Victoria’s POV “I can’t believe you’re alive.” I wept and hugged my grandmother with relief. She beamed at me. It had not taken us too long to arrive back at Zane’s. His grandfather was waiting patiently by the main gate and “But what about the red river pack? They will come after us, won’t they?” I could not help but worry since Alice had witnessed me on the scene. Alpha Evan would not be impressed when he found out that was true. Zane sighed and pulled me into his chest. “It will be ok, don’t worry. They will never be able to hurt you again. That’s a promise!” He reassured me, and I felt his fists clench as he said it. I could tell that he hated how that pack had treated me. I hated it too. Every day I had been made to feel like I were nothing but dirt, treated like a slave and forced to starve. I was confident I would never get out of there, so when Alex appeared, it felt like a dream come true. “Thank goodness you’re back. It looks like
Victoria’s POV I blinked a few times, wondering if I had heard Zane correctly. “They were declaring war on Alex’s pack and searching for me?” This wasn’t going to end well. I decided I needed to sort this out myself, once and for all. I could not let Alex’s pack suffer because of me. “Victoria, don’t do anything rash; you are perfectly safe here. They will never even know this place exists. They won’t find you.” He started to say, but I wasn’t listening. Alpha Evan and his daughter were pure evil, they would destroy anyone who got in their way, and as Alex did not even remember me, he wouldn’t fight back. They would walk all over him and the entire pack. I could not allow that to happen. There was a knock on the door, causing me to growl, and then seeing a young girl nervously step away, I felt terrible. My face softened, and I smiled at her. “I am sorry; how can I help you?” I asked in a friendly tone, ignoring Zane, who was still
Alex’s POV I don’t know what it was, but something about the smell had me going deeper into that forest. I was so confused because it was not the same scent that reminded me of Eliza. My Wolf was starting to go insane, and it was difficult for me to calm him down. The smell was getting stronger and stronger until I stopped in my tracks. There stood the most beautiful female I had ever seen, but I did not understand why she appealed to me since I already had my mate. My Wolf was desperate to get close to her, but seeing she was not alone made me think twice. I watched from a distance as the two talked, and he touched her arm, causing her to smile and laugh. Who was he? I felt like I knew her, as did my Wolf, but I could not remember. Why could I not remember? Suddenly I got a whiff of Eliza. Letting out a slight growl, I turned around and was shocked to see her in Wolf form. She was heading straight for the female and male. What sho
Victoria’s POV He looked clueless as to hearing my name. It irritated me so much to know that this was all Eliza’s doing, and she looked smug about it. Zane promised me that she would not get away with it, and I was going to ensure that she did pay for her actions. No matter what. “She is talking nonsense,” Eliza grunted as Zane held her down so she could not run away or attack. “Oh, am I?” I growled at her and walked right over to Alex, where I quickly sunk my teeth into his neck, and he shuddered at my touch. Images of our early childhood rushed through his mind, flashes of when we were reunited at the red river pack, right the way through to him asking me to be his Luna and meeting my grandmother. It was all there, and I had opened the door to memory lane for him. He gasped as it all hit him at once. Eliza’s mouth fell open as her stupid spell was suddenly broken. She was unable to do a damn thing about it. “My daddy will h
Alex’s POV I knew that something was not quite right. Here I was staring at the girl who was my actual mate. My Victoria. How dare this imposter try to fool me. Her father was obviously angered that he had been so humiliated in front of so many witnesses. Victoria’s friend held Eliza down so she could not escape his clutches. He had no idea what he was dealing with because this girl was absolutely crazy. I had to get back to my pack house before any more damage was caused. Eliza was glaring at me and then I saw the fake crocodile tears and that made me even madder. How dare she. Did she really think that she could get around me that easily. She had almost destroyed my life. I was so thankful that she had not been able to go through with that Luna ceremony. My eyes slowly darted towards Victoria. My one true mate. She was the one who had been blessed to me and I felt overwhelmed with guilt for not recognising he
Victoria’s POV As soon as we reached the pack grounds ground, I felt something staring right at me. Zane had taken Eliza down to the cell to calm down while we decided what to do next, but I was shocked to see two familiar faces standing a few feet away from me. Alice and Luna were standing staring at me with smirks on their faces. They were dressed in black, and then Alpha Evan's shadow appeared behind them. They parted to make way for him and did not take their eyes off of me. “Is there a reason why they are here?” Zane appeared by my side and pointed their way rudely, causing me to stifle a burst of laughter. Alex walked towards the three of them. “What is going on?” He wanted to know. “We’ve come to take Eliza home.” Alice crossed her arms over her chest and smirked smugly. That bitch tried to ruin me and my mate and our whole pack; why would she be allowed to get off Scot free? I knew that he would not keep to his word. “She is
Eliza wanted to sacrifice herself for her family. I was unsure if this was some trick, but she seemed emotional and upset. I wasn’t sure if she saw the wrong in her actions, but it seemed like a good start. “No, you will not do anything such thing.” Her father screamed furiously, rattling the chains bound him to the metal barrier. I realised that it was the wolfsbane preventing them from being able to shift into their wolves. I would have whipped their arses and ripped them into pieces limb by limb if Zane’s grandfather had not stepped in. This was my pack, my land and my life. I was not about to be taken for a fool. They were going to regret ever crossing me. “Let her speak.” Victoria touched my arm gently, sending bolts of electricity through me, and she smiled up at me with their big wide eyes of hers. Oh, how I had missed this girl. My beautiful mate. “I want to know what you have to say for yourself.” Victoria turned to Eliza and said.
Victoria’s POV In a minute, the whole fire was put out, and I took a deep breath. Looking over my shoulder, I saw Zane gazing ahead at the pack house with his grandfather beside him. They were deep in conversation, and I knew it was them that had used a powerful spell to put the fire out. Alex came rushing out all red-faced. “Thank you. You saved my pack.” He rushed to Zane and Jacob and fell to his knees, thanking them repeatedly. “Maybe you will see that your prisoners are freed.” I felt sick as a horrible feeling washed right over me. Daryl. How did he get here, and who told him we were here? My eyes darted across to that wretched alpha and his poisonous Luna. It had to be one of them. “And who the hell are you to order around like that? I think that you will find that this here is my pack. I make the rules around here.” Alex leapt up and growled in the face of a smirking Daryl. He did not seem intimidated by Alex whatsoever. I h
