Octavius- Is everyone assembled?
Garrett- Yes.
Octavius- Good.
I grin as I tuck Melanie's head under my arm. I am seconds away from presenting our foe's head to my entire pack, and I have never been giddier. I am so eager for everyone to look at me with respect I can practically taste it.
After this, there should be no more doubt or worry about our future. The families who are bunking with other pack members can return home. I will keep the additional homes coming in just in case we need them, but this is it. This is the beginning of peace. I don't have to worry about anything except being a regular Alpha. I could even split the packs back up. There is no need for everyone to live under my thumb.
I throw open the side door to the auditorium, and every head turns towards me. I smile as pure excitement fi

OCTAVIUS POV I exhale loudly as I stand on the edge of my mother's realm. I am not sure if the barrier will give way and allow me in, but I have to try. I have to tell them that my job is done. I didn't need backup or years of planning. I finished off our enemy easily, and I want some recognition. I want a mate. I move forward, and unlike many times before, my foot steps right into my mother's realm. I breathe a sigh of relief before marching across the almost empty field. I keep my back straight and my eyes forward. I have come here for a purpose. I don't want to think about my emotional breakdown last night, and I don't want to seem like it is still affecting me. I want them both to see me as a King. I knock on my mother's door and wait. They don't get any visitors besides me, so I know they are aware it's me knocking. It takes a few minutes but finally, the door

SARA POV (YEAR 2077, 56 YRS LATER) "Now he is a fine chunk of meat. I can see why all the girls want him," the older waitress says as she appears next to me. I quickly close my worn book. My cheeks tint a little, and I give her a small smile. "I still can't believe they are real even though my friend's granddaughter is mated to one of them," she says while refilling my mug with fresh coffee. I nod, still feeling slightly embarrassed, and she chuckles. "Of course, you grew up in a world that included them. My generation were the ones who got the shock of a lifetime," she says while observing me with a steady gaze. I offer her another smile before breaking my silence."Yeah. I find their history very interesting. It's what I am currently studying in s

AMBER POV "Breath, mouse. There is nothing else you can do," Lucian says as he comes up from behind and hugs me. I shake my head back and forth as I fight back the tears. Every night is the same. I make a few new werewolves, I pair some mates, and then I rewatch how Octavius's day went on my new portal bowl that Anniki made me. And every night, I cry as I watch my son grow more and more bitter towards the world. "I don't think he will find this one either, Lucian. I don't know what to do. His wolf should be feeling the pull. I paired them when she turned eighteen. I fear he is ignoring it just like he did last time. I even put this one right outside their territory. All he has to do is leave his office," I say before spinning around and burying my face in my mate's chest. "Maybe it would be easier for hi

OCTAVIUS POV The pen clatters as I drop it on my desk again. I have nothing left to do tonight. I have finished all the paperwork for today, and if I start tomorrow's paperwork, I will have less to do tomorrow. I will be even more bored.Beerus- We could hunt. The meat in the kitchen is always the same. Cold...Octavius- I don't want to, B. Besides, you forget our territory isn't wild terrain anymore. It is filled to the brim with homes for our members.Beerus- why don't you want to? Why are you forcing us to live like this?I roll my eyes at the old question.Octavius- I will not repeat myself. This is our life. I have accepted it. Now you need to as well. We were meant to be King. We were not meant for love or family.Beerus- That's bullshit, Octavius. I know you feel it, just like before. We have a

Sara POV Have you ever had a jaw-dropping moment in public? Like a full-on mouth falls open, and you stare at the thing that has made you lose all control for an undisclosed amount of time. Well, I have. "...So we must ask that everyone be on their best behavior," Professor Taylor finishes acting like he didn't just shock the entire class with his announcement. My brain reloads as he sits down at his desk, and my hand shoots into the air. "Yes," he asks, and I clear my throat nervously. "So King Octavius will be coming here...to this college...today," I ask, and a few girls snicker at me. The professor literally just said the King, along with a few of the other higher-ups, would

SARA POV Oh my God! Oh my God. It's him. It's really him.At least, I think it's him. In his pictures, he always looks so stoic, but right now, he seems like he is walking on clouds.He can't be this excited to tour human colleges, can he? Other humans have documented him as being nothing but cold when interviewed. But there is no denying that face. This man is Octavius Bishop. Maybe he values education, and that's why he looks delighted to be here. His eyes scan the room, and when they land on me, he smiles, like really smiles. His eyes light up, and I swear my heart misses a few beats. He is the sexiest man I have ever seen, and he is smiling at me. Good thing I put on mascara this morning."Hello, I was told this is a class that studies supernaturals," he says as he walks towards Professor Taylor with his hand outstretched.

OCTAVIUS POV My heartbeat races as my mate finally stops screaming. For the longest time, Jannah being attacked by a bear was the scariest moment of my life, but now there is a new scariest moment. My mate screaming out in pain because of something I did will haunt me for the rest of my unnaturally long life. Feeling as if she might die from that pain will star in every one of my nightmares. As I study her appearance, I feel worse. Her once slick blackish-brown hair is now frizzy and messy. Her beautiful olive skin has a thin layer of sweat, and her beautiful almond brown eyes look petrified. It makes me sick to my stomach to know I did all that with one little sentence."Sara, are you okay," Jannah asks as she offers Sara her hand. Sara takes one look at the friendly g

Sara POV I look over my shoulder yet again as I walk home. A deep shiver runs down my spine, and I rub my arm to comfort myself. Ever since I ran from King Octavius and his friends, I have felt nervous. I haven't even been back to class because I am afraid they will come back to hurt me. The only reason I am outside my apartment now is because Floki was out of food. Luckily for me, I am almost home. I pull my key card from my pocket as I leave the elevator, only to freeze midstep when I see someone standing in the hall right by my door. My heartbeat doubles for a second, and my breathing becomes ragged before I realize it is just my lowlife father standing in front of my door. "What do you want, dad," I ask after I calm down, and he spins around to face me, looking a little crazy. "Sara, where have you been? W

SARA PO "Octavius, I really am fine. We can't control who your mom pairs," I whisper, and Tav growls. "I can feel your anger and your pain, Sara. My mother has knowingly and purposefully forced the person who killed your mother into your life. I will not stand for that," Tav snaps, and my eyes drop away from his face as we enter the big house. I feel so much rage towards Marina about what she did, but there are other feelings too. Feelings that make me feel ashamed because she killed my mother and framed my father. But Marina is a victim too... "Can you get my father out," I whisper, and Octavius looks down at me. "Yes. I will do that first thing tomorrow," he replied instantly, and I nod. "Then that's all that needs to be done. Tell him to disappear. I don't want to see him. I just don't want him going to prison for something he didn't do," I whisper, and Octavius places me on the bed we now share. His blue eyes look me over worriedly, and I give him a small smile bef

LIAM POV Mom is practically jogging as we head towards the stream the pack used to retrieve our Luna. Her heartbeat is running wild, and I know she is in pain, but I can't bring myself to comfort her. I don't know what to say.Thomas and I didn't grow up together. He was the eldest out of us and a good fifty, some odd years older than me. We were family but not friends. I loved him, but not like mom and dad loved him. I have no idea how to feel about losing my brother. I haven't ever lost anyone before. "It's okay, Brittany. I smell him," Alpha says to calm mom down, and I sniff the air. My siblings all do the same as me, and mom sighs out in relief.Dad's familiar scent is mixed with two others, so it's hard to find in the faint breeze, but after a few moments, I pinpoint him, and so do my siblings. Kelsey shoots me a sad glance, and I nod to signal I smell it too.One of the scents mixed with dad is definitely Thomas, but his smell is all wrong. His typical cedar smell is mix

OCTAVIUS POV My irritation at being disturbed disappears as my eyes lock with Brittany's pain-filled face. Behind her stands her and Garrett's remaining pups, making me feel even worse. "Please! I can't lose him too. I feel him in my heart, Alpha. He is tearing himself apart. He needs us, please," Brittany begs, and my head actually falls in shame. I should have drug him home, but I wanted to give him space to grieve. I never even considered how painful that would be for Garrett's family. I mainly care only about him. But he is tied to his mate as I am tied to mine now. "I don't know if the siren is still close by. We can try, but I think I will have to involve my mother in this to get him back," I say as my eyes drift back up to hers. She nods and immediately begins to head towards the exit. I glance back at Sara to find she has thrown on a comfy outfit. She smiles at me as she heads my way and grabs my hand. "Let's go get him," She whispers, and I smile. My mate feels

MARINA POV Garrett growls viciously as I finally step out of the bushes I have been hiding in, and I freeze. One wrong move, and I know the grieving wolf will rip me in half, but for some reason, I don't want to leave him. His pain is calling to me. "I have smelled you since you showed back up, fish. Why can't you let me mourn in peace," Garrett snarls without looking away from his child's burnt corpse. I sigh and sink down to my knees. I lick my lips nervously as I try to shift through the jumbled thoughts in my brain. Flashes from my own pain fill my mind and I close my eyes. "Grieving alone or with company doesn't matter. It still hurts," I whisper back after a few seconds as I reopen my eyes. The heartbroken wolf actually looks at me. His bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks hit my heart hard. I try to keep the sympathy and pity out of my eyes, but I know he can see it. "I don't know how to grieve. Lucian is the last person I grieved for. I was only a pup then

SARA POV RATED R MATURE Octavius's eyes darken as we smile at each other, and his head moves towards mine as mine moves towards his. Our lips connect like magnets, and we both begin to devour each other. My fear explodes into passion, and I lose myself in the sensual feel of his lips on mine. Our bond rages and Octavius's hands begin to explore my body. I moan into his mouth as his thumb presses my nipple, and he growls deep. "I need you, Sara. Please be mine for all eternity. Let me mark you and seal your life to mine. I want you with me always," Octavius mumbles against my lips, and my heart rate triples with excitement. "Yes! Yes, make me yours, Tav," I say as I draw back and stare into his pale eyes. He growls loudly and flips us around on the bed. My hair flairs out around me as my back lands on the mattress, and I stare up at the dirty God that I love with all my heart. "I fucking love you! I am so happy I never met my first mate, Sara. You are my everything! I wo

SARA POV "Are you okay," Marina whispers as we travel through the water in a bubble she manipulated with a song. I glance at her before looking back at the beautiful magic all around me. I don't know what to feel towards the creature that has caused me so much heartache. Even talking to her makes me feel uncomfortable now, knowing what I know. "Just terrific," I mumble, and Marina sighs a little before beginning to sing a new song. We travel for a few more moments, and the bubble starts to rise. When the bubble is completely out of the water, it gradually slows to a stop and pops. I grin at the waiting wolves when I spot Jannah's relieved face. "I understand how you must feel, but please believe me when I say that I never meant you any ill will. I was doing everything in my power to save a sister I thought to be alive. Your mother's life was a price I chose to pay for both you and my sister. I wish I could bring her back for you, and I am so sorry I believed Dagahra. I

OCTAVIUS POV Now that Sara is safe, I need to get to Garrett. He is being careless with his attacks, and several warriors have already alerted me to his vulnerability. If I don't get to his side soon, we will also lose him, which is something I can not handle. Sara, Jannah, and Garrett are essential to my life.Tav- Garrett, where are you? Nothing comes through my link, so I switch to plan B. I take deep sniffs of the air. I shift through the layers of smoke and blood until I pinpoint my cousin's scent. Beerus growls as we both lock onto the scents around him as well. My cousin is surrounded! I howl as I shift into my four-legged form. Adrenaline pumps through my blood, and I practically fly through the trees and brush to reach him in time. Warriors flank me as I run, but they aren't fast enough to keep up. Within moments I find my beta singed and fighting a yellowish-orange beast with long talons. Instead of helping him with his opponent, I attack the small blue dragon waiting

SARA POV Dagahra grins evilly, and pure panic sets in. This is it. I am going to get burnt to a crisp just like Marina's family. At least my death will be fast. But I don't want to die. There is so much I want to do in my life that I won't be able to. I will never be able to mate with Octavius. I will never get to have sex with the man I love. I never even got to tell my father I know it wasn't him. I never got to graduate or have children. My life was so short. "There's no need for her now," Dagahra says, and his mouth begins to open. I squeeze my eyes close and brace for the inevitable pain, but it doesn't come. Instead, I hear a growl and then a high-pitched scream. My eyes fly open, and I see Octavius punch the green dragon that showed up only a couple of minutes ago. She falls to the ground dead, and I shift my eyes to my would-be murderer. I watch as Dagahra stares at my mate with a mixed expression of fear and shock. I want to laugh and point at him, but I am still to

OCTAVIUS POV Pain is shooting up my back, relentlessly as I take off with my pack on my heels. I never imagined what it would truly be like to feel her pain and not be able to do anything about it. It is terrifying. Beerus and I are going crazy. I am so angry at Marina. I want to shred her, but the blinding fear in my gut is too much to see past. Anything that gets me to Sara faster can live. At least for a little while longer. Garrett- Do you think she is being truthful? This could be a trap. You have the majority of the pack's warriors running into this, and we are blind. We don't know their numbers or their strategy. Octavius- It doesn't matter. I will kill them all. You can turn around for all I care. My mate is being hurt! Garrett-...Are you feeling something? Octavius- Yes. All over my back. Garrett- Fuck. Octavius- It's the only reason the siren is still breathing. Garrett- Got it. Beerus growls as Garrett's voice fades. He doesn't like our beta acting as if runni
