Chapter Prologue
“What has caused you to frown so hard, my love?” he asked.
The moon goddess turned to look at her mate. Smiling at him, she walked over to where he stood in the doorway. Wrapping her arms around him, she gave a sad sigh. “They are not happy.”
Already knowing where this was going, he kissed her head and waited.
“They were the sweetest of boys when they were growing up and as close, if not closer, than brothers. They did everything together and their packs were meant to be great allies.” Her face darkened with anger then as she continued, “That girl wasn’t even a mate to Everard, but she tore apart their friendship and destroyed their bond. In the chaos she had created, one Pack was almost physically destroyed. The other Pack was emotionally destroyed along with their Alpha.”
“So, what do you plan to do about it, my love?” He asked her.
The moon goddess looked up at him and said, “I have a plan.”
He chuckled, knowing that would be all he would get. “I know you do, and I expected nothing less.”
The moon goddess looked back out the unique window that allowed her to see her beloved children, those the mortals called werewolves. She watched as one of her broken pups shoved everything off his desk in anger as he growled loudly. His rage had become a thing of legends, and because of it, most of his Pack feared him. He needed an alpha female to calm him, to love him, to show him his worth. He also needed his friend back, and he just refused to see how badly he needed that.
She then glanced further over at her other broken pup and saw him crying. He was trying to lead his Pack the best he could, but he no longer had his best friend to guide him and felt so lost. He wasn’t supposed to be the Alpha; he would be his best friend’s beta because his elder brother was destined to be the Alpha. He felt he was no good at being an alpha, but when his father and elder brother were killed in the pack wars, he’d had no choice but to take the Pack over.
When he first took over the Pack, he’d had his friend help steer him in the right direction. Now he had no one, and his Pack was slowly falling apart and close to being destitute and starving. He was growing desperate and desperate men did terrible things sometimes. He had tried something once before in his depression, and she feared he would try something again if she didn’t do something soon.
“Those two pups need each other to survive, and I will send them someone who will love them equally. This is my plan, and I know it will bring them back together,” the moon goddess murmured.
Her mate raised his eyebrow in surprise. “You would give two alphas, one mate? That is not something you usually do because alphas are so…?”
She laughed and turned back to look at him to ask, “Aggressive to each other? Possessive of their mates?”
“Yes, something like that,” he agreed.
The moon goddess hummed and tapped her chin before mentioning, “That is true of most alphas, but these two are different. They have always been so close, brothers of the heart. I believe they will be more than willing to run their packs almost as one instead of two. For you see, my love, they are the perfect blend because they balance each other out, they always have. Brenton is a dominant alpha who rules his Pack with an iron fist. Everard lets everyone run him over because technically, he shouldn’t even be the Alpha. He was always meant to be the beta.”
“That’s true,” he agreed. “So, they compliment each other. When Brenton is too tough, Everard will be there to make him see his mistakes, and vice versa.”
“Correct, working together as the alpha and his beta would,” she said.
“And their mate?”
She smirked and kissed him before saying, “She will be the glue that will hold them together so that no one else can do what was done to them by that wretched woman! Those two sweet pups deserve all the happiness, and I know just who can help them find it.”
“Of course, you do, my love. You are the moon goddess after all, and they are your creations,” he agreed. “Now that you have that figured out, how about helping me find some happiness in our bedroom.”
She giggled and allowed him to pick her up and carry her there.
