“Why so serious Alpha Allison Trust Wells?” Devin teased, but the concern was evident in his voice, I found that adorable.“Nothing major Alpha Devin Summers.” I spun around and threw my arms around his neck, sending him a wicked smile. Devin placed his hands on my waist and pulled me closer; the teasing look was now replaced by an apprehensive

“Allison, may I have a word with you?” Yasmin’s voice dragged my attention away from Peyton and Dristan’s pointless argument.“Sure.” I turned to follow her away from the crowd. Today was the last day the Crescent Moon Pack would spend with us, their training was finally complete and they were ready to lead their pack.

“Everybody out.” I called as we stepped into the room, I could feel the anger still coursing through my veins, but I simultaneously felt hopeless.“Alphas.” Connor greeted as he passed and was followed by the rest of the group that had gathered in Christopher’s infirmary room.I approached his bed and took a seat beside Taylor who looked worried by what was about to come, while Devin paced at the foot of the bed, looking deep in thought.“How are you feeling?” I started.“Weak, but okay.” He answered nervously.“Look Chris, what happened today is unacceptable. I understand that it’s something that you have little to no control over, but we need to find a permanent solution for this, before anyone else gets hurt.” I explained gravely.“I understand, that’s why I think it’s best if I leave the pack.” Taylor gasped and sprang onto her feet in shock.“You can’t do that!” She cried, tears already gathering in her eyes. “Taylor, calm down and let’s talk about this.” I reasoned and t

“Alpha Allison, speaking.” I panted, feeling heavily out of breath. “Uh, are you okay, Ma’am?” The voice on the other end of the line queried with uncertainty. “Yes, I’m fine. Just out of breath, I ran to the phone you see.” I laughed, “Who am I speaking to?” I asked politely, feeling my breathing returning to normal. “You’re speaking to Benjamin from the Cresent Moon pack.” he trailed off nervously and I frowned. “I’m looking for Alpha Summers.” He continued. “You’re speaking to her, how can I help you Benjamin?” I wondered where Oliver and Yasmin were and worry bubbled up inside me. The young man was quiet for a while before he spoke again, “I- Uh…” His confusion made me giggle. “Benjamin, calm down and tell me what’s going on? Where are Oliver and Yasmin?” I soothed. “They’re fine. They don’t know that I’ve called you.” My face once again pulled into a frown. Taking a seat on Devin’s chair, I spoke again, “Why have you called me, Benjamin?” “I am sorry Alpha, I assumed you were a

My sleep was broken by the door to the infirmary opening, I heard faint whispers as I tried to will myself from my sleepy haze.“Shh baby, Aunty Allison is sleeping.” My eyes fluttered open and caught sight of the three of them looking down at Dominic in my arms.“Aunty Allison is awake.” I smiled and looked at Devin, silently asking him to help me up, which he caught onto without hesitation.“Aww, you guys are so sweet. Why couldn’t you be so sweet when I got out of labour?” Yasmin slapped Oliver on the chest and her daughter giggled.“Oh Yas, don’t give him such a hard time, Devin has had more than enough practice over the last few months.” I laughed as I shuffled up into a sitting position.“Damn right. By now I know what every look means without her saying a word.” His eyes widened and Yasmin laughed. “That bad huh?” She grimaced.“It was worth every moment. Meet Dominic Summer, future Alpha of the Moon Shadow pack.” I stroked my son’s fluffy dark brown hair. “Can I touch him?” O
