View MoreKierran didn't wait for Dianne's whimper of pain to fully escape her lips as she tried to fight off some mutt, not that he would ever allow anyone to harm his Luna. He lunged. Claws extended, he was a whirlwind of fur and fury aimed at the closest attacker, a hulking male with a savage grin. The air cracked with the sound of claws meeting flesh. The grin turned into a howl as Kierran ripped through the man's shoulder, sending him crashing back into the bushes.Leo, arrogance momentarily forgotten, stumbled back, eyes wide with terror. Not at Kierran, but at the monstrous silhouette that filled the doorway. Alaric.To think someone had the balls to attack his home was appalling to Alaric. Even worse, the thought of his unborn child in harm's way was enough to make him see red. How. Dare. YOU!!!” He all but shook with fury, no. He was fury incarnate. Black hair, usually kept in a loose braid, hung wild around his face. Blood-red eyes scanned the scene, taking in Dianne's form and the tw
As a fierce growl rippled through the air, a bloody Kierran and an angry Patrick emerged from the shadows, launching themselves right in front of their Luna. Patrick had shifted into his wolf form, and the blood clinging to his fur told a short story. Darrian's men were caught off guard, never expecting such a formidable defence. Kierran locked eyes with Leo, the man wielding another burning torch."You picked the wrong night to trespass," Kierran growled, his voice raw with primal rage. Behind them, Dianne stood fuming. Her rage could almost be tasted."It hasn't been a fortnight since our pack was announced, and here we are warding off strays," Dianne spoke, finally stepping down to address the trespassers. "The paint in the house hasn't even dried yet," Dianne added, looking up at the thin smoke emerging from her room."Enough! Call your hounds off and leave while I'm being nice!" Kierran growled. He was never one to be patient, but the man had a flaming torch. Anything and everyth
Alaric shook his head. No matter how right the word would feel on his tongue, he could not speak it—never. So he did the next best thing and focused on his half-brother's face. Rage was far better off than the unmentionable word. He welcomed the anger that brewed in his chest as he watched Eutychus's face light up when they locked eyes with Isadora. He looked happy, proud even. It was at this time that Alaric knew he wasn't angry at his father for kicking him out. Nor was he angry at Eutychus for not standing by him back then. It was jealousy. It should have been him; he was supposed to be the next alpha. She was supposed..."Alpha..." He heard Ceann's worried voice calling his name, and he thanked the Moon Goddess. His thoughts were wandering about. "Pheromones," Ceann added, and Alaric realized his thoughts were not the only things that wandered freely."Oh... sorry. We should leave. I can't stand it here," Alaric said, a poor excuse to head back to his pack and pray his head starts
The last few days had proven hectic for Isadora. They had finally arrived for her official union with Eutychus as his mate and Luna of the Nightfall pack. Just as Finnian had said, the elders had been incharge of everything ceremony related. From the venue set up to security outside. With no other family member but her father, she was with the lovely company of the maids that worked in the Alpha’s residence. She was pampered in all the ways she could think of , almost to the point of getting fed. Her father had gotten her the most exquisite dress and was perhaps the best thing about this whole arrangement. “ I can't believe this day has arrived, my only daughter is about to become a luna. We should thank your mother. ” Mr. Smith had said as he watched his daughter getting help with the dress. “Aren't you supposed to be crying? Won't you miss me? ” Isadora joked. “I should be asking you that, as a Luna, you will be too busy for mere peasants like me.” Her father replied with a blind
Dianne wasn't sure how to answer Alaric. To out right come out and say they may have stumbled upon a couples quarrel wasn't going to cut it.“ I will fill you in later. I am surprised there wasn't any bloodshed in the conference room.” Dianne deflected, choosing to steer Alaric’s mind away from her and Isadora. She couldn't quite pinpoint it but there was something going on between them. if that was the case...“What do you mean?” Luckily Alaric changed the topic.“The pheromones... our guards were pretty much on the brink of letting loose. even my mom was feeling tense when we drove up to the casino. dont get me started on how this floor reeked of carnage.” Dianne said, exaggerating the words she could, it made Alaric chuckle.“It couldn't have been that bad. As usual, Kierran was ready to rip both Eutychus and Darrian a new one. I regret stopping him but I wasn't in the mood for a brawl. ” Alaric said, sneaking a few bites from the bowl Dianne was eating from, this move however, h
Alaric and his council- friends rather- arrived first at the casino. They went straight for the conference room that Ceann had miraculously prepared. Water and other refreshments were set aside and a cushioned chair next to the window but not so far from Alaric’s designated seat was also available, a different set of refreshments next to it. Kieran was in his usual jovial mood as they walked in the large room.“Do you think Darrian will have a fit once he finds out this is our Casino?” He asked, a smile planted on his face. It was like he lived to torment Darrian, seeing as he couldn't just sock him in the face.“He is not the one we should think about, Eutychus will surely have a fit and Alpha Finnian... We’ll just wait and see.” Alaric replied and they took their seats.Sammy arrived a few minutes later with Patrick carrying some folders with them. He was blessed to have a sharp council, if he could put it lightly. These were his friends who had blindly and without question followe
Eutychus' office was starting to get stuffy with all the tension. Darrian had to think fast, one wrong answer and his plan would be thwarted. Lucky for him he had the perfect culprit for his crime. “What are you talking about? What reason would I have to forge your signature?” Darrian answered, hoping his face was expressionless, contrary to the nervousness in his stomach.“Don't play stupid, isn't this your invoice? why would the Pack’s treasury fund- ” Eutychus was getting enraged. It was enough that the day was already ruined and now his beta was getting smart?“ Cas, do you think we are that close that I would have the skill and need to forge your signature? and why would I forge the signature for something as trivial as Pack funds? I am your beta, these are privileges I get automatically.” Darrian replied, thanking the moon deities he had his expressions in check.“I don't remember signing off on this and Dora mentioned there were missing funds.” Eutychus seemed confused, now t
Alaric and his team practically sped out of Nightfall’s territories. One, because it felt like they were on hostile territory and second, Alaric wanted to show off his newborn pack to Dianne and her parents. He hadn't expected the meeting to be rosy or anything but the support from Dianne’s mother had felt so good. to know that there was someone out there rooting for him, someone who had some power in a rather powerful pack, he wanted nothing more than to make them proud. Of course there was another reason why Alaric saw it best to zoom out of the hall and back to his territory.“I thought that I would have to go berserk for a second there.” Kierran spoke on the passenger seat next to him. Behind him was Dianne and Patrick. Sammy and the elder rode with Dianne’s parents.“You and I both. Ugh! To think I would have been mated to that snob Darrian. But the look on their faces though, ahhh that was worth it.'' Dianne pipped in and Alaric did his best to not really react. Hearing Darrian’
While the couple enjoyed their risque moves, Darrian was seething in his car as he followed his new alpha. He was trying his best to wrap up his mind around the events of the day and most importantly, how he hadn't seen it coming. “I can't believe she chose to be his Mate! I- Mark? ” Darrian practically growled at his driver/ right-hand man. “Yes, sir,” Mark replied, not once peeling his eyes from the road ahead, he knew what was coming next. “Why did I not know of Alaric’s Pack business? No scratch that, when were you going to inform me of Dianne? What really is your job? Why do I pay you?” Darrian angrily ranted. Of all the things that had taken place that day he was mostly puzzled and greatly angered over the fact that his future mate, his perfect pick was now hitched to some random rogue. He needed something to be clear. There had to be a good reason as to why things weren't going his way. “Sir, nobody knew about young Miss Reeves’ affair with the rogue alpha, they have never
