MasukNova’s POV I dumped my suitcase onto the bed and added and sorted everything between it and my makeup bag. We hadn't unpacked much. Most of our belongings were still in the box truck Lucien drove over with most of our items from Silvercrest, so we only had to gather the few bags we'd brought into the old Beta house.If we hadn't found our mates, Sloane and I would've eventually moved into one of the cottages and unpacked then. Instead, we were leaving for Blackwood in the morning.Valeria glanced at the bags.“Is this all you brought with you?”I laughed. “No. Most of our stuff is in a moving box truck. We just need someone to drive it back to Blackwood.”“That's smart,” she said.“Maybe the Moon Goddess was helping us. Maybe she was like, ‘Hey, bitches, don't unpack because you're about to find your mates.’”We both burst out laughing.Elena entered the room with her mask placed on the back of her head. “What are you guys laughing about?”“Nothing,” I said. “Are you guys finished?”
Elias POV I sat there watching my mate walk upstairs with my sister, her best friend, and her sister to pack.Am I excited?Fuck yes.I was beyond excited.She was accepting me.Not completely, not yet, but she was giving me a chance.After everything that had happened, I knew I had fucked up. I knew there were things I needed to prove to her, things I needed to make right.And I was going to do everything in my power to make sure I didn't screw this up again.I prayed to the Moon Goddess that hopefully I could correct my mistakes.Then there was the whole situation with Sabine.I already had a feeling that was going to be pure fucking torture.I leaned back against the couch and looked down at my hands, a smile spreading across my face.My wolf, Apollo, laughed inside my head."You know, mate isn't going to make this easy on you."I sighed."I know, but I'm going to try my best."Apollo's amusement faded slightly."Human, that's all we can do is try our best."I nodded."Then I'll t
Meanwhile, back at Moon Valley Pack, things were finally starting to feel a little less chaotic.....Sloane's POV I looked over at my sister.“So, sister... what are we doing?”Nova looked at me, and I immediately mind-linked her.Nova.I felt the connection open between us, and I knew her mate, Elias, could probably tell she was mind-linking me, even though we were sitting right beside each other.Sure enough, I saw him stiffen slightly.I almost smiled.People always said our eyes glazed over when we mind-linked, but that's not exactly how it worked. Yeah, our eyes might glaze over for a second, but we could still see everything happening around us.And I saw him.He knew.Nova sighed.I'm going to give him a chance.I nodded.But we're going to have to make sure everything is put into place before we get there.That was exactly how I felt.We need to talk to him, his Beta, his Gamma, their parents, and anyone else who is going to have a significant role in our lives.I sighed.“I
Alpha Silas POV“What the fuck do you mean I've been out for three weeks?”My voice echoed through the hospital room.The omegas immediately looked at one another, as did the nurses and doctors. Nobody seemed willing to answer me.That only made my temper flare hotter.One of the doctors finally cleared his throat.“Alpha...”I narrowed my eyes.“We've been trying to contact Alpha Damien, but they're not answering.”My wolf stirred inside me, and a deep growl rumbled from my chest.“What do you mean they're not answering?”I looked around the room.“Get me a fucking cellphone.”One of the omegas immediately scrambled out of the room.A few minutes later, she returned with a phone in her hands. She walked over cautiously and held it out to me.I snatched it from her.She immediately scampered backward.I sighed before unlocking the phone and dialing my parents.The phone rang.And rang.And rang.Nothing.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it.The fuck was going on?Firs
Third Person POV The mating ball at Moon Valley was in full swing.Music flowed through the grand ballroom as wolves from packs throughout the realm mingled, danced, drank, and searched for their fated mates. The chandeliers cast a warm golden glow over the room while servers moved between the guests with trays of champagne and other expensive drinks.At the center of it all were Alpha Adrian and Luna Allora.The royal couple moved gracefully through the ballroom, stopping to greet different alphas, lunas, Kings, Queens, and visiting guests. Adrian exchanged handshakes and polite conversation while Allora smiled warmly, making everyone feel welcome.But not everyone was enjoying themselves.Raven stood near one of the massive pillars, her champagne flute dangling loosely between her fingers as she scanned the ballroom for the Alpha twins.She still hadn't seen them.And yes, she had rejected them.She wasn't going to deny that.But that didn't mean she wasn't beginning to regret it.
LucianAs I watched the twins and my brother come down the stairs, they looked a hell of a lot better than they had when they went up.Especially Draven, but Elias...he looked... lost.I couldn't blame him.He was probably sitting there wondering whether his mate was actually going to come back to Blackwood with him. And after everything we'd just heard about what happened to the twins, I couldn't blame Nova for being hesitant.Hell, I'd be nervous too.Especially knowing your new mate had a long list of admirers waiting around his pack.Draven had already cleared up most of his situation, which was a hell of a lot worse than Elias's, but that didn't mean Elias was completely innocent.And then there was Sabine.Our beta's daughter was running around acting like she could have an Alpha whenever she wanted simply because she'd decided she wanted him.I sighed as the twins sat down.Reluctantly, Nova took the seat beside Elias.The moment she did, I saw a smile slowly form on my brother
Third Person POVThe sirens rang through the Blackwood Pack lands like a five alarm fire in the California Hills. It was just after midnight when the alarms brought the pack to life as the red emergency lights were strobing violently across the grounds lighting up the darkness with pulsating flashe
The War of a Hundred YearsThree hundred years ago…before the realm fractured…before the Moon fell silent…There was a war of wars.Not the kind whispered about in pack halls.Not the kind fought over land, power, or pride.This war was of internal rot.It started quietly, like something festerin
Elias’s POV I sigh as I step out of the kitchen area, finally done meeting with the head Omega, her staff, and the Gammas.Yeah, I did all of that, and that should be my Luna’s job, but I don’t have one.So it falls on me. Like everything else. My mom is still Luna… technically, but she’s semi-r
Draven’s POV Two Years Later....“Son, you are one of the most powerful Alphas in this country. You need to get your shit together.”I roll my eyes, leaning back in the chair like I don’t have a care in the world.Because honestly?I don’t.My dad keeps talking, going on and on, and his words are
