*Five days later*Alpha Azai POVIt was just over a month now since I’d been back to the packhouse. My construction crew was working nonstop on the house I had going up here in the clearing. I continued to stay in the tent. Zaine often brought me my evening meals and I’d be hunting in the morning while letting my wolf stretch his legs.I’d just gotten back from hunting when my phone rang. Looking at it, it was Alpha Austin.“Alpha Austin, I’d heard you returned home. How are you?” I asked him. Honestly, I didn’t care but pleasantries were required when I was trying to stay close to his sister.“Truthfully, I’ve been better Alpha Azai. I think we’ve got a problem,” he said gravely.“What’s going on?”“Caleb returned to Dark Moon, right?”“Yes, five days ago I believe. Why?”He sighed, “I thought maybe my sister went with him. The omegas went to turnover her room though before she returned home, and her phone and a bracelet were left on the table.”“Where is her mate?” I asked, my stoma

I racked my brain, trying to process any reason as to why Dimitri would feel the need to use a potion on me. Amara and I could only come back to one conclusion.Pulling back up at the packhouse there was a scene out front. Liam had his arms around Shayla who was crying and screaming. My brother stood at the doors, his face stern. I got out slowly, slowly trying to approach the situation. When Shayla finally noticed me was when she lost her mind even more.“You!” She screamed, “You bitch! What did you do?! You filled his head with lies, you’ve always hated me, you never wanted us together! What have you done!”I looked at my brother who only shook his head at me to not engage with her. As I turned away from her, heading up the steps inside she must have gotten out of Liam’s arms because all I heard next was a slapping sound. Turning around to look, Shayla was holding the side of her face, Caleb standing between us.“Caleb!” I gasped.“I only back handed her. I don’t care what her probl

Morning time came quickly and as I laid in the bed, thinking of the mess that my life has become in recent months my phone began to ring on my bedside table. I sighed, leaning over to see who it was. Dimitri. I silenced it and got out of bed, deciding to get ready for my day.At least then I’m able to say I was busy if he asks later why I didn’t answer him. I hadn’t spoken to him or even attempted to since he’d left. I pulled on a pair of jeans, a sweater and some boots that were appropriate for the snow outside.I took some medicine before storing it away in the bedside table again and leaving the room to head downstairs. I grabbed a chocolate muffin from the kitchen and began eating it as I walked out of the packhouse to the house next door that Dimitri had been staying in.Truthfully, I don’t think he truly had business at the capital, I think he just needed to get away from all the wolves around here. I had sent a message to Caleb to meet me in the driveway with a SUV but first I

I followed behind Austin, Shayla and Ryan slowly as they made their way upstairs, Caleb close behind me. We all walked into the alpha quarters and my brother walked Shayla to their shared room. Closing the door behind us, Caleb stayed there to stand guard.Austin came back out a few moments later, closing the door behind him and sighing. He walked over, wrapping me in his arms, obviously very much in need of comfort. I hugged him back and he said, “I knew you’d do whatever you necessary to find us. Ryan said you’ve done well taking care of the pack.”He stepped back, leaving his hands on my shoulders and giving me a tight-lipped smile. I knew I needed to ask the question we all needed to know though, “Austin, what happened?”He dropped his hands, going to sit on the couch, resting his elbows on his thighs. He looked defeated. “I’m not sure, one minute I was talking to Shayla about the baby, the next thing I knew the car was rolling, we’d been hit. I was barely conscious, but someone pu

Beta Zaine’s POVWalking through the woods to go meet with Azai I sighed looking at the mess he had caused in the past weeks. He hadn’t been to the packhouse since we’d returned from Cerulean. Last week the packhouse shook from the blasts of dynamite from where they were clearing out more of the rock tunnel so vehicles could pass through it.Land had already been cleared and a dirt road made, with culverts to not interrupt the natural flow of water. Zaine had driven up to that point then finished the rest of the way on foot. Walking through the tunnel, it was brighter after the expansion as more light flowed through it. Men worked as they put together the exterior block framing for a structure, the concrete had been poured a week and half back before the winter really began to set in.Azai stood over at the gazebo watching the ongoing work. Snow had begun falling a couple hours ago and it had begun to form a thin layer on the ground. “It’s about time you come back to the packhouse, do

Returning to the pack house Ryan had already loaded up three SUVs with warriors, “Luna, we’re ready to leave,” he said as I got out of the truck.I nodded, “good luck, bring my brother home.”He gave me a smile small, “I’ll do my best.”The temperature had dropped and snow had begun to fall, hopefully giving our warriors an advantage with less patrols being at the location they were headed to. I heard someone clear their throat and looked to where the sound came from to see Dimitri standing at the edge of the driveway. I walked over to him, “sorry about this morning, I’ve been under a lot of stress,” I said quietly.He nodded, “I understand. Listen, I need to go to the capital for some things. I still must pack but I’ve made some of the vampire’s kiss and put it in the fridge for you. The blood will help with your energy and perhaps your mood.”I smirked, “are you saying I’m grumpy?”“Never you, my darling,” he teased. His eyes looked up and past me and I turned to see he was looking
