LOGINAlexandra POVHe held me in his arms and allowed me to fall apart for what felt like forever. However, I ran out of tears, and then I realised something wonderful.“Enzo, this is the place we met,” I said.He chuckled. “Define met. You fell from the sky, Alex.”“Wasn’t my intention. I slipped.”I looked up at the spot I slipped and fell into the moon pool. All I knew was this place would help me heal from the injuries Faye and her friends inflicted on me.I was done with Faye, and I was ready to take her down. Permanently if I had to. Locking her wolf wasn’t enough. Maybe I’d just have to separate her from her beast.“I’m glad you did,” Enzo said, kissing my forehead.“Enzo, have you ever… shared visions with Faye before?” I asked.If I could share visions with Enzo Jr maybe Enzo Senior shared visions with his first daughter.“No. I’m pretty sure I had one with Dawn when she was taken. She wasn’t scared.”“You have!” I gasped. “No way!”“Are you happy or mad?”“I have no idea what thi
Alexandra POV“I shouldn’t have said all that, Ellis,” I sobbed.She looked up from changing Enzo, battling the urge to roll her eyes and went back to changing his diaper.“I was just scared and mad. I wasn’t thinking straight. How could I tell him not to come back to me?” I sniffled back-to-back.My soul was bleeding, and my wolf hadn’t stopped howling.“Having a mate is such a wonderful thing. You can’t stay mad at each other,” Ellis said.“It’s not about that,” I said.“It’s not? Hmm, then do tell me what it’s about, Alex.”My godmother’s tone borders on sarcastic and impatient.“I should have been there too. They’re my pups just as much as they are Enzo’s. I should have been with my family. We’re a unit. Now my daughter’s gone.”“Are you seriously blaming yourself, Alexandra?”“Who else am I going to blame, Ellis?” My voice cracked.“Your ex, your stepdaughter, the list is endless. However, you should speak to your mate. Being separated is bad enough, but being separated from his
Emmie POV Baby Enzo calmed down. He had his father’s eyes. He found solace playing with my hair. Even though the baby was calm, the pack house certainly wasn’t. I’m not talking about Alexandra yelling at Enzo upstairs. The pack house was totally ruined. I was lucky to find a chair that wasn’t upside down to sit on. However, each raspy yell that came from my best friend squeezed my heart. They just have to find Dawn. She’s just a baby. She needs her mother’s warmth. Azeal settled beside me. He sat so close our knees touched. “He looks good on you,” Azeal said, placing a kiss on my shoulder. “He likes my hair more than anything.” Azeal placed another kiss on my shoulder. “I see you carrying our pup soon.” Heat rushed to my cheeks, and my insides knotted together. “Uh…” “A little girl or boy.” We hadn’t had the pup conversation. I avoided it at all costs because I didn’t know how to tell him what the psychic said. I’ve told him everything else, including my deepest fantasies an
Enzo POVI held out my arm for Azeal. He laughed and grabbed my arm. “That was the best mating ceremony ever!”“Oh, come on,” I mumbled.“Fuck yeah! Did you see the way those pups went running?”I’d been in the Shifter Region long enough to know those were Iron Claw pack wolves. Fuck, so much for our agreement.“I need to find my bride. Those bastards shouldn’t think they’ll ruin my wedding night. Nash!” Azeal shouted.I walked away. I needed to find my mate too. She linked me to know my location. I was outside the room I hid the twins in. The guard and nanny were inside. My wolf wanted to stay, but I knew I needed to go out there because the chaos only got worse.Oddly, the wolves all vanished when I appeared.That’s when the strain happened in the mate bond. It dragged at me like a body through the dirt. I clutched my chest as my soul filled with agony.My wolf howled in my mind. Then something I’d never experienced happened. The world around me vanished and propelled me into the mi
Alex POVThe screams only multiplied, and the damage continued.Massive wolves jumped out from the forest like monsters with their red, hellish eyes and thick, razor-sharp claws. I could see them causing damage in the backyard from the front door.“Damn it!” Nash spat.“Everyone to the back! Abandon positions. I need everyone accounted for!” Nash began to bark orders.My wolf came forward too, urging me to shift. There was no time for fear and anxiety. I had to act. It’s my job.I didn’t wait for Nash to turn around and bark orders at me. I ran towards the flying chairs and tables.The mating ceremony was unrecognisable!The lanterns in the trees and the rose petals on the floor had been destroyed. Broken chairs and glass littered the floor.All gone within seconds.Guests clashed with each other as they scrambled to get away. Others pushed their loved ones into the ominous woods while they shifted to attack those who sought to harm us first.Our attackers came by the hundred. They kn
Alex POVContrary to what I believed, Faye and Xavier remained on their territory the entire time. None of their shifters had left the pack either. The two-week deadline was quickly approaching. With Faye and Xavier at bay, I had enough peace of mind to help Emmie prepare for her mating ceremony.Her mother, Nora, was completely out of the picture. I called her a thousand times this past week because a she-wolf’s mother was essential on the mating ceremony day. However, Nora was a hard nut to crack. However, Ivan was all in. He couldn’t wait to hand over Emmie to Azeal in front of the Shifter Region.There was tension between Ivan and Emmie. I could tell my best friend didn’t know how to act around him. She’d seen her biological father buried in the middle of nowhere, and now the man who raised her wanted to act as if nothing had happened.Crazy enough, Emmie was going along with it, but the underlying issues remained.The mating ceremony took place at night. The Golden Paw pack’s fir
Alex POVHer smile was suspicious, and coming up to me as if we were friends was an even bigger red flag.“Sure… I have a few seconds to spare.”“Reynolds can see you’re with me. He wouldn’t interrupt us.”I nodded. “Alright, what do you want?” My heart hammered hard against my chest, making my che
Alexandra POV“You’re glowing, you know that?” Emmie said.“Shh! Why did I call you again?”“I need all the juicy details about sex with the Supreme Alpha.”“Ugh!”Emmie offered to help me work Ellis’s ball because the sex toy business was slow in the Golden Paw pack. I really thought it was going
Enzo POV The front door closed, and Blaze walked in. “Is she alright?” I asked. Blaze dumped the car keys on the table. “She seemed occupied. She didn’t say much.” “Fuck… this is not how I expected it to go.” “How’d you expect it to go, man? Did you think you’d mark her and spend the rest of th
Alexandra POV“No! I’m not,” I protested.“Girl, you’re pink in the face. You can’t lie to me.”“I haven’t… it hasn’t gone that far.”Emmie gasped. “You told me yourself he’s Faye’s father. What do you think she’s going to do when she finds out?”“She won’t! Please stop.” I cradled my head in my ha
