AVA As I sat on the edge of Derek’s massive bed, I couldn’t help but take in the size and grandeur of the room. It was enormous—larger than my family’s entire living space—with high ceilings and walls lined with shelves of books and artifacts that spoke of Derek’s status as the future Alpha. My eyes landed on the bed itself. It was a grand piece of furniture with dark, heavy posts and a thick mattress draped in luxurious navy-blue sheets. I sat stiffly, feeling like I didn’t belong in a space like this.My thoughts drifted back to what had just happened outside. Kora’s attack replayed in my mind—the insults, the hatred, and the humiliation I had endured in front of everyone. But what confused me most was Derek’s reaction. He had defended me , growled at Kora like a wolf ready to rip her apart, and carried me here as if I were something precious.“How could he do that after rejecting me?” . It didn’t make sense. He had made it abundantly clear that I wasn’t worthy of being his mate

After Derek left the room, shutting the door behind him, I found myself lost in thought. The kiss had left me dazed, a whirlwind of emotions coursing through me. I was torn between the pain of his rejection and the undeniable pull of our bond. Before I could fully process my feelings, there was a knock at the door, and the Alpha—Derek’s father—walked in.The Alpha’s presence was commanding yet kind, his gaze soft as he looked at me . "Ava," he started, his deep voice laced with regret. "I owe you an apology.”I blinked in surprise. "An apology, Alpha?"He nodded, stepping further into the room. "I’ve failed you, and for that, I’m deeply sorry. I didn’t realize the extent of what you’ve been through—how much you’ve endured in silence, hiding for years. As Alpha, my role is to protect every member of this pack, and I failed to do that for you.”I looked down, my voice barely above a whisper. "You have a lot on your shoulders, Alpha. You’re not just the leader of the pack—you’re a fath

DEREK “Dad, a pack from the south contacted me yesterday,” I said as we sat in the pack office. My father, the Alpha, raised an eyebrow.“And what pack would that be?” he asked, leaning forward with curiosity.“Their name is Lunaris Mystique,” I replied, feeling a small thrill at even saying the name.His eyes flickered with recognition. “Lunaris Mystique?” He sat back in his chair. “I know of them. They’re a smaller pack, deeply secluded, but they’re not ordinary. They have a history of taking in magical wolves, those gifted with abilities, and grooming them to master their powers. Their stories have always been shrouded in mystery. For a long time, I thought they were nothing more than a myth.”“Apparently, they’re very real,” I replied. “An unknown number called me yesterday. They claimed to have heard I was searching for my mate. Before coming to you, I had the council investigate their claim. They confirmed the same—Lunaris Mystique is indeed a pack of supernatural wolves.”T

AVAThe night air was cool, with the moon casting a silvery glow across the landscape, reflecting off the surface of the lake. As I made my way toward it, my thoughts wandered to everything that had happened between Derek and me. I couldn’t help but blush, remembering the way he had held me, kissed me, and said things I had never dared hope to hear.For the first time in my life, I felt like I was stepping into the light. The alpha’s offer to give me a job had been the best gift I could ever ask for. It wasn’t just about the task itself—it was about being seen, being heard. I had always hidden in the shadows, afraid of what others might think, ashamed of my twisted spine, my weakness. But now, I had a chance to be out in the world, to let people see me as I was, not as a fragile, broken thing to pity.It was liberating in a way I had never experienced before. Even my wolf seemed to rejoice in the freedom. She had always wanted to be out in the open, to run and feel the wind on her f

"Where have you been, Derek?" Adrian's voice broke the silence, his sharp gaze fixing on me. "I’ve barely seen you these past few days.”I hesitated for a moment, the half-truth already on the tip of my tongue. "I’ve been working on the building project—the new pack house for the increasing numbers in the pack," I said evenly. "And preparing for the arrival of the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack." It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either.The truth was, I had spent most of my time with Ava at the cave, a sanctuary I had made into something of a second home. After her daily shifts, we’d meet there under the cover of darkness, spending the night together. Those hours were our escape—a space where we could bond, talk, and let the tension between us unravel.If someone had told me before that I’d find solace with someone like Ava, I would have laughed. But she wasn’t like anyone else. Ava had a quiet strength about her, a resilience forged from years of b

AVA It was the day before the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack were set to arrive. Tomorrow, Derek would claim his bonded mate, and our fleeting, fragile connection would be nothing but a memory.I woke up in the cave, the emptiness beside me a harsh reminder that he wasn’t there. Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I noticed movement outside. A wolf paced back and forth, its movements deliberate and vigilant, like it was on guard."Derek?" I called groggily, stepping toward the entrance. But as I approached, the wolf shifted, its fur receding to reveal a familiar figure. To my surprise, it wasn’t Derek—it was Adrian."Adrian?" I stammered, unsure of what to make of his presence."It’s okay, Ava," he said, his voice calm but firm. "Derek asked me to watch over you until he gets back.”I felt a rush of panic. "I… we were just…" I struggled to find the words, my mind racing."Having sex?" he interrupted with a smirk, laughing at my wide-eyed expression. "Relax. Derek told me

The tension in the air was palpable as Derek and I stood side by side in the pack house, both trying to remain calm, though I could feel the storm of emotions brewing beneath the surface. The alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack had arrived, and with them came the knowledge that everything was about to change.We had decided to tell everyone the truth about us—the bond we shared that went beyond physical connection. Derek and I had been inseparable, our emotions intertwined in ways that felt both exhilarating and overwhelming. But with the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack on their way, I couldn't help but feel that the storm was closing in.The moment they stepped through the door, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Seth, the Alpha of the Lunaris Mystique pack, entered with his sister, Vee, standing by his side. Their energy was magnetic. As soon as Vee caught Adrian’s gaze, something unspoken passed between them. Their eyes locked, and it was cle

DEREK The man’s head tilted as his sharp gaze traveled up toward me. His expression was calm, unreadable, but there was a spark in his eyes as if he were observing something he found... interesting. Then, with a faint smile, he shifted his attention to Ava, and that subtle smile grew warmer, more curious. My jaw clenched.Taking a step back, the man addressed me directly, his voice polite yet measured. “I’m guessing you’re the future Alpha we were coming to meet?”Every instinct in me wanted to snap, to remind him where he stood. Instead, my father’s pointed throat-clearing from behind me brought me back to focus. Begrudgingly, I replied, “That’s right.”The man introduced himself, extending a hand up to me since I still stood a step above him on the staircase. “My name is Seth. I’m the Alpha of my pack.”Ava squeezed past him on her way down the steps. I didn’t miss the way his eyes lingered on her, following her movements as though he couldn’t help himself. A low growl stirred in m

AVASEVERAL YEARS LATER " Luna, where would you like these ? "I turned to see a male wolf standing holding two large bowls in his hands. "They're over on the food table, thank you. " He smiled at me and scurried off. Tomorrow is the kids' eighteenth birthdays. Tonight we planned a family meal , just us and them. We needed to come clean about a secret we had kept their whole lives. At midnight tonight , they will get their wolves and their magic back. They would also realise what pack members had speculated and teased them about their whole lives. That they were in fact mates.We thought telling them that part would be the easy part. The kids were left with most of their bond. But for two of our lovely children , I fear the news will come to them like a nightmare. Leo and Lena had been forever inseparable , to the point I had to kick him out of her room most nights still. They wished to be mates , hoped for it and had even gone as far as saying if they weren't they would reject their

It started with a low current , flowing through one hand around my body and out the other. It felt like a pulse , the power of it getting stronger with time it passed through me.The low breeze that had flowed around us became a strong wind wiping through our hair and clothes. But the leaves kept floating through it all. My eyes were focused on the babies. Making sure they were OK , at one sign they weren't, I would break this link with no issues. But they seemed fine. When the leaves dropped from floating and the babies' eyes turned back to their usual colors, I knew that their magic was gone for now. Locked away until they turned eighteen.The girls didn't stop. Their chant turned to a different one. The pulsing feeling kept going , but this time the babies started getting a little upset. I looked at Derek, who looked like he wanted to go to them and I knew how he was feeling hearing them cry was not sitting well with me. But as he went to move forward , Ava pulled him back and shoo

ONE MONTH AFTER BIRTH . . . ." Ava, can you throw me the lotion please ? " I asked, turning towards her. She was dressing Keon and Kesha her son and my daughter at the other side of the room. While I was dressing Leo and Lena , my son and her daughter. It was pretty obvious from the get go who was mated to who. That first night of the babies being born , they wouldn't settle to sleep until Adrian threw out the idea of testing who was mated to who. We had laid them brother to sister and they hadn't been happy with that. Since then, they have only been happy being beside each other. Before Ava had the chance to throw me the lotion, it started floating through the air to me. Ava looked at the babies she had , and I looked at mine. Shaking my head and smiling at Leo.You could tell which baby was using magic. For some reason, we didn't know their eyes would turn white when they were using their gifts . " Leo stop being a show off ", I smiled at him . I went to lotion him first and he sta

The council stayed for two days , they met everyone in the pack. They stayed and caught up with the Derek dad and got to know Derek and Ava. They even offered us to be on the council but we all respectfully declined. But we agreed to help them if we were needed and Ava and Derek agreed to visit the council to discuss how Ava would be helping them too. They wanted us to be close with the council and after getting to know the three of them , we were happy with that. They were actually really nice, it just goes to show one rotten egg could rot a whole dozen.We still kept our children's future to ourselves though. All seemed to be well and good for now , but seeing it take action would be another thing. When they finally left and we got into our quadruple bed , we were all drained. It seemed coming down from the high of so much adrenaline we had been running on caused everyone involved to crash." Well , that actually resolved itself easily " I laughed, still not believing it.

ADRIAN The council had just been let through at the borders , after a meeting this morning and sharing what had happened with the moon goddess. We had all decided to keep what our babies were to be a secret. No one but our closest people could know. Muting their magic and the fact they were mates was the only way forward. That was clear now. Me and Ava didn't like it , we understood their magic being muted. But their mating , we can feel their bond already. It was beautiful , and to keep that from them. Well , it just felt wrong. But if it was what was needed to protect them , then that is what we would do.All of the new members were gathered , Derek wanted them on and off of our land as soon as possible. All the newcomers from the island , and the others that had joined too. Even the panthers were there. Even though Derek had done the decent thing and not made them a part of this pack , they kept their own pride. They had their leader and we were allies. He decided to have them her

After a few more minutes and the doctor taking some pictures of them , he pulled the little thing off of Ava's belly and cleaned it. He handed Derek some paper to clean the gel he had put on her belly off too. He gently wiped it off and then helped her up. Pulling her into a tight hug. They then got pulled into more hugs by their parents. After that, Ava' mum and dad left , to give me privacy. Ava' mum was clutching one of the pictures on her chest. The difference in her was outstanding to what I had seen when I met her." Are you ready Vee ? "the doctor asked me. My heart started hammering in my chest. Adrian grabbed my hand and squeezed it for support. Looking at Ava, she looked a little nervous now too. This could possibly prove the theory right. " Yes I'm ready " the doctor looked a little confused by the mood in the room. He didn't know what this could mean. Going to the table , Adrian helped me slowly lay down and then he lifted my shirt up for me. " The gel will be a little col

The guys had some pack stuff to sort out , word from the council had come and they were set to come visit in two days' time. So , preparations were underway. So , me and Ava decided to try and get some answers. We gathered all of the girls. And asked them all to meet us at the warlock women's camp. Cersei showed up alone , to which I was shocked. I had heard her mates were stuck to her like glue. But she did wear two very fresh looking mating marks on either side of her neck. " How are you fitting in with Cersei? " I asked her as we waited for Shirer and Dee to arrive. She glanced at me and smiled " Wonderful , everyone has been so kind. My mates are wonderful , but I am glad you called me here today for help. They are spectacular , but I think they feel the need to fuss over me right now because I am grieving the loss of my sisters , again" she laughed , but there was a tinge of sadness." They are being a little . . . " she let the words die off. Laughing, I finished them for her. "

Mate and breed. But the more I thought about it just being me and you for a year maybe , I liked the idea. I have travelled, but mainly for pack business. I haven't traveled much besides that from the pack. But, I just want you to know. I am not disappointed that we are expecting now , not in the slightest. We have all the time in the world for me and you to travel. We have a family that will look after our pup if we want a break away together. We can even show the world to our pup. Having this baby won't stop us. Trust me Vee, I won't let it. " She smiled, which was like food for my soul. " I believe you " she whispered, looking back away from me.We sat just in our own thoughts for a while , silence wasn't uncomfortable for us. After a while , I realised we had been coupled up here for days , and as much as I love it. Maybe we need a little outing. " Shall we go for a walk ? And then maybe we can go for a swim in the lake " I asked her and she smiled up at me. " That sounds nice ",

VEEThere were a lot of flushed faces as we all sat down for dinner, Adrian had been right , a few of the mated couples had disappeared for a little rekindling, The previous luna tried to look sternly at us all. But , you couldn't miss the amused little smile she was trying to hide. " Ava, how are you feeling honey ? she asked, trying to cover up her grin. Ava looked up from her food that she had been scratching down and smiled , her whole face lit up. " I feel really good actually. I have had this sudden burst of energy. Like the little terrors are boosting me up " she smiled fondly. Her mother in law smiled fondly. " Yep , I remember that. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But it runs out near the end. So, make the most of it now while it is happening " she laughed a little, getting lost in her memory.I can't believe I hadn't told him myself yet about our news, but I hadn't actually had the time. Or the right moment to do it. Looking up , I caught the glance of the previous luna
