Maleah’s p.o.v. Mack and I return from an assignment in the middle of the night and we slowly make our way down the hall past all the bedrooms. I open one after the other, just checking in on our Pups and all six of them are in a deep sleep. Levi and Kay are still awake, reading some files as they waited for me and Mack to return. I take a quick shower, before I crawl onto Levi’s body to rest my head on his chest and I am asleep before Mack joins us. I slowly open my eyes to find my Mates in a deep and peaceful sleep, I get dressed in the bathroom after taking a shower and sit down in my favorite chair. While I watch my Mates sleep, I think back on the past ten years. Ten years ago, we welcomed Kyler, Luca and Makena into our family and a year later we welcomed Kayla, Londyn and Maverick into our family. Kyler and Kayla look just like Kay and it wouldn’t surprise me if they are of the Beta bloodline. Luca and Londyn look just like Levi and I think they are of the Gamma bloodline. Makena and Maverick might look like Mack, but they are from my Assassin bloodline. Both of them shifted on their eighth birthday and I am glad we told our Pups about my bloodline.Blood Crescent Pack has been working for the Elders, they know my true identity and No I didn’t tell them. Elder Jorge went to Alpha Bradley’s Pack after someone reported him missing and he started his investigation in the Alpha office, where he found a file on my bloodline. With me being the only connection left to the Royals, the Elders asked our Alphas to help them to uphold the Law. We made a few demands before we agreed to their request and I like the idea that I get to decide whether or not we accept an assignment, that was a demand from our Alphas. “Goodmorning, Angel.” I hear Levi whisper from the bed and I smile at him as he gets of the bed. He kisses me before he walks into the bathroom and I head out of the room to go to the kitchen to get the coffee started. Each door I pass on my way to the stairs are still closed and it will take at least an hour before the first one wakes up. Our Pups will celebrate their tenth and ninth birthday today and I can’t wait to see the whole family together again. Mom visits once every three months, it took a few years for us to have a normal relationship and I still don’t regret taking that first step. We had a few long talks during those first few years and I am glad Mom was willing to tell me her side of the story. Dad found another connection when our youngest triplets were two and it is amazing to see him so happy with Maya. Both of them have grown Pups and don’t want to start a new family, they would rather spoil their Grandpups.Once the entire family has arrived, there is a buzz running through the house and there isn’t a place in the house where you can sit in peace and quiet. I enjoy every moment of the day, but I am grateful when everyone leaves for the night. Kyler might be our oldest, but after a day like this he is a real Momma’s boy. He crawls onto my lap and is sleeping in my arms in a matter of seconds. Luca and Maverick lean against me and both of them are fighting against the sleep that wants to consume them, losing that battle after mere minutes. Our Daughters have crawled into their Fathers laps and while Makena and Londyn are softly speaking, Kayla is sleeping in Kay’s arms. These are the moments I cherish every single day, my Mates and my Pups. Fortune is watching our Pups through my eyes and I can see Commander, Titan and Largo looking at our Pups through their Humans eyes. It takes another half hour for Makena and Londyn to fall asleep and after they have put the girls down in their beds, my Mates return to get the boys. I follow them up the stairs and I walk into each room to kiss their forehead, to tell them that I love them. It is a routine I repeat every night, unless I return in the middle of the night from an assignment and I will do it for as long as they will allow me. I have everything I ever dreamed of, but thought I would never have and I thank the Goddess every single day for the gifts she gave me. My Mates and our Pups are the biggest treasure I have gotten in life and I can’t wait to see our Pups grow up, to find their own Mates. Each year, on the birthday of our triplets, I get to look back on an amazing year and we see them taking after their Fathers more and more. Their training to become this Pack’s leadership is going good, but we fear that Makena will lose her temper one day. Kyler and Luca have a deep and solid bond with Makena, just like it should be for triplets. It becomes a concern the older they get though, protecting their baby Sister when they shouldn’t. I just hope that she will outgrow this attitude or we might have some problems down the line. * Turn the page and find your next strong female lead—Dallas. On my eighteenth birthday, I caught my fated mate pounding into my adopted sister like a beast. He always said that Lucy was much prettier than I was. He thought he can break the bond the Goddess forged between us while get away with it. Lucy, on the other hand, has made it her goal to take every thing from me since the first day she entered our house. Well, let her think she has taken the Luna position from me. I will make them pay for what they did.“I, Dallas, reject you, Nico, future Alpha of Shadow Valley Pack, as my Mate.” I rejected him in front of the entire pack while he and Lucy were still at it. Then I walked out and went to the Elders. There, I trained and rose as the first female Squad Captain. I will prove to the world that a female can fight and lead. A year later, I walk into Nico and Lucy’s Alpha and Luna Ceremony, with my face shrouded in shadow. My newly found Beta Twin mates and my Elite Warriors flank my side. A hush falls over the place as everyone shivers under our dominant aura. “What the fuck is the meaning of this?” Nico asks. I grab the sides of my hood, revealing the face they never thought they'd see again. Gasps echo through the crowd. “Surprised? Thought I’d let you off the hook for breaking our bond?” I smile coldly. “Dallas?” my sister goes ghostly white as I hold up the Cancellation Order in my hand. “Alpha succession invalid; Nico can’t take over the Pack without a true Mate-bond by his side.”
