~Anna~
The big white spot of light coming from the flashlight lit the way. Here we were, walking back out into the woods, into a secluded area that was reserved for the Head Gamma. It was where my father and I resided before he passed away and I was taken to the mansion to live the rest of my days, serving the pack. I was forbidden to return to our house, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to, the place was too special for me.
I hadn’t seen it for two years, and with every step we took, we were getting closer to it. I prepared myself for this day but knowing I’d have to face the past as soon as I step foot inside the house made an uneasy feeling rise in my stomach. In a way, I was glad I didn’t have to do it alone; my best friend was with me.

~Anna~His hand held mine tightly; warm, just like before. To admit, it did feel right to be around him. From this simple gesture, I had to stop my facial muscles from smiling. Goddess knew I wanted to. Seeing him sulk like a child was just so out of character, it was a little cute.His hold brought back the butterflies in my stomach, and the weird tingles that only his touch could awaken. There was no denying it – he really was my mate.This was surprising, especially to someone like me! Getting mated to an Alpha – lucky! Getting mated to two Alphas – the Goddess must be planning something for me. This mate thing sure changed the direction of my life completely.There were two things I was certain of for now – I wante
~Anna~“This is my home,” I said proudly.I was born and raised here. All my years I had only known a life that revolved around here. Though it was all about to change, I would still consider this my home, not this pack, not anymore, but this house which bore witness to my Father’s life, my Mother’s, and mine.There was no going back in time to relive those moments. Nostalgia lingered in every corner of these four walls, but it was still home. I refused to merely call it a house.“If you say so,” he said. “There’s really nothing here but us and posts with walls and a roof.”“That’s called a house. It means more to me than that and I would like to leave now,” I snapped and ma
~Flynn~I had to hurry. I know I’d been the biggest asshole to Anna that she’d probably never forgive me, but it gave me hope – what we did and how she stood up for me.Goddess, she’s brave.My father, her father - they saved her that day from the attack. I knew it, the entire pack knew… but it was hard on us to accept that they were gone.And… I was blinded by my own anger that I took it out on her. The whole pack blamed her for it and shunned her. If they were alive right now, they’d be ashamed of what we did.All I wanted was to make him proud; all these years I failed him, as a son, as an Alpha.
~Liam~No words could describe howrelieved I was that she agreed to come to my pack. I didn’t give a fuck aboutthe conditions, but I did intend on following her “rules” for now. It’d be a lotof fun playing with her once we get back.We left the house and I asked her for directions on wheremy men could meet up with us. She was shocked to hear that I had alreadyprepared for it, but guided me, nonetheless. I wasn’t allowed to get close toher but having her near me was enough, for now.“So…uhm… you’re really alright with me being wolf-less?”she asked, again.Ever since we left the house, she kept asking me the samequestion after every ten minutes or so
~Liam~My mate and my sis engaged in a conversation between them. I wished I could see her face. She seemed to be more relaxed with Lexy. I guess that was normal – she saved her life.We soon reached a dirt track road, and three black SUVs were parked, waiting for us. Three of my men, all of them wearing casual clothes, were standing in front of the driver’s side.“Gale!” Lexy exclaimed the moment they came into view.The kid standing in the center who looked to be in his early twenties, with reddish-brown hair accented with pink highlights, smiled and waved to us. He walked over to us and stopped in front of Anna.“Luna,” he said with a wide grin on his face. “I’m glad to finally meet you. I’
~Liam~“You got lucky,” Gale said as he drove.“The Goddess mated her to me,” I replied. “Luck has nothing to do with it.”“If you say so. Have you told her about her yet?”“No.”“What? Didn’t have the time?” he asked. “You’re going to break her heart, man.”“Break her heart? Have you been watching those films again?”“Like I have a choice,” he muttered. “She shut you up good though, that’s a first for a long time now.”The one person who could instantly calm me down when I snapped was my first mate. She was a kind soul, and she wouldn’t let me end up in situations that I’d later regret. My light – she was taken from
~Anna~So, we were finally here in hishome, the Red Claw Pack. The car we were following pulled over and so did we,in front of what I would describe as a castle-like mansion! The gray stonewalls of the exterior coupled with the white window casings of the tall glasswindows and light blue-gray shingles gave off an air of elegance and style. Myeyes widened slightly at the sight of his abode which was bigger than back atmy old pack.I turned to him and blurted, “You live here?”The smile on my face disappeared. He was looking aheadwith a serious expression on his face, not answering me. Gale wasn’t saying athing too and that was when I realized that the atmosphere had suddenly gotte
~Anna~ I blinked a couple of times as my mind tried to understand the sight in front of me. She was clinging to my mate, the man who had just kissed me and told me that I was his Luna. The man I just made a promise to be worthy of. And he was letting it happen.They appeared like long time lovers, completely comfortable in their public display of affection, and I couldn’t look away. I could hear her giggling, and they seemed to be engaged in a conversation, in their own world. And I felt a pang in my heart.“I’m sorry,” said Gale, and I replied with a hmmm.“He has no choice,” he said.Liam started to walk towards the castle with her still clinging onto him, and I remained frozen in my seat as I watched them disappear past the t
