Alpha Rick's POVI walked down the long, cold corridor toward Melina's cell and I felt a sense of excitement rising within me. I always felt happy whenever I thought of having her back in my custody, back where she belonged – as my slave.As I walked into her cell and my eyes locked onto her, I couldn't help but grin. She was just as beautiful as I remembered, but now she belonged to me once again."Melina," I said, my voice filled with satisfaction. "It's so good to see you again. I have really missed having you as my slave."But to my surprise, she remained silent, staring blankly ahead. It was as though my words meant nothing to her, as though she was immune to my taunts and threats."Cat got your tongue, Melina?" I taunted, trying to get a reaction out of her. "You escaped from me once, but you will never be able to do it again. You are mine now, and there's nothing you can do about it."Still, she said nothing, her gaze fixed on a point beyond me. It was as though she was in her
Melina's POVAs I watched Alpha Rick leave the cell, worry and anger filled me. How could he do this to me? How could he help that evil Gamma called Barbara to take away my position as Luna? I couldn't believe it and I was beyond pissed.I felt the need to pray to the Moon Goddess for help, to guide me through this dark time because I was losing my mind.As I closed my eyes and prayed, a voice suddenly spoke to me from nowhere. It was calm, soothing, and yet commanding. "Melina, stand up and get yourself out of here immediately."I opened my eyes. I was confused, wondering if I was truly losing my mind, but my wolf nudged me, urging me to move. Without thinking, I got up, my heart pounding in my chest.I closed my eyes again, praying one more time to the Moon Goddess, then I tried to perform some magic. But nothing happened. I tried again and again, my frustration growing. But still, the magic refused to work.I felt defeated and sat down, with tears streaming down my face.My wolf,

Melina's POVAs I stood alone in my room, I closed my eyes and concentrated, feeling the power within me pulsing and surging. It was like an electric current running through my veins, a force that I had always sensed but never fully understood. But now, I was starting to understand it, to control it, and to use it to my advantage.I was so engrossed in my practice that I didn't hear the door open, and it was only when I heard Beta Aren clearing his throat that I turned around, startled.My heart was pounding in my chest as I saw him standing there, his eyes fixed on me with a mixture of curiosity and surprise."Melina," he said, his voice low and cautious. "What are you doing?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to explain it to him. But then I took a deep breath and replied, "I'm practicing. I'm trying to work on my powers."Beta Aren's expression softened slightly, and he nodded. "I see," he said. "Well, you're certainly making progress. But there's something else I need to te
Alpha Dwane's POVEight months have passed since the battle and now Beta Aren was escorting me to take over leadership of the Crescent pack.As we made our way to the pack's territory, my mind was racing with plans and strategies for the future.Despite my excitement, I knew that taking over leadership of the Crescent pack would not be an easy task. I needed to be prepared for any challenges that may come my way.Beta Aren walked beside me, his steady presence a calming influence on my nerves."Alpha Dwane," Beta Aren said, breaking the silence between us. "I know you've been preparing for this moment for a long time. But remember, leading a pack is not just about strength and power. It's also about compassion and understanding."I nodded, grateful for his words of wisdom. "I understand, Beta Aren. I plan to lead with both my head and my heart."We continued walking in silence for a while longer before Beta Aren spoke again. "You know, the Crescent pack is a proud and stubborn group.
MELINA’S POVTo say that I was elated was an understatement. If there is anything to describe how I feel now that is more giving than being excited, I'd use it. With everything that I've gone through in my life, the suffering, maltreatment from my former mate and being spoken down to, I never expected that I would be this loved and accepted. After giving birth to our baby boy, Talon, everything has been going so smooth. Too smooth if I may add. He had always been overprotective over me even when I was not pregnant. Now that we have a child together, it has gotten to another level entirely. He hardly leaves my side. He only does when he has pack duties to attend to or probably meetings. It's been a few days after Talon ce into this world, but my body still felt weak and sore. Though, I could feel my wolf trying as much as possible to heal me internally and I was mostly healed already. My magic powers already increased immensely even though I hardly used them. It was like the power
DWANE’S POVI looked at my wife as she snored gently, trying to pull the covers away from her body but I returned it. I had already layed Talon to sleep in his crib, now my sole attention is focused on Melanie. Pushing away the hair that covered her face, I entered into the duvet and craddled her in my arms. As if she sensed me, she wrapped herself around me, throwing her legs on mine. This made me chuckle to myself. I kissed the top of her forehead and rested my head on it. I knew she was going through a lot recently. After the birth of our child, she's been stressed. Though she didn't show it in anyway, probably she did not want Mr to feel stressed about it. But I think sje forgot that we were mates and I could feel her emotions.She was always overthinking. I could not pin point what it was about, but I knew it was either about the baby or about herself.I've caught her looking at her body in the mirror countless times with a deep look on her face, like she does not like what sh
MELANIE’S POVEverything was going well until I was told by someone that there was going to be a feast for me and my child. Not that I didn't want it, but I didn't know how to feel about it. With the insecurity I felt about my body, I don't think I'll be able to handle been in a room full of people bustling with joy and energy and not spoil the atmosphere. Dwane was doing this for me and I knew it. It was just that, I was not sure I could cope with the way and state my body is in. He has never at any point made me feel insecure or anything. It was all in my head and I knew it. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, without his knowledge and him knowing of course, I sometimes felt like crying. But looking in the bright side, was Talon, my child. As I looked at him now in the carrier that he was inside, I smiled. He was already looking at me. He smiled back, rubbing his small, cute palms together. Everyone that met me on the way has been compleme
