Eileen's POV"Luna, I'm sorry, but you've been confirmed as infertile."I sat in the sterile white waiting room of the Wolfpack Hospital, clutching the final report in my trembling hands. *Still.* This was the third time I'd come here to check my fertility since giving birth to Amber. As the Luna of our pack, I'd never missed a single training session, so I knew my body was healthy. Yet, despite following the pack nutritionist's advice—shifting from a vegetarian diet to one rich in meat—nothing had changed.A tear slipped down my cheek, and the nurse's eyes widened in alarm. I quickly wiped it away with the back of my hand, forcing a smile to reassure her I was fine.Leaving the hospital, I tried to focus on the silver lining: I already had Amber, my sweet, quiet daughter. But her silence weighed heavily on me. The pressure of being the heir to the pack was a mountain crushing both me and Jason, my husband and the Alpha of the Stoneheart Pack, the second-largest pack in North America.
Eileen's POVJason's coldness was like a sharp knife, plunging straight into my heart. The pain of the broken bond was unbearable, but this cut deeper. I clenched my teeth, clutching Amber tightly as I dragged myself out of that hell.Amber was still unconscious in my arms. Where could we go? A banished Luna with an autistic daughter—would any pack even accept us?The rain poured down, soaking me to the bone. I couldn't tell if the wetness on my face was rain or tears. I turned back to look at the tightly shut gates of the pack factory. They stood as cold and unwelcoming as Jason's heart.Amber was a smart child. Despite her inability to speak, she had always been remarkable. Yet, she had never received love from her father or the pack. Her birth had been a disappointment to Jason and the pack, and I had faced relentless pressure for not producing a son. Maybe leaving this pack was the best thing I could do for my child. I could only hope my love would be enough for her."It's just us
Arthur's POV"Mate!" my wolf roared in my mind, and Eileen's red eyes confirmed she had sensed it too.I couldn't believe my eyes. My first love, the one I thought I'd lost forever, was standing before me—and she was my mate.Guilt pressed down on my heart like a heavy weight. I thought of how I had treated her before she left, how I had ignored the abuse she endured in the pack. My heart ached, and my throat felt like it was filled with stones.I took a deep breath. I never thought I'd see her again. The letter she left had pierced our hearts like a thousand knives. We all knew we had lost our Eileen.We had tried to find her, but when we learned she had joined the Stoneheart Pack and seemed to be doing well, we gave up on asking her to return.But now, things had changed."Eileen…" I reached out to embrace her, but she stepped back."I, Eileen, a wolf without a pack, reject you, Arthur, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack!" she roared, realizing the situation."No!" I cried out in pain. "I
Eileen's POV"You murderer! You killed our Luna!" A warrior hurled a stone at my forehead, and blood immediately began to flow.I looked to my twin brother, hoping he would defend me, but he only turned away in disgust. Then there was Arthur, my first love, and his two brothers, my close friends.They all pushed me away, spitting at me. Then came the punches and kicks.I blacked out. When I woke up, I saw Jason's gentle expression, but it quickly turned to one of annoyance."My biggest regret is claiming you as my mate! You'll never bear a healthy child. You're worthless to the pack!""Take your monster and leave!" Jason snarled."No!" I screamed.I flailed my arms, but strong hands grabbed me, pulling me into a tight embrace. I opened my eyes.When I saw those familiar, painful eyes, rage burned through my veins.Arthur! The irony—he was my second mate? Did that mean the other two triplets were also my mates? My destined mate had just rejected me for being infertile, and now, my form
Eileen's POV"Eileen. You can make your own choice," Arthur said, his eyes bloodshot, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed hard. His voice was strained, filled with an emotion I couldn't quite place.My shoulders slumped. "I'll see him, but that doesn't mean I forgive you for what you've done to me," I finally replied, my voice steady but laced with bitterness.Growing up, Alpha Joseph had been like a father to me and Alex. In my younger years, he was the embodiment of warmth and safety, though everything changed after that incident."Irene, leave. Don’t set foot in the Blackwood pack again," Alpha Joseph had coldly declared when I lay wounded at the pack's border, my heart shattered along with my trust.I shook off the painful memory. Hearing about his deteriorating health, my concern had outweighed my anger. I remembered the days when his strong, fatherly embrace had comforted me.When I arrived at the hospital, I didn’t see Brett or Kyle, the other two of the triplets. I was re
Eileen's POVAs I left the hospital and saw the familiar pack, memories of past abuse assaulted my soul."You should let them claim you as their mate! They've never been more vulnerable!" my wolf roared. I refused to respond. I could feel Arthur and Brett's pain, but the scars of the past and the fresh betrayal from Jason… I couldn't do it.I told her to shut up. I watched Amber quietly playing with her doll, lost in thought.Arthur seemed to have uncovered the truth about my innocence. But what had really happened to the Luna? Why had Alpha Joseph said those things?Back then, all the rogue scents had vanished, leaving only me and the Luna's body. I'd been unconscious and had no memory of what happened. I'd always wondered how I'd survived. I must have smelled something familiar before I blacked out.I felt uneasy. Scents were the hardest to erase. If dark magic truly existed, it meant all packs were in grave danger…"It's time to use our power, Eileen," my wolf said for the first ti
Eileen's POV"I promise you, for a while," I finally said.Arthur and Brett hugged me tightly, and I could feel their shoulders relax, before they left with the warrior. I was informed to finish breakfast with Amber and join them after.At the breakfast table, Amber still ate independently without my help. The unease in my heart eased again. I ate silently, but the sweet mate scent still lingered in the air. When they embraced me, my heart had actually anticipated more - kisses, hugs, even further...Thinking that, I couldn't help clenching my thighs together, my face heating up."Mom, are you hot?" Amber asked in confusion."No! Sweetheart, I..." I flustered, when Alex suddenly appeared."Elleen! Are you two done?" Alex's timely arrival saved me from the awkwardness. Seeing Amber's empty plate, I nodded.Alex nodded back, then led us to the burial site.It was a private ceremony with only a few attending.I kept watching the triplets' two brothers, seeing their stoic faces refusing t
Jason's POV"Alpha Jason, it's of no use. We're getting the same reports" Silas said, walking into my office and I looked up at him with a heavy frown on my face, hoping I wouldn't be receiving bad news but the look on his face already gave me the answer to what I need."What are you taking about Silas?" I asked him and he dropped a file on my desk and let out a sigh looking frustrated."The attacks on the pack borders, they are getting increasingly troublesome with each one deadlier than the last" He said and my heart dropped, I turned away from him and looked out of the window."And none of our methods have been effective?" I asked and turned to see him none, pursing him lips."None of them, Alpha Jason. This whole issue has tongue-wagging. I believe you've heard about the rumors, not just anyone but even the council members are now murmuring" Silas said and my eyes narrowed."What are they saying Silas?" I demanded and he bit his lower lips before blurting out the words."They are
Eileen's POVThat night, I had a heart dinner with Arthur Kyle, Brett, Alex and Amber. It was the first time I'm a while that all of us were present for a dinner together and it made me really happy to see that I was surrounded by my family, people who truly loved me.All through the dinner, Arthur wouldn't stop singing my praise. He told the story of how I had confronted the council member and even beated them up because I didn't want to back down, to Brett, Kyle and my brother Alex.They were completely caught off guard and mesmerized by the story and when Arthur was done with it, they bombarded me with questions and soo joined him in praising me for being so brave and standing up to those terrible men."What did mommy do?" Amber asked excitedly as she blinked her innocent eyes while waiting for us to explain so she wouldn't feel left out."Well, your mommy stood up to the bad guys and beat them up!" Brett said excitedly and Amber's eyes widened. She looked at me and a bright smile
Eileen's POVAfter lunch, i decided to do a quick workout before my match and soon it was time. I quickly made my way to the training ground. When I arrived, I was surprised to see a huge crowd of people gathered there. There were councilmen, servants, and people of high rank. News had spread quickly, and it seemed like everyone wanted to see the fight. They were cheering around what had been made a ring and I saw many phones in the air, it seemed like some were capturing the moment while others were live streaming. I didn't think it would be this big, to think the councilmen had invited the whole pack to watch my downfall made me want to scoff. My palm curled into a fist, now I was really going to take this match seriously. I wanted to be a somewhat friendly match at first, as I didn't think the councilmen would actually agree to fight their own Luna but It seemed like these men were stubborn and adamantly clinging onto their own believes.Now I knew I couldn't afford to lose this ma
Eileen's POV"How could you suggest that women should go to war for us? Do you even know what that means? It would make us men look like cowards."I was surprised that this was the reason for the meeting. They called all of this because they were scared of how the training would affect their reputation. I was disappointed in the councilmebers here. Were these the people that were supposed to make ruling over this pack easier for my mates and I?I shook my head. "You must have gotten it wrong or maybe you heard the wrong information. Now let me get things straight with you, I am not sending anyone to war, councilman Micheal. I witnessed something that made me disgusted. It opened my eyes to how you men see women in this pack as weak people. I am only helping women to be confident and stronger than they already are. I am empowering them so they would be able to stand up for themselves and defend themselves. This is not something created to ruin your reputation as men and should any woma
Eileen's POVThat night, the memo was released about there being a special training program for females who are of age and it shocked the entire pack, I knew it would have an impact but I personally didn't think it would have that much of an impact. While some of the feedback we got was quite discouraging, we found the voices of some women, young women to be precise, encouraging us and praising us for the bold step we were taking and that was all I needed to be encouraged. I knew not everyone would be happy with this new development but I didn't care, I didn't care about what selfish people wanted, I was going to do what was best for the pack and empowering women was on the top of my to do list.Thankfully, I had supportive mates as Alphas and I knew no one in the pack could defy them unless the person wanted to be cast out as a rogue. My mates were proud of the development I was making and they were cheating me on, every single step of the way and tried their best to be involved in i
Eileen's POVI turned and walked back to the pack, still thinking about what I had just witnessed. It then occurred to me about how I barely ever saw women training. They were perceived as weak women who should only breed and take care of household chores while the men did whatever it was that they wanted. The thought of women being seen in such a way irritated me. I couldn't imagine myself being looked down on because of my gender.It had happened countless times in the field during training as men were overly confident and felt like they could always beat me because I was a female but I managed to prove every one of them wrong every time and it made me proud. I felt like just like me and Mary, there were a lot of other strong women in the pack that refused to let men dictate for them and I wanted to enable them, to make the stronger and stop any man from looking down on them.I strolled back to the pack house with this thought filling my head and took a deep breath, I decided to tal
Eileen's POVThe next day after the binding ceremony was quite overwhelming. I woke up in the arms of my mate, Kyle. He was looking down at me and staring at me so lovingly and I blinked in embarrassment. He has just watched me sleep."Good morning Princess" He whispered and I pulled away and looked away nervously."Good morning Kyle" I said pulling the bedsheets closer to cover me. I was totally naked under the sheets and I just realized that after I tried to sit up. I could already feel the hickeys on my neck and saw some red marks and fingerprints all over me. Handling three grown male and very dominant Alphas at once wasn't something easy. I could barely keep up with their stamina last night. I let out a shaky breath as I tried to push the hair out of my face."Why do you look so shy, you don't have to hide away from me. I've seen all of you and I love all of you" he said and I turned even more red and immediately looked away. He chuckled, his laughter sounding like a warm summer
Eileen's POVI stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection as I tried on dress after dress. I had never imagined that I could have such an elegant, beautiful moment. Each dress was more stunning than the last, and I felt like a princess trying on gowns for a fairy tale ball. The soft rustle of the fabrics, the delicate lace details, and the intricate embroidery all combined to make me feel like a true Luna.Amber applauded and praised from the sidelines, her eyes shining with excitement. "Mommy, you look amazing!" she exclaimed. "The dresses are so beautiful! Everything is beautiful on you" she commented and I blushed and turned to her."Really? You think so?" I asked her and she nodded with her eyes wide in excitement."Yes mommy! You look like a princess, a pretty one" She said and I found myself blushing again."Thank you baby" I said and knelt to kiss her on her forehead while she grinned so brightly and beautifully.Alex, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement. "
Eileen's POV"Brett? You're here?" I called out in surprise and he nodded with a smile, strolling towards me."I just wanted to check up on you Eileen" he said and I smiled lightly."Aren't you supposed to be busy with work?" I asked him, amused and he pulled me by the waist. He was taller than me and I have to strain my neck to look up at him. He then placed a little kiss on my nose and I giggled."What are you doing?" I asked him and he smirked."I'll never be too busy for you" he said and I melted in his arms."Brett" I whispered as he kissed my neck. He then suddenly pulled back and looked serious as he spoke."I really do hope you're not still thinking about what happened at the battle field and with kyle" he said and I let out a huff and turned my face away."Eileen" he called softly, pulling my chin to make me face him as he stared at me with worried eyes."No, Brett, I made a promise to myself. That I wouldn't let scars from the previous battles ruin me. I will become begged a
Eileen's POVThe days after the battle passed in no time and the pack's rebuilding work progressed smoothly. I spent my days helping to reinforce the border defenses, working alongside Amber and the other pack members. Amber was a bundle of energy, always laughing and joking as we worked. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her, her playful nature infectious. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she teased the other pack members, her laughter ringing out and cheering people.At one point, Amber decided to try and lift a log that was bigger than she was. She strained and grunted, her face scrunched up with effort, but just as she was about to lift it, she lost her balance and stumbled. I rushed to catch her, but before I could, a tall brunette guy swooped in and caught her, holding her safely in his arms."Hey, hey, careful there princess" he said with a smile and I looked up at him thankfully. I had gone white in fear at the thought of amber hurting herself."Thanks," I said, smiling
