Alejandro's POVA gaping hole stared at the faces of my subjects. My canines elongated and I knew my eyes had turned a molten black."How could you? How could you let them get so close?" I erupted, slamming my palms on the table as I stood up."Your majesty, you know how the youngsters are, as soon as they get a grip on their abilities, it's hard to keep track." One of the men spoke, his head bowed low as he spoke.I glared at the man, watching his quivering form while I shook with anger. "Well you see what that has caused, you see the shit we're in now?" I bellowed, uncaring that my voice could be heard by the rest of the castle."But your majesty-" before he could

Flashback They locked me the loft, it was only me in the room, a small patch of glass allowed me to see what was going on outside. Everyone was fighting; I couldn't tell who was who since they were all in werewolf form. My wolf side had yet to fully develop, it made me vulnerable as I was unable to fight nor could I communicate with other members of my pack. I couldn't smell much other than the build up of dust that accumulated in the small room causing my nose to wrinkle, I sneezed. I had climbed on to one of the chairs so I could see what was going on. I bit the inside of my cheek as I concentrated on balancing on my tippy toes and peering through the small box window in the corner of the room. I wish I hadn't. Nothing but death stared me in the face, people were gnashing their teeth at one another, clamping their huge jaws into each other's throats. I could hear a mixture of whimpers and growls, it was chaos and I couldn't understand what

I hadn't heard from Matthew since the other night and frankly it didn't ease my worries.The burden of carrying such a secret still weighed heavily upon me and I was constantly on edge, waiting for the next attack. I had been trying to convince myself that keeping this secret was for our future, giving up Maria's identity would only allow the Vampires to launch a mass attack on our pack in order to destroy the poison.Maria had been MIA since she revealed all she and her husband had done. Not sure if she was doing alright, I decided to pay her a visit, curiosity getting the better of me.Knocking on the door I jumped when someone immediately shouted. "Go away!" I thought about leaving, but I needed to know how she was doing, so I knocked again.

I'm Jaxon, Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, the strongest and most dominant pack in the world. Yet I can't seem to display such qualities to my own pack. I haven't been focused lately and the steadfast mindset I once had is now wavering. All because of one girl, my mate, Felicity Stone. Since I could remember, my parents have taught me the importance of a mate, the unbreakable bond created between two single souls. I always envisioned the mate bond as the most beautiful and precious thing the moon goddess could give two people and the thought of breaking such a gift was unthinkable. But Felicity's words, they bothered me more than I thought they would, to the point that it even effected my responsibilities as an Alpha. I waited a few days, exercised and worked twice as much, hoping to rid her soft voice from my ear to no avail. Felicity was right, I was with someone before I met her and I mercilessly ended it because I thought that was how it was supposed to be once you've found

Being Luna while the Alpha was away came with so many responsibilities. I had to attend all the meetings concerning the upcoming war with the vampires and trust me, there was a lot.It's been exactly a week since Jax left and he still isn't back. I don't understand how an Alpha can just pack his bags and leave his pack unattended. He knows that the vampires have been targeting us, however he still chooses to leave. Alpha of the year everybody!Training with Derek has intensified, its now been bumped to twice a day for two hours instead of one. Even though Jax isn't here, he still thinks he can send Derek little messages telling me what I can and cannot do.I've improved a lot, I now spend more time on my feet than on my back. Derek has noticed to, as he no longer spends his time constantly on his feet. On frequent occasions, I've been able to knock him down.We were about to start our last spar of the day. I watched Derek get up - after I had tackled him
