Nina POV
I was so nervous. I had no choice but to be successful. The Sabrina, the Moon Goddess, appeared to me while I was changing to help get my mind off the pain. I was able to block Wyatt from feeling what I was feeling and send him comforting emotions.
Sabrina told me I had one other power that no other person has ever had in our existence. I had to keep it a secret until the moment was right. Even from Grant. She verified Grant is who is said he was and told me to trust him. Why I shouldn’t show my most powerful power was beyond me but I fully trusted her. She briefly told me that I needed to do this journey to the council by myself. If anyone came with me, we would fail. I would have to present myself for questioning, and by questioning, she meant torture. Sabrina said they will do some heinous things but I must prevail in order to get the information to bring down the council and Devin himself. Wyatt must never know of that line of questioning till after. If
Thank you all for reading and for the support! I love to see all the comments.
The next morning, we got up and got dressed ready to start our day. The mood was a somber one as neither of us really spoke or said anything of importance. It was like Wyatt was distancing himself from me but in reality, he just didn’t know how to process these emotions. I understood it though. If it was the other way around, I am not sure I wouldn’t lock him in a room and force him to stay. I knew he was going to feel everything that happened to me. I knew I could block emotions from him but I don’t know about physical pain. Reed, Wyatt, Kelly and I sat in the kitchen eating our breakfast. Reed and Kelly were being very touchy and already in love. I saw them supporting a new marking on their necks and I knew they completely the mating process. “Congratulations!” I said as I grinned from ear to ear Kelly did the obligatory pulling hair to the side so I could see her mark. It was beautiful black and blue marking of a moon and stars. It fit her perfectly.
Grant walked over to Wyatt and started whispering to him. I saw Reed’s eyes go black and his stance get really rigid. I don’t think I am going to like what is going to happen. I kept going over in my head about all the control my dad taught me. I needed to focus, have a game plan. I don’t know how many times I tasted my own blood and tears as my dad beat control into me. But when the emotion gets in, I am a goner. It rises up to the service and just explodes. Like when I blasted Wyatt or when I blasted the door open. It took me a solid two weeks of being held captive before I got fed up and did that. Grant and Wyatt came over to me, I could see how pissed off Wyatt was. Glancing back as Reed, he sat down in a chair with this head in his hands, looking at the ground. His elbows were resting on his knees. I looked into his emotions and he was pissed off, scared and worried. Oh man, I am really not going to like this. Looking at Wyatt, he was feeling pissed off, worried
Walking into the kitchen, the staff had an amazing spread for us. Along the middle of the stable was different pastas, garlic bread, salad and veggies. Everything was steaming and made my mouth water just looking at it. I decided to go with my favorite, Garlic Buttery Shrimp Linguine with 2 garlic bread rolls. I saw Grant chose Manicotti with one garlic great and a bowl of salad that he topped with ranch and croutons. We ate in silence. As I heard the crunch of his croutons, I couldn’t help but to think of what his life must have been like. Why didn’t he come into my life sooner? Did he even know about me? Did my dad and him not get along? I had like a thousand things I wanted to ask him but I was trying to be patient and let the man eat. “If you don’t stop bouncing your leg…” Grant said as he smiled at me I didn’t realize how nervous I was getting as my body was literally bouncing with it. “Sorry! I just have so many questions” I said as I sighed and forced
It was getting late so I decided to head to bed. Grant was saying his goodbyes and talking over final strategies with Reed. I started to feel Wyatt’s absence and wanted to make things right with him. I know on some level he truly did mean what he said. Otherwise, I would have been able to tell straight off if it was a lie. However, he didn’t mean it maliciously. He has only known me for a month now or so. I felt like I needed to give him the benefit of the doubt and make things right. Walking into our bedroom, I saw him hunched over in a chair, elbows on his knees and his head hung. I let his emotions flow over me. Sorrow, worry with a lot of regret. Frowning, “Wyatt?” I said softly. I knew with his wolf ears he would have heard me. Slowly, he picked his head up and looked at me. His face looked haunted. “I am so sorry Nina.” He said with so much sorrow in his voice. I walked up to him and pushed him back in the chair and straddled him. He placed his hands on
The days few by and next thing I knew it was the day of the meeting. Alphas from all over were either arriving for the meeting or if they could not travel, were video calling in. To say I was nervous, would be an understatement. My body couldn’t stop bouncing. I had my speech all laid out in front of me. Kelly and I have been perfecting it for hours now trying to find the right words to put down. Wyatt was pretty sure someone was going to be challenging me but I welcomed that kind of fight. Physical fighting, I could do, I have been practicing my abilities enough now that people give me worried looks when I walk into the room. Trying to convince people they should be on my side was a whole different form of concern. Public speaking was never my strong suit. My psalms would get sweaty, I would start stuttering an I would get dizzy. Wyatt kept reminding me I was born to lead and being a leader was being able to encourage and set an example for the people. If I couldn’t speak t
I started pacing around the room as Kelly grabbed a chocolate muffin and ate it. It was all I could do to not roll my eyes at her. Oh, I wish I had her carefree attitude! I watched her casually sat down on the couch, cross her legs and eat her muffin like she has been doing this her whole life. Maybe, I would feel that way if the rolls were reversed. Justin and Maverick stood on either side of the door with their arms folded over their chest. “How professional of you boys” I teased They both smirked but looked uneasy. “We have strict orders and I rather not have the alpha break my arm. That shit hurts!” Justin said looking unimpressed. I waved off his comment. “I wouldn’t let you get hurt for me being clumsy” “Regardless, your safety is our top priority. The alphas believe someone will try to get to close to you and we are not to allow it.” I zeroed in on that. “You what? Wyatt thinks I am going to be attacked?” Maverick looked at Just
I heard Reed and Kelly kiss too before I opened the door. As soon as I did, I could hear hundreds of voices talking amongst themselves. I kept my back straight and I walked with a purpose. Wyatt guided me to the center of the room. There was a make shift stage with a while fabric lining it. There was a podium in the middle with a microphone for those joined in virtually. As soon as I hit the stage, silence fell over the crowd. You could hear a pin drop. I confidently walked up to the podium and placed my binder on it opening to my first page. I had most of it memorized but I wanted this for notes and to have something for my hands to play with if needed. I took a moment to look around me. Most Alphas brought their Lunas and they were sitting in a group in front of me. There are multiple screens behind them that showed more Alphas and Lunas. We had quite the turn out. “I would like to thank you all for making this trip on such short notice. Let me start by introducing
I turned to leave when someone shouted. “We stand behind you, my Queen!” I turned to look to see many of the Alphas and Lunas bowing their heads. A few Alphas turned and left the arena but majority of them stayed.“Leave your information with our front desk attendants before you leave here. They will provide you with our business card with our contact information. I will be sending out an email with updates on the ongoing situation with the council but a war is brewing. It is just a matter of time. Get your warriors ready!” Wyatt yelled to everyone. The other doors opened and allowed everyone to exit the area.I grabbed Wyatt’s arm as we began to walk out. Something sticky was on his jacket. I pulled my hand away and it was colored in red. I let out a gasp as I realized, Wyatt had been shot!“Holy fuck Wyatt! You got shot! You took the bullet for me!?”It was then I noticed how pale Wyatt was and I looked behind m
Thank you all for going down this journey with me. I have read each and every comment and appricated all the support and positive feedback I have recieved.

A few days have gone by and it is time to lay our loved ones to rest. I had decided that I will get everything done in one day so after the funerals, we will be doing the trials as well. If I am going to get emotionally exhausted, might as well do it all in one day. I am not sure I will ever be okay with funerals and death but it is part of my job and my life now so I should probably embrace it. I was packing what I needed to take home. After the funeral and trial, we will be returning home to figure out how the pack will run. The palace is making great progress so in a few months, it should feel like a home for me. We haven’t told anyone about our pregnancy but I think after the trial, I will say a speech and let everyone know. Wyatt has been itching to tell people. I just chuckle every time he rubs my belly and nags me about it. I heard the bedroom door open and looked over to see Wyatt came back from seeing everything was done correctly. The funeral will be on the
Wyatt and I walked hand in hand back toward the packhouse. Neither one of us said a word, just walked with our army behind us. I let all the emotions swarm around me as I let what just happened sink in. The pitch black of the night mirrored our feelings as a whole. Lives were lost tonight and the mastermind behind everything was finally exposed and eliminated. Turns out, there was an abandoned building about half of a mile into the woods. As we walked back, the forest was silent. The power radiating off of Wyatt and myself was suffocating to those in our path. We were hurt, broken hearted and tired. Grant took so much from both of us in different forms. Reed walked right behind us, carrying an unconscious Kelly like she was the most precious package. There are still so many things to address now but the main feeling of doom has finally left me. Tonight, I am going to mourn my losses but tomorrow we will look ahead at a brighter future. As the packhouse came into view
I just can’t believe it. I just can’t. Why Brooke, why? Staring at them laying on the floor, tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn’t give Kelly up. She was carrying a baby and already had head trauma. I don’t understand any of this. I laid Kelly down but still in my protective shield. Checking her head, I saw the bleeding had stopped but she was pale. I focused all my attention to the baby to see if I could feel him or her. I heard a small heartbeat and a hint of an emotion. Calmness? I couldn’t be sure but I felt the baby. I knew instantly it was a boy as well but I will keep that information to myself. Satisfied she was going to be okay, I stood up and started looking around. It was the basic set up from the room I was tortured but I feel like we didn’t walk that far so we can’t be terribly far from the packhouse. ‘Wyatt is coming, he said to just hold on a little longer.’ Raven assured me ‘Why Grant?’ I asked her just completely confused. ‘Did you know?’ ‘Som
“Ladies and gentlemen! It gives me great pleasure to present to you, your new King and Queen!” Theresa announced. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a gun went off and I felt it coming straight for my heart. It was like the world slowed down and everything was in slow motion. Wyatt leaped in front of me, trying to shield me from the attack but I had my eyes locked on the bullet that was headed straight for me. The room was filled with shocked and scared expressions but my focus was the bullet. As it inched closer, I felt this internal need to protect my baby. The only problem was, I didn’t know how. I felt an explosive energy leave my body and surround Wyatt and myself. It had hues of green and silver swimming around the sphere that surrounded us. The bullet hit the sphere and simply fell to the ground. My baby produced a force shield that protected his dad and mom. I knew this was not me doing it but it was the baby protecting us. Just how powerful
“Nina! It is time!” Autumn called from behind me. I was standing in front of a long mirror, trying to recognize myself. My hair was flawless pulled to the side and braided. Loose curly strands of hair framed my face and neck. The makeup was light and elegant with a little more dramatic eyeliner. Nude covered my lips, fingertips and toes. The shoes matched my jewelry perfectly. The girls had placed a shimmering lotion on my arms, chest and back making me slightly sparkly when the light hits my skin. The dress fit my perfectly and was the right balance of my personality and what a queen should look like. The only thing to make this better was if my mother was here. “Oh yeah, I am!” I said giving myself one last look. This is it, it’s time! I turned and saw Autumn with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye. “You are so beautiful! I know your mother would have been proud of you. Thank you for letting me make these things special for you. It is truly an honor.” Autumn
Today was the day! Today represents change that is about to come to all. A new beginning! I laid in bed, trying not to make a movement or sound to alert Wyatt that I was awake. I needed a few minutes to myself to wrap my head around everything. We have fought so hard to get to this day and now it doesn’t seem real. I am not happy about the branding but it guess it is what it is. Wyatt was PISSED off. I felt his anger through the bond. I am sure there will be a lot of things about this job that will upset him but I feel has long as I have my support system, I will be able to handle anything. The only thing I am worried about is the guest list. I assume they needed to invite all the Alphas and Lunas. I know they had to invite Damian and Holly but surely, they wouldn’t show… or anyone else that may not like me? Samantha really isn’t much of a threat so I can’t say I am that worried about her. If she even had the balls to show up here, I will handle her just fine. “I kno
“Let’s wait and see what happens. Right now, all we have is circumstantial at best. I want to actually catch them in the act.” I said as I sipped on my whiskey “How will we do that?” Reed asked. He had downed his second drink and was already on a third. “The big finale has still yet to happen. I can feel it, something big is still going to happen.” I said in an ominous voice. “How long have you known?” Wyatt said with a hint of annoyance “First off, the feelings I get did not go away when we got Devin and them all. Second, it’s not like I have been waiting a week to tell you. A lot has been going on. Third, you never asked either. However, I can just feel like something is going to happen and this person is going to make their move. If it is Zach, I don’t see what he would get out of it. Even if he kills me, he is not the right bloodline to take over. Maybe he wants to kill Wyatt and myself so he would have been Alpha, and get the money?” I said think
Walking in, I saw two men and a woman standing off to the right laughing together. One was shorter, grey hair, full beard and looked to be around 65. The second man was taller, around 6 foot, brown hair with grey peppered in there and wrinkles covering his face. He looked to be older, around 70 years old. The woman was stunning with her bleach blonde hair, average height and build with hints of wrinkles liner her forehead. They all turned to look at us when we entered the room “Oh my! You are so beautiful! My name is Theresa! This is Ed and Harry. We are so pleased to finally meet you!” Theresa said as she rushed over and gave me a hug. I was so stunned; I didn’t react at first but I quickly got my wits about me and gently hugged her back. “It is very nice to meet you all!” I said politely “Come child, no reason to be so formal! We like a relaxed atmosphere.” Said Ed, he was the older looking guy. “This is my mate, Wyatt. Kelly is her sister and her m
