Seraphina POVI spent the week preparing for the unification ball for the Shadow Pack and the Night Walker Pack that would be held in a little less than two weeks. . By day I planned but by night I tossed and turned, being plagued with nightmares about the night of my mother’s murder and Allister’s death. Tonight was no different. The air felt charged by the moon as I walked to find my mother. A feeling of foreboding overcame my senses. Something wasn’t right. As I made my way outside I heard a scream that came from the gardens. The sounds of growls, pants, cries, and pleas filled the air making me want to cower away. But something told me I needed to help. I needed to do something.“No! Please no! I heard a familiar female voice cry. I grabbed the closest heavy item that I could find to use as a weapon. My weapon of choice, a large smooth rock. The sounds of fighting grew louder as I approached the center of the back gardens. When I approached the area that the fighting was comin
Seraphina POV TWO WEEKS LATERIt had been over two weeks since we heard anything from Lyla. In that time our men had not been able to find any leads as to where Callan’s mother and sister were. Although we were unable to continue to feel optimistic, we still were needed for tonight’s ball. I had spent the last five minutes hurling up my breakfast for the fourth day in a row. “Have you taken a test yet?” Maeve asked while tying her bathrobe. Her and I were enjoying having a spa day before the ball this evening. Currently we were in the ladies room of the spa so I could throw up my eggs and toast from this morning’s breakfast. I splashed some cold water from the sink on my face. “There’s no reason to take a test,” I retorted.Maeve gave me a look that said “don’t be stupid.” I rolled my eyes. “Fine,” I groaned. “I’ll take a stupid test.” The last thing I wanted was to take a test. I knew in my gut what it would say. After spending several hours at the spa Maeve had gone to the co
Seraphina POVCallan and I stood in front of both our packs in awe of how big our pack looked united as one. Accompanying us on stage was one of Callan’s advisors. An elderly man, named Clark. Instead of his usual pilisophical garb, he was instead in a dark navy suit with his wirey hair combed to the side. “Good evening everyone,” Callan addressed everyone. “We are blessed by the Moon Goddess to have such wonderful packmembers. We know that the past couple of months have been filled with disturbing events. Our goal tonight it to unite two of the most powerful packs in the region and become one.” Some murmurs echoed in the crowd. “We know that there is some bad blood between the two packs for obvious reasons.” I chimed in before pausing. “However, in order to get away from the past, we need to pave the way to our future.”“In order to perform the unification ceremony, we will draw a vote. Majority will win. We are in a unique situation because the alphas of our packs are indeed fated
Callan POVI felt my legs lose their balance as Drake mentioned the condition of my sister. What was meant to be a beautiful night was now soiled by the death of my sister. Seraphina held me up as I regained my composure. Without thinking Sera and I followed Drake to the wooded area that led to Night Walker side of the territory. ‘Shift with me, we will get there quicker,’ I said through the mindlink to Drake and Sera. Drake didn’t waste anytime and shifted into his tri-colored wolf, leaving shredded fabric in his wake. I shortly followed and when I didn’t hear anymore fabric tearing, I looked back to see Sera standing at the treeline. ‘I’ll meet you there, we need to make sure that our guests don’t think anything is wrong. I’ll have Maeve help me end the night.’ I nodded in my wolf form and ran passed my Beta and away from my mate. ‘Sir, Ambulance is here for her. She’s alive.’ Rodney said over the mindlink as I was halfway to the hospital. The paramedics were wheeling in my si
Sera POVCallan looked at me as if I had three heads. I knew this wasn’t the right time to say anything to him. However, he left me no choice. After a few moments I began to squirm under his shocked stare. After a few agonizing moments, Callan finally snapped out of his shock and cupped my face. I placed my hands over his and looked down. Unable to to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry I only just found out this morn—” Callan cut me off by pressing a passionate kiss to my lips. The lips that I had grown so infatuated with. His tongue tangled with mine, dancing a dance that only they knew how to do with one another. When he released me from the kiss, he looked at me with adoration. A broad smile spread on his face as he looked down at my stomach and back up to meet my eyes. “You’re pregnant,” he stated.I nodded with an infectious smile. “Yes.”He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed before peppering me with kisses. I giggled as he continued to kiss everywhere on my face. It was one of t
UNKNOWN POVI rushed up the hidden dirt driveway to the meeting spot that I knew all too well. I had been coming here for months giving insider information to the dark-eyed man. I owed it to my family who had lost their lives and jobs due to Alpha Callan. I owed it to myself to wipe his bitch of a Luna off the face of the Earth as well. She couldn’t have him. He was mine. Mine to trick, mine to manipulate, and mine to do whatever else I pleased with him. Seraphina was getting in the way of those plans. Before she had moved to the pack house Alpha Callan had spoken of taking a chosen mate. If it weren’t for finding his fated mate in Seraphina, I and the rest of the eligible girls in the pack would have gotten the opportunity to become Luna. Look how she treated her own pack. Giving it to another Alpha without so much as a blink of an eye. It was pathetic. My thoughts were interrupted when the dark eyed man started walking towards me. A light rain began to fall, coating my lashes. “W
LYLA POVReaper came storming into the living room of our cabin with lethal energy rolling off of him. I looked up from my book and raised an eyebrow. He was drenched from the rain that was now pouring buckets outside. “What is it?” I let out in an annoyed tone. “Oh, don’t you dare use that tone with me Lyla,” Reaper scolded. I rolled my eyes. “Or what?” In inhumane speed, Reaper threw out his hand and wrapped it around my throat before picking my up off the chair by my throat. “Use that fucking tone with me again Lyla and I swear to the fucking Moon Goddess herself that I will bring you to the play room and punish you until you can’t walk straight,” He growled in my face. My mind went back to the first time I was in the play room making shivers run down my spine. I had spent more time in that room when he wasn’t using and abusing Mia. For the longest of times, our time in the play room had been the only means of negotiating I had. When Reaper had found out that Allister was my
Callan POVStephanie spent four hours in surgery before they were able to stop the bleeding and make her stable. By the time she was out of the OR, I could have sworn that the soles of my shoes had dented the floor boards that I had been pacing on. She was currently still in stable condition and doctor desmond was optimistic that she would pull through. After being at the hospital for seventeen hours and being up for almost 40 hours, Seraphina pretty much begged me to go home. The entire time we were at the hospital, Sera’s words echoed in my mind. “I’m pregnant,” and ”I need to know what happened to my mother.” I knew the latter statement was coming. As her words kept replaying in my mind, I knew that with knowing the truth there would be more questions. Questions that I couldn’t answer. But I knew that my mate deserved to know what I did know. It was the least I could do. I hadn’t had a chance for the information of my mate’s pregancy to sink in until now as we arrived at the p
