Future Alpha Romero's POV "Lori, baby. Come to me. Come here, my fated Luna." I hold out my hand, calling her to me pleadingly. She hesitates, a confused look on her face. The witch nudges her from behind and she finally moves. She walks towards me with cautious steps.And then I noticed that her clothes were odd. She is dressed in black, and the cap does not match the event at all. But then she has a bow and arrow in one hand and a spear in the other. And I immediately understood what she was up to. This Luna is still fighting for her place in my life. When she was a few steps away from me, she suddenly sobered up. She looked wildly at the props in her hands and let them go, dropping them to the floor. The sound was sharp in the silence. Shaking my head, I grip her upper arms and pull her into my embrace.Our lips meet in a searing kiss and I have to stop myself, mindful of our guests who are still waiting in silence. "You didn't have to
Sixteen years later...It's a family reunion, Alpha Alvarez and Luna Meg have just arrived in Eclipse Howl, accompanied by their Betas Zalev and Louise of Blue Blood. They are guests of Lori and Romero for the annual family reunion. Cliara and Hedrick are on their way, late as usual. They keep complaining that it is high season and they are having trouble finding seats on the plane. They have turned down several offers from Romero and Zane to pick them up by jet. This couple just likes to arrive late to make a grand entrance. Beta Jace desperately tries to keep the barbecue going until the meat is done. He has already burned himself a few times due to his inexperience. But he is determined to prove himself, and Romero stands with his hands at his sides, shaking his head as he watches his heroics. "Please Latore, wear a shirt anyway. You are on your own time, a shirt is uncomfortable at a barbecue," Lori tries to persuade her
"Make your move, skank".With my bow and arrow at the ready, I wait for Louise to go on the attack. I'll kill her with every move she makes, that's a promise. How dare she snack on something that belongs to me? Today she will learn the consequences of her insolence! "Is it you, Lori? I recognize your voice. Why are you doing this? I never meant you any harm."I grin, she was able to recognize my voice, but I have no intention of removing the scarf and revealing myself. "The Alpha is mine! And you had the audacity to touch him with your filthy paws. I was too late to stop you from having sex with him this time, you were clever enough to avoid my attention," I growl icily. "But this is your first and last time. You can choose. I kill you right now or you banish the pack and run out of the borders. Your choice!" Her eyes go wide, as I expected. She never thought I could be so violent. The quiet girl on campus, few have ever heard me speak. "K
The next day, I maneuver my luxurious Mercedes-Benz into the parking lot.As usual, it is the center of attention on the campus, with heads turning to admire my baby for the umpteenth time. Alongside Alpha Romero and Beta Jace's Cadillac Escalade and Maserati Levante Trofeo, my ride is the most expensive in the car park, but actually in the pack as well. As the most talented marksman of all the packs in this region, I have already made a small fortune at the early age of 15. Online, I offer my services as a private detective and sniper for the Alphas of the various pack and mates who suspect their better half of infidelity. Without revealing my identity, I take orders and execute them with perfection. So far, I have only satisfied clients and they were generous in paying my hefty fee. My parents almost freaked out when they saw the pricey car I bought for myself a few months ago. My father immediately wanted to see proof of my income. I exp
Future Alpha Romero's POV This is unbelievable! Another she-wolf ditched me and disappeared.It really happens too often now to keep ignoring it. Every time I try to have a date with a woman, she changes her mind at the last minute. A few of them even leave the pack with their families for fear of repression from the Alpha family for turning me down. And this time it's Louise, the head warrior's daughter. Here I am, thinking she was in love with me. She was a good match for me and for a moment I hoped she would turn out to be my fated mate in three years when I turn twenty-one. Louise is the only woman who has made it to my bed. Our sex was wonderful, she was very experienced and kept me going all night.Only now do I know why my Beta is constantly chasing females and has an insatiable appetite for sex. Since he was 16, Jace has had many dates and one-night stands, with she-wolves even fighting to get into his bed. When he talks about his e
Still Alpha Romero's POV From the raised stage, I stare over the pack that has responded in large numbers to my father's call for this meeting. There is much speculation about Louise’s disappearance, her parents sit in the front row. Their eyes are red-rimmed, it is clear they are grieving for their daughter. The meeting hasn't started yet, so I head down the stairs to Head Warrior Henry, his mate and their son. Mykel is my best friend and when his father retires, he will succeed him. As I approach them, I can almost feel their aura turning hostile, but they suppress it. Humiliating the future Alpha will not work in their favor."Head Warrior, auntie. I am so sorry for what happened," I apologize. "I did not behave like a gentleman, I should have taken Louise home. And then we would know where she was now". The regret in my voice is genuine, I have known these people all my life. It is definitely embarrassing to admit that I
Still Alpha Romero's POV "A witch? Is that even possible?" Bewildered, I look at my Beta. We are now sitting on the private balcony of my apartment. He shrugs nonchalantly. "What's the harm if our parents go that way with their research? We'll just do our thing and get on with our plan," he points out laconically. "But whatever is going on, Louise is not dead. We would definitely have felt the break with the pack link if that was the case". "No, I didn't feel anything and my father didn't indicate he noticed anything either," I indicate certainly. "She's alive, that's for sure. She might just reappear one of these days after all. But we can't just sit back and wait. She could be in danger and need help. We have to take action". Jace nods in agreement. "Yes, I think more of the latter is the case here. I will ask Meg today itself if she is willing to cooperate. We will also offer her an upfront fee and if we find out who or
Loriann's POV "Lori, I have a date with Alpha Romero." A wide smiling Meg dribbles onto the chair opposite me. Her blue eyes are bright and her long black hair moves with the shake of her head as she looks at me. It is clear that she is thrilled with this opportunity that many long for but were too fearful of the consequences. Right now, I am sitting in the school cafeteria at our regular place. I had been concentrating on reading a science website on my iPad while waiting for Meg to finish with the teacher. Her exclamation is like a sword slicing through my body. 'Goddess, not my only friend. Not Meg,' I pray to myself. I would hate myself if I had to get rid of her too. Like Louise, I would have to kill her, since her parents would most definitely not move out of Eclipse Howl. They are high ranking, maybe not of the highest level but still important enough for the pack. With widened eyes, I stare at her while frantically trying to cont
