Emily, We were led to the Alpha Quarters as Alpha Kane had instructed, and rooms were assigned to David and me. The moment I entered the room, I exhaled. I did not know how physically and mentally exhausted I was until I sat on the chair in the room and exhaled. The entire ordeal had shaken me to my core. I could see why people believed Jake must have run away. Our pack could not have gotten out of the mess he had created. I was grateful to Alpha Kane for giving us a chance and agreeing to help. It was painful to realise that I would be letting go of my family's legacy, but what is a pack without its members? At least everyone would now have a chance to survive and live their lives. Uncertainty gnawed at me regarding how the Howlers would react to this new arrangement. I hoped they would embrace the change and welcome it with open arms. Similarly, I longed for the members of the Shadow Moon pack to accept my people without bias. It was abundantly clear that anyone who knew u
Emily, Morning arrived, and Hayle, the Omega I had become acquainted with, came to escort me for breakfast. I hadn't managed much sleep, and I knew the fatigue would be apparent on my face. Nevertheless, I freshened up and donned the shirt and jeans provided for me by Alpha Kane. We made our way to the breakfast area, but to my surprise, only Alpha Kane was present. I couldn't help but wonder where David was. The confusion must have shown on my face, prompting Alpha Kane to address the situation without delay. "It will be just the two of us this morning, Emily. Your brother has been served in his room," he informed me, his expression remaining composed. A wave of nervousness washed over me. I hoped there was no issue at hand. Concerns began to surface, suggesting that Beta Carlton might have influenced Alpha Kane to retract his earlier assurances. I made a conscious effort to calm myself and maintain composure. Worrying never solved anything anyway. "I see that you didn't sleep wel
Emily, The time had finally come for us to depart from the settlement. All of our pack members had safely made their way to Shadow Moon. The sense of relief that washed over me in that moment was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Knowing that none of the Alphas who threatened me would be able to harm anyone anymore brought me a profound sense of ease. We received positive feedback from our members regarding their reception in Shadow Moon, which filled me with joy. As we stood in my house, with our jeep parked outside, I couldn't help but feel nervous about leaving everything behind. Our future at Shadow Moon was uncertain, but at least my people would no longer suffer the consequences of my mistakes. "Em," my brother's voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to face him. He was standing near the stairs, carrying the remaining pieces of my luggage. Since I had sold most of my valuables and continued to do so, I didn't have much left to bring along. He must have been sayin
Emily, Exiting the shower, I realised that my clothes were not in the room. I had rushed to the bathroom without thinking, and now I needed something to wear. I glanced around, feeling like an intruder, as I searched for the closet. Despite Alpha Kane granting me the room, it still felt as though I was snooping around, invading someone else's personal space. Taking a deep breath, I opened the closet door, half-expecting to find it empty. However, to my surprise, it was filled with clothes. A small envelope caught my attention, placed delicately on the stool inside the closet. My name was inscribed on the envelope, and curiosity compelled me to open it. Inside, I discovered a card. "I hope you like the clothes. I chose them specifically for you. Look beautiful tonight. Kane," the card revealed, causing my cheeks to flush once again. The warmth in my cheeks betrayed my emotions. When was the last time someone had pampered me like this? Alpha Kane was treating me as if I were royalty.
Emily, I could not believe what had just transpired between Kane and me. Even though I had no regrets, I wasn't clear about his intentions, which troubled me. I remained on the couch, feeling awkward and wondering where to go from there. I had just got to the Shadow Moon Pack, and Alpha Kane and I had made out. Was I that quick to give it up? I remembered how things happened between me and Jake and realised I had given my heart away too quickly. I glanced at Kane, noticing the concern etched on his face. Shifting uncomfortably in my seat, I hesitated to leave abruptly, aware that I had initiated this encounter. I had desired him and foolishly expressed my longing, to which he had acquiesced. Unable to comprehend why I had desired him so soon, but I knew that getting burned like this wouldn't be good for my heart. "I am sorry I can't do this," I blurted out, causing him to furrow his brow. "I'm sure you're a remarkable catch, Alpha, but I'm still recovering from a complicated sit
Kane, When I first laid eyes on Emily, my heart raced like never before. She entered the summit filled with fear and desperation, instantly capturing my attention. Up until then, I hadn't been fully engaged in the presentations of the day. But as soon as she walked in, everything changed. Blade, my loyal wolf companion, sensed my excitement and couldn't contain his joy. His antics threatened to overwhelm me. There was an undeniable effect that Emily had on me, though I couldn't quite explain why. I had never been instantly attracted to someone before, and it piqued my curiosity. However, I noticed the mark of another man on her neck, and I reined in my emotions, realising she was already taken. But then she revealed that he was missing, and strangely enough, I felt relieved. Little did I know it was the infamous Jake. It must have taken immense courage and risk for her to defy the rules and attend the summit. I admired her bravery and audacity. Emily exuded strength despite her fea
Emily, I spent the night thinking if I had made a mistake. I would lie if I said I wasn't attracted to Kane, but I knew it was too soon, and I believed I had more significant issues than getting cosy with the Alpha. Nia did not let me rest either. It was as if we agreed when I told Kane I did not want to sleep alone, and I reneged. I meant it, but I would be foolish to jump into bed with a man I barely knew. Although his touch was electrifying, and Jake never touched me like that, I needed to be careful and put my people's needs above mine. Lying awake, I scolded myself for my lack of self-control, realising that it had complicated things. I should have ended it before it became as serious as it did. In those moments, I knew that if he had made a move, I might have succumbed to it because my body craved comfort. But at what cost? Now, I found myself contemplating how my future days in the Shadow Moon pack would unfold. There was no doubt that things would be awkward between Kane an
Emily,I found David, Luis, and Claus waiting at the entrance, appearing somewhat uncomfortable. Our new situation was certainly going to take some adjustment.As I approached them, Luis greeted me with a wide grin."I guess a queen will always be a queen, Luna," he said, winking playfully. I looked away, shaking my head."It's not like that, Luis. He's only doing it to ensure we have representation in the pack since his officers are not fond of us. It's a temporary arrangement," I explained hurriedly, glancing back at him. He nodded, letting the topic fade away."I have something to discuss with you three," I stated, and David led me into their quarters. I was taken aback to see that the place was nicer than I had anticipated. It was a newly constructed building with three separate flats, and I realised that they had been allocated one each but were currently occupying just a single unit.I noticed my luggage boxes in the living area, and gratitude filled me. I asked Claus to assist m
