SHAILA. I had no idea how long we were in the bunker while the attack was happening. Santo reminded me before he left not to mindlink Carlos or him unless it was a matter of life and death. He explained it was a protocol for couples because mindlinks during attacks should be used only between warriors and high-ranking wolves. Any mindlink from family members means danger. I knew this. I grew up with this protocol since my father was a former warrior and now, Santo as well. But I think Santo wanted to make sure I still remembered this and not bother the Gamma based on impulse. So I stayed in the bunker with the rest of the females and pups that were assigned here. I was hoping that my parents were safe in the bunker near our home. After trying many times, I connected with my mother, and she told me she was safe and that my father had decided to fight alongside the warriors. To buy time, I helped out the females to feed their pups, who were hungry all the time, but at least it ke

CARLOS. It had been six days since I last saw Shaila. I wanted to visit her, but with everything that had been happening around the pack, I couldn’t just throw my Gamma responsibility to go after my own heart. But I was slowly losing my mind. Sergio, Shaila’s father, told me that it was Shaila who requested to visit her aunt at the Blood Moon Pack, which was more or less four hours away from her. He said the attack shook Shaila, and she didn’t want to see the ruins of the attack for now, since it was giving her anxiety. I didn’t buy her reason, but I knew Sergio wasn’t lying. That was probably what she told him. I felt Shaila was keeping something to herself. After everything we shared for the last two weeks, I fucking couldn’t understand why she made a decision without telling me. I asked Sergio if she had any messages for me, and he flatly said nothing. I wanted to tell him I was Shaila’s boyfriend, but I was sure he was already getting the idea. I just didn’t have the courage

CARLOS. "Do you think you can choose me over her?" She asked, and I could hear the pain in her voice. "Shaila… I will always choose you." I was so confused about where she got the idea that I had another female. "I don’t have another girlfriend except you. And now that I know you’re my mate, there’s no fucking way I will choose another female over you." "But Alba… will you reject her? Or did you reject her already?" She kept saying Lady Alba’s name, and it only dawned on me what was happening. "Lady Alba is Paul’s fated mate - not mine. And I’m not interested in her." "What?" Her eyes rounded and I could see the shock registering on her face. "She’s not your fated mate?" "How could you say that when you know we are mates?" "I thought you had two mates..." "One is more than enough for me. I got who I wanted." She still looked lost. Was all this because of that? She thought I was Lady Alba’s mate? "I thought you left me because I didn’t say I love you back when you told me yo

DAY OF THE LUNA CEREMONY. SHAILA. "Fuck!" Carlos’ grip on my hair tightened as he kept guiding me while I bobbed my head up and down. I was almost gagging, but I wasn’t complaining. I wanted this. I wanted all of him inside my mouth. I was kneeling on the bathroom tiled floor with the water cascading over us as drool kept dripping from the corner of my lips. We were supposed to just shower, but for some reason, we ended up in this position. I pulled his cock off my mouth with a loud pop before swiping my tongue over his tip, cleaning the pre-cum oozing from him while my hand kept jerking him off. I was about to put his hard cock inside my mouth again when his strong hands pulled me up roughly and yanked me onto his shoulder before walking out of the bathroom, and grabbing two towels with him. I pretended to struggle while giggling before he threw my body in the middle of the bed. My body was soaking wet, but I didn’t mind. I parted my legs wider and let my hand go to my core, p

DOMINIC. Another full moon, another boring night. At least before, Alpha Riley and Gamma Sebastian were still unmated, which meant I got to be their company during a full moon. We would drink ourselves until the wee hours of the morning and proceed to work the next day with just an hour or two of sleep. Life was simple. But then they got mated. Their full moons were now fully booked, leaving me alone on my own. So what’s a single man got to do? I followed the Alpha’s advice and went out, trying to ease the annoyance of being the only one left unmated residing at the packhouse. I tried to find something fun for tonight, but it was still futile. I didn’t even have an ounce of enjoyment. I got bored watching people dance too close to each other inside the bar like there was no tomorrow. There were some who approached me, but for some reason, no one looked interesting. Besides, I am not the one-night-stand type of guy. It was more of Gamma Sebastian - at least before he met Jenny. Whe
