Zaya POV
Once I occupied the seat next to Godric, a swarm of gasp could be heard throughout the room. But Godric ignored the curious eyes and ears. His attention was fully on me. And my attention was on the full plate sitting before me.
I felt as if it’s been months since I had a decent meal. And it has. Evander’s group did not have many options when it came to food or supplies. This was the first time in months that I had a full plate. I wasn’t starved, but I didn’t have choices either.
“Do you have any plans for today?” He asked while chewing on a breakfast biscuit.
I shook my head no. “I will probably hang out with Audrey. That is if she's not too busy with Alex.” I said, jokingly.
“Alex will be with me today. We will be working on some things for your ceremony. I actually have a few things for you to do today. You will need

Meeting With The LunaZaya POVWe spent about two hours with Miss Gillery, sampling the different fabrics. I picked out four samples and left the rest up to her. Just as we were leaving Miss Gillery’s shop, Anna was waiting outside for us.“I can tell by your smile, the dress will be perfect.” She said as she hugged me. “Are you ready for your meeting with Luna Ariel?”“Yes. But can you tell me what this meeting is about? Godric says it is tradition. But what is it for?”“I’m not sure why you have to meet her. But I’ll show you where you are to go. It’s not far from here.”Anna led us to a car that was waiting to pick us up. As soon as they started driving away further away from the center of the pack lands, I asked, “Where are we going?”Anna answered. “There is a small retreat a mile past the market.

Somewhere SpecialZaya POVLuna Ariel and I continued to talk in the steam room for almost two hours. She tried to cram in some of the most basic things to know and the who’s who. It was her way of making sure I didn’t get into any trouble by saying the wrong thing or trusting the wrong person. When we finished talking, she decided to stay behind and get a massage.I showered and put my clothes back on. When I came out of the women’s locker room, the tall thin girl from before was no longer in her spot behind the desk. She was standing near the window staring at something outside.Her attention was stuck on whatever she was viewing outdoors. So much so, that she didn't see me leaving. When I opened the door, I caught the scent of my mate. I knew he was lurking outside somewhere. It was so strong that he could have been standing right in front of me.The sound of the door opening stole h

Absolute BlissZaya POVGodric swam closer to me. Under the water, his hands grabbed my legs and forced me to wrap them around his waist. Naturally, I wrapped my hand’s his neck as his hands supported my body.His lips began trailing my neckline, placing small kisses on my wet skin.My breathing became deeper as he started sucking on my skin. His hands were moving from my thighs to my butt.Godric pulled away from my neck and brought his mouth to mine. He kissed me hungrily. His fingers started to caress the place between my legs.I felt as if I was going to explode, and my body was getting weaker.My wolf was howling in my head. ‘Take us! Take us now mate!’ I couldn’t control myself.“Your eyes,” Godric said taking me from my heat-filled daze. “Your wolf is excited. I can see her eyes. They are beautiful.”“Kiss me,”

The Black WolfZaya POVThe next morning, I woke to find my body wrapped in Godric’s warm embrace. I looked around trying to figure out what time of day was it. The sun was shining throw the windows as if it was midday.My neck was sore from the mark he left. The pain left behind brought flutters to my stomach. Godric marked me as his. The mating process was over.I lay there remembering his hands all over me and thinking about the long passionate moans that escaped my mouth. I closed my eyes trying to savor the moment we became one.“You keep thinking like that and I’m going to have to take you again.”I jumped at the sound of his voice.“What are you talking about?” Could he hear my thoughts? I assumed he was sleeping the entire time.He turned over releasing me from his grip and stretching out his body. “I can sense your arousal litt

Murderer!Godric POVSetting my wolf free to play with Zaya’s wolf was just what we needed. She was just as beautiful in wolf form as she was in human form. Right before she shifted, she ran those perfect hands across my hair. Dragging her fingers along my neck.It was the only time my wolf ever felt calm. Almost tamed.I wanted to run with her every day, but we had so much to do leading up to her ceremony. Alex helped me organize the perfect party. Anna helped with coordinating the perfect ceremony. Zaya’s parents arrived two days ago and have been keeping her busy. While I was able to fulfill Zaya’s secret request, creating the perfect surprise for Audrey.Now it is the day before the ceremony and the Alphas had been rolling in since early this morning.

A Surprising ChangeGodric POVI sat there watching the twirl of emotions unfold before me.Raven, the young girl who was snatched out of her sister’s arms had just begun to scream as she begged the men to let go of Audrey.Audrey was being held captive by the two guards that arrived with Alpha Dagon. Her first thought was to fight back. And she did.But even her fierce spirit was no match for the two men. They were lucky my brother was not here. He would have torn them to pieces for aggressively holding his mate.Even I didn't dare to fight him on his mate. I hated that she was rogue, but I loved the way she cared for my mate and the fact that she was no doubt the one for my brother. And who was I to go against the Moon Goddess herself?The day Audrey saved Zaya from being attacked by Sophie, Zaya made it her mission to gift Audrey with something only we could. Zaya was reunited with

New StrengthZaya POVThe air in the room was thick with tension. I expected Alpha Dagon to give me more push about my decision, but he did not.He simply bowed and began pushing his family out of the dining hall. When he grabbed Raven’s arm, Godric cleared his throat in a manner that caught everyone’s attention.“Raven stays with us.” Godric simply stated and Dagon let the girl go. She quickly ran towards Audrey, and they continued their reunion.As the Alpha and his family continued to evacuate, I spoke once more. “We hope to see you at the ceremony tomorrow Alpha Dagon.”He looked as if his words were caught in his throat. Dragging and scratching, fighting to stay buried inside him. “Of course, Luna. We wouldn’t miss it.”I didn’t want Alpha Dagon there. His treatment of Audrey really pissed me off. I never hated someone so much

What NextGodric POVI rushed Zaya off to our bedroom. As soon as we were behind closed doors, I rammed her into the nearest wall. Seeing her in action and taking control brought on an excitement that I never felt before.She was fierce in face of one of our oldest Alpha’s and it was sexy. Our lips collided in a hungry attempt to devour each other. And that’s exactly what we were doing when Alex mind linked me. I cursed him and the mind link for interrupting us.He was demanding to see me at once in my office. The mind link ended and Zaya was standing in front of me with her arms folded. A confused looked graced her face and her lips were beginning to pout.“I thought we were retiring to our room for the rest of the day.” She said with a small grin on her face. I could tell she was teasing me, but I was serious earlier. I wanted to lock her in the room until tomorrow.&ldqu

Zaya POV“I won't go!!!” I shouted as I packed my bags. It was six in the morning and we were supposed to be in the car within twenty minutes ago.I was stalling, trying to get my point across.“We don’t need to visit the Black Woods pack.” “Yes, we do, Zaya.”“No…we don’t!” My voice was raised and I had no doubt we were waking the neighbors with our disagreement.He sighed loudly. “We cannot skip the Black Woods. Especially for the reason of simply not liking them.” He retorted.“Simple?” I questioned and then whisper shouted. “You think my reason is simple? He made my friend a rogue for being a victim. For defending herself.”He sighed again as if I was frustrating him. “I never said your reason was simple. It's no reason to cancel a visit.”“It is in my eyes.” I said while slowing my packing. In a more quieted voice, I said, “That man hurt our Audrey. What makes you think she wants to go back.”I was sure if she didn’t know now, she was going to know as soon as we hit the road.“I

Godric POVWe reassembled and began making our way to the next destination as if nothing had happened. But in this car, time had stopped. I could feel the surge of emotions coming from Zaya. She sat close to me, but her arms were wrapped tightly around her body as she continued to look out the window.“Are you okay?” I asked her.I could feel her vulnerability and anger. The mate bond was tearing at my heart.“Talk to me Zaya.”She shook her head as the tears filled the corner of her eyes. “I shouldn’t be mad or sad. I could only imagine how the rogue pack felt about when they….when he….I know they hate me.”“They don’t hate you. They hate us.”She turned to me just as a tear tumbled down her cheek. “They hate me. He didn’t call you names. He didn’t speak your name as if it tasted bitter on his tongue. Not like when he said my name.”She faced the window again.I had no words for her so I wrapped my arm around her back and drew her closer to me. She was exposed in ways she hadn’t b

Godric POVMy brother mind linked me to stay inside our vehicle. He was taking charge and keeping to the protocol we had gone over multiple times. I didn’t mind. There were only ten wolves I could see, and they seemed to be in a weakened state.I lowered my window to hear the conversation between him and their supposed leader. The one who stood closer to Alex. The one who crossed his arms to seem at ease as the others stood rigid.“State your business!” Alex shouted from a distance. One of his main rules was for everyone to stay at least twenty feet from any rogue we would come in contact with.Their leader huffed. “This is a public road. You state your business here.” He retorted.The male was a scrawny guy who stood with so much confidence. The others around him laughed as if he had told the joke of the year. But I didn’t see anything funny. All I could see were ten wolves looking to die.Sensing trouble in the air, I placed my hand on the handle of the door to exit the car. Then a

POV ZayaVisiting so many packs in such a short time had my mind overflowing. It was stuffed with the knowledge of the different cultures. And the many faces that came with that knowledge clouded my memories.I met five Alpha’s and four Luna’s. Alpha Christian was unmated, which is why he greeted us alone. I asked why he never took a chosen mate and he said he didn’t believe in anything the Moon Goddess did not gift him. I wasn’t sure how he remained Alpha without a Luna by his side.Many wolves believed that an Alpha needed a mate for the pack to survive. Strength through Unity is what they often require of an Alpha. Knowing that had me looking at Godric and wondering what would have happened if he had never come to get me. If he had never fought to be with me.Would I have heard of him taking a chosen mate? Maybe a political match? Maybe even making Sophia his Luna despite her attitude. She loved him and would have done anything to be his Luna. Not to mention her strength that was a

POV ZayaThe Tour to visit every pack under Godric’s reign began a few weeks after my third trimester. Evidence of my rounding belly was now noticeable beneath my clothing.We packed up a few SUVs and headed out first thing after breakfast. I would miss all of the smiling faces that lined up along the main roads leading to our borders to bid us farewell.Alex and Audrey traveled in the SUV behind us. The other vehicles carried nothing but guards and a few Elders. It was strange traveling like the president. Safely pawned from one set of guards to the next every few hours.When I saw the soldiers loaded into their respective cars, I kept wondering how all this would look to a human. Ten cars full of fighters traveling through major cities across North America. And then I realized, it wouldn’t look like anything at all.We drove around all the major metropolitan areas on the map to get to our first stop. I guess Alex wasn’t going to risk us drawing too much attention.On the way, we sto

Godric POVZaya was worried. And she had every right to be. If Mia’s attitude was any indication, Mason had a pack of wolves that hated the current Luna Queen.Who knows what will happen once the rogues find out that she is living happily and carrying the future King?“You know she could be carrying a girl.” Alex teased.“I know.”“I’m just saying, you keep referencing the baby as the future King. Like you are trying to will it so. That’s no how genetics works, brother.”“No, but I could hope.”He chuckled missing the dread behind my words. It’s not that I hoped the baby was a boy, it’s that I hoped he would actually be the next Alpha King. I hoped Zaya wouldn’t have to endure the pain that will follow we cannot make him so.“I think we should double the security team traveling with us. Just to be safe.”“You really are paranode.”“I’m Beta. I’m supposed to think of the things you do not.”I couldn’t argue with him there. It was what he trained for. To think of all the things that I n

Zaya POVAs soon as Godric entered our room, I started questioning him. My nerves had been bad since the moment he left the pack lands to meet with Mason and Mia.This would be his first time seeing Mason since the death of Evander and I was worried the meeting wouldn’t go well.What of it was a trap? What if they retaliated?Audrey kept me company the entire time, but still I remained anxious.“How was it?” I asked as soon as the bedroom door closed.He smiled slightly while approaching me. The smell of him quickly calmed my soul. He leaned down to kiss my cheek before answering.“It was okay.”“Just okay? What did you guys talk about? Were they hostile? Are there any signs of vengeance?I could tell from the look in his eyes, something happened.“Yes, it was okay. We talked about his new recruits. And the only thing hostile was Mia’s attitude.”I smirked. “Ah, yes. The infamous Mia.”I mentioned Mia while I was telling him about my life as the tribute. I told him that out of all the

Godric POVTensions ran high as the Elders debated Mason’s intentions. They held a meeting less than an hour after our return.Elder Grey yelled across the room. “We cannot assume they will start another war!”Elder Elias responded, “We cannot assume they will do nothing to avenge Evander.”One by one, they all started to shout over each other.“We’re talking about rogues here. They aren’t trained enough to lead a large-scale attack.”“You don’t need training to shift or carry a weapon.” Another said.Others agreed with him.“And you don’t need a sign from the Moon Goddess to know Alpha Mason is planning something.”Alex’s ears perked up at that comment.Elder John spoke up, “How are you going to defend the pack and we have yet to find out how Evander crossed our borders unprotected.”More whispers and more voices echoed in the room.The Elders were angry and impatient, but so was I. This unruly conduct wasn’t helping matters. Remembering my fathers words to keep the Elders in order,

POV Godric1 Month LaterIt took too long to get a response from Mason. He accepted the letters from the messengers that I sent to his territory, though he wouldn’t let them go past the border.I don’t blame him for being cautious, but I don’t appreciate my people not being able to gather any details.And I also don’t appreciate Mason’s lack of response. The first two letters, my people returned empty handed.The third letter, my people returned with a promise that he would call soon to talk.The elders were getting antsy and so was I. I expected a phone call within the week, but nothing.Then I realized, he was definitely stalling. He didn’t have a number to call. Every time we met with Evander, it was face to face. And agreeing to meet for the truce was done by letter.So I sent one last letter requesting him to meet on neutral ground today.We had much to discuss. The recent foot traffic from rogues was growing by the week and none of the surrounding Alpha’s were happy.Though none
