••• Colton’s POV •••Another day had passed, and there was still no news from our spies. Even though my mate didn't tell me anything, I knew he was withholding information from me.“Lucas, where did you go last night? I asked him with an accusatory tone.“What do you mean? I was sleeping next to you,” he lied smoothly, which hurt me.“I know you purposely had sex with me to make me fall asleep,” I straightaway called out his trick. “You went to the Night Shade Pack, didn't you?”“Colton, I don't know what you mean. I was asleep next to you the whole night,” he acted as though he was confused by my words.“Lucas!” I yelled at him. I couldn't take it anymore.“I’m your mate! Do you think it’s nice to be lied to by my mate?” my voice rose up a notch, and I felt hurt that he was still pretending and lying to me.“I’m your mate!” I screamed again. “You should never lie to me and include me in everything you do!” My emotions got the better of me as my body trembled, and tears started to spi
••• Lucas’ POV •••“Lucas, please be careful,” my mate told me as I opened my car door to go to the Night Shade Pack.I released my hold on the car door and turned around to take my mate into my arms. “Don't worry, I will, my love.”He blushed when he heard me calling him my love. I seldom used that kind of words, but today I felt like doing so to make him feel at ease.I kissed his forehead, lips, and finally, his huge, bulging pregnant belly.“I’ll be back in no time. The Beta and Gamma couples will stay with you. If you feel uncomfortable, just let them know, alright?” I traced his cheek and jawline with my finger.I was actually nervous to leave him alone with just the Gamma couples. Even though there were still two weeks until his due date, I was afraid something would happen, and he would deliver our pups without me by his side.But no matter how nervous and reluctant I was to leave him, I had to do it. This matter was important to my mate, and I had to save those enslaved rogue
••• Colton’s POV •••It had been a while since they went down to the dungeon. They should’ve found the rouges, shouldn't they?“Lucas, have you found them?” I asked my mate through our mindlink.“Yes,” he replied.“How are they?” I asked him nervously.“They are fine. Chained, but only with minor injuries. We’ll free them now,” I heard him say.I breathed out in relief to hear that the rogues were fine with only minor injuries.“Shit,” suddenly I heard my mate curse.My heart thumped wildly. Did something happen? “Lucas? What happened?”I waited for his answer, but there was none. “Lucas?” I asked, and still, there was no response from him, and I became alarmed.“Lucas! Lucas, what happened?” I asked frantically. Why didn't he answer me? Did they get caught?I couldn't sit still anymore and went to take my car key.“Luna, where are you going?” Beta Nick stepped in front of me.“Move,” I glared at him.“I’m sorry, Luna, but Alpha has told us not to let you go anywhere,” he said polite
••• Lucas’ POV •••When we reached the Night Shade Pack, I raced toward the infirmary with my pale, still-unconscious mate in my arms.“Doctor!” I yelled and saw doctors and nurses already stationed outside the infirmary with a stretcher. Aleena or Witch Lily must have mindlinked them to receive us. I quickly placed Colton’s body on the stretcher and followed the doctors and nurses as they wheeled him inside.“I’m sorry, Alpha Lucas, but you are not allowed to go in from here on,” a nurse stopped me from entering the operating room.No matter how much I wanted to be on my mate’s side right now, I still complied with their rules.“Please save him,” I begged the nurse.“We’ll do our best, Alpha Lucas,” the nurse said professionally and joined the rest of her colleagues in the operating room.I clenched my fists tightly as I watched the red lamp above the operating room blink, indicating they were operating on my mate.My wolf was as restless as me as he kept prancing around in my mind
••• Colton’s POV •••“Fuck,” I panted and slummed back to the bed from the doggy-style position. After so many years together, Lucas could still fuck me into oblivion.“Good?” he smirked as he perched himself on one elbow and looked at me wickedly.His question and smirk made me blush. Damn him for always being able to make me feel shy.“Mommy, Daddy!” We heard the voices of little girls and constant knocking on the door.“Open it,” I told him as I stretched my body lazily on the bed and covered myself with a blanket.He put on his shorts and opened the door. When the door opened, two cute little girls barrage in, jumped to the bed, and bounced around.“Mommy, did Daddy bully you again?” my baby girl, Summer, asked.“No,” I shook my head, sat up, and pulled Summer into my arms.“But we heard Mommy screaming. Daddy must be bullying Momy again!” my other little princess, Winter, said with a serious expression.They heard me? Goddess, how loud was I when being fucked by my mate?My cheeks
What will you do when you find out that everything you knew about your life was a big fat lie? That is what's happening to me. These are all the things they told me I was: 1. The Alpha of the Black Heart Pack's daughter - LIE! 2. Wolfless - LIE! 3. Tried to seduce the Beta - LIE! 4. Weak - LIE! 5. A Rogue - LIE! 6. My mom was killed by the rogues - LIE! Which brought us to the last point: that I was a traitor for knowing that I was a rogue taken in by my mother, the Luna of the pack, and passed off as point no.1 (Which I swear I knew nothing of!) LIES! LIES LIES! Everything was just BULLSHIT! My life was basically full of LIES!!! Nothing I've ever known was true, not even one bit of it. Even the existence of my life seemed like a lie. Ever since I was born, I was just a pawn for them to become the strongest. Scratch that - I was THE plan for them to become the strongest - not their pawn, nor their tool. For so long, they had been the strongest, yet there was only one perso
“Aleena, come to my study now,” I heard Alpha Andre’s voice through the mind-link. “I need to go meet the Alpha now,” I told my friend and waved goodbye at her as she nodded in understanding. I walked fast, changing course from the ballroom toward the Alpha’s study- more like rushing to. No one liked to keep the Alpha waiting after being summoned. Reaching the study's door, I heard hushed voices of people inside, so I decided to knock, then I heard the Alpha asking me to wait for a while before I heard shuffling sounds of papers being hidden. I couldn’t care less about it, it wasn’t my place to ask about the pack’s matters. “Come in,” the Alpha’s voice sounded from inside the room, and I reached for the doorknob to open it. Opening the door, I saw the Alpha seated on his usual chair behind his desk, with Luna Rose on his right, and Beta Erick on his left. Beta Erick then nodded to me in acknowledgment before passing me by to exit the room. “Is there something wrong, Alpha?” I a
“Yup. All five will attend for sure,” I replied. “Even the Crimson Blood Pack will attend. Shows how respected our pack is,” he said with pride. We all were actually quite shocked by the news. No one would have imagined that the Crimson Blood Pack would attend a social event. Even the invitation was sent out only as a courtesy of them being one of the packs here. There were a total of five packs in this country - Silver Moon Pack, Spirit Shadow Pack, Glowing Stone Pack, Crimson Blood Pack, and on top of them all was ours, the Black Heart Pack. We all had quite nice friendships and had businesses together, except for the Crimson Blood Pack. They were kind of a loner as their pack was situated far away from the rest of us. We all lived near forests, to not be seen by humans when we were in wolf forms, but they lived up the mountain, where even other pack members wouldn't see them. And they wouldn’t usually attend social functions if they had no important issues to be discussed by th
