Aura’s POVI felt another pain coming, the doctor was sitting by my feet waiting for the first head of my pups.“Aura, push with this contraction, I will count down. Five, four, three, two, one, push!” he said as I pushed with all of my strength trying to expel my pups from my body.“Almost, I saw the top of a head, one more time, are you ready?” he asked.I didn’t bother to answer, I was so tired. I have to do this twice, I sucked in a breath as another contraction began its climb. I pushed hard this time knowing my wolf was helping as best as she could. This time, I heard a baby cry, it was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. Tears fell from my eyes, not from the pain, but from the love I felt for this tiny little life.“Congratulations, Luna, and Alpha, you have a son!” the doctor exclaimed as he handed my son to a nurse. Draven was looking over to watch what they were doing with our son. He looked back at me, and I was surprised to see the tears trickle down his face.“Aura

The next few days felt like a dream, Ember and Falcon ate and slept but mostly, they stole our hearts. Draven was so careful with them. He was always running about checking on them and me. I didn't know it was possible to love someone so much in such a short amount of time. We were getting ready to leave the pack hospital and return to the safe house. Only a few knew we were heading to a much more secluded place. Now that the twins were here, word of their birth had spread quickly. I knew Draven would keep us safe but the threats against them had already started. The pack war continued meaning we were not safe. "How are you feeling?" Draven's voice interrupted my thoughts. I smiled, "Aura ok," I said. My wolf had healed me from birth soon after I delivered my pups. "I think I have everything packed and ready to go. We will be deep in the forest, there won't be anyone around. Only three others know where we are going," Draven explained. I knew he would do anything to protect us.
Why now? I raced along the path heading to my control center. I was helping Aura with diaper changes when the alarm went off. I knew it wasn't a dire emergency but I had to go. I knew Karn was lurking out there waiting for his moment to strike. I nearly ripped the door off the hinges when I realized I was letting my anger get the best of me. Inside, all eyes were on me. I looked down noticing bits of fur springing from my skin. "Alpha, what happened? Are you alright? Are the twins and Aura alright?" Valerie asked, fear on her face. "What? No, nothing happened, everything is fine." I tried to calm my wolf as I tried to get the fur to dissipate. "What is the alarm about? You said there was an attack?" I said coming back to my senses. "Yes, Alpha, our neighbors have suffered a huge attack. There is talk the entire pack may have been wiped out. The reports from our scouts said they had not found any survivors. It seems we may have lost another pack." "Who is it?" I waited, my wolf wa
I paced around my office. How had this happened? Brightmoon was supposed to be eliminated! I knew Oren was dead but that bitch Adina had lived. I wanted them dead! My own brother had betrayed me in the name of the mate's bond! Ha! I would kill them all! My brother would watch me kill his mate! I will rip out her throat! I heard someone at the door, "What!" I snarled. The door opened revealing my Beta. "Well? How many survived?" I growled. "Only a few. Oren is dead. I have news," he said his voice quivering with fear. "What news?" I snarled, my annoyance growing by the second. "The Queen gave birth to her pups. A girl and a boy. They fit the description of the twins from the prophecy meaning she is truly the queen."I stopped, "she gave birth? The pups are alive?" I could feel my anger growing. She wasn't supposed to have his pups! She's to have my pups!"Yes Alpha, the pups are said to be healthy and strong." Taloc knew my plan."You find a way to bring her to me!" I thundered en
The minutes seemed like hours as we waited for the convoy to arrive. I couldn't help but be on edge. I knew Luna Adina would never lie but maybe she had been hurt enough to lose her memory? I would have to wait till they arrived and see for myself. Aura was lying down on a cot I had brought in for her. The twins both slept in their bassinets. I hoped for her the reports were true, Luna Adina had indeed made a miraculous recovery. I heard the code word come through telling us the convoy was here. I had been pacing while I waited for them to arrive. I had various security checkpoints set up to ensure there was nothing that could lead the enemy to our location. As the convoy entered the tunnel leading into the underground bunker, I waited for the all-clear before I cautiously approached. Sitting in the front seat giving orders to my men was Luna Adina. She had indeed made a miraculous recovery. I watched as Kendall was carefully unloaded from the back of a truck and gently placed on a s
Aura's POVI spent the day trying to take care of the twins without my mate's help. I was tired after a long night of mourning the loss of Alpha Oren. It was very sad. Draven stood in front of everyone as we all said our goodbyes. Most of Brightmoon's pack had perished in the attack. I had no idea how Luna Adina had made it out alive. Draven had said he saw a different light coming from me and Luna Adina said the same light had enveloped her when she thought she was about to die. I guess it was something to do with my abilities from what I had overheard. I don't know for sure but I think there is more to this than anyone is telling me. I guess they think I can't handle it but I can! I have gotten much stronger. I looked down at Falcon who was sleeping soundly in my arms. His little face scrunched up before he settled back down. Ember should be waking up to eat soon. They both loved to eat. Ember looked so much like me except for her jet-black hair which she got from her father. Falco
The moon was bigger than I remember. The last time I saw it I was standing with my mate, now I am alone. How could I have let this happen? I need her, I can’t live without her. I had never known what having a mate could feel until I found her. I had willed her to live when I found her that day. Now I had lost her and it is my fault. I looked down at the blood soaked sheet covering her. Her tiny body so still. She was chosen by the Moon Goddess to fulfill the prophecy. We had both been tricked but how? How had they gotten to her so easily? I had hidden her away from the world, how did they find her? I pulled the sheet down, I had to see her one last time. Aura lay unmoving, her eyes dull and lifeless. I leaned in to kiss her one last time. “Aura, no!”I sat up, a cold sweat dripping over my body. It had been a nightmare. Little hands gently touched my arm soothing me. “You ok?” She asked looking at me with those eyes that were now filled with worry, worry for me.“ I am now,” I told he
