"I can't contact Sonja."Dylan was faced with the distress-looking mate. With one scoop, he carried her and cradled her as he took a seat on his swivel chair."Since when?"Arms around Dylan's neck, she mumbled. "Since last week. I first thought she was merely doing errands with Shinro and Laville, but I received Shinro's mind link right. He hasn't made any contact with Sonja for three weeks already. Rakiz is the same."Dylan opened the drawer of his table and took his cellular phone that he rarely used. In fact, this was the first time Diana see him use technology aside from his laptop—which he only used for searching baby names like a man possessed."Who are you calling?" asked Diana upon seeing her mate dialed someone."Luke."Hearing Dylan's one-word reply, Diana finally remembered that Sonja was Luke Cain's mate!Hope flickered in Diana's eyes as she waited and listened.The phone kept ringing for good two minutes. By the nth ring, Luke Cain finally answered."Bro, what's the matt

Seated in a long table, Diana was situated on the head chair while Dylan was to her right side while her left side was empty—it was the seat for Sonja, Diana’s trusted familiar. Seated next to Dylan was Shinro while seated next to the empty chair was Rakiz Lemoir. The rest of the seats were occupied by Mason Ritchell of the Crescent Pack, the six alphas of the Night Prowlers Pack, Soleyah Haynes of the Woodland Pack, and Talia of the Genesis Coven. Even Sally had a seat of her own while the two betas stood and lingered behind her, making Sally sit all tense and uneasy With the long table now packed with Diana’s allied forces, the absence of Sonja was pulling heavily in her chest. Under the table, her fists clenched yet her façade remained impregnable for all to see. Only those with direct connections with her knew the turmoil in her heart. ‘I need to calm down… Sonja will tell me that for sure. I mean, look at that. My vassals are here, ready to help me—the contrast to the time when

Standing between Diana and the enchanted Luke Cain was no other than Dylan Cain.His grip around Diana’s wrist was gentle, but no matter how much Diana pull her wrist from him, it would not budge.Through gritted teeth and sharp glare, Diana asked in a low voice. “What are you doing?”“I am stopping you.” His gaze was gentle ye his tone was firm. With his free hand, he caressed Diana’s cheek.“Are you protecting him?”“I don’t want you to be blind with anger and regret things later on, Diana.” He called her by her name, a telltale sign that he was serious.Closing her eyes for a split minute, Diana drew a deep breath. The moment she opened her eyes, the red hue that almost covered her sclera vanished. With a wave of her free hand, she expelled the freezing spell she cast on Luke Cain.Seeing this, Dylan let go of Diana. He knew deep down that Diana needed to vent her anger, but for him, it was enough that she had dirtied her hands with blood from saving him from the clutches of the Ge

Diana watched the departing members of the alliance. “Did they receive the gift I prepared?” Rakiz Lemoir, who was a step behind Diana, glanced at the tablet he was holding as if he was confirming something then he nodded. “They received it.” He whistled. “These trackers from the human continent brought by Soleyah Haynes are very useful indeed!” Diana turned around and headed back to the pack’s training ground. Unlike the usual days, she was not wearing a maternity dress. Instead, she wore a pair of stretchable pants, a white shirt that hugged her belly perfectly, and a black leather jacket. She paired it with her infamous combat boots as her hair was tied in a clean braid. Walking past the dazed Sally, Diana stopped a foot away from her. “Are you sure that you don’t want to be with them?” A self-deprecating smile appeared on Sally’s face. “So what if I want them? I am an omega with no hidden bloodline like you, Luna Diana. My will alone cannot pave the way for our cursed fate.”

“Alexander,” greeted Soleyah to the man who was only clad in his shorts. It took her a few seconds to peel her gaze from his broad chest. She looked straight into his eyes, thoroughly reminding herself that she was no longer his ‘little sister’. She was his equal—an alpha female by birthright. “Soleyah.” Alexander’s deep voice that called his name made Soleyah focus her gaze on his sensual lips. She could not help but remember those nights when she screamed in pleasure from those lips of his. Shaking her head, she cleared her throat and asked. “What’s the matter? Are you going to stop me again?” “Will you even listen if I do?” Helplessness flashed beneath his crimson eyes as he stared at her. “I am here to ask you one more time, will you come with me? The Werewolf Committee is not your main concern. I can help you rebuild your strength as an alpha in your pack.” Soleyah sneered. Gone was the desire in her heart, replaced with disappointment and anger. “You are wasting your time.
