~Alric~ ‘Darling?’ Never once did Alric hear Alana address him as such. As much as he wanted to rebuke Geneva for her actions, he also delighted in one jealous Alana Hope, his future Luna.  He saw how her face reddened with anger, her eyes were practically burning holes through Geneva’s frame. He smirked repeatedly at Alana’s grudge and he craved to see it a little while longer… even if he had to swallow down the disgusting eggplant dish.  Fuck. Alric hated eggplants, but for the satisfaction of the woman he adored, he had to bear it, just for that day.  He knew Alana was steaming in anger when she left for the restroom, but he had to deal with Geneva before going after her.  Turning to his childhood friend, Alric charged, “Does that please you, Geneva? Trying to put tension between me and your future Luna? Do you think that our bond will be that easy to break?” “Alric, I - I was just trying -” “I can see wh

~Alana~ The day had finally arrived for Alana and Kai to visit Valencia.  Naturally, she was nervous. She did not want to get her hopes up, but then again, she could not help but want to find out the truth about her life. Who was she? Why was her wolf sealed? After fetching Kai from school, Alana and Alric went straight to Valencia’s home. Dean and Max accompanied them and they stood by the chamber doors to guard anyone against entering.  Valencia perfectly instructed that no one, absolutely no one, should interrupt them. Unlike the last, they went further down to another chamber from within Valencia’s home. It was a room full of old books, elixirs, and herbs.  Deep into the same chamber, there was a wide spot where an enormous circle was permanently painted on the floor, a six petal flower formed at the center. “Are you ready?” Peering at her, Valencia inquired.  Alana nodded, and she looked at Kai, also ac

~Alric~ Looking at his watch, he hissed, recognizing how late it was.  After the dinner with Alana and Kai at his office, Alric had more paperwork to accomplish, and a potential security threat he had to discuss with his Beta and Gammas. His family returned home earlier than he did, and while they spent a good one hour together, he did not miss Alana’s uneasiness. She was hiding something from him and he intended to find out.  He bathed and changed into comfortable clothes from his room. Only then did he make his way to Alana and Kai’s quarters. To his dismay, he found the door locked. ‘Just what is going on?’ He tried to mind-link with Alana, but there was no answer. ‘She is sleeping already? She did not wait for me?' Of course, he could have woken up the housekeeper and gotten the keys to the room, but he was planning on being extra romantic that night. Accessing a vacant room closest to Alana and Kai’s, Alric climbed through the b

~ACE~ ‘Fools. What fools they are,’ Ace silently scorned, recalling how easy it was for him to deceive Drake. All he needed to do was to cause trouble for Kathryn, Drake’s mate. A few of Greyson’s men followed and assaulted Kathryn while heading to the office. Naturally, she called for Drake’s help. He went rushing to her, even without explaining things to Alana.  He scoffed, thinking how he had succeeded in getting this far. He only had to influence his colleagues, and they did exactly as he suggested.  When they were in Bay City, he told Max to warn Geneva. He knew the bitch was obsessed with Alric and had been dreaming of becoming the next Luna. He also knew Max was close to Geneva. Bay calling Geneva from Bay City, he already created a reason for Alric to doubt Max.  Then there was Rex. When they returned to Bay City in search of Alana and Max, he was the one who directed him where to look.  When Ace hinted to Alric and

~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
