Axel’s pov I woke up and got some breakfast, usually Amber and Elias were up around this time too. I ask some of the kitchen staff and they hadn’t seen either of them. They were both probably still sleeping, I would wake Elias up myself and let Amber sleep in. When I went inside Elias’ room the bed was empty. I started to panic and rushed to Amber’s room to wake her up to help me find Elias. I entered her room and saw the both waking up in her bed, confused by my sudden arrival. They both looked adorable though, with their sleepy eyes staring at me. I explained what happened and helped Elias get ready for today, picking an outfit for the ceremony. I knew Amber had bought another outfit for the party, so I picked the first shirt I could find and some black trousers. He looked so cute, dressed up like a little gentleman. We had a really nice morning together and after lunch we went to area where the ceremony would start. I wanted to make a speech that would explain everything and le

Axel’s pov It feels like everyone has gotten used to Elias and Amber in our pack. Elias has been going to school and he has loved it so far, I pick him up every Wednesday afternoon for some father-son time. I found him a psychologist that specializes in loss to talk with once a week, with Amber’s approval of course. Speaking of Amber, things with Amber have been great. I couldn’t wait for the full moon, only a few days left. She spends almost every night in my bed and it’s becoming harder and harder to control myself, no pun intended. I am so lucky to have both her and Elias in my life and I thank the Goddess for them every night. If kissing her feels this great, I can’t imagine what it would feel to make love to her again. Mofran will arrive this week and will join the others in prison. We will start the trial in a few weeks, giving him time to find a layer. Amber’s mother will be one of the other’s that will be charged with treason. I told Amber we could banish her mother instead o

Amber’s pov I woke up feeling anxious, excited and a bit horny, but they didn’t feel like my own emotions. "Those aren’t your feelings, they’re Axel’s. You have his mark now and will feel what he is feeling," Ripley told me. "Well, I’m glad I didn’t mark him yet before I absorbed the full moon. I would have felt so guilty if Axel shared that pain," I replied. "No, honey that’s what mates are for. To share the good and the bad. This way you always know if the other one is safe," Ripley explained. Axel would leave soon, but we wanted to share our happy news with Elias first. Especially now that I was marked. I turned to face Axel, who looked at me in disbelief. "It’s real, we’re mates. You’re mine," he said. "Can I see your mark?" He pulled me close and softly turned my head to the side. "O that’s cool! It’s a red moon with a wolf." I hadn’t even checked myself in the mirror, so I stood up walked to the mirror. It did look really nice, it was already healed and reminded me of t

Axel’s pov I rushed home, still not confinced everything was fine. Talking to Maria had calmed me down a bit, but I still wanted to see Amber and Elias with my own eyes. When I got home I quickly ran to my room, she was my mate now, so I assumed she would be in my bed from now on. But the bed was empty, I bolted out of my room and into Amber’s room finding her bed empty as well. I feared for Elias and I ran at full tilt to his room, which was empty also. I mindlinked Maria again, but there was no answer, so I checked the room she shared with Logan. I mindlinked the pack telling them. "My son Elias and mate Amber are missing, along with Beta’s mate Maria. If you have seen them please contact me. Keep an eye out for them. Can my Gamma and security come to my office asap." I contacted Logan privately telling him what had happened and if he could sense if anything was up with Maria. He told me he wasn’t able to mindlink her, but had not felt their band break or any sign of danger. When

Amber’s pov I woke up in complete darkness and started to freak out. Where was Elias, where was I and what the hell happened last night? Was Maria okay or did she did this? I started to yel,l "hello?! Can anyone here me? Elias are you here?" But no one replied. I tried to mindlink Axel, but I couldn’t. I felt so weak and why wasn’t Ripley there? I was lying in a bed, I carefully got up and tried to feel the room around me. I could feel walls around me, a bed and a toilet and a small sink. I saw a tiny red light from coming from the ceiling. I don’t know how long I spend in the darkness, but suddenly I saw some light. It looked like a door opened and then some people came in. I was standing up, ready for battle. But no one came in my room, I could see more now. I wasn’t in a room, but in a cell made from glass walls. And the bed wasn’t a simple bed, but looked more like a hospital bed. The people that entered were wearing gas masks and were carrying a men to a cell next to me. I t
