Alpha Bane''s POV


    We had travelled for several hours and it was beginning to get dark. The sun had turned slightly red and looked to be moving slowly out of sight.


    I took a look at the surroundings and I could recognize where we were. We were only a few hours away from the Castle and I couldn''t wait to get there.


    We stopped at intervals during the journey as we needed to take a few breaks. Some were for us to get down from the carriage and stretch our legs a bit, while the others were for us to get some food so we wouldn''t die of hunger.


    If we hadn''t stopped to take those breaks, we''d have probably been at the Castle already. Nevertheless, they were worth it and they had to happen.


    "Can we take a final break here?" The driver asked, on getting to the closest stop to the Pack.


    I thought about it for a while, knowing that there was no other stop after that one until we''d got to the Castle.


    "No," I replied, eager for us to get back home quickly. "We should keep moving. I need us to get to the Castle on time. When we get there, we can get all the rest and food that we want."


    The driver kept moving and I stared down at Aurora who was already fast asleep. She''d been sleeping for so long and I guessed it was because she had cried too much.


    After shedding a lot of tears, she was bound to be that tired. She also didn''t take so much food as she imed shecked the appetite for it, regardless of how much I begged her to eat something.


    I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead as I gently caressed her hair. She looked so beautiful and vulnerable and it felt so good to have the task of keeping her safe andfortable.


    We were finally going to be together in my Pack and I thought about what our future was going to be like. I was the Alpha and soon, she was going to be unveiled as the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. I wondered what it would be like to rule the Pack with her by my side. "Such a beautiful sight it would be," I thought to myself.


    I wondered which part of her the people were going to see more; the soft, tender, loving side of her or the tough, no-nonsense side of her, or even abination of both. It was only time that could reveal that and I hoped she was going to make a great Luna, just as I''d always thought she would.


    As my mind kept wandering from one thing to another, I remembered something very important. I had been thinking so much about how we were going to rule and all but almost forgot the most important part of our future; children. I had no idea if she wanted to have kids and how many she was willing to have.


    "Sir, we''ve arrived at the Castle."


    I was cut short in my thoughts by the voice of the driver who had parked the carriage right in front of the Castle. I didn''t know how many hours had passed with me deep in my thoughts. It was a delight to know that we were finally home.


    "Hey, love," I whispered, gently tapping Aurora''s arm to get her to wake up. "We''re home."


    Aurora''s POV


    I felt a tap on my right arm and I immediately woke up. "Ah," I voiced out, still eager to get some more sleep.


    "We''re home," I heard Alpha Bane say, as I slowly sat up to make sure that we were indeed at the Castle. We were. We had finally gotten to the Blue Moon Pack; my new home and I just wanted to get to the room and sleep some more.


    Alpha Bane got down from the carriage and helped me alight too. Then we both began to walk toward the building.


    To my surprise, I saw that the Castle grounds were already filled up as maids came toward us to wee us. It seemed a bit strange to me because it was already night.


    Then I spotted a womaning out of the house and I immediately knew who it was. It was Dn''s mother and she wasn''t even trying to pretend. She gave me a dirty eye and then winked at me with a very sarcastic grin and I found it rather ufortable.


    "Can you see the way that this woman is looking at me?" I asked Alpha Bane as he turned to look at her.


    "Don''t pay any attention to that woman, my love. She isn''t worth it at all."


    He drew me in and kissed me which calmed me down a bit. I loved that he loved


    to spontaneously do that. It always surprised me in a very pleasant way.


    He grabbed my hand and we calmly began to walk toward the building as the maids walked behind us with a few still in front of us.


    "Hey," I greeted some of the maids, waving my hands at them as we walked and they did the same. Well, they also bowed, which was expected and Alpha Bane seemed to love that a lot.


    Just as we were about to get into the house, Alpha Bane''s father stepped out with a huge smile and with his hands spread out wide. "Wee, my son," he said to Alpha Bane as they embraced. He seemed so excited to see his son and I was happy for him.


    They didn''t always get along as Alpha Bane always talked about his preference for Dn. It was only after he had beaten Dn that his father seemed to have some respect for him.


    It was made worse by the fact that he chose Dn''s mother over his mother. It was something that Alpha Bane could never get over and I knew that even as he held his father with his eyes closed, the thought never left his mind.


    They broke from the hug and the old man turned to me. I loved to think of him as kind as he had never been rude or cruel to me since I got to know him. Sometimes, he acted like he didn''t care. Other times, he showed me care andpassion as much as he could.


    This time, he moved from Alpha Bane and stood right in front of me, still smiling. "Wee back, my daughter."


    I was still so shocked to hear him call me that, as proof that he did ept me as


    his daughter-inw, when he wrapped his hands around me in a hug.


    I gasped at first, as it was unexpected, and then I hugged him back. He parted my back a few times and my heart warmed at the gesture.


    Then we all walked inside the house with the maids still following closely behind.
