Romeo POV
The five ladies were inside my office. I had to call an Omega to bring extra chairs due to the fact that Stella was still fast asleep on the couch. “How did you know that Stella would be asking a favor from you?” I curiously asked, and Evangeline piped in
“Well, Alpha, we have special powers and abilities. We know everything that is going around,” she announced with solemnity. I hated the feeling of being spied on, and then she burst out laughing,
“I am sorry, Alpha… It was just too easy; Stella sent a message on our cell phone.” Everly revealed, while the rest of them squeaked.
I hated people joking and making a fool of me, but somehow I managed to control my anger and deal with them. “So, ladies, would you be staying here?” I asked them, but I'm definitely waiting for an answer from Ashia.
“Certainly, Alpha, we want to spend some time with our girl and also find out w
Eulisses POV.I got the message from the border patrol that we were under attack. Paige quickly managed to get everyone who couldn't fight to the safety of the castle while I stormed out to the place of the attack. Our warriors were well-trained, thanks to Michael, and we were holding our ground.After a rough start, we were gaining terrain, but I noticed that we were also getting tired. One after one, rogues kept lounging at us, and in the same way, we kept killing them. I was about to give up when I saw a massive wolf showing up, and immediately, I knew it was my brother, Romeo.Help arrived, and I felt relieved that, with new blood coming, we got a new wave of energy and hope. Coral was also attacking, and I saw that Stella had arrived with a group of old ladies. They moved like choreography pulled out of a damn movie, and then I saw Wendy joining them. Were those witches? I guess so because they were holding their gr
Stella POVAfter the devastating outcome of the battle, I am not talking about the injured and dead; I am talking about Luna Mariel being stripped of her title, vanished from her own land, and then imprisoned by her own son.I couldn't care less about her feelings, but I clearly saw the toll it took on my mate. I can read the sadness and pain the whole situation caused him. I can't believe that his own mother is the one who planned an attack on her own son's newly founded pack. I can't believe that all that hatred and evilness could co-exist within one single person. It is hard to wrap my head around where my amazingly caring and loving mate came from.He picked me up in his arms. I knew he was looking for comfort within my touch, and I intended to provide him with reassurance and love. We walked inside the room assigned to us. And with a swift movement, he threw me over the bed. My insides churned with anticipation of w
Paige POVAfter the attack, we were drained. Eulisses and I were thankful that Romeo and Stella arrived at the time they did. There was also the issue of Eulissess's mother being imprisoned and Coral being trapped in a magic jail. It's been a crazy ride, and I still don't know if we are going to make it or not. I am still holding some hope of breaking my deal with the darkness, but the more time passes, the more restless I am getting.I woke up tangled in my mate's arms. He is such a caring and noble guy. Eulisses has proven over and over again that he is a true Alpha in his heart. He cares for his people, and the level of suffering that he has endured during his youth makes him a great leader. People love him, and he does love his people, up to the extreme of giving his own life to them. The man the Moon Goddess blessed me with, despite my grave mistakes, is much more than I had wished for.I let out a deep sigh, making
Paige POVEverly´s words shook me to the core. As far as I knew, there was no baby yet. Eulisses and I have been very careful, and although we want to have a family, Eulisses has worked so hard to create a functional pack. He has turned so many things around that I know he wants to bring our children into a better world.“Everly, I am sorry, but there is no baby yet…” I blurted out, and Eulisses nodded, confident of my asseveration. Elphaba smiled and looked at the others. Evangeline cleared her throat and whispered, “Not that you know of…” and winked at me.I was numb; fear ran all over my body. If what they say is true, the baby is already here, and we need to find a solution faster than we thought. Suddenly, my stomach turned, and I was nauseous; food looked unappealing, and even water was hard to swallow.Tears formed in my eyes. “Babe, everything is going to work out…” he whispered in my ear, so
Stella POVI was pacing my room, my anxiety present. My mind wandered about my sister. I know that she tried to harm me, even kill me, but that is long forgiven and forgotten. Romeo was lying in bed, sending messages on his phone. I have been so involved in helping my sister that I completely forgot about the rest of the stuff that both of us need to do at the Royal Pack; we also have a lot of things going on with the rest of the packs since we validated and made official the incorporation of the Gold Pack.“Sweetheart, relax… Everything is going to be fine… The ladies of the Circle of the Willow are very capable of helping Paige.” Romeo looked at me over his phone; his eyes showed concern. I knew that he was more concerned about me and the babies than my sister. He patted the spot next to him on the bed. I walked over, and his hand reached mine.He kissed my temple and held me tight and close to his body. His arms held
Wendy POVEleanore asked me to perform some sort of spell on me; she wondered about my past, heritage, and family. Something told me that there was more to it than simple curiosity. Ultimately, I agreed with her performing the revealing spell on me.We walked together outside the packhouse and headed toward the woods. She stopped at a clearing near a river. The whole site was breathtaking, and I felt relaxed. Eleanore sat on the grass and laced her hands over the cool dirt. She closed her eyes and hummed. She chanted a soft, relaxing song, and I felt compelled to sit in front of her and close my eyes as well.The damp forest scent invaded my senses, and soon, I was relaxed. She stopped chanting and opened her eyes. “Are you ready?” I nodded my head and, in a quiet stutter,I said, “Yes…”She took my hand, and a white light spread from her hand toward mine. Suddenly, the white lig
Stella POVEverything was back to normal; we finally returned to the Royal Pack and quickly got swamped in endless pack work. My pregnancy kept me from doing heavy lifting for the pack, and Romeo was adamant that I had as much rest and time for myself as possible. My belly was huge because I was carrying not one but two pups.One week before our arrival, the elders informed us that the Alpha Summit would be held here and that it would be next month. I had a lot of preparations to make. The Alpha Summit was an event where all the leading Alphas under Romeo's command would gather together and discuss the new proposals, laws, treaties, and well-being plans for the future. Every Alpha would be accompanied by their Luna and their Beta couple. It was a massive event where all 50 packs were confirmed to attend.Fortunately, the Royal Pack has plenty of accommodation to host all of our guests. I just needed to ensure everything
Stella POVI woke up feeling light-headed; suddenly, I realized I was alone in bed. It was odd, since Romeo and I slept together last night. I didn't feel him waking, nor was he inside the bedroom. I took a deep breath, and then I felt it. I felt suffocated, sad, in pain, desperate, and in rage. “What the hell is going on?” I mumbled; those feelings were definitely not mine, so they must be Romeo's.“Romeo… Where are you?” I called him through our mind link. The sadness that came through our bond was overwhelming, but I still waited for him to answer.“Sweetheart, I am in my office…” he replied, and I could sense in his voice that something was terribly wrong. I decided to walk quickly towards the bathroom, trying to be as quick as possible, considering the massive pregnant belly that I was currently sporting.I finished my business in the bathroom and stormed out of the room, looking for Romeo. I wo
