GAMMA HAYDEN.

“Ready for school?” I asked Cassidy.

“Yes, sir,” she answered smartly as I helped her climb into the car and close the door after her.

This was my first time driving her to school as her parents were always the ones doing it and on the few occasions they were not able to Alpha Dominic or Beta Daniel would take their place.

Her preschool was just a ten-minute drive from the packhouse and for some reason, I felt agitated. I was wondering if there was any threat.

Shit! Shirley, Cassidy’s grandmother is human. In case of an attack, I had to protect them both. Why the hell didn’t I take another warrior with me?

Relax, I was just in the territory and we haven’t had any issues in recent years. We should be fine. But knowing I had Cassidy was making me uneasy. Protecting the Alphas’ pups was more nerve-wracking than protecting the Alphas themselves. At least with them, I knew they could fight alongside me.

What the heck? Why was I entertaining this kind of thought? I ch

    Hello, lovelies! I don't have a chapter, but I created a simple list of pack ranks and their families (since it's impossible to upload a chart). However, I have a more concrete chart (not complete yet) in my reader's group, but I hope this will do here. Let me know if I missed anyone since I just whipped it all out based on what I remember and the files accessible to me at the moment. xoxo, Cassandra M ------------------------ ¤¤¤ BLACK SHADOW PACKALPHA: Jacob/Jake GalhartLuna: Absaline Clair Montrell GalhartPups (in order): Jackson/Jace, Catherine BETA: Gavin SalvatorreBeta Female: Alia WIlliamson Salvatorre (Brother: Alpha Caspian)Pups: Tyler GAMMA: Aaron MontrellGamma Female: Janna Marie Galhart MontrellPups (in order): Austin, Davina ------------------------ ¤¤¤ BLUE MEADOWS PACKALPHA: Caspian WilliamsonLuna: Andrea Milton WilliamsonPups (in order): Cyrus & Amber (twins), Evangeline BETA: Paul ThompsonBeta Female: Alba Adams ThompsonPups (in order): Patrick

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   062 - A Beta's Fate, An Alpha's Destiny

    DAPHNE. At twenty-three, I wasn’t expecting to still meet my mate. My family and friends already thought of me as an old maid because female shifters usually found mates as soon as they turned eighteen. As time passed, it became more difficult for females to find their fated mates, so most would eventually choose a mate. It wasn't that having a chosen mate was something to be ashamed of. But having to never meet your fated mate would make you wonder, what if you did? Will everything change? So despite the urge and the pressure from my family to have a chosen mate, I remained single. Not that I was still expecting to meet my fated mate. It’s just that I haven’t found anyone that would take out the what-ifs in my head — someone that would never make me wonder what it would feel like if my fated mate existed. And I’m glad I followed my heart because seeing Hayden today was beyond what I was expecting. I was so proud of how I handled myself out there when all I wanted was to cry my h

    DOMINIC. Hayden sent me a mindlink and asked permission if he could have a day off as he unexpectedly met his fated mate at the preschool. She happened to be Daphne’, Cassidy’s preschool teacher. Daphne moved back from human territory just two months ago after living there for almost five years. No wonder they didn’t meet until today, since today was the first time Hayden was asked to drive Cassidy to school.I knew there were many tasks to accomplish around here, but I would never take this moment away from Hayden. He was the only one left unmated in the packhouse, and at the age of twenty-five, he deserved to finally find the one to spend his whole life with. Besides, I was sure that even if I said no, he would still not show up for work today."We’re home!" I perked up my voice before I tilted my head back to look at the two pups, who looked dead tired sitting in the back seat. I picked up Walker, my five-year-old son, from his three-hour playschool as well as Cassidy from pre-s

    CELESTE. I was already starting to panic. My hand shook as I kept pushing my forearm toward Darvin. I had no idea if this would be the last time I would see him or not. I knew I shouldn’t be entertaining this thought, but as much as I was keeping hope alive in my heart, I knew I was slowly succumbing. I thought I was strong. I thought I was prepared for this. I thought the years we spent together preparing for this moment had toughened me up. But I wasn’t. I will never be ready. Please, God. Please, Selene! Please, not now. Not ever. "Daddy, here…" Cassidy’s voice was firm as she stretched out her arm to Darvin, who was already sipping from my blood. Both our gazes darted to our daughter, who was carrying an expression void of any emotions. She was trying to be tough. She was indeed her father’s daughter. She then raised her other hand, which was holding a bread knife, and sliced a part of her skin just above her wrist. She winced, but it was gone in seconds. "No. No." Darvi

    SOFIA. The moment my phone rang, I immediately answered it, but Celeste was not on the line. Instead, I heard her conversation with Darvin, and the tears just kept flowing again as sobs wracked my whole body. Dominic shook me lightly and told me to focus, and I knew he was right. Darvin needed our full attention. I set aside my own emotions and shifted into my wolf, together with Dominic and Glenn. We wasted no time and sprang forward in the direction they went. Daniel, Lizzie, and Shirley, on the other hand, took a car so they could take a first-aid kit and to make sure we have a car available if we need to transport Darvin. All the time that we were running, I kept sending a prayer to the Goddess to let us make it on time. I was worried that we would be too late. Dominic told me before we ran that he would not wait for me this time. that he would run as fast as he could, and I couldn’t agree more. Someone needed to reach them right away. But I was so proud of how Amethyst was

    DOMINIC. Almost all the Alphas were here. It was a coincidence that Aeon was in this part of the south and was able to come here immediately with Alexa. Only Jacob was missing, but he was already on his way. It was perfect timing that he had recently purchased a private plane, and this was the first time he would be using it to get here in less than two hours instead of the usual 13-hour drive. Even without anyone saying a word, we knew it was time to say goodbye to Darvin’s wolf. Up until now, no one could sense Titan, and Darvin was still unconscious. His vitals were stable, but Glenn told us to prepare ourselves as Titan might not be able to recover anymore. He vomited out large clumps of blood, and we all thought it was a big sign that he would be alright, but it looked the opposite. He might have been too weak when he forced it out, and his body just gave up. Riley had been quiet the whole time. I understood him. Growing up, Darvin and Riley had been the best buddies befo

    TITAN (Darvin’s Wolf). The agony of craving something was excruciating. I was craving blood, but I didn’t want Darvin to shift. It was enough that Darvin was drinking blood from Celeste, I didn’t need to add more to her pain. But the moment I tasted Cassidy’s blood, all control within me snapped. I wanted more. It was too late when I realized that I had forced my way out. I shifted. I was terrified I would hurt my daughter, so I did my best to drink from Celeste instead. But I ended up hurting her too badly while trying to restrain myself from aiming for our daughter. But I lose. I found myself alone with Cassidy. I thought she would be scared, but she wasn’t. She was just as brave as her mother, and seeing how brave she was was all that I needed to be able to control myself from sinking my fangs to drink directly from her. Instead, I contented myself with just licking the blood oozing out from her wounds. And when I thought I had enough to satisfy my craving, I planned to lick h

    DARVIN.I rushed to the suite where Celeste was. Everyone was hovering over her as the beeping on the monitor rang in my ears. Her heartbeat was slowing down.My chest heaved as I looked at my beautiful mate. She was unconscious. Her body jolted every time they tried to revive her. At some point, I saw her being injected with something to pump up her adrenaline. But she wasn’t responding, and her heartbeat kept slowing down.I stayed standing, looking blankly at her.Was this it? My body felt okay as if nothing had happened to me, but if the endgame was for Celeste to go instead of me, this was something I was not prepared for. "No! No!" I shoved the nurse holding her before I felt strong arms stop me from reaching Celeste."Damn it, Lucas. Let me go!" I growled, and I saw the equipment around us shake at the intensity of my voice."You can’t do anything at this point, Darvin! Let them do their job!""They’re not doing it well, or she would have been awake now!" I snapped at him befo

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   AUTHOR'S NOTE

    Lovelies, Thank you for reading this story and for the patience you have shown me as I navigate toward the end. This story was more difficult to write than the rest because I changed so much in this short novel. Someone asked me before if I had changed any of my storylines, and I said no, but it was a lie as I didn't want to give anything away. The truth is, Darvin's story was supposed to end in Aeon's book, and it would pave the way for Beta Dominic's fate. It was the reason I didn't give him too much exposure in Riley's book. But just one POV and everyone shifted from hating him (for putting his sisters to the Claiming) into loving him. And I just knew after reading the love he was receiving that I didn't have the heart to break your hearts again the same way I did with Riley's. So I took on the challenge of rewriting Dominic's plot, and from time to time, I kept changing my mind about where it should go. But after four months, finally we are here, and I couldn't be more thank

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   Epilogue: DARVIN and CELESTE

    DARVIN.Everyone around me applauded as we watched the end of the third fireworks display for the night, also signaling the end of the party.We were celebrating my 40th birthday, and although I told my mate not to make a big deal out of it, I knew this would still happen when you have Celeste as a mate, and Katarina and Sofia as sisters, with their mates who tolerated their obsession to celebrate every milestone of my life.But I was getting used to it, and it made me grateful that after all these years, despite having our own families, the bond I had with my siblings and their mates just kept getting stronger. "Happy birthday again, Darvs!" Kallan came and gave me a big hug before the rest of the Alpha Circle came and greeted me again.We were older now, and despite the many responsibilities on our shoulders, the pack, and our pups growing up, the years had only made us better and our brotherhood more solid."Thank you." I smiled and hugged all of them back before all our gazes fel

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   Epilogue: DOMINIC and SOFIA

    FOUR YEARS AFTER LUCAS AND KATARINA’S EPILOGUE SOFIA. My gaze roamed around the ballroom as Darvin’s 40th birthday was still in full swing. Every important person in his and Celeste’s lives was here. Almost twenty years ago, no one would have thought he would reach this age, so we opted for a big celebration. Although he didn’t want to, he had no choice when there were three females around him, who kept celebrating every year that was given to him. Glenn had confirmed that he no longer had acresia a long time ago, but Celeste, Katarina, and I — we will never forget the ordeal of nearly losing him. So we celebrate year after year, thanking the Goddess for the extended lives she gave Darvin and Celeste. Strong arms wrapped around my waist before my body was pulled back onto a strong torso. Dominic’s scent enveloped me all at once as sparks traveled all over my body. Dominic, even at 37, could still make my knees weak with just one touch, just as he could at 23. The 14 years just

    10 Years After The Union and Luna Ceremony (Midnight Pack)KATARINA.I pecked Jillian, my five-year-old daughter, on the forehead before I placed her down on the floor beside six-year-old Abegail, and they began building blocks from the overwhelming amount of duplos and legos around them before my eyes searched for Ledger and Patrick.I found them at the far end of the pups’ playroom, discussing in a hushed voice as if they were discussing tactics for a great war.I smiled before bending again and this time placing a soft kiss on Abegail’s head before I whispered to her. "I’ll be just downstairs, call on me if you and Jillian need anything.""Yes, Mama K." She answered sweetly before she put her attention back on playing with my daughter.Patrick and Abegail were Paul and Alba’s pups. They were the Betas of the Blue Meadows Pack and had been a wonderful presence in our lives.Ledger and Patrick became good friends and were so inseparable that when Alba told me she and Paul would go aw

    TWO WEEKS AFTER. SOFIA. Another beautiful day. The sun beamed its beautiful rays on my skin as I spread out my arms and tilted my head up to bask in them, letting its warmth and sunshine heal and refresh my soul. I was in the middle of the fields of wildflowers in the meadow at the Silver Moon Pack — the same place Dominic took me nine years ago when I first visited Alpha Riley's territory. We took the pups, Cassidy and Walker, for a play date with Riley and Nadia’s twins, Ara and Nika, and Dawson and Ellie’s twins, Drake and Dustin. Once the kids were settled and being watched over, we decided to sneak and head out here. Life had been nothing but beautiful for me. Two weeks had gone by since that fateful day when we all thought we were losing both Darvin and Celeste. But we triumphed. I underestimated the power of love and friendship, and the ways they could conquer even the toughest mountain. Celeste was given a gift from the Goddess that none of us had encountered in our

    CELESTE. Ever since I woke up, I couldn’t help my pussy from throbbing even at Darvin’s simplest touch. I guess Thea was longing for Titan for a long time, and now I could feel it in my body. The moment the door closed, Darvin’s arms wrapped around me as he pulled me closer to him, my back resting on his chest. He began nuzzling my neck, inhaling deeply before he spoke. "You smell so fucking good, Celeste. Like you’re carrying a more sensual smell today." I ignored his words and went straight to the point. "Will you fuck me tonight, Darvin?" "Are you sure your body is already up for it?" "I have Thea within me. I want to share this moment with her, let her take over at some point if you let Titan out." Darvin bit my neck playfully, making me giggle because it tickled me. "Titan was just suggesting that maybe one day we can let him and Thea take over our human forms. He was gentlemanly, or should I say gentlewolf, enough to wait, but we underestimate how lusty our females are." I

    CELESTE. My eyes snapped open and the blinding lights were gone, replaced by the spotlights hovering over my bed. My body felt heavy at the moment as someone was holding me tightly against his arms. Darvin. My Darvin. The calming scents of pine wood and a citrusy blend of bergamot were swirling around my nose. It was making my mouth salivate, the same way the sparks erupting everywhere in my body were making my pussy wet. This was too overwhelming. ‘Darvin…’ I tried with my mind instead of my mouth because my throat felt too dry. ‘Celeste?’ My body felt warm when I heard his voice, as everything was just sinking in now. Thea wasn’t lying — I could connect with my mate. Darvin’s body above me jolted in surprise before he pulled away and stared at me as if he had seen a ghost. Thea made her presence known by making my eyes dilate into full black, which made Darvin’s mouth drop open until his breathing hitched. Soon, his hands cupped my cheeks as he crushed his lips against m
