Alpha Female Ciciane's POV An hour later, I stepped into the entertainment room with Xanne. As soon as we entered, an overwhelming aura enveloped us. The room was filled with high-ranking Lycans.Technically, we are still rogues, we can barely hold our own, we are very vulnerable without the protection of a pack. We press ourselves against the wall as our breathing becomes labored. I position myself in front of Xanne, with my Alpha blood I am more resistant to dominance. Harad rushes towards us, behind him, I hear the King ordering those present to limit their auras. Gradually, Xanne and I can breathe freely again. Harad takes me by the hand and leads me to three men with long white beards and bald heads. I chuckle silently as these three individuals perfectly fit the mythical image that pack wolves have of the elder leaders of the Royal Kingdom. They are a mystery to most, with no photographs or televised appearances of

A Third Party's POV Listening to my ex-mate as she recounts how she was lured by Beta Naira from Crescent Moon to the private basement of the Alpha where both men proceeded to rape her, was heartbreaking. I loved her, but I never had the chance to show that I was an ideal mate for her. Once we discovered we were fated, she completely ignored me. My older age served as a major obstacle since she preferred young and athletic types like Princes. As a result, she abandoned our mate bond and left the pack with a charming yet promiscuous human male who'd already engaged in multiple one-night stands with female wolves, most of them her close friends. For a year, I endured the pain of her absence.All those endless sleepless nights I yearned for her. My wolf would howl in agony in the woods due to the loss of his mate. Jax couldn't understand that our mate didn't find him desirable enough to stay with us. Taylor wanted

Alpha Eugne's POV StillWe are currently driving in a convoy towards Crescent Moon.The inauguration of the new Alpha will take place in two hours. All Alphas from the Western Hemisphere will be present, preparations for this ceremony began immediately after the Council meeting, which took place two days ago. The King intends to make it a significant event, to lift any dark veil that has lingered over this pack so that the members have a new chance to prove that they can be a law-abiding pack. Ever since word spread that Crescent Moon was responsible for the disappearance of Eclipse Howlers, its members have been avoided like the plague. They are no longer welcome in any wolf pack society, every Alpha deemed them persona non grata, warning their male members to sever all ties with she-wolves from there or risk being exiled if they dared mate within Crescent Moon. Companies with this pack's shares are also blacklisted.It took the King enormous effort to persuade

Alpha Eugne's POV Still Over the next few days, I worked hard to put Crescent Moon's financial records in order.It's a race against the clock, I want to present a transparent overview to the King at the mating ceremony of the Princes. My reputation is at stake, I need to prove to His Highness that his trust in me was justified. It turns out that Alpha Gary has cunningly registered the entire pack's stock in various companies under his own name. He even went so far as to transfer all the annual dividends paid directly into his personal account. The maintenance costs and general expenditures of the pack are also paid from that account. Crescent Moon has no collective ownership of any kind, everyone owns only what they've paid for. Tax revenues alone carry little weight when trying to cushion these everyday expenses.His sneaky maneuvers didn't stop there. Even the pack's territory is registered in the name of the Alpha. Although formally transferable

Again Alpha Eugne's POV “Oriya, where's Shiri! I want an Answer NOW!”Jax seethes with anger due to the disrespect shown by this woman towards us. She must understand that I am the Alpha and will absolutely not tolerate anyone challenging my authority. And if this woman is to be made an example of, then so be it. Being a werewolf herself, she knew beforehand that her unforgivable behavior would result in consequences. My Alpha authority makes her freeze in her tracks, her wolf immediately goes into submission. With the mere hint of dissent, Jax’s formidable might could easily dismantle any insolence and rip her head off. In recent times, his dominance as an alpha wolf has rapidly grown and his resilience is waning at an alarming rate. Oriya is treading on thin ice with her attitude, I am perplexed as to why she took such a big risk. In the grip of terror, she turns around, her eyes fixed on the floor. “Alpha, please,
