{Alpha Tyler}
I woke up the next day after mine and Trinity's wedding, Trinity surprised me when she accidentally shoved me out of the bed tossing and turning in her sleep. "Ah, Trinity…" I said gently poking her shoulder to get her to wake up. "Trinity, wake up!"
"Huh what?" Trinity said after she woke up.
"You were tossing and turning in your sleep and you accidentally shoved me out of the bed doing that," I said.
She blushed. "Oh, sorry about that."
"It's okay, what's wrong?" I asked, "Judging by the look on your face you're panicking."
She sighed, "I had a bad dream. I'm not sure if it means anything or not but it kind of feels like it means something."
"Can you tell me what it was about?" I asked.
Trinity nodded and she told me that she dreamt about a pure white wolf staring at her with murderous intent but she woke up and went back to sleep after that. Every time she went back to sleep the pure white wolf looked different. The wolf's fur still stayed pure white but he had a sword floating in mid air behind him. But the last time she had the dream the wolf slowly shifted into a man. He had brown hair and green eyes, he wore a black t-shirt and black pants but he didn't wear any shoes.
"Can wolves communicate with each other through dreams?" Trinity questioned.
I shook my head and I was about to say no when I remembered something. "It's possible but there's a certain type of wolf that can do that."
"And that is?" Trinity said.
"It's a wolf who is a part of the Royal Family in the Werewolf Kingdom," I said.
She gave me a puzzled look. "There's a Royal Family who rules over all of the werewolf packs?"
I nodded. "Yes it's a bit weird though because number one, why would someone of Royalty reach out to you? I mean no offense by that. Number two, how in the world would the Royal Family know about you?"
Trinity shrugged. "I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine."

{Andrew, Trinity's father}
A couple of weeks ago I stood in front of the Steel Armor's pack ceremony building and judging by the feeling of excitement buzzing around the pack something good was going to happen. For some reason I knew it had something to do with my daughter. I had to watch her grow up on the sidelines because of her mother.
My daughter's mother banished me from the coven right after she divorced and rejected me just so she could marry the High Priest at the time. From what I know of the High Priest died shortly after my daughter's mother married him and she became the High Priestess.
I hated it when the hunters were sent after my daughter just because she ran away from home. Although I did manage to help her from the sidelines by steering some of the hunters in her line of fire so she could kill them.
I had been wondering for a while if Alice had kept our daughter's birth name Mary or changed it to something else. Much to my surprise I found out that Alice had indeed kept our daughter's birth name as Mary. When I found out that my daughter's name was still Mary, I tracked her at the high school she was going to.
I tracked her down at her high school and I couldn't help but laugh at the guy who was stalking her. I found out that every Alpha who went to Mary's high school including the guy stalking her were pinning after her. The Alpha who was stalking her seemed kind of shy when it came down to talking to Mary. It was my hope because of the fact that this guy wasn't as arrogant as the other Alpha's that he would become Mary's mate one day.
I was so proud the day I first saw her shift into her wolf form because her wolf is the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen! Her wolf's fur was a mixture of brown and black fur. It looked like she had mostly black fur with brown highlights to me. The brown highlights looked a lot like tiger stripes going down her back. She had brown patches of fur on her paws and ears. She also had one strip of gold colored fur going across her forehead that made it look like she was wearing a crown or some type of tiara.
After she shifted into her wolf form she ran into the forest and came across the Alpha who had been stalking her in his wolf form. I knew it was that Alpha because I saw him shift after shouting the word 'Mate' before he ran off into the forest. When he came across Mary he stopped in his tracks and had a goofy looking smile on his face. However, Mary was cautious and rightfully so because she had no idea who the Alpha was. Unfortunately after seeing the Alpha, Mary turned tail and ran off.
As I watched the scene unfold I smiled as I saw the Alpha chase after her. Later on I found out that the Alpha's name was Alpha Tyler and he was indeed Mary's mate. It wasn't until years later that I found out that she finally accepted him as her mate. I practically bounced up and down with joy when I found that out.
Then I found out from the Moon Goddess herself that Mary's name had been archived and she was given a new name Trinity. I liked that name because it suited her even more than the name Mary. It's mostly because she's a Knighted Wolf just like I am. I also know for a fact that she's a Gate Welder.
She has no idea that she comes from a long line of Royalty but not from the Royal Family of the Werewolf Kingdom. She comes from a long line of Royalty within the Royal Family in the Celestial beings kingdom. That Celestial's Kingdom is much higher in status than the Werewolf Kingdom and the werewolves know it too.
Trust me, my parents have a lot of fun taunting the Royal Family in the Werewolf Kingdom. It's kind of funny to me considering my mom, who is the Queen, is a werewolf and my dad the King is a Celestial being. My mom is also a Knighted Wolf and my dad is a Gate Wielder. A lot of people seem to think that Knighted Wolves are rare but they're wrong because we chose to keep that information secret. There are a lot of Knighted Wolves in the Celestial Kingdom and so are Gate Wielders but it is rare for a Knighted Wolf to be a Gate Wielder at the same time.
Today I grinned as I watched the wolves of the Steel Armor Pack file into the ceremony building because I knew whatever the ceremony was it had something to do with my daughter. I caught a couple of tidbits of a conversation between two she wolves. They seemed to be really excited and rightfully so.
“Can you believe it? Our Luna and Alpha are getting married today!” One of the she wolf's squealed.
"Yeah I know right? I bet they had no idea that the Wedding Ceremony happens right after the Luna Ceremony, huh?" The other she wolf said.
"Well if they didn't it would be kind of stupid because just about every wolf in the pack along with the Omegas know about that," The first she wolf said.
The other she wolf rolled her eyes. "No kidding! But come on, let's hurry because I bet you anything it won't take long for the seats to fill and it's going to be standing room only after that!"
I chuckled as I watched the two she wolves run into the building practically skipping with joy as they did. I used my powers to hide my scent as I walked into the building as if I were one of the pack members. There was no way that I was going to miss my daughter's Wedding Ceremony! After I watched the ceremony I went back home.
***
When I got back home I entered the throne room eager to share what I found out. As soon as I entered the throne room Mom jumped up from her throne with glee and ran over to give me a tight bear hug like she always does when I return home.
"Okay Mom," I croaked. "You can let go now, I can't breathe!"
I looked over and frowned at my Dad who was laughing after Mom let go of me. "That's my girl! She can kill anyone with just one bear hug!"
I rolled my eyes and said with sarcasm. "Ha, ha very funny!"
"So," said Mom. "What do you have to tell us? Judging by the look on your face you are excited about something."
I nodded and smiled. "Yes! I just came back from watching my daughter's Wedding Ceremony! And get this she's married to the Alpha of the Steel Armor Pack!"
"Yay!" Mom and Dad cheered.
"I couldn't ask for a better grandson-in-law!" Mom gushed. "The Steel Armor Pack is the toughest pack besides the Royal Family of course! When are you going to introduce us to our grandchildren?"
"Yeah about that, it's complicated because of what happened between me and Trinity's mother," I said. Then I thought of an idea. "However, I could try and reach out to her in a dream and leave her clues as to who I am possibly?"
Dad nodded. "Mhm, you're going to have to meet her eventually and tell her the true story about what happened. Because as it stands you're pretty much the cowardly father that ran off after his daughter was born."
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
"Yeah I know," I growled. "But I think once I meet her, she'll understand where her powers actually come from. So I'll figure something out."
"I know you will!" Mom grinned. "I just want to meet my grandchildren and the sooner the better!"
I chuckled, "Yeah I know. Just whatever you do, don't kill them with a bear hug if you know what I mean."
Dad practically fell off his throne because he was laughing so hard. Mom had an amused look on her face because of how hard Dad was laughing at my remark. He composed himself but he looked like he could burst into laughter again at moments notice.
Mom went from being amused to annoyed because Dad was trying too hard to keep a straight face. "Okay honey, it was funny at first but now it's not so calm yourself."
He cleared his throat, "Okay, okay fine I'll stop but I have to disagree that statement your son just made was rather amusing!"
Mom grinned. "Yeah it was." She looked at me. "Son maybe you could try-"
I shook my head. "No thanks. I think I'll keep my day job, thank you very much! I'm not that funny."
"Alright, alright fine I won't suggest it again," Mom said. "All jokes aside, I want to meet my granddaughter, and I don't care what that bitch she has for a mother says!"
I would've gasped at my Mom's foul language but I've gotten used to it. She'll cuss like a drunken sailor when two things happen: If she's determined to get something or she's pissed about something. It's safe to say she's cussing because she's determined to get something and that something is being able to meet my daughter. Knowing her, if my plan failed to get my daughter curious enough to meet me she would pull strings to make it happen.
"Okay, I'll work on it, and I will make sure you meet her sooner or later you will meet her," I said.
Mom and Dad both nodded in approval and I was going to get Trinity to meet them sooner or later and that was a promise.

{Alpha Tyler}
After our honeymoon was over Trinity seemed to be not as on edge about things as she was before for the moment. That was fine considering shit was going to hit the fan again soon, I had a gut feeling about that. The honeymoon was over so I went back to my Alpha duties and Trinity had to start learning her Luna duties.
I was in my office trying to take care of financial matters for the pack when Theo came bursting through the door in a panic. I frowned. "What's wrong?"
Theo gulped. "This letter just came for you and Trinity."
My eyebrows raised in surprise. "The letter includes Trinity too?"
Theo nodded. He handed me the letter and I opened it. It read like this:
Dear Alpha Tyler,
I know my daughter is residing within the Steel Armor pack borders as of late. I have a message for you and my daughter. Yes I know her birth name has been archived but she will always be Mary to me.
Mary if you come back to the coven willingly I won't hurt anyone in the Steel Armor Pack. However, if you don't come back I'll send the hunters after you and I'll tell them to kill every single pack member, even children! Although I'm pretty sure a war will break out because of Mary and for what? Mary is a bastard child. Why the hell would the pack want to protect her?
So I'll give you a week to decide. It's your choice, save your pack's lives by having Mary come back to me willingly or have a war start just because you want to protect my bastard child.
Sincerely,
The High Priestess of the IronClad Coven
As soon as I read the letter I was pissed. I take that back, I was beyond pissed! The words pissed off were an understatement, I was livid! But then my anger turned to joy and I smiled wickedly. I looked over at Theo who was staring at me with wide eyes. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I wonder if Trinity's mother realizes that she's our pack Luna now? The letter doesn't seem like she does, but then again she knows that Trinity's birth name has been archived so maybe she does?" I asked, "The letter doesn't seem like she knows so maybe we have an advantage? But we can't let our guards down, not even for a second."
Theo nodded. "So what are you going to do?"
"Well I'm going to run this letter by Trinity first and I have a feeling of what her answer will be. Knowing that she's the pack Luna now Trinity will want to protect her pack," I said. "So yeah a war's probably going to break out regardless. Please summon Trinity to my office and we'll figure out a game plan."
Theo nodded. "Yes Alpha."
With that, he ran out of the room once my command was issued. Shortly after that Trinity came into the office with a concerned look on her face. "What's going on? Theo seemed rather panicked when he came to get me."
I handed her the letter and when she read it she looked about as pissed off as I was. "No way in hell am I going back to that coven except to disband it and destroy their temple! Look I know not going back-"
"No," I cut her off. "I had a feeling you might say something like that. But you're our Luna now and a pack will protect their Luna a lot more than they would protect their Alpha. I have a feeling that regardless if you go back to the coven or not that your mother will start a war with us anyway."
Trinity nodded. "So what are we going to do?"
"I want you and Justin training my warriors with the Head Trainer," I said. "And toughest warriors I want them to square off with you and Justin from time to time. We need to be ready for whatever attack your mom's coven tries to throw at us." I sighed, "Unfortunately I'll put a curfew on the young pups especially the ones who haven't shifted yet."
Trinity frowned. "Yeah I know that's not going to go over well with the pack but they'll have to do it because it's the Alpha's orders and I'll support you no matter what."
I smiled. "Thanks. On another note, have you talked to Grandma Sorceress about the weird dreams you've been having about that wolf?"
She nodded. "Yeah I did but I got a rather surprising answer, that yes whoever was trying to contact me was a person of Royalty and given the fact that it's a wolf contacting me maybe it's someone from the Royal Family within a werewolf community?"
My eyes went wide. "Seriously? But why?"
She shrugged. "Like I said, your guess is as good as mine."

{No Name}
"Are you serious?" I gasped. I couldn't believe my ears. A lone she wolf by the name of Sasha made her way into the IronClad Coven through Alice's daughter Ariel. Once I heard a werewolf wanted to talk to me I couldn't stop myself from making a visit to see what she wanted.
Sasha nodded. "Yes you heard me! Trinity, who was called Mary before, is now my former pack's Luna and it's safe to say she's probably married to Alpha Tyler right now. And I will help you get your 'bride-to-be' although I doubt she'll ever agree to marry you. I will help bring her to you but for a price."
"Huh?" I said, "A price? Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Oh yeah, I do," Sasha responded. "You could kill me and take the chance that Trinity and the rest of my former pack would kill your little minions or you could give me permission for some time in bed with her and I'm not the only one that wants that. I have eight other Alpha's from eight different packs who want a chance with her. So do we have a deal?"
I thought about it and weighed the odds. I knew that sending my minions along with the IronClad Covens hunters could make things harder to retrieve Trinity. But I knew that once I had Trinity that a war could break out and that would be bad for beings in the supernatural world and God's like me. The main reason would be a problem is because depending on what happens the territories would be divided and some God's that rule over covens and whatnot would lose their place as God's.
But at this moment I didn't care, I just wanted Trinity. My love was for Trinity and Trinity only and I have no idea why I love this woman so much when I haven't formally met her or spent time with her yet. Well technically I did meet her because it happened on a day when I decided to make a visit to the human world to do business with the leaders of the IronClad Coven.
I saw her and she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen! Her brown hair went down to her shoulders and her beautiful gray eyes looked at most of the members of the coven especially her mother with contempt. Which I totally understand because that visit happened shortly after her mother became High Priestess. I found out the girl that I had fallen in love with at first site name was Mary.
I didn't get a chance to formally meet her because I had other business to take care of.
Sasha cleared her throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. "So do we have a deal?"
She held out her hand and at that time I made up my mind and shook her hand. "We have a deal!"
I wrote out a contract and we both signed it and once that was said and done I went back home.
***
When I got back home I sat down on the couch in the living room and chilled out for a moment. I was getting ready to summon one of my servants to have sex with when I heard someone clear their throat. I rolled my eyes and snarled when I turned around and looked at her. The person who cleared her throat was none other than the Moon Goddess herself.
"What do you want showing up here unannounced?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Says the guy who dated most of my daughters and threw them away once they gave their virginity to you!" Moon Goddess snarled. "And why are you coveting another one of my creations who isn't yours?"
"What I want is my business and my business only!" I sneered.
"Yeah no, not if it involves one of my creations!" Moon Goddess roared. "You know what? I'm glad your birth name got archived and changed to what it is today. I begged the council to do that considering the shit you've done to my family!" She calmed down a bit and then laughed wickedly. "Yup No Name it has a nice ring to it doesn't it? The name just rolls off the tongue hmm?"
At the moment I was trying my best to keep myself composed because I knew she wanted to provoke me into fighting her so I'd be in more trouble even if the fight took place in my own home. "I'm going to ask you again what the hell do you want?"
"I just wanted to let you know that even if by some miracle you get Trinity to agree to marry you a war will start regardless," Moon Goddess said. "I know how you are, you use every trick up your sleeve you can to convince someone to give you something that isn't yours! You did it to my own daughters! I created Trinity for one reason only."
I tilted my head. "Huh? What do you mean?"
She gave me a sinister smile. "The purpose I created for her is to have her rule over the Celestial Realm. True the Celestial Kingdom has its Royal Family and Trinity is from that family. However, when the time comes she will get the title of the High Ruler! And she will rule alongside her mate, Alpha Tyler. You can't do anything to stop that from happening and neither Trinity or Alpha Tyler can stop it.
"You know just as I do that when someone is picked for a position of power in the Celestial Realm they can't refuse. They have to take it whether they want it or not," She laughed wickedly again. "The wheels are already set in motion and you will NEVER be Trinity's mate! Even if you force her to marry you! That's all I have to tell you. But please go right on ahead with whatever plans you have cooked up and have fun failing!"
After that she walked off laughing like a psycho. I sat down on my couch and rubbed my temple frustrated at the Moon Goddess. She is a very irritating woman but before I could put phase one of my plan to have Trinity marry me (and it looks like it's going to have to be by force) I was going to have to find some way to kill the Moon Goddess. However, even if I killed her there's no telling if that would change Trinity and Alpha Tyler's destiny.
I took out a pen and notebook and started writing things down and brainstorming. I wanted the Moon Goddess out of the way so she could stop interfering with my plans to be with Trinity. I was going to have Trinity whether the Moon Goddess or the High Council wanted me to be with her or not.
