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

One Week LaterA heartwarming smile crept to Lara’s lips as she joined Ashley on the balcony, watching as Jamal interacted with Sophie outside the mansion. “He’s really sweet, isn’t he?” she directed at Ashley.“Yes…” Ashley replied with a soft smile as she watched the two of them.A week had passed since the night Caleb had been arrested. Although she really wanted him to pay for everything he did, Ashley had spoken to the cops to give him a lighter sentence. Because at the end of the day, despite everything he had done, he was still Sophie’s father.The court had sentenced him to one year in prison without parole.“I’m really happy for you, sis,” Lara said, pulling her out of her thoughts.“For?”“For finding a man you truly love. Although Tristan won’t say much, he’s really happy for you too,” Lara said.Ashley blushed. “Thanks sis, although I feel like I’m the lucky one here. I ran away from him once, and despite everything, he still didn’t stop loving me.”Lara smiled warmly. “T

The moment Jamal entered Sophie’s room, he found the little girl sitting on the edge of her bed, sobbing quietly.“Daddy,” Sophie called out, her sobs growing louder the moment she saw Jamal.“Sweetheart,” Jamal made his way towards the bed, sat close to her, and pulled her into a long hug. “Please don’t cry, sweetheart, I told pretty girls don’t cry, remember?”Sophie tried to hold back her tears, but she only ended up bursting into more tears. It took a while before Jamal could calm her but he managed to calm her eventually.He pulled away from the hug long enough to look at her face and wiped her tears agay with his thumb.“Why did you do that, sweetheart?” Jamal asked softly, careful not to raise his voice at the little girl he had grown to love so much.“I don’t like mommy again,”“Don’t say that, sweetheart. Your mummy will be crushed if she heard you say that.”“Why? She lied to me about Daddy. She told me Daddy is no more. But Daddy played with me. I like him.”Jamal sighed, t

By the time they arrived at the Beaumont mansion, it was already evening.Lara, Tristan and Raphael were already outside waiting for them.“Hey sis,” Lara said as Ashley stepped out of the car, with Vicky following closely behind.The moment she saw how red Ashley’s eyes were, Lara quickly pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back softly.“What’s wrong, sis?” she asked softly, but Ashley couldn’t bring herself to say anything.“Where’s my baby girl?” Lara asked again after they had disengaged from the hug.Ashley turned to Jamal who was just getting down from the car with Sophie in his arms.“Aunt Lara!!!” Sophie squealed the moment she saw her, jumping down from Jamal’s arms and running towards her.“My loveeeee!!” She picked the little girl up and embraced her in a warm hug after which she showered her with kisses, making her giggle.“You got us so worried, sweetheart. Are you hurt anyway?” Sophie shook her head before looking past Lara and spotting Tristan standing nearby with a smi

The moment Ashley’s eyes landed on Sophie, tears rushed down her eyes instantly.“Sophie!” she rushed towards her, pulling her into her arms and hugging her really tight. “I miss so much honey,” she sobbed, holding her as though she never wanted to let go.“Why are you crying, mommy?” Sophie asked, her voice soft and innocent.Ashley pulled back just enough to look at her daughter’s face. “Mummy’s just really happy to see you, baby… are you okay? Did that bad man hurt you?” she asked, checking her little girl’s face and hands to see if she was hurt anyway.“I’m okay, mama. Daddy took care of me,” Sophie’s soft voice came through, startling Ashley and everyone else around her.“Daddy?” she repeated, wondering if she had heard her daughter correctly.“Yes, mommy. Daddy played with me and gave me lots of ice creams,” Sophie replied, pointing towards Caleb who was still being held by the police.Ashley briefly glanced at him before turning her attention back to Sophie. “You’re wrong, hon

Ashley couldn’t count the amount of times she had glanced outside the window to see if they had arrived in Pearl estate. She would look outside the window, check her phone and then look outside the window again like a headless chicken whose head had gone on a vacation.Jamal noticed her discomfort and reached forward, giving her hands a soft squeeze.“It’s okay, babe,” he said softly, glancing at her briefly before returning his attention back on the road. “Caleb is not getting away. We are going to find him and bring Sophie back.”That seemed to calm Ashley down.She gave a weak smile that didn’t reach her eyes before leaning back in her seat, her gaze drifting toward the passing lights.She glanced at the side mirror and saw Vicky following closely in her car. When they had left the Montclair’s mansion, she had gotten into Jamal’s car while Vicky hopped into her car and followed after them.They were now on the highway, making their way to Pearl estate.She was still lost in though

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
