~Xyana~ For some reason unknown to me, I start by giving him a background rundown of my family and he listens attentively. When I'm done, he flashes a smile and turns the tip of his face cap behind. Then he says; "I know a lot about your family before now." I arched my brow questionably and he shrugged. "We just wanted to know if there's a family member we need to seek consent from before our marking ceremony." "There's none." I rush in. "I know that now." I then proceed to tell him the story about Juno. I repeat the things I told Declan. By the time I got to the end of the story and told him about my inability to shift for years until Alpha Kedar and also a clearer story about my rejection, I was actually struggling to keep my voice from breaking. I notice that he has taken a few steps back, away from me. He's staring at me like I'm an alien. Yet I don't let that distract me, I keep talking. He wedges his body on a nearby stool, squeezing the stool so hard that I feared he wou

~Xyana~"D, please." I plead in a whisper and watch Dion cave in."It's Amon, Clif 's wolf." He replies. "We are all worried about him. You see, Amon is special. He's powerful, a protector, a lover of family, and now you are his family. The truth is we're worried about the fact that you have three of us as your Mates. Amon is possessive. So, he might not be able to handle the multiple-mate situation very well. We saw it the other day in Declan's room. Worst still, Clifton's character doesn't help the situation at all." He takes a deep breath before he goes on. "We think Clif has to speak to you first and explain to you how special Amon is, and maybe if you accept him and he does the same, the rest of us can join in. So we're just waiting for Clif to get it going for all of us."I swallow hard as everything he says doesn't really make sense to me. "What do you mean when you said Clifton's Wolf is 'special'?" I ask, feeling more and more worried. "What is going on, Dion?".He shakes hi

~Xyana~ I did have the feeling that something was off about Clifton early enough. Especially from the day he overheard Juno in my head. It had been obvious but I just didn't want to think about it. Maybe that was stupid of me. After my heart-to-heart moment with Dion, my understanding of what I might be up against in respect to Clifton's Wolf became a bit clearer. Dion spent more time soothing me and reassuring me that he was never going to leave me. Maybe Juno said the truth, I'm just a bloody attention-seeker. I've been starved of attention that I'm willing to clutch to these men so hard. Goddess! If they reject me, I'll be alone with absolutely no one in my corner. When Dion got a mind-link from someone, I didn't need to be told that it was time to go back out there and face my reality. He held me in a hug for a very long time and kissed me over and over again before he finally let me go. My heart is so heavy when

~Xyana~ Mona comes to pick me up just as she promised. Today is my day off and I'm practically in the mood for all the mischief she has planned out for us. We head over to the garage that houses Dion's car and we take one of his cars, with Mona behind the wheels since I can't drive. I didn't go down for breakfast in the morning because I wasn't sure I had to strength to face Clifton or any of the Howling brothers at that. Oona would have made the atmosphere less awkward. But since she started her term paper, she left for school much earlier. So she eats before any of us. And with her schedule after school well planned by her nanny, I wasn't sure it was a good thing to disrupt any of that. At least until her papers are over. Since I have my own worries to take care of anyway. While Mona is driving us to the town center, I spot Declan walking down to the pack house, his body glistering under the scorching sun. "I need to

~Xyana~ Our car stops at a nice restaurant a moment later. "Wow!" I let out a breath when I see the beautiful building the restaurant is housed in. Gurreo-Valley is such a beautiful place and maybe the Alpha has a rule in place that prevents store owners from erecting shabby shop buildings because that might be the only reason I haven't seen the type of shops we have back at Black-haw pack. "Aren't there smaller-looking shops here in Gurreo-Valley?" I ask Mona. "Of course there are." She points to very beautiful shops in front. But that's not what I mean by small. "I mean, shops opened in old-looking buildings?" She shakes her head. "The Alpha makes sure the buildings are up to the architectural plan of the pack and he renovates them every five years. Might be lesser at times. Even smaller roadside stalls are regulated to pass certain set rules." "I've noticed," I reply, nodding my understanding.

~Xyana~ When we were done shopping, the trunk of our car wasn't enough to contain the shopping bags, so we had to move the ones I got for Mona to the back seat of the car. Once we get down from the car and the guards around the garage see the contents of the trunk, a couple of them get into action by helping out with moving them upstairs to my room. Mona is in a hurry to get back home after receiving a phone call from her brother. So I told one of the guards to take her home, and he did! 'Trying out my power as the Beta female.’ Oh wow! It is so late. We were even the last people to leave the 'Cleave Boutique' in the town center. I had no doubt they stayed open way past their closing time. But they had lots of fine stuff that it was so hard to actually choose. I made Mona get lots of nice stuff for herself, and she was super excited and appreciative. We bought a couple of outfits that we plan on twinning together wh

~Xyana~ Overwhelmed by Clifton's sudden closeness, I jump out of my seat and take a step back. Still, he takes a step closer to me. Looking back up at him defiantly, I take another step back. I almost break into a panic, but he smiles and shakes his head. "You don't have to be scared, Baby. I won't hurt you physically." "But your wolf will." I voice out before I can stop myself. "He would never hurt you." He says tenderly, closing the gap between us. He wants you more than anything. I'm afraid he wants you too much that if I stay around as much as I want to, he might damn the consequences and mark you, even though he shouldn't just yet." He finally eases away from me and goes back to take his seat with a sigh. In his absence, I regain my equilibrium and slowly walk back to my seat. "Tell me what you want, Baby." He says, focusing his gaze on me. "Why is everyone worried about your Wolf, Clifton?" That is at least the top question on my mind. He's silent for a while. Then a switc

~Xyana~ Tranquility is not enough word to describe what I'm feeling streaming through me as Clifton moves his hands up to hold my face while he returns my kiss. I moan against his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck, and he moves his hands to the back of my head and down my body. He lifts me up and slams me against the wall of his room, beating out the little air I had still left in my lungs, his hands resting on my ass. His muscular abs presses against my body, making it impossible for me to think straight. I let him devour me, enjoying every second of it. He breaks the kiss to move his lips along my jawline and further down to my neck. I claw down onto his shoulders, throwing my head back against the wall, my heart beating so fast, risking suffocation. Suddenly, a warm sensation of surrender streams through me and I knew instantly that it's all coming from Clifton. I can feel his emotions and he's already surrende

~Zegulf~Gaston takes a few steps closer to me but stops halfway. "They planned to locate the two most powerful werewolf packs, eliminate their Alphas, and turn their successors against each other.""And why would they do that?""Because..." He pauses and looks around before speaking again. "I'm yet to get the full details. But I'm working on it, I promise you.""Don't promise me shit, I don't need your promises.""Zegulf-""You want me to believe that it took you several years to find this story of yours out?" I cut him short. "You are a Warlock, Howling."He feigns ignorance like he doesn't know what I'm talking about. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I know what you are, and I'm certain you know what I am. It's just disappointing that it took you years to figure something as simple as this out. Looking at it, I believe it's your area of expertise. You–"He cuts me off with an acidic smile. "Oh, forgive me that I'm not as hot-blooded as you are. Forgive me that I take my time to fi

~Zegulf~When I finally step into my Pack's waiting hall. Gaston Howling and his brother were seated, waiting for me. Once they see me approaching, Gaston flashes that notorious sneaky smile of his. "Zegulf Landerman." He calls, extending his hand for a handshake.I'll be damned if I take his hand. I ignore him and ask instead; "what brings you to my pack, Howling?"He shrugs, "you know what. But that's okay. If you don't mind, I'd like us to discuss the matter that brought me here privately."My men have circled the room and my Pack's security toughened up. If he is planning on creating a sort of distraction, in order to sneak his warriors in, it definitely won't work.I wouldn't have let him into my pack if courtesy doesn't demand it, sadly. "Follow me," I say to him, moving ahead with five of my men following us behind.If Gaston Howling wants to attack me, my men wouldn't hold a candle to him because he would easily rip them apart piece by fucki

~Gaston~Clifton will ruin everything if we don't get to him before he acts. I had Killian confirm that Clifton's Aston Martin wasn't packed in his car garage. That explains why he left with the car. And knowing Clifton well enough, his only focus would be to rescue Xyana. So he wouldn't want to mess his opportunity up.That simply means he will wait till nightfall before making a move. That gives me less than six hours to stop him from being the reason this silent war between Zegulf and me will erupt into a physically unstoppable one.Rhenat is seated from across the room with Dion and Declan standing at the entrance. They are staring at me expectantly, wanting to know what I'll do.I tip my head towards the door. "I'll leave you alone for now," I tell Rhenat. "I need to speak to my brothers and find a way to stop Clifton from ruining everything."Rhenat nods. "Yes, Alpha. I will put a call through to you when it's done.""When what is done?

~Zegulf~The marking is complete. At least, I think it is. But it doesn't look like she's breathing well. Her breaths are coming slowly, and I'm terrified that she might be dying on me. It's not supposed to be this way. The marking between Werewolves is supposed to be a beautiful euphoric experience. But I'm not certain it would be the same with a Moon-made. I stare at the Cabal and they stare back at me, confusion on their faces. 'Yes, I'm confused as well.' I whine internally.When I spoke to Kadila earlier about marking Xyana tonight, she told me to go ahead and mark her that her presence wouldn't be needed. Now I think I need her because I'm clueless as to what to do since Xyana is barely breathing. Panic is threatening to take hold of me as I mind-link my Beta, Xavier to bring Kadila over.I can feel all the little hairs on my body stand up as if I’m inside some giant electromagnetic field. Pressing my ear to Xyana's fairly warm chest, I listen to the barely audible heartbeat

~Zegulf~I let Xyana spend the rest of her day in my room sulking.She had thought I would finally agree to let her go, but If only she knew that she was asking for the impossible. Letting her go isn't a sentence I want to be associated with. Not when the Moon Goddess gave her to me on a platter. I have a woman any Alpha would die to mark. A woman who can easily bring even the most powerful Alpha to his knees. It's sad that she has no idea who or what she is and how much power she holds.Towards the evening, the Alpha's Cabal, Roldolf, Ezra, and Thaddeus, arrived at my private chamber. I had the guards set up the room with a round table that would bring all of us together because I asked them to bring Xyana over as I wanted to introduce her to them.Xyana stops at the door, confusion shrouding her face as she stares from me to the three other men in the room."Come on in, Firefly," I call her fondly, waving at her.Slowly, she pushes her b

~Zegulf~The next morning, I have the maids bring Xyana downstairs to the dining room to join me for breakfast. She looks well rested, and even far better than yesterday. The wound on her arm looks better, too, and I have no doubt it will take just a few more days or a week to heal perfectly.She is wearing a very pretty dress I believe to be part of the ones delivered yesterday by the personal shopper.When she sees me across the dining room, she smiles and greets me. Then I quickly pull out a seat for her. I can feel her cheerfulness surge through me."You seem well rested.""Yes, I am. My wounds are healing pretty well too. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness.""Oh, it's nothing really," I reply.Then I snap my fingers. The maids quickly started serving us breakfasts of boiled eggs, coffee, and wheat bread. Since Xyana came into my life, I made it known to the butler that our meals should always be healthy.Watching her ea

••PRESENT DAY••~Gaston~I'm seated in my private chamber with Rhen seated across the table from me. "Is it done yet?" I ask her checking my wristwatch for the time.She told me that Kadila was trying to unbound Clifton's and Xyana's souls as she could feel the gradual neutralization of the magic she used.So we agreed that it was best to let the soul-unbounding ritual go on, and at the peak of it, I will be able to connect to Xyana, just to see if I can pass a message to her in her dreams."Not yet," Rhenat replies. "But any moment now."I scowl as the image of a happy Zegulf appears in my head. He must be super elated and proud of himself. Does he even think that I won't know what he's trying to do and what he's really up to? Only a fool would assume that I'm clueless and Zegulf is no fool.So I have no doubt he's suspicious of my silence. Why wouldn't he be? If I were him, I would be suspicious too."Xyana is going to survive this, r

••A WEEK AGO••~Gaston~There are lots of things I need answers to. And I've tried getting these answers from elsewhere. But there are still lots of empty spaces that need to be filled.The answers aren't as explanatory as I wanted, I need more. I needed to hear them as they were. If there was a prophecy about this new Moon-made, Xyana, I needed to hear it word for word, not as hearsay, but as the absolute truth.The only person with the answer to my question is Rhenat the Witch. And even though I've tried to avoid going to her for help by exploring every other option available to me, I still have to say that she holds the complete information I'm after.So I had no other option than to get Callum to set up a private meeting with Rhenat without anyone's knowledge. I left the pack after midnight with Killian, my most trusted man, with me, we shifted to our wolves and ran all the way to Callum's pack. He was already waiting for us with a clean change

~Zegulf~Xyana and I had a beautiful day touring my pack. She did feel on edge for a while, but eventually, I was able to get her to relax and enjoy the tour.We had lunch under a cabana at the private pool behind the pack house. The view was beautiful and I had no doubt she loved it but would rather not say.After lunch, we visited a few more places within the pack before retiring for the evening. I took her back to my room and left her with a few of the maids who had already been briefed on serving her a spiked drink to put her to sleep in preparation for Kadila's visit.**Barely two hours later, I brought Kadila into my room after making sure she was properly covered.Kadila was dressed in one of those colorful outfits of hers that tells me she is in such a great mood. As usual, she attended to Xyana's wounds before taking a seat on a side stool at the center of the room."Will you mark her tonight, Alpha?" Kadila asks, rubbing a dark-c
