Chapter 1

“Mine,” Dante growls from beside his father, beginning to move. Towards the centre of the shifting circle.“No, No, No.” Aretha’s eyes widened as she stiffened at his voice. After years of his bullying her, she wasn’t sure what his endgame was this time, and she wasn’t sticking around to find out.She bolts, leaving the man who just claimed her in front of the whole pack just standing there.His face went pale with shock; he didn’t know what to do. Should he go after her? Should he just wait till she calms down and comes back to the packhouse and try talking to her in the morning?“What did you expect her to do? What, run into your arms? After you've been an asshole for years since you became step-siblings-. Both of your fathers signed a mating contract at her birth, yes, but she never asked for that, just as much as you hadn’t.” The voice paused, before continuing, “But to find out the guy who has made her life hell since her mother mated with your father to join the packs together a

“Looks like a stupid dog that still doesn’t know her place among this pack,” Fawn smirked.Aretha paused her playing, “I don’t know what you mean. I always play on my birthday as I used to in Moon’s River for my father. This part of the packhouse is off limits. Why are you three here?”“Interesting, I don’t recall allowing you bitch to have such hobbies.” Fawn just raised an eyebrow.The three girls’ faces went pale as the video continued to play. One of them, Rosa, raced to get in front of the screen as it continued to play. Dante, however, had gone a sickly white. He had believed all three of them over Aretha over and over again.“That’s not how it happened,” Rosa screeched, “It’s been taken out of context.”“Interesting, you say so, young Rosa,” Delta Leon said clearly, “because we found this doing a random sweep of the cameras, and in a part of the packhouse that is meant to be for family only. Care to explain why you three went into the space of the packhouse that isn’t for gener

-Well then, this is going to get interesting because the pull is getting stronger.- Midnight pointed out, -Her scent is stronger here, too? Why is this far from the packhouse? What would make her come here?--We must be coming up to the old border between the packlands.- Dante said, -Not sure why she’d come out this far, though, to the best of my knowledge, she hasn’t been out this way in years.--Wait, something’s off. I don’t like this. I don’t hear anything?--Midnight, what do you mean you don’t hear anything? You said that you could smell her nearby?- Panic now flows through his thoughts.-No, she’s here. I can hear a heartbeat, but no crying, which I would have expected. She should be crying.--We need to get to her now, Midnight now.--We’re close now, Romeo, but still we should shift back. She might not take it well if she sees me over you, even though I’m less of an ass. I tried to stop you, I tried to tell you.--Ok, ok, I get it, I fucked up, ok, Midnight. I’m still trying

Chapter 4

Because my brother, your uncle Nigel, had told me he had explained it all to you, but that also seems to have been a lie. We have a lot of investigating to do. However, not now, once your mate is better, she is more important than that right now.Yes, Father, she definitely is, but if someone starts talking, I want updates. I won’t let them hurt her anymore. I…I didn’t mean to hurt her; I thought it was being made as a trade to get the land I had to mate with Aretha. I didn’t know she was once the daughter of an Alpha I…I was told that her mother was a gold digger, and well, that meant that Aretha would be just like her mother. That her mother was given the title of Luna to make sure the pack had a leader, and you just got sucked into mating with her because her mother had passed.Who told you a lie like that?Elder Gillian said that your mating with my stepmother would damage our bloodline. I’m not sure how she feels about my half-siblings, Lola and Otto. But what could she say? But

Chapter 5

‘Why would anyone break her flute? Up until now, and not even an hour ago, had I known where it had come from? Let alone her late father and Alpha. But then she rarely spoke about anything unless she was begging me to look at the camera footage.’-Which means someone knew what it meant to Aretha, what it meant to the Moon’s River pack, and most of all, the effect it had on us when she played it.- Midnight rumble in Dante’s mind as he paced under the skin.“Thank the Goddess you're both alright and you found her,” Came a voice in the darkness, just a bit farther along the dark of night towards that packhouse, maybe about a minute's walk from where he sat, Aretha cradled in his arms.“Show yourself,” Dante growled, his voice more wolf than man.Now, nothing and no one was going to come between him and his mate, who was still unconscious in his arms.Oscar came out of the shadows with his hands raised into the air to show Dante that he had no intentions to harm either of them.“Easy, man

Chapter 6

“Dante, Aretha!” Cried Lola as she ran from the open doors of the packhouse.“Easy, little wolf, your sister is still asleep.” Oscar said, trying not to scare her, “Your big brother has been through hell and back as well. Let's get them inside; the healers are meant to be waiting for them.”Although she was only six, Lola’s eyes widened at Dante’s grip on Aretha. She had never seen him go near her, let alone touch her, before. Otto at seven, just inside the door, watching, confusion clouding his young face.“Father, they’re back,” Otto sang out.As the Alpha and Luna walked towards the door, the healers rushed forward with a wheelchair for Dante and a stretcher for Aretha. Midnight’s eyes flashed through for a second as Dante saw that he would have to put Aretha down, his own fatigue fighting with the need to stay close to his mate.“Easy Alpha Heir, everything is going to be ok, you’ll be right next to her the whole way.” Said the head healer with her hands in the air. Nicolette mov

Chapter 7

Oscar paused, not sure how much he should say. This was complicated in ways he wasn’t sure how best to answer it: “Only time will tell how things play out, but whatever happens now is between them.”Oscar prayed that, while in that room, they would complete the bond with the mating and marking, proving what he had always seen, the love that they both tried so hard to run away from, but now on lockdown, there was nowhere to hide any longer. But he knew he couldn’t speak that way.The Alpha and Luna nodded at Oscar’s words, “Yes, little ones, it's all up to them now, but for now, it's time for us to leave them to rest and us getting some as well. There isn’t anything more that we can do here tonight.”Meanwhile, behind the doors of their mate suite of the infirmary, where Dante could hear the footsteps of the rest of the Alpha family slowly move away from the doors of their room.He watched as the six healers moved around Aretha, checking her for injuries and wounds while running tests.

Chapter 8

-I know, but we need to be careful.- Dante replied, watching the steady rise and fall of Aretha's chest.In her unconscious state, Aretha's mind was a whirlwind of memories. Her wolf, Holly, was trying desperately to reach her, to pull her back to consciousness.-He's here, our mate is here!- Holly called through the darkness of Aretha's mind. -You need to wake up.-But Aretha remained trapped in her exhaustion, her body refusing to respond despite Holly's efforts. Deep in her subconscious, she was still at her father's grave, talking to him about everything that had happened.The night stretched on, and Dante found himself unable to sleep despite his own exhaustion. Every time Aretha shifted slightly or made a small noise, he was instantly alert, hoping she was waking up. He wanted, needed, to explain himself, to make her understand that everything had changed.Alpha Jarvis sat in his study, a glass of whiskey in his hand as he stared at old photographs spread across his desk. Pictur

"We see what we expect to see," she replied, crossing the room to place a comforting hand on his shoulder. "And Nigel has always been good at manipulating expectations."Oscar had made his decision. Placing the velvet box in his pocket, he left his quarters and headed toward the infirmary. The packhouse was quiet now, most members having retired after the evening's drama. As he walked, he pondered the years he'd watched his best friend deny his feelings for Aretha.There had been moments, fleeting glances, unnecessary detours past places Aretha frequented, the way Dante would subtly position himself to keep her in his line of sight during pack gatherings, that had revealed the truth to anyone paying attention. But Dante had been masterful at self-deception, and Oscar had respected his friend's boundaries, hoping he would eventually come to his senses.In the infirmary, Aretha's breathing changed, becoming slightly faster. Her eyelids fluttered, though they remained closed. Dante notic

Chapter 10

Dante moved instantly, reaching for the glass on the bedside table. With gentle hands, he helped her sit up slightly, supporting her head as she took small sips. The tenderness in his actions was so foreign to her that for a moment, Aretha wondered if she was still dreaming."Where am I?" she asked once her throat felt less like sandpaper."The mate suite in the infirmary," Dante replied softly, still holding her as if she might shatter. "You've been unconscious for hours."Reality came crashing back: the birthday celebration, Dante claiming her as his mate, her flight to her father's grave, and then... nothing. Aretha stiffened in his arms, memories of years of him treating her like she was dirt.“Uh, umm, I’m guessing you have somewhere else to be more important, Alpha Heir.” Her voice was small, “It’s ok…if you want to leave, I understand.”Dante's heart sank at her words. The resignation in her tone cut deeper than any accusation could have. After years of dismissing her, he could
