RALPH Seraphina’s words wouldn't stop haunting me. I couldn't believe that I fell for a silly spell. For fuck’s sake I'm an Alpha and had been through worse, how could a second hand spell from some unknown witch affect and make me fuck things up this way. “You trusted and let down your guard, that's your only mistake,” Seraphina had said. Perhaps, that was true as I've known Lisbeth my whole life. We grew up together and thought we’d end up as mates, but that didn't work out after I found Aurora to be my mate. Imagine how heartbroken we were and then when the pressure to mate and attain my full potential came, I had to approach her after watching her from afar. My initial intention was to mate her and use her as a link to penetrate her Pack as her father and I have had issues for years. After approaching and secretly spending time with her, my initial impression of her as a rude and spoiled princess changed. I found her to be a very sweet and easygoing person. Slowly, I began to loo

RILEY(AURORA) Alpha Brian never let go of my arm, he pulled me along with him from the private grounds and into the mansion. Everyone present gave us weird looks. After coming to the Night Bloomers Pack, I found out a lot of things, things that weren't regarded as anything back in my pack actually meant a lot here, Brian holding me and pulling me away with him while keeping a frowned face had its meaning. It was only one's mate that could act like this with her. Murmurs and whispers filled everywhere we passed. “Will she be our Luna?” “I told you that little boy is the Alpha's son, can't you see. He is holding her hand.” “I wonder what she did, the Alpha is definitely taking her to his room.” “She is an outsider, I'd never agree to her becoming our Luna. Her being the Alpha’s advisor is already a slap in our face.” This particular comment caught my attention, I turned in the direction the voice had come from and there was Sierra’s personal maid, glaring viciously at me, next to he

AURORA "Keep your damn hands off my woman!" Alpha Brian's angry voice resonated from a distance, bringing everyone's attention to us.“Great. Just great!” I looked at both men as I was in between them. It felt refreshing how I talked back at Ralph’s Beta, but getting Alpha Brian involved wasn't part of my intention."What are you doing with her?" Alpha Brian growled. "I ask again, what are you doing with my woman?" He repeated.I sighed. To avoid it, I should just leave them. "I apologize for any inconvenience I've caused." I bowed a little, directing it to no one in particular. Adrian rolled his eyes, he probably sensed the sarcasm.Jasper, my missing son, was still on my mind and I had to leave to continue searching for him. If only I hadn't met Adrian on my way, this wouldn't have happened, thereby delaying me.Alpha Brian grabbed my hand possessively, stopping me from leaving. "Do you know who she is? This is my personal advisor, Riley, my woman!" He declared, his crystal clear

RILEY (AURORA)"Ralph must not see Jasper!" the ribbons in my hands fell to the floor in an instant. “What did I just hear the maids say? Ralph is here!”Quickly, I rushed out of the room. The maids bowed fearfully, but I didn't spare them a look. I needed to take Jasper out of that celebration ground before Ralph sees him. Everything I have worked hard for, everything I have gone through to this day, mustn't go down the drain because of the presence of that bastard.It is the second time I am panicking today, and it isn't a good sign that things will end up well. If Ralph meets Jasper, even the most powerful spell wouldn't prevent him from recognizing some common traits in him. Ralph's eyes were one of what captivated me that year when I knew he was my mate. Those golden, dust-like eyes that stared at me with deep affection and love suddenly turned to the ones that held pure resentment after I chose him over my pack. The man that had those eyes is the one that made me what I am t

RALPH I didn't feel reluctant to attend this festival because I am searching for my mate, but now I'm getting tired. Maybe it is a celebration for all packs but not a celebration for me."Can you just show me you are here?" I whispered, rubbing my neck. I messed up. I messed up pretty bad, and I regret it. I only decided to make Lisbeth free just for a reason.Why did her spell take so long to be broken? I inflicted so much pain on my mate. She ran to me for safety after cutting ties with her pack, but I ignored her. I ridiculed and made her feel worthless. I almost had another Luna while my real mate needed my help the most."I promise to right every wrong I've made." I walked slowly in the hall, looking around for the sharpest sight of her. Most of the attendants were putting on masks, which means she will be on a mask too, especially when she is aware I attended."How else do we search for her?" I mind linked my Beta in frustration. The crowd here is too much, and it is giving m
