Did it count as a betrayal though when we hardly understood it ourselves? My heart hurt and my wolf whimpered at the possibility of never talking to Zara again, of never being close to her again because I loved her like I lived my sister. In her absence, I watched Harper deteriorate under the pack's pressure and his want, and his helpless situation for Zara. I watched as he struggled every day, wanting to go after her, to find her and bring her back home. I watched him rule the pack even though I could see all he wanted to do was be with his mate. He had tried to leave even though a huge part of his being must have revolted against leaving all his responsibilities behind. It was then that Harper had gotten mercilessly shot down by an arrow laced with wolfsbane in his shoulder. He spent several weeks in the hosp
#Chapter253BONUS IIWhen all the tests came back negative, I felt I was going mad or my brain was cooking up some insane story and I couldn't make head or tails about my life. I felt I was being crazy because there was no possible way that this was happening to me. If I was indeed pregnant with Harper's baby, he deserved to be known. Maybe if I tell him, everything will be okay, the parental tests will come back negative and everything would be alright with the world. I wasn't even able to trust my memories but if I did have sex with Harper, I just might have ended my lifelong friendship with Zara and created a deep rift in their relationship, and I wasn't ready to lose either of them. I was spiraling out of control and felt like I was living in an alternate reality and the best decision I could think was to tell my alpha, Harper about it all. Even though I knew I would sound crazy and hard to believe, I approached Harper in his alpha's office. I had specifically chosen this s
#Chapter252BONUS II'Natalie's POV'******I knew something was wrong when I didn't get my period for two months. I never had a smooth cycle so I wasn't really troubled when they didn't happen the first time but their absence in the second consecutive month got me worried. My body had undergone certain changes I knew weren't normal and I was worrying myself to death, thinking about some kind of deadly disease that would kill me in a few months. Even though I knew that my immunity system was way better than a normal human's, I couldn't help but entertain such thoughts. I didn't tell anyone of my concerns as I didn't want anyone to worry because of my baseless concerns. Nonetheless, I booked the first possible appointment with the pack gynecologist. I had prepared myself for everything, a tumor in my ovary, internal hemorrhaging of my uterus that would result in an immediate hysterectomy, or even breast cancer which would again lead to a complete mammectomy. But as I sat in
#Chapter251BONUS ISomething about her made my protective instincts stand on end. My wolf didn't understand what was happening but I found myself giving an evil eye to anyone who looked at her the wrong way. I could feel that she was attracted to me and it brought a sort of satisfaction to my ego that this connection wasn't just in my mind. Just as easily, I could feel her guilt about having these feelings for me, and for once, I was able to completely relate to a person about this kind of stuff. When Zara told me about how her mate had impregnated her best friend, I had felt so angry. There was a rage inside me that I desperately wanted to let out. Here was a guy who treated his fated mate like this while my fated mate was taken away from me. It was at this point that all y regret about being attracted towards Zara went out the window. If she had such a mate, who had went out and cheated her on her best friend and got her pregnant, he didn't deserve Zara. I could still see th
#Chapter250BONUS IMy father didn't want to see me go, I was his heir. I was supposed to succeed him and impart all the knowledge he had given me to my own son but he could see how darkly I grieved, how she feared I would choose to take my own life than choosing to live on without my mate. So, with a heavy heart, he let me go and crowned my younger brother as the alpha of the pack. He accepted the fact that the art of secret-keeping would die with me as I was supposed to share it with my first son, something that seemed impossible to me without Aisha.On a whim, I decided to move closer to the pack governed by the white wolves. All my life I had thought that my purpose was my mate, ruling my pack as the alpha and being a secret keeper. The first one had been snatched out of my hands, the second one I had forsaken but I still hoped to somehow find peace in the third one. So, I set out towards the famous red lakes pack where the white alphas of the continent ruled. I still strugg
#Chapter249BONUS I'Ethan's POV'******When you grow up as a werewolf, all you ever hear is the word 'mate', because people around you can't stop talking about them. Some elders talk about mates with a dazed but happy look in their eyes and you can easily tell how much they love their mates. When young people talked mates, you could practically feel their longing and the love they had for their mates. When teenagers talked about mates, you could feel their desperation of finding their mates and being one with them. Rejections in my pack were extremely rare and every werewolf lived happily ever after with their fated mates. There were no doubts, no questions asked because your mate had the capability to be the exact fit of your soul, your second half, and the one who you are supposed to live as long as you live. Growing up and watching my parents and pack members, this is all I had watched and learned, that a mate was for you to love, hold and protect till the end of your days
#Chapter248EPILOGUE 6"God, I sure hope not," Zara whispered in my ear, and I caress her knee and she squeals and tries to get off me but I stop her by holding her tightly against me. She makes a show of it but settles again beside me. "When are Nat and Addison coming back?" Natalie and Addison had left three days ago with Natale's family for a vacation. They had left Mason and Emily, their four-year-old little girl, with us. Addison had given birth to Emily after thoroughly going through scores of sperm donors. Zara had patched up with Natalie through the years and I couldn't have been prouder of the progress of their relationship because, at one point in time, I had thought that there was no scope for reconciliation. They had come together slowly and built their relationship back step by step. Zara being friends with Addison and me and Addison accepting each other as siblings had definitely helped. Even though many of us had worked on our relationships, some issues were
#Chapter247EPILOGUE 5'HARPER'S POV (TEN YEARS LATER)'******It was three years ago when Mason was first teased by a fellow classmate about the unusual arrangement of his parents. I had always known that as he was growing up, he became especially attuned to the fact that the way his family lived wasn't exactly normal by usual standards. There were so many unusual factors that they were bound to seem different to him and I wasn't exactly prepared how Mason was coping with how different his family seemed to be from any other family in the pack. As the future alpha, it was essential to be a part of the pack because other people were often intimidated by the power you had and by the power you would have in the future. My father always taught me to be a part of the pack but always remember that you could never essentially be a part of the pack. And this is exactly what I had taught Mason to do; I had asked him to play with all the other wolf kids but always remember that in th
#Chapter246EPILOGUE 4I put down the knife on the table on which the silver bowl was kept and placed my stinging and bleeding hand in Harper's outstretched hand. The tingles that bloomed as soon as our skin touched almost made the pain bearable and I watched, rather I felt as Harper's blood mixed with mine and then slowly started dripping into the silver bowl placed below our hands. "I, Harper Cain, the white alpha of The Red Lakes pack, call upon the goddess to look over this Luna ceremony. I stand here, in front of my pack members to place my true mate, Zara Hemming, as the rightful Luna of this pack. I call upon you to bless this ceremony, bind both of us in the alpha-Luna bond, and give Zara her rightful position as the Luna of the pack. I stand before every one of my pack members and call upon you to bless my mate and the Luna of this pack to have a long and peaceful time in leading this pack." He gently squeezed my hand and watched as my hand stung with pain and our mixe
