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

~Xyana~ "Are you alright, Xyana?" Gaston repeats his question; his voice laced with worry and strangeness. "Mhmm," I nod, wishing he would just go away so that I can peacefully continue to my room. "You don't look okay." He insists, taking a step towards me. "Gaston, I'm... I'm... fi...ne." I tell him, my voice a bit unsteady and my words, not so coherent. Gaston is now close to me and he's staring at me, his gaze darkening as if he's mad at me or someone. When he stares a little longer and our gaze finally meets, his expression morphs, losing its worried traits. "Xyana," he calls again, my name rolling off his tongue like it's a euphoric drug. "Did he hurt you?" He didn't have to mention a name; we both knew who he was talking about. "No," I manage to let out. "Did you guys fight?" "Not really," I reply, clearing my throat so as to sound less husky. Then I bite my bottom lip as his closeness and his scent wash all over me. 'Let's ask him to claim and mark us. You want him

~Gaston~ I spent the entire night asking myself if I am insane. What have I done? It's a fact that I'm lusting after my brothers' mate but what I did last night is pure madness from my end. I had watched her leave the pack yesterday in the company of Claret and I was still up when she got back. I couldn't go to sleep, not without being sure of her safety. I had to text Claret at some point, and she confirmed they were fine and were heading back home. I shouldn't have been as bothered as I was yesterday. Claret can take care of Xyana in all aspects. She's a strong she-wolf who I trust so much that I put Xyana in her care. It isn't just about the sports center. The Ardbrys have proven themselves over and over again to my family. Her brother Gideon is my step-in Beta on days Clifton isn't around to help. And he personally trained Claret in combat. Yet I stayed up all day until Xyana came home. When I caught sight of her through my office window in that pretty little dress, Drea almo

•~BLACK-HAW PACK~• ~Alpha Kedar~ I can hear the sheer exhaustion in Gamma Reeder's voice as he narrates that a few more members of my pack are nowhere to be found. "Fuck!" I exhale noisily. Leaning backward, I stare at the smooth, polished wood of my office desk with bleary eyes. I clench the phone a little tighter as grave fear envelopes me. Members of my pack are not disappearing into thin air, they are leaving the pack. I still don't understand why anybody would wake up and decide to leave their pack. Why would anyone choose to be a rogue werewolf instead of staying back in their pack and having a name and an Alpha to protect them? "Who are the ones that left?" "Livington and his entire family. Their house is completely empty," comes the flat response. "Fucking hell! Why would Maddox Livington, of all people, elope with his entire family!" I snap. Reeder sighs, "his youngest daughter had a fierce argument with Oksana's sister and she threatened to report the matter to O

~Alpha Kedar~ "You did what?" My Grandmother is screaming. "What did you do, Kedar!" She turns to my Mom, who is already standing and fidgeting. "Do you know about this, Ceci?" Mom shakes her head. Of course, she doesn't know. I didn't tell her. "I thought... I thought it would be best for our pack to be under Zegulf's protection, Grandpa. His pack is the most feared and being under his protection means my pack is untouchable." I try to explain. Grandpa Salazar is shaking his head regrettably and his wife is tapping him behind. "I am disappointed in you, Kedar." He says, and I'm just so confused by his outburst. What exactly did I do wrong? War is looming and I have to protect my pack. I did what any sensible Alpha would do. "I did what any sensible Alpha will do, Grandpa. I protected my pack." "Shut up!" Grandma Evelyn yells at me. "Didn't you learn anything from your late father?

~Dion~ The dining room seemed too quiet as my brothers and I waited to hear what was so important that Gaston sent Oona away to go eat in her room. He hasn't had breakfast, lunch, or dinner with us in two days and suddenly he wants a family gathering while we have dinner Keeping my head low, I try to avoid his gaze while I dig into my food. Maybe this is about what I did earlier today. I snuck into Xyana's room and spent the entire evening cuddling her. For Goddess's sake, I've missed my mate terribly. Even though I told the guards at her door not to mention a word to Gaston, I know they did. Besides their loyalty lies with their Alpha first before their Gamma. It might be my guilty conscience, but I feel like Gaston knows. He isn't stupid too, and he must have asked himself why I would come to dinner freshly showered if I didn't train. "Diony, you look tense. Ease up a bit." Declan's voice reaches my ear. I flash him a smile, but I don't say a word. Gaston and Declan are very

~Xyana~ I'm raging, so mad at everyone as I head straight to Gaston's office. When I got down to Oona's room earlier, she was sulking and refused to see me. I didn't know what could be the problem until her Nanny explained to me that Gaston said he was busy and wouldn't be available to follow us to the fields for our planned picnic. I had Oona's Nanny inform her about the picnic over the week and I knew the poor girl had been waiting so much for today. I'm officially pissed. It isn't so bad that Gaston has been avoiding me since our encounter the other night. But the fact that he would break his daughter's heart just to keep avoiding me is what I find both ridiculous and unacceptable. Raging can't even describe the internal whirlwind that is creating total havoc in my mind right now as I push into Gaston's office without bothering to knock. That is such a rude thing to do, I know, but with my emotions scrambled all over the place; Clifton ignoring me, Declan avoiding me and Dion

~Gaston~ I feel terrible for the manner I spoke to Xyana. Yet every sensible part of me tells me that I did the right thing. It's okay to say no at times. Not because I don't want it, but because of the number of people that would get hurt if I proceeded to fight for my own happiness. Clifton is unstable and opening up to him about who and what Xyana is would not only hurt him, he might pull the whole pack house down with rage. Aside from that, I care about my brothers so much that I never want to hurt them. I did the right thing; I murmured the words within me over and over again. Still, I feel terrible. I feel like an important part of me has been ripped from within the walls of my heart. I was still feeling this way when my friend, Alpha Callum walked into my office later in the day. Once he banged the door behind him, he took a seat and flashed his usual warm smile. "Gass Gass," he calls. "You're just here enjoying and basking in the beauty of having three powerful loyal men

~Xyana~ Gaston confessed that he had feelings for me and because of that, he's desperate for my union with his brothers to move to the next level as fast as possible. When I left his office after his confession, I spent most of the day with Oona in the garden, and the rest of the day was spent in my room thinking of my encounter with Gaston. Do I feel anything for him? Hell, I don't even know. I still feel guilty for what we did. And maybe one day the overwhelming guilt would push me into telling Dion. Because out of all my mates, I feel a deeper connection with him. Days have passed since my discussion with Gaston, and since my mates aren't allowed close to me yet, I put my whole soul into work at the construction site. I even went as far as visiting the greenery and growing a couple of hybrid plants myself. Today is one of those days I immerse myself into so much work that Mona had to pull me out and drag me home. My body was messy with wet soil and manure. And trust Adina to

Then he directs his attention to Zegulf. "Alpha Zegulf," he calls. "I'll need you to excuse my brothers and me."Zegulf tsks, "You're not trying to get rid of me, are you?"Gaston shakes his head. "I will never do that." Suddenly, Gaston pauses and arches his brow. "Did you get the witch?" He asks.Zegulf clenches his teeth tight and shakes his head. "Do you still have yours?"

~Clifton~"Who are you?" Declan asks the man who just walked in."Azzarus Fennom. Your late mother's only brother." He replies.Even though we are shocked to the bones because we had no idea Mama had any living family members, we can't help but agree that the man was possibly related to our late mother.He is a replica of our mother, so much so that he speaks like her even. It's like seeing our mother as a man."What are you doing here? You never showed up for your sister. Not while she was alive, not when she died, never. So why are you here now?" I ask the man."Clifton," Gaston calls me, but I shake my head. "He has a mouth, let him answer for himself, Alpha.""But we don't have time!" Gaston snaps. "Xyana doesn't have the time."Gaston's statement was enough to get me to finally ignore the man who calls himself my uncle."So, what can you do, u.n.c.l.e?" Declan sneers empathetically.The man doesn't look hurt or fazed at our words. Instead, he walks straight to Xyana and grabs he

~Clifton~ "So, you're trying to tell us." I curve my index around, demonstrating my brothers and I. "You are trying to tell us that our mate got marked by a fuckin hybrid of an Alpha. Now she's going to die. And you!" I point at Gaston. "You! My brother, the man I respect and call my Alpha. You knew Zegulf Landerman marked my mate and you covered up for him? Fuckin Goddess! I've lost all the respect I have for you today, Gaston Howling!" Every single word that came out of my mouth at this point was from the depths of my soul. I'm hurting like I've never done before. I'm heartbroken. I can't believe I'm losing Xyana. Not after everything we've been through. I haven't been the best mate to her. But I love her, and she knows. I just– I was so scared that if I came too close to her, my feral wolf would hurt her. I was scared he would mark her. I was scared that I would hurt and disappoint my brothers. Also, I was scared of losing her if she found out what I had in me and decided she

~Gaston~ The tightness in my chest is unbearable. Is this how it truly feels to lose someone you love–. What? No. I don't think love is the right word. Isn't love too strong a word to use? Yet It feels like my world is crashing. I should have run to Crimson Pack and met Zegulf to have this conversation immediately after I found out. I've been on this investigation for the longest time. Speaking to a few allies and that had kept me on the phone most times. I got a vision about the prophecy of a Moon-made sometime last year and the night I saw Xyana, I knew that was my vision and the prophecy coming to pass. However, the prophecy wasn't clear, and I had very limited information on how to handle any of this. When I found out that she was mated to my brothers, I realized I needed more information than I currently have. Sadly, the information I sought didn't come as fast as I'd expected it to. "She can't die." Zegulf's shaky voice draws me out of my thoughts. "You could have ma

~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.

~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.

~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
