One month had passed since Alicia joined Rowan at the Shadowmoon pack and had a little celebration in the woods. The pair were becoming inseparable, unable to stay away from each other for too long. It wasn’t only the need to be close by because of the bond, but they also worked well together to make the Shadowmoon pack better.Alpha Mav’s dark, gloomy shadow left it in rubble, and Alicia and Rowan picked up the pieces to ensure the pack would have a better life. Not only was Alpha Mav a pervert who wanted Alicia as his personal breeder, but he also turned barely legal daughters into his mistresses in a large harem. The unfortunate she-wolves barely got their wolf, shifted for the first time and were ripped from their families and taken to Alpha Mav before they could find their mates.The pack had been ruled cruelly by the previous Alpha. Under Alpha Rowan’s and Alicia’s rule, the pack was grateful and eternally grateful to Alicia, who brought the werewolf’s wicked ways to light in fr

~ BEFORE ~Rowan may have been ordered by the Alpha King to take Shadowmoon pack under his wing like the others, and thrown Alpha Mav into prison but there were other reasons Rowan eagerly took on the pack. He could have helped build the pack up within as little as one to two weeks.They stayed for an entire month because he had leads about the witch.The witch that was causing havoc among the packs, and using humans as her marionettes, easy to manipulate and use.Alpha Mav had been ruling Shadowmoon pack like a rotting infestation. He’d been getting away with his nefarious ways. It wasn’t only Rowan but his Beta, Voss, that determined the witch was probably working with him.Although there were leads indicating this witch had indeed been to Shadowmoon pack, to which nobody had been aware of, Rowan came up empty. He’d follow a clue and then it would lead to nothing like a scent that dissipates into the air like it had never been there in the first place.Rowan sighed, squeezing his ma

Rowan’s SUV departed from the town car he left Alicia in. Beta Voss met up with his driver halfway and collected Rowan to take him to the palace. Neither could go against an order by the Alpha King, even if Rowan did want to see to Alicia’s safety.She was still pale and looked tired when he left her.The sooner he dealt with the King and Queen, the quicker he could return to her.Rowan’s fingers tapped against his leg as his Beta drove at high speed to the palace. He wondered if the witch’s actions were finally catching up with her, which was how his dim-witted father discovered her existence.As soon as the SUV parked in front of the grand steps of the palace, Rowan strolled forward, buttoning his suit jacket, going straight to the audience chamber. Once, the guards opened the doors for Rowan, disrupting who was speaking with the King and Queen.“Who-” The King halted his abrasive attitude upon seeing Rowan calmly walk towards the centre of the creamy hall.The floors and walls were

By the time Ruby finally returned to the pack house, a good twenty minutes after Rowan expected her, Voss’ expression remained blank as he showed her the way to Rowan’s office.Ruby shrugged Voss’ hand off her back and glared at him. “I know where it is,” she hissed, continuing down the hallway. Voss didn’t comment, or leave the she-wolf but he didn’t touch her again either.It wasn’t like he wanted to anyway. Garnet was going to lose his sh*t when he discovered what his baby sister did to their mother. It was a good thing Rowan was sorting this now before the Gamma returned from training.Ruby strolled through the office door nonchalantly, she made a point of changing into tight black skinny jeans and a boxy cropped top, still revealing her toned stomach. It as disrespectful to Rowan not to come to the pack house immediately. But Alicia did feel better that the girl changed into something… well more than a nightie that was meant to seduce her mate.Nausea gripped her stomach but Alic

On the decking outside the pack house, overlooking the scenery, Alicia’s head lay resting on Rowan’s lap, her legs spread out while he looked over some papers. He was always in that office when doing paperwork, so she decided to take him outside and get some fresh air. It was peaceful for her too.Rowan informed Alicia about what happened at the palace, now that Ruby was out of the pack and the drama had died down—for now anyway—they continued with their discussions and plans.“That’s suspicious,” Alicia said after Rowan explained the King and Queen would make him King if he caught the witch. “The Queen hates you, so why would she give you this?”Rowan nodded. “I know. I feel the same way.” He continued to stroke the top of her hair while reading through some documents.Alicia stared at his features under the sunlight. The wind blew his dark locks gently against the top of his forehead. Instead of his usual suits, Rowan wore a white button down, the top couple of buttons undone reveal
