LAURA “Laura!” My stepmother is yelling from downstairs, and I reach over to my bedtable, take my phone and touch the screen, so it lights up and shows it’s only 7.30. “Laura!” Samantha yells again. I get out of my bed and walk downstairs to our big kitchen, where I find Samantha and Leah, my stepsister, sitting by the table, Leah all covered in face masks while her mom is putting red nail polish on her hands. They will look like she had been dipping them in fresh blood. “About time, get to work and prepare breakfast. I am busy getting Leah ready for tonight.” “It is like 12 hours away. “ I argue. “That might be. But we want Leah to look better than everyone else.” I sigh and begin to make breakfast for all of us. Tonight our new Alpha turns 20, which means he can now find his mate. Alphas and other male wolves find their mate when they turn 20. That is so they can make sure they are mature enough to start the rest of their life with their mate. She-wolves, on the other hand,

LAURA It’s been a month since I found out I am Miles Mate. I had imagined it to be feeling different than it does. I mean, he is nice enough, but I barely see him in the daytime because he is busy with work, except in our bedroom. Miles loves sex, wants it every night, and gets grumpy if I say no. So mostly, I just give him what he wants. I have been getting pain in my body around my chest and stomach, so I went to go see a pack doctor today. They first gave me a strange look when I told them how I felt. But then decided to take blood tests and made me pee in a cup. First, I was shocked when the pack doctor returned and told me I was pregnant. After a fast checkup, I was told I was about a month into my pregnancy. I told the doctor to keep it a secret, so I was sure I would be the one to tell Miles. I am sure everything will change now. We will finally start our life together and create a family. I entered the packhouse, trying to ignore the pain in my body. I was just coming from t

LIAM I am out for my evening run like I do every night. I do not have to do this, I am the king of all werewolves and can get anyone I want to do this but I like doing it, and gives me a chance to run off the stress from the day. My wolf Shadow is a beast that everyone knows to fear, he won’t let anyone harm our people and packmembers of our pack “The Royal Moon Pack” it is our duty to protect them. Shadow is running our usual route but tonight something feels different. I tell him to slow down so we can find out what it is when the wind carries a barely noticeable scent towards us, Jasmine and Vanilla. Shadow decides to follow the scent, wanting to find out where it comes from. Coming up to the small lake with the waterfall we have on our land, we stop and look around. ‘There, by the rocks, there is something.’ Shadow tells me. I look through his eyes and see he is right ‘Let’s check, but be prepared. I don’t want to be surprised by an attack.’ I feel that he agrees. Coming close

LIAM I sat in my office in my office yesterday after coming back from talking with Laura. It is at times like this that I am not very proud of being the king of our species. Cheating and rejecting your goddess-given mate, you can’t be more stupid than that. And Laura, fuck I loved my mate, but Laura is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. At this moment I am in my car, driving to the hospital to pick up Laura and bring her home to my house. My mom has made sure to have a room with a joining bathroom ready for her, and also ordered the necessary clothes including underwear sets. My mom is looking forward to meeting Laura and having someone she can take care of. My mother is a sucker for making sure that the people around her are feeling good. Something she put her time and soul into after my father, her mate, and husband died. Driving up to the hospital and walk my way to Laura’s room and when I enter, the doc is there signing her release papers. The doctor turns and bows when

LAURA Liam led us into where all the packmembers have their houses, but there are also shops and a place where you can sit down and get a coffee. He showed me the gym and where his warriors work out and train daily. I was surprised to see so many she-wolves there, but Liam told me he likes for everyone to be able to protect themselves, so he encourages as many as possible to at least take some classes in self-defense. “From the look on your face, I take it that this isn’t something you are used to.” “No, she-wolves were not allowed to train. Especially not with the warriors. My dad wanted to train me, but the old Alpha said no. When Miles became Alpha he continued that.” Liam nods. “Sadly many packs still function in that old fashion way. But that means you never trained?” “Yes, but I wanted to." Liam smiles at me. “When you have given birth, I will train you until you are ready to train in the gym.” “I would love that, thank you.” We continue walking down the streets and com
