LOGINElias's POV continued....."Number two. The Moonstorm Pack will be there."The room changed immediately."Which means Raven will be there."My brother growled low in his throat.I looked at him."We all know who Raven is. We're going to stay the fuck away from her."Draven slid lower in his chair.He leaned his head against the back and stared at the ceiling. His leg started bouncing.I looked directly at him."We're all going to be adults. That includes you, Valeria."Valeria scoffed."Why should I be an adult with a bitch who rejected my brothers?"Elena immediately high-fived her."Exactly."Sabine rolled her eyes.Valeria continued."I don't have to be cordial with her. If she walks up to me, I'll walk away. As long as she doesn't get a snotty attitude with me."She looked toward Draven and me."And if either of you meets your second-chance mate, I bet she won't like it. I know women like that."She pointed toward the imaginary direction of Raven."They'll always think you'r
Elias’s POVAs I walked into the packhouse, I released a long sigh.I had a meeting with my ranking members, and considering everyone was going off pack lands to attend Moon Valley's mating ball this upcoming weekend, there was some shit we needed to get straight.Security.Travel arrangements.Pack responsibilities.And, most importantly, making sure nobody acted like a damn fool while we were guests on another Alpha's territory.My brother and I were doing much better these days.I wasn't carrying nearly as much resentment toward the she-wolf who had rejected us. For a while, I'd been holding onto that rejection so tightly that I'd been drinking myself into oblivion.Secretly, of course.Draven had handled his pain completely differently.He'd made an absolute ass of himself and let half the pack watch him spiral.Eventually, we both realized we needed to give the alcohol a break.I had also decided to give Sabine a break. Unfortunately, Sabine hadn't decided to give me one.She wa
Geri — Alpha Silas's Wolf POVMy human is the epitome of a fucking idiot.There. I said it.Now the both of us are trapped inside this endless darkness, suspended in a void that feels neither alive nor dead. And why? Because my human couldn't do the one thing every mated wolf is expected to do.Be faithful.Instead, every time Luna Celeste wasn't affectionate enough... every time she was grieving... every time she was exhausted... he ran to another she-wolf."My mate isn't paying enough attention to me."Fine."I'll sleep with an Omega."Then it became..."She turned my dick down tonight."Fine."I'll find one of the warrior females to fuck."Again, and again, and again.He never once stopped to ask why his mate was hurting. Never once thought to talk to her.No...He simply satisfied himself somewhere else. The Moon Goddess really saddled me with the biggest douche bag alive.I turned my head as I sensed him beside me.Silas looked around the empty darkness before his gaze settled on
Celeste’s POVExplicit Scenes Ahead ....One hour earlier.....Aaron looked at me, still a little anxious. “So… can we leave these illustrious people, now?”I smiled. “Yeah. We can leave.”I hugged the girls tightly. “Goodnight, you two.”Sloane smirked. “I think you’re going to have a great night, Mom.”“Stay in the child’s place,” I told them. They both laughed.I hugged Allora next. “If Silas calls, you know the drill.”“I do.”Adrian got a quick embrace. “I’ll see you tomorrow… maybe.”He glanced at his brother and chuckled. “I might not see you for a couple of days.”Aaron winked at him. I groaned under my breath.We started up the stairs, his hand warm and slightly trembling around mine. I was moving too slowly. Without warning he scooped me up like I weighed nothing.“Aaron... ”He buried his face against my neck and dragged his tongue slowly over my pulse, then sucked hard enough to make my knees weak even though he was carrying me. A broken sound left my throat."Human, we ar
Silas's POVRing. Ring. Ring."Alpha Adrian of the Moon Valley Pack. How can I help you?""Adrian, it's Silas.""Hey, Silas. What's up, man?"I cleared my throat."Has my Luna come to visit you?"There was a brief pause."Celeste? No. I don't remember seeing her pull into the garage, and no one reported her coming through the gates. Why? Was she supposed to come here?"I sighed heavily."I'm not sure. She left this morning saying she was going to search for our daughters.""Oh." Adrian's voice softened. "No, she hasn't come by here. Do you need help? I can send scouts over to help search for the girls if you want.""No. But I was thinking..."I hesitated."Before your mating ball... I was wondering if my pack could come a little early.""That's fine with me," Adrian replied. "If you want to come early, you're more than welcome. You think maybe the girls will show up here? You've still got another two weeks before the ball. By then your Luna should've made it back."I rubbed my forehea
Celeste's POV"Aaron..."My voice barely came out above a whisper."I... I don't understand."He simply looked at me.And I looked back at him.This man...The one I'd known practically my entire life.We'd gone to school together. Our families had always been close. Allora and I practically grew up alongside the Beta's sons. Even our younger brother, before he left and became Alpha of his Luna's pack, had been close friends with them despite being five years younger.How had I never seen this?I glanced at Adrian. Then at my twin sister, Allora, who stood quietly rubbing her stomach. My eyes drifted to my daughters.Finally, I shook my head."I still don't understand. My mate never accepted my rejection."Aaron stepped closer until he stood right in front of me.He gently cupped my cheek."It's always been you."His voice was soft."I knew it, but that night of the mating ball..."He smiled sadly."If you remember, I wasn't there."I frowned."I remember you missing the ball... but I
Draven’s POV“Bro… how many times are you gonna change your tie?”I leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, watching my twin for what felt like the tenth damn time as he adjusted, loosened, then redid the same black tie like it personally offended him.Elias shot me a sharp look in the mirror, ja
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
