Author’s POV.Adam and Alex locked eyes while Natalie was between them and the entire room grew tense. Did they hear it well? Did Alexander Štěpánek claim Natalie Hawkins as his fated mate right after they approved her request for divorcing Adam?He just watched how demanded Alex was to take Natalie away from him and in the end he released her arm and let out a bitter laugh.“So this was your plan, isn’t it?” he asked rhetorically, making everyone ask what the hell was he talking about.Natalie held her arm at her chest, because Adam almost broke it and you could see marks of his fingers on her flesh. That’s how tight he held her.“You were looking to steal my Luna to use her against me, and weaken my power so you could take it over my pack” and he starts to laugh like a madman.“Are you really her fated mate? What fucking joke is this, Alexander Štěpánek, huh?” he questioned Alex.“You saw her so many times and you visited my pack and never said anything about you two being fated ma
Author’s POV . “Natalie!” Alex screamed , because everything was in chaos. There was a lot of smoke and you barely could see one feet away from where you were. “Natalie!” He called her again. If she suffered something, if she…No, she can’t die! They just started their life together . The goddess can’t be so cruel! He got on his feet, because the explosion threw him from where he was and started to search for his mate. “Damn it, Natalie!” Alex cursed. “Just tell me where you are” he mindlinked her this time, realizing that there was so much noise around them that maybe she didn’t hear him. “I am fine,” she said, almost bursting into tears. “I am right next the entrance” Alex started to walk in the direction of the place where the summit was taking place and he realized that the explosion came from a bomb. And that bomb was placed inside the restaurant for sure, because he was thrown away from there. If they were inside… they could be dead right now. “Kenji, focus and find her!”
Natalie’s POV.“Alex!” I shouted seeing him caring for a wounded Alpha. Shit , his face is full of blood and I can’t even recognize the poor man!“Let me help you!” I say and leave Adam behind, because I am not in the mood to deal with him right now. My new priority in this life is my relationship with Alex. I took my revenge, there is nothing more important than him right now.“That jerk is still after you” Alex tells me through our mindlink looking at Adam who stares at me defeated.“Let him be. He will understand in the end to leave me alone. It’s just his alpha ego” I say trying to conform him. I know that Kenji must be alarmed by everything that happened here today.“Here” he says, helping the Alpha to lean on a wall. “The doctors will come soon and take care of you. Can I leave you alone?”“Yes, Alexander” the old alpha whispered.And now I am in shock. Is that the leader of the Alpha’s Council? I didn’t even recognize him!“Alex” I wiper “Who the hell would put a bomb at alpha
Author’s POV.They spend more than two hours helping those around them. Both Alex and Natalie put an effort so that no more lives could be lost and when everything started to become still, and at the restaurant only those who were able to walk by themselves were still there, Alex started to become agitated.It was the adrenaline that gave him the strength to resist and help so many people but when everything ended he realized that he could be one of those alphas who were mourning their Lunas.Natalie could have been dead or badly wounded in this stupid and pointless attack. Kenji was screaming in his mind to hold Natalie, to take ehr and leave but he knew that he couldn’t leave just like that.“But what if another attack will be launched while we are here? What if another tragedy might strike unexpectedly?” Kenji asked him and only the thought that he might lose Natalie horrified him.Life is so damned short and he d
Natalie’s POV.I’ve been watching Alex since the Alphas realized that he was right. That alone we can’t stand in front of the danger that awaits us. And after this fuckin’ tragedy all of them are so eager to find allies. I hate them sincerely.And if you ask me I’ve started to hate the entire world too. Werewolves World is horrible most of the time. What happened today has nothing to do with the way our lives should be. Why can’t we be happy? Why do we need to cheat , to fight , to hurt each other to the point that we transform ourselves into criminals?I watch them as they start to take in consideration everything Alex said before but they neglect it. Even my stupid ex-mate is listening. I know that he hates Alex, but he is not so stupid enough not to realize that he is right. So he can’t leave the Red Blood Pack unprotected. He just sits there and wants to be a part of this alliance.“Alex,”
Author’s POV.“What is going on here?” Alex asked and his blood pressure was on high limits seeing that Natalie was talking with Phillip. The guy was looking at his mate as if she was some kind of goddess. And that has only one explanation. Phillip likes his mate.Red Blood Pack must have been a crazy pack if even the beta had his eyes on his Luna.“Alex” Natalie said and turned her face in the direction from where she heard his voice and she saw Alex, accompanied by Evan and Judy.“We were talking about what happened today” she said in a soft voice and got on her feet but before she could take a step in his direction Alex was already holding her hand tight and was giving Phillip a gaze like a statement. “ Back off, she’s mine!”He kissed her temple and said:“Let’s go , Natalie, we are done here.”Natalie looked at Phillip who was aware that he can’t hope to be with her anymore. Alexander Štěpánek is not a match for him, unless he hates his own life to provoke him so in the end just
Natalie’s POV.I stop kissing him, making him sweat and swallow his saliva from emotion, which makes me burst out laughing "You marked me, I marked you so that means that you are mine. IN the last few days we were apart I had so many wet dreams about you and now I want to make them become reality. "And he hugged and kissed me intensely when I finished my speech. I feel his manhood tense again and he starts to rub himself between my legs. Moon Goddess, thank you! Thank you for giving me another chance of happiness!I grab him by the collar of his shirt and I place my head at chest , listening to his heart beat. I'm happy.I am happy with him.. The memories of Red Blood Pack, the way Adam treated me, everything faded in front of Alex. The evidence that he suffered in my absence, that he longed for me made me love him more.He told me that he loves me the day I realized we are mates. He uttered the words I wanted so badly to hear, but I couldn't process them in my mind because everythi
Author’s POV.“You look…” Judy said and started to laugh.“Whatever you want to say just don’t!” Natalie said and started to laugh because she knew Judy very well.“I was going to say …very…but very satisfied!” and she laughs so hard that she starts to cough in the end.“See, Judy?” Natalie mocks her. “ My curses have reached you, I told you to keep your mouth shut."“But you have that sex face!!!” Judy said with a puppy face “How to shut up?”“You are unbelievable!” Natalie said but she started to laugh with Judy.After Alex tormented her all day in his office and after dinner all night too in their bedroom, as a punishment for leaving him a week ago, and making him almost die of a heart stoke, today, when she looked in the mirror her face was blushed and glowing of satisfaction.She never felt this way with Adam, not even after he marked her. This is so new for her too, so blissful that she has no idea right now how she will survive without Alex if someday she will wake up and real
“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
