“Dorian, that fucker put his hands on my mate! The mother of my son! He tried to r**e her!”
“But he didn’t. And if I heard correctly, she wasn’t his target. He just went into the wrong room. It also sounds like your mate did a number on him and chose to spare his life. Going against her by killing him yourself only shows that you undermine her judgment.” “What!? What if that was your wife!”
“I wouldn’t need to worry. Allie can handle herself. More than likely, she would have done the same thing. Beat the s**t out of him and let him live. Not to show him mercy but humiliation. Males getting beaten by females is one of the most humiliating things they can endure. During training it’s one thing but, when push comes to shove, no male wolf wants to get his a*s kicked by a female. Also, I would ask my wife what she wanted to do. Her opinion is important, and I always ask for it.” “You?! You ask for your wife’s opinion? You never used to ask for a female’s opinion on anything.”
“I’ve changed a lot in the last four and a half years, Wyatt. Allie changed me for the better and she keeps Bandit at ease. Allie isn’t just my mate or my wife, she’s my Luna. Decisions that affect the pack are made by us, and not just me. Allie’s opinion is one of the most important. Even more than Brandon and Mikey’s.” I was shocked. Dorian valued his wife’s opinion more than his Beta and Gamma. I had never heard of such a thing. Most Alphas rarely asked for their Luna’s opinion on pack politics. “I know you haven’t been Alpha as long as I have, but I would think that after ten years, you would have figured out that a Luna has just as much say in pack politics as an Alpha does,” he said, almost as if he read my mind.
“…”
“Look, Wyatt, I’m not going to sit here and berate you about getting your s**t together as an Alpha, because that’s not why I’m here. But I will tell you this: sending your mate to another pack, thinking that you’re protecting her, was the wrong move. Yes, she’s powerful, and she wanted to go to protect those two girls you found, but your a*s should have gone with them from day one. I could have easily met you there and not here. What you’re doing is excluding your Luna from important pack decisions and torturing both of your wolves by being apart. Why the f**k do you think I brought Allie with me? Not because she wanted to come, but because being away from her isn’t good for my emotional state.”
“What? Your emotional state?”
“Yes, you f*****g asshat, my emotional state,” he snapped at me. “I have no problem admitting it. My wife is my rock, and she keeps me sane. I haven’t been away from her for more than a few days because of work. Stop putting your pack in front of your mate. Without a Luna, a pack will eventually fall apart because she is the glue that keeps a pack together. Not the Alpha.” I didn’t know what to say to him. No one ever said any of this s**t to me before. Not even my parents.
I had originally asked him to see if we could let go of the past and to apologize for the s**t I did ten years ago, but I guess that wasn’t even necessary anymore. If there was one thing I knew about Dorian, he doesn’t bother with dishing out life advice unless he actually cared. I guess I had a lot to think about. .
***Milan’s
P.O.V.***
Labor was no joke, and I’m grateful my mom stayed with me the entire time. What I thought would take several hours only ended up being about four hours; my pups wanted out, and they wanted out fast. I was simultaneously excited and scared about finally reaching this milestone in my life. I never dreamt that I would be a mother, but it was like I told the Desert Moon Gamma. After seeing everyone have a pup, my ovaries started to hurt with want and envy. So, I had finally convinced Jason for us to actively start trying. He was over the moon, and that alone made me happy as well.
What I didn’t anticipate were twins right off the bat, but I guess being a fraternal twin explained the higher probability. Though, I half expected it to come from Angelo instead. Something else I didn’t expect, most of all, was my twins to come out one right after the other and covered in fur. “Whoa, what the f**k!?” I heard Jason react.
“Oh my goddess,” my mother gasped. Dr. Andrews held one pup while Serina held the other. Both pups were in wolf form. My eyes welled up with tears, and I’m anything but a crier.
“My stars-Jade wolves,” Dr. Andrews whispered.
“f**k,” Jason grunted when he saw our pups. As soon as he said that, I watched as both pups immediately shifted into their human forms without so much as a peep. Shifting was painful even for adults, and yet, my children did it with ease. “What … What does this mean?” I asked as I stared at them, feeling crippled by the weight of so many emotions threatening to overwhelm my postpartum state.
“Gamma, we must inform the Alpha,” Dr. Andrews said, completely ignoring my question. Jason looked at me, and I could see the fear in his eyes.
“No one speaks of this to anyone outside of this room,” was all he uttered before leaving the room. I was stunned. Dr. Andrews shook his head and handed over my son while Sirena passed over my daughter. Both opened their eyes, and I was startled to see they both had green eyes. Jason had brown eyes, and I had hazel eyes. How did our children end up with green eyes? What did all of this mean?
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
Rare and once-in-a-lifetime events seemed to be common occurrences these days. To say I was completely gobsmacked by the events unfolding would be an understatement. Jason’s and Milan’s pups were Jade wolves-the exact same type of wolf as Xavier’s daughter. I knew this wasn’t completely unheard of, but it was hard to wrap my head around the fact that I just added twin Jade wolves to my pack when I already have three Primordials and a light witch. This was such a f*****g disaster. A blessing, of course, but a disaster nonetheless.
I sent for Dorian and his ranked members; the birth of Milan’s pups changed everything. The stakes were even higher now that I had two more pack members in danger if Marvin found out about the Gamma pups.
It wasn’t long before they showed up at the hospital, but I just couldn’t find it in me to tell Dorian what was going on. I still couldn’t believe it myself. My mind was a jumbled mess as I tried to find the right words; would Dorian even know what a Jade wolf is? As soon as I gathered my thoughts, his Gamma female spoke first and asked about the Jade wolf. So much for breaking the ice.
“Jade wolf? Sin, what are you talking about?” Allie asked her.
“That’s what both Alpha Wyatt and his sister have on their minds. That’s why he’s all nervous and looks like he’s about to faint. Milan’s pups are Jade wolves,” she answered.
“Sin, you need to stop reading other people’s minds!” Dorian scolded her. She bowed her head with respect.
“It’s fine, Dorian. Rylee does it all the time too. It’s hard for them to shut it off. Don’t be angry with her, I’m glad she brought it up. I honestly don’t think I could have done it myself without vomiting,” I said to him. “Wyatt, are you telling us that the newborn Gamma pups are, in fact, Jade wolves?” Dorian reiterated.
“You’ve heard of them?” I asked.
“I have. Rare wolves born in wolf form with the ability to shift from infancy. They’re almost black in color with a green hue when light reflects at a specific angle. Green eyes in their human form regardless of the parents’ eye colors, and some I’ve heard hold special abilities.” “What?!” Melody, Kendrick, and I all exclaimed.
“I’m guessing you didn’t know about that last part?” Dorian asked, and we all shook our heads. I wondered if Jennifer had a special ability that no one knew about. She was taken as a child, so it was definitely a possibility. “Wyatt, why are you so worked up about this? It’s a blessing to have a Jade wolf, let alone two.”
“Dorian, an ally Alpha by the name of Xavier has a daughter, and she’s also a Jade wolf. She was kidnapped 20 years ago, by the same man we are after. She was sold a couple of years ago according to Lexie and Lanie,” I told him.
“Lexie and Lanie are the two girls you’re helping?” he asked, and I nodded my head.
“Our assumption is that she was trafficked when she turned 18. Xavier was blackmailed into helping the trafficker, a Canadian Alpha by the name of Marvin Archimedes. He promised Xavier the information on his daughter’s whereabouts in exchange for bringing him to Lexie and Lanie.”
“I see. You think that if Marvin finds out the Gamma pups are Jade wolves then he will come for them since he’s done it before.” I nodded my head.
“Wyatt, where is this Marvin person?” Allie asked me.
“Honestly, I have no clue.”
“Alpha Wyatt, I don’t understand,” his Beta began to say, “if you knew this man was potentially a trafficker, why is he not behind bars awaiting an investigation?” “We don’t have concrete proof,” I replied.
“I thought this pack’s Luna could read minds?” Sin interjected.
“She can, but-“
“But what!? There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence to hold him until a full investigation was conducted,” she said, cutting me off.
“Gamma Sin, not everyone in my pack knows what Rylee can do.”
“What!?” all of Desert Moon shouted at me.
“Wyatt, what the f**k!” Dorian growled at me. “Are you telling me that you’re keeping your Luna’s abilities a secret from your own pack? Her pack?”
