Alessio POV He stood on the rocks, watching the sun beginning to creep up over the horizon. Brilliant rays and hues of red and orange cascaded across the sky. Anger coursed through him. His blood was boiling. How did they not realize that she was pregnant before now? This changed everything. His whole plan was shot to shit now. The witch would be here at any moment. He needed her to take care of the problem, one way or another. He turned on his heel and headed towards the pier. He stood at the edge, watching the waves crashing against each other in the distance as the storm raged around them. The storm he felt inside of him, tearing him apart like he was a rickety wooden boat trying to weather a hurricane. On one side, it was calm, peaceful, bright. The other side was hell on earth. A storm that raged on for miles and miles with torrential rainfall that just left you cold and wet. A circle of light caught his attention. Small at first, growing bigger ever so slightly. His hear

Emma POV She is alpha by blood. And not just any Alpha, but a Highborn Alpha. Which means she was born to two alpha parents, and a long line of them at that. Highborn alphas were bigger and more powerful, pure Highborn alphas even more so, they also live longer than regular werewolves. A pure Highborn Alpha line is rare, only two lines of them remain, hers and another pack's Alpha. Every child born in a pure Highborn Alpha line has been born to two Alpha parents throughout the entire line. But as packs started disappearing, moving, or just being completely wiped out, Highborn Alphas were rare to be born. A lot of alphas found their mates that have a lower rank. Most alphas now are born to an alpha parent and a beta parent, or even a gamma parent. Her pack and the Silver Stone pack’s alpha were the last line of pure Highborn Alphas. Although there were two other packs that had Highborn Alphas, their line didn’t have all Highborns, so they weren’t pure. She was supposed to take over
Logan POV He was running late to the Alpha and Beta gathering at the Shadow Moon’s pack. His Beta was already there and had text him and told him the party was in full swing. Alpha David went all out on this party. He was to announce when he planned on letting his son, Dylan, take over as Alpha since his 19th birthday had already passed. Dylan had been sitting in on meetings the past few years, as was tradition, learning about how to be an Alpha. He seemed to be a good kid and Logan believed he would make a good Alpha, especially if he was anything like his dad. Alpha David had served his pack very well. Logan pulled up to the front gate and the guard let him pass. He pulled up to the four-story house, everything was lit up, there were garden lights in all the bushes, and lights lining the driveway. He got out of his car and made his way to the front door and rang the doorbell. A short, plump woman, who looks to be in her late forties, opened the door. “Alpha Logan, it’s good to
Emma POV Emma hung up the phone. She was hoping the phone call from Logan would have better news. She didn’t want to wait until her and Dylan’s 20th birthday to be with Logan. It was nine months away, that was too long. She paced back and forth in front of her bed, it was a nervous habit of hers, but she didn’t have any other way to work out her frustrations, so pacing would have to do. Logan said that he would try to talk to Dylan and see if there was anything that he could do to help. That wasn’t likely. Her phone chimed, it was Logan. She couldn’t help but smile, and she instantly felt calm. She sat down on the bed and opened the message. She was still having a little trouble trying to navigate working the phone, but she would practice with it. Get some sleep sweetheart. Don’t stress. I will figure things out. Goodnight, sweet dreams. Goodnight and sweet dreams. She plugged the phone up to the charger. She hoped that they could be together soon. She liked how she felt arou
Emma watched out of her bedroom window at the staff as they set up tables and chairs on the back lawn. She opened the window so she could smell the freshly cut grass, she loved that smell. The staff was getting everything prepared for Dylan’s shifting ceremony that was happening tonight. All the Alpha’s would gather in the back yard and eat, and once the moon was at its highest, they would watch Dylan shift for his first time. She was excited that she would get to see Logan, even if it was through her window. He would at least be close and she could see him in person. Logan had talked her through how to video chat, so they got to see each other and talk to each other through the phone, but it wasn’t enough. She wanted to touch him and hold him and kiss him. She couldn’t do that through the phone. But they did at least learn a lot about each other. He taught her a lot of things about the outside world that she hasn’t had a chance to experience yet. Logan told her that he was going
Logan POV It was time for Dylan to start shifting. Alpha David had called everyone to gather around. Logan got up and walked over, he checked his phone again. Emma was supposed to text him when she got in the car. He prayed to the moon goddess that nothing went wrong. There was still no text from her. He put his phone back in his pocket. He watched as Dylan started his shift. As soon as he started to shift, he could feel pain. It was coming from Emma. He pulled out his phone and text her and asked her if she was ok. No reply. He was getting worried. The more Dylan started to shift, the more intense the pain became. He was a little over half way into his shift when they all heard a blood curling scream come from the side of the house and the pain he was feeling from Emma stopped. Logan immediately took off towards the side of the house, he knew that was Emma. The thought of something happening to her terrified him. Dylan stopped his shift, and everyone was running behind Logan. He
Logan POV Logan paced back and forth in front of the door that led into the room where his doctor was examining Emma. Dylan was sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. It seemed like forever before the doctor came out, Logan didn’t like the look on his face. “How is she?” Logan asked. Dylan raised his head up. “She isn’t doing well, Alpha. But I need to clarify a few things first.” the doctor said. Logan nodded his head as Dylan stood up. “What do you need to know?” Dylan asked. The doctor turned to Dylan, “Alpha Logan said that Emma is your twin, she five minutes older.” Dylan nodded. “And your father had you try to shift before her, correct?” “Yes.” Dylan answered. “Is your family’s highborn alpha line pure?” the doctor asked. “Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?” asked Dylan. The doctor sighed. “If you had completed your shift, you would have killed her.” “Oh my goddess!” Dylan exclaimed. Logan’s heart dropped. “You didn’t complete
