FIVE YEARS LATER“Easy there, Oli! You’re going to hurt yourself,” Dana called out as she chased after the little girl running around the house, jumping off the couch and leaping onto the floor.“Let her be, sweetheart. It’s obvious she just wants to have some fun,” Marcus’s voice came from behind as he walked into the living room, a smile spreading across his face at the sight of his daughter.“Daddy!” little Olivia squealed, her tiny legs carrying her as fast as they could toward him.Marcus chuckled, crouching down just in time to scoop her into his arms.“Who’s my baby girl? You are… you’re my baby girl,” he murmured, gently tugging at her cheeks before lifting her up and spinning her around.Olivia giggled, her laughter filling the room as her father twirled her before pulling her close against his chest.“I’m starting to wonder if I’m really her mother. She never listens to anyone but you,” Dana said with a pout as Marcus walked over and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.“Don’t

“Fuck!” Marcus cursed the moment he saw them approaching from the distance, hundreds of wolves, growling and ready for battle.Assemble every warrior we have. We’re under attack, he ordered Aaron through the mindlink, his eyes flashing as he turned to Dana.But to his surprise, she had already shifted into her silver wolf. An anguished howl tore from her throat as she charged straight into the chaos.“Dee, wait…” Marcus yelled, watching her sprint ahead, but she was either too consumed by rage or simply chose to ignore him.“Fuck!” he cursed again, shifting into his wolf form before launching after her, charging straight toward the Frey.Across the battlefield, Dominik watched as she approach, and smiled.His crimson eyes gleamed as she closed the distance, her killing intent rolling off her in waves. Yet he made no move to shift, his grin only widening, as if this was the moment he had been waiting for all along.He had believed marking her would break her… make her weak, restless… d

Marcus’s heart skipped a beat, those words resonating in his head. He cupped her face, leaning down he kissed her so tenderly it made her breath catch in her throat.Never had his Iips moved so gently against hers, no Iost or desire was fuelling it, it was an innocent yet loving kiss full of passion and emotion.She kissed him back until she was nearly out of breath.“I love you more, Dee, so fucking much,” he said, smiling at her.Dana’s cheeks went red as she turned to his mark, her heart skipping a beat to see the wound had healed up. In its place was a tattoo of a wolf with a flower on its lips, the mark itself looked like it was shimmering a silver grey. Her wolf, her mark.She traced her finger over it, sending a shiver of pleasure through him."It looks good on you." She said."Oh yeah? Can't wait to mark you too." He said pulling her close, and kissing her neck softly."I know." Dana said wincing. "I’m looking forward to it,”With that, they went outside to join the rest of t

Dana stepped into the surrounding, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it. The energy of the ceremony pressed in from all sides… laughter, music, scents, all blending under the Blood Moon sky.Beside her, Maddie suddenly froze, her fingers tightening around Dana’s hand."My mate.." She whispered. Dana’s eyes widened looking at Maddie who was scanning the crowds. A tall handsome guy with blond hair in a black tailored suit and deep blue eyes stepped towards them, his eyes widening as he looked at Maddie."Mate." He said softly, his eyes flashing when he saw the girls intertwined hands. "Mine." He growled, making Dana pull free and raise her hand in surrender.She was very happy to say the least, her best friend had actually found her mate. She looked at Maddie, who was already grinning uncontrollably, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the man in front of her.“Hi, I’m Ethan,” he said, extending his hand.Maddie’s cheeks flushed instantly. “Uhh… Madeline. Bu

Later in the evening, it was finally time for the ceremony to start. Since it was being held at the Dark Storm Pack, members from various packs had travelled far and wide to attend, all hoping to find their fated mates when the bond finally activated.Dana stood in front of the mirror in Maddie’s house, her long hair curled and cascading down her back. A small braid framed the front of her face, adding a soft touch to her look.She wore a tight red dress that clung perfectly to her slender figure, highlighting every curve in a way that made her look effortlessly stunning.Her eyes were shimmering in a glittery gold shadow and her Iips were a glossy nude. The girls smiled at each other, neither had to say it but both thought the other looked stunning.“So how do I look?” Dana asked, doing a twirl.Maddie, dressed in a white gown that hugged her body perfectly and accentuated her curves, let out an impressed whistle."Ten baby girl!" Maddie said as she too stood up and hugged her mom wh

Dana’s heat lasted for three whole days before it finally came to an end. During those days Marcus never left her side, staying with her even when she fell asleep from exhaustion.And when the pain came back up, they would engage in sex for hours before the pain finally went away.Now a week had passed, and the mating ceremony was finally here, it was being held within their own pack.The weather outside was cold and grey mirroring the mood within the Alpha’s mansion. Breakfast was tense, even the delicious smell of Laura’s cooking couldn’t lighten the mood. Noelle sat there, a pout on her face, looking between Marcus and Victor. Neither had spoken to the other since the incident.She wished they would set their pride aside and put an end to this ridiculous tension."So… how are preparations for the ceremony going?” Laura asked carefully, looking between Marcus and Dana."All ready, just waiting for the ceremony to start." Dana replied flatly playing with the scrambled eggs on her pla

“Thanks for bringing me out tonight babe, I can’t wait for us to get married this weekend.” Elsa giggled as she intertwined her hands even more with Black while they made their way towards the hall for the event. It was a business dinner to celebrate the opening of one of their branches and she had insisted on coming with him.“Gosh, my phone has been buzzing with so many notifications. Mom told me the pack has already gotten wind of the news. I can’t wait for the weekend to come so we can finally get married.”“Why aren’t you saying anything, Black? I know it’s been a while since we last saw each other but this is what our parents want. You and I will make a great Alpha and Luna. With our pack joining together, your pack is going to become even more powerful, you should be happy.”Black was about to reply when his phone suddenly buzzed. He stopped in his tracks and released his hand from Elsa after which he took his phone out from his pocket. “You’re the worst thing that could ever

Tessa had no idea how long she was out for, but the moment she was conscious again, she felt pains all over her body including a banging headache.She could hear voices around her but her hazy brain was too weak to interpret what was being said.Tessa slowly opened her eyes and was greeted with the beeping sound of the monitor. It took a while for her vision to clear. She took in her environment and realized she was in the hospital room, putting on the pale blue hospital gown. She saw the doctor, standing at the edge of her bed, discussing with two female nurses.He took a glance at the bed and saw that the patient had regained consciousness, then he rushed to her side, feeling her pulse. “How are you doing ma’am?” he asked softly, as though he had done this countless times before.Tessa stirred slightly. It was as though the voice of the middle age doctor had brought her back to reality. The memories of everything that had happened in the last few hours came rushing back to her, and

Tessa was barely standing upright when she felt a hand land across her face.Smack!The force of the slap sent her stumbling backward, nearly crashing into her car.Hot tears instantly filled her eyes and spilled down her cheeks.She stared at the woman in front of her in stunned disbelief.Before she could even ask what she had done to deserve such treatment, Diane—Black’s mother and the Luna of the Black Moon Pack, spoke first.Her large green eyes held nothing but disgust as she glared at Tessa. “What the hell are you doing here?”Tessa’s lips quivered as she tried to speak, but unfortunately no words came out of her mouth. It was as though the shock had stolen her voice.“You bitch, why can’t you stay away from my son?”“You think a homeless omega like you has a chance of becoming the next Luna? Do you really believe Black is going to marry you? You’re nothing but a useless omega. What the hell are you even doing here?” Diane spat, each word cutting deeper than the slap.Tessa fel

“Please, you can’t do this to me. This is my home. You must have the wrong address.” Tessa sniffled, already on the verge of tears. Her eyes already hurt from the amount of times she had already cried today.“I already told you ma’am, we have no business with you. We are only acting on the Alpha’s orders. We were instructed to clear out the place today as another person will be moving in this evening.”“No… no, there has to be some mistake. Black would never do this to me. Look…” she said, holding up the ring on her finger. “Black gave me this ring when he proposed to me a days ago. He and I are getting married… so there’s no way he would do this to me, please tell the other men to take my things back inside. I just need my space right now.”“Look ma’am, whatever relationship you believe you have with Alpha Black, you’ll need to discuss that with him. We’ll only stop if the Alpha tells us to. Other than that, I’m sorry. Excuse me.”Tessa stared helplessly as she watched him approach

Tessa was just about to storm out of the pack house when she spotted one of the pack members walking inside. She quickly recognized him as one of the male wolves who worked in the Alpha’s mansion and immediately approached him.“Is Alpha Black in the mansion?” she asked Jacob the moment she reached him.“No Tess. He hasn’t been around the pack for days.”Tessa frowned. “Are you sure? What about his betas?”“They aren’t here either,”Knowing that was so unlike Black, Tessa unlocked her phone and dialed Black. The call had barely started ringing when the entrance doors suddenly opened.“There he is, Tess,” Jacob said, glancing toward the entrance. “But why are you looking for the Alpha?”Tessa didn’t bother replying and quickly turned toward the entrance. To her surprise, she saw Black walking into the building, flanked by his two betas Liam and Lorenzo, and by his side was a tan skinned lady. She looked like she had stepped straight out of a magazine cover. Not only did she have flawle

Tessa had no idea how long she had been staring at the letter before she finally snapped out of it and slowly lifted her gaze back to Helen.“I know you’ve never liked me Helen, but that doesn’t give you the right to play this kind of prank on me,” Tessa said quietly, staring at her.Helen chuckled, crossing her legs the way she was seated on her chair. “You think this is a prank? Didn’t you see the Alpha’s seal on the letter?”“That’s exactly why this is ridiculous, because I know Alpha Black would never do something like this to me.”Helen let out a short laugh, “why? Because you’re fucking him?” Tessa’s heart almost stopped. How did she know about that?Helen smirked. “Why are you so shocked? Did you think no one would ever find out?” Tessa felt her chest tighten. That was impossible. There was no way Helen could know. She and Black had made sure to keep their relationship hidden. They only met outside the pack whenever she had time off work. The only moments they interacted ins

Amber permaneció junto a la puerta incluso después de que Jessie se hubiera marchado.Tenía demasiado miedo de volver a entrar…Demasiado miedo de quedarse a solas con él.Pasaron diez minutos antes de que por fin reuniera el valor suficiente para regresar al interior.Lo primero que la recibió fue el sonido de unas risas que llegaban desde la sala.Damon estaba de pie en medio de la habitación, con las mangas arremangadas hasta debajo de los codos, sosteniendo una almohada mientras reía a carcajadas, esquivando los ataques de los niños con las suyas.No se parecía en nada al Alfa frío y despiadado que en otro tiempo había matado sin mostrar la menor compasión.Ahora parecía…Un hombre común.Humano.Un padre disfrutando de un momento feliz junto a sus hijos.Los niños vieron a su madre de pie en la entrada y dejaron de reír de inmediato.Jessie fue la primera en hablar.—¿Puede mamá jugar con nosotros también, papi?—Sí, papi. ¿Puede unirse mamá? —preguntó Jason con entusiasmo.Damon

UNA SEMANA DESPUÉS—Dios mío, Damon se ve tan bien cuando está con los niños. Mira lo fácil que les saca una sonrisa —dijo Jessie, con una enorme sonrisa extendiéndose por su rostro mientras observaba a Damon jugar con los pequeños en la sala.Amber siguió su mirada.—Sí, ¿verdad? No puedo creer lo fácil que conecta con ellos. A este paso, hasta se van a olvidar de que existo.Jessie se volvió hacia ella.—Ay, deja de ser tan dramática, Bree. Sabes perfectamente que eso nunca va a pasar. Los niños te quieren tanto como quieren a su padre.Amber suspiró.—Lo sé… Solo me preocupa lo mucho que se han encariñado con él. A este paso, podrían empezar a sugerir que se mudara con nosotros.Jessie sonrió con picardía.—¿Y eso sería realmente tan malo?Amber puso los ojos en blanco.—Sé lo que estás intentando hacer, Jess… y no va a funcionar.—¿Por qué no?—Porque Damon tiene su propia vida que vivir y una manada que dirigir. Y yo tengo la mía… y a los niños, de quienes debo cuidar. Así que no

ESA MISMA TARDEDamon caminaba hacia su coche estacionado cuando su teléfono vibró.Se detuvo y lo sacó del bolsillo.El nombre de Drake apareció en la pantalla.Cinco llamadas perdidas y dos mensajes.Suspiró y le devolvió la llamada.Drake respondió al primer tono.—Hola, hermano. ¿Qué pasó? ¿Por qué no apareciste anoche? He estado llamándote sin parar.Damon suspiró, pero no dijo nada.Había estado tan concentrado en rescatar a Jason que se había olvidado por completo de la reunión con Drake.—¿Está todo bien, hermano? —preguntó Drake al no recibir respuesta.Damon volvió a suspirar.—Sí, todo está bien. Surgió algo y no pude ir.—¿Pasó algo en la manada? ¿Hubo otro ataque? ¿Necesitas que vaya para allá?—No —respondió Damon, manteniendo un tono tranquilo—. No hubo ningún ataque. Ayer secuestraron a Jason.—¡Joder! Eso es mucho peor. ¿Cómo está ahora?—Está bien. Lo rescaté antes de que pudieran hacerle daño. Por eso falté anoche.—Maldita sea. ¿Quién se atrevería a hacer algo así?

PRESENTEDespués de asegurarse de que Jason estuviera bien arropado y profundamente dormido, Damon le dio un suave beso en la frente y salió de la habitación, cerrando la puerta con cuidado detrás de él.Encontró a Amber esperándolo junto a la puerta, con el rostro enrojecido e hinchado de tanto llorar.—¿Cómo está? —preguntó en cuanto lo vio salir, esforzándose por contener las lágrimas.—Ya está bien —respondió Damon con dulzura—. Solo necesita descansar.—Gracias. Si no hubiera sido por ti, no sé qué habría pasado con Jason. De verdad te estoy muy agradecida.—No tienes que darme las gracias —respondió Damon, acercándose un paso—. Jason es nuestro hijo. Haría cualquier cosa por mantenerlo a salvo.—No pensé que fueras a venir —admitió Amber en voz baja—. Después de cómo te traté… esperaba que te enfadaras conmigo o que te negaras a ayudarme. Me alegra mucho que aparecieras.Damon soltó una leve risa.—¿De verdad tienes un concepto tan bajo de mí?Amber bajó la mirada, incómoda bajo

Jason abrió lentamente los ojos y se encontró en una habitación desconocida.Podía oír voces a su alrededor, pero su pequeña mente estaba demasiado débil para entender lo que decían.Intentó moverse, y fue entonces cuando notó las cuerdas fuertemente atadas alrededor de su cuerpo.Su estómago se retorció.Aunque aún era muy pequeño, era lo bastante inteligente para saber que algo andaba muy mal.Miró rápidamente a su alrededor, observando el lugar con la esperanza de encontrar a Jessie o a su mamá cerca.Pero no había ni rastro de ellas.Solo había dos hombres.Ambos vestidos de negro, con puros en las manos, riéndose de un chiste que uno de ellos acababa de contar.Uno de ellos se puso de pie y se giró.Jason sintió que el miedo se apoderaba de él en el instante en que sus miradas se cruzaron.Lo reconoció de inmediato.Era el mismo hombre que había entrado en su habitación y se lo había llevado.Las lágrimas llenaron sus ojos.—¡Mamá! ¡Quiero a mi mamá! —lloró, haciendo que el hombr

Seis horas antesTodo lo que Damon podía ver era rojo.Su corazón latía con fuerza dentro de su pecho mientras se dirigía al coche estacionado afuera. Cada músculo de su cuerpo le gritaba que actuara, que encontrara a Jason.Apretó los dientes, sacó su teléfono y marcó el número de Jake mientras se deslizaba dentro del coche.Jake contestó al primer tono, con la voz teñida de preocupación.—Ya averiguamos…—¿Quién? —lo interrumpió Damon con brusquedad—. ¿Quién se atrevería a llevarse a mi hijo?La línea quedó en silencio durante un instante antes de que Jake respondiera, con un tono completamente distinto.—Nate Martins. Es un profesional. Lo contratan para trabajos como este. Fue desterrado de su manada a los quince años por violar y asesinar a una chica de su misma edad. Desde entonces ha sido un rogue. Acepta cualquier trabajo que le paguen. Gracias a lo que hizo esta noche, también pude confirmar que él fue quien estuvo detrás del ataque contra la señorita Black. Ahora mismo te es

After what could have been forever, the long family dinner finally came to an end.Ashley couldn’t believe they had spent over an hour just eating. Everything felt so surreal. The dinner had been filled with Damon’s stories, including how he had managed to win Victoria over and make her fall in love with him. Victoria had smiled throughout the story, occasionally rolling her eyes at her husband’s exaggerated version of events.But the teasing didn’t end there.Hannah had kept everyone entertained with her playful comments, while Sophie’s soft laughter had filled the dining room throughout the entire meal.It felt so good seeing her little girl smile and laugh like this. To sit there as part of this family and watch the Hales treat both her and Sophie as though they had always belonged was overwhelming in a way Ashley couldn’t quite explain.“Well, since we’re done with dinner, Ashley and I will be leaving first.” Jamal announced once they finished eating and rose on his feet, alread

The Hale dining hall had never felt so alive.The long table stretched nearly the length of the room.Silverware glistened under the chandeliers, crystal glasses sparkled with expensive scottish wine, and the smell of roasted lamp, garlic butter shrimp, and buttery mashed potatoes floated in the air.But the true warmth came not from the food, nor from the glittering decor, but from the laughter.Ashley sat between Jamal and Hannah, watching in awe as the family engaged in lighthearted conversations around her.She had walked into the dinner with nerves balled tightly in her stomach, though she had done a good job of hiding them. She had braced herself for judgment and coldness, but instead, she found herself surrounded by laughter, teasing, and affection that felt almost overwhelming.At the head of the table, Victoria sat in her husband’s usual seat as if she were the head of the family.Sophie nestled firmly on her lap, her eyes sparkling with joy as though she were a prize Victori

Maria’s voice echoed through the silence, shattering the peaceful moment. “Are you kidding me!” she barked, her voice cold as ice. “How is that girl calling you grandma? She’s not even a Hale for fuck sake!”She turned to Jamal, her voice rising with every word. “What’s wrong with you, Jamal? That girl isn’t your child, so how can you accept her so easily?” she paused, her eyes drifting towards Ashley. “This woman has been married before, and yet you still want to go ahead and marry her? Even though she already has a child? How can you be so foolish? Is this how your mother raised you?”Jamal’s eyes narrowed coldly, his hands curling into fist at his sides. “Watch your damn mouth, Aunt Maria, or I swear I’ll be forced to act against you.”Maria’s face twisted into rage. She turned towards Damon. “Brother! Did you hear the way your son just spoke to me? How dare he? Does he think he can talk to me however he wants just because he’s the Ceo of Hale conglomerates?”But to Maria’s shock,

Jamal smiled behind her, gently resting his hands on her shoulders as he leaned closer and whispered, “You’re in luck, babe. You’re about to witness something far better than watching Netflix.”Before she could dwell on it further, Hannah’s voice cut through the room. “Oh no, here it comes. You’re in luck sis, you’re about to see firsthand what happens when Mom goes on a killing spree.”The snide relatives, especially the woman who had started the entire confrontation, were no longer laughing.Maria’s smug expression had completely disappeared, replaced by beads of sweat and darting eyes. She knew the legend of Victoria’s baseball bat.Everyone in the Hale family did. Once Victoria summoned that bat, no one was safe.Damon smiled calmly as he took a leisurely sip of his wine, his eyes settling on his sister. “Maria, you should’ve just kept your mouth shut. Now you’ve made her even angrier than I’ve managed to in the last ten years of our marriage. If you know what is good for you, you

Just when Ashley had finally begun to relax, with Victoria’s hugs melting away the icy fear she’d been carrying since stepping foot into the Hales mansion.And Hannah’s embrace, and Damon’s welcome, reassuring her she wasn’t alone any longer, a mocking voice cut through the peace, dripping with disdain.“If it isn’t the runaway bride.”The voice echoed through the hall, filling the room with anger and contempt. A black haired woman stepped into the view, her nose held high in the air.Behind her were two other women dripping in jewels and lace, their painted lips twisted into mocking smirks.A few other relatives… Jamal’s Uncles and Aunt…. hovered in the background, exchanging whispers and chuckles while throwing glares at Ashley.Ashley’s stomach tightened. Her mind instantly drifting back to the Montclairs and everything she had experienced while there. The sneers, the judgement, the humiliation. For a split second, she was transported to those suffocating dinners where she was scru

Two Days LaterAshley was seated on the passenger seat of the car sneaking glances at Sophie who was seated in the backseat, playing games on her IPad. They were on the highway heading towards Newport coast where Jamal’s parents lived. She couldn’t help but stiffened slightly. She tried not to think about it by looking outside the car window, but every now and then, her thoughts drifted back to the Hales.She had never been to their mansion or met them in person, not when her parents were alive or when her brother had arranged her marriage to Jamal. She only knew them through the news and what she had heard about their family.And now, after all these years… She was finally going to meet them.She didn’t know what to feel or think about it. Would they hate her? Or accept her? Probably not, especially after she had publicly embarrassed their son and their family name by running away eight years ago.As if that was not enough, memories of the Montclairs surged in her mind… the cruelty
