Aura’s POVI was happy to be inside again. The fading scent of my mate made me sad as I inhaled remembering how much my life had changed when I woke up here. I quietly made my way down the hall, I stopped at the door. I pressed my ear against it trying to hear if there was anyone outside, I couldn’t hear anything. Slowly I turned the nob, I peered out through the crack, but nobody. I opened the door enough to squeak through. I stepped out into the hall. It was strange to be here without him. I could see some pack members as they moved about. I had to get to Valerie without being seen. I looked around, there were statues of various wolves and other things around the hallways. I snuck to the closest statue, I peered around it looking for anyone who could have seen me. Nothing. I did the same with the next statue, once again, nobody seemed to notice. I went down the hall till I could see over the balcony where they were keeping Valerie. I crept quietly towards the hall., I jumped down fr

Draven’s POVI hate this, I want to be with my Aura. Trudging through a swamp looking for more enemies, my mind went back to my love. I hope she is staying safe, the guards I posted to watch over her are as loyal as they come. I pulled my thoughts back not allowing myself to think too much, I know she is safe, she has to be. A big wolf with a scar across his eye jumped out snarling at me. I held my sword, he lunged hoping to grab my throat. I swung my sword in one swift movement cutting his head from his body. I watched as he dropped. I looked around sniffing the air for any other scents. It was too quiet; I knew it was only a matter of time before a new battle replaced the last. I watched the trees, brush, and anywhere else wolves could lie in wait. I knew there could be a wolf nearby. Every sound, every leaf blowing in the gentle breeze could mean death.“Alpha, there is a group of wolves coming this way,” Delmor’s voice rang through the link. “It seems to be about fifty.”I readied

Hudson POV We had been searching for hours. Valerie had discovered Aura was gone when she went to check on her. How could she have gotten so far so fast? She is very pregnant; how could she have the energy to make it that far? I turned down another trail as I followed her scent. Valerie was ahead of me, she stopped before sniffing the ground. I watched as she shifted.“There are two more scents mixed with hers, I think Karn has her.” Her face paled as the words left her mouth.“No, he couldn’t get to her that easily. She hasn’t even been gone for that long,” I tried to believe my own words. If something happens to the queen, it will be our fault. I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves, the Queen will live, she has to.“Hudson, I think we need to tell them what happened, we need help,” Valerie’s face was sullen.“I agree, we have to go to Draven, he is the only one who can help us,” I could feel the bile ris

Karn’s POV“How can she be gone?” I roared at my warriors. “She was sedated! You’re telling me you can’t keep track of a tiny little SEDATED she-wolf?” How stupid can they be? My warriors coward in fear, they had ruined my plan. The doctor was going to do a c-section and then once that was finished, I was going to have my way with Aura. I knew it would take a little while for her to heal but after that, I would impregnate her, and we would welcome our pup into the world together. Now, thanks to the idiots I have to get her back again.“Alpha, we are sorry, they attacked us. It wasn’t like it was only a couple of wolves, there was a ton of them, and,” his voice trailed off.“And what!” I snarled.The warrior coward again, “Alpha Draven was leading them.”“That’s impossible, you told me he was dead.” I could feel my wolf wanting to take control, he wanted to kill all of them on the spot.“We, we, we knew he was dead, I watched him bleeding out.” My warriors stammered.“Did you watch him

Aura’s POVI felt another pain coming, the doctor was sitting by my feet waiting for the first head of my pups.“Aura, push with this contraction, I will count down. Five, four, three, two, one, push!” he said as I pushed with all of my strength trying to expel my pups from my body.“Almost, I saw the top of a head, one more time, are you ready?” he asked.I didn’t bother to answer, I was so tired. I have to do this twice, I sucked in a breath as another contraction began its climb. I pushed hard this time knowing my wolf was helping as best as she could. This time, I heard a baby cry, it was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. Tears fell from my eyes, not from the pain, but from the love I felt for this tiny little life.“Congratulations, Luna, and Alpha, you have a son!” the doctor exclaimed as he handed my son to a nurse. Draven was looking over to watch what they were doing with our son. He looked back at me, and I was surprised to see the tears trickle down his face.“Aura
