~Declan~

All my life I've longed for my mate. The one-woman created to be my everything. Love has never meant a thing to me until the day I set my eyes on Xyana.

I thought my heart would explode. Everything about her is perfect and I decided while she was still recovering that there is nothing I won't do to protect and keep her safe.

My joy was in excess because I'd found my mate. Not until Diony said she was his mate, and Clif said the same. I've never been mad at the Moon goddess like I was that day.

But after taking my time to think about it, I realized I was neither ready nor willing to give her up. My Wolf Lucas was smitten as I was and nothing in this world would have made him agree to rejecting our mate.

Even when he couldn't reach Xyana's Wolf, he didn't give up. We've been waiting for this all our lives, and at that point, I was willing to accept my brothers being with my mate as long as I got to be with her, too.

As long as she doesn't reject me, and she lets me do right by

    ~Xyana~The constant low beeping of the monitor is the first thing I hear when I open my eyes. I jerk up, finding a familiar figure holding his hand out to me. “Xyana," he offers a bright smile. "It's great to have you join us. You remember me, don't you?"I nod. I do remember him. He's the same Doctor who took care of me when I first arrived in the pack. I clear my throat, my voice sounding raspy when I speak. “What happened to me, where am I?”“You are in the hospital. Your mate brought you in because we thought it best to have you here in case you needed more intensive care." He explains with a smile. "Apparently, you had a wrist injury, and your Wolf wasn’t having such a good day either. So... we've done a few checks. If it's okay, I would call in the Alpha.”I nod, "please, do." He goes to open the door that is hidden by a wall curtain. Once Alpha Gaston steps in, I'm instantly overwhelmed by his scent. This is something I've never experienced before. My nerves instantly go c

    ~Xyana~He steps out of the room and returns with Dion and Declan. Dion was quick to sit beside me, squeezing my arms gently and bathing me with forehead kisses.Declan knelt beside me, letting out a deep sigh of relief. My gaze goes to the door as I wait to see Clifton. After a few seconds of waiting, he finally shows his face. He looks tired and dejected."She can now feel her bond," Gaston announced. "For all her mates." His last sentence brought a sort of relief to Declan and Dion but not to Clifton who remained standing at the door."Is this true, Xy-Sunshine?" Dion asks, and I nod. "But my wolf, I don't think she's there yet. I..." My voice broke off when I turned to Clifton. I told him a little about Juno and me, and it's only a matter of time until he'll want to know more."I'm glad you're fine. You should get some rest." Clifton says and turns to leave the room."Xyana will be moving to one of the rooms on my floor once she gets back home. She needs lots of rest and healthy

    ~Clifton~"You must be really mad at Gass to talk shitty to him," Callum says to me, with a disapproving head-shake.I sigh and shut my eyes briefly. Everybody seems to be against me. The Moon-Goddess, my mate, my brothers, and now the fucking witch, Rhen. She is supposed to be the reliable one among all of them.I've dreamt about my mate for the longest time. Her soft voice and her love always surrounded me. I may have become so obsessed with my thoughts of her that the first time I got a vision about who and what she looked like, I went over to Rhen immediately to have our souls bound together.If my brothers know this, maybe they will all come together to stab me to death. But in my defense, I had no idea the Moon Goddess was planning such a surprise for us. What happened to giving me my own mate and maybe pairing Dion and Declan together if she desperately wants to? Declan is the good-looking leader of the pack Warriors who is known for being calm and precise even in chaos. Dio

    ~Clifton~ Once Callum leaves for his pack, I relax into my seat and shut my eyes, trying to understand at what point any of this went wrong. The Moon Goddess... she made it all wrong. Yes, it's all her fault. I haven't done anything wrong if I chose to look at it from a mate's point of view. Xyana is my mate. A Blood-bite isn't a prohibited practice. Of course, I should have sought her consent before imposing it on her, but the truth remains that she's my mate! That alone cancels all wrongs, right? I hear the loud sound of a door going off somewhere within the pack house. The sound is followed by loud barking of orders. That must be Gaston. 'I wonder what found its way into his ass to get him pissed off this much.' I'm convinced he knows I'm around, my scent should have given me away by now. I don't get to wait for long when the door to the living room gets pulled out. Gaston steps into the room, scanning it carefully before walking up to me. As he's approaching, I fe

    ~Xyana~As I'm carried through the living room by Dion, I grab the opportunity to look into the other rooms that I've never paid attention to before now. “I think you're spoiling me too much Dion. I only had a minor wrist injury. I didn't lose a body part." I chuckle as he carries me to my new room, which has already been set up, and cuddles me into the blankets of my bed.“If I have my way, I won't let you lift a thing, Sunshine." He kisses me. "You need all the rest, Xy, plenty of it. Doctor's prescription and I'm only following his instructions." He says sweetly, as he rearranges my pillows.He plants a kiss on my forehead and I thank him with a smile and a kiss on his right cheek. He smiles, touching his cheeks.Declan had been summoned hurriedly by Alpha Gaston once we stepped into the pack and Dion told them he'll join them later. So, I know he has somewhere to be.“Can I get you something else?” He asks, and I shake my head. "I could get you water, some juice, chocolate bars,

    ~Alpha Kedar~--•BLACK-HAW PACK•--I've only managed to go through three pages of the latest financial report of the pack when I overhear a little commotion outside my office.A lot has happened over the past few days. The pack's food supply isn't as great as it used to be. The internet is shitty, and Adolf, the engineer, has no idea how to sort it out aside from opting for an upgrade which he said was last done by Xyana Hamilton with the funds she generates from growing and selling various hybrid plants at the clan market.'Xyana Hamilton, the fat-shapless girl?' Who would have guessed she could be more useful to the pack aside from scrubbing floors? Ignoring the noise outside my office, I stare at the sheets in front of me. Everything is falling apart. With the raging war, we shouldn't be battling with any sort of food insecurity. I push the palms of my hands against my eyes and try to stem the pounding in my head. "Shit," I mumble. I haven

    ~Alpha Kedar~Still, the little voice in my head keeps saying;  'Even if you didn't like her, you shouldn't have humiliated her the way you did.'The girl is nothing like my type of woman; she's not just shapeless and ugly, she's one of the pack's charity cases. Also, I'm not one to stay faithful and caged by one woman.If anything, I did her a favor. She won't get to spend the rest of her life with a mate that detests her very existence. Still, if there's some truth in what Grandpa Salzar is saying about my pack members, then I'm in a lot of shit. My late father once shared the idea of building a shelter for orphaned she-wolves, telling me how much respect and trust an Alpha will gain from his pack if he does something that honorable.So I built a shelter when he passed and it worked. Just as he predicted, I gained the trust, respect, and loyalty of the entire pack. Even the pack members who weren't in support of me becoming the Alpha finally accepted me.

    ~Xyana~When I wake up the next morning, I feel well-rested. I found myself tucked in under a thick velvet blanket, and the window blinds closed even though I could see from the sides that it was morning already.Yawning lazily, I tap my fingers on my blanket and wonder if the fact that I feel well-rested has anything to do with the tea Adina gave me last night.What time is it anyway? I really need to sit up henceforth. If I'm going to lead my mates on, until I get an escape opportunity, then I need them to think that I've accepted them as much as they've accepted me and I'm willing to work very hard to be deserving of my position as the Beta, Gamma and Warrior female of the pack.I smile to myself as I think back to Gaston's words to me back at the hospital; 'nothing is more important than you.' And now, I'm even more determined to prove my worth to his pack so that I can feel truly deserving of his words. Even if it'll only be temporary.I want his pack members to see that I’m tryi

    This chapter and the coming chapters will move the story forward to Xyana's experience, and they will shed more light on her relationship with Clifton.Please read through the next chapters with open mind.I promise it will all come together at the end. Once again, thank you for supporting this book. Your support makes me happy and keeps me going. Don't forget to drop a review when you can. xxx❣️~~~Clifton~"I don't understand any of this. Alpha," I call my brother. "We need to talk in private," I added, casting a side glance at the intruder in the room; Zegulf Landerman.Gaston nods and clears his throat. 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. "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? Can the both of you be inclusive at least

    ~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
