Weston’s POV One Week Later Boston and I were stunned and angered to say the least after figuring out that Violet had outsmarted an Alpha and his Gamma. Not only that, but she was able to run away! It shouldn’t have bothered me this much, to this extent, but it did. I was growing panicked and more irritable to everyone around me. I began to become a hermit of sorts the past week after I realized Violet was a lycan. I started reading more seriously into lycan’s and their history to figure out what makes them so special. If Violet was a lycan, why were no others from her pack lycans? I know their rarity makes them special in and of itself, but before they went nearly extinct, what made them special? It’s been so long since a lycan was seen that even my history books from school wrote about it! That and the fact that lycans could find their mates before their beast ever emerged. I needed to know what kind of a mate the moon goddess had actually given me. Why did the moon goddes
Weston’s POV Weston, My Beloved, My Alpha, My Mate, I love you more than anything in this world. From the moment I met you, you have done nothing but bring me love, safety, and happiness. I have cherished all the times we have spent together. All of it. The good. The beautiful. The bad. And the tragic. I wanted so badly for our love to grow and strengthen our amazing pack! The moon goddess placed us here for each other with a purpose. I realize now, that I am not meant for this realm any longer and that the goddess has bigger plans for us all. I have failed you my alpha, my mate. I am no luna if I cannot bring my alpha the one thing we desire, and he must have to remain Alpha - an heir. Please find comfort in knowing that you have my blessing and you must produce an heir to protect us all! All I ask is that you please ALWAYS protect Morana in my absence. She is a weak omega wolf. At least give me this solace? I trust and believe in our bond and in you, Weston, my beloved. Al
Violet’s POVOne Month Later As my phone’s alarm begins to blast unapologetically on my night stand, I hit the button to silence the alarm. I sat up rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I glanced at the time on my phone: 7 AM. Then the date glowing above the time on my clock struck me breathless with a moment of realization; today, Weston and I would have been taking over as the Alpha and Luna of the Mercury Pack. A massive celebration to commemorate the day had been lavishly planned out by Luna Mercy prior to our mating ceremony. The thought sends a jolt of guilt flooding through the mate bond unintentionally. I had done so well to block out the connection to Weston for so long already, how could I have slipped up with something like this?! I had grown so used to having the wall up from the moment Weston and I mated, that I never thought about it. The only time I had to focus on making sure the block remained was when I had a strong emotion overcome me, which the guilt had been
Thank the goddess that I knew better than to stay in one place for too long! I put my new apartment into my mother’s name, knowing no one would be looking for or keeping an eye on my mother and what she was doing. Alpha Dickovan hardly ever gave my mother the time of day, except when we were in front of others. He treated her like shit behind closed doors but pretended to dote on her in front of everyone just to show off how beautiful his Luna was to make other alphas jealous. Mom never hid that fact from me. She wanted me to always see him for what he was, even if she couldn’t change our circumstances. I hurriedly closed the door to the car, slinking down into the seat as I saw the two men come barrelling down the stairs and straight towards the same area I was parked in. “Shit, shit, shit!” I whispered to myself as I prayed they didn’t see me…or SMELL me for that matter! They began running and one was on the phone. “Alpha! We caught her scent! She’s been in the apartment b
"You will marry the Alpha heir of the Burning Moon pack before next month."I quietly watch as the packhouse buzzes with activity as my stepfather’s command continues to engulf my troubled thoughts. It’s just a few days shy of my 18th birthday, but they aren't preparing for my birthday. They are getting ready to welcome the Alpha and Luna of the Burning Moon pack, along with their Alpha heir.A month ago, my step-father, Alpha Donovan, arranged a marriage contract between the Alpha heir of the Burning Moon Pack, Weston Mercury, and I. I have never met him before. As a diplomatic pawn, that was my biggest value as the Alpha's step-daughter and the daughter of the previous Alpha. Casually summoned to his office, my step-father unceremoniously called me into his office to condemn me to a future with the unknown, and, with a commanding tone, informed me of this fact without giving thought to my wishes or hope of waiting for my fated mate. Summoning up my courage, I tried to question th
A fearful shudder crept up my spine as the thought of the repercussions of not going immediately to his office flashed through my mind. I had only been 10 minutes late, but it still earned me an excruciatingly painful slap across the face. The bruise of a handprint was left on my face all day before it finally healed enough to disappear.I scurried quickly out of my bed and down the long corridor that had become my sanctuary. Being the shunned step-daughter of the Alpha, Alpha Donovan ordered my now Omega servant pack mates to move me to a wing to live alone, separated from the rest of my so-called Alpha family. Alpha Donovan couldn’t fully demote my rank and kick me out of the packhouse, let alone the Alpha floor after agreeing to mate, mark and declare my mother his new Luna. So, he did what he thought was the next best thing in his shriveled brain of his; he chose to remove my scent and presence from his living quarters. He moved me to the dusty abandoned other side of the massi
I squared my shoulders with his, standing firm, glaring at him straight in the eyes, “I’m sorry, you must have me confused with your daughter, Sasha.” I smirked, dead serious as I continued, “You know the warriors enjoy passing her around their barracks every time she comes home from the academy on breaks? They like to brag about it all the time! I believe something about something she does with her,” I clearly struck a nerve when he interrupted my goading retort by immediately grabbing me by the neck, digging his claws into it, shoving me up against the wall.With venom dripping from his tone, he growled out, “You should be grateful to me you ungrateful little slut! Without me, you AND your mother would have been dead long ago! Nothing will EVER begin to repay the debts the two of you have cost me and I fully intend on cashing in that debt,” he licked his lips, running his lecherous eyes back up and down my body while using his other hand to fondle and grope my breast, “after you
Mom stopped brushing my hair and I could tell she hesitated for a second before moving to squat in front of me at the vanity. She began in a serious yet hushed voice, “Listen to me and listen good. I’m only going to tell you this once, because I fear what would happen if I ever spoke these words again. Do you understand what could happen to us if what I am about to tell you were to be overheard by anyone?” She stared me in the eyes more seriously than I think I had ever seen her in my life. A knot immediately began to form in my stomach and I grew scared and concerned, but nodded my head in agreement. I would never tell another living soul what my mother was about to tell me. “Our pack is in a remote location, so no one really knew which pack was which or where each of our packs were really located. Because of this, your father persistently worked to conceal our pack’s exact location, while also protecting the identity of the packs near us so if we were ever attacked, our enemies w
