“Redhead?” Evan asks and turning his head he starts to search for Alexander because he was the one who was mindlinking him. And when he found him on a balcony upstairs the venue, man, his heart stopped as Alexander was looking intently at the attraction of the evening. At the woman Evan was attracted to the core of his heart.“The one you were dancing earlier” Alex says and knowing exactly who Alex was asking about, Evan’s mind went blank.Is Alexander Stepanek interested in Natalie? He didn’t even want to talk with her a few days earlier and now he is stalking her and Evan could see in his eyes the need to have her. ALexander wants Natalie?Why ? And how the hell something like this is possible, because all his life Alexander looked for the girl who saved his life when he was ten. The only woman in his mind and in his heart was that little girl with blue eyes and strawberry blonde..hair…shit! A redhead!“Is Natalie the woman Alex is looking for?” he asked himself and as soon this tro
“But, I don’t want to make your Luna get angry with me again,” Lexie said, blinking her lashes at Adam and causing his blood pressure to increase in the next second.“She will do nothing!” Adam said in a commanding voice, cursing Natalie in his mind for being so disobedient with him. A wife should be submitted to her husband. Since when did Natalie start to act this way causing him troubles?“But, you know what she allowed to happen to the dress shop and she enjoyed the moment. If she sees me here she will mock me!” and Lexie came closer to Adam making him feel proud by the fact that he is the man who is defending his mate no matter what.“No, that is not the case anymore. Look at you!” he said, watching the way she looks. “This dress suits you and does justice to you. You look beautiful and innocent wearing it” and if he could he would pull her in his arms and kiss her but he knows that everyone will see that and will judge him. And most of all if Natalie shows up she will cause a sc
Natalie’s POV.“What the hell are you doing?” Adam growled from behind, and that made me turn around and look at him in shock. Didn’t he leave with Lexie to take her to the hospital?“I asked you something!” he growled at me and gave me a hard look like he would strangle me right now, because he must know for sure that I was investigating Lexie’s background by talking with this alpha.But you know what? I don’t care about his opinion. It is the most normal thing I could do , to find what Lexie is hiding, so wrapping my arms under my chest I look into his eyes, and for the first time you could say that he really saw me, because his gaze becomes unfocused and he looks at my dress and at my make-up and he is even more furious right now.“Are you finished?” I simply ask him, avoiding to answer him, because I don't deserve to be treated like that.“You are leaving” he commands me, and he sneaks a new peek at me, but he motioned to me to move as if he didn’t see how sexy I am.“Pardon me?”
Natalie returned to her room, passing her pack members and walking like a ghost. She couldn’t hear what people were asking her. Some of them even touched her arm, asking her if she was fine, but she ignored everyone and went directly to her room.All she wanted was to be alone. To make all the suffering gone and be happy again, just the way she was before her life to make an upside down turn and wake up in this mess.She closed the door behind her , with that key, so she would be sure that no one would disturb her because she already knows that Adam will not come again in her bedroom. She will be alone.After the way he acted he will not look for her for sure. HIs mind was full of Lexie not with his faithful wife. And thinking about this she wiped away her tears and lifted her gaze, watching her image in the mirror.Her face is tired, and her make-up was all over her face, because her tiers ruined it.“What the hell am I doing here?” she asked.“I am not happy. I hate every single sec
Natalie’s POV.“I can’t believe that you brought me here!” Judy said, looking at me as if something like this would be impossible. Is not impossible , I love shopping.“You don't,” Kelly laughs in my mind.“Well , I don’t but there is nothing wrong with that. I am just careful when it comes to pack ‘s money.” and this is what I tell myself every time I like something. Every single time I look at the price and that is what makes me decide if I will buy it or not.“I need a change, Judy” I say and start to look at those beautiful dresses that are in the shop.“Well…girl…this change suits me, not you” and giving me straight look she asks:“What happened last night?”Of course, she would ask that. She is my beta female, my best friend and she knows me better than anyone.“A lot of thighs , actually.” I say in a whisper, and I take a beautiful dress from the shelf. And that’s it!Judy takes the dress from my hands and points to it.“I tried to convince you to wear something like this for
Author’s POV.Things went smoothly in the next few days, maybe because Adam was a little bit ashamed to face Natalie and encouraged by Phillips' remark he hid himself in the imminent need that the bond mate was creating and started to look more obviously for Lexie. But Natalie too ignored him and did everything in her power to stay away from him, doing her job as Luna and nothing more. In the end the pack was not guilty for Adam’s stupidity, at least not at this moment.And if there is something she learnt from her previous life is that Adam’s heart most probably will never change but she could change the perception of the pack about her.She was a tough Luna, always working hard and pressing them to be strong. BUt they turned against her in her last moments and supported Lexie. Why? Because in her previous life, Lexie was making goo-goo eyes to everyone like a pathetic candy woman while she was struggling for them and forcing them to become their best version. Of course they loved t
Adam just looked at the screen and a lot of questions appeared in his mind.What the hell happened here? This should have been a simple speech in the backyard of the new school, since when this was about TV interviews, news shows, cameras and propelling Natalie as if she was the empress of the world?“Man” Phillip said, coming closer , because at the middle of Natalie’s speech he came in the living room too. “She did an outstanding work there and people loved her”She did it, no one says she didn’t, but since when is she so eager to take credit for her job?And Adam’s heart tightened.She was alwaying supporting him, and giving him the credit for her good work, making him look good in front of everyone and now? She didn’t even mention his name, for the goddess’s sake? Why did she change? and he continued to stare at the goddess who was talking about her new plans, not his or theirs, her plans to make the werewolves' world great again.“She should run for president!” Judy said coming i
“Alexander Stepanek!” Natalie said laughing hard “What did you smoke this morning?”He made her smile. In all the madness she lived, someone made her laugh heartily.“I don’t smoke” Alex says and pointing to his perfect body continues “This body that makes you unfocused is healthy. If you want you can check on it”And hearing him Natalie rolled her eyes.He is like a god who came on Earth, that’s true, but to check on him? What a nerve on this guy! Who does he think he is? The most wanted bachelor in the Universe?“Did you just roll your eyes at me, Natalie?” Alex asks and squints his eyes at her as if that is something unbearable.“Oh,no!” Natalie exclaimed , placing a hand over her mouth “Did I just roll my eyes aloud?” and her reaction made Alex laugh too. “Forgive me good sir, it must be from the air I breathe. It smells like…scoundrel!”And hearing her Alex laughed even harder.“You are something else, Natalie Hawkins. I marvel about how stupid your husband is to not worship you”
“What’s with that face?” Phillip asks Alex, seeing him with a sullen face, as he was watching somewhere outside the window, but Alex said nothing as he was grumpy.“Do you know what is wrong with him?” he asked Evan but he just shrugged his shoulders.“I have no idea. And now that you mentioned it you are right, he will always have that Grinch face. He looks normal only when Natalie is around.” and both Phillip and Evan came closer and looked outside the window to see what made Alex pissed off.Right there in the middle of the backyard garden, right beside the pool area, on two Manutti Kobo sun loungers Aida, Judy and Natalie were laughing their hearts out and giggling while they were playing with Judy and Evan’s twins.The babies are three months older and they are the cutest babies, being a perfect combination between Judy and Evan, who are so alike with Margot Robbie and Judd law.They called the girl Jade and the boy Rocco. They have thin blonde hair and the biggest blue eyes you
TWO MONTHS LATER.It’s been two months since Jerel and Lexie died, since all the alphas of the Eastern Packs came and asked Alexander to be their king, and yet both Alex and Natalie still think they're living a dream. I suppose that sometimes you are so used to the tragedy and the drama that when the time comes to be happy, you are still on alert.Today is the coronation day for them and also their wedding day because with everything that happened and everything that followed after that their lives were intense. They almost forgot what it's like to wake up in the morning and have a normal day.Everything revolved around the restoration of the Shadow’s packhouse, on the construction of a place for the Sunrise pack and even if Alex was the one in charge with this task, Natalie was working all day long on the social component of the two packs, being both Luna and Alpha at the same time.Evan and Judy are helping them and they got married a month ago when Judy finally marked the poor man
Alex started to laugh but seeing how serious the Alphas were he stopped.“You are not kidding me.” He said in the end.“We are serious. We want you as our Alpha King of Eastern Packs.“This is not a decision for the Council. You are just a part of this story, there are so many other packs. I can't force them to submit to me.” and Alex was damned right, but the leader opened the door and said.“Why don’t you go outside?”Alex stepped outside the house and he was shocked. Natalie followed her and she covered her mouth with her hands, but the moment Evan, Judy, Phillip and Livia exited Judy exclaimed.“Are you nuts? You must accept!” and hearing her Alex looked at her like she was crazy.“I may be a damned good Alpha but nothing recommends me as a king!”“You must be hit in your head!” Judy said, and that made Alex growl at her, because Kenji was offended, but Judy continued.“You are a good leader. You have a strategic mind and under this papa bear and scaring bogeyman wolfy you are the
Losing Adam shattered Natalie's heart, but it was not the time to dwell in grief. She looked at Phillip and him to lead the search and rescue team that arrived later from Jerel’s to look after Adam's body. She had to leave immediately to join Alexander's pack and stand side by side with him.As soon as Adam died the alarm echoed and she found out that the pack was under attack again. Alex was fighting in the battle against the bears.Natalie and Judy, along with their warriors from the Sunrise Pack, set out. They quickly arrived in Alexander's territory where they were fighting. Natalie signaled her warriors to join the battle against the bears, while she went to find Alexander. Along the way, she fought off many enemies. Just as she saw Alexander battling a group of bears, attempting to bite him, a massive bear appeared, roaring and aiming to tear Natalie to shreds. In the nick of time, Alexander arrived.Alexander's wolf form engaged in a fierce battle with the bear. Eventually, he
Natalie looked up to see Lexie, who was filled with rage. She considered Natalie responsible for everything bad in her life. She lost Jerel because of Natalie, as he marked her. And when she found our that Jerel had callously destroyed the house without regard for her life or for his own pup’s life , that had driven Lexie to madness, and she blamed Natalie for everything.She was Jerel’s favorite until Natalie came into the picture.Without Natalie’s presence now she would have killed Adam and taken his pack, maybe Alex too, and she would have been Jerel’s Luna. But no! Natalie ruined everything.So she escaped from the dungeons and took a bow and arrow she found in her way and when she saw Adam and Natalie, with Adam almost begging for forgiveness she couldn’t take it.She fixed the bow in that arrow and released the bow , while intending to kill Natalie.She failed even in doing that!She would have killed Adam later, but now all she wanted, all she needed was to see Natalie dead!“
Author’s POV.“Evan!” Alex called him as soon as he and Natalie caught him. “We are close, just slow down or you will have a heatstroke.”Evan was running in wolf form too, and so were his warriors, because as soon he heard that the pack is at risk all he knew was that Judy was there, alone. What if something happened to her?“I can’t lose her!” Evan howled. “I really fucked up in my relationship with her and I am sorry and I can’t change the past, man.” Evan mindlinked Alex, while he was running with him and Natalie. “ I made up my mind a long time ago but I was too afraid to admit that I changed my mind and I want her. I marked her, I claimed her” and the moment he said that Natalie looked at him in shock.Did he mark Judy?“She will be fine, Evan.” Alex said as he entered the Shadow pack territory but when they exited the forest Evan almost died as he saw the packhouse under siege. That splendid packhouse was burned down and there was no one around.“Oh my goddess” Natalie was scr
Author’s POV.Natalie grabbed Alex’s hand. She was furious.“I can’t lose, Judy,” she whispered. “Losing Jerry broke me, but losing Judy would kill my spirit, Alex.” she told Alex, who pulled her at his chest.“She will be fine, she is strong. Just have faith.” and Natalie tried to mindlink her but she was too far from the Shadow Pack territory, being impossible for her to reach Judy.“Damn it, Alex!” she said enraged and almost busted in tears, but Alex kissed her forehead and gave her his phone said in a calm voice.“Call her. I will try to identify the traitor. If Jerel sent the bears in my pack territory that means he has a spy there. I need to identify who that jerk is and stop him.”“He must be someone who was with us here during the attack over Jerel’s pack , Alex. Otherwise Jerel couldn’t contact him, just how I am not able to mindlink Judy. He just ran away if that's the case.” and looking at Alex she said.“I will call Judy.” and she was already with her fingers on her cont
“It’s Natalie!” Livia said and giving the signal all the women from Jerel’s harem shifted into wolves and bears.“Follow me” Livia said as she was running in bear form , opening the way for the other she-wolves. She killed rogue after rogue and the poor woman couldn’t stop herself from wondering how the hell she accepted to submit in front of Jerel for so many years.She charged at the harem’s main gate, attacking the guards. Seeing her so powerful the other women realized that they are strong too, it was Jerel who was making them weak, and all the love they ever felt for him transformed into hatred and anger. It was the fire that put the “killing machine” in motion.Every single woman who followed Livia and Natalie was here to win her freedom, and they did everything they could for that. They had enough of being manipulated and longed for freedom. This was the only chance they had.Seeing the counterattack from the main gate, Alex led his warriors inside the packhouse, jumping throug
Next day, early in the morning Alexander and Evan led their most skilled werewolf warriors, closing in on Natalie. They came with their cars and their motorcycles until they reached the Northern territory and from there they walked. It was damned difficult and he understood why Jerel would choose to hide there, because no healthy man in his mind would have ventured into that wild and rugged area.“Man,” Evan whispered. “I can barely breathe. When I find that jerk I will kill him in an instant.” and he was serious. Jerel messed up everyone’s lives.“Stay in a row,” Adam said. “ I lost more than all of you together. That rogue is mine.” and Alex just motioned to Evan to let him go.“Our priority is to save Natalie and you will focus on saving your sister,” he said to Adam. “If you have other plans, you would better tell me because I am not in the mood to be surprised again.”Adam didn’t look at Alex. They are allies right now, only because they suffered the same pain, but that’s all. If
