Alana's POV“Wait! Wait, Alex, please.” I pleaded, my voice quivering. “Don’t do this. I’m begging you. You’re better than this rage you feel. Please, just put the knife away.”He paused with his hand halfway to me, and I let out a shaky breath, swallowing hard. I saw the panic in Kai’s eyes and the flicker of relief when Alex stopped midway. The battle around us had already been over, and most of the warriors were still in their wolf forms, but Alex couldn't care less. He was more focus on ending me.With one word from Kai, they would lunge at him without mercy and tear him to shreds, but that might cost me my own life as he had his arm wrapped around my neck, keeping me close to his chest.Without the knife around my neck, I would have easily stomped on his feet and twisted out of his hold, but he made sure to leave no room for weakness. As the second ticked by, I knew I had to try to talk him out of this madness; it was my only chance to save both our lives.“Alex, please, let me g

Alana's POV“I don’t want to assume anymore, Kai. I want to know what really happened that night. Please tell me” I begged, my voice almost trembling.Kai nodded, his expression calm. “I will tell you everything because you deserve to know. Your father’s death has nothing to do with my mother, I assure you. She only gave the order to have him executed because he was found guilty and there was no other choice.”“Guilty of what exactly?” I asked through gritted teeth, my hands curled into fists.“Brooks might have been a good father to you, but he wasn’t a good man. He betrayed his people, his alpha, the moment he became a spy for Klaus’s mother. Your father helped her kill my father.”“How could you be so sure? What if it was set up so he could take the blame for it?”.“It wasn’t a setup.” He snapped, his eyes losing their blue color as he looked at me. “I saw them both with my own eyes. I saw him stab my father, and it wasn’t a mistake. He wouldn’t have been smiling if it had been but

Alana POVAs the council members filed out of the grand hall, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. Their voices gradually faded into the distance as they whispered among themselves.For over sixteen years, I led the Oceanic Pack as their leader. I faced countless challenges and threats from the resistance. Many submitted to my leadership as the Luna, but others rejected me. They called me names, claiming that I was unfit to fill the shoes of their last Alpha. To them, I was a stranger, a nobody in their midst. However, that didn’t stop me from filling the position.But now it was time to let go and entrust the leadership to my two sons, Cameron and Chase. They had turned eighteen a few days ago, but they had not yet found their mates—a rare occurrence among werewolves.The council had urged me to arrange a mating ceremony for them so they could select suitable partners from the young she-wolves who had just come of age and also without mates.Although they meant well, I resented their

Cameron POVI stared into the near distance, taking in the sight that was so familiar: my face reflected in another. Chase, my twin brother, stood before me. His handsome features mirrored mine.Mother said we had inherited our father’s striking blue eyes that contrasted with her chocolate-brown hair but those rosy lips were definitely hers. Chase and I were almost identical in appearance, but anyone who knew us well enough could tell us apart by our personalities.I was calm and rational. Before making a decision, I consistently weighed the pros and cons. While on the other hand, Chase was wild and reckless, habitually following his gut without considering the potential consequences. He was like a curious child living life without worries while I bear the burden for us both.Our mother, Luna Alana, the Alpha female of the Oceanic Pack, had noticed this striking difference since we were pups and had given me the task of keeping an eye on my younger siblings, Chase and our sister Cassa

Cameron POVNeither I nor my brother, Chase, could resist the sweet scent that filled our nostrils. It was like a melody that drew me in—a spell that enchanted every part of me. I felt powerless and unable to resist its pull. Drawn by the irresistible allure, we ventured deeper into the forest, pushing through the thick bushes and trees, our ears perked and our chests heaving with excitement as we searched for the source.The scent became even more intense as we approached a clearing where a waterfall crashed down with a thunderous roar. But what we saw there was not what we had expected.A brown wolf, brave and proud, was fighting for its life against a group of angry-looking rogues. Its eyes sparkled with fierce resolve, and its body danced with deadly elegance, but it was obvious that that brown wolf was outnumbered and would undoubtedly be defeated."Wow, look at that wolf," Chase said, admiring its courage as we stood across the plains watching.“It’s amazing. But the brown wolf
