Klaus PoVJust when I thought I could finally relax and enjoy being Alpha to the pack, spend time with my pregnant wife, and just generally enjoy my life, the moon goddess has dropped another trouble in my laps.I knew it was harsh to refer to Lisa as trouble, but that was the truth. She was the one that set in motion the chain of events that led to the showdown between Axel and I. I’d helped her before, and it almost cost me everything. Lisa came with a lot of baggage. There was the prophecy riding on her back, and there was Maximo relentlessly searching for her. And I do not want to make Maximo my enemy. That would be the dumbest move ever. I became Alpha two days ago, and I’m thrusting my pack into the hands of a powerful megalomaniac.Every ounce of logic in my body screamed at me to send her back to wherever she came, conscious or unconscious. It was the only way to stay out of the Maximo’s crosshairs. Which was a terrible place to be. It was the only to keep my pack safe.Then

Lisa PoV“You’ll suffer,” Maximo’s voice resounded in my head.His voice, as always, reeked of hatred and anger. The hatred in his voice clearly reflected in his eyes as he came into view. His veins popped off his body and pulsated as anger flared through him. His eyes slid between that of a wolf’s and that of a man. It was terrifying and unnerving.I didn’t understand. I thought I got away. I thought I ran away from his deathly grip and fled into the forest. How did I end up back there? It has to be an illusion. I would rather die than go back there. I wouldn’t go back. How?“You think you can get away from me, huh?” he sneered as though he’d read my mind, “you think you can escape your fate?”Fear and dread simmered within me, filtering through every part of me until I was shaking with fear. Goosebumps grew and sprouted, and the hair on my body all seemed to become erect all at once. It was unimaginable that I would end up there. I couldn’t believe it. I’d almost lost my life runnin

Aurora PoVIt’s funny how life can send you crashing one down to the deepest pit just when one’s soaring high in the clouds a few seconds ago.A few seconds ago, I was absolutely ecstatic. Klaus was Alpha, which made me the Luna. And while Klaus was already performing his Alpha duties, I was keen on starting my Luna duties. The plan was to go round the pack encouraging the pack and trying to get them to look to a better future. But what type of Luna would I be if I abandoned my husband to tend to the pack. So I’d woken up early to prepare Alpha’s favorite meal. I wanted to serve his food on the dining table so he’d come out to eat, but I knew Klaus might stay locked in that study all day without eating.And I decided to take his food to the study. The door was locked but there was a spare key. I expected to find my husband hunched over the table, neck buried in papers and files. But what did I find instead?Klaus was hunched against a girl, and his lips was locked against hers.A pow

Klaus PoVI’d never seen Aurora so hurt and angry before. And it broke my heart that I was the cause of it. I never imagined that I could possibly cause Aurora pain. After all, she was the same woman I would happily give my life for. The same woman whom I always placed her happiness above mine.“Please, Aurora,” I tried to calm her down after I’d wrenched Lisa from her arms and she’d turned on me, “please calm down.”“Calm down?” she screeched, “so you can go after her?”“Aurora, please,” I wheezed, “you’re my wife. The woman I love so much. I could never go after another woman. Please, Aurora, you’re carrying our baby. Calm down.”The mention of the baby seemed to do the trick, and Aurora dissolved into tears. It took almost forever with loads of words of assurance of my love to her before she finally sobbing. And when she did, she immediately fell asleep.She’d expended all her energy and fatigue had caught up to her, though I suspected the sleep was induced by emotional stress and

Klaus PoVLike I suspected, I was a prisoner veiled as a guest. Maximo just needs evidence to change my status from guest to prisoner. And it was evident in our running position to Lupo pack.We were all in wolf forms as we ran to Lupo pack. Jack took the lead, I came second, and the guards took the rear. Even if I wanted to escape, it was impossible. I didn’t have time to admire their wolf forms. Rather, I was meditating on my own fate. If Maximo suspects anything, this could very well be the end. I worked on my poker face to keep my face calm and sublime no matter the questions he threw at me. The journey to Lupo pack was short and we morphed back into human form when we crossed the territory.Since the last time I was here, Yellowstone territory had undergone a massive change. The last time I came here, the atmosphere reeked of illegal mining, environmental corruption, pain, suffering, hunger, and death. But now, it was as if the whole place underwent a massive makeover. There we
