Sera’s POVWe all fell silent at Ruby’s words and even the pups around strained their ears, waiting to hear Draco’s reply.I turned to Draco, whom Ruby had put on the spot, as if I were watching a spectacle. We were all waiting to see how he’d handle her.As we all watched, Draco crunched down before Ruby, looking her in the eye. He let out his all too familiar wide grin and finally gave a reply.“Yes, I am Sera’s mate. My name is Draco, the Alpha of the Silva Moon Pack. I am the father of your niece or nephew, which is going to come out any time from now.”I gasped at his words.Ruby’s eyes took on a vicious glint, which I’d never seen, and she reached out to hit Draco before anyone could stop her.“Bad Alpha. You are the bad wolf that got Sera pregnant and left her all alone,” Ruby said, her hands crossed over her chest in defiance.My eyes widened, and I watched, amazed at how my sister had defended me. My eyes brimmed with tears and my vision blurred, but my heart surged with so m
Sera’s POV“Alpha, we have a problem!”I was in the pack’s dining area having breakfast with Draco, Miles, and Max, and finalizing the details for Draco’s pack when the doors burst open and Grace, Max’s sister, came in through the doors and exclaimed with a pale face.I glanced up at her, a frown creasing my brows as I asked, “Grace, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”She came forward panting.Max sent her a glass of water, which she gulped down without pause as we watched.“Some pack members who are against the merger of the two packs are kicking up a ruckus in protest!”I let out a sigh, all my appetite for the dish of cold roast chicken and a glass of strawberry juice before me long forgotten.After the incident with Ruby in the nursery, everything had passed in a blur, as preparations for the merger had occupied our time.After the meeting with the leadership of the pack, the news spread like wildfire in the pack. The pack members had mixed reactions to the news.The logical ones amo
Draco’s POV“Alpha, we are almost at the Still Moon Pack’s border.”Sebastian’s unmistakable voice came into my sea of consciousness as I slept, and my eyes immediately snapped open.I was in the large, Queen sized bed in the guest room of the Still Moon Pack’s pack house.“When will you be arriving?” I asked as I sat up on the bed, still grouchy from sleep.“We should be there by mid-morning. The team seems wary, but it’s more important to complete the trip ASAP. So, it’s nothing we can not handle,” Seb concluded.“Okay. Inform me when you arrive at the borders,” I said.“Yes, Alpha,” Seb replied and cut off the connection.I sighed as I fell back on the bed, my arms crossed behind my head, staring up at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the room.It was a beautiful piece with an intricate design and complex curves, but my mind was far away from it.I glanced around the guest room and sighed in satisfaction.The room’s sparse furnishings included mismatched furniture and a s
Draco’s POV“Alright. Just approach the enforcers while I inform Sera,” I responded through the mind link.I took a glance at my reflection in the mirror, making sure there was no issue before exiting the room.Once I arrived at the Still Moon Pack with Sera from the Crescent Hills, and the pack knew my identity and purpose, they put me in the guest room at the far end of the west wing.It was a large and comfortable room which was just next to that of Miles and Max, but it was far off the east wing, which had Sera’s room at the extreme end of the wing.Since each wing had about 5-6 rooms, that placed about 8-10 rooms between my room and Sera’s room.As far away as possible.I’d caught Millie’s sly grin as she assigned me to the room, so I knew what she’d been up to.But I hadn’t minded.Because I had plans of my own.Plans to move from room 12 to room 1 in the uppermost wings of the pack house.I glanced at Max’s and Miles’ doors as I walked past, headed straight to my mate’s room.B
Draco’s POVI moved even closer to Aria as she watched me with that familiar, harmless, disarming smile on her face.But that smile couldn't disarm this Alpha as I was no fool. I watched her with a sharp look and a grim smile.“Which pack did you say you came from? Remind me.”My voice filled with murderous intent.“Alpha, I have lost…”I was waiting to hear her cooked-up stories when Sebastian’s voice came once again through the mind link.I put up a finger, signaling to Aria to hold on as my eyes glazed over, signaling that a connection had been established through the mind link.“Alpha, we have a situation here. We are having difficulty getting through the line of enforcer here.”“Enforcers?”“Yeah. A couple of enforcers are insisting we leave and have refused to let us in.”I let out a sigh as I ran my fingers through my hair, eyes still on the female shifter before me.This interrogation was going to wait.“I’m on my way now. Try to control the situation to prevent things from e
Draco’s POV“Alpha!” The members of my pack all turned at the sound of my voice, calling out their greetings on sighting me.I studied them for any signs of bruises and released a sigh of relief when I didn’t find any.Sebastian and Bruno stood at the forefront while the surrounding enforcers protected the rest of the pack in the middle.Although they looked travel-worn, it hadn’t dampened their spirits, and they didn’t seem affected by the attitude of the enforcers of the Still Moon Pack.Sebastian had his usual look of watching a show, his lips curved in a smile, an icy glint in his eyes, while Bruno had his usual stoic looks as he watched the antics of the enforcers in the Still Moon Pack.Their demeanor assured me I wasn’t putting my pack under more strain than they could take in my quest to be with my mate.Once the border enforcers noticed my presence, they fell silent; only the chirping of birds and crickets in the woods and the cooing of a few rabbits nearby filled the cleari
Draco’s POV“Hope the pack didn’t encounter problems along the way?” I asked once Sebastian and Bruno had reached my side.Seb shook his head. “No, it was smoother than we’d expected. There were no signs of rogues along the way.”“I guess the news hadn’t traveled fast enough,” Bruno said as he glanced around the woods that surrounded the Still Moon Pack.The Still Moon Pack’s woods were relatively larger than those of most packs, and the pack had maintained them properly.The trees grew in a deliberate sequence, and its leaves were lush and glossy in the sunlight. The branches provided enough shade, so we hardly felt the sun on our skins as we moved along.In the Werewoods, every pack had its little woods where we let our wolves out for regular runs and held various celebrations in our wolf form in honor of the Moon Goddess.The woods served as both an escape for our wolves when needed and a shield for each pack against ambush.Only pack members understood their woods perfectly and co
Draco’s POVAria came down the stairs while we all were still in shock, Seb and Bruno trailing behind her.Her face was pale, and her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, making them glossy. She held the helm of her dress with trembling hands as she spoke.But I didn't give a hoot about how vulnerable she looked as my eyes narrowed down on her and my aura was wild as I observed her, my wolf Noble, coming to the surface.Everyone in the room let out a whimper as my pheromones filled the room, forcing their wolves to submit.The air was thick with tension and the large living area was deadly silent.“Speak!” I growled in Aria’s direction, voice thickened by my half-shifted state. My claws extended, and my eyes released an eerie glow in the living area. My now furry ears pricked as the air thickened with the scent of fear leaking from their bodies.“After- after Alpha Draco left, I suggested the Alpha have her meal and take her drugs, but she insisted that she’d like to rest more. So let her
Draco’s POV“Come in,” I said, as I stood, turning around to watch the door, my voice layered in frost.The door opened to reveal Grace leading in other female shifters, carrying my personal effects and clothes into the room.They quickly filed into the room, filling up the space with a riot of scents from various shifters and checking up my nostrils. The space which I considered an intimate space for me and my mate quickly became clustered and I frowned in annoyance.Grace asked as she glanced at me, “Alpha Draco, where should we place your things?”“Just put them on the couch and the bed. Put the heavier ones on the floor. I’d sort them myself,” I said, impatient to be rid of them quickly.“Alright, Alpha,” Grace said, throwing curious glances at the washroom where the sound of a running shower was obvious.“Excuse us,” Grace said, as she turned around to usher the other shifters out of the room after they’d dropped off my things as instructed.She had an excited look on her face an
Draco’s POV“Draco?”Once it was lunchtime, Daphne took the twins away to eat. I hadn’t eaten all day, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave my mate all alone for even a minute.Besides, I had no appetite to speak of while Sera lay there immobile and lost in the dreamland. I sat by the bedside, just watching my mate’s serene face for a while, with no idea when she’d wake.Various thoughts ran riot in my head as I feared for the worst. I’d dozed off without knowing when the familiar, now raspy from the long sleep, sounded like it was from a mile away.The persistent voice forced me to regain consciousness to make it stop.“Draco!”I opened my eyes and glanced around Sera’s large, feminine room, only to find her watching me curiously with her eyes open.Eyes open? Sera’s awake!“Draco, what are you doing here? Why are you sleeping on that uncomfortable couch when you have a perfectly fine bed in your room?” Sera asked with a bewildered look.“Well, I thought I’d crash here since I don’t
Draco’s POVThree hours later, I remained at my mate’s bedside watching her still unmoving figure when the door opened with a tiny creak and I turned to the door, a frown marring my brows.I had made it clear to Miles and the rest that I wanted no one to disturb us unless it was necessary, but barely hours later, someone came calling.The door remained open, and the doorway was empty, and I frowned, confused at what was happening.“Sera?”Ruby’s voice came from the door, and I chuckled in amusement.Our visitor was a little person.“Come in, Ruby. Sera’s sleeping,” I said, my voice a little over a whisper.Tiny footsteps came from the doorway as Ruby waddled her way over to the bed, standing on her tiptoes to get a better look at Sera.The little girl was in a baby pink princess dress with frills at the edges and glossy shoes that shone even in the room. “Come over here,” I said. “I’ll lift you to the bed.”Ruby gave me a look of disapproval, standing with her arms akimbo.“No, I can
Draco’s POV“Millie, get someone to transfer all my things from my room to Sera’s room. I’m going to keep a watch over her myself,” I said as I stood by the bedside in a daze, watching as my mate’s chest heaved as she breathed.The room fell silent at my words, and they all turned to me.“Okay. I’d do that right away,” Millie responded as she went to carry out my orders.I turned to the rest of the room. “For the pack’s matters, Miles and Seb, you both would take charge and work as representatives of both packs. You both would report to me on any important issue,” I said as quietly as I could, so as not to disturb my mate.“Bruno and Max, I’d leave the pack’s security to you both. Bruno, take the team to study the pack’s terrain and map out the major spots so we can position the enforcers to guard the pack.”“Max would help to ease the relationship between both packs and serve as a bridge. You guys are to work hand-in-hand with Steve, the head of the border enforcers to achieve this.
