Alessia’s POVEverything was ready for the ceremony. The setup was made. Packs were invited. Elders were the ones who set the date. The Council however was not pleased with this decision. They did not want Ezekiel and I to be together.As Ezekiel gave the counter attack saying that a contract is in equation and no one can go back to the words once signed. So, they reluctantly agreed. I have a feeling that they will try to create problems between us.“You look beautiful” I looked up to find Em entering the room. Coming behind me, she placed her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her through the mirror. She is wearing a peach color gown with a heart shape neckline. “See, I got you something” she presented me a pearl and cubic zirconia earring along with the pendant.“It’s beautiful” I murmured.“Ezekiel asked me to bring it to you as he could not come and meet you” she informed me.I frowned at that “Why?”“It is a tradition in their pack that if the mate’s meet before ceremony, it is ba
Alessia’s POV“Ah” Em screamed as the Lycan jumped upon her. My reflex was immediate as I took in the senses pulled Em aside. In doing so, Ezekiel collided with the furniture and broke it. Turning around, I faced Ezekiel“Ezekiel, calm the fuck down” I placed myself between him and Em. Slowly I approached him. His eyes were dark. His Lycan wolf was magnificent. He was so big that he took up the whole space in my room. As I placed my hand near his face, he nuzzled in it.“Em, leave” was all I had to say to my best friend. I could hear my parents outside along with his as Em closed the door. Amidst all the commotion outside, I did not look back. All my focus was on Ezekiel. He was breathing hard.“What happened?” my tone low so that only he could hear. His ears perked up as he stared at me. His wolf was worried.“I am fine” I assured him knowing there was something that triggered his senses to make him react like that.“Shift” I whispered.He shook his head. I was confused. I had no ide
Ezekiel’s POVHolding Alessia’s hand in my mine, both of us walked arm in arm and entered the back lawn where the party had started in full swing.Dad and mom went upon the stage. Alessia’s parents were already up there.“Everyone, may I have your attention please?” Alpha Alex took the mic.Alessia and I stood near the stage so that we can go up without any hassle.“Today, we have gathered here to celebrate the union of thunderstrike coven pack and midnight shadow pack” I could feel Alessia’s nervousness as she listened to her dad. I squeezed her hand in assurance. There is nothing to be nervous about. She looked at me and gave me a smile.“My daughter Alessia has selected Ezekiel of thunderstrike pack as her chosen mate. This union is to celebrate and give them reigns as the Alpha to lead our packs”“So, let’s welcome Alessia and Ezekiel to start the ceremony” “You ready?” I murmured in her ear. She shivered as my breath fanned her cheek.She took a deep breath and gave me a nod. B
Alessia’s POV“Ah, I knew I would find you guys here” We were just having dinner when I heard a very familiar voice. I turned around and stood up seeing it was Alpha Trevor. After our last meeting, I spoke to dad about Alpha Trevor. He asked me to follow by his rules and make a good impression. He is also the son of the council and the head of the Lycan werewolf’s.“Alpha Trevor” I greet him with a handshake.Ezekiel does the same, followed by Knox and Liam.“Can we have a talk?” he looked at me with a serious face.“Sure” Both Ezekiel and I shared a look and followed him to the pack house. Dad and mom saw us as we passed by them but did not bother following us. I guess this talk is only for Ezekiel and I.“What do you think is going on in his mind?” Ezekiel whispered in my ear as we walked side by side. I shrugged my shoulder in response “I guess we are going to find out” We reached the pack and Alpha Trevor straight away went towards the office. He walked as if he knew the place
Alessia’s POV“What happened?” was the first thing I asked as we reached the area. Apparently, it was an attack by the rogues on our pack children’s. I watched the mother wailing as she held her child.“Sara was playing with her friend. I think the rogues lured the children near the far end of the woods” one of the guards replied.“Who was on patrolling duty?” my voice was too calm. I was so angry right now.“It was us” Few guards came forward.My eyes narrowed into slits “Why did the rogues enter the pack grounds undetected?” They looked uneasy under my scrutiny.“I asked you guys something” I snapped. They moved back with fear.“It was the shift timing. We had reached the spot when this happened” one of them was brave enough to reply.“Where are the others guards who were on duty before you?” Ezekiel inquired.“They had left even before we reached” the other one replied.“I see” I clicked my tongue.“Call them here right now” I was this close to losing my calm and punish them. The
Ezekiel’s POVWe went back outside “Did Irene and Fabian leave?” dad inquired.“Yes, they left just now” I replied.“So, what is your plan next?” Alpha Alex looked at me and Alessia.“We have sent the bodies to the pack clinic. They will have the reports by tomorrow morning” I informed him.“That’s good”“What else did you find out?” he asked.“We found a doll and car. I think they lured the children into the woods by showing them the toys” I added.“What is your plan next?” dad inquired. I looked towards him.“Alessia will be going to meet Ava as she is the head of the female werewolf’s”“Alpha Jeremy’s mate?” Mom looked at me.“Yes, the very same” I nod at her.“I will be meeting the other packs and find out where the most attacks are happening. We have to make a team and work on the rogues project” I stated“Tell us if you need any help” dad said to me where as others agreed with him.“We will” I nod at him.After that, I turned to Alpha Alex “I would like to take my mate to my pac
Ezekiel’s POV“I meant I will be sleeping in the second master bedroom. You can keep yours” She looked so casual as if it was nothing.“What the hell do you mean you will sleep in another room?” My tone came out harder than I intended.She turned to face me “We will not be sleeping in the same room” she muttered.“There is no way I am allowing you to sleep somewhere else other than our bed” I glared at her.“You cannot force me” she glared right back at me.“Do you even hear yourself?” I was understanding why she had taken this decision. But for the life of me, I cannot be so patient when she is making decisions on her own without my opinion.She folded her arms in her front which made her breast look fuller. I snapped my gaze away as I did not want to be distracted“Yes, I do. And my decision is final” she stated.“I won't allow it” I shook my head at her.She narrowed her eyes at me “You don't have any right to stop me”“I am your mate,” I snapped.“If you are really my mate, you wo
Alessia's POV“Ms. Romano, here is your dinner” Mark bought me my dinner for the third consecutive day. To say I was upset could be an understatement.Ezekiel has avoided me like a plague and I am at my wits end. I have no idea how to make him understand why I am like this. He is my mate. Shouldn't he understand my reasoning?“Did Ezekiel have his dinner?” I asked him.“Master, has not yet returned from his field trip. Once he returns, former Luna makes sure he has his dinner before going to bed” he informs me.“Thank you” I smiled at him and closed the door after taking the dinner.I am sure Ezekiel has put his mom to work in sending me all the meals. It feels like I belong here. Seeing them caring for me despite what I did to their son, makes me feel they understand me.I decided to wait for Ezekiel. From the past two days, when I messaged him, all he replied was to lock the door and that he was not returning.I understand he is upset but he could at least man up and talk with me f
Alpha Ezekiel’s POVMy heart stuttered as I heard council Irene questioning my position. It was a direct attack to my leadership.“If it has anything to do with my behavior today with Oliver, I don’t think it is right. It is against werewolf Lycan community” I muttered.“We are not questioning your mate bond and we never did. You have always stood by what you deemed right and protected Alessia in your own way. That’s not why we are questioning your position” Irene started. The atmosphere in the room dropped a notch. It was tense. So tense, that we could actually hear each other’s loud heartbeat. Or maybe it was just mine and my mate’s. as for Irene and Fabian, they have nothing to be nervous about.Their position is not being questioned so their heartbeat won’t increase. And with that cold realization seeped in. I realized what Alessia was trying to explain to me just a few minutes back.“You as an Alpha should know better than to have a scuffle outside where the pack members are wat
Alessia’s POV“What are you staring at?” snapping out of my thoughts, I turn around to face Ezekiel.“Done with the meeting?” I asked instead. He raised his eyebrows at me as I countered his question with one of my own. Something he is not used to.“Yup” he replied as he came and stood beside me near the window.“What were you staring at?” he changed the question this time. Letting out a sigh, I replied “Falcon visited me” I informed him “Wasn’t he at your parents house?” I could here the confusion in his voice.“Just few minutes back, dad gave me a call saying that Falcon left. I guess he wanted to see me one last time before flying away to where he belongs” I replied.“You are upset” he pointed out.I finally turn to face him “I am not upset but troubled maybe” I repliedPlacing his hand on my waist, he pulled me closer to him. I could not resist and sought his warmth. He pressed a kiss to my temple“Does that make you feel better?’ he murmured.“A little bit” I mumbled. My voice
Alessia's POVOnlookers at the cafe were startled with the sudden fight that broke out in the cafe. Some children started crying in fright. During the fight, both of them pushed towards the window with force. It led to them breaking the window. I gasped and followed them outside. At first I let them have it out as I have full faith in Ezekiel.When people started gathering outside, I had to intervene.“Ezekiel stop” I pulled him back with force. He was breathing hard. I checked Oliver and saw Ezekiel surely did a number on him. “Next time, you better watch your tongue or I will make you unable to talk” I warned him. Oliver fumed in anger whereas Ellie looked shocked.“Let's go” holding Ezekiel's hand, I walked out of the place with our head held high.Once we got inside the car, I turned to face him “Are you okay?” Ezekiel looked anything but calm at the moment.“Baby” I placed my hand on his arm.He snapped his head in my direction “I am fine” he grits his teeth“Ezekiel, Oliver is
Alessia's POV I asked Ezekiel to send the diet plan to Alpha Melanie as soon as we reached the pack.Mark followed us inside after we reached our home. Ezekiel went to get fresh as soon as we entered so that I could speak with Mark. The level of understanding Ezekiel has of things, and the maturity he shows is something manh envy about him. He knows when to make himself scarce and does not interfere in my matters. That's what I appreciate the most about him.“Yes Mark, have you got the information?” I looked at him.“Here are the details about Alpha Jeremy” he passed me the file.“Thank you” I smiled at him.“You made sure right that no one knows about you keeping an eye on him?” I had specifically made it clear for him to be very careful. I don't want to cause Luna Ava any problem at the moment.“I was discreet in following him around. He is a womaniser and treats women very badly. I was shocked with some findings. I hope it will help you” he informed me pointing towards the file.
Alessia’s POVReaching the pack for dinner as I had promised, I entered our house. Ezekiel was watching some crime thriller on tv.“You are back” he smiled at me and did a double take when he saw the hawk resting on my shoulder.“Yup” I smiled back at him.“So, this is the one whom you rescued today?” Ezekiel asked as I settled down beside him on the sofa.“Yes. I found him on our territory. Once he is fine, I let him go in the nature where he belongs to” I murmured.“Good” Ezekiel tried to touch it but instead of accepting the gesture, falcon the hawk, pecked its pointed beak on Ezekiel’s hand drawing out blood.“Falcon” I chided him with a glare. “You, okay?” I turned my attention to Ezekiel.“Yeah” Ezekiel is full-blood Lycan so he healed fast.“He does not seem to like me” Ezekiel muttered as he stared at the Falcon who was now sitting near our living room window after I glared at him. He has quiet an attitude.“He is cautious of strangers” I corrected.“I guess so” Ezekiel turne
Alessia’s POV“Woah, what have we got here?” dad looked up the moment, I entered the office.I smiled “I found it injured on the pack territory. The vet has checked it. Once it is healed, I will let it fly back to wherever it came from” I explained.“Red tail hawk is rare to find” dad murmured as he tried to pet the hawk. That hawk looked at dad with its deep curious eyes. “There, he is not going to harm you” I pat it softly. It seems to understand me and relaxed when dad touched it.“It looks mesmerizing” dad commented as I took my seat and placed the hawk on the table.“How is everything going so far?” I asked as I took the reports from dad.“So, there was no foul play. Those children were truly attacked by the rogues” I muttered not pleased with the reports.“What happened about your meeting with the female Alpha’s?” he inquired. I explained everything that went down during my meeting and that from tomorrow I will be training these packs.“Alpha Sarah should not have attacked you
Alessia’s POV“That was a long day” Ezekiel muttered as he sat down on the edge of the bed.“You can say that” I let out a sigh.“So, how are you feeling?” he asked me.“I am feeling fine” I replied.“Do you think the curse is vanishing now that you have started healing?” he asked which I had been thinking since I woke up. “That thought did come to my mind, but I don’t know” I shrugged my shoulder in response.“I wish we had some way to find out” he murmured in a sad tone.“Hey” I held his hand.“Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine” I assured him.“Hope so” was all he murmured.“What actually happened today?” he asked me.“Alpha Sarah was not ready to merge the packs. When I said that it I necessary, she said that I am a new Alpha and have no idea about taking care of pack”“So, you challenged her” he guessed it right.“I asked her if she is questioning my ability and strength, she said yes. That’s when I challenged her” I explained what went down at Luna Ava’s house.“You wo
Luna Ava’s POV‘I cannot believe it’ my heart constricted at the thought that he is here alive.“What, how?” I looked at him. Everything seems to fade away in the background. All that I could see is him. He is here physically alright.I walked up to him and touched him. I gasped when I realized that it is not just a figment of my imagination. That he is truly alive.“I don’t understand” I murmured.“Ava” he finally spoke and that’s when everything came back to me. The way I had fought against Jeremy to let me see him once. The aftermath of speaking up. Those painful days. My heartbreak and bleak life I lived.“Guards, go and patrol the borders. Make sure none of our pack members wander off too far in the woods” That’s when I snapped out of my daze and looked around. We have audience.Once the guards had left, now it was only me, Alpha Alessia, Alpha Ezekiel, Alpha Violet and Mi… I stopped. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that he is alive and standing in front of me. So many ques
Alessia’s POVI woke in an unfamiliar room.“Cherie” I snapped my head towards the sound.“Baby” I smiled at him.Without saying a word, he engulfed me in his arms. I let him hug me knowing he must have been worried. After sometime he moved back and gave me a concerned look.“How long was I out?” I asked.“Around twenty minutes or so” he replied in barely controlled anger.“I am fine” I squeezed his hand in assurance.“You were not waking up. Do you know how that makes me feel?” he snapped.“Why did you agree for the challenge with someone who don’t follow any values and rules?” he went on throwing questions one after the other.“What if something happened to you?” he snapped. I know he was not angry at me but at the situation that we are in.“Nothing happened” I said.He scowled at me “This is a serious matter. We need to call the council. This behavior is unacceptable” he shook his head at me.“Alpha Ezekiel, I know Alpha Sarah should not have attacked Alpha Alessia like that. I hop
