What happens when Jaxon discovers they are mates a month before the ball and that the Moon Goddess chose her from birth to become a member of “The Alpha Council” that will force her to leave the pack?

View MoreMel’s POVI make sure Zion is securely wrapped in his blue, elephant blanket and we take the long, peaceful walk to the dining hall where our pack is waiting. There are also a few Alphas and Lunas here. I place Zion in the white bassinet in front of the room and stand beside it with Jaxon as our pack lines up to see him. It's tradition for each pack member to kiss the baby, but that's not happening today. Although he's not going to get sick, the thought of people putting germs on my child curdles my stomach. I watch like a hawk, using my gift to see their auras, as the members of our pack gaze at him adoringly. I suddenly feel a weird sensation like something is off, but I brush it off as just being a paranoid, overprotective mama wolf. "He's beautiful, Luna." "He's going to grow up to be such a powerful Alpha." I force a smile, responding almost robotically to their comments and congratulations. I can't shake the feeling that someone's here that shouldn't be, but I'm
3 MONTHS LATER Mel's POV Today is Zion's grand debut with the pack. I dress him up in the most adorable little black suit and hand him over to Jaxon so I can get myself ready. The first few weeks of his life have been hectic, but I have enjoyed every second of it. When Jaxon and Ameer are busy with pack business, Bliss comes with us every time we leave the house. I don't mind the extra protection, plus I get to hang out with my best friend all the time. As I put on my dress and minimal makeup, my eyes are fixed on Jaxon cradling our son. The look of pride on his face is undeniable as he lovingly bounces him up and down, creating a gentle rhythm. I wish Damon would have ever looked at me that way, but I'm so grateful that Zion has a daddy that loves him unconditionally. Our son's adorable coos echo in the air and he has his tiny hand wrapped around Jaxon's finger. His smile widens, "that's right, Son. You're going to meet your pack and a few of our allies today," he says
Mel’s POVThe rogue suddenly sniffs the air, a dark smile curling at his lips."You're carrying a pup." He sniffs again. "Alpha Jaxon's pup. That's perfect. Once I kill you both, it will weaken him enough for me to take over his pack." Nina rips through me, the innate urge to protect our pup washing over me. I shift and swiftly sink my teeth into his neck, detaching it from his body. There's a mixture of gasps and curses from the rogues. I know you were playing with our prey, but no one will threaten our pup! Nina growls. No, I completely agree with that. He went entirely too far! There's no way I will ever let harm come to our pup. I never thought I would have motherly instincts or even be a mother at all, but the love I already feel for this pup is indescribable. I'm not sure why it took so long to get pregnant, but when I finally felt him growing inside of me, both Jaxon and I were so thrilled. Dusk and Rubeus step up, with Dusk subtly positioning himself in front o
(Song: "Castle" by Halsey) Mel's POV ONE YEAR LATER "Jaxon, no fair! You know I'm carrying around a big ass watermelon!" I growl, missing the volleyball for the twentieth time as he spikes it with all his strength. Ava bursts out laughing. "We win again!" She gives her brother a high five before running over to the ice chest and grabbing a juice box. Jaxon has a huge, cocky grin on his face as he makes his way over to me. "Sorry baby girl, you told not to take it easy on you unless I don't want to touch you for the rest of your pregnancy." He leans down to my ear. "Two months without that beautiful, tight pussy would kill me." I shudder at his words, pleasurable shivers going up my spine. His grin widens at the smell of my arousal. "Although, I'm sure you would've given in before the day was over." I scoff. "No, I wouldn't have." He raises his hands in surrender and takes a step back. "I won't be stupid enough to argue with my gorgeous, pregnant Luna." I shoot h
Jaxon’s POV "Fuck," I hiss, trying not to bust right then and there. Because of her heat, it's like her pussy is a hot pocket straight out of the oven, but at least I don't have to worry about scorching my dick off. "Fuck me hard and don't you dare hold back," she says with a ravenous growl. I pull out a little, and slam back into her. She screams, clawing at my shoulders and digging her heels into my lower back. I press her harder into the cave wall, yanking her head back by her hair to have full access to her neck. As I slam up into her over and over again, I nip and lick her throat. The passion between us is like a blazing fire, ready to explode into a fucking crescendo. I'm definitely not going to last long, but I'm going to make sure she gets the pleasure and relief she needs before I even think about coming. My tongue plunges into her mouth, swallowing every whimper, moan, and cry as I pound into her mercilessly. The sound of our bodies clashing together echoes throug
(Song: "Watch Me Burn" by Michele Morrone) Jaxon's POV It's been three days since peace was restored in our world. We've got eleven packs without Alphas, but with Mel's help, Dusk and Rubeus are finding worthy replacements to preserve the peace we fought so hard for. Not only has she proven her worth to the pack, but she eliminated the most corrupt Alphas there were and prevented Ayla from literally taking over the world. Goddess, I can't even describe how thrilled I am that the bitch is dead. The moment she stabbed Melanie, she signed her ticket straight to hell. I'm grateful to both Dusk and Rubeus for being able to see past her bullshit and save me. They had me worried for a minute, but they came through in the end. Today is my mate's big day. She's combining her Luna ceremony and the recruits' graduation ceremony, and tonight we're having a huge feast to celebrate. After the recruits swear their loyalty to me and the safety of the pack, Melanie sinks into the water b
Mel’s POVAs I reach Alpha Roman, the final Alpha, I'm shocked by the sight of a yellow band in his aura. Just a few days ago, at Dad's funeral, it was completely black. How did it change? As Dusk raises his hand to kill him, assuming there's no hope for redemption, I shout, "Stop!" Dusk takes a step back, and Ayla approaches him. She touches her fingers to his forehead. After a moment, she hums thoughtfully. "Swear your loyalty to me or die!" He gulps audibly. "Y-Yes, Queen Ayla." Ayla smiles with satisfaction as she turns to me. "You've done well, my child. I'll grant you the chance to bid farewell to your mate. Just remember, one false move and he dies immediately," she warns. We're both released, and I limp towards Jaxon, eager to touch him. But Ayla's voice cuts through the air, "No touching! I won't let you heal until after he's dead!" We mix together a potent concoction of sadness, fear, and dread, pouring it into each other's souls. I'm so sorry, Jaxon. I feel
(Song: "Awake and Alive" by Skillet) Mel's POV Ayla's blade digs deeper into my thigh, and although I know Jaxon can feel the pain too, I do my best to downplay it. Nina's howls echo in my mind, but I bite my cheek to suppress the urge to scream. How is Jaxon handling this so well? I feel like I'm about to pass the fuck out! "What are you doing, Ayla?" I hiss, frozen in place since she also has a dagger held to my throat. "I will create a new world for us. I will be it's ruler, and you will stand beside me, seeing into the hearts of my subjects. I will never be betrayed again!" she proclaims, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Release her!" Jaxon growls. With his attention diverted, Kellan seizes the chance to escape, shifting and toppling him to the ground. I watch helplessly as he forces my mate to kneel and presses his sharp claws to his throat. "Should I kill him now or later?" he asks, glancing up at Ayla. What the hell is going on? She...asked him to do this?
Jaxon’s POVI growl at Rubeus, Shadow peering at him through my eyes as I hunch down defensively. "What the fuck is going on?" His expression remains neutral, but there's an unknown emotion in his eyes. "Relax, Jaxon. There's something else that you need to know." "There's no time for this. The Alphas are coming, I need to protect her," I hiss between clenched teeth. "Ayla will ensure no harm comes to her." But his rigid stance suggests he's beginning to question it too. "Rubeus," I bark, my patience wearing thin. "What is it that I need to know?" With it just being the two of us, he suddenly lets go of the tough-guy act and guilt washes over his face. "She wiped your memories, Jaxon. You discovered her secret, and on the day Melanie was nearly killed, she erased everything you knew." My anger reaches its boiling point as I clench my fist, my body trembling with fury. How did she manage that without Melanie or me noticing? There weren't any inconsistencies with the m
