I apologize for the mix-up. I realized my sequence was wrong, so I had to insert this chapter. I only have one for today as well. But more to come tomorrow! Thank you again for all your gems and comments! I hope you won't get tired of giving them to us :) ♡
AEON. At around nine-thirty in the morning, we received a message that three cars had entered different borders in the territory with the Alphas and their Lunas. So at ten minutes before ten in the morning, we decided to come out and wait for them at the pack house front steps. Luna Nadia and Riley stood side by side, with Anya beside them. Anya, the sister of Gamma Sebastian, is the future Luna of the Green Valley Pack, Caleb’s territory. My Gamma, Edward, stood beside Gamma Sebastian behind us. Beta Dominic was manning one of the borders and coordinating security around the pack since it would be the Gammas who would join us for the security and counter-attack planning. Katarina, on the other hand, bailed out at the last minute and requested not to meet the Alphas until they were informed of our setup. She didn’t want to stand beside me while Lucas stood alone. And I understood. She has already agreed to continue with our fake engagement, and the least I could do was make thing
AEON.We were about to head inside the pack house when the sound of an approaching car erupted in the air.All our heads swung in the direction of the sound, watching as a big black SUV entered the pack house grounds.I sucked in a breath. I knew who this car belonged to.And my hunch was confirmed the moment the car door opened and he stepped out."Jacob!" Kallan exclaimed as he rushed to where he was while the others followed except for Riley, who remained standing beside me.My eyes focused on Jacob, but I couldn’t fathom his expression. He was wearing black sunglasses, hiding his eyes, but I saw him check me out for a millisecond before shifting his attention elsewhere."Haven’t seen you in a while." Kallan and the others gave him a hug as they shook hands, joking around like teenagers."Relax, he knows you’re here. So he went on his own knowledge that he would meet you here." Riley said in a calm voice before he went down the steps and greeted Jacob.I remained in my spot and ste
RILEY. "Good. Now you can proceed with Aeon’s fate." Darvin stated as his shoulders relaxed and my eyes met with Aeon’s. I waited for him to say something, but the fucker got his tongue-tied. I bobbed my head at him, letting him know I would take charge. I pulled the chair just beside me and swiveled it around before leaning my forearms on the headrest. My eyes looked at everyone around the room. Most of them were waiting for Aeon to say something, so I cleared my throat to get their attention before I spoke. "We have Achilles’ daughter." "Wow!" Caleb stated. Caspian, Caleb, and Kallan’s eyes were showing excitement just as I expected. They were probably thinking we had an ace on our side against Achilles. I saw Jacob’s gaze drawn to Aeon. And I was fucking sure he didn’t share the same sentiments as the other three. "And she happened to be Aeon’s fated mate." I added. The room fell silent, and all I could hear were eight heartbeats, including mine. "Did you reject her?" Kal
ALEXA. "You need to eat. We can talk over breakfast. I want to know how you ended up at Alpha Aeon’s territory and how they were treating you." Aunt Nicole helped me up from the floor, and we walked arm in arm toward the round table where he placed the basket she was carrying when she came. I helped her take out all the food, and my mouth watered at the sight of the food in front of me. And then my stomach rumbled a bit too loudly. It was only then that I realized I was hungry. Aunt Nicole giggled and placed food on my plate. "Eat... Don’t be shy with me. I have two kids, and they eat like crazy." "Two? Gamma Sebastian told me I look like his sister." "Yes." She smiled at me as I took a bite of the ham sandwich in my hands while she tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Her name is Anya. She’s younger than you by a year. And if I could take her here today to meet you, I would." "Maybe she won’t want a rogue..." "You’re not a rogue. You’re family and my Anya is a sweet
LADY KATARINA. Lucas and I went to the pavilion where we would have a simple and private dinner with the rest of the Alphas and Lunas, a bit too early. No one was around yet except the Omegas fixing the dining hall, so we decided to go out to the back of the building and enjoy the cool night and the stars around us. But to be honest, I was glad we went in early and had time for ourselves. We just found out we were fated mates a day ago, and we didn’t really have too much time alone. And today, I barely saw him since he spent the whole day with the Alphas. "What are you thinking?" Lucas tugged my hand and my body swirled around to face him before he snaked an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. We were already at the back of the pavilion, almost at the forest line. I smiled at him as my hands went up to his chest, trailing my fingers on his firm abs covered by his fitted white shirt. Lucas was an epitome of sexiness, and I was sure that even with trashy clothes, he could
ALEXA. Aeon helped me out with picking the right dress from the ones that Luna Nadia sent me. We were talking in between - and one by one, he told me about the Alphas and their Lunas. I wanted to ask if Katarina would be there because he didn’t mention her at all, but I didn’t. A part of me just wanted her away. It was enough that Aeon chose to be with me tonight. I’ve also been itching to tell him all that Aunt Nicole told me, but I knew it would just generate more questions from him and would need time for explanation, so I shoved the idea to the back of my mind for now. I would tell him later when we were back from dinner. Although I didn’t tell Aunt Nicole about us, I wasn’t planning on keeping what I found out from her from my mate. I trusted Aeon more than anyone at this point. Once we were both ready, we headed off to the other building — the small pavilion. I chose a green abstract asymmetric sleeve dress for myself, while Aeon just opted for a light blue shirt and his usu
ALEXA. "So tell me how you met Alpha Caleb?" Luna Emma asked Anya, and Anya’s cheek started to turn a shade of pink. The Lunas were sharing how they met their Alphas so Anya, Katarina, and I could hear the stories from them before their Alphas could exaggerate them to their favor, as Luna Clair said. Katarina has also shared how she and Alpha Lucas started, and now it was Anya’s turn. Anya glanced at the Alphas’ table for a quick second before she opened her mouth to speak. "I belong to this pack, so this is where I met him. Weeks before I turned eighteen, I ran out of the packhouse by the kitchen exit because I was so angry with Basti. That's Gamma Sebastian, my brother. So I didn’t notice there was a car moving on the packhouse grounds, and the next thing I knew, I was rolling on the ground." "Oh my Goddess, did he hit you?" Luna Andrea asked, her eyes rounding. "No. I saw the car just in the nick of time, so I jumped out... and rolled myself over. And then Alpha Caleb came out
GAMMA SEBASTIAN. I have been in a bad mood the whole day. My mother confirmed that Alexa was indeed the missing pup of Aunt Suzanne, the one my grandfather has been searching for for the last two decades. I didn’t meet Aunt Suzanne. Mom said I was only a year old when she disappeared with her fated mate, Archie. She was pregnant at that time. And they never heard of them after that, and it was toiling on my old man’s health, especially now that he was already in his sixties and wasn’t thinking of anything except Aunt Suzanne and her pup. I should be relieved and overjoyed, but I wasn’t. It pissed me off that Mom wanted to keep it hidden for a while until he was able to reach my grandfather and he could make up a plan on how to take Alexa away from Alpha Aeon’s pack. Mom told me over mindlink that Alpha Argon had issued a command to kill Alexa if she shifted into her wolf. And because of that, she didn’t trust Alpha Aeon either. But I did trust Alpha Aeon because my Alpha trusted
