Hera's Pov A beautiful field of lavender had grown since the last time I was here. Selen, even in death you still do beautiful things. I sat beside the small red brick that was covered by the flowers and dirt, the only reason I found it was because I placed it there. It served as a headstone for the one that created it.My lips moved into a small smile as the memory of Selene's stunned then proud face on the day she created it appeared in my mind.She had burnt her hand in the process but she smiled and said it was worth it.“Selen. I'm sorry, I've not come to visit for too long. A lot of things have happened, Antonio is dead. Unfortunately, he took some people with him but we were able to save more.”I dusted the dirt off the stone with my fingers, wondering if I should pull out the flowers around it or not.“The children are all big now. Somehow, Liam is with me. Yes, I didn't talk about it with you beforehand but I know you'll approve. Leila is a mom now, she's got twins and they'

Leila's Pov Things have been a whirlwind recently. Everyone was busy or caught up in something, it has been a while since we sat down together to relax not to talk about the packs welfare.The move had gone smoothly. As expected, some people had decided to stay behind. They were mostly elderly that were bound by memories the land held. Some of their family members bound by duty decided to stay with them.Sonia didn't come with us.She did apologize before we left but fortunately, she didn't try to build any relationship or try to force a conversation. I have moved on from the past but that didn't mean that I wanted anything to do with it. Ash did follow, he pledged his loyalty to Xander but I think he's actually loyal to Hera. So far, he's been nothing but a great help but I was still watching. My trust was something that was hard to earn now“Hey Luna!” Grey shouted from the door. I smiled and waved.I watched him walk towards me. The limp was almost non-existent by now and his wolf

Xander's PovI lifted my stunning mate into my arms and made my way to our room wordlessly. I really only wanted a kiss at first but teasing her felt really good and the next thing, she was rubbing her body on me like she was in heat.Luckily, no one interrupted us and I reached our room. Leila slid down my body, I swallowed a groan at the feelings she evoked with that move.“On your knees baby.”Watching her, I calmly studied my body. There wasn't any symptoms of my rut coming, neither was I in rut at the moment. But for some reason, all I had in my head were thoughts of keeping Leila on my cock, filling her with my pops and killing anyone that looked at her in a funny way.My thoughts died at the sight of Leila on her knees, her pretty eyes staring hungrily at my cock and her pink tongue coming out to trace her lower lips before disappearing.Goddess, she was stunning.She blinked and looked at me, probably feeling the weight of my stare.“You're the most beautiful creature the Godd

Leila's Pov I stood beside Xander, sending waves of support through our bond. This decision was difficult for him to make but it was the right one.Due to my powers and Marenza’s skills, healing has been a rapid process for everyone here. The food issue was getting better because everyone was pulling their weight and the general crowd looked a lot better than they did a few days ago although malnourished looks couldn't disappear in a matter of weeks.“Good morning,” Xander greeted and the small sounds seized.“Antonio is dead.” The pack froze, their disbelief clear on their face and so was their hope and relief.“I know that it's too soon to ask this but there's no need to be overly cautious or scared. Things will only get better from now on.”It started from a sniffle, it was easy to hear the sound coming from my right in the silence. Soon, the air was filled with crying and wailing from the pack, words of gratitude were also in the mix.“No,” Xander sighed and fell on his knees stu

Xander's PovThis whole ordeal has been stressful on my mate. It was obvious in the amount of weight she had lost but that won't last for long.Her squirming drew my gaze down to her body, sun rays filtered through the curtains and landed on her face. She hadn't opened her eyes but I could see her moving them.Smiling at her cute antics, I gently tucked her into the safety of my chest, away from the sun. She relaxed moments later and I went back to my thoughts.There's lot to be done concerning the packs. I had three packs under my control and moving them to one location is too risky. Most of them won't be comfortable moving from all they know especially Antonio's pack. We may have rescued them but that doesn't mean that they trust us. There's also the probability that some people actually liked his reign and harbour some resentment against us.Leaving them as they are would mean that the people I have come to recognize as family would be separated. I don't think my mate and I are rea

Leila's Pov The surprised expressions on everyone's faces confused me. I'll ask Xander later, for now, Grey was tired. It was very obvious but his effort in hiding it was applaudable.I also didn't miss the look between him and Damien that I walked in on.“Alright. I'm satisfied with Grey's alive state. Let's give him chance to rest. Hera apply whatever you need to and Damien watch over him till he falls asleep.”‘Meddler,’ Lea accused.‘Like you aren't curious about the relationship between them.’‘I admit nothing.’Xander smirked, “you did good today Damien. Don't forget to also get some rest.”“Yes Alpha.”“The concoction isn't ready yet, give it an hour or two,” Hera said. “I'll check your bandages then.”“Thank the Goddess,” Grey murmured, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.Xander and I laughed.“You little shit,” teased Hera with a smile on her face.“Don't insult the recovering patient,” Grey pouted. “Didn't your master teach you that?”“My master also taught me a lot

Elena Torres (POV)I pushed my chair backwards, stepped out of the table and walked away."Don't you dare take a step further, how dare you walk out on me while I'm still questioning you," Andrew asked, his voice low and dangerous, he didn't move an inch from his position."I didn't do it, plus I'm done eating so I see no reason to watch this melodrama unfold before me," I responded, folding my eyes before me."You did, you bloody liar. Look at my body now, I'm drenched with this sticky liquid," Selene fumed, pointing her index finger at me in accusation."Well you could have thought of that before emptying the whole content on your body unless you are just a fool," I smirked, now I see the card she was playing.Why was she so dump? Trying to make me look bad for no reason, well obviously because of this person beside her."I swear, you are going to suffer the consequences of your actions. Just pray nothing happens to my baby because I won't forgive you," tears suddenly pulled up in h

Andrew Kane (POV)It was past nine in the night when I finally returned home from the meeting. Placing more securities in place if necessary while others offered their opinions on how to solve the issue. The name of the pack in question remains anonymous as I did this."Thank you for creating time for me despite your busy schedule. It makes things easier," Selene said, her lips curving into a deep smile. A smile that I'm used to until Elena came along.I nodded in response as we matched towards the main house, side by side. "Is everything okay with the pack because these days everyone seems to have one or two going on. I felt left out, like an orange among apples," Selene's voice was low but loud enough for me to hear. The question was obviously directed at me.I stopped at the door as I grabbed the door knob before the guard could help me open it."Nothing is going on with the pack. Just be concerned about your health and the baby. Do not interfere in matters that are of no concern

Andrew Kane (POV)The moment we almost entered the forest, I sensed a shift in the air. It was rigid like I could touch it but Marcus was concerned with catching up with me for a fight. I sighted the giant wolf almost the same size as mine but short.It was a black one with green eyes, it dashed out of nowhere, springing towards Marcus with a death glare in its eyes. I charged towards it quickly before it could get him, flying midair. I slammed hard into it, rolling on the ground backwards."That was close, looks like he's out for hunting," Marcus said, breathing heavily, his hands were on his knees as he observed the intruder. "Doesn't look like his first attempt, he could have sunk his teeth into your neck for all I know. Ignoring the enemy that lies in wait while you focused on me," I growled, my heart hammering in my chest for what could have happened if I didn't see it on time. "He doesn't look like anyone from here and as far as I'm concerned, he will be a good soldier if trai

Marcus Kane (POV)I sat at the beach listening to the waves of the sea as it clapped against the rock of the river bank. The night cold sent shivers through my spine, my skin pricked in goosebumps from my head to toe.The tiny shirt I wore was no match against the cold, as it gnawed at my gut. The sea shines brightly as the moon glared at it from above, leaving its reflection upon the waters.I couldn't think of another place to be after the conversation I had with Selene. It was the first of its kind in years and it was oddly relieving. I don't know how else to handle the truth I've found out today. Selene was heavy with pregnancy and it was just a matter of time before she put to bed. Her big tummy scares the shit out of me, wondering if it was indeed necessary to have a big tummy just to prove a point.My thoughts drifted to Clara, wondering how much she knew about her parents and while elder Rowan had tried to manipulate what I saw at the warehouse.Did he already know it was Cla

Selene BlackthornI sneaked into the kitchen after dinner before the maids could clear the plates. The mistake I made the last time almost landed me in exposing my mother's plan, which would have been terrible for our pack.Mother has drilled it into my soul, that whatever she did was for the pack and the good of everyone. And I knew better than to dance to other tunes. I answered the call before it ended. The number was private. I sigh in relief for putting my phone in silence and on my lap otherwise, it would have aroused the suspicion of the others."Get straight to the point," mother's voice sounded from the other end, cold and unaccommodating.A cold shiver ran through my spine as I held the phone tightly to my ear. Running my hand on my big tummy, beads of trepidation formed under my armpits as I cleared my throat to report to her."I think they have caught on to something, it is not clear yet because it was secured away from outsiders so I couldn't be near there. But it was ob
