I sweep Anna, my niece, into my arms as she just as her soft sobs erupt in my room, "Now, Now, Lovebug. No need to Cry Aunty is here..." I coo as she puckers her quivering lip and blinks her teary eyes at me as I quickly make my way downstairs to the kitchen. I place her in her bouncy seat that Ian set up on the dining room table a few days ago, I switch on the small mobile to distract her for a little while, while I get her bottle warmed and ready for feeding. I place the ready-made bottle into a mug of hot water while watching my month-year-old niece stare at the turning wolve shapes dangling above her with a sad smile. It has been a rough month for her, for the entire clan, as the Lzzy was diagnosed with postpartum depression a week after Anna's birth after she refused to hold, look or even feed her. So I stepped in to fill in the role that Lzzy couldn't bring herself to do, while still doing my honors and helping my brothers gather information from an underground spy group th

I took Anna out for our daily walk around the territory, She was bubbling and gaggling happily as I conversed with a few pack members that were curious and worried about Octavia's condition after Ruby put her on bed rest a few days ago. Now we all have shifts to take care of her and give her company. I walked to the lake, a picnic area where a lot of teenage wolves and families went too, socializing was a big part of the pack to create a close bond, and exposing Anna to more people would help her in the future went she took over the pack. I settled us on the ground and placed her on the ground as she watched a few shifted wolves shift and jump in the play in the water. I smiled at the scene and took a deep calming breath when I smelt that citrus ice scent. I turned in the direction of the smell and raised my brows in surprise as I saw Emanuel relaxing on the tree, staring at me and Anna while he ate an apple casually. I blinked rapidly wondering if I was imagining it when I realiz

I was sprayed with something before they tied my hands together and dragged me out of my home. I looked behind me to catch a glimpse of Anna but Yoni grabbed my hair and pushed my head forward roughly as I bumped into Jackson's back who turned around to look at us with what I presumed was a frown. "If you scream or try to escape... we will come back here and silt that bitches throat and then kill that baby who seems to care about so much." Jackson threatened and pulled me hard to him, clutching my face and smirking at my terrified eyes. "Good Girl." He chuckled before pulling us to the tree line and out of the territory. I looked around wondering where all the warriors were all the warriors on duty and how come nobody including myself smelt these two who waltzed not just into the pack but into the Alpha's home so easily. I swallow as Yoni shoved me hard against a tree trunk and land face-first on a thick root on the ground. I swore as Jackson tugged my hands and I was awkwardly

Alex POV: I stare in amusement between the twelve-year-old girl and the thirteen-year-old boy, who were in a middle of an argument in my office. She was the Heir to the throne but you wouldn't guess that from her small stature, humbleness, and fiery personality which took nothing away from her beauty and striking sliver blue hair. "Mia, you can't just go around punching people!" Isaac her best friend shouts and the probable heir to the Assriyan Pack "Collen is not people! He is a pompous ass, who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut!" She shouts annoyed crossing her arm over her chest as Isaac looks down at her in annoyance but I could see the pride that shone in his eyes. "Isaac with all due respect, She is right..." I say amused and He grunts wagging his finger at me "Don't encourage her Alpha Alex. She needs to remember that as heir she is supposed to behave more ladylike." he says and I pick my hand up in surrender knowing full well that these two, as well as her Uncle, wer

Alex pov We all stare at the teenagers as a guard in charge of protecting Emi drags in the filthy Vampire, Emanuel, right behind them. I had reason to believe that Emanuel has been hunting my ... imprintee? Mate?... my Emi.. for a while, and somehow managed to stay out of my reach, he even escaped my best warriors, but not anymore, i was going to wring his damn neck especially if I find out he is behind her kidnapping. "Patrick, Leave." I growled at the guard who immediately leaves closing the door behind him. "Alex. Stand. down." Isaac says through clenched teeth pulling Emanuel to the table and helping him into the chair as Mia takes a seat next to him. "Emanuel, Good to see you." his majesty says politely and I cant help the threatening growl erupting from me as the royals eye me with arched brows."Alex..." Isaac says shaking his head "Where is my sister, you blood sucker-" Thomas shouts from across the table and Mia arches her brow. "Blood sucker? oh vampire..." Mia says am
