Selena’s POV
Joey picked up Alisa’s bag and, with a gentle hand, guided her inside the house. I let out a sigh, happy that that was over with. However, I also made a mental note to have some guidelines in place for situations like these. If the pack consisted mostly of weak wolves, humans, and omegas, there was a chance that they wouldn’t have the traditional reactions to meeting their mates as normal wolves…
Sigh!
Suddenly, Rain’s hand landed on my lower back, massaging it and easing some of the tension. Hell, I nearly groaned out loud from the relief. Being small and pregnant wasn’t as fun as the books made it out to be...
With a gasp, I was suddenly pulled inside, just as two more huge SUVs showed up, and huge, domineering wolves piled out. Some of them, I recognized as Rain’s most trusted men…
I cursed under my breath, quickly looking for the talisman that Stella had gi
Rain’s POVI uselessly tried to stifle an annoyed groan as I watched the alphas next to me nervously shift from foot to foot. Sure, the army in front of us was a frightening sight. There were hundreds of them, maybe more. They moved in tight, coordinated ranks—some in wolf form, some in their human form. Hell, if I wasn’t mistaken, there were even some rogues among their ranks. And all of them were armed to the teeth and hungry for chaos.So I could understand the alphas fear...But what they and my enemies didn’t know was that this war was doomed from the very beginning!“Is everything in place?” I asked Elijah, knowing that my beta had been working hard – between sporadically fucking his mate’s brain out.“Everything is as you ordered, My King,” he replied, going for a formal tone in the presence of all our allies. I appreciated it, since structure and the hierarchy were

Selena's POV“Calm down,” I called out, not really sure where my newfound confidence came from. And which shocked most of the wolves there, I was actually addressing the woman. Stunned, she gaped at me, wide eyes as if asking if I’d lost my freaking marbles.But I gave her a small nod, and despite her clear doubt, she stopped trying to get away. And sure enough, when the wolf realized that his mate wasn’t about to run away, Joey regained control over the animal.He took a deep breath and then walked up to her, his aura completely different.“I apologize for that,” he said, his voice smooth like silk. “What’s your name?”“He’s my son,” the girl snapped, trying to calm down her crying baby while also having a conversation. “I’m not giving him up!”Joey looked at her, nodding respectfully and then reached for the baby with one hand, caress
Selena’s POVI woke up, feeling more rested than I expected after the night I’d had. But that may have something to do with the fact that my body was bubbling with happiness.Lifting up my hand, I once more couldn’t help grinning with pure euphoria at seeing the ring on my finger. It was perfectly simple, yet so beautiful and stunning, I couldn’t have imagined a better ring.And then there was the fact that I was now engaged to Rain!I giggled out loud--- and then looked around to see if I could find the arrogant fucker. But the bed was empty, and his place next to me was cold. His clothes were gone, and my heart sank when I remembered the other thing he’d told me last night.Hurrying as much as I could, I found an oversized hoodie--- and a note on the table.I’ll come back to you, my beautiful Azura...And that was it!Huffing, I got up and stormed
Rain's POVI hated the way her voice slightly trembled with fear. But there was also an arrogant, smug part of me that realized, if she was this scared for my life, it meant she felt some kind of way about me.I could always hope...“Yes,” I replied, watching as the color drained from her face. I didn’t know what to do with this, but I’d read enough romance novels to have a slight idea…“It’ll be alright,” I reassured her, reaching out and, despite her struggles, I pulled her into my arms and held her close. “I promise! I won’t be killed that easily.”“Oh! And you’ll tell your enemies that too?” She snapped--- making me chuckle. Sure, I couldn’t predict what my enemies would do. Especially now that Katie was back in their hands – something my mate didn’t know and with her reaction, I made the executive de
Rain’s POVI was playing with my mate’s hair, loving the silky texture between my fingers and the way the light caught in the white locks. There was something relaxing about playing with it. The way it felt as it slit across my fingers tickled my skin just right. And I loved the scent of her shampoo that seemed to fill the air with every flick across my hand.My sweet mate...I remembered the day she was talking about. I had been in that cage with her, seeing all the same things she did. Struggling to get out of the silver binds that kept me immobile. I noticed that, all of a sudden, the traitor was gone, but I didn’t give it much thought. It hadn’t even crossed my mind that the woman and girl in the ring were his family, and the reason he was gone was due to passing out from the pain of killing his own mate…Eventually, I got my hands free!I attacked the wolves there, ripping them
