Alpha Female Ciciane's POV againTwo weeks in my own pack and I have already established a daily routine.Every morning, I step out onto my balcony to greet my parents and exchange some casual banter about my daily concerns. My conversations typically revolve around garden plans and meal preparations for the day ahead, nothing too pressing or serious. After that, I take a healthy walk around the packhouse and inhale the crisp breeze.Although the scenery is stunning, I yearn for the familiar houses and small enterprises set up by members of my pack. I miss our gathering together with other packs at monthly events and celebrating when new mates find each other. Eclipse Howlers was a dynamic pack, we maintained friendly relationships with allies while remaining steadfast against enemies. Amira is still with me.Mostly at night, I hear her hearty laughs when she's talking to Yuval on the phone.I am overwhelmed with guilt b
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POV My heart refuses to believe what my brain has already registered.No, Harad would never do this to me, he swore he would only accept me as a mate. Besides, he's still looking for me in Crescent Moon, if that counts for anything. Could it be possible that Xanne had lied? Since we arrived at the Palace, she has changed drastically. The best friend I once knew, who would have gone to great lengths for my happiness, is no more. As the television news transitions to other stories, I stare at it without interest. Yet, Xanne's image still lingers on in my mind.Out of nowhere, a surge of acid seeps up from my stomach. Just in time, I reach the sink in the toilet and deposit the small amount of salad I managed to eat minutes ago. Once it is all out, I splash water on my face and rinse out my mouth before climbing up the stairs to my room. Xanne's revelation has dealt me a heavy blow, although I'm
Prince Harad's POV I hurry down the steps of the Jet, anxious to be back in the Crescent Moon packhouse. It's astounding how frequently I find myself in this pack, my stay here has surpassed even that of my time in the Kingdom.There's something about the Alpha and Beta that sparks suspicion. Actually, the entire pack's demeanor is inexplicably odd. No one dares to look me in the eye and it's not because I'm a Royal. I have a gut feeling that they're privy to information concealed from me and believe me, I'll lay my life on the line if it doesn't concern to Cissy. But in the meantime, I have already realized that my skittish mate is not here, I've scoured every inch of this territory, rifled each house and turned all stones here to look for her. Her scent is nowhere to be found here. Common sense tells me she has no reason to be here anyway. She harbors an intense hatred towards Crescent Moon and she has every valid justification for that. But a pecul
“Look, my dears. Your father is going to Crescent Moon again.”Cissy points to the sky while tenderly rubbing her swollen belly. She already knows when the Jet will fly over. Over the past few weeks, Harad has been landing in the pack with a certain regularity. As time passes, this pattern becomes increasingly frequent, it's almost as though he knows his pups are nearing their birth and could arrive at any given moment. The Alpha Female continues to watch the Jet until it descends and disappears behind the woods.With a deep breath, she stares into emptiness. She had completely isolated herself from the world in recent weeks. The TV doesn't fascinate her anymore, to prevent any upsetting news regarding Xanne and the Royals, she no longer turns it on. Meanwhile, it is known throughout the werewolf community that Xanne is about to give birth to the future Crown Prince, they all forgot about the second mate in this all. But Cissy has already resigned herself to losing Har
“Really, Cissy, you have to try harder,” Amira anxiously encouraged her friend.Half an hour has passed since the birth began, and despite excruciating contractions, the Alpha Female's pup makes no move to start the final descent. Amira wipes sweat from her tired friend's forehead who is diligently trying to regulate her breathing. “Please baby, don't make it difficult for your mother,” Cissy whispered as she caressed her stomach gently. “We really want to see you, hold and hug you tight while showering blessings onto you. Your mommy and auntie eagerly wait for the moment they can finally see you."The midwife is extremely anxious and makes every effort to stimulate the pup's motion. “Miss, where is the father?” she asked at one point. “I have experienced cases like this several times in my career. The pup just feels safe when its father is there during birth." Cissy and Amira stare at the woman in shock, they had not expected this.As t
Doron, the midwife, entrusts Oriya with her firstborn son for washing and attending to other postnatal affairs. Everything is already in place in an adjoining room, Amira and Cissy took care of that a long time ago. Now the delivery and everything around it can go smoothly.“Now it's time to help the next pup,” the nurse announced.Harad erupts in a frantic cry of terror. “Another pup?” he gasped in disbelief. “Are you suggesting we are having twins?” With an infectious grin spreading across her face, Doron settles back into her spot once more. A half hour later, the second son enters the world. Harad is filled with an inexplicable euphoria as he proudly cuts his newborn's umbilical cord. Overcome by emotion, he showers kisses on the little one, too emotional to utter a single word. Cissy and Amira have a chance to hold and adore this precious bundle before Oriya comes to r
Crown Prince Harad’s POVIn the mind link I receive the message that Xanne has given birth as well.In spite of feeling disappointed, I try to focus as my parents offer me congratulations and assure me that the eldest son has a striking resemblance to me. This confirms that I indeed had sex with Xanne, but by the Moon Goddess, it is something I cannot recall at all. At that time, my thoughts were always with Cissy, therefore, sleeping with someone else was impossible. But now that the proof has been provided, there's no way for me to back out of it.Damn! This comes at a terrible time. Cissy has just woken up and is patiently nursing our sons. It's such a heartwarming sight, I could look at them all day. She is the mate whom I love, we now have a fantastic family together. I want them with me for the rest of my life.But this news will break Cissy and disrupt our relationship again.The nerves are racing through my body, I can't bear to lose her again.
Crown Prince Harad’s POV Still Exiting the Jet, I hold my pup in one arm while Cissy cradles his brother to her shoulder.I wrap my other arm around my mate to show everyone watching where my devotion lies. She feels anxious, knowing that the time ahead won't be easy but I am committed to supporting her every step of the way. Our family deserves a place in the Palace, that is the Princes’ birthright. At the base of the stairs, a group has gathered. The journalists are positioned on one side and are fidgeting with excitement for me to get off the plane while directly in front stand the King and Queen with their eyes fixed on the two bundles in our arms. Mother bubbles over with elation as she eagerly counts down the moments until holding her grandsons close to her bosom. But Xanne is also present at the scene, holding our son in a vibrant blanket, his head openly visible to everyone. Cissy notices her too, I feel her beco
