Chapter 1
LOGAN — 4 years ago
I am standing here, watching as she packs her stuff. I have tried to talk to her, wanted to make her tell me what is going on in her head. I have tried to find out why my mate, my daughter’s mom, wants to leave me. I have been everything I possibly can be for her while she carried our daughter. I show her my love and my trust. I had her help with the pack as my Luna. I thought we were good. “Mia, sweetheart, please talk to me. What happened?” I try to take her into my arms, but she steps away.
“Don’t. I am done. I am tired of this.” She says, not even looking at me.
“Tired of what? Mia, please.” I beg her.
“Everything.” She sneers. “I hate this life; I hate being here. I hate being a mom. I wasn’t ready for that.”
“You know we can’t control what happens when you go into heat, Mia. We will manage. I will help you. Like I have been all the time. You’re not alone. She is ours.”
“I don’t want her!” she screams at me. And I look at her.
“Mia, please don’t do this. We can figure it out together,” I tell her.
“No, you can keep her. I don’t want her. I just want to travel and enjoy my life. Not think about a mate or a fucking baby.”
“We can still travel, sweetheart.” She doesn’t answer. She grabs her bags and turns to me.
“No, I don’t want to be a mother. I don’t want her or you.” I gasped, already feeling my heart being ripped
“I, Mia Andrews, Reject you, Alpha Logan, and my daughter Rosalie. I denounce my role as Luna for the Blood Moon Pack.” My heart is being ripped apart. Feeling her rejection, she also denounces the pack.
“Goodbye, Logan.”
She left. She left and didn’t think twice about it. She left, ripping half of my heart. Titan was whining in my head, wanting his mate. I was on the floor, fighting not to fall apart. A loud cry rips through me, and I realize it is coming from the nursery. I get up and walk into the nursery, and there in her cradle, my little, sweet, beautiful baby girl is crying. I know, without a doubt, that she must have felt the family bond break when Mia rejected her as her daughter.
I lift her up and hold her close to my chest. I know what I need to do, not only for my sake but for my daughter, who I now have to raise on my own. I can still feel the bit that is left of our bond after she rejected me. And I need to erase that if I am going to find out how to deal and move on. So I feel for the rest of our bond and find the mind link.
I, Nathan King, accept the rejection and denouncement of my mate and Luna, and as the mother of my daughter. I, with this, ban her from the Blood Moon Pack.’ I feel the last piece of my bond with Mia disappear.
I will devote myself to my little girl. Raise her to be a strong and kind person. I will fight to be everything she can possibly need in her life. I will do anything to keep her safe and happy. My pack must have felt what happened, but I cannot deal with that today. Today it’s about me and my little rose.
I am Logan King. I am nineteen and have been The Alpha of my pack Blood Moon Pack. The strongest pack there is in North America, since I was seventeen. Not only are we the strongest pack, but I am also the youngest Alpha and the strongest Alpha seen in several decades. Only a few know why or how, but my most trusted ones do. I am a descendant of the last lycan king that lived in our world five hundred years ago. No one had known that his daughter had given birth to a boy after she had been mated to a wolf. But instead of doing what every lycan that had found a wolf to be their mate, rejecting their mate.
She fell in love with the wolf, and four months later, she had secretly given birth to a son. They told everyone that the boy had not survived. Everyone had thought it had been for the best, but they didn’t know that because they feared her father would kill the child, they had given him to be fostered by a wolf couple, an alpha, and a luna that could not get their own children.
When the son had grown into an adult, he found his mate among the wolves. And that is how it went on, and the form my ancestors shifted into became wolves, instead of Lycans, but wolves that were much bigger and stronger than other wolves.
When I turned sixteen and didn’t get my wolf, my parents were worried, but the day I turned seventeen, Titan came to me, and I finally met my wolf. Everyone had been shocked by his size and the incredible strength and power that came from Titan.
A few months after I had gotten Titan, our pack was attacked by rouges, and even though we won, I lost my parents. Despite only being seventeen, I was chosen to be the Alpha, and from that day, I have done everything to keep my pack safe. And over the years, other packs and Alphas have come to fear me and stay away from any fight against me.
Chapter 2
OLIVIA - Present Time
“Harder, Olivia. I know you can be better than this.” My brother Matt with the demanding tone of a teacher.
Trying to satisfy him, I kick the bag harder and faster and do a series of mixed-up kicks and hits. Looking behind me, I see him nod approvingly.
“Much better. Come sit down.” And I walk over and sit down next to my classmates.
It’s Friday, and every Friday, he tests us. Sometimes like this where we show strength on the boxing bag. Other times we fight him or each other. My brother is an awesome teacher, but he is also trained by our dad, just like I am.
Our dad is one of the best warriors in the pack, and for him, it doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl. He says that we live in a dangerous world, and he thinks that every wolf should be able to fight, at least, to protect themselves. So since I was a kid, I had been trained solely by my dad until I was old enough to join the first training program.
Many say that dad is the best warrior, but when the old head warrior passed away, Alpha chose a close friend of his instead. Dad had said nothing and just went on with his life as usual. Taking care of Matt and me after our mom died from Wolfsbane, how she was poisoned no one knew.
Being Friday, our Alpha, Alpha Colton, came by to see how training goes. I had started to become very uncomfortable whenever Alpha was around. Because of everything, I would find him following me around with his eyes. And when I caught him doing it, he would wink at me.
Some pack members say that Alpha has started going insane after his mate and Luna was killed doing a rouge attack. They say he has become unpredictable and has ordered many women to his bedroom, where some of them didn’t leave from there alive. Everyone thinks he should retire and let his son Carter take over, but he refuses and says his son isn’t ready.
Carter was okay, not someone I had ever had a whole lot of contact with, but he seemed fair and friendly with everyone in the pack. He was 22 years old and had yet to find his mate.
I sat here, lost in my own thoughts, and a big shadow suddenly covered me. Looking up, I saw Alpha Colton looking down at me before sitting down next to me.
“You are a very skilled fighter, Olivia.” He said as he looked me over, his eyes checking out my curves.
“Thank you, Alpha,” I answered, trying to hide, but it was hard since I was wearing shorts and a sports bra.
“And very beautiful. You look just like your mother.” His eyes checked me out again, making me want to crawl out of my own skin and hide.
Before I can answer, my brother comes over and respectfully greet our Alpha before he tells me to go home for today. I jump up, grateful for being told to leave, and hurry out after saying my goodbyes.
Entering our little house, I go straight to my room and strip out of my training clothes before I enter my bathroom to take a shower. After the shower, I get dressed in ice-colored jeans and a tube top. I don’t usually use a lot of makeup, but I add a little mascara and lip-gloss.
Tonight is the eighteenth birthday of Wine from my class, so there will be a party tonight where everyone will wait and see the girl shift for the first time and if she finds her mate within the pack. Finding your mate is a huge deal. Your mate is your soulmate, the last piece of yourself. We can sense our wolves when we turn sixteen, but our wolves are not able to shift or recognize their mate before we turn eighteen. It does happen that a guy will sense his mate even though she is not eighteen. But most times that this happens, the guy waits without saying anything.
It also happens that mates reject each other. For the one doing the rejection, it means he or she won’t get a chance of a second chance, mate, which happens mostly if someone loses their mate. But not everyone gets a second chance.
We also don’t communicate with our wolves fully before turning eighteen. So we don’t talk all the time. Our communication is by emotions, which can be a little distracting if you get a sassy wolf. By dinnertime, I went downstairs and had dinner with my dad and brother. But it was unusual because we usually talk and have fun together. It was quiet and tense. I didn’t ask why assuming dad must have had a stressful day.
“Olivia?”
“Yes, dad?” I looked up at him.
“Tomorrow, I want you to pack a bag. We are going to visit your grandparents at the Blood Moon Pack. And we leave Sunday, so make sure to pack anything important you wouldn’t want to leave behind, as we will be gone for a while.” He tells me, making me look at him.
“Why? Is something wrong?” I ask.
“Your grandparents are getting old, and they miss you two. So we agreed we would go there for a while. It has all been agreed to by our Alpha to go visit some family and also the Alpha of the blood moon pack.” He explains.
“Okay, dad. I will pack tomorrow.” I answer, and he smiles.
When we are done eating, I help with cleaning up and then hug dad before I go to be at the party. Matt is joining me because maybe she-wolf could possibly be his mate, and he is becoming anxious about finding her soon.
After being at the party for an hour, we saw the girl find her mate among the newly shifted guys. And it is amazing to see how their souls pull them together in a warm embrace full of love. I want that when I turn eighteen in a month, to find my true mate whom I will share my life with. Again I was so lost in thoughts that I didn’t see the person approaching me before sitting next to me. And I am a little shocked to see Carter, the Alphas’ son, sit down next to me.
“Hello, Olivia.” He greets me.
“Hello, Alpha Carter,” I answered respectfully.
“Ah, I am not the Alpha, so just Carter.” He says, smiling, and I smile back
“I hear you and your family are going to visit some family from another pack.”
“Yes, we are,” I confirm.
“That is great.” He says, still smiling, and after a little while, he stands up and mingles with the many teens here.
After another few hours, Matt finds me, and we agree to go home. As we were leaving and on our way, we heard someone call our names, and someone came running toward us. Turning around, we are shocked to see it is Carter.
Matt, Olivia.” He greets us before continuing.
“I wanted to talk with you.” He says and looks at us.
“What can we do for you, Alpha,” Matt says, taking charge.
“Please, Matt, don’t call me Alpha, and I want to help you.” He says, and we look at him, me unsure about what he wants to help us with.
“When you go to visit the other pack. Don’t come back, especially you, Olivia. Stay there, where you can be safe.” He says.
“What do you mean?” I begin, but Matt cuts in.
“It is all under control Carter,” Matt says, looking at Carter, that looks back at him and nods. “Good, know I am sorry and trying to end it. I wish you all safe travels.” With those words, he left.
Chapter 3
OLIVIA
Matt had refused to say anything about what Carter had said and what he had answered him and just said I would understand soon. Dad had been asleep when we got home, so we went straight to bed.
When I wake up, the house is quiet, and I look at the time and see it is already 9 in the morning. This makes me wonder because usually, dad would have had us out running like we do every morning. Before going downstairs, I get out of bed and find my sweatpants and hoodie.
Halfway down the stairs, I hear dad and Matt talk.
“She knows something is up, dad.”
“What do you mean?”
“Carter came to us on our way home and told us not to come back and stay at Blood Moon, where she would be safe. I don’t think he meant any harm, though, but just wanted to help.”
“Carter is a good boy. He never liked the way his dad acted enter his mother’s death.”
“Yes, but now Liv is suspicious. I don’t think she actually knows what is going on with Alpha. But it’s clear she has been feeling uncomfortable.” Matt says.
“I will talk to her when we have left here and are safely in Blood Moon.”
There is no answer to dad’s words, and after that and they begin to talk about other stuff. I know something is going on, and this something has something to do with me. After a while I move again and enter the kitchen, seeing both of them sitting by the table where breakfast is served.
“Morning, Muffin. Did you sleep well?” My dad asks
“Yes, aren’t we going running?” I ask him, and he shakes his head
“I thought a day off was okay, so we have time to pack so we can leave in the morning.”
“Okay, dad,” I say without showing he is hiding something.
After breakfast, I go back to my room, find my biggest travel bag, and pack almost all my clothes in it. And in my smaller bag, I pack my personal stuff and a few items I have from my mom. I have a feeling that I will not be coming back here, so I want to be sure I have all the most important things packed.
After I am done, I walk downstairs again to find dad. I find him in the kitchen talking on his phone, so I sit down and wait for him to finish.
“That’s great, thank you. We will see you all tomorrow, probably in the late afternoon.” Dad says before hanging up.
“That was your grandma. She can’t wait to see you and Matt. Did you finish packing?” He asks.
“Yes, all packed and ready,” I confirm.
“Great. Then rest here at home today so you won’t be too tired to travel.” He tells me, and I nod my head. I know that in those words was a hidden message. Don’t go outside today.
“Okay, dad.”
I was so bored being here at home, so I wore my air pods and turned on my music app, and before I knew it, I was singing along. Dad didn’t leave the house either, and Matt was also home.
LOGAN
I was sitting in my office when someone knocked on my door. I told whomever it was to come in. The door opened, and my Beta Luca came inside the office.
“I talked with the Jones, they talked with their son-in-law, and he will try to get them here by tomorrow.” He informed me.
“Okay, get a house ready. See, if not, there is one close by the Jones family.” I tell him.
“Will do. I also informed the warriors doing patrols for the next few days, just to be on the safe side.”
“Thank you, that’s a good idea.” This is why he is my Beta, he always thinks ahead, and I don’t have to tell or remind him of things. And also he is my best friend.
We do a little small talking and talk about what to expect. A few days ago, I had a visit from Nina and Michael Jones, two highly respected members of my pack. They told me about how their Son- in-law had contacted them, asking for help. He told them that his pack Alpha was showing an unhealthy interest in his underage daughter, which worried him a lot, especially when his Alpha called him to the office. Offering him the role of being the pack head warrior if he would willingly give him his daughter to make his mate.
The Alpha had lost his mate years ago, and now he had set his eyes on this young girl. Not only was she not eighteen, but also she was a month away from her birthday. Not only is the Alpha in his 40s, but that is in no way acceptable to try to force someone to become their mate. So I had told them they were all welcome here without thinking much about it.
For some reason, my wolf was restless with this news. But his being restless is not something new. I don’t let him out as often as I should. Because I know he frightens most of my pack members. So I usually only let him out when I know most pack members are sleeping.
While Luca and I were talking, the door opened again, and before I knew it, I had my little Rose jumping up to sit on my lap. She is three years old now and turning four in 10 days.
“Hello, daddy.” She says happily.
“Hello, my little Rose. Are you ready for dinner?”
“Yes, daddy.”
We walk to the big dining room where pack members can choose to come and eat. After dinner, I took her up to my floor, and we spent time playing and later watching Beauty and the beast. She fell asleep before it was done, and after making sure she was sleeping deeply, I left the house to go on a little run. So I would have a good night’s sleep myself.
