I need to tell you a story, and everything I'm about to say is the truth.”Malachi tightened his grip on her hand.“I'm listening.”Rose took a breath.“A while ago, Sabine was at the Moon Valley Pack Ball. She was in a terrible place emotionally. Elias had found his mate, and our former mate, Darius, had found his second-chance mate and was becoming an Alpha.”Malachi nodded.“She was drinking heavily that night. An older gentleman approached her while she was very intoxicated.”His expression grew serious.“How much older?”“Much older.”“Okay. Go on.”“She ended up going back to the pack house with him. They kissed and fooled around a little, but he refused to have
Sabine's POVThe drive was silent.I sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window, unable to bring myself to look at Malachi.He hadn't said a word since we left the pack house.Neither had I.Before I knew it, we pulled into a clearing surrounded by dense woods. Several mountains rose in the distance, their peaks visible above the trees.Malachi parked and turned off the engine.I continued staring out the window.A long, heavy sigh came from beside me.“So, are we gonna sit here all day, or are you gonna tell me what the hell is going on with you?”I glanced at him through the reflection in the side mirror.I couldn't turn around.I couldn't face him.For starters, I was so fucking embarrassed I wanted to disappear through the floor, and second, I already knew what was going to happen when he found out.He was going to reject me.Hell, if I were him, I'd reject me too.Rose sighed inside my head."Stop being a wimp and tell him.""Rose, please.""Just rip the fucking Band-Aid
Rowan's POV“So, Judy, I understand you and Kaine are pretty good with IT?”Judy looked toward her mate, who chuckled.“Yes, Alpha. We are. Actually, we own one of the top technology companies in the region.”I nodded.“Good to know.”“Whatever you need, just let me know. We can put together plans for the pack, run the necessary lines underground, and make sure everything is properly connected and secured.”He continued explaining internet infrastructure, security systems, and what his company could provide.I was genuinely interested.Blackwood had excellent security, but there was nothing wrong with upgrading our technology, especially with everything happening lately.I was about to ask him another question when my daughter's voice suddenly entered my mind."Dad! Get over here to the pack house. Now!"I frowned."Valeria? What's wrong, my girl?:"Oh, nothing, Dad. But Sabine just met her second-chance mate, and he's an Alpha!"I blinked.Then I laughed."Well, that's wonderful news
Sabine's POVWho the fuck did this asshole think he was?I shoved Malachi away with every ounce of strength I had and stormed out of the pack house.The nerve of this man!Just because he was an Alpha and apparently my second-chance mate didn't mean he could order me around like some obedient little bitch.I was halfway down the pathway toward Aunt Judy's house when I felt him following me.Of course.I growled under my breath and kept walking.His presence grew stronger.I stopped abruptly, spun around, and let out a furious growl.“WHAT?”Malachi stormed toward me, looking just as pissed off.“What the fuck is wrong with you?”I stared at him.Before I could answer, Rose decided to put her two cents in."Human, you better not reject that Alpha."I rolled my eyes."Rose, stay out of this.""No, bitch! You listen to me. If you reject our second-chance mate, I swear I'll leave your ass and return to the Moon Goddess. And I mean it!"I frowned.Well, damn.Even my own wolf was threateni
Valeria's POVThe growling and screaming coming from down the hall sounded suspiciously like that cackling-ass hen Sabine.What the hell was going on now?I stepped out of the game room with Marco, Kendall, and Chloe, and we all stopped dead in our tracks.What in the entire fuck?Sabine was standing in the hallway with a man who had his arms wrapped around her.And I'm not going to lie.The man was handsome as hell.Tall, broad-shouldered, dark swoopie hair, lined low cut beard, gorgeous face, and the kind of confidence that practically screamed Alpha.But the way he was holding Sabine?Goddess.He was on her like flies on shit.Before I could figure out what was happening, he pulled her closer and kissed the absolute hell out of her.My mouth fell open.Oh, shit.I leaned toward Marco and whispered in his ear.“Who is that?”Marco's eyes widened.“That's Alpha Mason's nephew. Malachi.”“Oh.”I frowned.“I thought that was the future Alpha. Wait, is he an Alpha too?”“Yeah. He's Alph
Carmella's POVI paced around the room, staring at the prick who'd just used his magic to choke my mate.Louis was frozen, his hands still raised toward Caden. The spell remained wrapped around my mate's throat, and I needed to get it off him.But first, I had to deal with this bastard.I needed a binding spell. A powerful one.The problem was, would it work while his magic was still active?I bit my lip and looked upward.“Goddess Gaia, please let this work.”Closing my eyes, I began chanting, reaching deep into the magic of my ancestors.As I circled Louis, I pushed my consciousness into his mind.Normally, I couldn't read him. He'd always managed to block me, which told me two things: he was incredibly old, and he knew exactly what kind of power I possessed.But with time frozen, his defenses weren't responding.Joke's on your ass, Louis.Then again, joke's on me too, because I hadn't believed I could actually freeze time until five minutes ago.I pushed deeper into his memories.H
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
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
Draven’s POV “…I’m sorry, what the fuck did you just say?”I know I heard her wrong.I know I did.But there’s no way in hell she actually just said that shit.Raven smirks.Not nervous and there was no hesitation at all.A whole damn smug ass smirk.“You heard me,” she says smoothly. “I’m reject
Elias’s POV As we pull up to the Stone Mountain ball, I exhale slowly, trying to keep my face neutral.Because yeah…I’m nervous.Not just nervous...I’m fucking terrified.And there’s no way in hell I’m letting anyone see that.Caden’s voice fills the SUV, loud as ever, talking about how many gir
