Astrid's POVI looked out the window of the aircraft as we landed. Who would have thought that the one place that I once couldn't wait to escape was the place that I would soon be calling home?I stole a glance at Alpha Jaxon who was holding a bundled-up Val to his chest.She looked peaceful as she slept on and as I felt my love for her leap on my heart, I couldn't help but envy her in a small way.Unlike me, she wasn't thinking of a thousand different things.Unlike me, she wasn't wondering if Alpha Jaxin had seen my almost kiss with Xavier, she wasn't trying to keep herself from thinking about her Dad so that she would fall apart.Unlike me, she wasn't worried about potentially screwing things up as a parent.The helicopter landed then Alpha Jaxon and I came down. Beta Caleb wasn't with us as he had gone on ahead with of us to get the Crimson Moon pack ready in anticipation of our welcomeThe welcome party waiting to escort us into the park house consisted of the elders who had me w

Alpha Jaxon's POVIt took everything in me to not go back to Astrid and give her the spanking that she deserved for pulling that stunt with me.I took a shower. A cold cold shower because it was all I could do to not go back out there and touch her.You can't touch her. Not yet. I reminded myself.She was still healing even if she didn't seem to mind the possibility of getting hurt, I minded.Besides, there was no way we were going to have sex without protection again. The version of me that had been so desperate to have a child that I had put her life at risk was gone.She almost died to give birth to Valerie, I couldn't risk losing her again.Was it so wrong that I wanted the next time we were intimate to be more than just sex?I was dressed and about to head to my office when there was a knock on the door.It was Caleb.Before he even spoke, I already guessed what he wanted to say from the sombre expression on

Alpha Jaxon's POVI didn't tell Astrid the reality of this war.I didn't tell her about the stench of death that I woke up to. The blood, the pyres that never stopped burning and the senseless endless death.Astrid not coming here with me was without a doubt, the best decision I had ever made.The vampires fought to injure or maim us with obscene speed knowing that now we feared injuries as much as we did death blows hence why we opted for large-range weapons like swords, bows and fire bombs instead of just our claws now.But even with my intense strategy, it was still a numbers game. A game that we were slowly losing.The explosion rocked the earth and the last of the vampires began to retreat. We had won today's fight. Only the goddess could guarantee tomorrow's win."Fall back!" I called out for my men and our allies. "Take our injured and fall back!"Where did Caleb go?This was the time we were supposed to meet so t

Astrid's POVYou see, there was something I didn't tell the Alphas about the vampire hunters.During my time in the bunker, Dad had told me about them when recounting the tales of the war.Three vicious heartless ferocious fighters who seemed to never age. Some said that they were bigger monsters than the vampires.I guess I would find out.I headed out trying to push away my father's cautionary words from my head but I couldn't.The vampire hunters had promised him help but at the moment when he needed them the most, they didn't show up.If they failed me this time as they had my father before me, then we were as good as dead."Princess." Elder Gideon seemed shocked to see me at the door of his house.Admittedly, it was a rare occurrence for me to be there at all. I always tried to keep a very professional relationship with the Elders before they could think to question my authority as a woman leading their pack"I need you to look after the pack for me in my absence," I said going s

Alpha Jaxon's POVFor Caleb.That's what I said within myself for every swing of my blade that cut down a vampire.Today's battle felt different whether that was because of my resolve to get rid of as many vampires as possible or because of something else.It didn't matter though.I beheaded the vampire heading right towards me in one fell swoop even as the frontlines of the vampires pushed against the werewolves."Hold the line!" I called out both in person for my allies and through the pack link for my pack members.We were on equal ground today due to the terrain so if we let their considerably larger force get through our front line, they would crush us regardless of how hard I fought.It was, to be very simply put, a numbers game.My frontline held and the battle thickened.I trode forward, step by step with enemies and friends alike at my side clashing and dying in different forms.From wolf to partial shift, to human and vampire form, they fought and the field ran red with bloo
