To distract Alcina from the topic, I start talking about my future plans with the pack.I suggest that she take a job to use her time wisely. A job will allow her to identify and specialize in the sector that appeals to her most. I also offer her the idea of starting an online blog with her travel stories. Of course, she won't describe us as werewolves living in packs but just a closed community.I promise to keep Clark free to help her with that.I have in mind that my Gamma can keep an eye on her that she really doesn't mention anything about our pack in her journals. Alcina seems excited. “I can hardly wait to get started, Alpha King. Why didn't I think of this all myself?" she exclaims, clapping her hands.When I look at my Rolex, I notice that the evening is progressing.“Shall we go to the lake? I assure you the water is wonderfully warm. You won't know what hit you," I promise her. I beckon the host to bring the bill and pay with my black card. We get up and exit the restaurant
In my bedroom, I change clothes and jump straight into bed.Sleep is not long in coming and I am fully rested when I wake up the next day. 'Jace, don't forget. The meeting tomorrow morning. Be early, I won't tolerate you being late this time,' I warn my Beta in the mind link. Obviously, he's still asleep.After a bath, I get dressed in a shirt and jacket.As I go down the stairs, I run into Clark. “Hey man, good to have you here. Because of Jace, clearly nothing will come of him today”, I sigh. Together we walk to the conference room where a delegation of two packs is waiting for me. These business meetings are crucial for the region. They are more evaluations of bilateral alliance agreements between packs and pack politics. If they are held in Midnight Moon, I personally lead them but outside the pack Jace takes care of them.“Alpha King, you know Jace is out for now. He has yet to recover from the rejection, it is a heavy blow for him”, Clark whispers to me. “Remarkable, actually. H
Have To Find Her Beta Jace's POVI searched for her all night.She seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. And tomorrow she is free from training so she won't be in the sports center either. No one has seen her, not in the packhouse or her apartment, not even at the daycare and training ground where she gives shooting lessons.I've searched all the way through the jungle behind the packhouse, she wasn't there either. And since she doesn't have a scent, it's even harder to trace her. Deep sigh. This is going to be more complicated than I thought. If only I knew where she came from, what pack or area. She never wanted to tell me, no matter how many times I asked her. I'm distraught, don't know where to look for her anymore.I eventually fell asleep in my apartment out of exhaustion.Her absence puts a lot of pressure on my mental health. My wolf, Hunter is already so used to having her safe by our side every night. After swimming and shooting
After Enrick retires to his quarters and Alcina gets used to whatever her business is, I head back to the woods.Erina is no longer in Midnight Moon, that's for sure now. She's gone and I don't know where to go find her. Only the forest can give me any clue. I shift and give Hunter control. We go again for a race just like a few days ago, but now to the southern side of the pack border. Some warriors are watching from a distance, no one tries to approach me when I am in this state of mind.An hour later, when fatigue kicks in, Hunter slows down.Looking around, I see that we have reached a hilltop and smoke rises in the air a few meters further. Someone is there cooking or roasting. We comfortably sit in the grass and watch the rising smoke. This area does not belong to the pack domain, we are at least a kilometer in neutral territory. Humans often camp in this jungle with their families or solo. Walkways are laid out and signpost where danger lurks. Humans are naturall
Andre The WarlockStill Beta Jace's POVI swallow hard.Another fated relationship under stress. “Well, then you can make haste. She's stalking Enrick. We can brush off all the upcoming misery if you can get her along. And then Drina and Enrick can finally start their life together and my pack looking forward to their Luna Queen at last”, I let the warlock know.“Alcina's hatred blinded her. I tried to make her understand that we are mates a few times. But the hatred and urge for revenge are so strong that it paralyzes the mate bond activity. The devil has her completely in his control,” the man sighs. “I've been trying to sober her up for years. But her main focus in life is on Drina and her parents. That's all she lives for. Revenge!”“Andre, you said you saw Erina. Do you know where I can find her? We had a disagreement and she left without hearing me out properly," I ask, almost pleading. "I need to speak to her, it's urgent." To my horror, Andre shakes his head.“You cheated on h
Alpha King Enrick's POVAfter my successful work trip to the new business center, I go straight to my apartment to rest. My wolf is restless, Drina hasn't visited us for several weeks. Jax craves her, her warmth and arms around us. Every night we watch the woods for an hour, hoping she will show up at any minute. But so far, that hasn't happened.And Jace left right after he dropped off Alcina and me at the packhouse.I know that Erina's disappearance is taking a heavy toll on him. I have yet to hear the whole story, he must have done something drastic that Erina rejected him and then left without a trace. She didn't even visit me to say goodbye. They have to solve their problems on their own but the packhouse seems so empty without the little chattering Erina. That girl is the liveliness in the building, mysteriously turns everyone to her will. She has an aura that forces everyone to devote themselves completely to her. And she still owes me a promise.I take a bath and immediately p
'Enrick! Enrick! Ooohh my God!' I suddenly hear Jace shout in panic in the mind link. 'You won't believe this until you see it with your own eyes. Moon Goddess! Come and take a look, check out your window first and then come down." First, I am rooted in my place. But then I run out of the bathroom to my window. And there I see a great sea of flames! The fire is spreading, pack members try to extinguish it with blankets. It's total chaos, everyone yelling at each other. The red Rolls Royce, the same one I drove to Human Town with Alcina for dinner yesterday, is on fire. On the roof of the vehicle, there is a pile of clothes that keeps the fire going. It is all crazy down there! And when I look some distance from the blaze, I see none other than Drina, my mate, standing with her hands militant into her side. Jace stands a few feet from her, shouting orders to warriors. My jaws fall apart. Did Drina really set that expensive vehicle on fire? What was wrong with her? And then sh
Alcina’s POV That bitch Drina has everyone in Midnight Moon at her hand!No matter how hard I tried to seduce her mate, the more he rubbed in my face that he only loved her and no one else. She hasn't been in the pack for the last few weeks, so I thought Enrick must be horny now and easier to lure. I sneaked into his bedroom from my balcony. He was peacefully sleeping on the bed. Fully naked, I lay beside him, hugging him from behind, starting the magic with my hands. But I was so wrong, he woke up instantly and kicked me out of his bed like a troublesome fly.My plan needs some adjustment if I want to reach my goal.Using love as bait won't help anymore, I have to find another way to force a mating with Enrick. I have to think hard, but at this moment, my head is on Drina and the challenge she threw at me. From the faces of the other pack members, I know that if I make a move now, it will not be a battle between the two of us only. All warriors will join her side, I al
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
