Alpha Rick's POVAs I clinked my glass with Barbara's, I couldn't help but feel a sense of elation. Melina was finally mine again!! And it is all thanks to Barbara's cunning plan.I raised my glass to her, "You know, Barbara, I couldn't have done this without you. She's been in there for days now."She smiled back at me, a twinkle in her eye. "It was nothing, Rick. I'm just glad I could be of help."We both laughed, relishing in the moment. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt so alive. The feeling of power was intoxicating, and I couldn't get enough of it.But as we were in the midst of our celebration, Eric walked in, and the expression on his face was serious. "Boss, we have a problem," he said, and my elation quickly turned to concern."What is it?" I asked, my heart racing."Alpha Dwane is still looking for Melissa, but so far he's been unsuccessful for three days now."I felt a pang of uncertainty as I thought of what to say.But then Barbara spoke up, "Well, that's not

Alpha Dwane's POVI approached Seer Freya's humble abode, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't take it anymore, the uncertainty of not knowing where my beloved Melina was. I needed answers, and I needed them now.As I entered her cottage, I could feel her powerful aura wash over me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. If anyone could find Melina, I was certain that it was Seer Freya."Alpha Dwane," she said, her voice low and soothing. "What brings you to my doorstep again?"I took a deep breath and met her gaze. "Seer Freya, I need your help. I can't go on like this. I need to find Melina, and I need to find her soon."Seer Freya nodded her head slowly, her piercing blue eyes meeting mine. "I understand your pain, Alpha Dwane. But you must understand that finding Melina's location is not an easy task. I have been searching for her, but she seems to have vanished into thin air."I felt frustration and anger boiling inside of me, and I couldn't help but lash out. "You

Melina's POVAs I watched Alpha Rick leave the cell, worry and anger filled me. How could he do this to me? How could he help that evil Gamma called Barbara to take away my position as Luna? I couldn't believe it and I was beyond pissed.I felt the need to pray to the Moon Goddess for help, to guide me through this dark time because I was losing my mind.As I closed my eyes and prayed, a voice suddenly spoke to me from nowhere. It was calm, soothing, and yet commanding. "Melina, stand up and get yourself out of here immediately."I opened my eyes. I was confused, wondering if I was truly losing my mind, but my wolf nudged me, urging me to move. Without thinking, I got up, my heart pounding in my chest.I closed my eyes again, praying one more time to the Moon Goddess, then I tried to perform some magic. But nothing happened. I tried again and again, my frustration growing. But still, the magic refused to work.I felt defeated and sat down, with tears streaming down my face.My wolf,

Melina's POVAs I stood alone in my room, I closed my eyes and concentrated, feeling the power within me pulsing and surging. It was like an electric current running through my veins, a force that I had always sensed but never fully understood. But now, I was starting to understand it, to control it, and to use it to my advantage.I was so engrossed in my practice that I didn't hear the door open, and it was only when I heard Beta Aren clearing his throat that I turned around, startled.My heart was pounding in my chest as I saw him standing there, his eyes fixed on me with a mixture of curiosity and surprise."Melina," he said, his voice low and cautious. "What are you doing?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to explain it to him. But then I took a deep breath and replied, "I'm practicing. I'm trying to work on my powers."Beta Aren's expression softened slightly, and he nodded. "I see," he said. "Well, you're certainly making progress. But there's something else I need to te

MELINA’S POVTo say that I was elated was an understatement. If there is anything to describe how I feel now that is more giving than being excited, I'd use it. With everything that I've gone through in my life, the suffering, maltreatment from my former mate and being spoken down to, I never expected that I would be this loved and accepted. After giving birth to our baby boy, Talon, everything has been going so smooth. Too smooth if I may add. He had always been overprotective over me even when I was not pregnant. Now that we have a child together, it has gotten to another level entirely. He hardly leaves my side. He only does when he has pack duties to attend to or probably meetings. It's been a few days after Talon ce into this world, but my body still felt weak and sore. Though, I could feel my wolf trying as much as possible to heal me internally and I was mostly healed already. My magic powers already increased immensely even though I hardly used them. It was like the power
