Hunter’s POV A knock on the front door of Caleb’s cabin broke the silence between the two of us as we waited for Ella to pack her things. Caleb moved casually to the door to answer it. Turning in the direction of the door I noticed it was one of my men. “I need to speak with Alpha Hunter.” The warrior said as he patiently stood at the door waiting for Caleb to invite him in. Caleb moved to the side permitting the warrior access to enter. The warrior quickly moved towards me and lowered his head in submission to me before saying, “Alpha Hunter it’s Luna….” But before he could finish, I raced back the hall to her room with Caleb in tow. Upon opening the door, I found the room empty of her presence. All her clothes were packed into suitcases on her bed and the closet door was open with only a single garment bag hanging open. A cool breeze filled the room from a single window that was left ajar as I walked over and shut it. As I turn Caleb stood facing the closet as his hand was extende
Chance’s POV My current situation wasn’t ideal and my wolf was clawing at me to seek revenge on Hunter and the Crescent Moon pack. I had underestimated my cousin and his strength. In my short time at the Crescent Moon pack, I never saw him release so much power as he did the day he attacked Blue Moon and myself. It was as if his wolf had doubled in size and power like nothing I had ever seen before radiated from him. It was if he had gone mad with the loss of Ella. I too was crazed with madness learning of her death but my anger was towards him for not protecting her even though he was blaming me for her kidnapping and death. There was no reasoning with him at the council meeting when he blamed me. I was appalled he would think I was that evil to kill my own mate. The same day that she was kidnapped and killed in the accident I had decided to send her a message to come back to me and that I would forgive her for leaving with Hunter. Memories of that day, hearing the news of her deat
Ella’s POV We had arrived home later than expected and all I wanted to do was go directly to bed. My mother was asleep and my father hadn’t informed her yet that they had found me. He wanted to surprise her with bringing me to her directly so she could see me with her own eyes. After deciding to inform her in the morning that I was alive, I snuck into the house and into my old bedroom while dad went to join mom. My room was exactly the way I had left it six months ago, even the unpacked boxes still sat in the corner where I had left them. The room smelled a little stale and I could tell mom hadn’t cleaned it much probably in hopes my scent would still linger. Rummaging through the clothes that I had left behind I found and old night shirt and quickly got ready for bed. As I brushed my teeth, I looked at my reflection in the mirror as I tilted my head to the side. Hunter’s mating mark stared back at me in all its beauty as I ran my fingers across it. My heart began to warm by sing
Ella’s POV We held each other for what seemed like eternity until he slowly pulled away looking deep within my eyes trying to read me. “Are you okay?” He asks once more. “I am now.” I say to him as I reach up on my tippy toes and softly kiss his lips. Hunter reacts to the kiss by moving his hand to cup my bottom as he lifts me in his arms, and I wrap my legs around him and he starts to deepen the kiss as he moves us to my bed. Gently Hunter lowers me to the bed as he pulls away and removes his shirt and then his pants leaving him only in his boxer briefs. The sight of my almost naked mate warms my core and shoots heat through my body fueled by desire. I have never wanted a man as much as I want Hunter and my body craved for his touch. Hunter lifts me up to a sitting position as he pulls my night shirt over my head leaving me completely naked and exposing every inch of my bare skin to him. Realizing I was naked Hunter stands once more and removes his boxers before climbing into bed
Caleb’s POV After Alpha Hunter left, I found myself alone in my cabin as Ella’s scent still lingered behind. Ella clearly was upset after seeing the dress and obviously couldn’t face me and made a run for it to get away from the feelings she has for me that haunt her. Her love that she still has for me made itself visible through the moment and kiss we shared before Hunter walked into the cabin. I wanted Ella for myself, but I knew that she would have to come to me willingly because right now she was mated to Hunter which was by far the strongest Alpha I had ever met, and her wolf was Hunter’s mate. After Ella and Hunter had finished the mating, I could tell with the short-lived fight the two of us had, his wolf had grown in size and in strength. The fairytales of being mated to a white wolf were not exactly fairytales but actual tales from past Alphas. Ella’s power clearly radiated from Hunter and when Ella shifted the power from her wolf emulated showing me that her wolf had pick
Caleb’s POV A few hours later I was done packing and headed to the kitchen to pour myself one last night cap for the night when I was startled to see Samantha in the living room. She had white sheets covering my furniture and hadn’t noticed me walking into the kitchen. I cleared my throat getting her attention and ask her, “What are you doing?” “I’m sorry your mother told me to bring these to you to cover your furniture and I thought you had gone to bed, so I decided to do it to help you out.” Samantha said like she was caught doing something wrong. “Thank you. I appreciate the help.” I said as I turned to reach for a glass out of the cupboard. I turned back to Samantha as she resumed covering the chairs and asked, “Would you like a drink?” Samantha looked at me in shock that I would ask her to have a drink with me. “Yeah, I’d like that.” She finally says as she finishes covering the chair and moves towards the kitchen where I am pouring her a glass of wine and myself a bourbon
Ella’s POV For the first time ever, I woke up in my mate’s arms and a feeling of love and protection consumed me. Never have I ever felt so much love and compassion from a person as I do when I’m with Hunter. The mate bond between the two of us pulses strong like another heartbeat within me drawing me to him. My body automatically pulls deeper into his embrace and I worry I will wake him. Hunter begins to hum and I know he is awake as he tightens his arms around me like an anaconda capturing its prey. “Did you sleep well Love?” He asks in a husky morning voice that melts my insides and makes me want to straddle him right here and now, but the thought passes when I assume my parents are both up. Last night I can only imagine what my father heard and I begin to blush thinking about it. “Yes.” I finally said as I tried to stretch my arms and legs that were now being pinned down by Hunter’s enormous body that somehow rolled on top of me. Hunter began to place gently kisses along my
Ella’s POV As we descended the stairs, I could smell the delicious breakfast spread my mother was preparing. Oh how I missed my mother and her amazing cooking skills. The scent of bacon and syrup filled my nose as my mouth began to water with anticipation of what was waiting in the kitchen for us. I began to take two steps at a time dragging Hunter behind me. “Slow down Love.” Hunter said sounding a bit worried and added, “Your mother isn’t going anywhere.” Little did he know that it was the scent that was compelling me to move faster all thoughts of my mother had been pushed aside as soon as I smelled the delectable scents calling for me. Its been days since I have been able to keep anything down and my stomach was screaming for food. Before I realized where I was I was standing at the kitchen table shoving a juicy piece of bacon into my mouth like it was the last meal I was ever going to eat. As I reached for a second piece to bring to my mouth, I heard the sound of a plate shatt
