Jake’s POV
Hunter lunged for Wayne, the sight of him touching our mate sent him into overdrive. I could see he was stitching her wound shut to help it heal but Hunter was blinded with too much rage and didn’t care for his reasons.
“Hunter NO” Angel shouted as she shoved him away blocking his path to Wayne.
Forcing the shift back into human form I grabbed a blanket from the floor and wrapped it around my bottom half. Walking over to Angel I glared at Wayne as I remembered he was present in the room while Nick was tortured, doing nothing to help him remaining in the shadows. As I kneeled in front of her Wayne stepped out of arms reach sensing the anger flowing from my alpha aura. Inspecting Angel’s wound I was surprised she hadn’t been killed. The incision must have been four inches deep, she was lucky as had it been an inch to the right it would have hi
Benson’s POVWe had been on the move for nearly two hours and were almost at the Royal Kingdom. The whole journey the mind link had been quiet, we didn’t want to be distracted incase we became ambushed. As we came to the last set of trees, we peered through to see a massive wall that looked as if it went on for miles. How we were supposed to get past that I had no clue but knowing Jake and William they would have had a solution. Behind the wall you could see a massive palace set further back almost in the center of the territory. Not to sound like a girl but it really did look like something out of a fairytale. From here it looked as if it had six towers each coming to a point on the roof, a flag with the royal symbol flying from each tower. Grand windows lined the white brick wall which faced us so I could only imagine what the other side and interior would look like. To the top of the palace were what looked like a
Rita’s POVAfter the shock of finding out I had a second chance mate had worn off I couldn’t be happier. Not in my wildest of dreams did I think that at my age I would ever get the chance at love again. Finding out that William was actually the Alpha King didn’t shock me as much as it should have, I had felt the power emitting from him but wasn’t able to place what it was. When I came clean and told him I wasn’t human like many believed he didn’t understand. The moment I shifted his eyes pretty much bulged out of his head. I was a silver wolf; we were a rare breed of wolf and created for one purpose. We were to protect gifted wolves with ties to the moon goddess, hence our name, Moon Protector.The moment I met Angel I knew exactly who she was, she was the daughter of Queen Vanessa and the grand-daughter of Selena. The day her mother died had haunted me, Selena had come to me and told m
Jake’s POV The second I heard Star yelp I felt a wound open on my back causing my heart sank into the pit of stomach, I could only pray to the goddess that the knife hadn’t been laced in poison. Getting to her as quick as I could Hunter gave me back control so I could shift and pull the knife from her back. I watched as her Stars back healed letting out a sigh of relief knowing it was only a silver knife nothing else. Suddenly, a silver wolf flew into the man that stabbed Star tearing his throat out before knocking his now limp body aside. I couldn’t believe my eyes; I knew silver wolves existed at one point in time, but they were thought to be extinct. “Moon Protector” Hunter told me, I bowed my head to it as a thankyou and a sign of respect. Star jumped back onto her paws and looked at the silver wolf before nuzzling into it causing me to let out a low growl. This wolf may be a M
Jason’s POV “He’s your dad?” Jake and Angel shouted in unison while looking utterly shocked. “Well would you look at that ha-ha. Your life does hold a purpose after all. Perhaps keeping that whore around was the right thing to do after all” I told Ariel. Ariel had been the product of a visit I made to an unmated she-wolf. I had met her when I was twenty-six and angry, I didn’t have a mate and I knew she hadn’t found hers either. I was aware she had been crushing on me since she became of age so I figured I may as well give her a go. Her name was Jules, she wasn’t the prettiest of she-wolves by any stretch. She had short dark brown hair and brown eyes, a very plain jane but she took my mind off Vanessa and everything else. Each time I had the urge to take Vanessa and make her choose me before she was officially marked by William, I turned and went to Jules instead. The day she told
Sid’s POVThe second Ariel’s rejection of our mate bond her lips, those perfect lips, I feel to the ground. Curling into the fetal position as the pain was intense, I had received numerous injuries during my life but this, this was worse than anything I had ever experienced before. Tan was whining in my head while trying to take control. He wanted nothing but to shift and chase after her demanding she take back the rejection.“How could she have the strength to run off, we are hurting she should be too” Tan whimpered.“I don’t know, I don’t think she has ever trusted anyone in her life judging by how her own father treated her. Maybe she built a wall surrounding herself to prevent her feeling pain” I told him.“That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard. This is all your fault had you stopped Star and Hunt
Williams POVAfter the way Sid spoke to Jake and Angel, he shifted and ran off leaving Jake furious. He ordered two of the pack trackers he bought with him to track him down and bring him back. I knew how he felt, I know how hard it was to cope with the pain after Vanessa died and being as his mate only rejected him, I knew he would be ok after a short period of time. I wasn’t sure why Ariel had rejected Sid though. I know she used her father now being dead as the reason, yet I couldn’t fathom why that mattered to her. By the way he spoke to her and the state her face was in whilst it healed from whatever beating she had endured, it was clear to everyone present that Jason held no love nor remorse towards her.Ariel looked to be the same age as Angel which meant she had to have been born well before Jason took over the Royal Kingdom. Not once during our ‘friendship’ did he revel that he had been se
Angel’s POV“OMG my eyes! That is something I will never be able to unsee” I tell Jake as I make gagging noises while we run away.“Babe its normal, their mates you know how the marking process works. Besides you have seen him naked when he shifts back from Maximus”“That different Jake. I turn around until he is covered. Believe me seeing your parent like that isn’t something you want to see” I tell him.“Like what? Naked or doing the sexy time” Jake said as he shook his hips whilst wiggling his eyebrows.“Both”“I have seen both of my parents naked, and when I was younger I walked in on them having sex at least three times. After the last time they locked the door. Anyway, you wouldn’t have seen anything you didn’t want to see if you h
Jake’s POV “F*ck” I muttered while shaking my hand out. “Where the hell did he come from? Did you see the size of his wolf?” Angel asked while checking my hand. “Babe please I’m fine. That f*cker was huge. I didn’t sense any alpha or other rank in him so how the f*ck he came to be that size is beyond me” I told her while looking for some rope. Angel mind-linked William while I secured the wolf with the help of Alpha Rick. He to was surprised when I told him that his wolf was bigger than Hunter. Even in human form the guy was large. Being an Alpha, having a larger build was in my DNA but this guy wherever he came from was slightly bigger than me and boy did he pack a punch. He had rendered Hunter unconscious making me force the shift back into human form. As Rick and I dragged his sorry arse to the interrogation room we heard banging from the next room.
Angels POV “If there’s anybody here this afternoon who’s feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy at the thought of what lies ahead, it’s probably because you’ve just married the groom” everyone began to laugh as Benson started his best man’s speech. “No seriously Angel I’m so glad you two found each other, I mean had you not come along we would have been stuck with a rude, bad tempered, bully of an Alpha and let’s face it no one wants one of them. You have honestly done what I didn’t think was possible. You tamed him and his wolf, made him an honest man and because you know how much you love him and me you will make sure I’m still breathing when I’m done” Benson literally had the guests along with Jake and I in stitches, my face and tummy hurt from all the laughing. “Angel is a good kind-hearted woman and as a Luna she’s done more for the pack than I ever thought possible. So having said that there’s no doubt she deserves a good husband so Jake thank your lucky stars she ma
Angels POV I got to sleep so easily last night that I would have thought I was as going to stay that way until my alarm sounded. How wrong was I. I couldn’t sleep for the life of me I was too anxious about what today was going to bring. I didn’t have cold feet I was worried something would go wrong. Looking at the clock I still had an hour before my alarm was due to ring, so I turned it off and ran myself a bubble bath. Ariel was still fast asleep in the next room, so I was ever so quiet as I moved around the lounge avoiding every squeaky floorboard I could remember. Just because I was wide awake didn’t mean she needed to be.
Jakes POV It wasn’t unknown knowledge that when a woman had a baby, they felt forgotten like their only role now was to be a mum like that’s all they were meant to be. I didn’t want that to be Angel. I wanted her to keep her identity to feel like she was still the same sexy woman I fell in love with because she was so much more than ‘just a mum’ and she deserved to know it. Every chance I had I would do something to show her just that. When Angel told me she was going to take the flowers to the chapel I planned the picnic. I knew Angel loved picnics so having researched the area I found the perfect spot; everything just fell into place after that. To say she was shocked was an understatement. She practically pounced on me. The weather was still chilly but regardless it was the perfect afternoon and I promised Angel that after the wedding we would make it a regular thing, we would have dates that were just the two of us and family dates.
Jakes POVAfter the confrontation with my cousin, I wanted nothing more than to get back on the road having now lost my appetite. I was seething with rage yet for once Hunter was calm and collected. He had always been the one to spur me on almost forcing me to choose the violent option, but this time he didn’t. He pleaded with me to remain calm, that Brad was going to get his that it was only a matter of time. The others however, refused to leave until they had eaten so listening to my wolf, I swallowed my pride and sat down. Once everyone had finished and an hour had passed by, we were finally back in the cars and moving.
Angels POV“Well, this dark haired beauty here is Athena she’s the youngest of the two and this little beauty is Vanessa” my face hurt like mad with the smile that sat on my face as Jake and I introduced our pups to my family over video link.“Oh my goddess, bless their little hearts they have got to be the prettiest little things I’ve ever seen” Rita whispered as she edged closer to the screen trying to get a better look at our gir
Angels POVMy heart was overwhelmed with the love I felt for my beautiful pups, never in my life did I imagine I could love anything this much. They were absolutely perfect they both had olive skin and blue eyes. The older pup had a few blonde ringlets on the top of her head while the younger pup had short jet-black hair matching her father. Jake was as besotted with them as me, when it became time for the nurse to do their post birth checks Jake didn’t want to put the pup down.Benson, Sid and Ariel had been in to see us and I’m pretty sure Ariel left broody as hell. They had asked us what names we had in mind but if I was being honest, I had only thought of one, Vanessa after my mum. The woman that gave birth to me and died protecting me. Jake chose the name for our younger pup, Athena the name of a Greek goddess. He said it was fitting for her due to the power of my own grandmother the moon goddess that resides in her
Angels POV “So, Luna, Alpha, the pups appear to be growing at an astonishing rate. The growth they have shown over the last two weeks is something I have never in all my years as a doctor seen before. If I hazard a guess, I would simply put it down to your goddess bloodline. Nevertheless, I’m pleased to say they are both completely healthy, so I assure you there is no need to worry. Are you wanting to know the genders of them or are you wanting it a surprise?” We we’re back for another check up with Dr Jones as Jake thought something was wrong when I almost doubled in size overnight. “We would however you aren’t to tell anyone. We hope you can understand that we want it to be a surprise for the pack” Jake responded using the slightest tone of an Alpha command. “Yes Alpha, well in that case congratulations your having twin girls” I was shocked to say the least, deep down I had
Jakes POV “Well, that was messy yet oddly satisfying, shame Benson missed it. I know Rocky would have enjoyed the show” Hunter was amused at how my idea for Wayne and the electrical current worked out as originally he had thought it would fail.“You ought to have more faith in me wolf. Told you he would talk… eventually. As for Benson goddess only know where he’s got to”“Shame he didn’t sing like a cannery sooner, a bit like Benson is probably doing with that witch. Still can’t believe his hand exploded, could have saved the omegas a mess to clean up” Hunter howled with laughter, we really were well matched.After disconnecting the machine from Wayne’s now fried body, I checked for his pulse. He was hanging on for dear life, could he not just give in already and save us the need for an ex
Jakes POV “Ahhhhhahahaaaa” Wayne’s screams filled the room as I made tiny cuts over his naked body before dabbing each one with an acid solution.“Who did you get information for and why” I asked again growing tired of not being given the answer to my questions.Three hours that’s how long we had been down here and with everything I had done to Wayne he remained shut lipped, well except for the screams. I had tried a dozen different techniques, yet nothing was working, for someone that seemed to have given up on life he certainly held his own. Whenever I normally interrogated anyone, they gave up everything they knew within an hour or two due to the ways in which I extracted it, but not this time. Having been mind-linked by Angel letting me know she would be back shortly, I decided I needed to up my game I wanted to be able to tell her it was over when she returned.
