Axel

Ever since I was a child, I always knew that it was my duty to beget.

It was a rule that my father's father always instilled and passed down from generation to generation as a consequence of a legacy. As men and Alphas of a pack, our duty was to ensure that our bloodline remained in power.

“The day I die, you will become Alpha of the Crescent Pack,” my father said one August morning as he took me hunting in the woods when I was just ten years old.

I remember those words well because it was the first time he spoke to me openly about his death.

“You're never going to die, Father,” I said, not knowing that as I grew older, he would become a stern and at times ruthless father.

“That's going to happen,” my father said sternly. "Death is the surest reality we have. We are not immortal beings; anything can kill us."

“Humans can't do that,” I said with a frown, and my father softly laughed.

“Sure they can, if they know how to do it,” my father said and sighed. "That's why I need you to t

  • My mate's betrayal   Chapter 107

    AxelThe red notebook did not contain a guide to power.The red notebook was clear evidence of my father's brazenness and his crimes.With disgust, I read how he not only studied the blood of the strongest bloodlines but also created genetic schemes on them to gain power. He stole information and manipulated three families so that their bloodlines would not migrate to other herds.But the worst part was not that; it was that Father, long before I even had a clue about anything, thought it was in my best interest to marry Selene because she was not only born from the union of mates who shared a sacred bond, but he genuinely believed that she would inherit some kind of important power because she was conceived on a red moon.My father knew that the lineage of the women in Selene's family was very powerful, but he was unaware of her true power. That is why he extracted the blood of Selene's mother, just before she died, to study it with sorcerers.The results were mixed, but according to

    Axel“Why would you say that?” asked Aria immediately, genuinely perplexed by my attitude.“Because if I had any hope left of engaging in any kind of decent copartenial relationship with Selene, you just ruined it by undermining her like that,” I said without hesitation.Aria raised her eyebrows and looked at me as if seeing me for the first time.“I thought that's what you would want and that—”“You're the sanest advisor I have, a person I really trust, but what's going on with Selene is for me to handle and for no one to meddle in,” I spat firmly and looked at everyone.Nick smiled sadly at me, as did Beth and Mara.Eugene looked genuinely surprised, as did the guards around us.“But Alpha—”“I don't want to hear about it,” I said flatly. “The situation is very critical, too critical, and Selene has been kind and gentle in narrating things.”“But she has your son; they can come back, and I don't think she is the Alpha Izan's mate,” Aria said in desperation. “Are you going to let her

    AxelI swallowed hard at Selene's request and froze.She needed help, and I could give it to her, but she was asking a lot more of me than I could really give her. I knew she was going to be feisty about the baby, but I never sized up the kind of protective mother she would become, and I lost it.At least she's the mother of your child, so don't be an idiot and make things right, whispered Mal, my wolf, with a lot of character.He had already come to terms with the defeat, but I still couldn't manage it.I felt like much of what had happened was a dream, a bad dream, but as I pinched my arm, I finally realized how real my torment was.“You know what I'm asking,” Selene said, and tears of frustration spilled from her eyes. "I don't want our child to grow up with feuding parents who hate each other's guts. I want this baby to know who he is and where he comes from and to see that his parents can have a good, friendly relationship for his well-being. If you agree to that, I will be more

    SeleneI woke up the next morning alone in bed.That was something out of the ordinary, so I got up immediately and looked for Izan. I found him brooding, sitting on the terrace and looking out at the vast forest around us. Something in his expression was not right.I could feel it.“Are you okay?” I asked him without any disguise.“Yes,” Izan said before sighing and then turning to look at me with a calm smile.However, I had learned to read this man like no one else.Something was wrong, but he didn't want me to get too upset.“You're not well, and that smile isn't going to distract me,” I said seriously.Izan stood up and approached me gently, grabbed my hips, and hugged me sweetly, so lovingly, that I couldn't help but relax. We didn't have to have the bond sealed to feel what the other felt. It was crazy, maybe from the fact that we had a sacred bond, but that calmed me down.“I'm fine; I'm just a little anxious about everything,” Izan finally admitted.That didn't surprise me, a

  • My mate's betrayal   Chapter 102

    IzanOf all the things I could imagine in life, watching Axel crawl on the floor was not one of them. It was somewhat shocking to realize that he understood perfectly what he had lost with Selene.Axel was not my favorite person in the world; a part of me wanted to beat him senseless for daring to hurt my mate, but another part also understood that he had been the victim of something else. And that, as much as it bothered me, I could totally understand.“Are you going to make sure Axel isn't a problem and doesn't do something to get Selene out of your pack?” asked Nick, Axel's Beta, briskly.I looked at the dark man with a frown.“You think what I warned you about inside my house was just a bluff?” I asked him in a lethal voice. "If anything ever upsets Selene in the slightest, rest assured I'm not going to give a damn about the rest of the world. Rest assured I'm going to take down whoever upset her, even if it's not on the fringes of the law."Nick stopped and looked at me seriously
