~Alana~
‘I want everyone to be on the lookout for my son, Kai. He has been taken from school by force! Several instructors at the gymnasium were passed out and wounded, a few killed! My uncle Greyson did this! To Greyson and his men, let this be a warning to you! The whole pack is looking for you! Don’t you dare touch my son and that little girl you have with him!'
Alana heard Alric mind-link with the entire pack. She looked ahead and saw how Alric was nearly out of her sight. Her jaws trembled as tears stung her eyes. She was holding on to Dean’s wolf for dear life while he ran like the wind, following Alric and Max.
Alric had to sprint ahead, and Alana understood. She would slow him down when there was a dire need to find their son.
After getting a hint from Ace, Alric mentally connected with all the employees at Kai’s school. Their fears were confirmed when they learned how Kai was taken by Greyson’s men and they dared take a young girl

~Alric~ Alric could not help but be angry with himself. How could he have not seen this coming? But then again, the enemy’s plans have changed, and they were taken by surprise at how early they had lured Alana. ‘Alpha, we are under attack here at the eastern borders! It - it’s all Greyson’s men - ‘ The connection with the pack warriors guarding the eastern borders was cut short, and Alric knew why. Clearly, his men were under attack! With an imposing growl, the Alpha ordered all of his men to their latest lead and, as he darted in the same direction, he tried relentlessly to call for his son. ‘Kai? Where are you? Are you safe? Be safe for me and your mother, son. Be safe.’ It was a long run, but Alric made it in just half an hour. With his speed and desire to save his son, he felt unstoppable. Max was behind him immensely, but he knew his Gammas would eventually catch up. As he blazed, a few warrior packs followed his
~Alana~ It had been a while since Alana recognized her discomfort. Her body was changing and she could not deny it. She was aching all over, sensing her body expanding in each second that passed. Her nails were elongating, and she had been growling like the wolf that she was. Some changes were obvious to her, but she was unaware of what other transformations were happening to her. Not long before, she ultimately found her son. He was being carried by the mouth of a wolf whom she did not recognize, but she could only assume it was Greyson. The wolf had dark brown fur with gray streaks on his back. She saw how Alric was not too far, being circled by two wolves, undoubtedly ready to fight. She did not have enough time to assess the situation further, for the next thing she saw was how the said wolf tossed her son to the ground like he was nothing but garbage. Fury quickly overcame her, and she sensed her blood shooting up in her head. She ran as fast
~Alric~ Embracing each other tightly, Alric repeatedly pecked on Alana’s face. Kai also joined in their hug, crying. Alric understood how Kai was relieved at being saved. Repeatedly, he kept calling their names, asking if it was really over. “It’s okay, son. Everything is okay now. You are safe,” Alric assured him. "Remember, daddy will always come to your rescue and now that Mommy's wolf is out, she will always protect you like she did earlier today." He turned to Alana and pecked on her lips, saying, “As for you. Didn’t I tell you we were mates?” Alric was certain Alana was crying for both reasons. She was happy that Kai was safe, and she also felt the same way - the connection, the bond between them now, as their wolves claimed each other as their fated mates. All the wait. After the many decades of search, and endeavors they both underwent, it was finally clear now that they were meant to be together.
~Alana~ The second they entered Alric’s room, the couple frantically took off their clothes, their lips frequently crashed together. There was no denying it, they were on fire! “Fuck,” Alric hissed, while his hands kneaded on Alana’s breasts. His amber eyes glowed to a near gold as he lowered his nose to the slope of her shoulders. He took a deep whiff and claimed, “I am going to bite you - mark you for sure! You are mine. Fuck, you are so mine.” Alana chuckled. Her eyes looked down at his large hands that massaged her breast. She said, “Yes, get over it already. I’m all yours and you!” Her finger traced the curve of his muscles and claimed, “You are mine!” She did not know where her boldness was coming from, but she did not care. He was hers, and she was sure of it now. No more doubts. And because of that, she will, from now on, whole-heartedly enjoy what belonged to her, Alric being at the top of her list. “What the!” Alric cou
~Lana~ *** FLASHBACK: NINETEEN YEARS AGO *** “Hiya! Hiya!” Lana, regardless of her small and young frame, was boldly blocking her friend’s attacks. She managed to hold her pretend opponent down by pulling his forearm, and she struck his back with the use of her elbow. Quickly, she dashed to the other side while maintaining her grip on the boy, and with her strong leg, she kicked on his back. “Hiya!” “Good girl, Lana! As expected of my future Alpha,” a man with a great physique, with golden-brown hair and beautiful blue eyes like Lana’s, praised. The man then formed an apologetic frown before he turned to the boy and said, “Sorry, Reeth. You’ll make a good Beta for Lana.” “It’s okay, uncle Gunner. I will serve Lana with everything I have,” said the boy named Reeth. He smiled at Lana and said, "Good job, Lana." His words left the young Lana speechless, but soon, she laughed and claimed, "We’ll always be friends, Reeth." “La
~Lana~ “Speak to me.” After a gentle kiss on her face, Lana’s watery eyes opened at the sight of Alric.“Please tell me what’s going on.” After Lana’s memories came rushing back, she jerked awake, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs. She hasn’t spoken since, even after changing into her clothes. It worried Alric how she had not uttered a word that he sought for Valencia. Lana was brought to Alric’s study with Elenor and Valencia, observing her state. “Alana, here. I made a soothing tea for you. It will help you relax. I can feel your heart jumping erratically,” suggested Valencia, as she handed Lana the cup of tea. She silently accepted the tea and slowly finished it all down. Alric was now sitting beside her, his arms protectively circling around her frame. He said, “Alana, please. Please speak to me.” “Lana," she faintly corrected. “What?” He asked while his brows met.
~Lana~ “Let me see your mark,” Lana’s aunt requested, her hand nearly taking off her tunic. Lana could not help but flush profusely as she said, “How did you know?” Her aunt nearly snorted, and she replied, “Werewolves. I’m pretty sure they would not take long to mark their mates upon their recognition.” After marveling at Lana's mark, Lucille turned to Alric, who was sitting behind Lana. She said, “Thank you for taking care of Lana and Kai. Had I known you were the same person who had gotten Lana pregnant, I would not have hidden her scent from you.” “Of course, they are my family. I will do anything for them,” Alric replied, his eyes narrowing at Reeth, and low growls left his lips, as if ready to lunge at Lana's friend. After having met her aunt Lucille, Alric brought their guests to the Valmore home. Reeth, Lana’s childhood friend, was also introduced as one of the leaders of the rebellion at the Hidden Mist Valley Pack
~Author’s Narration~ Under the full moon, the mating ceremony was set on the biggest plains in the port of Valmore. Tents were planted to accommodate the guests and rows of seats, set on different levels, were temporarily made for everyone to settle down. At the front most, several Alphas of the neighboring packs came to witness the wedding of Alric and Lana. A long red carpet was laid down in the centermost part of the field. It created a long aisle where Lana would make her bridal walk. All guests were now in their designated seats while Lana lingered behind drapes of white curtains. She was wearing a nude illusion gown, where its sleeves, down to her chest, were embroidered with white gems. From afar, it looked as though the gleaming gems were glued to her skin. The same pattern faded out towards her chest, under her arms, and as it flowed down her princess-cut gown. With the dress’ design, Lana’s mark
