Leonel's POV Right after the meeting that took place in the BlueCrescent pack, the largest and oldest pack in the community, Samson, Nile and I agreed on having a drink in Redmoon. We all know we need a drink after spending two hours with a bunch of self-centered, egoistic and arrogant leaders from the other packs. All ten packs gathered in one room, well, minus one that is. It was suffocating and boring. We talked the same old sh*t we're dealing with. Our business with the humans, the safety of each pack, implementing new rules and mostly just them bragging about their packs and what theu contributed to the community. "What's the deal between you and Sean, by the way? The jerk keeps looking your way and if looks could kill, you'll be six feet underground by now." Nile pointed out while we were having a drink on their spacious balcony. "It's not what, but who, Nile. I think Sean used to date Zella. Maybe he's bitter that the woman dropped his ass while Leonel here rejected her
Leonel's POVSamson offered to take Klaire instead but I insisted on carrying my mate. I carried her unconscious body to the infirmary where Pat is already waiting. I didn't care that everyone saw me carrying her. I didn't care that we were entangled in a dating rumor and that I am already set to marry someone else. None of those matter because all I can think about is her safety. I carefully laid her on the bed and waited as Pat studied the bullet wound on the right side of her rib. He then let out a sigh of relief when he carefully pulled out the silver bullet and washed the wound. "Thankfully, it's not that deep, Alpha. It did not damage her organs, and you brought her here in time before the bullet fully affected this side of her body. She must have been moving when she was shot."I let out the breath I didn't think I was holding and even Samson and Josef looked relieved. "I will clean her wound and have her drink a pill that will kill the poision of the silver in her system.
Klaire's POVI lifted my eyelids that seemed to weigh a thousand kilos and winced when I was blinded by the light."Pau, please turn off the light." I asked my friend and moved to turn to my side but moaned in pain instead when I felt a pinch of pain from my side."Uhm, I think it'll be hard to turn off the sun, Klaire." I heard Pau answer and I tried to open my eyes again while blocking the blinding light. What happened to me all came back at once and I sat up, which made me feel dizzy for a second and I felt someone helping me stay upright. Getting kidnapped, almost violated by the rogues, shifting to my wolf and talking to her! I remembered the fight and how Kishna was disappointed and shocked when something hit her. She easily fought the other rogues, but a loud shot was heard. We saw Zella holding a gun before Martina pulled her away to escape. I remember Kishna shaking her head while looking at her wound and saying how pathetic we became and even using our own weakness to gai
Klaire's POVI am avoiding Leonel. I know it's childish and I know we'll have to meet and talk about us eventually, but until I'm ready, can't I avoid him for now?It's been two days since then. My wound is healing nicely, thanks to my wolf's fast healing ability. The time I'm resting, I discovered my newfound senses. My eyes can see things clearly when when they are far away. Even when I locked myself in our room, I can smell what they are cooking in the kitchen and it's located on the mansion. I can also hear footsteps and laughter outside. Before someone can open the door, I'd know someone's there and who's behind it. And don't even mention the strength I now have. If it's my old weak body, I will still be bedridden. It has been two days as well when they told me that Leonel went against the council who ordered him to reject me instead of breaking his and Marsh's engagement. I am torn and it's not helping that my wolf, Kishna, had been silent ever since the night we were kidnap
Leonel's POVThe council and the elders have been strangely quiet for a week now. And you should never be too calm when that happens. Because calmness is usually followed by a huge storm. "It's a beautiful day today, don't you think?" Klaire pointed out with a bright smile on her face as we walked hand in hand. "It is. It's so beautiful and sunny that it's almost alarming.""Come on. Don't be too pessimistic now." I stopped and pressed a kiss on her knuckles. "It's not being pessimistic, my love. It's called being realistic.""Alaska still refuses to come out?" She asked once we started walking again. "Yes, but I can feel him peeking out from his cave every now and then. How about Kishna?"Klaire shrugged with a pout and I found that adorable. "She's talking to me now, but whenever we're together, she will shut me off.""What can we do to fix this and have them reconciled?""It's their choice, Leonel. I can feel that they still love each other, but maybe we should wait until they
Klaire's POVSomehow, I knew our plan would succeed because our intention was pure and because we trust each other. The day before the incident, it was Leonel who suggested it. His instinct told him that the council will make a move soon, and so we decided to make our own move ahead of them. None of us questioned his instinct because Leonel is known to have a sharp instinct.Leonel and I will sacrifice ourselves and we will make the prophecy happen. Anne was reluctant to let go of the book first, but we convinced her that we'll get it back. And Nile and Samson were assigned to make the final move. I witnessed how the weather changed and how the mansion is also affected. I watched silently as what's written in the prophecy happened one by one. We were just not prepared for the lives we lost and my mate almost lost his control and ruined our plan, but he managed to calm himself just in time.The flyers fell down from the sky like leaves and droplets of rain, and we waited for the cha
Leonel's POV"Calm down, will you?" Samson snapped when he finally got enough of me pacing back and forth in front of my wife and I's room. "They'll be fine."I stopped pacing and let out a harsh sigh. "How did you overcome this? It's nerve wracking and I am thinking of millions of scenarios in my head.""That is the point, Nel. Don't think. Trust the doctor with her and trust your wife that she'll make it.""Don't be so harsh on him. After all, this is Klaire's first labor and it's twins."I went to my mother and gave her a hug. "Finally someone who understands me."My mother laughed and patted my back. My parents and I, Samson as well as Klaire's friends are all waiting for the news. It's been ten hours and we haven't heard a single cry of a newborn. I am barely stopping myself from barging in there to know what's happening, but my mom reassured me by saying that it's normal. Apparently as I'm bigger than an average baby, it took them eighteen hours to get me out without hurting he
Kishna's POVI watched our twins who are now five-year olds chase each other while laughing and the sound of their laughter took away the fatigue I have from scouting the area and fighting off three rogues. My heart jumped when Morty fell and I was about to help him when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see my mate who shook his head and pointed at the scene. And we watched in amazement when Ara, my omega daughter who inherited my traits, helped her Alpha brother and even checked to see if he had wounds. "Are you all right, Morty? Let me help you. I blow it too so the pain shoo-shoo."My mate and I stared at the touching scene in front of us and I held his hand while he kissed the side of my head. "They are growing up so fast. Soon, they will be old enough to lead the pack so we can retire." He joked and I elbowed him. "Let them grow and enjoy their youth."It's not every day that we get to experience joyous moments like today. Most times, I have to deal with my own pack

Klaire's POVI frowned and moaned when I slowly regained my consciousness. I felt like my head was splitting and someone nailed it with a hammer. I blinked my eyes open and tried to see, but my vision was blurry. I moaned again in pain and tried to move, only to freeze when I realized that I'm being carried like a sack of potatoes. When I opened my mouth to scream, only muffled noises came out and I tried to fight him off but I can't even lift my arms out. Whatever they used earlier to make me lose consciousness surely messed up with my body. "Looks like the sleeping beauty is awake. It's only been an hour and we still got a good hour back to the site. She shouldn't be awake for another hour."I heard a loud smack followed by a cry of pain. "I told you to use more. Look, she's awake.""Where am I? Let me go." I said weakly and swallowed my saliva, feeling my throat burning. "You can leave. We will inform you of the result." I heard someone say and I tried to see the figure in fron
