MasukOne more regular chapter and two epilogues to go. What did you think of Masuzyo's death and Ayda agreement to let the pack have him?
“I couldn’t agree more," I say.Dimitri reminds our pups to be respectful and to listen to Valentina and then we head back to our house.My mate takes my hand as we walk through the quiet streets of our pack. I begin to purr with happiness, all the happiness that I feel from my mate and from my life
AydaI watch as my son and his friend identify each other as mates in front of the pack, then watch my son claim his mate, the only woman he’s ever loved, with a passionate kiss.“How did you know?” I ask my mate. He called it years ago. At first, I thought he was teasing me but he just kept telling
“What I know is that my son will be the most handsome man in the room tonight…well, besides his father,” my mother says, turning to smile at him, making Zev purr in response.“Good thing I look just like dad,” I say rolling my eyes. I was not unhappy for my parents to move out of the packhouse. I’d
Eight Years LaterCathal“Do I really have to call you Alpha now?” my sister Dimitra asks me, walking into the family living room in our parents’ new house. When I took over as Alpha a few weeks ago, my father moved the rest of the family off of the Alpha floor. Our pack has grown ever since my moth

“He won’t get either of you. I won’t allow him to hurt my family,” I say as I turn and begin walking back to the hospital.“Why does he want to kill Cathal?” she asks me.“Besides the fact that he’s crazy?” I ask, looking at her. She’s still frowning, so I elaborate. “He hated me before, but after h
DimitriThe difference between Ayda when she’s interacting with my son and interacting with me is glaringly apparent. With Cathal, she’s relaxed and easy-going, smiling easily at him. With me, it’s as if she’s always waiting for me to do something to hurt her. I hate her first mate, and I’m glad he’
I turn and look at the plates of food he brought up. They’re overflowing with food.“Who’s going to eat all this?” I ask, frowning. I don’t think I ate this much food in a month when I was on my own.“Dad. He says Alpha’s have a fast metabolism, faster than most wolves, and with the war going on, Da
AydaI expected Dimitri to be angry with me, expected him to tell me to stop crying and answer the questions, but he didn’t.
