Eliza’s POV As Alpha Theron and I approached the grand packhouse, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervous anticipation. This was to be my new home, my sanctuary away from the cruelties of my old pack. Despite the Alpha's reassuring words, I still harboured a small kernel of doubt - what if the others didn't accept me as readily as he had? Jasmine's calming presence washed over me. 'Have faith, Eliza. We are among true pack now.' I clung to her wisdom, drawing strength from the bond we shared. If Alpha Theron believed in me, I could start believing in myself, too. The packhouse loomed ahead, an impressive structure of stone and timbers that blended seamlessly with the forest surroundings. The closer we drew, the more I picked up the varied scents and energies of the wolves within - a melting pot of personalities united under one lunar force. Alpha Theron must have sensed my trepidation. He offered me a kind smile as we approached the entrance. "Do not be afraid, Eliz
Eliza’s POV The disdainful looks and snide comments from Caia only seemed to intensify. The beautiful redhead did not attempt to veil her dislike for me, glaring venomously whenever I entered the same space. She reminded me of Daniella and Tricia, and they would certainly get along well. At first, I tried to ignore her childish antagonism, focusing instead on bonding with Maya, Nisha, Zara and the other pack members who had welcomed me warmly. But Caia's burning resentment was like a stubborn spark that steadily ignited a raging fire of bitterness between us.“I am so grateful to Alpha Theron for letting me be here, but Caia seems to hate me,” I said, glancing over at her as she threw me a dagger look. “Oh, her. Don't take it personally," Maya had said with a dismissive roll of her eyes. "Caia has always possessed an inflated sense of entitlement. She sees you as a threat to her delusions of being the most exalted female in our ranks.""The audacity of this...White Wolf thinking sh
Eliza’s POV Theron's words hung heavy in the tense silence. I felt shame burn through me at disappointing the noble alpha who had shown me such kindness. Caia, too, seemed cowed by his reprimand. Before either of us could respond, a commotion at the edge of the clearing caught everyone's attention. Zara came bounding in, her eyes wide with urgency. "Alpha! Rogues have been spotted on our eastern border," she panted. "A large pack, by the looks of it, maybe 20 or more. They've already killed two of our outer perimeter scouts." A rumble of alarm spread through the gathered wolves. Attacks from violent rogues were always a threat, but a pack of that size could devastate us. Theron's eyes narrowed, and I saw his body tense, readying for action. "Muster our best fighters immediately. We'll cut them off at the ridge line and make our stand there." He turned his intense gaze on me and Caia. "This ridiculous feud ends now. Prove you both have honour by fighting alongside your packmates
Rio’s POV As the council meeting ended and everyone started to go their separate ways, I grabbed Daniella and led her to the dimly lit corridor, ensuring we moved to a quiet spot where nobody could overhear us. I could not risk our secret being found out. I wanted to protect Creek and the people here. The distant hum of the pack house faded as we found ourselves in the secluded nook, the flickering light barely touching her concerned features. "Daniella, we have to keep this to ourselves," I warned her, my voice barely above a whisper. Daniella nodded, her usually vibrant eyes clouded with worry. "But how long can we keep quiet, Rylan? This could change everything for the pack... for all of us." Her voice trembled, betraying the fear she tried so hard to mask. “I hate that omega for what she has done. I don't know what is worse, her escaping so easily or Rylan refusing to accept me.” she pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest. "I know," I said, reaching out to
Chapter Twenty-Three: Rio’s POV My Mother’s expression hardened as she processed the information, the strategic wheels turning in her mind. "Gather the warriors. We will investigate this disturbance immediately," she commanded, her voice cutting through the tension in the air. The beta wolf nodded, turning to relay the orders to the gathered pack warriors. As he hurried off, Mother turned her gaze back to me, the weight of her scrutiny heavy on my shoulders. "Rio," she began, her tone firm but tinged with concern. "We will discuss this so-called 'delicate situation' after we have dealt with the matter at hand. But mark my words, secrets can unravel, especially within a pack as close-knit as ours. Now, let's see what is happening at the border gates.” I swallowed hard, the gravity of her words settling like a stone in the pit of my stomach. Despite the cloak of secrecy we had tried to maintain, the truth seemed now racing towards the surface, threatening to expose the delica
Rio's POV I felt a surge of protectiveness wash over me as Rylan, Edward, and Enzo confronted us about our apparent secrecy. Daniella tried to downplay the situation, but their suspicions only grew stronger in the face of our evasive responses. "Did you forget that we are brothers? Quadruplets, and I know you better than she ever could," Rylan stated. I looked at Daniella, who lowered her gaze to the ground. She knew that he was right. "Rylan, you don’t understand what you are saying. Please, let it go. It’s complicated, but Daniella is our chosen Luna. Let’s not forget that she is best for our pack," I started to say with a sigh. I wished my stupid brother would just accept that now so we could get on with our lives and prepare for our Alpha position when the time eventually comes. "What makes you think that she is what’s right for all of us and Creek?" Rylan's jaw was clenched, his arms crossed in front of him as he demanded answers. Edward and Enzo stood by his side, thei
Eliza’s POV “You were amazing out there. Thank you for helping us.” Alpha Theron said to me as Caia approached me with a strange look on her face. “Can I have a word, please, Eliza?” she asked nervously.” sure, what is it?” I asked. “I want to apologise for being so rude before.” "Apology accepted, Caia," I replied, offering her a reassuring smile. "Let's put the past behind us and focus on what lies ahead." As we stepped aside from the group, I couldn't help but notice the unease in her eyes. "Is there something else you wanted to discuss, Caia?" I probed gently. She hesitated momentarily before finally confessing, "I've been thinking about what happened earlier today, Eliza. When you...changed. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. I feel like I don't know what to think.” I sighed, understanding her apprehension. "Caia, I'm still the same Eliza. But yes, something extraordinary happened to me today. Jasmine's presence has awakened a power within me, a connection between h
Rylan's POVAs I listened to my parents and that rogue talking about the white wolf and her whereabouts at the Silver Moon Pack, something within me shifted. She belonged with me, and no one would stand in the way of claiming what was rightfully mine. The connection between us, the bond that had been forged long before we even knew of its existence, beckoned me to her side. I did not care for Daniella being my brother's choice of a chosen Luna. We were not yet the Alphas of Creek anyway. I had had enough of the secrets, the lies, the deception. I may not know her name, but I knew she was my mate, the White Wolf, and I would not let her slip through my fingers. I silently vowed to find her and bring her back to where she truly belonged – by my side—Future Luna of the Creek. No way was I letting this go. The thought echoed in my mind, driving me forward through the forest. The moon's silver light illuminated my path, guiding me toward the Silver Moon Pack. It did not bother me that th
