登入James thought how that was a possibility. With Drake attending the party, his father could ambush Drake or attack the Dark Howlers pack, or both. Without Alpha Drake, his pack was vulnerable.In the end, it won't matter if people knew who was behind the attack on Drake, no one would dare to say a word if they succeed in eliminating him.Drake was just one man, but he was the Alpha of the largest pack in North America. With Drake gone from the picture, it will be carnage to fight for what Drake currently controls."I will keep my eyes open," George said from the side. "The party preparations need manpower. I will send a few Omegas loyal to me.""Will you attend the party if it's confirmed that Alpha Edward is planning something?" Cornelia asked as her eyes darted from Drake to Talia."Of course!" Talia exclaimed. "How can we miss James' birthday? Drake will attend with his Luna Talia, who is also Alpha Natalia Moonrider of the Midnight Guardians pack. It will be our debut as a mated co
After dinner, Trisha stopped by the packhouse with the intention of meeting Dawn.Caleb was waiting for Trisha in the car. Trisha was new in the area, and they were newly mated, so Caleb didn't want to leave Trisha on her own, but he also didn't want to intrude on her girl time. Trisha had a bubbling personality, and she had a lot of friends in the Spring Leaf pack. Caleb couldn't deny her this opportunity to make friends, even if it meant sitting in the car and playing games on the phone to pass the time until Trisha returned.Zina, Dawn, and Trisha were gathered around a small mountain of food on the kitchen island and chattering away.Talia, Drake, James, Cornelia, George, Maya, and Caden were in the study.Drake gave them quick updates on the situation before playing the audio recording he took while talking on the phone with Cassie.'Beep-beep... beep-beep'"I knew you would call," Cassie said smugly the moment she picked up the call."Get to the point, Cassie," Drake sounded imp
In his search for comfort, Drake hugged Talia and buried his face into her hair, taking deep breaths to fill his system with her sweet citrusy scent of freesia.Talia hugged him in return and let him have that moment of peace, happy to know that she had that effect on him.Talia realized that when Drake shared his concerns, Drake was talking in the first person, like he was alone, and it made her heart ache. Didn't he know how many people would gather around him?Talia was ready to stand by his side no matter what enemy they were facing, and she was confident that at least a few others would do the same.Drake was used to carrying his own burdens, and he couldn't see that he was not alone anymore. Talia understood him completely because she was the same. For such a long time, Talia was surviving on her own, and even though she enjoyed Drake's care and affection, it took her a long time to accept it as real.Talia was determined to remind Drake as many times as necessary that he was su
~ the Dark Howlers pack ~It's been two days since Drake and Talia returned from the Spring Leaf pack.Trisha and Arya also came with Caleb and Keith.On the day they returned, Doctor Travis examined Arya and confirmed that she had healed well. Other than a few fading bruises, she was as good as new.Gideon was ready with a ceremony for Trisha and Arya to join the Dark Howlers pack, and they prepared a small feast to celebrate afterward.Talia told Keith and Caleb that she won't be leaving the pack in the next few days, so they could take time off guilt-free and enjoy getting to know their mates.Keith couldn't wait to end the formalities and head to the secluded house prepared for them. The house was comparable to what Gideon and Mindy used, with three bedrooms upstairs, and a living area downstairs, and it included a patch of land around it for privacy. Keith hoped they could stay there long-term.Arya expected to meet Keith's family when they came to the Dark Howlers pack, but Keit
Keith chuckled at Arya's flustered expression.Their bond was still forming, but it was strong enough for him to feel the difference between what he felt for Talia and what Arya stirred within him.He didn't like that Arya would think about any man other than him, but he couldn't blame her because a small part of his heart was reserved for Talia, and it will always be that way.Keith put his palm on Arya's cheek. "Tell me, Arya… can Alpha Cristian make you feel these sparks?""No," Arya responded in a small voice. Other than a few times when she stumbled during training, and Alpha Cristian caught her, they never touched. And it was never so gentle and charged with sparks.Keith leaned closer. "Can he make you feel this anticipation that stirs the butterflies in your stomach?" His breath splashed against her lips.Arya inhaled a shaky breath, and she realized that he was picking up her emotions. "You are cheating.""Everything is fair in love and war, Arya. As a general, you should kno
L"Your turn," Arya said to Keith."For?""Tell me something about yourself, Keith of the Dark Howlers pack."Keith told Arya about his work as Talia's guard, his protein-shake business, that he is a coach, a personal trainer, a Lieutenant, and that he helps his sister with the Shifters nightclub, and Arya's eyes widened with every next occupation."There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and only one you. How do you manage all that?" She asked.Keith smirked proudly. "With a bit of planning and prioritizing, anything is possible.""I should ask you to prioritize my work. I was just a general, yet my schedule was packed.""How can you say, JUST a General?" Keith asked sternly. "That's a lot of work. You need to know military tactics, strategies, latest reports, and movements of enemies, make decisions on the fly, be responsible for your subordinates, and all that while training your mind and body to stay in top shape. Don't look down on yourself." Keith genuinely admired Arya's acco
"Drive safely.", Stephanie said to Caden when he started the car. The trio would save a lot of time if they went with a helicopter or a plane, but werewolves like to feel the ground below them and won't fly unless it's absolutely necessary. "Be back in three days.", Stephanie added meaningfully.
~ The Red Moon pack ~ "Out of the way!", Anna spat angrily while carrying a stack of plates into the kitchen. Talia quickly stepped to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She never understood why Anna or other Omegas are treating her like trash, she is an Omega, just like they are. The o
Marcy's mind was a mess after receiving the news that tomorrow she will meet Drake, the Alpha of the notorious Dark Howlers pack, aka her future husband. She still didn't recuperate from the event of finding (and rejecting) her mate, yet now she needs to think about another man. And this was not j
The next day was a blur for Marcy as she struggled to accept reality while cursing the day of returning home.
