LOGINAlexandra 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 POV“He wants to take half of my population! Some of my best betas. How could my mother make such a corrupt deal?” Nova broke down in tears.Since we went out to meet her her story’s been frantic and heated. From what I could understand, her pack was in danger and her mother was a fraud who wasn’t talking to her and now she was alone to sort out this mess.There was a lot to unpack, but it was also freezing outside.“You have to do something, Enzo,” Nova pleaded.“How about we go inside and then you can make sense of everything?” I grumbled.“Alex’s right. Let’s sit down and tell me what your mother did. It was probably behind my back.”“Of course it was behind your back! I can’t imagine you agreeing to something like this. All pack treaties are binding.”I shot Enzo a knowing look. I knew in my gut that whatever was going on in the Shifter Region had something to do with the treaties.“I received word from Alpha Xavier’s pack. They claim you threatened their Alpha’s life.”When d
Alexandra POVA white wolf with sea-blue eyes flickered in my mind’s eye. My wolf! She was my wolf.“Hell no,” Faye growled.She was majestic and serene, but most of all, she was huge like an Alpha female. The disconnect between us was like trying to speak to someone two towns over, trying to use a
Alexandra POVThe hoodlum threw me into a guest room and shut the door. Inside were two other guards, a woman sat on the edge of the queen-size bed, my ex-boyfriend and Faye.I exhaled deeply.“What’s this about?” I demanded.Luna Eleanor dusted her wrist. “Straight to the point, I like that. You’r
Alexandra POV“Fuck, mate,” Enzo grunted.I sucked his entire length with slow and steady strokes. He was thick, which made it difficult for me to handle. Enzo reminded me to breathe when I had him between my lips. He was just as heavy as I thought he’d be.This wasn’t the silly dildo I had in my
Alexandra POV “Why do you trust him?” I asked softly.“I don’t. He’s got a skill that I value right now.”I nodded. I was eager to find out what he found out, and another part of me was scared. What were the odds that one of my biological parents was still living in the shifter region this whole t
