CADEL'S POV"I think he's leaving." I mind linked to my brothers when I saw Arnold walk up to the Alpha of the Crescent pack.He seemed to be saying goodbye."Right, He's leaving. Roy get everyone in position." Carson said."Yes my Lord." Roy linked back.Immediately Arnold walked out, we followed after him not bothering to even greet the Alpha of Crescent moon pack goodbye."Where is he now?" I asked Roy as we walked out of the building."He's getting into the car with his warriors." "Are our warriors in position?" I asked."Yes my Lord, they are waiting to ambush him.Arnold and his entourage took off, leaving the pack mansion of the Crescent pack behind and I and my brothers followed after them immediately with few of our warriors.The rest were lying in wait for them up ahead.We made sure to set up our ambush away from the Crescent pack so no one could hold anything against us.Arnold was riding in a black sedan with three more cars filled with his warriors behind him while I an
CADEL'S POV"I guess you would never have thought I would counter your ambush with an ambush of my own. Right from the moment you guys kept trailing me at the party, I already guessed something was wrong." Arnold said with a smirk on his face as he rose up to his feets."Sorry I came late." The Third Elder said and bowed to Arnold respectfully."Never mind any of that, kill them all." Arnold said as an evil glint flashed across his eyes.Carson chuckled at his words like he had just heard a terrible joke."You want to kill us? Try again in your next life." He spat out angrily.The third Elder moved quickly and appeared suddenly behind the two guards that held Arnold, he then knocked them out with a swing of his fist and grabbed Arnold, pulling him over to their side.A warrior from Blackmoon pack quickly came forward to untie him and Arnold wringed his fingers, stretching them."Now that I'm free, its time for you to pay for the humiliation I just went through." He said, giving Carson
ANNE'S POVI was waiting at the entrance of the mansion waiting for the Alphas to get back.Today was the day they planned to capture the Alpha of Blackmoon pack and I was nervous as hell.It was almost as if I was the one carrying out the operation.I stood outside as the the cold chilly air of the night blew over my body, making me sneeze occasionally."Anne what are you doing out here?" Nicole asked with a look of surprise on her face."I was looking everywhere for you inside, turns out you are out here. Are you trying to turn yourself into a block of Ice?" She asked with her brows raised in disapproval."I'm waiting for your brothers." I muttered softly but her frown didn't ease."I know, but you should have just waited inside."I shook my head at her words, " I prefer to wait out here, I'll see them immediately they arrive.""Anne Go inside, my brothers will be fine. You will only make them worried if you fall sick or catch a cold." She said and I let out a loud sneeze.It was as
ANNE'S POVWhen I was standing in front of Carson's room, I knocked gingerly on the door, anticipating his reply but I didn't hear anything after a while so I pulled the door open and went in.The room was pitch black and I could not make out Carson's figure.I stumbled around in the dark until I finally found the light switch, then I switched it on.Carson was seated on the edge of the bed unmoving.I was sure he had heard me come inside since I was quite loud when I was searching for the light switch."Carson?" I called out uncertainly and he glanced up at me then looked away.I drew nearer to him and sat next to him on the bed."Is something wrong?" I asked as I peered at his face but he kept avoiding my gaze."Talk to me." I said, he was starting to get me worried with how he was behaving.Carson didn't reply but he lifted his head to look at me and I could see his eyes were red.But I wasn't sure of it was due to anger or if he was holding back tears.It didn't seem possible that
ANNE'S POVCarson slowly buttoned his shirt and once he was done, he sat again on the bed facing me."Do you think Zeus will really contact you to save his son. He seems to be a cold hearted person." I said worriedly as my gaze turned serious.Carson pulled the pillows on the far end of the bed over and propped them nicely on the bed frame before laying his head down on it.He patted the empty space next to him, gesturing for me to come closer.I got up from where I was seated and walked over to the other side of the bed and then crawled over to him.Then, I laid down settling my head comfortably on his outstretched arms.He turned on his side to face me before replying, "Well I'm not sure but I believe he will. Arnold kept bragging about Zeus waging war on us to save him so I think he will.""Arnold? Is that the Alphas name?" I tilted my face up to ask Carson and he nodded in reply."Are any of our warriors dead? " I asked again and he nodded in denial."I like it when you say our."
CARSON'S POVI woke up and leaned against the bed, the morning sun was very bright and it lightened every part of the huge room.The smell of beautiful flowers and fruit trees drifted in through the window that overlooked the courtyard.Glancing to my side at Anne, I smiled gently at the weird way she had positioned herself while asleep.Her face looked extremely peaceful and she seemed to be dreaming of something pleasant as she smiled In her sleep.It was the weekend today and she didn't have to go in for work so I decided to just let her sleep in.I leaned over and gave her a light peck in her cheeks.She gave an inaudible sound as she turned on her side but didn't wake up.Chuckling, I got up to my feet and headed to the bathroom.I switched the water controller from cold to warm and then peeled off the clothes on my body.After, I turned on the shower and the warm water cascaded down my head to my back.When I was done bathing, I wrapped a towel around my waist and grabbed a smal
CARSON'S POVI walked back into the dark and gloomy walls of the dungeons after going out to see Nic.The reason she had asked to see me earlier sparked a tinge of curiosity in me, but it turned out that the reason was that she wanted to come down to the dungeons.According to her, she wanted to see what Arnold looked like, but I could not give in to her curious request.The dungeons were no place for a lady like her, and I also did not want her to see how cruel I could be towards other wolves who had wronged me.I felt a slight tremble in my spirit soul then the clear, calm voice of my wolf followed soon after."Don't you think we should listen to Cameron's words? After all, Zeus is the one who actually killed your parents." Never!That was impossible."His father killed my parents. Why should he get to go scot-free after we have already taken him captive? He should also feel a little bit of the pain my siblings and I have had to go through over the years." I growled back in reply,
Cameron’s POV:In the cold, damp dungeon, my brother Carson unleashed a relentless fury upon Arnold, the son of the man who had taken our father away from us. The scent of blood hung thick in the air as I stormed in, my wolfish instincts urging me to intervene."Enough, Carson!" I roared, my voice echoing off the stone walls. I forcefully pulled him away from our prisoner, my eyes locking onto Arnold's defiant gaze."He deserves worse for what his father did to ours!" Carson retorted, his anger unyielding.I squared off with my impulsive brother, arguing for reason amid the turmoil. "We need him for leverage, not a corpse. He's valuable alive," I urged, aware that emotions threatened to cloud our judgment.Carson's rage burned bright, his conviction unwavering. "Valuable? He's a reminder of what they took from us!"Arnold seeing us argue seized the opportunity to taunt us, he flashed his bruised lips at us in a smirk and shook his head slowly. "Seems like the mighty Alpha brothers can
Epilogue Anna’s POV: We were married for two and a half years. I lived with the brothers and our kids in one house, while Nicole and Lucas had their own homes nearby. I had a son with Cadel, a daughter with Cameroon, and was expecting a baby with Carson. But when the time came for the baby to arrive, something went wrong. The brothers waited outside the medical center, worried. Carson, especially, looked really concerned. An hour later, we got the sad news that the baby didn't make it. Carson couldn't hold back his pain and let out a howl of sorrow. Carson was devastated for months after we lost the baby. Cadel and Cameroon allowed us the time and space to heal. They didn't mind that I was spending more time with Carson than them. They didn't even mind that they had to look after the kids most of the time. Nicole did help us out a lot with looking after her nephew and niece. Slowly, Carson and I found comfort in each other's company. After a while, our intimacy rekindled,
Anna's POV:Inside the Alpha quarters, in the confines of the large living room, only three of us remained: Nicole, Lucas, and me. We hoped those who went after Cecilia's killer would return any moment, having faced little challenge in capturing him. But we were wrong. A primal roar shattered the silence around us twice. Nicole stood up abruptly. “That must be Bryan.”I joined her. “He's calling for his pack.”“What could have possibly gone wrong?” Lucas asked as he rose too."Let's go after them!" I declared.Lucas nodded, and we left the house, heading towards the forest. As we went after Bryan and the others, more pack members joined us, all responding to the Alpha's call. As we reached the edge of the forest, the scene before us made my blood run cold. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, the metallic scent of blood mixing with the earthy smell of the forest. The moon cast an eerie light over the carnage, illuminating the torn remains and the still forms of bodies.Nicole gaspe
Carson's POV:We moved swiftly through the pack house grounds, slipping back into the dense forest where the killer had disappeared. The night air was cool, and the scent of wet wood and damp earth filled my nostrils. Each step sent jolts of pain through my body, but I gritted my teeth and pushed on."Where did you last see him?" Collins asked, his voice low but urgent.I pointed towards the slope where the spears had shot out. "Down there. He triggered the trap and vanished."Cameroon led the way, carefully going down the slope and each of us descended after him. As we reached the bottom, I paused, sniffing the air."He's close. I can still smell him," I said, my voice a growl.“Isn't that strange?” Collins mused.“What is?” I asked. “If I killed my Luna, I wouldn't be lurking around still,” Collins said, with a thoughtful expression. “What if we are working into a trap?”Pausing briefly, I replied, “Well we outnumber him five to one. I say we get this son of a bitch, regardless.”W
Carson's POVCameroon and I chased after Cecilia's killer. He was fast, agile, and remarkably skilled at evasion. Just as my hands dove to catch him, he leaped over a massive log, and I ended up crushing an unfortunate firefly instead. I tossed it away in frustration.Cameroon lagged behind me, making me wish Cadel were here to assist in the chase. As we tore through the forest, which grew steeper with every step, the killer only seemed to get faster. We approached a particularly treacherous section of the forest, where he slid down a slope and pulled a lever. Suddenly, pairs of spears shot out, several piercing my body.“Argh, damn it, it hurts,” I yelled.“Whoa, whoa, whoa, careful!” Cameroon sang the last word, spreading out his arms to balance himself as he screeched to an emergency stop.I scanned the slope, but the killer had vanished after triggering his trap.“Wolfsbane,” I groaned. “The spears—”“It’s okay, I got you. I got you.” Cameroon pulled me back. “We need to head back
Anna's POV:Returning to my pack stirred up more trouble than I anticipated. Cecilia's disdainful remarks since our arrival only fueled my desire to leave. Yet, despite the ease of saying the words, I found myself lingering. Was it the twisted satisfaction of witnessing Cecilia and her mate's conflict over me that held me back?Alpha Bryan's decisive action, slamming the door on Cecilia, sent a strange thrill through me. I shouldn't feel this way; I didn't care for Bryan. Yet, his defiance of his Luna for hosting us made me feel oddly important."Hey, Anna, lost in thought?" Cadel's touch on my elbow brought me back."Yeah, just thinking about tomorrow." Damn, did I just lie to Cadel?He looked at me, towel hanging loosely. "What's happening tomorrow?""We won't be stuck in the alpha quarters forever. Eventually, we'll venture out, and I'll face werewolves who share Cecilia's resentment.""They can't all hate you. Collins and Bryan seem to support us.""Yeah, tell me about it."Cadel
Cadel's POVAfter Nicole's brash confrontation with Cecilia, the room fell into a thoughtful silence. Cecilia's eyes flickered with suppressed emotions as she briefly avoided meeting our gazes, perhaps acutely aware of the rift her actions had caused.Nicole, on the other hand, remained stoic, her expression guarded as she picked at her food, seemingly unfazed by the lingering hostility in the room. The tension between her and Cecilia stewed beneath the surface, threatening to spill over at any moment.Cecilia's fingers drummed impatiently on the table, her jaw still clenched with frustration. Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she spoke, her voice sharp and cutting."You think you can come into my home and tell me how I should behave?" Cecilia's eyes blazed with defiance as she locked gaze with Nicole. “You came here unannounced and it's taking every fiber of my being not to kick you sorry lot out. So, while I begrudgingly extend my invitation, you all would do well to re
Carson's POV:As we stepped into the dining room, a space illuminated by mostly candlelights, Cecilia set a tray of potato fries on the table causing them to bounce with a soft thud. She pulled out the nearest seat and settled onto it, legs crossed in an ankle style. The hem of her silky nightdress revealed a tantalizing glimpse of her thighs. My gaze unintentionally lingered on the faint impression of her nipples against the fabric. “Hey, babe,” she purred, adjusting her dress as Bryan approached. “I’m really craving a proper massage after dinner.”Bryan slid into a seat beside her with a smirk. “Sure thing, I can be your masseuse. I just wished you'd pay me for it.”Cecilia playfully lifted her leg, resting it on his lap. “Oh, honey, I do pay you – just not in cash.”“Ceci, now is not a good time, please put your sexy creamy leg back down.”Cameroon and I shared a knowing look before settling down at the table, joined by Nicole, Lucas, Cadel, and Anna. With a coy smile, Cecilia
Cameroon POVSeeing my Uncle, Ben, had terrified me to a great length. He was easily the strongest werewolf I've ever met. I know this because I've seen him overpower even the strongest of adversaries with ease. His sheer strength and ferocity were unmatched. Even if my brothers and I were at the peak of our strength, we wouldn't have stood a chance against him, especially with five other werewolves backing him up. While grappling with Uncle Ben, we communicated through our mind link with Lucas, asking him to seek help in case we couldn't win. If we failed, the girls would be in need of rescue. Yet, I never dreamed we could stall Uncle Ben for so long. The Uncle Ben I knew, at his most aggressive, could have overwhelmed us within minutes.Was he growing weaker, or had we grown stronger? Regardless, he had us when it counted, but then Uncle Ben abruptly halted his assault and fled. Was it a change of heart, or did he detect a more pressing threat? His sudden departure left me both sur
Anna's POVThe forest trees blurred past us as Nicole and I ran for our dear lives. The sounds of growls and snarls echoed behind us. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, and dread enveloped me tightly as I stole a glance over my shoulder, catching sight of Uncle Ben and his pack tearing into the Alpha brothers ruthlessly. Was this going to be how I lost my mates? So much for going back home with three Alphas as mates. Please, moon goddess, don't let them die! "Nicole, why is your Uncle trying to kill us?" I gasped out between breaths, as we dodged between tall trees and bushes, hoping to escape our attackers. Nicole's expression was grim as she glanced at me. "Uncle Ben's desire to kill us comes from a deep-seated belief in the purity and superiority of the family bloodline. We come from a long line of werewolf alphas, with a family history steeped in the purity of our bloodline. Our father was only half werewolf, breaking the purity, and Uncle Ben, being full-blooded, resents us
