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

    Alice"Mother?" I asked in surprise. "What do you mean, mother?"The matriarch's eyes widened as if she couldn't take it in, and then something completely unhinged me. She prostrated herself on the ground and knelt before me. That was the straw that broke the damn camel's back."Will someone kindly explain to me what is going on here?" I asked this time with annoyance.Suddenly, a woman emerged from the water, and I was spellbound.She was of unheard-of beauty, the likes of which were not to be found in the world, and when she approached me, she immediately dried up and began to glow as if she were a star. Then the realization of what was happening came to me in a hurry, and I had to prostrate myself on the ground.It was the Luna Goddess herself."I thought that making you reborn along with an innocent but stubborn woman was what you finally needed to come back to me," the Goddess said, and I frowned. "Lift your face, girl; I am conversing with my daughter Selene."I did so fearfully

    JacksonWe spent five whole days evaluating the evidence and witnesses the Calton brothers provided. They had done well to plant not only reasonable doubt against Stefan Gray, but they also had the audacity to agree to submit to any kind of magical cross-examination that would confirm their truth.I was already talking major league, so I had to close the siege within the Species Council itself in a meeting that was very revealing."I suggest a formal investigation into Alpha Stefan," Angel said and many nodded, while others were doubtful and many of them were the councilors Stefan had kept in contact with.That gave me a bad feeling."Although the testimonies and evidence are serious, the subjects are prey to an investigation—""Which is going to be conducted by the Sorcerers' Council," I said immediately, and there was a collective gasp. "They are in charge of reviewing anything to do with magic, including anything to do with Alpha Stefan and the accusations brought before him.""But

    JacksonOf all the things I could have thought would happen to me, I never imagined anything like this.From her expressions, Amelia looked brave, but it was obvious that she was very afraid, something that Amalia expressed without any shame whatsoever. She didn't trust anything; she saw all of us as if we were going to attack her, and I cursed those who made innocent girls only 15 years old have to go through that.That made me realize that Alice wasn't that old, that she was a young girl too, and that I would have too much on my hands with this. The words just wouldn't come out. Part of me was afraid that this would be detrimental to Alice, but my sense of duty and loyalty told me that I had to keep that old promise I had made to the late Luna of the West Pack.It was the least I could do for a dead woman who could not defend her daughters."Don't worry, we're going to help everyone," my sister said immediately and I thanked her.I had been caught by surprise and off guard."My sist

    Jackson"Alice is safe," I said immediately.And with that, I managed to calm Bianca down for a few minutes while I accessed the company's security system and erased the hallway recordings. I had been careless in my office, but at the same time I had been efficient.I had to tell her that Alice was safe in order to negotiate with her.She would accept no other explanation when I had tacitly assumed I knew Alice. I knew what battles I could lose and win, and that was one I didn't want to fight.After that, we went down to the bunker because my office wasn't the safest place to talk about that subject. I had had to lie in the pack, say that Alice was undergoing medical treatment due to a rare illness because of her half-breed status so that everyone who knew her would stop asking questions. So every time I asked about it, I would say that she was in recovery and that she would be back in the pack soon.Practically everyone knew it was my mate, so they didn't give the matter much thought

    Jackson"That's not possible; your mother had to have used dark magic to do something like that," I said flatly, and she denied it."You don't have to resort to that kind of magic when you make a love sacrifice," Amalia said, and I looked at her in surprise because she was speaking firmly. "I know you possibly don't know much about sorcerers, but they can sacrifice themselves if they are going to create something that goes against nature. For the Goddess there are certain exceptions to her rules, and one of them is love. My mother knew she was going to die, so she made her death a sacrifice to save my father and prevent him from dying of something unnatural or accidental. She gave him her ultimate protection, and although it's unusual for this to be done, it's part of what we can do for the people we truly love."I swallowed hard before the weight of his words.It was an unusual situation, so it was somewhat reassuring in a way."Then that's good; however, you guys need to be much mor

    AliceHow did the matriarch know who was in the car? I had no idea, but at that moment I didn't care; I was just happy to see my friends, who, after the respective hugs, began to smell me insistently."Your scent is strange," Bianca said with a frown."You smell different, you look better, but there is something about you that is different; I'm feeling it; I just can't exactly perceive the change," Teo said, and I smiled."I have a lot to tell you, but this is not the time; you need to eat and then talk to the matriarch," I told them seriously, and they nodded.The daughters of the Alpha of the West Pack carefully got out of the car. One of them was more protective than the other; she looked a bit wary while her sister looked curious, and this one, when she saw me, opened her eyes wide."It can't be," she said with a lot of surprise, and I didn't understand why she was like that."What's wrong, Amalia?" asked Teo immediately."I thought people like her are a myth in the history of sor

    AliceThe night had come in too much of a hurry, so we had prepared some huts outside for the siblings to stay in because Bianca had not agreed to be away from Teo. In a way, I understood her, but her cousins did decide, and they were very emphatic, to stay in the other sorceresses' quarters because they wanted to learn as much as they could about the culture and powers of the sorceresses.That fascinated the matriarch, so she didn't hesitate to give them personalized training, something that was really hard to do. According to her, the twins had a base to learn from; they were not neophytes like me and would have an exponential growth of their skills in days.That made me feel a little silly until Val approached me."Was it you who diverted the river weeks ago?" asked Val, and I frowned, then she smiled. "Only a primary sorceress would do that, so don't belittle how far you've come. It would take fifty of ours to do what you did. So me being you, I'd be proud of my advancements."Wit

    Alice"Where are you going?" asked Jackson with concern."To help sort this out," I said and he frowned."Let the matriarch do what she must; getting you into this trouble is exposing you—""I'm going to help her re-establish order; trust that I know what I'm doing, and just as I would fight for the Northern Herd, today I choose to help Cuburua."My words made him tighten his lips, then he sighed and nodded, understanding that I was going to put up a fight about it. Then he hugged me, and I gave him a kiss on the forehead, which gave me courage."If anything happens, come over right away or call me somehow; I'm going to be here for you, don't forget."I smiled at Jackson and followed in the matriarch's wake, taking the same route as in the past. Selene was very alert, so much so that she activated all my senses to the point that I managed to tell who was where by scent.I realized that beyond the barrier, there were a few dozen humans handling explosives. So I immediately approached t

    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
