“Johnston, Clea. You know that conspiracy against the Alpha is sentenced with the death penalty. You can be classified as traitors. I can have you both executed at once. Unreliable wolves, especially high ranks, are a great danger to the pack.”Alpha Alex's voice resonated menacingly through the mind link, sending a chill down their spines. The two sat in the Alpha's study, exchanging anxious glances.“We are definitely not traitors. We planned to take her to Paxton, as you mentioned earlier. In addition, the Council is a legal body and as high-ranking wolves, we are obliged to comply with orders. Nothing we did was illegal or jeopardizing the pack,” Johnston countered, his voice steady.Alex let out an incredulous snort. "Do you think I’m a fool? I know deceit when I see it. You conspired behind my back, and now you're trying to justify it. Traitors deserve nothing but the harshest punishment."The tension between the three parties vibrated through the mind link. If they were close,
Becca’s Point of ViewI put all my effort into suppressing the growing resentment I felt towards Alex.At this point in my pregnancy, such negativity wouldn't benefit our little one; it was important for me to remain balanced.The Alpha appeared to be completely different.The cruel edges of his personality seemed gentler now, as he attempted to get me used to his constant closeness. Throughout the day, he engaged me in a variety of conversations about world politics and climate change, making it increasingly evident how much our opinions diverged.The midwife had just entered the house, carrying a few bottles of freshly squeezed juice with her. She was a warm and welcoming woman from the island, always reassuring me that everything would go smoothly with my upcoming delivery."Madam, I'm back! Look what I found," she said with a contented grin while holding two bottles up in the air."Thanks, Dorian," I said gratefully. "You and Alex always ensure I've got enough vitamins. With this
'Becca, wake up!'Groggily I raised my head and glanced around. The early morning darkness still enveloped the world outside the window, while Alex lay fast asleep beside me.'Becca, it's time. The pup is on the way. Wake Alex to take you to the hospital.'I realized it was my wolf, Era, speaking to me. She was right; I even felt a slight spasm in my back."Alex, wake up! The pup is coming. We need to get to the hospital immediately."I gave his arm a firm shake. Although Alex was usually a deep sleeper, he seemed ready this time since he knew I was about to give birth. He leapt out of bed immediately."Is it time already, Becca? Are you feeling any pain?" he asked with concern in his voice while reaching for his phone. With shaky fingers, he sent a message to the pilot and midwife as per their plan. Then, turning back to me, he wrapped me in his arms and gently caressed my back."Don't worry, baby. I'm here," he whispered worriedly. "Everything will be okay, the hospital is ready to
“The Alpha has a son!”In Paxton, the announcement of the Alpha's son's birth sent excitement rippling through the pack. Fireworks illuminated the sky and were visible from miles away, while some members transformed into their wolf forms and embarked on a spontaneous run through the nearby forest. The finest wine was brought out from the packhouse as they raised toasts in celebration of the Alpha heir until they reveled in drunken merriment.Alex had shared the news of his first son's birth with the pack through their collective mind link.Johnston was completely shocked by Alex's demeanor. The Alpha spoke about his son with such joy, as if he were the biological father. To Johnston’s astonishment, when he inquired about the pup’s name, Alex snapped at him. Also, when Johnston had informed him about the day of his return, the Alpha got angry."Clea, are you following any of this? Alex is an emotional mess. Even though Becca is pushing him away, he keeps clinging to her. Now he's insis
By the time Johnston knocked on Zane's door, it was already noon.He questioned if the man was at home, considering he might be at work. Suddenly, a voice startled him for an instant."Johnston. What are you doing here?" Zane asked in a cold voice."Man, I really need to talk to you urgently. Trust me, you'll want to hear this," he urged Zane persuasively. There was a sigh followed by the sound of an electronic whir as the door unlocked and opened slightly. Johnston stepped through but encountered another barrier before him, which also clicked open at Zane's command. Once inside, he finally faced his host directly."Listen, Zane," Johnston started apologizing again, "I know our friendship became distant when I returned Becca to her mate. My only hope is that someday you'll understand it was the only option I had. But this time I've got some good news for you. At least, given the circumstances.” Zane regarded him with an emotionless expression."And what exactly is this good news? Last
Xena’s Point of ViewI was getting closer to my destination and could hardly wait to finally meet Becca's fiancé, Zane.My plan was to take him to Paxton and insist that Alex officially reject Becca as Luna in front of his pack. This would allow Zane to leave with her immediately. With the presence of Moon Shine’s Luna, the warriors at Paxton were bound by Were laws not to attack since a visiting Luna and her entourage are protected when visiting other packs. Before entering Paxton, I intended to request authorization, which couldn’t be denied without a valid reason.With renewed enthusiasm to execute my plan and finally eliminate Becca from my life, I increased the speed of the SUV. If everything proceeded as intended, we would reach Paxton by tonight, ensuring that Becca would be out of my life for good by tomorrow morning. Elyon might be enraged for several weeks, but his hands were tied since the Council was closely monitoring him in this situation, a fact I had gleaned through ca
Zane’s Point of ViewHandling this case before I could be completely happy with Becca and my son was the most important thing to me now.Johnston had postponed his return trip to his pack for a day to assist me in this lawsuit. He stayed in touch with his friends there to track his alpha's movements with Becca.For my part, I wanted to have this problem with Marelva resolved before I held Becca and my child in my arms. Becca had twice fled from me because of this delusion of Marelva, and that had plunged us into this hopeless misery. Now I wanted to reassure her that she shouldn't feel any guilt about the triplets and Marelva.Today I’d prove that I had nothing to do with Marelva and her life.So, Becca and I, after this, we could then start our lives again with our son, my only child with my only love.When my new friend, also Marelva’s landlord Jeteh, told me with great conviction that Marelva's children were not mine, I actually already knew the truth. But I knew that the bureaucra
Before the hearing started again, my lawyers filed a criminal complaint about rape that would be added to the case.In the event that Marelva's babies were not mine, this charge would be completed with an official statement from me. Marelva's claim that I was the father and she was impregnated through sex justified the case.Hearing my complaint, Marelva constantly shot me stinky eyes. If those were able to kill me, man, I’d be on my way to the morgue now, cold and done.If the children were mine, I would not dream of having their mother thrown in jail. I would never risk the hatred of my children, even though I had sex with their mother against my will. But now that the cards were different and given the damage she had caused to my family, I was not prepared to let her go free. Three people now suffered from her bad character and that could not go unpunished.I listened anxiously as the clerk again presented my demands and handed the envelope with the test results to the judge. In ad
Fifteen Years LaterZane and Becca stood impatiently on the terrace of their luxurious villa, waiting for their five sons. They are coming home after spending several years abroad doing internships. All five have their master’s degrees, but Zane thought it was necessary for them to gain work experience after their studies, preferably in less developed countries. He had arranged for them to live and work in Africa for two years and another two years in the Caribbean.Now they are all coming home as agreed.Becca insists that they visit the packs of their origins and now is the right time. She has made arrangements with Classy, Clea and Jael to meet as a family in Moon Shine."They're here at last, Zane," Becca said as she shuffled her feet. “I’ve missed them so much.”Zane nodded, his eyes scanning the driveway.“Me too, love. It’s been too long. But I know they are now ready for everything coming their way.”They watch as the boys get out of the car, approaching with wide smiles on
Five Years Later …Becca stroked her round belly as she wrapped up the meeting with Zane's protocol team.Jael and Clea sat next to her, while their mates discussed business in another room. The air was filled with the occasional clatter of papers, the scent of coffee was all around just as the faint aroma of freshly baked pastries.Jael and Clea looked at Becca with amusement."Tired?" Jael asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief."My back," Becca groaned. "I think I need a massage. It's taking too long for him to decide to come out. I'm so tired."Both friends exchanged knowing glances and chuckled."Oh, I'm sure you'll get through this again," Clea said reassuringly. "All your pups are so pretty. If it's a girl this time, we can finally take turns doing her hair."Becca looked at her friends mockingly."You all have girls already. Let me take care of the boys."A burst of laughter broke out in the room. Jael and Clea each had two daughters, and it looked like the bo
Deeply absorbed in her thoughts, Becca failed to notice that the limousine was turning onto Fifth Avenue.Her mind was consumed with memories and the excitement of seeing Zane and their son again. The soothing purr of the engine and the plush leather seats offered a comforting refuge, letting her briefly drift away into her reverie.Suddenly, the vehicle stopped in front of a grand building that was brilliantly illuminated. Bathed in the warm glow of twilight, the Cathedral appeared both impressive and almost magical. The ringing church bells jolted Becca back to reality.Klevin Sr. held the door open for her, and as she exited, she realized they had arrived at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. She covered her mouth in awe, she'd never found the time to visit it before. Now, it seemed like she was about to enjoy a meal there with Zane.Zane's father gently placed her hand on his elbow, guiding her up the stairs. At the top, they proceeded along a hallway until they stood between two doors. B
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
