LAUREL’s POV
It is with a heavy heart that I walk into Ares’ room. But I put on a smile for my grieving friend's sake. His heart has been broken, the very least I can do is to cheer him up.

LAUREL’s POV Silence fills the room and all eyes fall on me. I am late, fashionably so. Quickly, I straighten up and flash a smile at Caleb, grateful that he had caught me before I fell flat on my face. He winks back and lets go of me. “Ahh…Beta Laurel, I trust that you have had enough of your beauty sleep?” Nox. Sarcasm drips from his every word as he greets me from the head of the table. He is seated in Helios’ chair with his legs comfortably propped up on the table and there is a smug look on his face. He is happy that Helios is not here and he is even happier that I am late. My eyes narrow at him but I do not answer him. Instead, I walk up to Alpha Erik who is seated next to Nox and bow low with respect. “Alpha Erik, please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to greet you when you arrived. But I am confidant that the welcoming entourage has welcomed you with great spirits.” Alpha Erik smiles warmly at me and gives me a fatherly pat on the shoulder. I look up into

LAUREL’s POV “You are carrying a child.” The doctor’s words echo in my mind and I become very still. It is strange, I feel as if I am watching a drama unfold before my very eyes. Pregnant? Me? It cannot be. I have only been with Helios for – “You are about two weeks along,” the doctor continues. “Laurel Moon?” My head snaps up from staring at my belly and I nod mechanically. Doctor Ramoth sucks in a sharp breath and looks from me to Caleb before shaking his head. He must think that Caleb is the father. I find that funny and suddenly let out a chuckle, surprising both men but the doctor does not share my humor. He looks to Caleb once more and says, “Would you mind excusing us for a bit? Caleb’s brows furrow but he does as the doctor asks and steps out of the examination room. And once we are alone, the doctor leans in and whispers to me, his tone deadly serious, “Laurel Moon, are you witho

LAUREL’s POV “No,” I say, I am not amused. “You are not allowed to enter.” Caleb puts on a pout. “Why not? As your knight in shining armour, it is my utmost duty to make sure that my lady is well and taken care of, especially when she is unwell.” I feel my temper flare and my chest rise and fall with my growing temper, I poke him squarely in the chest, “For one, you are NOT my knight in shining armour. And two, I am NOT your lady. I am grateful for your help, truly, I am, but this is where we draw the line. This place, “ I thump my feet on the wooden floorboards, “is my home, my territory, my personal space and no one else is allowed to enter.” “No one but Alpha Helios?” Caleb's question catches me off guard and for once, I have no smart-ass reply to give him. He has struck a chord. And it is a deep one at that. “It's his baby you're carrying, isn't it?” he asks again and when I do not answer, Cale

LAUREL’s POVDeath.It is inevitable. For all who are born are destined to die. It is a fact that everyone knows, including myself.But why do I find it hard to believe that death has claimed Helios.No, it cannot be.I shake my head. It is my turn to grab Rhode by the collar and I hiss in his face, “You lie.”Helios has never once lost a battle, he has never once yielded in combat. No one should have been able to slay Helios, he is the undefeatable Alpha of the Southlands. How can he be dead?It is a joke…it is a cruel joke. It has to be.Rhode’s lips quiver, he is in disbelief himself. “I am sorry, but it is the truth. I am so sorry…the guards found his body by the borders while on patrol. They are bringing his body back as we speak.” He breaks down into an uncontrollable sob and that is when the truth sinks in.

LAUREL’s POVI walk towards the Blue House, slowing my pace as I approach the entrance. The place looks barren and empty, guarded by only one man. There had been so many before, and all but one have gone into mourning, lighting candles outside the morgue.The lone guard lifts his eyes to meet my face and bows slightly and I can tell that he is grieving, but most of all, he is scared.What will happen to the pack now that our Alpha is gone?I want to cry more than anything but I have to keep it together for him and for everyone in the pack. In a way, Nox is right, we are only as strong as the weakest link. There will be no weak link, not here, not in Morningstar. We will prevail, we must.I nod back and enter the Blue House. Inside, it is quiet as it is cold. I draw in a deep breath and slowly exhale as I walk towards the basement door.There is someone I need to see before th

LAUREL’s POVWe sit on the steps of my porch, both Caleb and I. I have a blanket wrapped around me while he has taken off his shirt. It shirt hangs by a stick next to the bonfire we made next to my porch. The rain has finally stopped and in its place is a clear night with stars shining bright above our heads without twinkling.“Feel better?” Caleb is the first to break the silence.I nod, folding the blanket over myself.“Do you think you can win in the duel against Nox tomorrow?”I suck in a breath and look at the sky. “I don’t know.”It is an honest answer.I feel Caleb’s fingers graze against mine, his warm, mine cold and I look down to see him taking my hand and rubbing them with his.“You’re cold,” he says simply and I am suddenly reminded of how Helios once warmed my hands. My body instinctively acts and I quickly snatch

LAUREL’s POVI stand at the Morningstar Square as the blazing sun rises above the horizon. Today, there is no morning breeze, instead, I feel the heat radiate in rippling waves as they rise above the ground over my boots. Here is where the duel with Nox will be.A throng of spectators have gathered, they sit on rows upon rows of bleachers that curve upwards and though I wish it did not have to come to this, I have to admit that Rhode did a spectacular job in creating this makeshift arena. There is even a large scoreboard that has been erected behind the bleachers. I wonder if anyone placed bets on this duel.“Laurel! You can do this!” someone screams from the crowd.I squint my eyes, shielding them with my hand as my head turns towards the direction of the voice. And from the stands, I see the twins. They jump up and down, shaking their fists in the air.“We’re rooting for you!” the
Reclaiming my Fated Alpha FIFTY SEVEN
LAUREL’s POV I should be dead, but I am not. The sun, now high up in the sky shines down on me and its rays fuel the transformation in my body. It is something Deigo did not tell me about. I guess he himself did not know that. I draw in a breath and my heart gives a single powerful beat. As it does so, death releases its hold on me and slithers away. With the beatings of my heart comes a newfound strength that I have never felt before. If I could jump thirty feet in the air before in my wolf form, I can leap fifty in my human form now. If I could hear whispered conversations in the next room, now I can hear hushed talks a mile away. My sense of smell is a wonder; the musky ordor that prevails in the air hits my nostrils and I can smell my own blood mixed with Nox’s sweat. Hmm...Nox doesn’t smell very nice. Slowly, I open my eyes and turn to look at the man who is trying to murder me. He gasps, feeling the power in my gaze and with a flick of my finger, I push his hands away. The
