CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR(3)

Alaia POVAt 1:30 on the dot, Sophie ran into the common room, wearing a massive smile on her chubby little face. “Hi, Luna, are you ready to play with me?” she asked. “I sure am, Sophie.”I reached down to give her a quick hug before I took her hand and led her to a small table I had set up in the corner. I looked up to see Xander and Cassie enter the room from different directions; both were focused on Sophie and me. “Oh, Alpha. My name is Cassie Stewart. Thank you for allowing Sophie and me into your home today. She was so excited when she met the Luna last night.”“You’re very welcome, Cassie. Our Luna just has that effect on people. I’ll have to get used to sharing her more often.”Sophie looked up from the table of goodies before her and shyly glanced over at Xander. She gently tugged my sleeve, asking me to lean down closer to her when she whispered, “He’s so big. Is he nice?”I smiled down at her worried little face and said, “Yes, he’s very nice. I promise. Go and sa

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE | WE HAVE TO GO BACK

Alaia POVI slowly began to get into a routine with my new pack, and before I knew it, it was the day of the full moon. The Blue Moon pack was planning a big dinner and would end the night with a pack run. The dinner wasn't something done at every full moon, but because it was my first with them, Xander wanted to make it special.I was taking a walk through the gardens around the house when my phone rang, pulling me from my thoughts. I checked the screen and saw my favorite picture of Jordyn and me on the caller ID. I didn’t realize I had missed her so much until I answered the call and immediately screamed into the receiver. “ALAIA? What’s wrong? Are you alright?! Aaron, get in here now! We’ve got to get to the Blue-”“Jordyn, calm down, I’m fine. I was just so excited that you called. I’ve missed you guys so-”“What. The. ACTUAL. FUCK ALAIA?! Why would you do that to me? My nerves are already bad enough with my fucking Luna ceremony tonight, and then you pull some shit like t

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE(2)

Xander POVGo home? This was her home now. She was a week away from officially being named my Luna, and she wanted to go back?“What do you mean, ‘Go home’? Your home is right here, Alaia. This is not an extended slumber party, and we are not just two people dating who occasionally sleepover at each other’s place. You are my mate, and this packs Luna, so please explain to me why you now want to leave me, to leave us.”I felt like my heart was breaking; what had happened that made her change her mind about us? If it were Francesca, I’d peel her skin from her bones without a second thought. Alaia shook her head frantically before answering.“No! That’s not what I meant; I’d never leave you, Xander. And I’d never leave our pack. I just need to go back to Opal Moon for the Alpha ceremony tonight. Aaron and Jordyn need me, and I need to be there for them. I know that this is my home now, and I love it here. I’m so sorry for my poor word choice earlier.”I heaved a sigh of relief. Al

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX | THE AMETHYST WOLF

Xander POVAn Amethyst wolf? What was he talking about, and why had I never heard of this before? I needed to know everything he knew, but I had to get Alaia in a safe place first. My prayers were answered when Jordyn spoke up.“Alaia, come up and help me decide on what I’m wearing tonight. You can bring your stuff too, and we can get ready together. Bring your sexy guards along; they can just wait in the seating area of the dressing room.”Perfect. We made our way up to the dressing room, and Matt went in first to secure the area. Once clear, I escorted the ladies in and locked the door behind us. Matt and I took our designated seats while Jordyn and Alaia began their search for the perfect dress. It was time for him to fill me in. Okay, Matt, can you explain to me what an Amethyst wolf is and why you think Alaia may be one?Well, I’m not 100% sure, but I’ve heard stories before, and this all just seems to fit. I’m listening. Once every thousand years, a particular set of tw

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN | RISE OF A NEW ALPHA

Alaia POVWhen Dad and Aaron asked me to join them, I was confused. But Amethyst urged me to step forward, so I did. I somehow knew that I needed to shift with my twin; now was my time. It was our time. When I took his hand, the power that moved through us was incredible, and it confirmed that this was where I needed to be. As I began to shift, I expected to feel extreme amounts of pain, but all I felt was warmth. I allowed Amethyst to take control, thus making me a spectator in my own body. I closed my eyes and bent down to the ground, letting the warmth cover me completely. When it was all over, I looked up and saw a beautiful gray wolf standing where Aaron previously stood. As any Alpha would be, Aaron’s wolf was much larger than the average, but there was also an aura of power emanating from him. He was going to be a strong and fierce leader. After a few moments, I noticed that Aaron was staring back at me, like really staring. I looked around and saw that everyone had their

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN(2)

Alaia POVAn hour later, the pack returned to the house, ready to welcome their new Alpha and Luna. My parents stood on the left side of the stage with Aaron and Jordyn on the right. Elder Lewis stepped between the four of them and held up the Alpha's chalice. “As has been our tradition since the beginning of our time, we will see the passing of the Alpha title from one to another. Aaron Miller, firstborn son of Alpha Jonathon Miller of the Opal Moon pack, please step forward. Alpha Jonathon Miller, of the Opal Moon Pack, please step forward as well.”Aaron and my dad stepped forward, facing one another. “Jonathon Miller, the power of the Alpha flows through your veins, as was passed to your father by his father before him and his father before him, stretching back to the very first werewolf. Are you now ready to pass that power to your son?”Dad's voice broke, and I saw that he had unshed tears in his eyes. He looked at Aaron with so much pride; I was so happy I was here to witne

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT | INNOCENCE LOST

Unknown POVWhen the young omega walked into my chambers, I could smell her fear. It was oozing from her pores and, to me, smelled like the sweetest treat. “Did you do what I asked of you?” I commanded, making her small body tremble. “Yes, I placed the poison in her drink,” she replied, so weak and timid. “AND?!”“Sh-she didn’t drink it, mistress.”“What do you mean she didn’t drink it? Why the fuck not?!”I flew into a rage, and before I knew it, my hand was wrapped around the omega's small, frail neck, and I was lifting her in the air. Her eyes began to bulge from their sockets as she scraped her brittle nails across my skin, begging me to release her. “She p-picked up the g-glass but then her eyes...they turned violet! The bracelet she was wearing began to glow!”What? What was happening? I dropped the omega and took a step back from her disgusting body. “What else happened?”She gulped for air before she replied, “Her mate...he knocked her glass to the ground and spilled

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT(2)

Alaia POVI must have fallen asleep on the car ride because I woke to find myself cradled in Xander’s lap while he gently undressed me. We were sitting in the sitting area of our room. Moonlight streamed through the window and caressed his beautiful face. I lifted a hand and ran it through his silky black curls, causing him to look down at me. “Go back to sleep, Little One. It’s been a long day, and you need your rest.”I grabbed a handful of those curls and pulled his face down to mine. “I just need you, Xander...please.”He looked into my eyes for a moment longer before he captured my lips in a beautifully passionate kiss. Xander nipped at my bottom lip, causing my mouth to open with a sharp gasp. He then took advantage of this and swiped his tongue inside, tasting everything I was. And allowing me to taste him as well. I started to fumble at the buttons of his shirt; I needed to feel his skin against mine, urgently. When my fingers didn’t move fast enough, I ripped the shirt o

TWENTY-NINE | ALASTAIR

Xander POV“Xander...Innocence.”My eyes snapped open, and immediately the fog and haze cleared out. What the fuck had I done? I had lost control to the point where Alaia felt the need to use her safe word. I never wanted that to happen.I wanted her to experience pleasures unknown when she was with me, and I failed. I couldn’t believe I had let myself become so weak. I had snapped and lost control, and Alaia was caught in the crossfire. I stared down at her, utterly slack in my arms. She had passed out, and I hadn’t even realized that I had pushed her that far. I looked at the sickly black and blue bruises on her perfect hips; I could almost see my fingerprints in them. I had dug my nails into her flawless brown skin and drawn blood. I couldn’t believe I had done this. I carried her tiny body in my arms and walked into the bathroom before slowly lowering her into the bathtub. Once she was safely positioned, I opened the faucet and filled the tub with warm, soapy water. When it

TWENTY-NINE(2)

Alaia POVXander closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths through his nose. When his eyes snapped back open, they were once again deep pools of ebony. “MINE,” He growled while wrapping his arms tightly around my waist and pulling me closer to his chest. He then buried his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply. “My mate, you’re so beautiful.”He stuck out his tongue and ran it over my mark, sending chills down my spine. “H-hello,” I got out. He looked into my eyes and said, “YOU. ARE. MINE.”“Yes, I’m yours. Yours and Xander’s. What is your name?”He again buried his head in my neck when I heard him say, “I am Alastair.”He began to slowly rotate my hips, grinding me against his slowly growing bulge. I knew that I had to stop this, and fast, because my body was already starting to abort the mission at hand. I pulled his head back so that we were once again looking at each other eye to eye. “It’s nice to meet you, Alastair. Would you do something for me?”“I’d do an
