Xander's PovThe moon sat elegantly in the sky. It's presence was welcomed with joy by the pack members.Tonight, we created the pack mind link and officially celebrated my position as Alpha.Based on Hera's news, we had a day before Antonio made his move. The pack mind link had to be done before we went to battle.Leila was carried away by madam Kimmy and some omegas in the evening. We were also going to do a mating ceremony for all pack members that were interested.Hera said it would improve our bond as a pack.The noise ceases as Hera climbed the podium. Official or not, she was the current priestess of the pack and they held her in high regards.“My beloved people…” she began. Her calm but firm voice grabbed the attention of everyone present even the children.“... from this night on, you'll no longer be individuals living together for protection but you will be a unified family. Held together by the bond blessed by the goddess and the leadership of your Alpha. There will be no m
Hera's Pov The forest surrounding the house was silent, like all the creatures around were holding their breath. Waiting for me to break the news to Selen.There was no way out of this. If she didn't tell her, she would leave and telling her could affect the pregnancy.I could feel her anxiety and excitement. I stared at the coconut juice in my hand, Selen had come to like it as her pregnancy grew but I knew that the sweet taste won't calm her down.Sighing, I opened the door.Her instant smile made my desire to kill that bastard grow.“Is that for me?” she asked, looking at the juice in my hand. I nodded and handed it to her.“Selen…”“Hmm? Don't worry, I won't drink much. I don't know how your magic will affect me or the babies, I don't want to add nausea to the problem.”I don’t want to do this. She looks so happy.“I thought about this as you were gone. You can't just appear in his house, it will scare him shitless and everyone would be wary of us…We'll have to appear a distance
Leila's Pov I stepped back in shock, staring at Xander with wide eyes.What was that? What the fuck was that?!I shivered from the memory of the pleasure that ran through my body from that short kiss.‘Mate! Mate!! Mate!!!’ clamoured Lea in my head.Was she correct? Did he know?Of course he knew, his link is perfect with his wolf but for how long? Why didn't he say anything?Xander was staring at me like I was his prey. His gaze made me feel giddy and amazing.His pupils became dark, so dark that it looked like they had turn black.“I can see you little wolf.”His voice, “Hala?”“Hello mate.”Shit! Shit!!‘Why are you thinking too much when our mate is in front of us? Please switch of your brain. I want to be taken care of.’ Lea was purring. Fucking purring in my head.It was cute and I would have appreciated it more if I wasn't in shock right now.Xander was my mate. Mine. The goddess must be smiling down at me.He slowly moved closer until he was in front of me.“Calm down.” He st
Leila's Pov “How is she feeling?” I asked once madam Kimmy sat. She placed the tray of food on the table.“She's asleep for now. I think it will last till night.”I glanced at Jean's room, worried. “Is that normal? Leaving her to sleep through out the day like this?”Her gaze softened, “Jean has an easy heat. It sends her into deep slumbers and the pain level fluctuates. The long sleep helps when the pain is at the maximum. When she finds her mate, the pain will reduce a lot but I doubt the sleeping part will go away.”“Oh.”I have never experienced heat before because of the link with my wolf. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually an omega. That's what father said but I don't have their attributes neither do I have the attributes of any other type of wolf.I sighed.“Eat up. I know you haven't had anything today.”“Thank you…Madam Kimmy?”“Yes darling” she replied. “Sugar?”“Yes, three cubes. Madam Kimmy, do you think I can have children?”She paused her tea making and gave me her full
Xander's PovToday was the meeting with the elders. They were eager to hear what I had to say so it was scheduled early.“Good morning Alpha” Grey greeted as he stopped beside me.“Good morning. You had a good night?”“Yes Alpha.”We continued walking. Leila was with madam Kimmy and her daughter, they wanted to relax for a bit.After the Amelia incident, Liam quickly put some people on patrol duty but Grey and Damien were still consistent. “Have you found a good spot?” “Yeah. You can come see it later. It's separate from the houses but not secluded so security can be look lax while it's really tight. Escaping will be difficult because anyone can see what's going on.”I nodded. We finally found a spot to build a prison.“Alright, I'll see you soon Grey.”“Are you sure you don't want any of us with you Alpha?”“Yes. Everyone should rest today, I have a feeling that there will be no time for that soon.”“Alright.”“Tell Hera I need to see her after this.”“Okay Alpha. The next time I s
Sonia's Pov I endured until I was in the safety of my home. Antonio's guard dogs finally left.Sighing, I dropped my bag to the floor and sank into my favorite chair. Taking the poison with me was a last minute decision and it had saved my life.Antonio was being generous, letting me walk away. This was his way of showing that he cared about how I felt concerning Amelia's death. His way of allowing me grief.“Amelia…” I clutched my sides violently, rocking forward and backward.My chest hurts, tears rolled down my eyes. I let them.“Why? What were you thinking?!”Was it worth it? Whatever Antonio promised you my dear daughter, was it worth losing your live?My wolf hummed gently, trying to comfort me. My mind wandered to the first time I realized I was pregnant…‘Antonio no, I don't want to’ I said pushing his hands away from my laps.‘You don't want to or you want me to force you you enjoy that.’We were in our pack, Silver Quin Pack. Born and raised in the pack, we literally grew u
