Cameron POV"Wow, this place is amazing," I said, looking around the Crimson Pack's territory. It was a wonderland of wolves, a thriving community that stretched beyond the horizon. We had never seen anything like it in our lives. The Oceanic Pack, our home, was a speck of dust compared to this.Mother always told us to stay away, but she never mentioned how beautiful the place was. Chase and I could easily get used to living here. It possesses the elements we need to evolve into better and stronger alphas.“Right?” Chase concurred, his tone filled with awe. He seldom agreed with me on anything, but this was an exception. His expression was a reflection of mine. The security here was flawless, which served as evidence of their undefeated status over many years.The Crimson Pack had guards stationed at every entrance. They also had patrols at every corner which was impossible to invade at any point in time. They left nothing to chance or to be unprotected. Yet we didn’t care about any
WILLOW POVI could feel Matt’s gaze on the back of my head as I turned away and started walking in the opposite direction. I had no idea where Mother had gone, but I knew I needed to find her. That was the only way to discover the identity of my father.I hadn’t walked very far when Matt reappeared at my side, his hand latching onto my wrist with a firmness that halted my next steps.“Where do you think you’re going?” His voice was low and demanding as he gazed at me with suspicion.I looked away, feeling guilty and ashamed. I didn’t have a clear answer; only a vague sense of restlessness and confusion twirled in my mind. I gazed down at Matt's grip around my wrist. His touch was firm, a silent plea for me to stop and not take another step.“Let me go, Matt. Please,” I whispered, trying to pull away from him. But he held on, his grip tightening.“No. You can’t just run away like this. Tell me what’s going on. Where are you headed?” He demanded, his voice echoing in the silence.“I don
Alana's POVI felt the emptiness in my chest intensify as I recalled the vacant beds at my son's room just a few minutes ago. It’s already been two days since they left to join their peers in the Crimson Pack, and I’m gripped by the fear that they may never return.All my efforts to stop them and make them see reason fell on deaf ears. They had been adamant because they loved her and wanted nothing more than to be with her.However, their absence had left me feeling more restless than ever. I hope they will return soon to reclaim their rightful place as the Alphas of the Oceanic Pack. Yet, I knew it was not that simple.They may choose to extend their stay with their mate if they feel the need. The Crimson Pack might be their birthplace, but they remain unfamiliar with its people and traditions. How can my sons find joy in such a place? How can they place their trust in Willow, who was brought up by that detestable woman, Nadia?Their thoughts hurt me deeply as I tossed and turned in
Alana’s POV.“Yes, it’s true. My sons have joined the Crimson Pack,” I admitted, knowing there was no point in lying when they already knew the truth. “Why?” he asked me."They've gone to claim their mate. Willow." I explained, calmly."Are you insane?" He asked me.“No, I’m not insane. And I demand you speak to me with due respect!” I spat, feeling anger rise within me at his disrespect. He might be older than me, but I was still his Luna."Apologies for my misuse of words, Luna but how could you let them do this? How could you let them betray us like this?" He asked me, raising his voice still.I sighed. “I didn't let them do anything. They did it on their own. They're adults and have every right to make their own choices."“Do you realize what they’ve done? Do you understand the implications this could have on their future as Alphas?” He asked me, refusing to back down. I exhaled, nodding. “I understand everything. I’m fully aware of what’s at stake and the consequences of their a
WILLOW POVI felt as if all the air in my lungs had been knocked out of me. Matt, the one person who had always been there for me, looked at me with disbelief and hurt.His eyes, emerald green, were wide and stunned as they darted between the three of us; his grip loosened, and he quickly let go of me, as if I had burned him with my touch.He took a step back, his mouth opening and closing like a fish, gasping for water. “What’s going on here?” he whispered, his voice hoarse and filled with disbelief. “Who are these guys?”I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. I hesitated and stammered, and before I could form the correct word to speak, I was too late.Before I knew it, Cameron and Chase, my friends, moved in sync like they always did. They came to my side. Their hands, strong and gentle, grabbed me at the same time and pulled me away from Matt and closer to them.Cameron spoke with a commanding tone, his voice loud and clear, “We are her mates.” He announced it, leavin
Kai’s POV“Where is she? Where is Willow?” I muttered to myself, pacing frantically in the pack’s hallway. My heart was heavy with worry; an hour had passed since she ran away from me. Her face was a mask of shock and disbelief.She had learned the truth about her mother’s lies and betrayal.I was afraid she might do something rash or run away again. However, it wasn’t her actions that worried me the most.Cameron and Chase had gone after her. They were loyal to their mate. I didn’t know what they would do next. I was scared; they might follow her if she decided to leave, but I knew one thing: I couldn’t lose them again that they are here. The thought of them leaving me forever filled me with dread. They were my only heirs—my flesh and blood.“Son, what happened? How did it go with Willow?” My mother’s voice startled me from behind. I turned to see her standing in the doorway. She looked at me with concern, her green eyes searching mine.I shook my head, indicating it didn’t go well a
WILLOW POVI lay awake in my bed, staring at the moonlit ceiling. Sleep was far from me tonight, whether I missed my mate or I was still shaken by the news of my mother’s deceit was not very clear to me.I wish I could go talk to them or cuddle with them like we did earlier. However, they might already be sleeping, and I wouldn’t want to wake them up.With that thought in mind, I decided to stay put, hoping that sleep would eventually come. But it didn’t. My mind was racing with endless thoughts, none of which were pleasant enough to calm both my wolf and me.Suddenly, I heard a soft noise. It was my door, opening slowly. I reached for the lamp at my bedside and turned it on. I blinked, surprised by what I saw.Cameron and Chase were standing in the doorway, grinning mischievously at me. "Cameron! Chase!" I gasped, happy to see them."Hey, love," Cameron said, his eyes twinkling. "Can we come in? We thought you might use some company.""Sure, come on in," I said, smiling back.They wa
Kai's POV“Where is she? Where is that wretched woman?” I muttered, my voice straining with frustration. Nadia was gone, and no one seemed to know where she was.I felt a surge of irritation, a dark cloud that obscured my mind and heightened my disdain for her. Nadia had disappeared, and the guards who searched the entire territory found no trace of her.It seemed like she had disappeared into thin air, leaving no trail behind. Her scent had been masked, making it hard for the guards to trace her. This was a situation that I was certain Nadia wasn’t capable of handling on her own.The nagging doubt that someone might be helping her hide only served to fuel my anger further. The thought of her still roaming freely filled me with rage.I thought of my mother and the possibility that she could be helping Nadia. I couldn’t be far from the truth. My mother had always defended Nadia. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was behind this situation because she never stopped supporting her, even when
