In Moon Shine, the Alpha wreaked havoc in the packhouse.Elyon arrived savagely angry after a fruitless journey to Paxton to fetch Becca. Alex had managed to hide Becca, she was nowhere to be found in his pack. Elyon was assured that she was not dead, Alex knew in advance that he would show up and had taken precautions. And with that, he signed his own death warrant.All the packhouse residents of Moon Shine hid from the craze of their Alpha.Within a few minutes, he had smashed the entire furniture into pieces; almost nothing was left of the kitchen. With crimson eyes and his wolf half visible, he made his way to his office, where he poured himself a strong whiskey. “Fuck you, Alex. Burn in hell,” he scolded angrily in the empty room.Searching for Becca in this situation was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he knew. Paxton members would not provide him with any information until he had seriously mistreated a couple of them, instilling great fear in them. And he definitely in
Jonas’ Point of ViewEither someone had betrayed us, or Alex's intelligence was exceptional.We fell into the trap with surprising ease, I should have planned additional diversions before taking to the main road. Everything unfolded too seamlessly, which should have alarmed me. Alex kidnapped Becca and captured me in the simplest way.Fortunately, because of that Beta's intervention, I escaped ending up in one of those grimy dungeon cells reeking of decaying flesh and dried blood clots. And although I was a wolf and had undergone adequate training, I wasn't prepared for a situation like that in the dungeon.I found myself in a luxurious apartment on the top floor of the packhouse. The comfort was undeniable, with an Omega arriving every two days to tidy up and replace bed linens and towels. The meals were superb; had I my freedom, this experience would be akin to staying at a five-star hotel with all expenses covered. The security was tight; every day, the Chief Warrior came by to che
Zane stood on his patio, gazing off into the distance.A week had passed since he received the devastating news of Becca and their baby's passing. Now sober, his despair had diminished, allowing him to think clearly. He was certain now; Becca was still alive.He inhaled deeply a few times, clutching the railing more firmly to stay calm.The last time they were together, their passion was intense and unrestrained. She had insisted that he wait for her no matter what happened. Just weeks earlier, he had transferred a significant sum to her credit card once again, ensuring she never faced financial difficulties was important to him, especially as she prepared for the arrival of their child and now cared for him after his birth.Zane suddenly looked up. Even though the card was registered under her name, it was his PayPal account that handled all payments. Each transaction included details of the store's name and country.He entered the lounge with long strides and picked up his laptop. H
Zane’s Point of ViewAfter speaking with Anwar, I felt better than I had in ages.A renewed sense of hope replaced all my previous worries. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for my friend to come up with the results. He is an expert and had assured me that this task wasn't difficult, so I anticipated his initial report wouldn't take long to arrive.However, my father was also waiting impatiently. He appeared nervous and anxious, often frowning as he paced restlessly in the living room. We both wished for this ordeal to end quickly. Although he didn't know Becca well, her ability to bring me happiness meant everything to him. Just for that reason alone, she held a significant place in his heart. Now that she had given him a grandson, he felt nothing but affection for her."Dad, we can't continue like this," I said to him on the third day of our tense waiting at home. "We need a distraction soon, let's head to the training school. It could help us unwind."He rose from the couch wher
“If we're going to locate her, we need to figure out where Alex took her first,” Jonas informed his Alpha and Beta. “After he left with her at the emergency landing strip, I noticed a two-engine plane take off shortly after. He couldn't have gone very far, it would be a maximum of two hours from here. Unfortunately, that's all the information we currently have.”"That Alex certainly ensured we would be anxious after his death. I wonder if he did it on purpose," Elyon said, sounding irritated."There are several possibilities," Jonas chimed in. "We could retrace our steps from that day, head to the nearest airstrip, and ask questions there. Becca's parents might assist with this; they're not just excellent warriors but skilled trackers as well.""And Johnston knew his alpha better than anyone; he would be valuable in the search," he added.The Alpha had to think about this suggestion, recalling that everyone Jonas was recommending wasn't aligned with him. Was Jonas secretly building an
"Alpha, you're tracking Becca again. What were your plans for her?" Jonas inquired as he sat across from Alpha Elyon, who wore a satisfied grin on his face.Despite being obligated to follow Elyon's orders, his loyalty to Becca pressed heavily on him. He knew that when she was in Moon Shine, all she thought about was escaping; she never gave any indication that she was interested in being with Elyon. Furthermore, he doubted her perspective had shifted following Luna Xena's passing."She was going to be my Luna, as I had already promised her," Elyon stated resolutely. "The time had come to honor that commitment. We belonged together, we made an incredible team."Jonas paused, carefully choosing what to say next. "But she has a human mate and a child," Jonas calmly reminded his Alpha. "Don't you think she might choose them instead? She never made it a secret that she wanted to go back."Elyon's eyes started to redden as his irritation grew, his hands clenched into fists. He shot a furio
Becca's Point of ViewAlex was dead.I knew because the stabbing pain in my chest that made it nearly impossible for me to breathe was the rupture of the mate bond.The four warriors who watched over me, had felt it too. Suddenly, I saw them clutching their chests and bending over, stifled moans of agony. Five wolves experiencing the same pain could only mean one thing.But most notable was the recovery of the Alpha bond.This also meant that with the death of Alex, a new Alpha came to rule over Paxton.I didn't need too much imagination to know what could have happened. Elyon had killed Alex and taken over the pack. Due to the distance, the men couldn't make contact via the mind link.“Nobody tries to get in touch with anyone from Paxton,” I summoned the warriors with my Luna authority. “I’ll make the call and inform you how we will proceed further.” They nod and stood back in their positions.Just as I had watched Alex do earlier, I used the intercom to inquire about a plane to take
Becca’s Point of ViewWe sat side by side, maintaining a safe distance.Klevin kept his eyes open, observing Joe with keen interest. My pup was growing rapidly; his werewolf genes clearly dominated. Despite being only six weeks old, he acted like a human baby of four months. I chuckled as he tracked the stranger's every move intently. I always thought my little one was a daddy’s boy.At one point, Joe realized that he was being observed. “Little man, you’re a brave little protector for your mother,” he said amusedly to Klevin. "Don't worry about me, I mean no harm."In response, Klevin rewarded him with a toothless giggle, clearly showing his trust in Joe.“Where are you from, lady?" Joe inquired. "This is a common question here on the beach since we gather from many different parts of the world.” While my instincts assured me that Joe posed no threat, it was still wise to maintain some distance when interacting with strangers."My name is Becca. We’re from Park Slope, New York, and a
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
Becca swallowed hard, desperately trying to suppress the panic that was rising in her.She realized she had to fulfill her role, yet the situation felt overwhelmingly real. These ancient vows held deep and meaningful significance; it seemed sinful to misuse them for her own selfish purposes. But right now, she had no other choice left.“I do,” she said shakily, her voice barely above a whisper.“And do you, Alpha Elyon, promise to honor and protect your Luna, to lead with integrity and compassion, and to uphold the values of our pack?”“I do,” Elyon replied, his grip on Becca’s hand tightening. He stared at her blissfully, knowing there was no going back for her at this point. The vows were sacred, and even the Council would not be able to lift them.The Elder continued with the ceremonial rites, but Becca’s mind was elsewhere. She scanned the room, looking for any sign of Jonas or her parents. She needed to know that they were ready to execute their plan.Finally, the Elder concluded
The following day, Zane was a man on the edge.Desperation clawed at him at the thought that Becca was now bound to another Alpha. He was sure she didn’t approve of this, she loved only him and was already on her way back home. The image of her being forced into a life she didn't want haunted him relentlessly. Every fiber of his being screamed that he needed to act, that she might be in danger.He couldn't just sit back and wait for her to return. He had to do something. His mind raced with scenarios, each more troubling than the last. What if Elyon mistreated her? What if Becca was desperately trying to escape, waiting for him to come to her rescue? Zane's heart pounded in his chest as fear and worry threatened to overwhelm him.He paced his living room, running his fingers through his hair as he mulled over his next move. His usually sharp mind felt clouded with anxiety, but he forced himself to think clearly. The walls of the room appeared to close in on him, stifling him under the
Three faces turned towards Alpha Artic as he delivered his statement with complete conviction, condemning his fellow Alphas."Although I myself revere the mate bond, I firmly believe it must be completely mutual. It should never turn into a prison if it's not beneficial for both individuals involved."Jerney nodded with a serious expression. "Exactly, that's why the situation has escalated. The Council meeting was highly charged. Becca is currently at Moon Shine with her new mate, Elyon. Their Luna ceremony takes place tonight."Alpha Artic's eyes opened wide in surprise. "Elyon? How did this happen? Becca was supposed to be with Zane, not trapped in another bond."Jerney let out a deep sigh. "The Moon Goddess moves in mysterious ways. Becca and Elyon are second chance mates, yet the bond remains weak for Becca. Despite her rejection, Elyon is resolute in not accepting it, he’s determined to make her his Luna."Artic clenched his fists, the muscles in his jaw tensing. "This is insane.
The woman's body floated lifelessly in the water, gently rocked by the waves.On the yacht above, Luna Jael screamed in terror and called out to her mate for assistance. The man didn’t hesitate and dove into the water, swiftly swimming toward the unconscious woman. Upon reaching her, he pulled her onto a life raft and immediately began performing CPR. "Come on, breathe!" he yelled, as he rhythmically compressed her chest. His mate hurried over to them, tears streaming down her face and hands gripping her pregnant belly anxiously.As the minutes dragged on, feeling like an eternity, the lifeless woman coughed up water at last and began sputtering for air. The man let out a sigh of relief as he kept her head above water until they safely returned to the yacht."Why... why did you do this?" Jael stammered, her voice weak and trembling. "What were you thinking?"The man's eyes flared with anger."Your reckless actions could have cost you your life and put my mate and unborn pup in danger
Somewhere in the South...A striking couple walked hand in hand across the sandy beach towards the sea, carrying their surfboard under their arms.The woman looked up adoringly at the man, who gazed back at her with love. She had white-blonde hair, beautiful green eyes, and her tanned skin revealed that she spent a lot of time in the sun. Her stomach was slightly swollen, indicating she was a few months pregnant.The man was muscular with raven-black hair slicked back. A tattoo ran from his back over his shoulder to halfway down his chest. His facial features were sharply defined, and he exuded a high degree of authority, as expected of an Alpha, a man with heavy responsibilities.They were engrossed in conversation, only eyeing each other. The woman clearly enjoyed the man's full attention while he reserved all his attention for her. When they reached the shoreline, they let go of each other, smashed their board onto the waves, and skillfully waltzed over the sea.Neither of them not
As she waited for an answer, Becca paced the room, her mind racing.She couldn't let Elyon win. She had to find a way to break the bond, to protect her son and her future with Zane.Finally, her phone buzzed, and she quickly read the message from Jonas."Don't worry, we have a plan. Just go with him."Relief washed over her. She wasn't alone in this. She had allies, people who cared about her. She had to believe they could find a way out of this mess.Becca took a deep breath, her resolve hardening. She would find a way to break the bond and live on her own terms.She entered the walk-in closet and noticed it was full of clothes. As she inspected everything, she saw not only formal evening wear but also casual pieces, all designer and expensive. Elyon had prepared well for her arrival; he was sure he would have her back in the pack. Becca wondered if he had realized they were mates long before she had. She had been so focused on her baby and getting back to Zane that she had hardly no
