"Aisling, that's impossible; how can you know if even father or mother didn't detect it? I was only with the Alpha recently."Ophelia couldn't believe it, but Aisling wasn't one to talk nonsense; she had been too premature in character since birth."Charlie told me, he's the most powerful here; that's why he knows before everyone else," Aisling confessed, worried for her sister, who was turning pale."Ophelia, what will you do? You know that everyone loves and protects the pup here, but the father, will you tell him about his child?Ophelia fell back against the sofa with her eyes wide open.She already had her mind in chaos, her life a mess, and now, because of her carelessness and negligence, a pup was forming in her womb.A pup she hadn't thought for a second about getting rid of. For werewolves, life was sacred.But would she be willing to tell Elijah? For what, what would she achieve with that?"Aisling, you... can help me... can hide it a little from the others... from our paren
"Alpha Douglas, what brings you to my pack?" Elijah blurted out, more rudely than he intended, but suddenly, seeing Estela with her father, a lousy feeling arose in his heart."Is this how you welcome old friends to your pack, Alpha Cohen?" Douglas raised an eyebrow, assuming his daughter must have thoroughly annoyed Elijah, but to let this pup disrespect him or his daughter to his face was unforgivable."I'm sorry. I was just leaving the pack and was a bit rushed, but of course, friends are always welcome; please come in." He gestured for them to enter the principal mansion of the pack, where he and other important council members lived."Hello, Elijah. How have you been?" Estela timidly and in a low voice asked, remembering their last unpleasant encounter very well."Fine, Estela, as always," he replied without giving much importance.Estela was going to be intense again, but a look from her father silenced her."Estela, why don't you walk around Alpha Cohen's pack? Didn't you have
"Ancient, there is an important report I must make," John asked permission to enter Lucian's office."Tell me," Lucian raised his head from the documents he reviewed."This morning, an unknown wolf was discovered on the pack's borders. The warriors immediately tried to stop the intruder, but he was too fast. Suddenly, he dropped this envelope, and the men who chased him all agreed. It seemed like a strategy on purpose to get this message to us," John concluded, passing him a sealed white envelope."We've checked it, and it doesn't seem to have anything suspicious, but please, be careful," John warned him worriedly, and Lucian inspected the paper a bit.The outside read, "For the Ancient of the pack, Lucian." It was obviously directed at him. When he opened it, there was just a note that said:"Be careful. Attack soon on the pack for hidden treasure. Prepare defense."Lucian understood it clearly from the start."John, immediately, it seems someone wants to warn us of a surprise attack
The last time, he understood that what seemed like a good idea to protect her wasn't necessarily the best option and that Ophelia could also get hurt."What's happening, Lucian?" Michael's voice came from the kitchen's back door.The blond entered, embracing the waist of a redhead at his side, who displayed a huge belly where two hybrid pups were developing, half vampire and half werewolf."It seems someone knows about Charlie," Lucian separated from his mate and took the note out of his jacket pocket to pass it to Michael."Nagy, dear, have a seat; your back must be killing you," Olivia quickly wiped away the few tears that had escaped and helped the vampire rest."It only occurs to me that the servant discovered our trick," Nagy looked at Lucian and told him her suspicions."Has the Dragon told you anything?" Lucian asked her."Charlie says it was the day he discovered we were destined," Aisling's tender voice suddenly came from the kitchen entrance."That day, his magic fluctuated
He had hidden like the rat he had been all these years among humans when, a few days ago, without further ado, he was captured on his way to his office job and brought by force to this pack.He thought that in the end, he had been caught by a member of his ex-pack, possibly his ex-wife's brother. However, arriving here, confusion overwhelmed him, and no matter how much he asked, no one told him anything.Now he realized he was just a bargaining chip."Thought we'd never see each other's faces again, did you?" Elijah spoke through clenched teeth, with his canines out from anger and a sinister smile on his face, and the man just shrunk his neck, trembling and scared as hell."I'm taking him to my pack," Elijah looked at Alpha Douglas, ignoring all the whining and pleading of the disgusting man inside the cell.He was fearless in hitting and torturing young, innocent women, but in front of a man like him, he was just a cowardly rat."I'm sorry, Alpha Cohen, but just as you need your guar
Elijah practically threw himself out of the moving car and strode into the main house of the pack.He had smelled her entering the square and before even reaching the building.Cintra looked up after being absent for so long."Ophelia!" his heartbeat, filled with hope and longing as soon as he saw her."Alpha Cohen," Ophelia gave him a very distant and diplomatic bow, and there was a lady beside him who looked at him with sharp and critical eyes, but Elijah cared for nothing else."Ophelia, I…""I came here to talk to you about an important matter. Do you think we can do it?" Ophelia halted all his enthusiasm with a severe expression."Of course, of course we can. Alex, make sure no one disturbs us," Elijah said, lowering his euphoria from seeing her, smelling her, and feeling her so close to him.He had missed her so much that his heart ached to death, and if he had endured, it was because he had his plans and motives, as always."You can talk to me about anything," he tried to sit n
The Omega found herself trapped between the huge, intimidating body of her Alpha and the locked door."Listen well, Ophelia Allen. You can hate me and curse me, but never ever dare to break our bond—I won't allow it!" Elijah hissed at her as he gripped her nape, where his temporary mark was fading.Ophelia felt how her treacherous body reacted to being so close to the only man who could revive every cell of her skin."Let me go! It's obvious you have a Luna; what do you expect that I'll be your mistress?" She tried to speak with hatred, but her voice became more cracked and weak than intended."I also have the right to find another man; I won't be anyone's second choice. Alphas are willing to take me as their woman, and I will have a permanent mark from someone who loves me for who I am, not from a traitor…" A muffled moan escaped her lips when Elijah's big hand covered her mouth to muffle her cry of astonishment and the sudden pain she felt at the back of her neck.Just the thought
"Leave me alone! You already have what you longed for, don't you? You groveled so much for his love that in the end, you got it," Ophelia yanked her arm free from the tight grip."You want me to leave you alone? You came into my territory, offering yourself like the cheap whore you are. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I might as well change my name," she took menacing steps toward the Omega with a cruel expression."I think you should behave, especially if you're going to be the Luna of the pack. Don't you think it's inappropriate to act like a classless market woman?" Malla stepped between the two, protecting Ophelia.She could feel the unbridled, raw hatred pouring out of that woman."The nerve of a filthy hybrid coming to lecture me. Ophelia, are you hiding behind the old ones now?" she taunted, and truly Ophelia felt like tearing that b*tch's face apart.Just as she stepped forward, determined for anything, she sensed other scents surrounding them.They were trapped in the al
