Still Alpha King's POVWhen I'm back in bed, I immediately fall into a dreamless sleep. The following day I wake up rested and remember that today Erina is making her catwalk debut. A smile spreads over my face when I think of the little one. She's already wrapped the whole pack around her little finger, everyone adores her. The pups follow all her instructions obediently, without questioning her decisions. Erina has built up a decent foundation of trust in a short period.With my hands behind my head, I lean against the bed board and think back to last night. It seems like Alcina is stepping up on her game, I have to be extra vigilant now. Last night she used a spell to project us intimately in bed in my mind. As a little boy, my mother's friend often showed me that trick to tease me. It's actually an easy stunt of witches. This trick is followed up by a potion that is often put in dark-colored drinks like red wine. The spell and potion make sure the target will show attention to th
“Alpha Remus”, I greet my colleague on the phone. “Are we now deviating from usual procedures? I have a list here of twenty of your pack members who just this morning asked for permission to attend a fashion show in my pack. No problem of course, but we used to do this differently," I remind him."Twenty?" my friend sounds surprised. “I understand from my Beta that there are five of us traveling. And everyone in my cologne is under my authority and we have agreed that no permission is needed. My wife and I, my son and his mate and my Beta. No one else. You're telling me something I know nothing about, Alpha King. Please, take a picture of the list of names of the twenty and send it to me via WhatsApp. I'm investigating this to the bottom." It is clear from his voice that heads will roll, Alpha Remus is not known as someone who tolerates malpractice. "I'll send you a message from those who do get permission and that's final".I call the two Alphas and they are also surpr
Midnight Moon is buzzing, never before has my pack seen so many visitors. When I look over my balcony, I see a crowd, every one beautiful in formal dress with hats. It looks like a royal gathering where everyone comes out at their best. Mrs. Lackson has really made it an elite event, the haute couture and expensive vehicles are the show-offs that go with such events. It is no different in Human Town when prestigious designers display their collections. The prices of the tickets do not lie, a wolf with a regular job couldn't afford to get in. My heart is heavy, I dread the conversation with Alpha Remus. But I can't avoid it, I have to clarify this matter. And if I manage to convince Alpha Remus, this whole matter is actually settled. The man has an overwhelming effect on the packs, except for me everyone believes what he says. I need his help now because my pack is involved in this scandal and a malevolent would soon claim that I am trying to talk my pack out of this. I turn and wal
Proudly I get out of the vehicle and help Drina get out.Our faces are at the same height, smitten we look each other in the eyes, our thoughts are one. This is us when we are fully mated and marked, the Alpha King and Queen arriving at a special event in our pack. And in a few years with a pup on each hand.I take a deep breath to return to the present and resist the urge to kiss her long and deeply. Naughty as Drina is she comes with her face intimately closer to mine, our lips almost touching. At the entrance, dozens of people are watching us, I'm sure this act of my mate has not escaped anyone's attention. Of course not, I can hear them holding their breath en masse as I drape Drina's hand into my elbow with a grin.Elegant as the Queen she is, she walks beside me to the entrance of the hall, her head held high. Her aura screams possessiveness and power, the hallmarks of a Luna Queen. A mix of satisfaction and sadness fills me now, if only we could present ourselves as mates to th
When Erina stands in front of us with her hand coquettish at her side, I give her a standing ovation.Drina immediately stands up too and the rest of the Alphas reluctantly follow my example. On my other side, I see Jace staring at her, full of adoration. Erina smiles blindingly from all the attention she gets and walks back. She appears a few more times, much to the delight of those present. She is clearly a natural entertainer.Several hours later, a radiant Mrs. Lackson mingles with the guests.The orders are in, this event has also turned out to be a financial blockbuster. Her assistants collect the cards with the orders written on them. From the explanation of Mrs. Lackson, I understand that her store will contact the new clients to take measurements and other logistics.At the end of the evening, all models show up on stage.Erina walks in the front, she is the celebrity of the evening. When she stands before us again and gratefully accepts all the appreciation, s
We are sitting at the table in the conference room in the packhouse.Drina sits next to me on the Luna chair, much to the surprise of everyone in the room except Jace. He's grinning like a little boy who just stole from the candy jar. He knows Drina is my fated even though I didn't answer his question a few weeks ago.To my right are the high rankings in hierarchical order.Alpha Remus is right before me, followed by Jace and Cleo, my Head Warrior. Given the issue to be discussed, I also invited an Elder from my pack to join. Elder Antonius looks around with interest, this is the second time he notices Drina in the Luna seat. I'm sure I won't be able to avoid his questions after this meeting.I deliberately kept Clark out of this meeting.My suspicion is with my Gamma and his girlfriend. Clark is now concerned with Remus' family.I look around, everyone stares at me expectantly.“Jace, the issue of why we are here concerns your relationship with Erina. You noticed a lot of last-minute
After Drina's words, there is silence in the conference room.Thoughts go in all directions, although my subconscious had already registered the signals, my brain refused to think rationally. But everything in me is convinced that the two are telling the truth.Alpha Remus now faces Elder Antonius.“Elder, you are wiser in this than me when it comes to life experience,” he states. “Ever heard of a mate bond between a five-year-old and a twenty-plus?” he asks the older man. But judging by his attitude, he is skeptical about this matter.“Well, there are a few cases where this has happened in the past,” the Elder begins. “But there was a reason why the Moon Goddess paired them up early. The mating has a purpose”. He looks at Drina and me. “The fact that the girl is related to the woman next to the Alpha King and these two are not disclosing their mating says a lot. Something is coming up, something great is about to happen. I just don't know if it's positive or destructive. But Midnight
Beta Jace's POVWith Erina by my hand, I walk in the direction of the sports center.I have to say it's quite a relief to be able to come clean to Enrick and now the Council too. Avoiding Erina was eating at me, my mate is still young but demands my attention as the sole claimant. She wraps her life around me, she tells me everything straight away like an open book. She's a brilliant girl, somehow she makes sure we don't get bogged down in a father-daughter relationship. For a five-year-old, that's surely remarkable.But I don't really know much about her.For me, her life begins the day she ends up here in the pack. But I know there is more. When hinted at her life before that, she kept her jaws tight. She never speaks up. All I know is she's part of triplets, but I doubt I'll ever see her other two sisters. And yes, she also mentioned that her mother had just given birth to twins. That statement made me doubt now if Drina is really her mother, as I suspect.No, I've n
Alpha King Enrick von Rudge holds his mate Drina Weiner in his arms as they watch the Royal Jet take off. Their eldest daughter has now definitely left the house. Proudly they watch the Jet leave until it disappears entirely among the clouds. "Drina, I can't imagine a better mate for our daughter. Jace is absolutely amazing, his patience and dedication over the past few years are highly admirable. He certainly makes a great King alongside his Queen". Luna Queen Drina nods."Yes, both are strong personalities that complement each other. Jace is not intimidated by Erina's position, he clearly shows in his actions that she is his mate and belongs to him according to Were tradition. Only in business matters does she have the last word. They are perfect together," she sighs. Drina turns to her mate. "We have twelve more pups in the house before we are finally alone," she informs him. "It will be a while before it is quiet here in the packhouse.
It is a big celebration at two major werewolf settlements around the world. It is the mating ceremony of the daughter of the Alpha King and Luna Queen also the Crown Princess of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves with the Beta of the Midnight Moon pack. Erina is totally herself in the newly resurrected Kingdom that has grown tremendously after family members of the King and Queen reunited and all Lycans live together again. Thirteen years have passed, Erina spent almost half of them with her parents and mate in the Midnight Moon pack. But for the last five years, she had to go to the Kingdom to start her training to become the Queen. During that time, Jace assisted her more often when he could get time off from working in his pack. Erina has now finally turned eighteen.The mating ceremony will be held at Midnight Moon after which the couple will leave for their permanent residence in the Kingdom in Canada. There too, an important task awai
The sky darkens for a few seconds before it brightens again.And then a painful scream echoes through the land. "No, no, no!" Out of the darkness, a man runs toward the Hall but throws himself halfway to the ground and bursts into heavy tears. Everyone turns their eyes from the dark sky to the man who is in deep grief. Some warriors walk toward him uncertainly and stand before him, waiting expectantly. "My King! You executed my mate!", Andre cried. "I could have made it all right. Erina is safe". Drina and Enrick now run toward Andre. But before they reach the man, Jace is already there helping him to his feet. "My little mate! Where is she? Is she all right?" "Andre! My pup! Please, where is she? We must have her here. Where did you bring her?" exclaimed Drina now. They surround him and fire all kinds of questions at him. "Alpha King! Alcina has done so much evil. As her mate, I have tried to neutralize any harm she planned.
The way is cleared for the King and Queen to take the stage.Behind them, Jace and Cleo carry the unruly Alcina. All eyes of those in the Hall are now focused on the pups. Six pups with a weapon pointed at Alcina. Once the new arrivals enter the stage, a warrior quickly arranges a seat for the Queen with the twins back in her arms. "Midnight Moon, I am King Arthur and this is my mate Queen Florence," Drina's father introduces himself. "Right now, more important is rescuing Erina, my eldest grandchild. Alcina here is responsible for her disappearance. This will not stay unpunished. And since I'm the highest authority here, I am charged with her trial," he confidently states. "Bring her forward!" he commands. The two men drag the skinned Alcina before the King.No one recognizes the beautiful, groomed woman who used to hang out in their pack for several weeks. The clothes on her body are dirty and torn, and there is only one shoe on her foot.
"Alpha Enrick, we need to get to your pack. We must trial Alcina in public".King Arthur's voice boomed through the forest as his eyes fixated on the witch who could barely hold herself together. Still impressed with the pups, Enrick nods. Beta Jace and the Head Warrior now take Alcina back all the way while the pups keep their weapons aimed at her. "Alcina, you are played out. For years we have tolerated your misbehavior toward the Kingdom after you misused your talents to destroy it. And now that you have committed the first move to your doom, the way is clear for my family to seek justice," the King growled. Except for Cleo and Jace, they all shift again, the pups climbing back onto the backs of their grandparents. Within minutes, they are in Midnight Moon, where Alpha King Enrick is calling an emergency meeting for his pack. He, too, is curious to see how this will all turn out. Drina called her parents the King and Queen but he doesn't quite underst
"I told you that you will find out everything when we get Erina back," Drina declared timidly, looking anxiously at her mate. "But I believe they are on their way with the King and Queen. They are out for revenge against this bitch here, they won't make it easy for her. I told you already, Alcina, you made the wrong move". The witch stares at her, full of fear. "I swear, I didn't know who Erina was. You must believe me," she exclaims with clattering teeth. "You should have kept your paws off her! She's an innocent child!" growls Jace at her. "I could break your head for this, stupid!" he exasperates. "Enrick, I think we should really leave all explanations about the pups for later. Freeing Erina is a top priority right now". The Alpha King controls his wolf with all his strength, Jax demands answers about his pups. With a final reproachful glance at Drina, he beckons Jace to ride on. Alcina gives directions to a cave where she said have left the girl. All the way, she re
Enrick and Jace stare at her speechlessly."Drina, did you say OUR daughter?" stutters Enrick as he walks toward her. He grabs her by the shoulders and shakes her gently. "OUR daughter? Baby, what have you done?!" He swallows several times and stares at his mate. Jace also gapes at her, rooted to the ground. "Enrick! Can we postpone this conversation? Our daughter is in danger. That bitch you're housing here has drugged her and is holding her captive!" she exclaims impatiently. She grabs his hand and pulls him into the packhouse. Like a zombie, Enrick lets her carry him like a little boy by the hand, barely able to process the information he has just had. For years he has longed for a family with his mate and now he hears he has four daughters. He doesn't know whether to be happy about this news or angry at his mate for keeping this important matter from him. But Drina is correct, the most important now is to free Erina from the hands of the evil woman in his house.
Fast as the wind Drina shifts into the Lycan she is. It takes her less time to get to Midnight Moon's border. This time, not an ordinary white wolf but one who has advanced to Lycan stands before the border patrol. They don't recognize her right away, but the authority she exudes urges them to drop to their knees with their heads bowed. Lycans are superior to ordinary werewolves and the men have no choice. Jace is on patrol tonight, when he faces the Lycan, he immediately recognizes Drina."Luna Queen!" he exclaims, his head bowed, his neck bare. "What happened? You're a Lycan!" he observes in awe. "And I sense your anger." Drina shifts back into human form. The energy now radiating from her is scorching. "Jace! This bitch caught Erina. When was the last time you saw the little one?" she asks the Beta. Jace's face falls instantly into stress. "Several weeks ago. She rejected me and left the pack. I haven't seen her since. I wrote her a letter at the beh
It Is TimeSomewhere on a desert islandA soft cry echoes in a bedroom. With a sigh, a sleepy mother shoves aside the covers on the bed and walks over to a crib. She picks up a pup who, feeling his mother's warmth, immediately stops crying. He looks up to his mother and starts to giggle happily. "Sweetie, don't cry. You know I'm never far from you. I had to get away for a while to show someone her boundaries. But here I am again," she whispers to the little man in her arms. The beaming pup extends his arms to her, grabbing a strand of her hair. The woman holds him to her neck, knowing that if he breathes in her scent, he will go back to sleep peacefully. Quickly she puts him dry pants on and takes him back to his cradle. Then she walks over to another pup in a pink decorated crib. She was awakened by her twin's crying but quietly waited until her mother was ready to give her full attention. "Hey sweet Princess. Have you been waiting a long time for me? Come let me f
