MasukI've never been lucky. I lost my parents at a young age to false treason claims against the Redwood Pack. My cruel uncle Storm assumed my father's role of Alpha in the Pack, and ever since he became Alpha, my life has been a living hell. When he brings news of the Northern Alpha King hosting a ball to pick his Luna of the North, I know my chances are slim and didn't want to go. But my uncle Storm charges me to act as a spy for him. Gather Intel on the runnings of the Northern Pack and bring to him. Failure to do so? He'll have my head. When I meet Alpha King Elijah Lahiz, King of the North under weird circumstances, the mate bond snaps into place, and we're bonded to each other. However, after a night of passion, Elijah acts like I don't exist and picks my best friend, Raya as his Luna. Distraught and feeling betrayed, I run away to the South and into the patient arms of the Southern King Jeremiah, to escape my uncle's wrath. Jeremiah propositions an alliance to take down both my uncle and Elijah. But there's a problem. A huge one, really. I'm carrying Alpha Elijah's child.

It's only a ball," she says as she raises her eyebrow at me."A ball in which your king will announce you as his Luna. No one would blame you if you were nervous, you know."Raya rolls her eyes, her hand on her hip. The courtyard lights make the iridescent sequins in her gown glitter.Though the bunched skirts do a fair job of hiding her fuller figure, my eyes are not so easily fooled."Are you feeling nauseous at all?" I ask, glancing back and forth, waiting for someone to pop their head in and request Raya's presence."Not at this moment," she huffs.She paces back and forth, and I can't help but grin."How far along are you?" I ask, my own emotions getting the best of me. It feels like forever since I gave birth to my daughter, Meadow.I never thought I'd miss being pregnant—it certainly hadn't been easy. But whenever I see Aaron with Meadow in his arms, the desire for another child hits me
ElijahRaya bounces her foot nervously, and I let out a frustrated sigh."Will you stop that?" I beg, my nerves already frayed.She stops momentarily, turning to face me. I peer at her from beneath my hand that rests above my forehead, keeping the light away from my eyes."I can't help it—I'm nervous," she huffs."You are not the one proposing an alliance," I say with a groan."Are you having second thoughts?" she asks me, her bright eyes glazing as her eyebrows furrow in worry.I rise from my chair. Where are Aaron and Gabriela? I'd sent the beta to fetch him nearly an hour ago, just after Raya had arrived.I stand straighter as the memory floods me—the moment she'd shown up at my door, her hair slightly disheveled and looking like she'd barely slept. The strange yet somewhat familiar pull, like an invisible string, exists in the space between us.I'd called her inside if only because my wolf was suddenly antsy at the idea of leaving her outside my bedroom prison.I swallow painfully
GabrielaI swing my legs out of the bed, taking in the sight of myself in the mirror across from the bed.After our tryst in the greenhouse, Aaron was called away by Wren. I supposed it must have had something to do with Elijah, but when I questioned him once he'd returned to his quarters, he did not seem keen on talking.And quite frankly, I couldn't say I disagreed, because the moment his lips found mine and he pressed me against the wall, I lost all sight of everything too.My body still aches from our endless night of sex—something that I know now is pertinent to the bond solidifying itself.Having been down this road before, I should be wary, but Aaron's claim, his acceptance...it fills me with hope.I do not fear Aaron will break my heart or my soul. He has proven he is more than capable of guarding such things.A knock at my door pulls me from my thoughts, and I quickly find my dress.My heart beats faster, and the heat returns, and I know, without having to open the door, who
GabrielaI awake in Aaron's bed, alone. The feeling of elation I'd long forgotten hits me like a brick.I still couldn't believe Aaron claimed me. It was sudden, not unlike the first time I'd been claimed...by Elijah.But I couldn't find it in me to be angry with him when it felt so right.I'd had every intention of talking to him after my discussion with Elijah.I'd thought long and hard about the best way to proceed.Raya had said Elijah was purposefully avoiding starting a war, but the truth was that he still could. He wouldn't be the first king in history to do so, especially over an heir.Which was why I needed to see him. I needed to know if Elijah truly felt something for me beyond remorse or if his feelings were tied up in the life we'd created.But perhaps I also needed to know if there was anything left in the ashes of our dead flame.And the moment I kissed him, I knew. With Aaron's mark warm on my neck and Elijah's mouth cold against mine, I knew the fire between us had be
