Leia’s pov

I had no fucking desire to give the twins a big birthday party, but my parents and Asher’s parents had a different idea. They thought the twins deserved the attention, and it would show everyone we were still here and doing okay. Asher was still the Alpha, and I was still the Luna, and our pack was fine, and we were fucking fine.

It wasn't fucking fine at all. I wasn’t fine. I was miserable. I had a tight ass schedule to keep myself busy. I would shower, spend time with my boys, then, when Asher would come over, I would investigate, and then in the afternoon, I’d try to be a good mother again. At night, I’d fucking cry in the shower and miss my girls. During the day I kept busy, but at night I had no distractions, I cried in bed and usually fell asleep holding Elora’s stuffed animal and one of Aeryn’s shirts. It was like I was living a double life. Or a triple-fucking life. I tried to be the mother Argo and Airk deserved; I tried to find my daughter; and I tried to keep my f

I don't want Leia and Asher to be together again immediately. he hurt her too badly for that. I know a lot of people seperate after a tragic event, but I think they can get past this somehow.

Things are getting super interesting again Your writing is excellent and well thought out. only one suggestion when time jumps occur could you put that at the start i.e. 5 months later....

Don't take too long for them to get back together. I don't want to stop reading this book because I really like them together.

    hi. I should have spent this time writing for the Iron Alpha or The Alpha That Couldn't Remember, but I wasn't in the mood. So instead I wrote a long chapter for the new story. this isn't permanent, before I can get a contract things might change. Sometimes goodnovel wants to hear from the male pov first or they want me to edit some things out. So you get to read the first draft for free. I already made the book cover and you can find the story on the desktop version until it's actually signed. I got two tattoo's today and redid one that needed some touch ups. anyway. here's the chapter. - - - The flight didn’t take long, thank the fucking goddess, because it meant that I wasn’t far from the school, right? Alpha Dickface got off the plane first, with Eve behind him. She smiled at me, but her eyes looked sad. Then Storm walked past me as if I weren’t even there. Fucker. If he had just found a Luna on his own, I wouldn’t be in this fucking mess. I would be at school, escaping

    Leia’s povThe twins weren’t used to this many fucking people, and while Argo might be a social fucking butterfly, Airk sure wasn’t. So I clung to both kids like my fucking life depended on it and faked a smile for everyone that came.A lot of the people who greeted me looked at me with pity, and I fucking hated it. I get it; they weren’t trying to make me feel bad, but was that all people would see now? The woman who lost two of her kids?Some said I was so brave. So brave for what? Not hiding in a fucking hole, which I had done for fucking months and would have continued to do if it hadn't been for my parents, my boys, and the fact that I was the only one trying to find my girls.I didn’t really talk to anyone; I was just playing with the boys and following them around. They could walk now, and with this many people here, I was on the verge of a fucking panic attack."You’re doing great." Asher said, through the mindlink.I didn’t respond, but his words did help. It was just a few ho

    Kate’s pov"Any new leads?" Asher asked."What?""You and Leia have been asking questions for a long time now, so any new leads?" Asher said."You know about that?""I know everything. Well, I know who you’re talking to, but not about what." Asher replied.I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t know how he would react to some of the things we learned. It wasn’t much, and the trail had gone a bit cold. I knew Leia was stressed out about it; she really thought she could solve this mystery and then find her girls. I hated that even after almost two years, we still didn’t know much."We know Marco came from the Shadow Mountain pack originally, but we can’t talk to them. We know he used the drug we were trying to develop to knock Elora and Aeryn out, plus most likely Leia’s parents. The rest of the staff was asleep. We know Marco lied and had a temper when things didn’t go his way, but not much more. We've hit a bit of a dead end." I said."I don't know what we will do either. It's like we'r

    Leia’s pov"Can you come over to the lab?""It’s been a few fucking hours; I thought you said the tests would take longer?" I replied, surprised to hear from KitKat already."Just come, please, and bring Sierra," Kat sighed. "I’ve asked your mom and my mom if they can watch the boys. They’ll be there in ten minutes."What the fuck? We just got the bones this morning. How could Kate already have learned something? What did she learn? Was I right? I knew I was right, but there was a small part of me that doubted myself. Mostly because everyone except Reina was skeptical of me.She and I did have a difference of opinion on how to handle that fucking mate of ours. I have been living in the packhouse for almost a year now, and Reina has practically begged me to forgive Asher."I did no such thing!" Reina growled."For fucks sake, just admit it. You are way less fucking angry than I am.""Logan and Asher require our help, not our anger."I scoffed, "Yeah, because the both of them have got en

    Asher’s pov"We need to find a way to end this, one way or another." Uncle Eddie said.I had dragged all of them into a war, and although I hated it, I would do it again. Anything to pay the bastards back who took my girls and killed them.But talking to everyone at my pack did make me realize that I needed to be smart about this. There is a freaking war going on in the world of werewolves right now, with several packs fighting each other. It's almost like a world war."World War? Really?" Logan said. "It’s on one continent. No other countries are involved, just maybe twenty packs.""Just twenty?!" I replied. "It’s one of the biggest wars in ages."I tried to stay quiet and let the other people talk. Try not to be "the Iron Alpha" who lets no one have their own voice or opinion."You’re quiet, Asher. What do you think?" Ari asked."You all know I want nothing more than to find Alpha Braxton and Paul and make them pay, but I do realize that just storming any enemy pack isn’t the right m

    Leia’s povIt’s been three fucking weeks of holding my tongue and three fucking weeks of waiting for Asher to come home. Kate tested the bones, and not only was I right that they weren’t Elora’s or Aeryn’s bones, but my gut feeling about them being the bones of the couple Kyra and Ari had let into their pack was fucking right too.I have no fucking clue how Marco was connected to that girl. Did he take her too? Did he get the bones from somewhere else? Kate told me that someone could examine the bones, like that show "Bones" to see if they could find a fucking clue."I saw this cut on the bone that looked like a claw mark. Maybe she was attacked?" Kate had said after sending the bones to Kyra. Is there anything she can’t fucking do?Genius, check; researching bones, check. DNA testing, check. And now she says she has come up with a fucking plan for our meeting with some of our important pack members. Something that could help us find Marco, Alpha Braxton, and most importantly, my daugh

    Kate’s povI don’t want to make this whole thing about me. It’s not. I know it’s not about me. But ever since Sierra became the beta and Asher the alpha, I have been waiting for my chance to shine. It’s stupid. I know, but everyone always assumed I would do something great. People call me the smartest person they know, which is nice and all, but it only adds more pressure to be great. And my life right now is average.I sometimes get used like a human wiki-pedia, but other than that, I’m a mother, a wife, and a sister. I have spent most of my time caring for Isaac and worrying about Leia. I have studied for years and haven't used that knowledge much.When Nora was out there, killing people, I loved playing detective. I didn't like the part where she took me and almost killed me, but finding answers and solving puzzles is something I really like to do. And I'm good at it. I like being Sherlock Holmes, like Leia says.And I hate myself for saying this, but I think this is my chance to be

    Asher’s pov"Okay, don’t get mad." Leia started."That’s not a good way to start a conversation, princess." I replied, grabbing her by her waist.Leia squealed and swatted my hand away. We had gotten a lot closer over the years. I didn’t know if I had earned her forgiveness, but she had given it to me anyway. She had given me everything. Leia and I were a team again, and I knew it was thanks to her. She had enough reasons to reject me back then, yet she stuck with me."Okay, so I was thinking and I sort of forgot this. I mean, it’s been five fucking years, and you can’t expect me to memorize everything. You know, I did have a lot going on at the time. It was just after the boys' first birthday party, and, -""Just tell me; you know I don’t get mad that easily anymore."Leia scoffed, "Excuse me? You, Asher? Asher, the Iron Alpha. Last time we had a fucking lead, you wanted to kill the guy."Maggie and Rain had found a known associate of Alpha Braxton, and I had flown out and listened in

    Aaro’s povI shouldn’t have said that, but it was the fucking truth. No matter how much this wasn’t Storm’s choice any more than it was mine, he was still going to mark me against my will. Maybe if things were different, then I would have chosen Storm as my mate.I always hoped I would find my true mate, but that ship had fucking sailed the moment I was bought. Maybe even before then—maybe the moment I was brought to the damn school. It didn’t fucking matter anyway.I saw how my remark hurt Storm, and all I could think of to make this better was to ask him to kiss me. I knew it fucking made me feel better. More than better. The orgasm he gave me was out of this fucking world, and I just wanted to make him feel good too.I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, but he seemed to enjoy it, and to be honest, I was enjoying it too. I didn’t think having someone’s dick inside my mouth would be fun, but hearing Storm grunt and hold on to my hair and knowing I was the one doing it to him was a

    Storm’s povI knew if I got pissed off, Aaro would stop telling me the truth, so I let her talk while inside of me a storm was raging. I wanted to go to the school and kill everyone who ever hurt Aaro. I wanted to destroy the entire school and get everyone out, but I knew I couldn’t. I was a fucking hypocrite. My father had bought Aaro for me and had funded the school for years. I didn’t realize where part of our money was going until I checked the books today. Our pack had been giving money to the Goldacres for decades. How could I say I would destroy the school if I still profited from it? If it wasn’t for the school, I wouldn’t have met Aaro.I wanted to be Aaro’s home, her safe place. She deserved that. Despite the fucked up situation she was thrown into, she was trying to do things her own way. She could have ignored my mother like the rest, but instead she decided to learn Dutch. The thing that bonded me and mam together. If Aaro was smart, she would have sucked up to Dad and R

    Aaro’s povEve explained the phone to me, but I still felt like a fucking idiot using it. She was so patient with me, but I knew if others saw me fumbling with the phone, they’d think I was raised under a damn rock. Everyone used technology for everything, and I felt like I didn’t belong in this world.To be honest, I don’t belong here. I belong with my sister; I belong back home.But a part of me wished I did belong here. That I could give Storm what he deserved. He wanted a real person who didn’t have that many secrets, someone who could be themselves around him, and I wasn’t that at fucking all. I had to think before I spoke, because otherwise I could reveal the truth."I really am sorry, Aaro." Eve said again.I shook my head, "don’t be. I’ll be fine."Eve sighed, "it can be really hard sometimes, Aaro. I try to put on a brave face for Storm. I don’t want him to feel bad for me, but it’s really lonely for me. I miss my family and just having a life. Don’t get me wrong; if I had to

    Storm’s pov"Aaro is bijna klaar; douchen liep een beetje uit. [Aaro is almost done; the shower took a bit longer than expected.]Mam laughed, "Ik zie dat jij ook ging douchen? [I see you took a shower as well?] She ruffled my wet hair."Dus? [so?]""Niks. Ik ben blij voor je. Ze is speciaal vind je niet? Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen, maar misschien is zij je, - [Nothing. I am happy for you. She’s special, isn’t she? I am almost too scared to say, but maybe she’s your, -] " I stopped my mom from finishing her sentence."Mam zeg het niet dan! Fuck, je weet zelf wat pap zou doen. [Then don’t say it! Fuck, you know what Dad would do.]"My mother knew better than anyone what my dad thought of true mates, considering she was his. Dad and mom fell in love when they were seventeen. Love at first sight, she called it, and then my grandfather got killed and my dad turned into a paranoid asshole. Too scared of what a true mate meant. He wasn't just scared of losing half his soul if his true

    Aaro’s povFucking phone. That stupid fucking phone. Phones didn’t used to be like this, were they? I remember mom and dad having a phone, and I sometimes watched videos on it or played a game. But this thing was totally different.I felt so fucking out of place. I knew nothing about this world. I guess that the school does this on purpose. Make sure to isolate the girls once they’re out of the school. Make sure we don’t know how to use technology to ask for help.We’re not supposed to tell anyone about the school, but even if we only wanted to help ourselves once we were out, we wouldn’t be able to. We had no one to turn to and no way to set up any support system. Maybe I should talk to Eve. She had been isolated, stuck inside this packhouse. She knows how it feels, and maybe she knows how to get out of here.I opened the stupid phone again, cursing at it."You better not fuck this up again. Send text to Eve.""Send text to Eve," the phone said."Do you want to join me and Storm for l

    Storm’s povI put Aaro on my lap and let her eat."So what’s her deal?" Cara asked, mind-linking me."What do you mean?""She seems nice, but is she like the rest? Does she want you because of your title?"I laughed, "no, she isn’t like the rest. Not at fucking all. I don’t think she cares about becoming Luna at all.""Did she have any say in coming here? Did her parents force her?"I sighed, "she’s an orphan. It’s fucking complicated Cara, but she doesn’t really have a choice. So I’m trying my fucking best to make everything not suck as fucking much."Cara smiled at me, "you want her to like you."Aaro started giving me bites to eat, and although it surprised me, I let her. It was fucking adorable that she cared enough to feed me."She likes you already. She was straddling you, and now she’s feeding you!" Cara shouted inside my head.That kiss was amazing. And when Aaro started moving her fucking hips, I went insane. If Cara hadn’t stopped us, I don’t know what would have happened. Wh

    Aaro’s povBrand was cool. He reminded me of my dad’s wolf, Logan. He was as fast as him, too. How would it feel to run as a wolf? Would I be that fast?It was easier around Brand because he didn’t talk to me and I didn’t have to pretend so hard.Even when I was myself, I still had to pretend. I couldn’t let anyone know my real name or identity. It wasn’t easy. I so badly wanted to tell Brand about Logan. I wanted to tell the girl in the orphanage more about Ero. And when we discussed our names, I really wanted to tell Peter what Aaro fucking stood for.It bothered me how scared everyone was. It was supposed to be like this. In my dad’s pack, people weren’t scared of us. And although my grandpa Os could be a bit scary, people respected him more than they feared him.Then he shifted back, and although Storm looked a lot better, like a whole fuckload better, I went back to pretending. Pretending that he didn’t look fucking good, and I wondered what it would feel like to touch him. Preten

    Storm’s povI tried to get some work done, but my mind kept wondering about tonight. What would be a good date idea?"Let me meet her," Brand said."And then what, have a picknick? It’s fucking freezing outside.""Please?" Brand asked and I think it was the first time he said please to me."I’ll see what I can do, okay, buddy?"Dad had given me her tracker information, and I felt like a fucking stalker, tracking Aaro’s moves. She went from the hospital to the orphanages, to lunch somewhere, and then to one of the elders' houses.When it was around four, I just gave up on working and decided to pick up Aaro early. I'm sure she'd appreciate it; I couldn't imagine spending the entire day with Ruby.I went to the O'Hares' home and watched as Aaro spoke to a young boy. He must be one of the grandkids or great-grandkids of the O'Hares. Mister O'Hare was 104 years old and looked no older than 70.When the boy saw me, he bowed his head and seemed scared. It was such an obvious contrast between

    Aaro’s povStupid fucking nightmare. I used to have them when we were younger. I would dream about Marco taking us away. We were asleep when he took us, but we woke up before he brought us to the man who transported us to the school.Doctor Marco had always been so kind to us, but suddenly he was cold. He ignored our cries, he ignored me begging him to let my sister go. In the end, he threatened to hurt Elora if I didn’t help him calm her down.He showed me bones and said they belonged to a girl, and if I didn't help my sister out of her pajamas and make her shut the fuck up, he could turn my sister into a bag of bones too.For years, I wondered what he needed the bones and the pajamas for. I thought he might have pretended it was one of us who died, so my parents wouldn’t come looking for us. Or my parents were dead themselves; there must have been a reason why they didn't find us. Auntie Kat was too smart to not see through Marco’s plan, I was sure. She was the smartest person alive;
