THE ALPHA'S SECRET TWINS

NIGHT FANG PACKLUMAThe silence was deafening. The darkness was lonely.I shivered against the bars of my cell. I hadn't eaten in twenty-four hours. Lumina was weak. Almost fading. And I couldn't stop shaking.To make matters worse, something was biting me.I slapped my arm. Hoping it was just a mosquito.Then I smelled my palm.Lice.The crawling didn't stop. Tiny legs. Tiny bites. I scratched until my skin burned. Lumina whimpered. "Don't let them win," she whispered. But I was losing.I stood up fast. Shook out my clothes. Changed spots. But nothing helped. The crawling only got worse.I kept changing spots in the dark, hoping to escape the insects. Dust clung to my clothes every time I moved.After what felt like an eternity, the door opened. A small torch light cut through the dark."Look at the little rogue. Why are you hitting yourself so much?" Tristan's brother, Daniel. He never missed a chance to make my life hell."I brought your food." He stepped in and placed the plate i

NIGHT FANGS PACKLUMA'S POVReduced to less than an Omega—even though I was of Beta rank, I Luma had never felt so humiliated.Hours of harvesting. Shielders throwing jokes about how I was a "dick eater." Then the subtle, yet noticeable, pushes from Omegas who wanted to feel superior. Each shove was a reminder: You don't belong here. You're nothing.I kept my head down. Kept my hands moving. If I stopped, if I fought back, they'd have an excuse to hurt me more. And I couldn't risk that. Not with my pup inside me.When the sun was high in the sky and the siren for meals announced, everyone ate.Except me.They stared. Waiting for my reaction. Grinning. They wanted to see me cry. They wanted to see me beg.I didn't give them the satisfaction.My wolf was exhausted. My pup was growing inside me, stealing what little strength I had left. I turned and headed back for the fields.Between there, I let the tears roll down. Just a few. Just enough to release the pressure building behind my eye

NIGHT FANG PACKTRISTAN'S POVAnother day checking on damn alliances with vampires. I hated that the bloodsuckers were trying to play a double game with me. For the sake of our long time alliances, I hoped they'd be careful with whatever game they were playing. Because I wasn't going to be merciful if anything went wrong.The meetings were endless. The politics, suffocating. Every time I sat across from their pale faces, I had to fight the urge to reach across the table and remind them what happened to those who betrayed the Night Fang Pack.A sudden sting on my neck made me growl. My hand immediately found the mark. My mark.The ache was surprising. It wasn't the dull throb of distance,it was sharp. Accusing.Was my chosen mate sleeping with another wolf in her room? The ache was hurting both Thunder and me. It was so intense that I stood up before I knew it, my chair scraping against the floor.The vampire across from me raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong, Alpha?"I didn't answer.

RAVENCLAW PACK TRISTAN'S POV Destroying the Ravenclaw Pack was the last thing I expected. But the woman who was supposed to be my Luna had been silent for two months. Two damn months. No news. Nothing. Even with prizes offered for whoever found her. Was she just so good at hiding, or was somebody helping her? "Her sister, maybe?" Thunder wondered. Maybe. Or maybe not. After all, Ina never reappeared after running away with her chosen mate. Even threats didn't make her come back home. So I doubted she would come now to help Luma. My siblings helped in the search, yet all leads ended in dead ends. The most annoying part wasn't her silence. It was the fact that she had disappeared with confidential documents -the Witch Non-Aggression Pact. A treaty signed between my pack and the southern covens. The only thing keeping the witches from overrunning our borders. Without it, my pack was exposed. Vulnerable. If those witches decided to attack, I wouldn't be able to stop them. The Alp

NIGHTFANG PACKTRISTAN'S POVUp to twenty percent of the wolves in the Ravenclaw Clan had been thrown in the dungeon for simple punishments that could have been handled with labor. Five major skyscrapers of their clan were destroyed. Three major shielder basecamps of the Nightfang Pack now sat in Ravenclaw territory.Yet neither of the Alpha's daughters had made a move to see their father.He had been in seclusion for two months. I had made sure that every entry and exit was under surveillance. Every road, every border, every possible escape route. Yet no sign.It seemed the Alpha's daughters were so heartless that they didn't care if their father died or if the pack was reduced to ashes.How useless both of them were. He had wasted his time raising them. Their mother had endured seven months of pain to bring them into this world for nothing."Ina may be heartless," Thunder said. "She didn't think about her parents when she left. But that's not the case for Luma. Remember how proud he
