Gregory and some of his wolves were moving around arranging stones and boxes while Regina was boiling something nasty in a cauldron, like a typical witch. Fire torches had been lit around, giving an orange glow to everything. Providing me with a good view of the number of wolves stationed around the cave. There were 10 Betas and warriors around us. I was sure there would be more in the forest. I couldn't fight through so many wolves. I would have to make a run somehow."Are you going to sacrifice me or something?" I asked casually."You are too expensive to be sacrificed, sweetheart," Gregory smirked."She would not be harmed, right? She can still give me pups, isn't it?" He asked Regina.I wanted to gag and rip his throat off."No, I just need her blood for now," Regina said.I wrinkled my nose, these people were crazy."Give me the girl," Savannah asked me.I clutched Clara tighter."No, I don't trust you," I said"You don't have any option Alice, if

Alice - I had reached a clearing near a stream.      'Savannah, come out. I know you are here. The forest is surrounded, you cannot leave.' I said in her mind as I felt her presence.  Before I could finish, I was shoved by a red female. Savannah had appeared from the rocks near the stream. I was tossed onto my side before I quickly righted myself and faced the known attacker. Savannah bared her teeth and growled low and deep. I returned the threat and watched as Savannah trembled and backed down a little. I looked behind her to see Lucian along with the rest of the pack. He stayed back and waited to see what would happen.  'You must hold a pretty big grudge against me to attack me in front of Lucian.' I said.  'I have nothing left to lose.' Savannah replied. 'I was happy until you showed up! This is all your fault!      W

Alice - "What am I looking at?" He asked, staring at the 2D model of his house. His parent's house."It's your old home, I have remodelled it. See, I have added these extensions here, your mother can have her private balcony. This tiny room can be added to its adjacent one. It would make an excellent nursery..." I rattled on about the changes, and his smile grew."It's lovely, but why do you want to remodel the house?""So that we can move in. It's lovely the way it is, but I thought of suggesting some improvements.""You want to move to my home?" He whispered, and I wasn't confident if he liked my idea."Yes, our current living arrangement is not very family-friendly, and I need a bigger closet," I replied.He swivelled my chair towards him and trapped me with both his hands. "Wait, did you say, family? And nursery?" He gave a mischievous smile.I turned red, of all the things, this is what he had hooked on."I mean eventually we will have a family someday," I fumbled for words. "A

The weather was fine, although the sky was cloudy. The worst of winter had passed, and the wonderful spring was arriving. Birds from the south had returned and sang their beautiful symphony. The wicked snow was gone, replaced by a vast carpet of grass. Flowers of many kinds had blossomed and filled the air with their fragrance. This was the best time of the year to have a housewarming. It was an intimate party with Rick and Lenora's family. We had also invited Emma, Damon, the pack Betas and some close friends. Aunt Flora was away on one of her impromptu trips. We already had a pack run and the barbecue party with the whole pack the previous evening. Kids played in the garden while I relaxed with Emma and other ladies on the patio overlooking the river. I gazed at Emma and other girls fussing over their babies and older kids. Even Katherine had Namara to look after. I knew what I had to do. Have Lucian's babies. I picked up my piña colada and smiled absentmindedly. "Are you even lis

Alice - After meeting Rossi girls and convincing them to join the training, I returned with Katherine. Lucian and I needed to talk. If Gregory's brother had escaped, he could be a potential threat. "You seem upset," Katherine said while I drove back to the packhouse. "I am feeling bad about the humiliation and fear those girls went through. I haven't tried reaching out to the new pack members. Things were so busy in the last year that they slipped off my mind. I feel like a failure." I lamented. "Don't say that, Alice. You have been the perfect, Luna. There has always been, and will always be such packs. When the Alphas turn out to be crazy, the pack suffers. My parents belonged to such a pack. " "I thought you always lived here!" I exclaimed, turning to face Katherine. "I was born here, but my parents were from the now decimated Blue-star pack. Their Alpha was weird. They had many rules around ranking. Mating with humans was forbidden. If any higher-ranking female had a lower r
