AliceEnya kindly showed me the whole house.It was a large place with stunning views of the forest and had a garden that seemed to be the dream of any florist; it also featured a spacious area where many cars could be parked. I liked that it was an open place where any member of the pack could go to ask for whatever they wanted.It was very different from how things were handled in the Southern Pack.It was a bit difficult to have people around, but Enya made everything much easier.With her gift of words, Enya introduced me to the wolves she could, always keeping her distance, and the most pleasant part of the process was realizing that Alpha Jackson was right. No one looked at me with any expression of disdain; rather, everyone was curious to know how I had ended up there."Doesn't anyone know that Alpha saved me?" I asked carefully, and Enya shook her head."Only those who were patrolling that night know—those who brought you here and those who took care of you. But that won't come
AliceRecovering was easy.Enya took care of me in a way that no one had after my father's death. In some way, I had earned Enya's respect, and I felt blessed to have the opportunity to meet a woman like that Omega.An entire week went by before the doctor and the healer checked on me again."Did you take the potion as I instructed?" asked the healer, and it was Enya who answered for me."Yes, she did. I made sure that Alice took the right doses, ate well, rested for the correct hours, and walked around the house. Alice did everything very well, and when she was about to give up, let's just say I was convincing enough for her to continue her treatment."Everyone laughed at the thought of the ways Enya could convince people: through cooking and a good scolding. The woman was an unstoppable spirit of nature, possessing strong leadership qualities that no one overlooked."That you prepare Alice's favorite cake is more than valid blackmail," said Alpha Jackson, and I immediately looked tow
StefanCirce was a damn problem.I hadn't thought about the fact that Circe would extend our stay in the Eastern Pack out of jealousy. The excuse that she needed to spend more time with her family had been used to the point where our trip had been extended. We had been at her father's house for 11 days.And that was getting on my nerves.The only good thing was that I managed to get his father, the Alpha of the Eastern Pack, to sign a binding and unbreakable spell so that he would agree to give me everything I wanted. My father-in-law agreed to be loyal to me when the time comes. It was the best deal of my life, but I needed to get my people moving, train them, weed out the weak, and shift the pieces for war as soon as possible, but Circe wasn't cooperating.I knew very well that she was afraid that when I returned, I would run back into the arms of my mate.How had Circe discovered that I had hidden the little hybrid away like a trophy or in the dungeons? I had no idea, and to be hone
StefanReaching my pack had been difficult due to the weather conditions. We had gone from a harsh winter to a spring with torrential rains, causing the roads to collapse due to landslides and water.Nature was complicating my plans.After three long days, I finally arrived at the Southern Pack, a place I needed to reform from its damned foundations. I hadn't had time to properly try things on, but I already had clear and defined ideas about where to start. Nevertheless, that didn't matter to me right now; I just wanted to reach the peace of my home.However, when I entered the mansion, I felt the heavy atmosphere. No one had welcomed us, not even the Omegas who worked in the house, and that's why I had a feeling that something was off. Circe immediately went up to sleep; she felt exhausted from the journey and from the fact that I had marked her body with bruises as a way of letting off steam.Circe had enjoyed it, but I was not satisfied; I wanted more.I left my things downstairs fo
AliceBella was a whirlwind in every sense.After Bella took me out of Alpha Jackson's house, she brought me to the town center and made me visit all the shops. Not only that, she made me try on an absurd amount of clothes because, according to her, "A girl doesn't know her style until she tries on enough to figure it out."Those words were unheard for me, but I didn't say anything to Bella for my own good.The part of me that still had some reluctance towards the new remained resistant to Bella's advice, but the other part of me that missed Bianca felt at ease with her overwhelming spark. It took just one visit to a single store for me to discover the differences between Bella and Bianca.Bella was a sociable, captivating woman who got straight to the point with smiles and charm. Bianca had that, but she had plenty of character and brought it out whenever she could. Until now, I hadn't seen a rough or forceful attitude in Bella, and I had to admit that I found it magnificent.However,
JacksonFollowing Bella's ideas was not a good thing.Seeing Alice's face confirmed my thoughts; she looked like a frightened deer about to run away.It was obvious that Alice was scared, but I was doing my best not to make her uncomfortable. The only good thing about all that was that Bella had brought her out of her shell and made her interact with more people.That was a giant leap that Alice had made.And the fact that my sister had helped Alice highlight her beauty even more was definitely a plus. Alice was a woman of devastating beauty, with a very rare kind of beauty to behold. And the funniest thing about it was that she wasn't taking advantage of it.That's why I was wondering how it was possible for someone to have hurt her when all I wanted at that moment was to bow down before her and please her in any way she desired.Controlling myself was going to be quite a challenge."Are you okay?" I asked cautiously. "I know Bella can be intense; did she do something that made you fe
AliceLunch with the Alpha had gone well.Despite my fear of the fact that he was a man and an Alpha, I had loosened up enough to feel comfortable to some extent. However, there was a certain tension between the two of us that I couldn't quite decipher.Did I like that?No, but it was what was there, so I looked for a way to control it.If I forgot my fears for a moment, it was easy to talk to him and be honest as far as I could. It wasn't a matter of being forced to talk; although there was a bit of that, it was more a matter of letting go, and with him, I could do that with some comfort.The man had a very different outlook on life than what I knew; it was something interesting and very good to hear. Especially when it clicked in me that in the Northern Pack things were something else, so being in that territory felt like being in another world.So that night I let Bella help me pick out the outfits I would wear that week, as well as pack everything into suitcases because the next d
JacksonLunch with Alice had been a delight.But seeing her entertained with Bella and paying attention to preparing for her new job had been a kind of stimulation I had never felt before. Seeing her more serene, unafraid, and with the will to fight was a kind of satisfaction I never imagined I would appreciate.She had a light I had not seen, one that calmed me.So when I found her chatting happily with Enya, I just enjoyed the beautiful view she was giving me. It was breathtaking, and the nicest thing about it was that she was dressed to give me a heart attack.Her pink dress was cute, pretty, and very simple, but I was aware for the first time that she was a beautiful woman because it clung to her figure completely and made her stand out. I realized that Alice was spectacular. She was petite and slim, but she had curves in the right places, and I knew that if she ate better, it might be more noticeable.I tried to control the erection that grew immediately and said goodbye, taking
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. I noti
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
