~ Luciana's POV~Luciana woke up with suddenly, fear gripping her heart. She felt that something was not right. She turned on the bed to see that the space beside her was empty and Alister was not there. It was also cold, meaning the space had been empty for long.She frowned, climbing out of the bed. Ever since the attack on the pack, everyone has been on edge. The once friendly and happy pack was no longer booming with joy. People were scared of coming out of their houses.They were all still recovering from the attack, she knew that. But their recovery was taking longer than she anticipated. She sighed, sensing Alister’s presence in the house. She left her room and climbed down the stairs to the kitchen to see him working. He had a laptop on and was furiously typing on it. He looked up the moment she entered the kitchen and smiled as she approached him.“Hey babe… “ she said, kissing his cheek.Alister pulled her into his laps and nuzzled into her, “ Hey… what are you doing u

~ Luciana's POV~Luciana didn't have to wait for very long before Ophelia arrived at the clinic. She must have rushed there as fast as she could after receiving the phone call. When Ophelia opened the door to the doctor's office, her eyes were filled with fear, showing just how worried she was.The expression on Ophelia's face didn't bring any comfort to the woman. In fact, it made her even more scared. Ophelia immediately asked, "Where is he?" She looked around the room and spotted Keita sitting on the couch. She walked over to him and knelt down in front of him.Ophelia reached out her hand towards Keita and gently said, "Can you hold my hand?" She said.Keita looked at her face, perhaps wondering if it was alright to hold the hand of an older woman. Luciana nodded slightly, giving him permission. Keita shifted on the couch and took Ophelia's hand in his own.The moment Ophelia squeezed his hand, she gasped and looked at Keita, tapping his shoulder gently. " tell me to stand up, ki

~ Alister's POV~Rather than heading to the pack house where the other visiting Alphas were staying, they took a familiar route leading to Wilson's house. He knew he would always stay at Wilson's place. The man would always use the opportunity to talk with him, something he wouldn't do if he stayed at the pack house with other Alphas. The decision to go to Wilson's house also added a touch of intimacy to their reunion, creating a more relaxed and cozy atmosphere for their gathering.The council, much like any other pack, had a structured setup. There was a massive pack house that served as a dormitory for wolves with special abilities, while the elders and council members had their own private houses. This arrangement provided a place for retired alphas to reside if they chose to continue serving the werewolf community in their active years.As they walked and talked, Alister overheard Matt's next words, “ How are the kids here? “ he heard Matt ask Wilson as a young boy, appearing to

Alister's POVHumans? They were attacking humans? He thought. Why would werewolves be attacking humans, risking exposure to their world. Just how crazy were these rogues."They recently launched an attack on The Blackmoon pack not too long ago, and before that, they targeted three other packs and two human settlements…" another elder spoke, his voice filled with concern.Alister swiftly turned his head to face the man who had spoken. It was no surprise to him that the news had already reached their ears; after all, he had promptly sent them a detailed report about the incident that had happened."It seems they are on a quest and they are sweeping down packs that are standing in their way…," Alpha Reed spoke up, his tone laced with amusement as he smirked directly at Alister.Alister couldn't help but respond, defending his pack's honor, "I wouldn't describe their attack on my pack as a sweeping victory... it was a failed attempt," he stated firmly, locking eyes with Alpha Reed.Amusem

~ Luciana's POV ~Luciana let out a weary sigh as she ended the call with Alister. She gazed out of the kitchen window, watching as Keita joyfully ran around the backyard, his laughter filling the air. How long would he be able to keep that innocent smile on his face? Would they be able to protect him when the council discovered his abilities? Because that was exactly what Alister was about to do. Another sigh escaped Luciana's lips as she picked up the bowl of fruit and made her way out of the kitchen to join Keita and Ophelia in the backyard. Ophelia glanced up, offering a sympathetic smile to her as Luciana approached."How are you holding up?" Ophelia inquired, concern evident in her voice.Luciana shook her head, her expression reflecting worry. "I'm trying my best to stay strong and not give in to panic," she admitted.Ever since they had learned the previous day about Keita's special ability to manipulate and control people's minds, Luciana had been consumed by anxiety and
