Alpha Prince Orion pov It’s been a month since we were at the midnight pack , the crimes against the pack members are endless . The higher ranking members have been kept in the royal prison until the investigation has been completed . Most of the females we found in the building behind the packhouse have been temporarily housed in the royal pack . The timing of all this couldn't have come at a more stressful time with the missing teens still missing . The only upside is there has been no new kidnapping in the past six weeks . We know that all missing teens are still alive as their pack links to their Alpha and parents have not snapped yet so keeps hopes high . We are still looking but at the moment with everything else going on our resources are stretched to the limits . Haggen and Lilith have been holding stuff together over at the midnight pack , sorting out their books and making sure that the repairs to the pack are underway and hopefully the people can start to heal from the
Alpha Prince Orion pov My father looks pale. I see him wince from time to time . My mother sits by his side and holds his hand on top of the table . I see the guilt in my fathers eyes , he can't look at Leonor . He refuses Fallon's offer to use her powers to help , he looks so frail the light from his eyes is starting to dull . I watch as he waves his hand at my sister and tells her to stop fussing and enjoy her dinner . Leonor is sitting next to me , I can feel she is nervous through our bond . Mum turns to my mate “ Leonor , I have heard wonderful things about you from all who have met you . And I must say you are stunningly beautiful . Not to forget the most important thing , you are a warrior and a leader “ my mother lifts her glass and toasts to the next queen , may she continue as she's started . I can't quite understand but there was something underlying in her toast , and i don't like it . Onix is growling in my head and he has never done that towards my mother before .
Leonor pov It has been almost two months since Orion and I met , I have been in his pack for almost seven weeks . I started to train with the elite , that's what would normally be known as the kings guard . There are two other females training with the elite apart from me . Fallon and Lil have started training much to Lil’s disgust , Fallon however seems to be loving it and her confidence is really starting to grow . The coronation and my Luna ceremony is booked for three days time , things have been quiet and although there have been no more abductions there has still been non stop searches for the missing teens . They are still considered missing as their link to their packs have never been felt to have broken . Don't get me wrong, not everyone has been so welcoming , as expected you have the bitchy gang like that girl Hallie . I try my hardest to steer clear of them not as I am worried but more so I don't do something that would make me look bad in the eyes of Orion's people
Cicero pov Looking down at the whore who is sucking my dick I feel nothing but disgust . Hearing that Leonor has marked that stupid boy wolf Orion , making her my female, I have now turned to taking her and little princess Fallon and keeping them for myself . Having toys and ruining the royal pack would still be fun . Getting fed up with this whore I bat her away with my hands telling her to leave , as the doors shut i get up and pour myself another drink . After I drink the gold liquid down in one I feel so frustrated I throw the glass at the wall above the fire . Since watching Leonor fight i can't seem to enjoy any of my whores , she was just mesmerising and the way she could take down men twice her size . I won't lie, I want to see her wolf actually scrap that I need to see her . The blood lust I could see in her gold eyes called to the darkness when I released it , they would be drawn to her once she was locked onto her target . She was embracing the darkness , I watched
Alpha prince Orion pov Something felt off , almost like the calm before the storm . The teens were still alive but still missing , no more had been taken . Fallon had been strange lately , distant almost . Something was bothering her but knowing my sister she would tell me when she was ready so i didn't push the point with her . Haggen and Red were due back tonight; they had been to Red’s coven to visit her grandma . My mother was still acting off but I just refused to allow Leonor to be left on her own with her . At times I was starting to feel like everything was getting too much for me , I can't remember the last time I felt relaxed . There was so much going on and threats coming from every angle . My mother won't leave my fathers side. My sister keeps trying to get him on his own . If anything was truly up with our mother he would know . The truth is we can't sense her wolf , Onix has tried on more than one occasion . There is a soft knock on my office door drawing me from
Alpha Prince Orion Watching my mate arrive in the main dining hall , my heart swells with love and pride. She is just stunning and oh goddess she's sexy . “ For goddess sake Orion , you know your slavering, '' Lex says as he snickers while he rips into a bit of bread . I shoot him a look basically telling him to shut up , he just shakes his head but stands as the women get to the table . Watching Lex pull out Fallon's chair and give her a warm smile , I turn to hold the chair out when I notice my mate and Red exchange a look then look back at Lex and Fallon . Something is up. I link Haggen and ask if he saw the exchange between them. If he knows what's going on he just looks at me and shrugs at me . There is definitely something that all the females seem to know . “ Orion , baby we are going to head into the city tomorrow to look for something for the coronation and Luna ceremony “ Leonor says as she starts eating . I find my wolf growling so I put my fork down and pinch the br
Leonor pov I knew I was being unreasonable but I had looked after myself for a long time now . Lil kept asking if something was wrong as I was quiet and Fallon looked like she was lost in her own thoughts . Maybe this trip was silly with the possibility of a threat to both Fallon and I , but I just needed time to think, time to breathe . The royal pack is beautiful and has everything you might need but the neutral city has been my home , my comfort and safe place . I miss old Sam and Murren , things were just going too fast . Crossing the border I felt it the shield that protected the pack , Lil had a frown on her face and Fallon was looking at me . The moment the shield was gone I felt it , it was just faint but I knew he was watching . But the truth was i was fucking sick of this shit and was ready for it to be over . I have repeatedly offered to use me as bait to draw the fucker out , but of course everyone thought that was a wrong idea . The thing was I felt no threat from
Lilith pov My heart is sinking as I try to keep the shield up over us but they are strong . I know my best friend and I know she will not run or put others in danger . I am chanting as fast as I can but I can feel my magic draining my life source . As soon as Len steps out I stop. Fallon hands me a wet wipe from her bag . “ Your nose and eyes are bleeding , are you ok?” I smile my thanks and clean my face . I feel weak at this point and need to think on the spot. As I look at Fallon she is struggling to deal with it. Her normal golden skin looks pale and her hands are shaking . “ Fallon , he will take you both . I need a small amount of your blood so i can track you so we can always know where to find you ok “ she nods then asks about Len . letting her know i already have Len’s she allows me to take it . I can hear Len trying to keep Fallon out of it and I smile , she really is born to be a queen . Looking at my only other friend I pray to the moon goddess and my goddess to keep t
Lilith pov SItting looking at the body of Sasha I can feel the rage starting to build within me . This was a declaration of war . If someone's want for power is so great it has them taking innocent lives . Sasha was eighteen, she had only just started her training. She had lost her mother to cancer a few years ago. She lived in one of the rooms in the common house. She was a pleasant young girl, always happy to help. Yet as I stare at the haunted expression, the fear on her face. I feel like I have failed her, not only her but all these women. They look to me for guidance but seriously i have no fucking idea what to do, how to go forward. I can feel Haggens anger coming down the mate bond not only anger but fear for me. He is here for me and I know he needs to go back soon but his duty to the pack and his love for me is tearing him in two. The darker side of me is sitting just under the surface wanting to rip this whole world apart. I know I can't, I know I have a duty of care to
Zara povThat little bitch wants to think she can look down on me , she has no idea of my power . Who does she think she is ? and my darling sister just allows her to talk to me as she wants. Well, they have no idea what I am capable of and who I know . Leaving her office with Telia on my heels, I was so furious I didn't see the girl walking towards me with a basket full of what looked like herbs until we collided . “Watch what you are doing you stupid girl” I growled at her as she landed on the ground . “Sorry I was on my way to see the priestess,” she stutters . The Priestess , the fucking Priestess is this what she has been asked to be called . I do not think so. I think to myself as the girl gathers the content of the basket that had spilled out over . As I watch her scrambling around picking it up from the ground my temper spikes and I step on the girl's hand . As I step harder I hear the bones break as she squeals , Telia looks around with wide eyes. “Mama , what if someon
Lilith pov I hardly slept. The spirits are not happy and unfortunately since i took the job it's me they let know of their displeased moods . The minute I took the position I was bound by their rules , except only those who have been or are a high priestess will know we are forbidden to talk about our bounds and the rules we are bound by . This is something Zara will never understand , the powers I now hold are vast and extremely draining on your own reserve . Telia isn't strong enough and there is too much darkness in Zara for her to be given the responsibility , the spirits would never allow it . I have been trying to work through some paperwork to do with one of the other covens when my office door was opened and in waltzed Zara and Telia. “Ah Lilith , you are here” Zara says as she makes herself at home in my office . “Yes I am here in my own office” I say back dripping it in sarcasm . “Now now little LIl remember your manners when talking to someone older” She says, narrowi
Lilith pov My patience is wearing thin with this bitch , being now bound by the laws of our goddess means I can't just get rid of her . Sometimes I wonder what the point is in dealing with this shit , no wonder my Grandma looked exhausted when I was a child . What no one understands is the laws I need to uphold and stand by . It's not quite as easy as just taking the title like most think it is , I am bound and that alone is tiring . Haggens anger at her outbreak of threats and he is justified in so but honestly i just want to sleep and get lost in my mate . Standing from the table I thank Almara for my soup , give her a kiss on the cheek and go to my Grandma “I am going to have a nap , i am exhausted” She cups my cheek in her warm hand , looking at me with her green eyes much the same as mine . There are a lot of emotions floating in her eyes , the strongest being concern . I know she feels guilty for bringing Zara and Telia's wrath upon me . I place my hand over hers enjoying
Lilith pov A week is never enough but at least Haggen will be with me for a week or so . I can feel myself dragging my feet as we pack the car to leave saying goodbye was harder this time now the twins have arrived . I wish to spend some time with Len and Fallon , sometimes a girl just needs her sisters . Unfortunately last night I had a call from Almara to let me know that Zara and Telia had been openly trying to recruit supporters from my own coven as soon as I left . That means they must have been informed I had left , so that is a whole other issue . I am already fed up with my position. I would quite happily give it up but my Grandma has had her heart set on me guiding the covens into a united front . As our car leaves the packlands my heart hardens as I need to get myself back into the role I hate the most . “Hey baby , are you ok ?” Haggen asks as he leans over and squeezes my leg . Drawing me out my thoughts , taking a big sigh, I turn to him . “I have a bad feeling a
Lilith pov I hate that I had to leave again , especially since Len is pregnant but I need to work through the shit with the covens . The backlash since I became high priestess has gotten worse , in fact there is talk of them turning against me . If it was just me I wouldn't care but I have Haggen and the pack to worry about . Four covens I oversee , each coven has their own set of rules but they also have the rules of the higher power . I already know who is leading the unease against me , she feels she should have been given the position of high priestess instead of me . The truth is my Grandma has been training me for this since I was a child . She always said my powers were greater as a child than even hers . My mother passed away when I was child and I never knew my father. Grandma always said he was worthless and never deserved me . Being brought up by the most powerful witch in our region was something most witches would love . Our coven is the northern coven where I gr
[Epilogue part 2] 9 years later Alpha Prince Saint pov My head is banging as I sit and listen to my father lecture me on drinking too much . He wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain to him , my parents' relationship is the strongest I have ever seen . Rubbing my temple , I have been drowning out his consistent talking until her name was mentioned . Bellatrix , the only female i have ever loved , but i fucked it up . Six months ago I broke her heart and every day I have hated myself for it . I can't remember how or why it happened , I have never ever looked at another female ever . For some reason I ended up so drunk I can't even remember getting back to the packhouse, never mind the female who was lying naked next to me . Six months I have tried to piece together that night but the only thing that ever is there is the look on Bellatrix’s face the morning she stood in the doorway to my room with coffee in hand like she did every other morning . The look on her beauti

Leonor pov We are all waiting outside the delivery room for the birth of the future Gamma to happen , it's been almost two hours . I have never seen Lex looking so stressed out, poor guy . I have just finished checking on the twins when the first screeches of a new life entering this world reach our ears . Lex bursts through the door looking rather dishevelled and flushed “ It’s a boy , we have a son .” We all cheer before he goes back in the room to his mate and son . I feel Orion’s big strong arms wrap around me from behind , he kisses my temple . “ Well, it looks like Saint now has his Gamma .” Orion says with a proud look on his face . After another half hour we are allowed in to visit Fallon and her new baby son . Fallon as always is sitting up looking like she hasn't just given birth , the look of pure love on her face as she gazes at her new pup .
