Orion's POV

"Alpha, a letter came from the Council of Alphas in the States and I'm afraid you will have to travel today."

I groaned as I reached for the letter. I opened it and read its contents, sighing in defeat when I realized it wasn't something I could back out of so easily without getting an earful from my father who was big on these sorts of meetings.

The meeting wouldn't have been a problem if I just had to stay a night or at most two days but I have to be gone for at least one full month. A lot could happen in that time. After the last few weeks as Ciara's husband, I had no regrets about my new life and if anything, I never wanted to leave her side. How could I possibly leave for that long without her? Would it be right?

"Excuse me," James cleared his throat and left me alone with my thoughts.

A soft knock sounded on the door pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up just in time to see the subject of my thoughts standing there looking so pretty. I just couldn't ta

    Chapter 36Ciara's POVI stood to the side and watched as Orion and his Beta put their things into the car in preparation for their one-month trip. "do you want to come with me?"Orion had asked me to come with him and it had come as a shock to me when he asked. Yes things between us have been incredible since we got married and this trip would have been quite the adventure and would have probably brought us closer but I couldn't just drop everything and go with him.Grandfather was still in the hospital. Although his health was picking up every day, he was the Old Man Heartfield I remembered or the one everyone knew and loved. He had become a shell of the man he used to be. It pained me to see him like that but it pained me more to see Grandma Grace suffering.There was no love lost between us and we didn't like each other, heck we barely tolerated each other and yet I felt heartbroken anytime I saw how lean she had gotten because of Grandpa's condition. I have been tempted to hire

    Chapter 37CIara's POVIt's barely been an hour since the car drove off with Orion in it, barely an hour since that bruising kiss Orion gave me before he left and I miss him already. That kiss held promises of what was to come, promises that he'd fulfil when he came back to me in a month and all I had to do was wait while doing my duties as a Luna and taking care of my family; new and old."Here, it will help you relax,"I eyed the mug on the table and looked up at Bryan not sure what to make of his actions. He had been distant after I married Orion acting like a wounded lion when he saw how in love with each other we were and how crazy I was about Orion despite everything.The last reason probably had a good justification but what was his excuse for the other two?Bryan sighed and took a seat beside me, looking away from me. We sat there for a while neither of us saying anything until he reached for my hand. I didn't have the strength to pull away so I just let him. He placed a kiss

    Chapter 38Ciara's POVIt''s been two days since Orion left and I haven't been able to leave this room.After the inappropriate moment I shared with Bryan yesterday I didn't feel up to seeing anyone so I locked myself in and I have been in this bed since then. My stomach had been growling and I didn't have it in me to get up and feed myself.I was at a loss for words and disappointed in myself for filling up with another man, my brother-in-law, a mere 24 hrs after my husband left home on business. That was disrespectful and if the roles were referred, I'd feel like Orion had betrayed me.Just the thought that Orion had searching for Sophie had broken my heart so what would Orion finding out that his brother and I had shared a moment do? If it were a brother he had love for then perhaps he might forgive me even though it would hurt but Bryan was his stepbrother who hated way too much. Why did I let myself go down this rabbit hole?I wasn't a cheat or disloyal woman so why did I let Bry

    Chapter 39Bryan's POV ".....so what are your plans for when she comes back?"I gritted my teeth as all the color drained from Ciara's face feeling completely disgusted and appealed by Luna Stone's behavior. How could she ask her son's wife what she'd do if his ex showed up? What kind of question was that?I eyed Dad who had been silent all this time and wondered why he had become such a pouty little bitch for this woman. Why did he let her get away so much of the rubbish she did and why did he let her do whatever she liked without defending the people her callousness affected?"I don't mean to make you feel sad honey but we have to face the reality of things." Luna Stone continued and I clenched my jaw, my hands balled into fists. My wolf was nearing the surface not liking the way my father's wife was disrespecting our mate. "I guess you haven't thought about it at all but you have to at some point. What if Orion decides to leave you once Sophie shows up?"Ciara's gasp was fucking u

    Chapter 40Ciara's POVBryan has been avoiding me.I sighed as I dipped the cloth in warm water and squeezed my mind playing back the events of the last few days. It's officially been a week since Orion left and exactly five days since my conversation with Bryan after Luna Stone rubbed my situation in my face and he has been avoiding me.I know what I said and I still stand by it but did he have to avoid me? Couldn't boundaries be maintained while we still talk? I didn't understand him, and even how he answered my question that day confused me more. He didn't explain himself and for some reason, I didn't ask him anything."Ciara,"I looked up as Grandmother Grace walked into the room practically dragging her body. Since Gramps fell ill, her health hasn't been in tip-top shape either. She acts strong but she's just fighting to be strong. I send her a soft smile as I mop Gramps's body with the cloth."You didn't have to stay behind for us you know? Being with Orion right now is more imp

    Chapter 41Bryan's POVThe mate bond had to be the worst kind of hell, the goddess specially created to torment werewolves.Or else why would I have agreed to take my mate to ses my stepbrother when I could keep her here and have her all to myself? I ran my hands through my hair and let out a string of curses I'd never slip in front of her. This was the worst form of torture. Why couldn't I get my own mate? Why was I being forced to share her? A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts and I looked up in time to see Father walking into the room. “Father," I acknowledged his presence but made no move to find out what he wanted. “Son." He walked further into the room until he was standing by the desk. His fingers trailed over the wooden piece and for a brief moment I wondered what he was going to say. He had always been observant and now I fear more than anything that he has noticed something he shouldn't. “Ciara is your mate." He said, his tone held certainly. I inhaled

    Chapter 42Orion's POVThree days ago…“Alpha, we'll be arriving in California in a few hours." The pilot announced over the intercom and I nodded even though he couldn't see me. The hum of the jet’s engines was a steady backdrop to my restless thoughts. Through the small window beside me, the world below seemed peaceful, almost serene, a sharp contrast to the storm brewing in my mind. It's beautiful up here. The trees, cars and even the buildings all seem like needles from up here. I could barely appreciate the view, all my thoughts were centered on one thing, Ciara and the look she gave me before I got into the car that would take us to the airstrip. I wasn't into nature much but since I boarded my father's private jet I had been doing everything I could to prevent myself from thinking about Ciara. Who knew I would ever become this obsessed with her considering how things started between us?It was my own fault anyway. I shouldn’t have kissed her before leaving, it was a mista

Someone, an unfamiliar man, walked up to the bed and pointed a bright light into my eyes, blinding me for a second. I cursed and shut my eyes immediately, causing him to laugh. “I’m sorry, I should have warned you,” he smiled as he pulled a stool closer and sat down. “How are you feeling?" “Like everything is broken," I replied without hesitation and he nodded. “Where am I?" He eyed me for a while, studying my face before he finally replied, his expression serious as he spoke. “What can you remember? What is your name?" I understood what he was trying to do. “Orion Stone, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack and son to Alpha Stone and Luna Stone. My wife, Ciara Stone must be

    Chapter 150Ciara's POV “You're finally up,” I smiled just as my eyes started to close again. “No, no, you have to eat something first, sleeping beauty,” the old woman chuckled and helped me sit up. While eating, I dozed off a couple of times but she didn't mind after all she was used to it. It had been five months since Sophia ordered James to kill me and he let me go. After I landed in the old woman's home, it had been a repeated case of falling in and out of consciousness. When I wasn't in a semi comatose state, I was eating or rather she was feeding me because I couldn't do anything yet. The woman deserved a medal for how well she had taken up the role of my caregiver in these months. Anyone else might have given up on me already but she had been steadfast and so patient, never asking too many questions. When I asked why I was so groggy fearing that just maybe the old woman was planning something sinister, she explained that my body had shutdown to ensure I recovered fro

  • Mate for the Feuding Alpha Brothers   CHAPTER 149

    Chapter 149Bryan's POV There was a hollow feeling in my chest that wouldn't go away as I watched Orion walk out of the room leaving Lacey with me. Granted Lacey asked for me to hold her but still. Orion was her father but neither of them knew that and Lacey had only ever known me as her father. “Are you okay baby?” I asked as I patted her back gently. Walking into the room and seeing her like that kicked up my protective instincts. This would have been the perfect time to let Orion shine with her and to let their father-daughter bond grown but I couldn't let that happen. Was I that inconsiderate? No, it wasn't that. I just simply saw my little girl in pain and rushed to check on her. I probably should have envisioned her reaching for me to get comforted the moment I walked in but that was the last thing on my mind when I saw the state she was in. Orion had seemed upset when he walked out of here and I wished I could tell what was running through his head. “You're probably b

  • Mate for the Feuding Alpha Brothers   CHAPTER 148

    Chapter 148Orion's POV “We'll find Ciara no matter what and way before the Alpha Rogue King is able to get his hands on her.” I told Old Man Heartfield as we settled in his office. After briefly entertaining the children, we had moved to the office to round up our conversation. We didn't want to risk either of the children hearing anything we were saying, especially about Ciara's disappearance when we've been feeding them lies about her being on a trip. It was a stupid lie, one no one would even fall for but children didn't have so much wisdom and took everything you said to be true especially if they trusted you. The lies were becoming too much for me. Lying to Bryan was one thing but now lying to the children especially Lacey was a completely different thing. As I looked into her eyes and told her that Ciara travelled, it felt as if multiple pieces of glass were piercing my heart. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was a strange connection between us, kind of like a bo

    Chapter 147Bryan's POV Two weeks later…“I'm glad you're feeling much better,” Orion said as soon as I parked in front of Old Man Heartfield’s house. Leaning back in my seat, I killed the engine and shrugged but I didn't reply. Perhaps all it took was for me to see him in pain for me to come back to my senses. Barely two weeks ago, I had been spiraling out of control and losing my mind but now, my mind was clearer than ever. Ciara's disappearance still kept me up at night but now I knew better that wallowing wasn't the solution, not by a long shot. Orion had lost so much in such a short amount of time and maybe if I had sucked it up and handled my grief better then finding Ciara would be the only thing we had to worry about. Now we had Ciara to find, two missing boys and a serial killer on the loose. “What are you thinking so deeply about?” Orion asked, tapping my arm and I was pulled out of my thoughts. What an idiot I have been….He sighed when I didn't reply and opened th

    Chapter 146Orion's POV It's been four weeks since Sophie up and left and my men haven't been able to find any trace that'd lead me to her. If she had left all by herself without taking my sons then I wouldn't have bothered but she took them. James and Jeremy had become an essential part of me and knowing that they aren't mine biological hadn't changed that. The love I felt for them when I thought they weren't mine hadn't diminished just because she said they belonged to someone else. If anyone was to blame in this situation then it was her lying cheating ass for deceiving me all these years. She made me leave Ciara, my tree mate and she did this to me. Such a witch. It's no wonder Bryan has always hated her. He had been able to see through her bullshit while I had loving up on her back then. When she eloped with some other guy before our wedding I should have moved on immediately with someone else preferably Ciara. That should have been the sign I needed to know that she wou

    Chapter 145Ciara's POV I finally got a hold on my wavering emotions and pushed James away. He never expected the strength or force of my push and it sent him staggering a few feets backwards. “What the hell do you think you're doing?” I asked, anger bubbling inside of me. “Have you lost your mind?!” I raised my hand and slapped him, the anger I was feeling radiating off me in waves.He blinked, clearly in shock and then rubbed his lips with his fingers as if trying to wipe off any traces of the kiss. “You're testing me, woman, and I hate being dared."The eye roll that followed his words was an unconscious response to his silly statement. “Stay away from me and keep your filthy hands to yourself, you disgusting pig!” James sneered. "You don't give the orders. I'm the one in charge here."I spat on the ground close to his feet and leaned up with a raised eyebrow. "You're nothing but a spineless coward who accepted Sophia's orders simply because you're too whipped to see that sh

    Chapter 144 Ciara's POV “Where is she?” The commotion from outside my room woke me up. With a frown, I sat up in bed wondering what could have happened. I slid off the bed and made my way towards the door with sleepy eyes. The door swung open violently, hitting my chin. I screamed and stepped back, holding it as pain throbbed from my chin to other parts of my face. “Have you lost your mind?” I shrieked, massaging my sore chin. “What is the meaning of this?!” “Come now cousin, that's no way to talk to me. Remember I control your life now.” A scoff left my mouth before I could stop it at her words. Why was she saying all of this now? My head snapped up and I stared at Sophia in shock. What was she even doing here all of a sudden? “You're shocked, aren't you?” she smirked and walked further into he room, running her fingertips over the bed, the wall, everything. “Why are you here, Sophia?” I asked before I could help myself. She shrugged. “What can I say cousin? I mi

    Chapter 143 Bryan's POV “Alpha,” Ryan greeted me as he walked into my room with a tray of food. I sat up and balled my hands into fists when I saw the tray. “I already told you I'm not hungry. You shouldn't have bothered,” He ignored me and placed the tray on the nightstand. He stopped back and stared at me. “Your brother called to see you again,” I clenched my jaw and grunted. “I don't want to see him, I already told you this,” “Well he is very persistent. I am afraid I have run out of lies to explain why you're not here.” My eyes rolled to the back of my head on its own at his words. I knew how persistent Orion could be and it was really annoying that he couldn't just give me some space. “Alpha please speak to him. He's sorry about everything he did. He didn't mean to lie to you and when you look at it, he had been trying to protect you,” A scoff flew out of my mouth and I glared at Ryan. If looks could kill….. He didn't seem concerned by my behaviour and continu

    Chapter 142 Orion's POV “He's still not picking up?” I asked and James shook his head. “No Alpha. It keeps going to voicemail,” I sighed and banged my fists on the table repeatedly. What was going on with my brother? Surely he wasn't still mad at me because I called Sophia's bluff? We were both mature adults and we could harsh it out like men. James had informed me that he had been here to see me a couple of days ago but I never received him in office. I had been confused when James told me about it. Why had my brother come to see me but then changed his mind last minute? My heartbeat picked up as I remembered that the same day, Lucas and I had been discussing something sensitive in my office. A gasp left my mouth before I could stop it and I nearly tumbled out of my chair. Could he have heard our conversation? “Alpha?” If he had, surely he'd have barged in and challenged me for lying right? He wouldn't just storm off like that. At least that's what I wanted to
