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
Still Becca’s Point of ViewI agreed with Jerney to call back once I got home.We had to work out this new plan properly; we couldn't afford to let anything go wrong. I had to be very careful, my pup must not be in any kind of danger on the way to his father.Once home, I fed Klevin and put him to sleep in his crib. As I lay in bed, my mind raced with plans and potential pitfalls. This mission was daring and risky, but I had no choice. I had to think through every detail.Someone would have to take Klevin to Zane, but it couldn’t be a werewolf. If Elyon was on my trail, a werewolf with a baby would definitely attract his attention, and he might sense that the pup was mine. Who knew how he would act after his discovery? As crazy as it may seem, I needed a human to take my half-werewolf baby to New York.And then an idea slid into my head. My new friend.Joe!Incredible! It was as if the Moon Goddess herself had sent him, knowing how desperately I needed help. My joy was boundless; I s
The connection is made and then I see his face."Zane!" I exclaimed, reaching out to touch his image on the screen, yet feeling an overwhelming distance between us.“Zane, I love you so much,” I confessed again to the love of my life. He chuckled softly and stared at me."Princess," he said warmly, "I've been waiting for this moment for so long. You're more beautiful than ever, so graceful and feminine now. Have you been taking good care of yourself?"I was overjoyed."We have a baby, Zane, our son."I picked Klevin up from the bed. He woke up earlier after I got him out of his crib and told him we would see his father now. Father and son gazed into each other's eyes, one laughing while the other cried joyfully. It felt as though Klevin understood what this moment meant and was looking forward to the moment with his dad.“I received the pictures, they're hanging all over the house and office. I truly wish I could have been there with you, holding him as he came into this world. My son
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
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.
