Alice

I could not sleep well.

An uneasy feeling consumed me in the night, so much so that I left the room so as not to disturb Enya. I had gotten to share a room with her, so I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

Enya had done too much for me, so the least I could do was let her rest. With that, I put on a robe over the pajamas I was wearing and went out to sit in one of the chairs in the back garden.

There, I stared up at the sky and wondered what other adversity would have to happen.

Don't be so pessimistic, Alice. Selene said gently.

"It's very easy to be pessimistic if too many things happen to you; right now, I have a power I can't control, you can't go out to take care of me because that might hurt the baby and Stefan might show up. There's too much going on and I feel like something could go wrong."

That doesn't mean you're pessimistic, Alice. The best thing you can do is learn from the sorceresses so you can defend yourself and know what to fight with if that bastard Stefan

    Alice"Of all the things I imagined could happen coming here, that one I never expected," Enya said, and I nodded.Gerard looked delighted as the woman spoke to him, fascinated by what he was saying, and that somehow made me smile a little because someone, in the midst of all the chaos, had found a reason to be genuinely happy."I had always thought that only between werewolves did they form mate bonds, but I can see how that's kind of absurd," I said in disbelief as soon as I saw the interaction of the Delta and the sorceress."The Goddess shows her cards in peculiar ways," Enya said cryptically, and I scowled at her. "All well and in order with your she-wolf?"Her question was meant to distract me, so I answered honestly."All very well, she's already where she needs to be; pitifully, she can't change because of the pregnancy, but I don't doubt she'll look for ways to accompany me in her own way; Selene is usually fun."Enya frowned."Is Selene named after the Goddess?" she asked."

    JacksonI had never been so surprised by anything like what had just happened.And looking at Alice's face, I knew immediately that she was just as surprised as I was, to a degree I couldn't elucidate. Her immediate reaction was to take a seat, then look at me as if she didn't believe what had just happened, and pin herself as if she had to verify it.If I wasn't equally disturbed, I would have laughed at how adorable she looked."What was that, Selene?" asked Alice bluntly to her she-wolf.To our surprise, she didn't hesitate to answer right away.That was talking to our real mate.I heard it loud and clear in my head, and Alfie burst out laughing. I knew from Alice's expression that she had heard it too."How is it that we hear the other's wolf without being bonded?" I asked in amazement. "This goes beyond what I know about werewolves, and I think I know a little bit about everything."It's a long story that we will tell you in due time; for now, you must settle your business, Selen

    Jackson"What was it like working at the Alpha's house?" I asked without hesitation.Alice sighed with something akin to nostalgia."Working there taught me to do many things; however, the distinction was always there, and when the Luna died, things got tense, but the Alpha ultimately let me stay, only if he didn't see me directly. The man had some trouble seeing me because he said I reminded him of his wife's kindness," she said, and I frowned. "I gradually earned a place in the kitchen, but there were days when the Omegas boss simply couldn't even smell me.""Did she treat you badly?""Worse than that, I would remind her that the husband had messed around with a human, and that was something people not only despised but didn't forget. As time went on, I grew up with two types of people around me: those who didn't care enough to disregard me and those who hated me for being a half-breed and never failed to remind me of it. Those were hard times, but I stuck to my father's teachings."

    AliceJackson was gone, and I was left with a tremendous feeling of emptiness.I couldn't explain what was going on; I just had an extremely unsettling feeling about it, but I was strong enough to keep my sanity. So I set out to learn what I needed to learn. I knew Jackson's trip would be a long one, so I wasn't about to waste time."Don't overexert yourself," Enya said earnestly when she saw me so determined. "I understand what you want to do, but remember that you're just recovering from time exposed to moonstone, and you've barely had your powers unsealed. Take things slow, or it may backfire."Her advice was not bad; however, I was at a certain point of desperation.The matriarch decided to teach me along with two more teachers, Glenda and Val, who had bonded with Gerard. Both were the most focused sorceresses, so not only did they know how to manage their energy very well to allocate it properly to invoke magic, but they also knew multiple basic forms of application that they use

    StefanThe members of the herd had been on their best behavior.They gave a warm welcome to the Species Council group that had come to visit to report back. Everyone, with the exception of the Beta of the Northern Pack, had been amazed by the good vibes and attentiveness of the people, so the next few days were full of kind words in my favor.However, the Beta Angel had questioned absolutely everything and asked leading questions to the members. Some didn't know how to answer them, others were witty, and a few chose to ignore him.He seemed to be the thorn in the side of my plan.He had investigated like a bloodhound, made a formal request to check the dungeons where the Elite men had held the fugitives, and requested detailed information from the autopsy of the person we indicated the former Beta's sons killed and an interview with the person who did it. In addition, he wanted to talk to the witnesses who had seen the plot—the brothers.The guy wasn't dumb; he was too smart, but I wa

    JacksonI had returned home with a tremendous empty feeling in my heart.Alfie was not only restless; he was beside himself, but he understood the situation and had given in to the journey. I needed answers—ones that were solid and that I could use to drive Stefan away from Alice in a forceful way.When I walked in, the first people I saw were Rita, Bella, and Angel, who seemed to have arrived earlier from the South Pack. Everyone, upon seeing me, immediately came over. My sister hugged me, and Rita asked the most expected question."Where are Alice and Enya?""I need to talk to you in the office; what I have to tell you is strictly confidential, and I need as much privacy as possible," I told them, and Bella looked at me with concern.However, they didn't question anything and followed me.Upon entering, I took a seat and blew my neck to release the tension that was choking me. With that, I was quiet, and Rita watched me with narrowed eyes."Something serious is going on," she deduce

    Jackson"Welcome everyone to this Species Council hearing," Angel said, and everyone nodded as they took their seats.The Calton brothers had someone guarding them, and from the physical resemblance, it was easy for me to deduce that it was their father. I was a little surprised, but seeing the way the man handled himself, I knew he was in a good position with the others."We are gathered here today to hear the defense of the Alpha of the West Pack, who was accused of receiving prisoners into his pack," said the secretary of the meeting. "Having heard the opposing side as well as overseen the evidence the Southern Pack presented, we want to know how he is going to defend himself against it."The Alpha looked at Calton painfully."Days before Alpha Stefan took power, when the former Alpha of the Southern Pack was still alive, the former Beta of this Alpha requested family refuge for his children," Alpha Enzo said, and I was surprised. "Long before what happened, the Calton siblings req

    Alice"No news from Jackson?" I asked Enya for the umpteenth time that week.It was the end of the second week since the Alpha had left, which generated not only bewilderment but also uneasiness in me. Every day, the anxiety to see him increased, yet I drained some of it with each of the practices I had to do."No, not yet; he agreed to let me know if something bad happened; otherwise, we must wait for his arrival. I am fully confident that he hasn't come because he didn't think it was convenient or safe," Enya answered truthfully as she finished chopping some potatoes for lunch. "You have to be patient and focus your energy on learning the lessons, as well as taking care of your feeding properly. You have a baby girl in your belly; you have to take extra care of yourself."Enya was saying this because, to some extent, she had asked for an appetite.That was based on the fact that she had too much nausea and the urge to vomit. She couldn't handle strong smells, nor could she handle so

    JacksonHaving five children was something of a blessing and a never-ending source of stress.The only one who was calm was Alia, the little 13-year-old, who was reading a book she found interesting. Meanwhile, Eris was arguing with Alexander, Marco, and Daniel. The three of them were teasing her after she had damaged a suitcase of dolls that she intended to use to go to college.“You're all assholes!” shouted Eris, fed up and storming out of the room.“Will you say anything to my brothers?” I asked Alia, who was a female version of me and I denied it.“No, I think someone else will,” I said and she smiled, knowing the answer.“Go apologize to your sister!” shooed Alice in annoyance as she looked at the triplets. “This prank was very heavy and your sister always has to pay for the broken dishes of your witticisms. This time they tried not only her patience, but mine.”“Mom—”“No words will do for me not to scold them,” Alice said angrily. “Your sister is going off to college soon and

    AliceThe goddess' orders were clear, so we sorcerers prepared everything to travel to the South Pack immediately. The funny thing about it all was that the Goddess spoke in our minds to show us in detail the sacrificial ritual we were to perform.I didn't know how the goddess was able to project everything to us as she spoke to the rest of the room, but I knew that no matter what happened, we were going to keep her promises. The problem was that we didn't know exactly where the grotto was and Angel was the one who told the truth about it.“My informant is apprehended,” he said and we were all stunned when he communicated this as we were getting ready for the trip. “The informant on what was going on with the Omegas sacrifice is Ariel.”“Impossible,” Teo said. “He's Stefan's most loyal man.”“He wasn't, not until Stefan decided to make less of people and he understood that it was horrifying the kind of sacrifice they made,” Angel said.“I've seen with my own eyes how bad blood that gu

    JacksonI knew what would happen at the meeting long before Alice arrived and I knew that would be the reaction I would get: absolute surprise. It was the same expression I had when the Alphas from the other packs, along with the leader of the warlocks and Marcel, told me hours before."That's not what I came here for," Alice said firmly, and I smiled.It was a classic response from her that, at that point, I could predict.And, to my dismay, Eris began to cry, highlighting a very important point of this whole mess, so I quickly went to her and when she felt me, she was quiet. Since I was singing nursery rhymes to her as my own energy, the little girl reacted very well to me. Somehow, I managed to calm the call and I was recognized as her father. The wonderful thing about that was that, apart from Alice, I was the only person with whom she really stayed calm.She feels at peace with you; you give her security, Alfie said happily.Knowing that filled me with happiness.After the war, A

    AliceShe was blinded by grief.I had fulfilled the will of the Goddess to imprison Stefan after killing Dalia, but I was completely empty inside. I had a frustrating sense of pain as I felt that my mate was gone.After Stefan was taken away, I didn't care about anything but Jackson, so I stayed with him and tried to wake him up in every way I could, but he wouldn't wake up. I didn't feel his life energy and I was desperate. It was my grandfather, who had just arrived, who put a robe on me and tried to get me away from Jackson.“You have to let go and let him go,” my grandfather said in a low, condescending tone of voice. “You have to accept fate.”“If he's not there, I have no destiny,” I said forcefully. “I do whatever Goddess wants, whatever you want, but please don't take him away. I know he's somewhere; I know it.”I hugged Jackson tightly and then I heard someone running towards us.I saw Bella and when she saw me, she was surprised; it was a matter of a second before her face w

    StefanThat bastard Jackson tried to kill me with his last volley of power, but I was able to get away in time. If I had held on to the handle of the dagger, he would have killed me on the spot. So I dropped him to the ground and cursed at the number of men he had killed with his energy. I had no idea he would be so powerful, but I was going to see to it that he didn't have the slightest chance of living another day.He seemed to be dead, but I didn't trust anything.“If your beast is that powerful, the only thing left for me to do is secure my future,” I said, pulling the dagger out of his chest.More blood began to flow from there and then I settled in to cut off his head and separate it from his body. I was ready to begin when I felt a ball of power hit me and send me flying through the air with force. That surprised me and separated me from the dagger that flew a few meters away from where I was.I was stunned as I stood up and turned to see who had dared to attack me.I realized

    AliceThe matriarch and I went to get my daughter.There was nothing more important in the world than to take care of her no matter what; however, when we went through the emergency exit, we found a string of corpses of Northern Pack guards and sorceresses.That made me gasp in pain.“You have to be strong,” the matriarch said. “Don't look at them; just focus on what you need to focus on.”I nodded with tears in my eyes and we walked to the passageways Bella and Jackson had shown me earlier. They were one small tunnel that led into the forest; however, I noticed that they were sealed off and that didn't give me a good feeling.“Something bad is going on; the plan was for Bella to come out this way with the baby girl if something went wrong with the birth,” I said and the matriarch checked the wall.“It's sealed from the other side, so we'll have to break it with force.”With the renewed energy my daughter had given me, I knocked and broke through the wall to go toward the path.

    Jackson“What do you want us to do now, Alpha?” asked Delta, and I kept my eyes on Stefan.“I want you to seal everything, find the openings, and deal with whatever it is,” I said, firm. “He's going to get in by hook or by crook, so be ready for when the magic wards come down.”Gerard looked at me seriously and nodded.Val had explained to us what would happen during the delivery.She had approached discreetly as she watched Stefan hand out his men.It wasn't hard for me to understand that he already had an idea of where to go and what he would do. I was sure the witch was trying to sabotage the pack's magical guard. So I organized groups while we waited for help.I had the sense to send the SOS signal to the allies to let them know I was under attack, but I didn't count on them arriving in time, much less did I count on the East and West Pack allies appearing out of nowhere in the forest.I felt the atmosphere change and smelled the rotten, heavy magic.It had been something complete

    Alice“We'll take Alice to Calve,” Enya said at once. “Keep that vermin of a man from even getting close or he'll find out what's going on.”Immense terror coursed through my body and I could only hope that help would not arrive too late. I saw Jackson tense up, but he didn't hesitate to kiss me and pull away to face Stefan. Then a great pain shot through me and Enya had two guards take me to the room Jackson had prepared for me and was still enabled so I could be okay.They fetched the midwife as well as the doctor, but I couldn't handle the great pain that was eating away at me. The tightness in my belly as well as the wrenching pain I felt in my hips was unbearable.Bella came into the room and looked at me firmly.“You are the strongest person I know on the planet,” my sister-in-law said. “So we're going to have that baby and we're going to get her to safety no matter what we have to do to make it happen.”That made me smile and then a new pain shot through me again and Glenda rus

    StefanThe hours that passed after the discovery were like an adrenaline rush.Dalia used magic to enter my thoughts and then decided to cast a blood spell to find out if that girl was really mine and what kind of power she had. She doubted what had just happened.“We have to be sure,” Dalia said.“It's the safest thing to do,” Ariel said seriously. “A puppy call is the strongest thing about a werewolf. It's basically primal magic transporting you to your child to be claimed by your bloodline.”“If that's true, you have to check to see if indeed Stefan has a bloodline and what kind of power that girl might have,” Dalia said. “If she is a powerful she-wolf, she will serve the plans.”Ariel's expression of horror was unique and he looked at me as if Dalia was insane.“Are you going to let them use your baby in magic experiments?” my Beta asked and I nodded.“That child is my property; she's my blood and I do with her what I want,” I said and at that moment, Circe walked in with her face
