AUSTIN. The moment we stopped at the border where Alpha Kairo and his men waited for us, I had the urge to jump out of my car and haul Randall from wherever he might be. I wanted to let out the anger that had been brewing in my chest since last night. Unfortunately for him, he was the only outlet I could see. “Austin.” The Alpha called for my attention as I turned off the engine. “Calm down. Don’t attack him here unless he starts something. Wait until we are secluded.” “I don’t plan to do anything.” That was a lie. “I can see your face. I’ve been there, but remember, you are a Gamma. We can hold out punishments and inquiries without losing control.” “Yes, Alpha.” I guess he knew too well. That meant I had to wait. I’d been dying to throw a punch, a kick, or two at him. Alpha Jace got out of the car, and it was only then that I let out a sigh of frustration. After a while, I followed him as he met Alpha Kairo. Then, we all walked together toward one of the cars from the Dark Wo
AUSTIN. By the time we reached the building where the cells were, Randall’s cuts and wounds bled from being dragged. He had been apologizing from the very beginning until he just shut his mouth. He probably realized I would not stop hauling him, even if he apologized for the sins of the world. Alpha Jace was waiting outside the building with three warriors. The moment I shifted into my human form, I was given shorts to put on. The warriors with him immediately took the chain that held Randall and helped him up on his feet before they took him to the cell assigned to him. The cells he would be given were new. It was a clean one and had a one-sided mirror like the one you would see in an interrogation building. We decided to use this because we wanted Lexi to listen to him without him seeing her. “Did you get anything from him?” The Alpha asked. “I never asked, but he did apologize and say he was only following orders.” “We know that already.” I didn’t reply and just walked alo
AUSTIN. The last two days went by so fast. Randall was still in the cells and being watched. So far, he has been cooperative with every piece of information asked of him. We later found out that when I took David, he was asked to accompany Lexi in here, so once Lexi drove back with him, he would take them directly to Crescent Moon. They wanted to hold David hostage to make sure Lexi would do their bidding. It was a blessing in disguise that I didn’t allow Randall to take her back to Bernice City, or they would just fall exactly into Gray’s trap. After I reentered Lexi and David’s lives, Randall was not asked to return to their pack and was just advised they would call him if there was any need. But he was given instructions to keep communicating with Lexi, thus the visits and the messaging, even when I was there in Bernice City. Randall said he was summoned to go back recently, but he asked for more time. He told them he had a plan in mind, but he had nothing. He was terrified
AUSTIN.“Daddy will miss you, too, buddy…” I said softly as I gently smoothed my hand over his back. “I love you. Don’t forget that.”Soon, he began making noises of excitement, and I didn’t need to wonder as to why because I smelled my father. The sounds of footsteps approaching reached my ear before I felt his presence behind us. “I was at the training building, but your men said you didn’t go there,” Dad said.“I was with David from the time I woke up. I changed his diapers and clothes. Lexi was still sleeping.” I answered without looking at him. “I asked for a time off until they leave today.”David started to make giggling noises and became restless. I felt Dad behind me, and his hands went over me as he held David. I loosened my hold on my son and let Dad take him, but my gaze remained on the vast forest in front of us.“Are you okay?” He asked.“No. I’m not…”“I wish I could do more, Austin.”“Me, too…” I paused before I took a deep breath. “After you realized you wanted Mom,
AUSTIN. I clapped my hands as a proud smile crossed my face after the female with whom Lexi was sparring tapped the ground to surrender. Lexi won the duel against her co-trainees again. I knew it would only be a matter of time before she could match up with Harlene, the top female warrior in our pack and the one handling her training. Because it seemed even if she wasn’t fully trained all her life, she was a naturally born skilled fighter. It was nothing surprising, as she came from an Alpha bloodline. “Aren’t you supposed to be working? Work hours are not over yet.” She said coyly as she approached me. I handed her a towel before opening her water bottle and giving it to her as well. “I don’t mind being an errand boy for my beautiful female.” I flashed her a smug smirk while my eyes basked at the beauty in front of me. She was indeed beautiful, even if she was sweaty and her hair was sticking to the side of her face. A wide smile curled on her lips before she spoke again.
LEXI.“You’re mine, Lexi,” Austin whispered in my ear and his words sent shivers down my spine, but I couldn’t help being terrified of what was about to come. Trust Austin. I kept chanting in my head. I knew he would never put me in danger. Austin let go of his hands, covering my eyes. My lashes fluttered before I slowly opened my eyes. A soft gasp escaped my throat when I saw someone in front of us — not just one person, but a lot. “Austin…” I called him, and I had no idea if a sound came out of my throat. My eyes widened before a smile curled on my lips. Everyone in Austin’s family was here, even Jason and Jessica, and David and Marie. They all looked at us with a wide smile on their faces. “Oh, Goddess! What’s going on?” I asked as I slowly turned my head to look at Austin. And if I thought finding his family here was already the surprise, Austin gave me more. I saw him kneeling on one knee beside me with the rose quartz ring that he gave me as our engagement ring. After the
AUSTIN. I watched with pride in my chest as Lexi walked toward me. Who would have thought that a female as strong and as beautiful as hers would give an easy-go-lucky playboy a chance to be better? She was so beautiful and just perfect. Even if I saw her every day, every night, I was sure I would never get tired of looking at her. I would no longer be afraid to admit that she was indeed the most beautiful female I had ever laid eyes on. The same thought I had when I first saw her when I was thirteen years old and met her for the first time. I knew my young heart was captivated by her beauty, even at first sight. But the fact that she was full of angst and had ignored me was something I couldn’t accept. Before Lexi became a part of the Black Shadow Pack, I was just an ordinary adolescent, crushing on females, but I never made any moves. When she came, and every other person became her friend except me, it challenged me to prove to her that I could do better. I started charming
ALPHA JACE. My brows hiked up the moment the border came into view. One of the men guarding this side sent me a mindlink that Gray was here and had requested to speak with Austin. I told them to let him know Austin was on his way, but it was Tyler and I that drove there. Austin and Lexi took three days off to have an official honeymoon. It could have been longer, but the delegates for the Gamma Camp are arriving in a few days, and Austin needed to make sure we were prepared for that. Since we knew they were being watched and to make sure Lexi would not be taken, they just went to a secluded beach on the east part of the territory. But they should be here by midnight. “Do you want me to go with you, or should I stay behind?” Tyler asked as we approached the border. “If Gray comes with men around him, then come closer. If he will speak with me alone, just stay behind.” “Got it. And just letting you know, the men are ready just in case they insist on entering the border.” I ju
