Lottie’s POV

The doctor told Caren there was nothing physically wrong with her. She thinks she was just exhausted herself. She also admitted that as Caren is a hybrid, it would be difficult to tell if there was a problem with her powers. The only advice she could give her was to take it easy for a few days.

We asked to borrow a car. Then, with our mates in the front seats, we drove home. I held Caren’s hand the whole way. The only sound that filled the journey was our quiet sobs.

I couldn’t hold it together when the house came into view. I kept control throughout the entire journey. But now, when I saw the house, it all became real. She isn’t going to be there. She is really gone. Forever. My quiet sobs weren’t quiet anymore.

If we had never left, would she still be alive? I looked at my mate. No, I can’t think like that. She wanted us to leave. She encouraged us to live our lives. Be the best version of ourselves. She was the best mom. No, she was a great mom.

    Nix’s POV During the journey back to the palace, Eden slept with her head on my shoulder. Parker was sitting on the other side of her. We sat in silence. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but my thoughts were about Millie. I still blame myself for her death. I have to let Caren know. I have to tell her it is my fault Millie died. I need to beg her and Lottie’s forgiveness. I looked out of the window. What would my mom make of me being responsible for Millie’s death? Tears filled my eyes, a lump formed in my throat. I give a small sniffle. “Don’t,” Parker says. “Please don’t. It will start me off again.” I guess he is thinking of her, too. I nodded at him once and regained my composure. As soon as the car came to a stop, I picked up my sleeping mate. “Ethan, wake up.” I heard Parker saying. “What? Uh? Where am I?” Then I saw Ethan on the palace steps. “No one here knows me. They wouldn’t let me inside. I had nowhere else to go. So, I waited.” I laughed at him. He is no

    Rayne’s POV It’s early when Dawson mind links me. I hardly slept thinking about everything that had happened. Elizabeth hasn’t unleashed her wrath on me yet. She told me I didn’t need anything else to worry about, not right now. She also told me about how brave my men were at the hospital, but it was Ara that made the most impact. “From a distance, she helped save them.” It’s laughable that until yesterday morning, I never even knew she existed. Now I am indebted to her. I am making my way to Dawson’s office. When I bumped into Nix, he was waiting for Eden. He is talking to a few friends of his, Parker and Ethan. Parker is Maddox’s younger brother. Ethan is a former member of the Wolf Council. “Former?” I asked suspiciously. He lifts his shirt to reveal some horrible scars. “Yes, former. I have been trapped with Parker and Caren since they saved me.” I walked up to Dawson’s office. Dawson is sitting in a chair, obviously thinking. I sat in the chair opposite him. “Where to st

    Summer’s POV “How do you know that?” Nix asked me. I stared at him as my eyes filled with tears. “Wait here.” I told him. I made my way out of the room, sharing my shocked emotion with Alexis. I know for a fact that both my mates are behind me. Their curiosity manifested through the bond. We have been together so long that they know everything about my life. But why would they know about Natalia? I knew her before I met them. I enter my wardrobe. Go to the end shelf and, using a chair, I reach up and pull out a worn-out cardboard box. It’s covered in a layer of dust. It’s been a long time since I opened this box. There are memories from my past stored inside. As I headed down the stairs, I clutched it tightly to my chest. Sitting in front of the fireplace. In front of my family and their mates, I opened the box. “Once upon a time, I trained to be a doctor in the human world. It was beneficial for my pack to have someone trained in obstetrics for that time in a woman’

    Nathan’s POV This week has been incredibly intense. Looking around the room, I am thankful that my family has survived. In addition, the discovery of my children’s mates has resulted in its expansion. Summer is right, though. What is the goddess up to? What does she want? Both me and Dawson are about to go to our office and speak to Rayne and Ethan again. See if we can figure out what has happened. When we all hear a loud noise and shouting coming from the hallway. We make our way to the door. “I am sick and tired of people attacking us in our own home,” Dawson remarks. We headed towards the door. The disturbance is obviously escalating as the yelling is getting louder. “Stay here.” I tell everyone as me and Dawson head out of the door. I saw some of the royal guards. They’re trapped. Their legs are frozen in ice. “I demand to see the King’s,” a voice booms. “Do we not have enough to deal with?” Dawson mind links me. “Over my dead body.” Rayne’s voice reso

    Nix’s POVThe older adults seem to be discussing something. “I have to do it, Diesel. I have to tell them. It is killing me to look at them.” I walked over to them both. “Caren. Lottie, can I have a word? Please.” I said to them both. “Sure.” They both responded, smiling at me. We walked over to the edge of the room. I took a deep breath. “It’s my fault.” I told them both. Eden appears by my side and holds my hand. “It’s my fault she is dead. She used all of her power to get me there. She would still be alive if it wasn’t for me. It’s eating me alive that I haven’t told you. Please forgive me.” I cried into Eden’s shoulder.A hand rests on my back. Convincing me to turn back. I didn’t know what to expect. But I know it wasn’t a hug from both Caren and Lottie. It only lasts a few seconds before they let go. “You’re not the reason she died, Nix. The Wolf Council was responsible for her death. She died because she knew she could help. Power or no power, if she could help anyone, she woul

    Summer’s POV “Summer?” a voice shouted my name from the hallway. I went to investigate. “Oh, my goddess. Gale.” I ran towards my brother. I am ashamed to admit it. It didn't occur to me he was missing. “Where have you been?” I questioned him as we hugged. “You have missed so much.” “Do you not remember? They sent me to the Red Moon Pack to help Isaac. I bumped into...” “Gale?” I said, sternly. Cutting him off mid-sentence. No matter what he has to say, I feel what I need to tell him is more important. “They killed Adam. They kidnapped me and Eden.” His eyes widen in disbelief as he looks at me. “He nearly killed us. The Wolf Council attacked the palace.” He puts his hands on my shoulders. “How is Autumn? The baby?” “I haven’t seen her. I know they had to deliver the baby. I am going there now.” “I’m coming. She will need us.” I nodded my head frantically because she would. Then he hugged me again. “Do you know who it was?” He asked me. “Carly’s father. It was

    Rayne’s POV We spent forever in that office discussing the future of the entire country. Nathan isn’t holding back; he wants change, and he wants it now. Alpha Dalton is telling him exactly how it’s been for a pack like his. Nathan is less than impressed by the lies the Wolf Council has been feeding him. Ethan offered insight into some reports he was receiving from pack members. The Wolf Council didn’t seem to care about many of the issues that would concern us. Including Alpha’s abusing their authority. “The headquarters of the Wolf Council is to be cleared out. I want everything brought here and assessed,” Dawson states angrily. They decided that the new Wolf Council headquarters were to be built a few miles from the palace. “From now on, we will work together to make our kingdom great for most wolves. No secrets, no talismans. Just leaders working together for the best interest of the people.” Nathan tells us all. Ethan excuses himself as he has someone to meet and

    Ethan’s POV The king’s are going on about uniting the kingdom. All I can think about is Ara. I hope she knows I didn’t stand her up this morning. She’s bound to have noticed that I left with the General. It’s nearly lunchtime and they are recapping what they had already discussed when I excused myself. I told them I had someone to meet. Despite feeling impolite, I can’t stand her up. “We’ll talk later,” the General tells me. I’m not concerned with the later. My focus is on the present. I made my way to the stables. I don’t see Ara, but I see John. He knows I am Ara’s mate. “You here to talk to her?” He enquires. “Yes. But she seems like she's always busy, so I'm considering tying her to a chair to talk to me.” He laughs. “That may be the only way.” He goes to walk away. But turns around, “I will pick Brandon up from kindergarten. Take as long as you need. Just convince her she needs you.” He smirks at me. I don’t know how to respond to that. “Mate.”

    Charlie’s POV “What are we going to do, Jacob? How did we end up losing track of so much time? Darcey is going to kill me.” “Don’t worry too much. Darcey will be at home, tucked up in bed. She won’t even notice you were gone.” Is he serious? Darcey will know. We’re trying for a baby, and she is demanding sex every night. Not just a quick session either! The past week she has been hornier than ever, and I have been running on fumes. She will know I’m not there. I knew it was a mistake. Letting our wolves go for a run before the blue moon. But Jacob insisted. He convinced me I had been stressed lately. That I needed to let off some steam. Now I was going to be in a bucket full of crap. Thanks Jacob, I think to myself. Our wolves took over, blocking us out. They only let us have our bodies back because they became dormant. Now here we are standing here bollock naked in the middle of nowhere, miles from home. “It’s going to take ages to get back.” “It’s going to take you ages.

    Stephanie’s POV “Steff. How are you feeling?” A voice asked me. “Horrible. My head hurts so much.” Am I speaking to someone in my mind? Whoever it is laughing at me. Did I actually die? I can’t have died. I would be back in the wolf realm. From the smells in this place, I am definitely not there. In fact, one smell is so very good, like delicious. I can’t put my finger on it, but it is mouth watering. “That’s our mate.” The voice says again. “I don’t have a mate. I don’t have a wolf.” “You do now. Selene sent me to you.” I slowly figured out that’s who I was talking to me. “There’s so much you need to know, Steff. Or is it Annie or Stephanie?” “No, no, no.” I’m so confused. “What I need to know is which wolf Selene sent me?” Whoever she is shakes herself and stands proud. She then pounds her feet. How do I know what she is doing? “Selene sent me to you. She said, I am to look after you. Ensure you get life-long happiness and joy. The love you deserve.” “Fine,

    Hecate’s POV “An opportunity has risen. You’re the perfect choice for the role.” I tell the couple that have been living an isolated life. They both look at me. “Selene needs to give a wolf less soul, the powers of the blue moon goddess. Only someone who is willing can accept the powers. It would mean you would have to live in the wolf realm. With him forever.” I said, gesturing towards her mate. “I can live here with him forever.” She responds. “You can live there forever and oversee your children and grandchildren. You can be with their wolves for all eternity.” I now have the attention of them both. “Can I visit them?” She asks curiously. “Occasionally,” I tell her. I know Selene will restrict visits, especially after Steff burned through her last body so fast. “I also want to negotiate with Selene about you overseeing any hybrids. They need support and guidance. Given your experience in this field, I thought it would be fitting.” She looks at me, then at the wolf at her side.

    Tripp’s POV “You are a goddam idiot. You just walked away from her. I thought you said you wouldn’t be rejecting her, no matter what?” I said snappily to Elliot. Still not quite believing he walked away from our mate. He walked away and shifted. “I won’t be rejecting her. It’s just a lot to take in. I needed to process everything she told me. She has lived so many lives, knows everything about us. Not to mention she is in our mate’s body. That’s just weird.” “You couldn’t have told her that?” I roared at him angrily. I have been Elliot’s wolf for a long time and that by far is the stupidest thing he has ever done. “Steff’s body was dying because of her frequent visits to earth, to save your family. Annie’s soul was gone, her body was dying. Why can’t she have a life? She has helped so many over the years and is a good friend to all of us wolves.” I said now, trying to reason with the fool. “Do you know her?” Elliot asked me. “Yes. She lives in the wolf realm most of the time with

    Elliot’s POV After my graduation, Dad decided to stop at Blackwood farm on his way home to the palace. Dad wanted to visit his mom’s grave. During my studies, I visited Blackwood farm many times. It was so quiet and away from the busyness of the school. It was a great place to study and Tripp, my wolf, loved being surrounded by nature. Dad visited whenever he came to see me. But he always got upset. This will be the last time he will visit Blackwood Farm for quite a while. I expect him to be worse today. I drove back in the early hours of the morning. I know Elizabeth and I have agreed I will start on Monday. But I am so excited. She is looking forward to some time off. My great aunt Elizabeth has been a great mentor since I started my training. I know my grandma has been as well, but she doesn’t practice anymore. Even though I am a few days early, she hands me my white coat. It feels so official putting it on. I can’t stop smiling as she gives me the tour o

    Stephanie’s POV “Come on Stephanie. We’re going to be late.” Charlie calls out to me. I know he wants to get to work early today. But, of course, on the day I am supposed to be ready early. Everything goes wrong and I am running late. Darcey gave Charlie a chance. I am thrilled she did. Knowing what he overcame puts my heart at rest that they will take care of each other forever. Since then, Charlie has become a valued member of the kingdom. Proving to Darcey and everyone else that he is a worthy mate for her. She made him work for it, though. Part of the agreement between them was that he didn’t join the royal guard. He agreed not only because Darcey asked him not to, but because he knew Addie and Avery would make his life hell. They still hold a grudge because of his actions and the emotional suffering they caused her. Instead, Charlie got a job teaching the kids in the kingdom’s school. He also organizes regular camping trips for older children and aids with a program to

    Steff’s POV I look at both of Annie’s parents. They look lost. “Will you keep her name?” “I would prefer to keep my own name.” Her mom looked like she was about to cry again. “How about a compromise? Combine the two. How does Stephanie sound?” She nods her head, composing herself. “Why is Hecate coming?” Annie’s father asks. “Annie’s body will need to be strengthened to house my soul. It won’t hurt Annie. I assure you.” Her father’s body seemed to sag with relief. “After the soul transfer. I will stay for a while. Let you say really say goodbye to her.” I don’t think they know what to say to that. But they will when the time comes. “No one is to know about this. It has never happened in the past.” I told them both. Just before Hecate appeared. Her appearance can be alarming if you’re not used to seeing her. Hecate has dark hair and dark eyes. For supernatural occasions, which this is, Hecate wears dark clothes and a spiked headpiece. She looks like an evi

    Darcey’s POV When I woke up, all I wanted to do was find Charlie. The images in the lake still broke my heart. But what I needed more than anything was a drink. Elizabeth had been hydrating my body with some intravenous fluids, but my throat was as dry as a desert. Then people started fussing over me. “Take it easy was Caren’s advice.” Esme assured Caren I would. Then she promised to stay by my side until I made a full recovery. “Ayla, you had better make this a swift recovery.” I told her. Although I love my sister, spending a lot of time with her could be challenging. In fact, I am not sure we would be friends if we weren’t sisters. We are that different. But we are always there for one another. I know Charlie isn’t going anywhere. Nat visited me, telling me she had confined him and Jacob to a suite on the first floor. “You make it sound like he is a prisoner.” Esme says curiously to her. “He saved her life.” “I know,” Nat says sweetly. “When Darcey is feeling bet

    Goddess Selene’s POV “You said we had more time.” Annie’s mom questions me. I want to remind her I am a goddess. But I really want Steff to have Annie’s body. “You do. I can now answer your questions.” I explained to Annie’s parents. Steff steps forward. “I am the blue moon goddess. I take care of the wolves in Selene’s realm during the blue moon and the eclipse. Your wolves know me well. The rest of the time, I am Selene’s companion. In my youth, my physical body hurt so badly it died. I now require a host body, a vessel to house my soul. Selene says you are considering letting me use your daughter’s body?” “Yes,” Annie’s father says proudly. “It would be an honor.” “I just want to know she will be cared for.” Her mom cried. “I have taken care of many bodies over my long life. Your daughter will be no different.” Her mom cries again but nods her head, implying her consent. “Steff, will you remain with them until Hecate arrives? I have business elsewh
