Ella’s POV Within an hour Hunter had packed a bag for himself and I had a bag packed for me. “Where are we going?” I asked him confused why we were leaving his own ball. “You will see. I want to make tonight special for you.” He said and I didn’t question it any further. On the drive to wherever Hunter was taking me we started talking about the old days when we were pups and about how I would make him save me out of his tree house as my prince charming. Then Hunter told me about what he had done for the last years while he was away and I realized that his training must have been hard and that he came back stronger than ever. He asked what I had been doing while he was gone and I told him not much other than school. I told him about my best friend Samantha and her mate Seth and Hunter said we should all get together and do something. I was excited to hear that he was interested in meeting my best friend and hanging out. It was amazing how easy it was talking to Hunter like the
Hunter’s POV My alternate life came flashing before my eyes as I marked my mate and the memories of the love we shared hit me hard. Ella had given everything up just so I would live again and for a chance our love would be strong enough to fate us to be mates in this alternate reality. “I remember.” I say out loud and stare into Ella’s beautiful orbs. Tears begin to fall from Ella’s eyes and I don’t know if they are tears of happiness or if they are tears for the reminder of what she has given up for me. Pulling her close to my body I embraced her hoping to take some of the pain from her but her pain became my pain with the loss of our son Ares. “I will give you another son I promise you.” I tell her as I kiss her forehead. “What about Destiny and Caleb?” She asks and I know there is nothing I can do to replace their loss. Ella had killed the Moon Witch and this alternate reality that the Moon Goddess offered her changed the past of every wrong the Moon Witch had done. Alpha
Ella’s POV The one-on-one time spent with Hunter this weekend was amazing and our mate bond hummed stronger than ever. Even though everything was perfect I felt like a piece of me was missing and I’m trying to hide that pain from Hunter because I chose this and it was my heartache to bare. I missed Caleb more than I ever thought I would and yearned to be with him once again. Monday couldn’t come any sooner and I just pray to the Moon Goddess that he still was my mate and that the three of us could have our twin pups again. It was Saturday night and I sat in front of the fireplace snuggled up in a blanket as the same storm came through. This time Hunter was prepared and brought firewood inside to keep the fire going. Hunter walks in from the kitchen and hands me a glass of wine and sits down beside me. “What are you thinking about, Love?” He says as he wraps an arm around me. I didn’t know what to say because I didn’t want him to know the pain that consumed me. “Are you regr
Ella’s POV It was finally Monday and we are pulling into Blue Moon and the feeling of being home warmed my heart as the packhouse came into view. The whole ride here my palms were sweating, and my nerves were on edge thinking about seeing Caleb for the first time in this alternate reality. Looking out the window at the packhouse Hunter broke the silence, “Are you ready Love?” as he took my sweaty plan in this hand giving it a gentle squeeze reassuring me that he would be here with me. As we walked up the steps that led to the front door a familiar individual appeared greeting us, “Welcome Alpha Hunter and Luna, I’m Beta Jesse. Alpha Caleb is cleaning up and will be with you soon. Can I get you something to drink?” Jesse asked as we followed him into the conference room that was off Caleb’s office. “A glass of bourbon for myself and a glass of wine for the Luna would be nice.” Hunter told Jesse and he excused himself to go retrieve the drinks. The room looked so different from
Ella’s POV Caleb grabbed me and pinned me to the wall our bodies touching and our lips only a fragment apart. I could feel his warm breath on my skin as it burned without his touch. He moved his head to the crook of my neck and inhaled my essence as he lingered there a few more seconds before he said, “Cherry blossoms, just like in my dreams.” My breath was hitched with his words but I found my will to speak, “You dreamt of me?” “Only every night since my first shift.” He said as his eye came back up to meet mine. “I never thought you were real.” “I’m real and I am here.” I tell him as I try to move into kiss his lips just so I could taste him once again but he moves away from me denying me. “You are mated to the strongest Alpha in our area. Nothing good will come of this.” He said and he pushes himself away from the wall and me. This is not the Caleb that I was once mated to and I wonder if it was because Baren had not raised him and that his real father had. I remember Ca
Chapter 108 Caleb’s POV My brain was on overload trying to process the now to the two pasts. Hunter had taken Ella back to our room to make her get some rest while I made my way to my office to get a drink. Nothing was making any sense to me and I waited for Hunter to join me to explain what the hell just happened and tell me where my daughter was. Two drinks in Hunter finally arrives at my office and pours himself something to drink and sits in the chair in front of my desk as he runs his hands down his face like he felt exhausted. “You need to tell me what the hell is going on.” I tell him hoping he has the answers to why my head feels like it does. “Ella tried to take the Moon Witch on by herself.” Hunter tells me. I stood up in anger and downed the rest of my drink. “What was she thinking? She could have got killed.” “But she didn’t. I did.” Hunter says and I looked at him confused because he looked alive and well to me. “What do you mean by you did?” I ask him as I cont
Ella’s POV It was a hot summer day as I sat on the tree swing overlooking a massive lake that lay before me. Hunter and Caleb were taking a swim with our twin pups, Destiny, and Ares. Caleb was right the Moon Goddess blessed us once again. My heart was full again having all our loved ones back with us. Hunter fulfilled his promise of buying the land between the packs and built one of the largest packhouses I have ever seen. It was necessary since we were combining three families and two packs. He even let me pick the sight on where to build and of course I chose to build it overlooking the lake on the property. Hunter was now the King of Alphas and he is respected by all where Caleb was co-Alpha to our packs. Hunter unfortunately had to travel a lot but Caleb was always here to keep me company and I believed that is why our situation works so well. “Luna.” I heard someone call and I turned around to see Kate and Samantha walking towards me or should I say waddling. Samantha and Ka
Ella’s POV As soft white transparent mist rose from the sparkling clear water, and the beautiful morning melody was being sung by the native birds, I sat on the large boulder that overlooked the majestic pond. The crisp autumn air filled my lungs, as a slight chill ran down my body till it reached the tips of my toes. I shivered as I pulled my leather jacket tighter around me trying to stop the cool breeze from penetrating through to my skin that was exposed to the elements. I found myself taking in the beautiful array of colors of the leaves that autumn had graciously provided. I took in a few more deep breaths as I thought about what could possibly happen. No, what hopefully will happen to me today. Today is not just any normal day for me. It actually is one of the biggest most important day of any werewolves’ life. It’s my eighteenth birthday the day I shift into my wolf and finally get to meet her for the first time. Tonight, when the moon is at its highest peak my body will sh
