Unaware of werewolves living among humans, Joanna has no idea that the intense and immediate attraction she feels toward the charming stranger at her fiancé's business meeting is actually a mate bond. Overpowered by the irresistible pull, she gives in to the overwhelming sensation and momentarily forgets about Clyde Mancini, heir to an influential Italian property empire. Feeling ashamed of her low self-esteem, she runs away from the stranger’s bed, only to discover weeks later that she is pregnant from the one-night stand. The Mancini family is thrilled about welcoming their new heir but chooses to overlook the baby's unusual behavior. The enraged Alpha initiates a search party to find his Luna, and when he ultimately finds Joanna, he abducts and forces her to become more involved with his pack and fulfill her duties. Joanna's primary concern is escaping from these unfamiliar beings so she can reunite with her husband, knowing that he is relentlessly searching for her. She anxiously tries to hide her son from the Alpha, the boy being his most powerful leverage to keep her with him. Eventually, the Moon Goddess intervenes, and Abel is convinced he has eliminated Clyde... so he thinks …
View MoreIn Woodland, a convoy of vehicles, somber and silent, rolled to a halt before the imposing, massive gates.Three vehicles peeled away from the main group, one of them a hearse carrying the body of the fallen Alpha Abel. A lone warrior approached the lead vehicle, where Kenrick sat in the back with Sybille.As the guard drew closer, he inhaled deeply, his senses sharp, and his eyes widened in shock."Alpha Kenrick," he stammered, disbelief thick in his voice. "We received no word of your arrival. We knew Alpha Abel was defeated since the pack link with him was severed, but the circumstances were shrouded in rumors."The warrior sprinted back towards the gates and pressed a button.The heavy gates began to slide open, granting the cars access to the pack lands. He sent an alert through the mind link, informing the pack of Kenrick's sudden arrival.A flurry of activity erupted within the packhouse.There was no time for formal celebrations or to prepare a grand welcome. Everyone rushed t
“Clyde,” Joanna murmured weak as she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his.The Crown Prince, his face carved in relief and overflowing with joy, kissed her all over her face as his heart is overflowing with gratitude. The past few minutes had been a terrifying ordeal for the entire family, a roller coaster of emotions that had left them breathless.“Yes, I’m here with you,” Clyde beamed emotionally. “You scared the hell out of me, my love. What would become of me without you by my side? If you ever decide to leave, don’t forget to take me with you, this life is nothing without you.”Joanna smiled, her eyes filled with a deep, unwavering love.With difficulty, she lifted her hand to stroke his face, her touch feather-light, her eyes shining with an affection that transcended words.“Will you mark me now? Make me your legal wife and my werewolf mate?”The Crown Prince laughed, a sound of pure, unadulterated relief, and pulled her tightly against him, his tears glistening in the
Crown Prince Clyde stood at the head of the large Council Board table, his posture rigid as the hall began to fill with spectators, their eyes eager and whispers buzzing with anticipation.Everyone was curious about the recent, chaotic events, and it was crucial to provide clear explanations, to dispel the confusion that hung heavily in the air. Once everyone had taken their seats and the Royals stood at some distance in front of him, Clyde addressed the attendees, his voice resonating with a solemn gravity.“As you all know, my wife, Joanna, was the fated mate of Alpha Abel,” he stated the obvious. “With his death, the bond was broken, not only with the marked mate but also with my wife. But Joanna is human, and she carries my twin pups, which adds an immense burden to her already fragile state.”He paused, letting his words sink in, as he heard gasps of shock ripple through the room.Some whispered among themselves, their voices laced with accusation, blaming him for what had happen
"Jace, I can’t bear to lose her," the Crown Prince softly growled with anguish, as he leaned heavily against the cold, sterile wall outside the ward where Joanna was being examined.His knuckles were white, his body trembling with suppressed terror."What could have caused all this? Was it the breaking of the bond with Alpha Abel?""I believe so. Sybille went through the same experience, but her Lycan helped her through it," the Secretary replied gravely. "Joanna is only half-transformed, and her wolf is still too weak. And the pups, man, this is dire."Fifteen agonizing minutes later, the doctor emerged from the examination room, his face a mask of grim concern, his shoulders slumped with a heavy weariness. Clyde and Jace rushed towards him, their hearts pounding with dread. The doctor's posture alone spoke volumes, painting a bleak picture."Doctor, my wife…" the Crown Prince stammered with fear. "Will she be okay? I beg you, do everything in your power to save her. Joanna must reco
At the sound of Sybille's voice, a feral rage consumed Alpha Abel.His eyes blazed, shifting into the predatory orbs of his wolf, and with a speed that defied human perception, he lunged at the she-wolf. His hand, a clawed weapon of raw power, closed around Sybille's throat, almost cutting off her desperate gasp."You tricked me!" he snarled, his voice a guttural growl that vibrated with unbridled fury. "You knew I would never choose you, what we had was a fleeting illusion, a ghost of the past. You came to my pack with the intention of keeping me away from Joanna, weaving a web of deceit. You were a pawn in a conspiracy, a viper in my den. But I will not surrender to you, I will reclaim my mate!"His grip tightened, the pressure crushing Sybille's windpipe, her eyes bulging as her face turning a grotesque shade of purple. A strangled gurgle escaped her lips, a desperate plea for air.Then suddenly, a figure, in a whirlwind of motion, slammed into Abel, sending him crashing to the gro
Joanna’s Point of View StillI couldn't help but notice that Alpha Maceo constantly cast strange, lingering glances in my direction. He seemed preoccupied, his attention shifting between me and some internal struggle, leaving me unsure of how to interpret his behavior.His granddaughter, Cela’s eyes were filled with a dismissive indifference, I sensed she wasn't genuinely interested in me, her focus elsewhere. No problem, I doubted I would see her again after today. My focus shifted back to my own matters, the urgency of the situation pressing down on me.‘Era, can you hear what’s happening inside?’ I asked my wolf, seeking her insight. ‘Is Alpha Abel already in the room? What’s the mood?’‘Yes to all your questions,’ she replied dryly. ‘Just a little patience, the Alpha seems to be misbehaving, throwing a tantrum. We’ll go in at the right moment, when the tension is at its peak.’‘Okay, I trust you to make a good judgment call. We need to get Clyde’s mark today itself, I can't lose h
Joanna’s Point of ViewThe Palace was eerily quiet when I reached the main floor, its vast corridors echoing with an almost unsettling stillness. I followed the same path I had taken upon my arrival, walking through the labyrinthine hallways and quickly found the main entrance. Looking around, I saw no one, the grand foyer deserted since the Council meeting was still ongoing.I wandered over to one of the parked cars, a nice Maserati, its polished surface gleaming under the soft light. Zane had driven this type of car in Moonlight Seekers, so I was familiar with the controls, the layout of the dashboard and the feel of the leather seats. Everything seemed to be in order, and, just as I had observed Clyde doing when we lived in the penthouse, I found the key tucked beneath the mat.“Yes, just as I thought,” I whispered, a surge of adrenaline coursing through me as I settled into the driver's seat.My large belly barely allowed me to reach the steering wheel, and I had to stretch my ar
Joanna’s Point of ViewThe moment the King and I made eye contact, a wave of unexpected tranquility settled over me.He had entered the conference room with an almost spectral silence, his presence barely registering until his gaze met mine.He had observed my position beside Clyde, a tableau of our strained relationship, and had overheard the tail end of our tense exchange. Though his features were etched with a sternness that could intimidate even the most seasoned Royal, I sensed an undercurrent of something else, something akin to understanding.It was as if he saw beyond the surface, beyond the carefully constructed facade of Royal displeasure. From Mariam, I knew he held me in a regard that bordered on paternal affection, valuing my insights and opinions with an unusual sincerity.An immediate, unspoken connection formed between us, a silent acknowledgment that he was an unexpected ally in this labyrinth of Royal intrigue.Clyde's words, though delivered with a veneer of reason,
As everyone settled at the enormous table in the large conference room, Clyde turned to Jace with an intense look.The Secretary sensed that heavy hours lay ahead, Clyde’s demeanor convinced him that the Palace secrets had been discovered, the truth laid bare. He took a deep breath, knowing that he would have to be very convincing to avoid punishment, to escape the consequences of his actions. Clyde would not spare him if he knew the truth, his loyalty tested and found wanting. His breathing became irregular, and his heart raced uncontrollably, it was a frantic drumbeat against his ribs.“Don’t be afraid, Jace,” Clyde assured him. “Mariam and Walther are on their way. I know you are not the only one involved in the plot to take Joanna away from me. What I want is clarity regarding your motives. I want to know if you conspired with the Alpha or if there were other matters at play.”Jace was not entirely reassured by Clyde’s words, the underlying icy tone too thick to ignore. In desper
