Gabriel's POV
The wedding ceremony. My new Beta, James, walked in to inform me of the prepared event,it was time for the groom to come out. Today was my wedding day I was going to mark Irene as my Luna. She was a Delta's daughter making her the other right candidate for the position unlike my so called mate who was an Omega. My wolf had been acting strange lately he wanted to back out from our decision and wanted to get closer to Tasha. But fortunately for me I heard Tasha fled the pack and I will make sure I punish her if she dares to come back. “Everything is ready Sir.” James announced. “Let's go.” I adjusted my tie properly before walking outside. The pack members stood up in reference for me and bowed,I walked to the podium where the priestess was and waited for Irene. The door opened and Irene walked gracefully to where we were. “Our Luna is beautiful.” James commented from behind me. Unlike Luke my former Beta who was always having issues with my decision,James will come in handy. “Alpha.” Irene said timidly. I took her hands and led her to where the priestess was,the priestess gave me a knife to start the mating tradition,I took the knife from her and turned to face Irene. “Your hand.” She stretched her right palm towards me. “It's going to hurt.” I informed. “It's nothing I can't handle.” She winked at me. I nodded and slit her palm she winced in pain,I slit mine also then joined our palm together after making sure our blood had mixed. I moved towards the crook of her neck released my fang and suck Into her neck she moaned softly and i withdrew from her. “Long live the Alpha and the Luna!!” The crowd cheered. “I don't think we've made the right decision.” My wolf said sadly but I ignored him. “Congratulations Alpha.” One of the Alpha who came for my wedding greeted. We were now in the hall where the wedding party was being held,all the Alpha graced my occasion except one,the Alpha of the Storm Pack. And I'm glad he didn't come, he's a proud man and he thinks he owns this world. “How's things at your pack?” I asked them. “Very well Alpha,all thanks to your benevolence.” They cheered. I chuckled at their comments,James came from behind me and whispered into my ear “There's someone in your office I couldn't see his face because he was putting on a mask,but he said his name is Noone.” My eyes widened “Please excuse me.” I walked away from the crowd,I ordered James to stay back and marched to my office. “What the heck do think you are doing!” I shut the door of my office from behind me and turned to see Noone sitting on my chair. “I came for your wedding didn't I?” He gave a monstrous chuckle. I marched to where he was and pulled him up by his collar before growling at him but he chuckled at my reaction. “What!” He yelled. “You don't have a problem with the other Alpha visiting but you have a problem with me because I'm a rogue!!” I released my grip on him. “Its just-” “Forget it!” He cut me short. “I'm just here to tell you that the phase of our plans has began.” “The beginning of the end!!” He laughed evily. ********************************* Irene's POV The wedding ceremony The news of Natasha's pregnancy almost got me mad,I had to plead with my mother not to tell the Alpha about it. I'm very sure the baby belongs to Gabriel. They must have gotten intimate that explains the look Gabriel has been giving. But thankfully Tasha is no more in the picture and my plans to become the Luna was successful. “You look beautiful my dear.” My mother said after I was done with the makeup. “Thank you mom.” I stood up and hugged her. I just wish Tasha doesn't show up and ruin my plans or tell Gabriel about her pregnancy. “It's time Luna.” One of the maiden came in to tell me. “Mom.” I hugged her one more time before stepping out. I got to the hall where the mating ceremony was being held,I was told Gabriel was in there already. The guards announced my presence and opened the door for me,I walked inside carefully,I looked around anxiously hoping and praying Natasha wasn't any where. I got to where Gabriel was and gave him a faint smile. “Alpha.” I greeted. He stretched his hands towards me I then took it he led me to where the priestess was standing. We were now backing the crowd,the priestess recited some words and then gave Gabriel the knife. “Your hand.” Gabriel pointed to my right hand. I stretched my palm to him and he took it in his huge hand. “It's going to hurt.” He said softly. “It's nothing that I can't handle.” I winked at him. I knew it was going to hurt, since I was going to be bonded to the Alpha. Gabriel took my palm and slit it, winced in pain he slit his palm also and joined her palms together,I smiled happily as I felt our blood flowing together. Gabriel then moved to the crook of my neck where he was going to mark me. This was the most painful part,he released his fangs and then bit my neck a moan escaped from my mouth and my face flushed in embarrassment. Within a couple of minutes I felt the electricity spark through my body,I could feel what Gabriel was feeling at the moment. But it wasn't a feeling of happiness. “Long live the Alpha and the Luna!!” The cheering of the crowd distracted me from my thoughts. Gabriel took my hands and we turned to face the pack members who were beaming with joy. Today,I Irene, achieved my dream. I waved to the crowd happily. “Irene there's one more thing you must do tonight.” My mom told me when we were in my wedding party. “What's that mom?” I arched my eyebrows. She moved closer to face me and whispered “Explicit sex.” “What!” My mouth fell opened. “What do you mean by that mom?” I shook my head at her and took a glass of wine from the waiter. “Do you think Alpha Gabriel marking you has sealed the deal?” She asked and I blinked trying to process her words. Isn't that's all there is. She sighed and continued. “You have to have sex with him tonight, make sure it's rough and make sure your blood mixes together on bed.” She explained. “Will that make our bond complete?” “Yes it will, give in to my advice and you will soon have the Alpha at your beak and call.” She supplied. I nodded at her advice and thought of how I will warm Gabriel's bed tonight.I glanced to see him leaving the hall in a rush. I excused myself and ran after him. I was about to open the door to his office but paused when I heard the sound of argument. “Forget it!I'm just here to tell you that the phase of our plans has began.” I heard a man's voice. And he had the nerve to yell at an Alpha.I brought my ear closer to the door. “The beginning of the end!!” The nab man released a monstrous laugh and I couldn't help but panic. Who was he? And what did he mean by the beginning of the end?Natasha's POV “I'm sorry, this happened to you?” I whispered to Xavier who was bedridden, Different pipes and wires were attached to his body. The only thing that I could hear was the beeping sound of the machine, and my own voice.“I hope you wake up soon, Jayden misses you, I miss you too.”“I heard people can hear when they are in a coma.” Connor walked in.“Hi.” I smiled before facing Xavier.“I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you.” Connor said and I looked at him.He had the guilty expression, something was eating him up.“It's not your fault,if it's someone's fault then it's mine for not being able to stand up for myself.” That's why I was now determined to do whatever it takes to train hard,I wouldn't let the dark force have his way whoever he was.Gabriel alone turned her life this way.I needed to be prepared to defend my mate and my family.Connor sighed deeply and I glanced at him,he fiddled with his hands before staring at me.“Do you have something to say to me?” I
Natasha's POV“Hey! How are you feeling? Should I call Luke!” Ryan asked as he checked my body worriedly.“I…what happened?” I asked as he helped me rest my back on the bed.“Hey look at me.” He brought his face closer to my head.“Do you feel any pain at all,are you sure you are good…forget it I'm calling Luke!” He stood up and I held his arm.His eyes landed on my hand before looking at me,my throat burned when I tried to talk and I swallowed my saliva.“Don't leave.” I clung onto him.“I just want to call Luke, I'm not leaving.” He sat on the bed.I moved closer to him and wrapped my hands around his waist tightly,he stiffened for a while when he heard my son's he then pulled me closer.“I thought ….i…wouldn't be able to see you again Ryan.” I said amidst sobbing.“It felt.. like hell being separated from you…I .. tried escaping…but …I was weak..all this happened because I was weak!”“Hey!” He lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You aren't weak, you are the strongest woman I ha
Meeting Mother.Natasha's POVThe scenery that surrounded me was peaceful,my eyes roamed around the beautiful garden,the waterfall and the beautiful animal.I walked to the water body to check my reflection and I was surprised at what I saw. My skin was glowing and I was in a white flower dress. I heard footsteps and I turned around to see who was approaching.“Who are you?” It was a woman and I think we share a resemblance.She was also in a white flower dress but hers were longer than mine.Taking a deep closer at her she looked exactly like me. It was just that she was older and her hair was silver while mine was deep black.“Do you like what you see?” She ignored my question.My eyes followed her movement as she went to one of the trees,she stretched her hands and a fruit fell on her hands on its own.“Here.” She stretched her hand for me to take it from her.I eyed the fruit suspiciously contemplating if it was poisoned or not.“It's not poisoned.” She chuckled and I blinked.Did s
SubconsciousRyan's POVThe fury I was keeping in check to slay Gabriel dissolved when I saw Irene's clothes that was stained with blood. I couldn't blame her for killing him the way he treated her was to be blamed. I made sure Gabriel's head was separated from his body so there would be no chance of survival, although I didn't get the satisfaction of watching him suffer but the fact that he was no more and he posed no threat to my family anymore was enough assurance.“Where is she?” I asked Connor immediately when I got down from the car.“Luke is attending to her,she hasn't gained consciousness.” He answered and followed me from behind.“Take Irene to the pack hospital and let a psychiatrist attend to her.” I stopped walking and told him.“Okay.”“What about Elsa? Is she good?” I asked him before he turned around.I don't know if Elsa needed medical attention but it would be best if she gets a check up.“Elsa is good,she is with Lisa inside.” He answered.I left Connor to do his thi
Gabriel's POV I sped through the forest hastily, taking every shortcut to get out of the pack so noone won't catch up with me. I failed again! I paused on my track when I heard the howling of wolves.I sniffed through the air to check if it was rogues or Ryan's me.It appeared to be Ryan's men from the decent,I shifted back in my human form moving around in my wolf form would be too dangerous and they would catch up with me since my wolf was big and they will be able to spot me easily. I moved carefully and hid at the back of the tree when I spotted two brown wolves,one was bigger than the other. I looked around carefully to see if they were just the only two for now. I slowly brought out the silver pocket knife I had kept with me,I glanced around calculating the velocity that would take me to slit the two wolves' throats before they could make a sound. Without thinking much,I sped like the speed of light caught them unaware before slitting their throat. They shifted back into the
Ryan's POVI should have known that Gabriel was cunning and smart,I should have pointed out that he would creep in the silver claw pack. He has nowhere to go before no one to shield him.I stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed limit, Irene was In Front next to me as she described the route I should take. According to the painting that Elsa drew, Irene said the house was part of Gabriel's secluded area in the pack and there were rumors that it belonged to his mother but I didn't care about that. All I wanted was to get my mate back safely.“Stay in the car with her.” I told Irene as I dropped off.Elsa was unconscious and according to her she had drained all her energy in creating the spell and it would take weeks for her to recover so I had to go alone.“Please be safe!” Irene called as I walked away.As I took some steps forward,I perceived an aura,I wasn't sure if it belonged to Gabriel. I took my phone and sent instructions to Connor to order my men stationed in the pa
