Becca’s Point of ViewThe following morning at breakfast, everyone seemed tense, except me. This was the first time I'd visited here since I arrived. My appetite hadn't been great over the past few months, but today I felt like I could devour an entire bear on my own. So, I dug in while Marelva, Xena, and Alex looked at their plates with discontent.Elyon kept sneaking glances at me, which I chose to disregard entirely. Meanwhile, Johnston appeared lost in his own world, seemingly oblivious to everything around him. Lance and Elise also appeared to be struggling, and I suspected Marelva might be the reason. I was unsure if Elise was aware of her husband's involvement with Marelva, but unless she chose to talk about it with me directly, I wouldn't bring it up.However, the mischievous side of me couldn't resist taking a vengeful jab at Marelva."How did you sleep last night?" I began the conversation with Elise by saying, "I imagine it's challenging to find a comfortable sleeping posit
As I entered the hospital, I was greeted by the head nurse with enthusiasm. She hastened to call in the doctor.“The Luna is here for a check-up,” she informed the doctor on duty. The doctor walked to me with a smile, but when he looked behind me, his face tightened.“Did you come alone, Luna? Where is Alpha Alex then?” he asked in surprise. “This is your first consultation here, so I was expecting he wanted to be with you.”“In the packhouse with our guests. Can we start now, doctor?” I insisted, a bit irritated. The doctor's eyes flickered with concern, but he nodded and led me down the hall. We walked through a door into a room filled with all kinds of brand-new equipment.“Please, lie down and pull your dress up to your breasts. Cover your lower body with the blanket, please,” he instructed as he stepped out of the room. I did as I was told and waited for him to return. After a few minutes, he was back, his expression more serious than before.As he began the examination, I follow
Becca is no longer here.Her story continues to haunt me. I've never experienced anything like it before; I always believed the Moon Goddess flawlessly paired werewolves. However, in Becca's case, a lot seems wrong.Based on what she said and my own observations, I must conclude that her relationships are quite skewed. With Becca alone, there are at least three complex connections that she’s dealing with.Yet, isn't the mate bond supposed to be powerful enough to keep mates united and inseparable? Shouldn't the mate pull ignite such fierce desire for each other that staying apart becomes impossible? But I saw right before my eyes that there is at least one case where neither the bond nor the pull controls mates. This phenomenon is entirely new to me; I've never observed anything like it in any werewolf relationship before.It's also my responsibility to ensure that every wolf is content, which keeps the packs strong and secure. This is how the Council's structure operates: Alphas rep
Alpha Alex’ Point of View"Alpha, we've captured an intruder on our pack land!” I was astounded when my Head Warrior communicated this to me through the mind link. This is Paxton, the pack everyone steered clear of because they were well aware of how I handle uninvited guests, especially rogues. No, I genuinely doubt this was just a random incident, there has to be more behind it. "A rogue?" I growled, irritation rising to the surface. "You won't believe this, but the guy is a Beta," the warrior explained skeptically. "He says he's from the Shadow Moon pack and was heading to the border when his GPS led him astray." That significantly alters the situation. A Beta from an allied pack isn't really considered an intruder, we require substantial evidence before making any accusations against him. If his GPS malfunctioned and led him astray, per our agreement, we're obligated to host him for at least a day until he's able to proceed on his journey. "Treat him with respect according t
"I apologize, Alpha. I was heading to the bathroom," Beta Arthus said, his face red with embarrassment.After a brief, uneasy glance, he quickly turned and rushed off.I glanced at Becca and, to my surprise, noticed an emotion cross her face, shame. I hadn't expected that reaction, it turned out she still cared about how others perceived us.An excellent beginning.I gently took her hand, sensing her reluctance as we stepped onto the terrace together, portraying a happy couple stealing a private moment. However, I could tell by the expressions of our onlookers that they sensed the tension and realized something was amiss between us. Their furtive glances were clear signs that our act wasn't convincing anyone.Disregarding everything, we resumed our seats.The air gradually cleared up as we engaged in the conversation. Eventually, the Beta came back, his previous embarrassment giving way to a more composed demeanor. As the evening progressed, he excused
Still Alpha Alex’ Point of ViewAfter lunch, we retreated to our rooms for a much-needed afternoon nap. The day's activities were tiring, and I welcomed the brief respite. Johnston took it upon himself to guide the Beta to his room, making sure our guest felt comfortable and settled in. In the meantime, I headed to my office to get in touch with Alpha Terzic regarding the status of his Beta. I dialed his number and waited as the phone rang a few times before he picked up. "Your Beta has arrived at my pack and will be staying with us for a few days." I let him know. "His GPS stopped working, causing him to lose his way. We've repaired it now, so he can depart whenever he's ready or stay on a bit longer if he'd like. Alpha Elyon from Moon Shins is also here, so he will have a great time in my pack.” On the other side, I heard the Alpha's deep voice, carrying a strictly formal tone. "Thank you, Alpha Alex," he replied upon hearing the new
The following morning, Becca woke up early. She extended her body completely, relishing the satisfying stretch as her muscles awakened. After climbing out of bed, she moved to the balcony for a breath of fresh air. The cool morning breeze welcomed her with scents of dew and blooming flowers. Closing her eyes, she allowed the tranquility of the early hours to envelop her senses. After sitting for a few minutes, savoring the tranquility, she decided to take a long walk through the nearby forest. Specialized internet sites advised that exercise is beneficial during pregnancy, and she'd read extensively about it. In Park Slope, she used to do several laps around the neighborhood each morning with Jerney and always felt rejuvenated afterward. The memory brought a smile to her face. She moved from the balcony to the walk-in closet and changed into some sports clothes. Wearing sneakers and a towel draped around her neck, she left the packhouse and made her way toward the enticing forest.
Beta Arthus’ Point Of ViewI'm an early riser. While doing my daily fitness exercises on the balcony, I suddenly spotted the Luna leisurely walking into the woods. The early morning light cast a serene glow, highlighting her graceful movements. Not far behind, I noticed Alpha Elyon following her at a reasonable distance. Fascinating. I chose to be the second follower, suspecting that something suspicious might still be occurring between the two. The forest was silent except for the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. I moved cautiously, my senses heightened as I trailed behind them. I was sent here by my Alpha with very little information. He advised me to carry out unbiased research on the dynamics developing within the packhouse of Paxton, ensuring that external information did not influence my findings. The only details I had for this mission were that the Luna was seeking to escape her destiny and Alpha Ale
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.
