Shannon’s POV My breath lodged in my throat as I watched him walk through the woods. The past few months had done nothing to dull the feelings that grew inside of me with each passing day, it made no sense to deny it didn’t exist anymore. My wolf pranced around with joy any time Eric sent smiles my way and I knew that he was the one for me.  It was complicated and it was one of the major reasons why I hadn’t done anything yet. We both had our demons to battle with before we faced the sizzling attraction that often hung in the air between us when we were close.  

Shannon’s POV“You’ve been hurt in the past and I understand that,” Robin began. “I don’t know the details of what happened in your previous relationship but I don’t want you not to let it shape you and determine how you see things around here.” “Eric didn’t reject me because I was ugly or deformed,” I began. “It wasn’t anything of that sort, he rejected me for a far lesser and albeit stupid reason if I might add.” “You don’t have to talk about it if it’s going to hurt you too much, Shannon,” Robin said in a calm tone. “I’ve got to make you understand and hopefully, you’ll see things the way I see it. I don’t mean any disrespect but from where you’re sitting, you aren’t seeing anything that happens beneath your eyes and in the dark.”Robin stared at me for a moment before he resigned. “You have the floor, Shannon. Let’s hear what you’ve got to say.” “I was completely in love with Eric and frankly speaking, there was nothing that I wouldn’t have done for him. At the time, my mother

Ricky’s POV A week later, my father informed us he was getting married and to top it off, we became mated to a lowly Omega wolf, Shannon.  That sparked the beginning of our outrage, mostly between myself and Jules, while Cole was acting rather differently from us. He was rather impulsive and chaotic but he had suddenly turned around and he was now a staunch supporter of our supposed destined mate, he wouldn’t stand for any slander or crude remark sent her way much to my annoyance and Jules’ as well.  “She deserves a lot more than sh

Ricky’s POV“You don’t look so well, Father.” I began as we stopped in front of the table. Our discussion could wait, his health was more paramount. “It’s nothing to concern yourselves with, boys.” My father began, coughing slightly. “You have more important things to worry about. Besides, I’m in good hands. My wife and doctors take care of me already.”“The doctor said you were getting better,” Jules began this time. “But you look far from it. You should be self-healing by now but it doesn’t seem to be happening.” “I got tired of lying in bed all day, so I threatened the doctor to discharge me else I would have his family hanged first thing tomorrow morning.” My father replied in a serious tone and I couldn’t figure out if he was calling bluff or telling the truth. But knowing the kind of man he was, I wasn’t going to leave it to chance. “These men aren’t from our pack and from the way they’re suited up, it’s almost as if you’re expecting to head into war anytime soon.” I looked

Robin’s POV“I also understood the fact that my duty came first before pleasure,” I answered. “A fact that has been lost between you and your brothers.”“The reason we failed to do this earlier is because we were patient. I’m sure that you must have gotten wind of our promiscuity but none of those women could spark the fire within any of us. We wanted to pick the best of the bunch and present her to you but we know you as a man of tradition, we don’t want to taint our legacy by birthing an unworthy heir to take after us when our time is over.”“Your actions have put me in a tight spot and I’m not pleased with any of these,” I replied grimly.Ricky resisted the urge to smirk, he was halfway into convincing his father to overturn his threat and decision of making Beta his heir. He just had to push him a little bit further and let him take the bait. “Nevertheless, we have to put our family first. We would understand if you reject the idea of the woman we have in mind but you ought to al
