Jake’s POV
“Erm ok… guys let’s take this somewhere more private shall we. William, can you let her go just for a second” I tried to keep my voice full of authority and void of any fear I held at telling him to release his ‘mate’.
Watching as their eyes turned back to their original colour, I let go of a breath I didn’t know I had been holding while William finally released his grip letting Rita go. A part of me worried that telling him what to do, and with his mate of all people would have erupted into a brawl. Had it been any other Alpha it most likely would have.
“Yes Alpha… thankyou” Rita responded her face turning red whilst straightening her dress.
As we got to my office I ushered in William, Rita and Angel before shutting the door.
“Mrs. Roberts, I extend my utmost ap
Jake’s POV“BENSON…. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but we must make sure our border security is airtight. BENSON! Are you even f**king listening” I looked at Benson who looked a million miles away.Walking over to the chair he sat on I shoved him off only to catch him by the collar of his shirt and throwing him against the wall. The moment his back hit the wall I could hear the wind leave his lungs before he stood himself up straight.&nb
Jakes POVThe moment Angel and I accepted each other in front of the pack I was hit by a sudden surge of energy. I didn’t know how to explain it, but I felt different. Stronger in every way. Elder Toms jaw dropped as he looked at me making me worry something had gone wrong.“Your eyes… they are glowing red” Angel whispered.“It’s our connection to the royal bloodline syncing with our own DNA. Look at the way William’s eyes glow red when he shifts into Maximus. They stay red until William regains control, we will be the same now I can feel it… the strength, the power” Hunter says calmly, at least one of us knew what the hell was happening.Looking out over the pack I could hear their hushed mumbles before those in wolf form looked to the moon and began to howl. Their eyes were also glowing only they were all brig
Wayne’s POV“Alpha it’s done” I mind linked Jason to let him know I had done what he asked.“Good. Did they find her?”“Yes Alpha. The pack Beta found her while on patrol, he must have informed his Alpha as he and the Princess arrived shortly after”“Good work Wayne, now whatever plan they had conducted to overthrow me will be thrown off, hurry up and get back before your scent returns. You know what will happen if you decide to stay and divulge any information to them”“Yes, Alpha I’m on my way”The second I felt Jason end the mind link I sat on the ground and cradled my head between my knees. Marie had been good to me before Jason ran them out after ‘killing’ William. I know it wasn’t me personally that killed her,
Nick’s POVWhy did I have to intervene? Why couldn’t I have just ignored them and walked away? So many things were going through my head and not one of them were good. I was going out of my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Marie begging for her life, begging not to be violated and each time I woke up I hoped it had been a dream, yet I knew it wasn’t. I don’t know how many hours it’s been since that bastard took my wife’s life destroying me in the process, but it felt like days. Jason’s Beta, Roger came by earlier and took Marie’s body away, she had been left cuffed to her chair for me to look at in the hopes I too would beg for my life. As broken as I was there was no way in hell, I was giving him that satisfaction. I was snapped out of my thoughts as the door opened and the bright ceiling lights were turned on, being as there were no windows in this room, I had no idea wha
Jake’s POVHunter 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
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.
