Third person POV “Beta Leon, have you found anything that could be of importance yet?” Alpha Radar spoke as he worked his way through the office bookshelf, each thump of a discarded book on the floor was another notch on Alpha Radar’s already stretched last nerve. The ripping sound of book pages mixed in with the clattering of office items falling to the wooden floor and rustling papers was a ticking time bomb. Soft curse words whispered throughout the room as his Beta rummaged through the large solid oak desk of the previous Alpha’s Office. "Nope, only bills, warrior stats, and a load of useless junk." He exclaimed, clearly disgusted. "You think there's something hidden in here?" He asked, questioning, as he yanked open another drawer and dumped its contents onto the desk.“Yes, I am certain.” Alpha Radar rubbed his tired eyes and then let out a sigh. He looked down at himself still covered in blood and dirt from the recent battle, but a shower or a bath will have to wait. He knew
Third Person POVAlpha Radar came back from his thoughts when he pulled the last book from the shelf with nothing to show for it. Anger bubbled up inside of him, turning his eyes black letting his wolf reach the surface. He grabbed the side of the bookshelf and pulled but the wood did not budge from the wall. It just slid to the side showing a small slit of a doorway. Radar’s eyes widened in shock as he pushed hard on the side of the bookshelf the rest of the way exposing a passageway leading down into the depths under the packhouse. Radar and Leon took a moment to gather their thoughts, before Beta Leon spoke. “I will call some warriors to go down there, Alpha, just in case it’s a trap.”“No… that won’t be necessary.” Said Alpha Radar, waving his Beta to follow him. “Let’s not involve anyone until we venture in ourselves.”With a nod, Beta Leon followed Alpha Radar down the narrow passageway; their wolves close to the surface of their minds ready in case of an unexpected attack. Onc
Ciara's POV 13 Years Later“Ciara!”The sound of my name crept up my spine like spider legs, jolting me awake from my midday slumber. Keeping my eyes closed, I pretended to be invisible as the sound of the leaves rustling in the summer June breeze continued to lull my mind into a calm stupor.“CIARA JOY!”If I can’t see her, then I don’t hear her. I thought to myself in a sing-song voice as I reclined cross-legged with my head resting back against the trunk of one of my favorite hiding spots in the woods. Nestled on the east edge of the border of our pack’s land is my favorite oak tree, with thick, wide branches stretching out in all directions high above the rest of the woods. My oak tree also has the most magnificent views of the mountains and surrounding woods which also border on two sides of the Crystal Lake waters.“Miss Ciara Joy Callaway, you better not be up some tree again, or so help me. Goddess. I will tell Alpha Radar and your father you are flapping about again!”Yep, th
Ciara's POV I decided to jog home to stretch out my stiff leg muscles from the morning training. I jog past several pack members and wave, but they don’t wave back. Being who I am, you would think people would know me. I am Beta Leon’s daughter... well... adopted daughter. I am on OK terms with most of the pack members, but most don’t pay much attention to me. However, I am lucky to be part of the warrior unit. Our unit is made up of mostly male werewolves and I am the only female in the top elite squad.My family house isn't too far from the main road that runs down to the center of our territory. We are about a twenty-minute drive from the Packhouse and hospital, which are in the center of the pack lands.I jog past several small businesses and the school which housed kindergarten through senior year. We are the first house on the corner of the pack’s residential area. Most of the pack prefer to have their own residences. Only the Alpha and his family lived in the Packhouse.As I w
Ciara's POV I opened the garage door to the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. “Goooood afternoon my big sexy daddy. Did you miss your baby girl?” I sing to my shiny dark blue custom-made Yamaha sports bike with all the latest accessories. I purr at it as I run my index finger down the center of the bike to the sleek black leather seat.‘CJ, there is something definitely wrong with you.’ my wolf, Ember, shakes her large furry reddish-brown head in disgust as she turns to lay down near the back of my mind. I laugh as I straddle onto my bike. I love it when Ember calls me by my nickname—CJ for Ciara Joy.I slid my full-face helmet over my head because safety first, then I put on my aviator sunglasses because awesomeness second. I popped the switch and let the engine roar to life between my thighs. The vibrations of the engine fill my entire body with joy. My thighs tighten around the leather seat bringing a giddy smile to my lips. I let out a soft moan, kick the kick-stand then hea
Ciara's POV I push open the door and slip in to find the two most powerful men in our pack standing behind the large wooden oak desk - Beta Leon and Alpha Radar.Alpha Radar gestures for me to take a seat on the leather couch as he takes his seat at his desk while my father, Beta Leon, stands off to the side behind the Alpha’s desk. I scanned the room realizing there are more people in this meeting than I thought would be here. Besides Alpha Radar and Beta Leon, Alpha Radar’s son and future Alpha of the pack, James and Noah, who is my brother and future beta, are present for the meeting. Even the Head Warrior and my trainer, Maximo is leaning on the far wall waiting. All eyes staring at me! A towering group of 6’ foot tall werewolves and suddenly, I’m feeling like a cooked lamb chop on a dinner plate. Waiting to be devoured.“Ciara,” Alpha Radar’s eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. “I see you had time for a… snack?” He paused momentarily before looking down at my shirt.I follow his ga
Ciara's POV I look at them in shock. Then, my mouth moves before my brain can catch up to stop me. “Wait… Isn’t Alpha Mars… like ancient old?”Behind me, I can hear Noah and James burst out laughing. “No! Muttonhead, he just turned 28 last month.” Noah pokes me in the back of the head.“Well… The rumors make him sound like he’s been around the battlefield block a time or two. Plus, Hazel will just turn 18, so that’s a pretty significant age gap,” I say annoyed as I cross my arms in frustration at being called names. “And I’m not a muttonhead, you single-brain cell monkey.”I whisper the last part because I don’t want our father hearing me, but no luck. Our father growls at us to stop acting childish. ‘You are 25 and 20 and you are the representatives of our Beta family. Act your age!’ He minds-links us privately. My mind instantly went to act your age not your shoe size, but this time I was smart enough not to sing that out loud.“You know very well that werewolves treat age differen
Ciara's POV A few seconds tick by, and then it hits me like a tidal wave. “NO!” I yell standing to my feet; making a sweeping look around the room at all the men who are staring at my outburst. I move towards the Alpha’s desk. “You promised me!” I slam my palms down onto the wood surface as my body begins to shake. My dark gray smokey eyes begin to shift to black as Ember works her way to the surface. She is angry just as much as I am because she was hoping to find her mate. Alpha Radar slowly stands up from his chair and towers over me, matching my position with clenched fists on the desk. Using his alpha aura to keep me in his control, he forces me to look into his eyes as he speaks. His wolf, Delta, flashing in his eyes. “Ciara, you will have to understand; you can’t go to the festivities now. No one can know about you and your abilities. Very few know already, and we want to keep it that way. If the Royals find out that you were created by the Dark Alpha, they will think you are
Third Party POV – Five years Later“Daddy!” A four-year-old little girl with blonde wavey hair and striking smokey gray eyes wandered through the halls of the packhouse, paying no mind how loud she is. “DAAAAAADDDDDDDYYYYY!!!!” She yelled again.“What’s the matter, Isabella?” Beta Hunter strolled out of the packhouse kitchen munching on a bag of chips.“Uncle Hunter, Uncle Hunter” The little girl runs up and stands on her toes in front of him, hoping to make herself taller. “Where Daddy? They do it again!” She points her little finger in the direction she just came from. Her plump little cheeks red with annoyance.Beta Hunter couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. This was a normal grievance from the little princess. “Oh, dear. Did you tell your mom?”Isabella crossed her arms with a huff, “No! I want daddy! Mommy say they playing, but nanny says they will break their necks! Wolves keep feet on the ground!” She rushed through in one big breath. She looks back down the hall and n
Ciara’s POV (several months later)That’s it! Its official… I think the moon goddess has changed her mind and decided to finish me off with an unknown disease. She has played a cruel trick on me. Giving me high hopes of the perfect wonderful life then snatching it away with a virus. I finally got my mate; I am Queen Luna, and I am surrounded by people who love and cherish me. Now I am hugging the porcelain throne of waste as if it is a lifeline from a sinking ship! Goodbye cruel world! Hello field of endless sleep…After my Luna Ceremony and the coronation of the new King and Queen, life at the Blue Eclipse pack turned into a pretty good routine. Alpha King Mars went back to his duties, and I took up the role of nontraditional, ass-kicking warrior Queen Luna.Owen and I had a big lavish wedding, to which all the pack leaders were invited. Our honeymoon was a cross-country ride on our motorcycles! Owen had my stuff and motorcycle shipped over to our pack as soon as my trial was over as
Chapter – Dear DiaryCiara’s POVDear Diary – Sorry I haven’t written in a while. My therapist and Owen had to remind me that writing will help my PTSD and help me cope with the memories of my time with the Dark Alpha. It’s been a crazy few months of learning to accept what I can’t change and to not blame myself for the past. I will admit the nightmares have gotten better since I started sleeping next to my goddess given mate. Being able to sleep has really helped the healing process, but when I do have a nightmare, Owen has to remind me I am no longer bound by the magical commands.Benji is getting better as well. She finally has some color back in her face and she no longer looks like a corpse. She is even able to take small walks with me around her garden, but it won’t be for a few more months til she’s able to go back in the medical lab doing what she loves. Each day she gets better and better, but I still sometimes find her sitting by the window with a far-off blank look on her fa
Alpha Mars’ POVI hug my mate then taste her sweet lips with a soft sinful kiss. Every hurdle, every roadblock, are destroyed and our path to forever is completely clear. I purr into her mouth, “Now you come home with me, and I get to touch your body until the break of day. I am going to kiss every inch of you, maybe even taste that beautiful pussy of yours, but no sex til you are 100% healed.” Without anyone noticing, I pull the blanket over her breasts so no one can see my hand, then flick and play with her nipple with my fingers.She moans then suddenly breaks away from my hold as if she just discovered something important, “Benji!”I look at her confused, “What?”“I want to go see Benji.” She looks at me with such pleading eyes that I groan. I rest my head on her shoulder. My cock throwing a tantrum over being so close to our mate and she throws a wrench into my sexually frustrated plans.“Seriously? You haven’t seen me in months, then you were unconscious for weeks, almost dying
Alpha Mars' POV We watched as the men and women of the elder council filed into their chamber. It wasn’t until the last robe disappeared behind the door that I finally felt like I could breathe. In a couple of strides, I was next to Ciara’s wheelchair kissing her sweet plump lips with everything my soul could give. The audience slowly filed out of the court room around us, but I wasn’t paying attention. My eyes were glued on my mate.“Fuck, I don’t think I could handle listening to your story much longer. I was ready to go to war with a fucker who is already dead.” I cupped her cheeks and stared into her smokey gray eyes. Her dark lashes fluttered her tears away as she smiled up at me. Goddess, I missed her smile.“What happens now?” Ciara says.“Well, they bring me their decision, and I fight it. But if they want to pursue it further, they can overrule my decision or go to the Magical Creature Council. But I don’t think it will come to that. I watched their reactions to your story.
Alpha Mars’ POVIs she out of her mind!?! She’s supposed to be resting and recovering from nearly dying! Not fucking being wheeled around by my warriors. And that pissed me off even more! The three warriors who were placed to guard her, brought her here to the courtroom and didn’t even bat a fucking eye on going against my command.I look over at Hunter who is smiling like a fucking idiot, secretly holding two thumbs up in approval at his mate, Freya. She smiled widely at him then blushed. Fucking, dammit!“What is your mate doing here? Shouldn’t she be resting? What if she gets sick again from the cold? What if something bad happens to her? This isn’t safe…” My mother fussed in my ear, but I waved her away. Those same thoughts were running through my mind, but what could I do? Ciara is a stubborn thing, but I loved her for it.“I hear you are trying to decide what my fate should be.” Ciara’s voice is calm and collected, just like a powerful Luna should be. “It’s considered rude to ta
Ciara’s POV Every inch of my body was stiff like a pole was shoved up my back. My muscles refused to work, my brain was foggy, and I am pretty sure my bladder was about to explode. A numb tingling feeling like when my foot falls asleep was crawling all over my skin. Basically, I was miserable. ‘Ember are we dead?’ I whined through our link. I started wiggling my toes and fingers slowly getting some sensation back. Every slight movement was a small blessing. I guess the moon goddess wasn’t going to make things easy by letting me magically rise from the dead like a phoenix… Nope she had to go the zombie route. Snort. ‘You aren’t dead, Frankenstein, just stiff… You need to keep moving your body. I’m working on healing you…’ Ember was a wonderful sight to see in my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Ember, is it weird without our friends with you?’ She nodded, ‘yeah it’s a bit lonely without their presence, but at least we have the memories.’ I smiled at that…. ‘Now open your eyes, I
Alpha Mars' POV Ciara’s beautiful smokey gray eyes squinted up at me then fluttered in and out of focus. She tried to adjust her position on the bed, but she was stiff from laying still for weeks. She let out a soft groan but couldn’t get any words out. She tried to speak again, but her eyes widen in realization instead, clutching at her throat in panic. Shit that fucking tube in her mouth… She was struggling to breathe! I just got her back and now she’s going to die from fixation from a fucking life-support tube!“I’ll get someone to help!” Artemis ran out of the room while Freya stood motionless crying, and my sister Olivia just looked uncomfortable since she has never met Ciara before.I pulled my chair closer to Ciara, “Its ok, Baby… someone will be here soon to take that fucking thing out. Keep your eyes on me. That’s it, baby… Look at me… I got you!” I smiled at her still holding and kissing her fingertips as I continued to whisper sweetly to her. “I am not going anywhere. You a
Alpha Mars’ POVI stare at my mothers’ retreating back in complete confusion. “What the fuck just happened?” My mind couldn’t handle another fucking thing to worry about. Wasn’t only a few months ago, my mother was calling Ciara some no-name whore? Now she’s fussing over her blankets, checking over her, and warning me about the fucking council? Plus, she admitted to her mistakes in her own way?“Boss, I think we need to take heed of her words about those sneaky old bastards.” Hunter pulled out his phone from his back pocket, working over the screen with his finger. “There’s nothing on the pack calendar for a meeting, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t meeting in private. I need to get a hold of Elder Mayfield. She’s always been on your side and will know what’s going on. I’ll be back shortly.” Then he rushed out the door without another word.Theo patted my shoulder as he stood as well. “I better get back to my family. Antonia will bring more food later. No te preocupes, Ok? No worries
