NADIA. Riley spent the rest of the morning in his office before he and Beta Dominic went out to do some pack’s business on the other side of the territory. I spent the rest of the day with Jenny and the females from the pack who were part of a livelihood program. Jenny and I went to the warehouse where most females gather to make handmade items and trinkets that they sell at the center — the same place Riley took me on my second day in the territory. It has been part of my weekly routine to visit them twice a week, but I decided to spend more time with them today since Luna Graciella, Riley’s aunt and Caleb’s mother, canceled her visit with me today. She was supposed to help me with the Luna ceremony program that I would be giving to the organizer so they could start working on it even if Riley and I hadn’t decided when the ceremony would take place. The Luna canceled her visit because Caleb had another row with his father about Anya. Although Luna Graciella had personally visited
NADIA. The last three weeks have just flown by so fast. Beta Dominic and Jenny just returned home from the Black Shadow Pack, as well as Gamma Sebastian from the Gamma Assembly he attended, so Riley and I took the afternoon off. We went to the neutral city together with Alpha Darvin just to kill off time and to observe the human territory. We were at the center, and I was checking things in the outside marketplace when I heard a female call after my mate. My head tilted to look at the brunette with curly hair approaching Riley. A human. "Riley! Hi! Do you remember me?" She asked chirpily, but her eyes drifted to Alpha Darvin and stayed there for a while before shifting her gaze back to my mate. Riley’s eyes darted to me before he returned his attention to the female smiling in front of him, shaking his head at her as he sent me a mindlink. 'I swear to the Goddess, I don’t know this female and I never had a relationship with her or anyone.' I almost choked at the seriousness of his
NADIA. Riley and I walked to his office and found Beta Dominic on his desk at the far end of the room, burying himself in a pile of documents on his table. "Good evening, Beta." I greeted him, taking his attention from his work. "Alpha, Luna," he greeted as he stood up from his chair before Riley motioned for him to sit down. "How was your visit with the Black Shadow pack? I didn’t have time to ask you earlier." I asked him as I took an empty glass and poured some strong whisky for my Alpha. "It was good. The visit was better than the last one. They are more relaxed around me now." He chuckled before he continued. "And Janna gave birth while I was there." "I heard. Should I make you a drink too?" I handed the glass to Riley, but before I could move away, his arm snaked around my waist as he gently pulled me into his lap. "No need to bother, Luna. I can do that myself. I don’t think the Alpha will let you go from his arms anyway." The Beta snickered his response as he stood up fr
RILEY. The day of our travel to the Black Shadow Pack has finally arrived. This was Nadia’s first trip to another pack, as my Luna, and she couldn’t help but be excited. And I was hoping she would still feel happy after this visit. I knew I should have been more open and told her about everything I discovered, but I didn’t because I wasn’t certain either. I was just relying on my hunches. So I would just let nature take its course. We arrived at the airport an hour ago and were picked up by Beta Gavin and some of his men. He was Caspian’s brother-in-law. And we didn’t exactly have a good relationship the first time we met. Alia, his mate, Caspian’s sister, had a childhood crush on me. I had no idea what I actually did wrong on that part, but he somehow hated me for it. But if I based it on the warm welcome we received from him today and the way he was relaxed around me, it seemed like it was all behind him now, which I was thankful for. I was hoping for the same thing with Alia. I
LUNA CLAIR. 'Princess?' Jake’s voice rang in my head. 'Jake?' I answered him right away. 'They’re in the territory. They’ll be here soon. Are you ready?' 'I think I am. Just let me get my head together and prepare myself a bit more.' I excused myself from Janna and Alia, and went into the bathroom. 'I love you. No matter what happens today, you will let your father explain. No running away.' 'I promise.' 'Or I will chain you up around my body.' 'That doesn’t sound bad. I might just reconsider running away then...' I bit my lower lip as I rested my hands on the bathroom counter. 'I love you, you know that? And I will just be here for you.' 'I love you too. And thank you.' 'We’re a team, princess. I will always have your back.' I smiled as the mindlink closed while I looked at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. Alia and Janna were outside doing a final touch on Janna’s curls. I excused myself so I could gather myself before facing Nadia. A week ago, Jake came to me and co
RILEY. "Veronica and I grew up together. We were good friends until we just found ourselves falling for each other. The relationship was new when the attack happened. For a week, I was trying to find where she was. And when I did find her, she told me she found her mate in the pack they ran to during the attack. I didn’t bother to ask what pack. I was heartbroken but I knew what I signed up for when we dive into the relationship. So I moved on and started my life with a new pack while trying to forget her. David found Camilla and they moved to the Black Shadow Pack. I was left alone on my own. I wanted my pack and my territory back, but I had no one. And then I found Laura, my mate, and decided that maybe her being human was a sign that I was bound to just let go of my pack. But in the back of my mind, if I get an heir, I would try again to take back what was mine. But Laura and I were not blessed with a pup. Again, I took it as a sign that I was not bound to have a pack. And I try
NADIA. We had just arrived home, and my body was tired from the whole day of talking and laughing with the females in Clair’s territory. I’ve never had so much fun with so many females before. I have my own set of friends. It was usually just me, Katarina, and Trish, but it was never this big. I was also glad that I got to spend time with Laura and my dad. They told me and Riley before we left that they would be visiting our territory in two weeks. And I couldn’t be more excited! I wanted Arrow to meet Dad and his wolf, and maybe we could run together on a full moon. Riley opened the door to our room and turned on the dim lights. I slipped inside without saying anything. I was so tired and just wanted to soak in a warm tub. Riley seemed to have read my mind as he helped me unzip the back of my dress and let the dress slide off my body, pooling at the end of my feet. He then leaned against my neck, his warm mouth brushing against my skin. I moaned softly, with my eyes closed, revel
TWO WEEKS LATER. UNKNOWN POV. I should be having a fancy dinner right now with the Rogue Alpha of the North, if not for some mother fuckers who interrupted my plans. I had no idea what pack attacked us that night, but if I based it on our location, it must have been either from the Blue Meadows or the Silver Moon Pack, and that’s why we’ve been rounding this area looking for my slut of a daughter. I thought she was killed that night, but we didn’t find her body and someone confirmed that she was seen being dragged away from our camping site. And now I only have a few days to find her, but I still have no fucking clue where she was. "Alpha!" A rogue wolf shifted in front of me, still panting from his run. "A red car is heading this way. Two blonde females are inside, about the same age as Alexa. We can make do with Plan B tonight." "Bravo! Now head off to Draco and the rest. Give them the signal. I will be running behind the car when it passes by here. Make sure they do what I tol
