And now Johnston was telling us that Elyon was also in Park Slope, the same place he had run into Becca. Elyon didn't realize his mate was following him. And when they visited Paxton the last time, the couple argued about his affection for Becca. All these things pointed in one direction: Elyon misled me to get closer to Becca. “How do we handle this? At all costs, Becca has to get back here. Despite everything, she's Paxton's Luna and if I'm right, Moon Shine isn't her favorite place to live either,” I added. Johnston sighed. “It's really about what she wants now. The choice between the two worse places she definitely doesn't want to be. In Moon Shine lives her parents, that is family. Here in Paxton, she has no one, even the bond I had with her became shaky when I discovered that Marelva was my mate. In addition, I have prioritized my loyalty to Alex over allowing her to flee to her beloved.” He looked at me and took an
Becca’s Point of ViewElyon and Alex were not on good terms.Oh, really? Who would have seen that coming!The last time I saw them together, they seemed like the best of friends. Well, apparently, friendship can be fleeting as well.If I had to choose between Moon Shine and Paxton, I'd say living in Paxton was the lesser of two hells. Despite being here with my parents, Elyon's presence loomed over me like a constant pressure. He popped up everywhere, trying to control every aspect of my life, and I truly despised him for it. It amazed me that there was ever a time when I had been head over heels for this jerk.And on top of that, I observed Xena's intense jealousy when she watched me from a distance. It was clear that there were feelings of envy and resentment consuming her. But honestly, who could blame her? No she-wolf would enjoy watching her mate constantly circling around an ex, sharing the same home and facing her daily. And Elyon was really acting like a bitch in heat.Yes, I
Becca’s Point of ViewMy eyes widened in shock and my jaw dropped!None other than Elyon was gazing at me, comfortably reclined in the back seat. How did he find out what I was up to? Could Jonas have betrayed me?I stared at the Alpha rigidly."You thought my intelligence was something easy to take advantage of, didn't you? If you're looking for a way out, why not just ask directly instead of resorting to an unsafe way to do so?” he remarked dryly, as if we were simply having an ordinary conversation. His tone was calm, almost patronizing, as if he relished the power he held over me in this moment.At last, I found my voice again. "Would you have let me go? I know you're in a bind with Paxton and might be keeping me here as leverage. Do you really think I'd just walk into your office with the news that I want to leave then?” I snapped at him, frustration seeping through my words. My disappointment had morphed into anger, my freedom had been so close, and this plan felt like it was su
Zane’s Point of ViewI was feeling mentally drained.For weeks, I hadn't heard from Becca, and the uncertainty was eating away at me. There were so many things I wanted to ask her, but what mattered most was our child. I wanted her confirmation that she was pregnant. The thought of it sent my heart racing, a child for Becca and me! God bless me, I'm going to be a father!The moment I opened my eyes, it was clear I'd overslept significantly. Given the current chaos in my life, this wasn't unexpected. The clock read noon as I reached for my phone to inform my secretary that I'd be taking a day off. That's when I noticed Becca's miss call from midnight, could something be wrong? Trying not to panic, I called her back but got no answer twice in a row. Deciding on a course of action, I planned to take a shower and try reaching out again afterward.As I was getting ready, the doorbell rang downstairs. It hit me that I'd forgotten to silence it the night before. With a sigh, I headed for the
Zane’s Point of View"Marelva," I finally uttered, her name leaving a bitter taste on my tongue. "Why are you here?"She attempted to enter the house by slipping past me, but I stopped her just in time. "What exactly are you planning, Marelva?" I asked as she stood upright before me.“I am homeless. I have nowhere to go, and I am the mother of your children. I am entitled to your protection. Let me in. Now!” I was shocked by her statement.A storm was raging within me, and I struggled to resist slamming the door in her face. After all that had transpired and everything she had done, how could she have the audacity to appear at my doorstep expecting a warm welcome?"You must be kidding," I answered, my voice tinged with frustration. "Do you have any idea what you're asking of me?"She folded her arms across her chest and glared at me. "Why are you homeless? Last I knew, you had a werewolf mate," I questioned. "What brought you back here?" Becca had mentioned that she discovered Johnsto
Zane’s Point of ViewJeteh continued to glare between Marelva and me.“Glad it has your approval. If the lady likes it too, we can discuss the terms." We talked over the housing contract and reached an agreement in just fifteen minutes.Marelva was able to move in immediately, and I promptly transferred three months' rent into Jeteh’s account. This period matched the time when she would give birth, and we could confirm the paternity of the children. If it turned out they weren't mine, I wasn’t planning on assuming any responsibility for them, particularly as my own child was about to arrive, whom I wanted to dedicate all my love and attention. Having Marelva in my life wasn't something I desired.I swiftly retrieved her suitcase from the car and set it down in the middle of the studio."Feel free to look around, then join us on the back patio," Jeteh stated. "There's a pool if you'd like to take a swim." The three of us headed out, with Jeteh guiding us to the terrace where there was
Becca’s Point of View"We want you here, not in Paxton. If the mate bond with Alex doesn't function as it should, it's best for you to stay put. Once things settle and war between the packs is avoided, Elyon must allow you to leave Moon Shine freely."My parents wouldn't budge on their stance. I had asked them thirty minutes ago to lodge a formal complaint against Elyon with the Council so that I could obtain permission to depart without facing repercussions from any pack. However, they had a different perspective on the matter.They preferred that I not leave amidst the looming threat of war but rather for the issue to be settled so I could move freely. Until then, their plan was to protect me in Moon Shine since they had no access or influence in Paxton. We were now heading to Elyon's office.My parents had arranged a meeting with their Alpha, and as we reached the door, my father knocked. Once Elyon permitted us to enter, we stepped inside."Head Warriors, Becca," he greeted us war
"Becca, I always suspected you'd stir up trouble eventually. Why can't you accept that Elyon has a mate and keep your distance from my son? You hold the position of Luna now, what more do you want from him and our pack?"In all your life!! This Luna truly has the audacity!!My parents couldn't challenge her due to her status, but after my mating with Alex, I had risen to the Alpha rank as well. Bullying me was not done anymore. Rising slowly from my chair, I confronted Luna Denise. "Are you serious? Trouble? Stay away?" My voice was unyielding as steel. "Have you been drinking?! It's your son who trapped me here and subjected me to his indecent proposals! The last thing on earth that interests me is staying in this pack of yours. Even if he were taken over a thousand times, it wouldn't matter one bit!”“Look at where life has brought us. Meanwhile back home, I have a breathtaking handsome fiancé eagerly awaiting not only for me but also our soon-to-be-born pup. But what do we find in
Upon arriving at the airport, Artic lingered, seemingly wasting time. Even Jael appeared unhurried, they were chatting casually as if they had all the time in the world. Becca watched them impatiently, wondering if their sluggish pace was an intentional ploy to make her miss the flight. When she tried to assist him with a bag, he declined her help."Hey, what's going on with you?" she asked, sounding annoyed. "If you keep this up, I'll miss my flight. Please hurry."Artic nodded but continued to move at a slow pace. Upon finally reaching the check-in line, Becca realized that something was amiss."Hey, Artic, are you trying to make me miss my flight? First, you were holding us up and now you're heading toward the wrong line. You're really distracted," she remarked with a hint of annoyance. Artic paused and gave her an odd look."Are you sure this is the right entrance for our airline? Double-check your ticket," he advised. Becca responded with an eye roll."This entrance is for the fl
After the guests recovered from their initial shock, they slowly made way.Everyone moved aside, leaving two individuals in the middle of the room, staring at each other. The most remarkable thing about them was that one was an Alpha and the other was a ... human girl!They just kept glancing at each other, the Alpha's face first showing shock before it gave way to immense joy. But the woman stared at him with wide eyes as if she was still coming to terms with what had happened to her.It was Alpha Johnston!And he had met his second chance mate!And she was a human!She was average in appearance, not the outstanding beauty you usually meet in packs. But she had an hourglass figure, narrow hips and slender legs that made her worth a second look. Her white-blond hair was tied high above her head and fell straight down her back to her firm rear.Gasps of awe were wafting through the air, followed by the room buzzing with murmurs. It was as if the soap opera of Alex and Becca was repeati
The Council had decided to have Jonas installed as Alpha of Moon Shine and Johnston for Paxton in Full Moon, Jerney's pack in Canada.This decision was made for efficiency, otherwise, the same installation procedure would have to be done twice at different locations. The plan was that when the new Alphas returned to their respective packs, there would be a party to celebrate their appointments.Luna Becca traveled with the future Alphas in Jerney's helicopter now headed towards Full Moon. The hum of the helicopter's blades filled the air as they flew over the vast forests of Canada. It was such a calming image, nature in werewolf culture is a symbol of survival."It's quite an honor, isn't it?" Jonas remarked, glancing at Johnston.Johnston nodded, a grateful look in his eyes."Indeed. But it's also a heavy responsibility. We need to restore peace in our packs and ensure nothing like what happened with Becca ever happens again. Alex will serve as an example of how obsessive love can b
A chaotic situation erupted as wolves that had been following Elyon appeared on the scene.The sudden break in the link with their Alpha was felt both in Moon Shine and Paxton, signaling to everyone that Elyon had met his end. The wolves in the packs awaited the details with bated breath, unsure of what had transpired.Jerney and Artic quickly moved to tend to the wounded. Zane and Clea lay unconscious on the ground, their injuries severe. Blood pooled beneath them, staining the earth."Call an ambulance, now!" Jerney barked to Artic, urgency lacing his voice.Artic fumbled with his phone, his fingers trembling as he dialed for help."We need an ambulance immediately. Two injured, severe condition. Confidentiality is crucial."The paramedics arrived shortly, loading Zane and Clea onto stretchers. Becca stayed close to Zane, her heart breaking at the sight of his battered body. She clutched his hand tightly, tears streaming down her face as she begged the Moon Goddess to spare him, rem
All three men shifted back to human form.Elyon's eyes burned with a crazed fury as he snarled at Becca, who stood defiantly between him and Zane."You think you can escape me, Becca? You think I won't hunt you down to the ends of the earth? Wrong, mate! I will always find you, wherever you hide.". "I'm not your property, Elyon. I won't go back with you." Becca's voice was steady, but her eyes betrayed her fear. She knew Elyon was dangerous in this condition.Elyon's growl was low and menacing."You have no choice. You are mine, and you will always be mine. You better get used to that."Jerney and Artic moved to stand beside Becca and Zane, their presence a united front against Elyon's madness."Elyon, stop this!" Alpha Artic commanded. "You're out of control. This isn't the way to handle things."Elyon's gaze shifted to his colleague, his fangs bared."You dare to defy me? You think you can protect her from me? She is my mate! Nothing can change that. We already had the Luna ceremon
In a secluded clearing in the forest, Jerney and Artic paused to catch their breath.They were once again busy combing the entire area in search of Becca. The forest was dense, the underbrush thick with foliage that made every step a cautious one. They knew she would flee through the woods to reach any big city to blend in.They had been searching for days, especially after Becca didn't show up at the airstrip. Then Jonas confirmed that she had left the pack in a car, but all contact had been lost. He also said that Elyon had followed her and her car had crashed into a ravine, but her body had not been found. Elyon knew for sure that she wasn't dead because he had picked up her scent in the woods but had lost her trail. The Alpha then went on a rampage in Moon Shine after many search parties had failed.The Alphas knew they had to find Becca as soon as possible and bring her to safety. Staying on the yacht was better than in a big city where she would definitely encounter a wolf.The
Alpha Elyon was in a rage!His fury knew no bounds as he rampaged through the pack, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Becca had been missing for four days now, and no one had been able to track her down. Every time a patrol returned with zero results, his frustration grew. It annoyed him to no end, and he knew it wouldn't be long before he started killing.The Alpha was starting to show signs of insanity, and the pack members knew it. After the death of his mate, the damaged mate bond could have saved him from collapse because of his strong attraction to Becca. But now that even Becca had left and tried to reject him, his sanity couldn't handle it."A she-wolf! And I have invested millions of dollars in your training, clothing, and equipment," he snapped at his Beta, Jake, who came with more bad news. "You are worthless! You can't even track a woman. What kind of werewolves are you?!"He half-shifted, his fangs coming out as he stared at Beta Jake with bloodshot eyes."If I
"Oh, Becca, I thought I'd lost you," Zane murmured, his voice trembling with emotion."Never! I knew we would meet again, but I never imagined it would happen so soon and here,” Becca whispered, her voice breaking. "I missed you so much. How did you end up here, and where is our pup?"Becca clung to him out of sheer joy.“He’s with my father. I was on my way to Jerney and Alpha Artic, my friend. I encountered a roadblock, and the officers took me here for interrogation. They wanted to know where you are, suspecting that you were with me.”Zane grabbed her hand tightly. "We need to be careful," he stated. "Elyon won't stop looking for you. We have to stay one step ahead."After the initial bliss of their reunion, a sobering reality settled over Becca and Zane. The joy of finding each other after such a harrowing ordeal was palpable, but the danger that surrounded them was undeniable.Zane's expression turned serious as he recounted his experience. "Becca, those men who detained me, I h
For two days, Becca stayed in hiding, her heart twinged with every sound that reached her ears. The dense forest provided some shelter, but the constant fear of being discovered kept her on edge. She lay low beneath the thick canopy of trees, her wolf senses heightened, listening for any sign of danger.The first night was the hardest.As the moon rose high in the sky, Elyon's mournful howl echoed through the trees, sending shivers down her spine. The sound of his sorrowful cry pierced the silence, and Becca's heart ached. She could feel the pull of the mate bond, a reminder of the vow she had taken. Despite everything, a part of her felt his anguish, but she knew she couldn't turn back.Now that she was Luna, the mind link with the Moon Shine pack was also open. The sudden influx of voices was overwhelming, and she could hear the chaos and shouts of the pack members. The loss of their Luna was a hard blow, they all were near a breakdown.‘The Luna is missing! We must find her! Everyo
