Thank you for waiting! I know some of you are asking if she was a blessed wolf. No, she is not. Blessed Wolves are rare, and only Catherine/Purity came out blessed as of this moment (in this pack), but it doesn't make Heaven less special. Some of your questions will be answered in the coming chapters (including why she shifted so so late), so hang in there! Thank you for all the gems, love, and happiness you shared with us in yesterday's chapter! You are all amazing! 💗
LEXI. “Austin…” My grip on his shoulders tightened as I continued to bounce up and down his lap while my mate’s hands were on my hips, harshly guiding me to meet his every stroke. Sweat formed on my forehead and everywhere in my body as another orgasm built up within me. I already had my release in this position, and I wanted Austin to come as well, but it seemed the sex god I was straddling had no intention of showering me with his seeds until I orgasmed more, which would make me too weak. I had no idea how long we’d been here. All I knew was that his mark was sitting proudly on my neck. It still stung, but it was only adding pleasure to my ecstasy. And I wanted nothing but to mark him back, but I had no idea how to make my fangs come out. It seemed Heaven was too exhausted or too horny to remember we hadn’t marked Austin yet. “Oh, Goddess!” I moaned wantonly as his cock hit my walls. He kept hitting my walls and g-spot, and I knew soon I would be trembling again. “You love
LEXI. -------------------------- My dear Lexi, When you read this letter, I am already gone, and hopefully, you are happily married or mated. I wish I could be there. I wish I could walk you down that aisle and meet the mate you chose so I could tell him to take good care of you. But I knew I couldn’t. I feel my days are over, and it will only be a matter of time before I go. I’m sorry, Lexi. I wish I could stay. I wish I could be stronger. I love you with all my heart, and I want to be there at every milestone of your life, but I can no longer find the strength to wake up each day. Please know that I tried my hardest every day for you. Ever since your father died, I have just lost my purpose in life. But please don’t think I loved you less. But without your father, I feel a big part of me has gone missing. He was my only steady rock, and I know you will not understand until you find your own rock—the only thing constant that keeps you going. I hope you find him. I hope he is
AUSTIN. The Gamma Camp started early, as usual, but Lexi didn’t come with me right away. I let her sleep. She was emotionally and physically drained. She just shifted, and females usually need more time to recuperate. Plus, the letter from her mother had kept us awake all night. In fact, I didn’t get to sleep at all. Lexi dozed off in my arms, and after I tucked her to bed, there were only a few minutes left before I had to wake up. But doing my task without any rest was nothing new. So I just remained by her side, watching as she softly purred in her sleep. I couldn’t believe we finally came to this part. It felt like it had been years since we decided to give this relationship a try, and after too much turbulence along the way, I honestly did not expect we would have something amazing like this waiting for us. Lexi was someone I didn’t know I needed. But she turned out to be everything my whole being wanted and lived for. It wasn’t an easy journey, especially for her, and pa
ALPHA JACE. Everything has been quiet so far. I had seen faces in the Council territory that I didn’t want to see, but so far, none of them had taken any steps to create any chaos. Maybe because they knew everyone was watching Dad, and I was sure half of the people observing the counting of votes were from Dad’s side. But, of course, it didn’t change the fact that I was still worried. Not just for Dad, but for everyone here. It was like waiting for a big blow to come. If they wanted to eradicate many packs, they needed to attack this territory tonight, as almost all the current Alphas were here. I stood in one corner, talking with Ledger, Cameron, Walker, Tyler, Alonso, and Kairo, while Amara was with Cassidy. All the current Alphas and Alpha Heirs in our circle were here except for Zach, who came at the last minute to vote but went home afterward. I was sure his parents forced him again. He didn’t even say “hi” to anyone. Cyrus also came and voted, but the moment Uncle Adan an
AUSTIN. It had been four days since Lexi, and I found out we were mates and three days since Uncle Jake was officially declared the new Council Head. His oath-taking will be in a few days, and the celebration will be on the same day at the Council territory. I had a camp to manage, so I would not be able to attend. But I tried not to feel bad about it. This was a great victory for all of us, and I wouldn’t let my inability to be part of the ceremony dampen my mood. Everything I ever wanted had fallen into place. I shouldn’t be complaining. Besides, Uncle promised that when it was my and Lexi’s union ceremony, he would make sure to attend it. Speaking of our union, Lexi and Mom didn’t waste time at all. Just a day after she shifted, they were already talking about the union. After consulting with Luna Amara, we had a schedule fixed, and it would be a week after the camp was over. It would be a simple ceremony to be attended by family and friends. This still felt surreal for me.
AUSTIN. I went to the border with the goal of letting Alpha Nicolo know Jace was not around and sending him on his way so I could enjoy dinner with my mate. But by a twist of fate, it seemed dinner had to be delayed. A part of me wanted to prolong the conversation as I honestly felt Nicolo was a good person, and Noelle reminded me of Catherine — timid, but when she started talking, it was hard to make her stop. But just when I thought I had no more reason to hold them here, something unexpected happened. It seemed to me that Noelle scented her mate. What were the odds that it was one of my men coming out of the office or one of those inside the cars? The color in Noelle’s face drained as she stepped backward until Nicolo’s chosen mate held her arms, making her halt in place. And if I thought that was it, I was wrong. Nicolo was growling lowly, his hands balled into tight fists, and his chest was heaving. His eyes dilated and they were fixated on the car that had just arrived.
FUTURE GAMMA GISELLE. When they invited me to eat dinner outside of the Black Shadow Pack territory, I initially declined. I was not up for it, and I wanted to go to my room early so I could call Ledger. But Cindy, one of the female warriors, came and insisted I join them.I told Ledger about it. He told me to go, but to make sure to be careful and to call him once I was back. He was also dining out with his family because it was Jillian’s birthday, his younger sister, and she requested to eat out at her favorite restaurant. So, even if I was not up for it, I went along. I met Kenneth in the lounge area and asked if he was joining. He said no, as he didn’t want to be anywhere. I already knew why. He didn’t want to meet any females until he could talk to Noelle, his girlfriend. Kenneth had been avoiding going anywhere because of her, terrified of meeting his mate, and he was still hoping they would end up together even if he knew claiming Noelle meant bumping and crashing into a big
FUTURE GAMMA GISELLE. “Giselle…” Sabrina’s voice was broken. I swiftly turned back around, and my heart broke at the sight in front of me. “What are you doing? Stand up…” My tears fell as I looked at her on her knees, holding her stomach as her shoulders shook from her cries. She raised her palms, motioning for me to stop approaching her before she spoke again. “I never begged for anything in my whole life. Everything was given to me on a silver platter. But I will beg you: please let him go. I don’t know what will become of me if I lose him. I can promise you that I will take care of him. I will love him with all of my being…” “Sabrina, please stand up.” I approached her, holding her elbow, but she wasn’t budging. Instead, she grabbed my arms and looked me in the eyes. “I’m sorry. I want him, but I know how he values his honor, and I don’t think he will reject you. I’m not a bad person, Giselle. I will be forever indebted to you…” Her words were cut short when we heard a kn
