Chapter: Book 2 Epilogue Jonathan“Got everything prepared?” Jake asked as Jonathan stood next to him, looking in the mirror. Jonathan was adjusting his bow tie.“Don’t you think I should be asking you that? After all, it is your wedding day.” I looked back at my brother. The smile on Jake’s face told me everything I needed to know; he was more than ready to be married to Amalia.Jake smiled back at me. “Of course I am ready. I have been ready for months now. All of these details are what Amalia wanted. I was okay with whatever she wanted.” Jake paused, turning to look at me. “You know if mom was still alive, this wedding would have been huge. Everyone would have been invited.”I laughed at Jake’s comment about mom. He wasn’t wrong. I remember walking in on my mom talking with my sisters about their weddings. They were young but my mom loved talking to them about it. Mom was the ult

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 22Three Weeks LaterThe last three weeks have been spent healing. I overdid it a bit when I first came home and was sore for a few days. I learned my lesson quickly and followed doctor’s orders for the next two weeks. Now, I was feeling great. My pain was minimal, and I had stopped taking pain medication over a week ago.The downtime over the last three weeks gave me a lot of time to think. Jonathan worked from home the first few days but needed to go back to the office due to some problems with that expansion project that required him to actually be at the project site. While I did miss him, I appreciated the time to go through things in my life.The first thing I did was reach out to Duke University to see what I could do to finish up my degree. I was literally one semester away from graduating. After talking with them, I was able to get set up to take my missing three classes online. I appreciated that I had the option to go online to finish u

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 21TillyThe sound of beeping pulled me from a deep sleep. I had no idea what was going on or where I was. The last thing I remembered was the sharp stinging pain that I felt in my side that followed several loud gunshot blasts. The sounds around me were muffled, which was not a surprise consider both the blast and the gunshots that occurred so close to me. I tried to open my eyes but I was so tired and weak that I was not able to do so. The pain in my side reminded me that something did happen to me. The gun that had been jammed in my side led me to believe that I had been shot and the beeping sound meant that I was in a hospital room.I attempted to move my hand to my face, but something stopped my hand from moving.“Baby, just take it easy.” A voice whispered to me. I smiled when I realized that Jonathan was sitting with me, slowing stroking my hand. “I love seeing you smile. I was scared for a minute there.” His word

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 20TillyI stumbled away from the blast, the ringing in my ears not stopping. In the chaos of the blast, I was able to run away from those around me. I didn’t know where I was going, but I kept running towards the back of the warehouse. There wasn’t much that could be used for cover, but at this point, I didn’t care. I just wanted to get as far away from Gregory and those other men as I possibly could.My heart was pounding and my ears were still ringing as I paused for a moment to try to catch my breath. I could barely hear anything around me. The blast was not so close that I was impacted by the flying debris from it, but I was close enough that my hearing had been impacted. As I looked back towards the area from which I had just fled, I was surprised by what I saw.The men who had been standing in front of me, waiting to “accept” me had taken up a position behind a short wall that ran perpendicular to the door. The door fro

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 19JonathanI hadn’t slept at all last night. After Steve indicated that we were meeting with Vincent Lombardi at 9:00 this morning, I could not stop my brain long enough to go to sleep. Although Tilly hadn’t been gone long, I was significantly concerned for her safety. At one point, Gregory wanted to kill her, and that scared the shit out of me. Gregory was not well liked by most people. He had screwed a lot of people over the years. I couldn’t imagine that anyone would willingly work with him, unless there was a deeper motive. That deeper motive is what was most worrisome to me.The mafia was something I knew about only from the movies. I really enjoyed watching mafia movies. The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and Casino were some of my favorites, but I enjoyed any mafia movie. I also spent some time watching documentaries about the mob. However, none of that meant that I knew anything about what to expect when meeting some

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 18I was annoyed. I didn’t want to sit here and listen to Gregory’s long-winded story. I wanted to know the truth and I wanted it now.I stood up, causing the asshole I had bitten to stand up. I rolled my eyes at him and turned my attention back to Gregory.“Look, I already know that you aren’t my father.” His eyes widened slightly at my statement. His response surprised me, and I wasn’t sure if I had revealed my knowledge of that tidbit of information too quickly. I held my breath, waiting for him to respond.He took a beer from the fridge and then turned back towards me as he opened it. “Well, one less thing I have to tell you, I guess.” He shrugged and walked back towards me. It seemed like it was way too early to be drinking beer, but I doubted that he cared.“Why did you and mom say you were my father when you weren’t? Why have my birth certificate changed?” I aske

Chapter: Epilogue10 years later“Anders! Get back in here! Your mom told you dinner was almost ready five minutes ago!” Callan yelled out the back door, before giving up and going out to the backyard. I laughed as Callan fought to round up our son. From what Catherine told me, Anders was just like Callan was when he was young; stubborn, strong, and, at times, apparently hard of hearing. I had called him in several times alerting him of dinner, but he continued to run around the field behind the packhouse. At nearly ten years old, Anders was already showing his power and strength. He took after Callan in both behavior and looks, although he had my green eyes. Callan was often proud of his behavior while I was stuck running around trying to wrangle him in. His sister, Romy, was the opposite. At age 7, she was calm and controlled. She was empathic and caring. I didn’t expect her to be a red wolf and I doubted that she would be. At this point, there were six red wo

Chapter: Part 2 Chapter 26Two weeks laterLela was antsy. She wouldn’t stop pacing. I thought at first that it was related to the two weeks of recovery for Callan finally being up. But even after he woke up this morning and joined me in the shower, making sure that I knew that he was more than recovered, she still would not settle down. I know that my sexual frustration went away and down the drain twice this morning, but Lela still had this weird nervous energy about her. It was very uncharacteristic.‘Lela, what the heck is going on?’ I reached out to her, hoping that we could figure all this out. Her anxiety was rubbing off on me and I did not like the way it felt. I suddenly regretted all the times my emotions were overwhelming and bled in to how Lela was feeling. And that happened A LOT.‘I honestly don’t know what it is. I feel like I am waiting for something to happen, and I don’t know what it is.’‘Let’s just try to tak

Chapter: Part 2 Chapter 25Eight days. It has been eight days and there has been no change. I went home once a day to change and shower. Otherwise, I did not leave Callan’s room. Different pack members would come to visit, bringing me food and to keep me company. It had become almost routine at this point. Beta Jack and Marta would come first thing in the morning, bringing me breakfast. Beta Jack would stay and keep me company, updating me on anything relevant to pack business. Nathan and Jennifer would come at lunch time. Catherine would come with another pack member who had made me dinner. Justin would typically stop by after dinner and would stay with Callan while I went to shower and change. And the day would begin again.At the end of day eight, exhaustion was starting to set in. I was not sleeping well and worried filled me all day. I had just returned from showering and changing, thanking Justin for staying with Callan, when Dr. Powell walked in.“Hi Dr. Powell. What is

Chapter: Part 2 Chapter 24RAINA’s POVLela made it back to the pack in less than a minute. I did not even know that we could run that quickly, but fear can make you run quickly. While fear often drives you away from things, this fear drove me to Callan. Fear and anger. Callan was hurt and I was not going to just stand by and do nothing.Another pang of pain ran through me, but I refused to stop, despite how searing the pain was.‘Do you know where he is?’ I asked Lela as we approached the edge of pack territory.‘By our clearing.’ She responded. There was a certain irony in Callan being in the clearing that I had found so much comfort in. The amount of pain that I was in told me that Callan was severely injured. We would not stop until we were upon him. Brett and Emma were right behind me, keeping pace with Lela for the sprint to Callan.As soon as I hit the edge of the clearing, I saw Callan on the ground, and I immediately shifted back. One o

Chapter: Part 2 Chapter 23ALPHA CALLAN’S POVThe sound of breaking glass awakened me. My head was pounding, but when I looked at the car around me, my first thought was Raina. I could barely see the other side of the car, but I could tell that she was not there.“Alpha Callan? Are you alright?” A voice spoke from outside of my window. The breaking of glass was Beta Jack and Brett, who were attempting to pull me out of the car.“Where is Raina?” I asked as I pulled myself out of the car. Although pieces of glass were in my hands and legs, I did not care. I did not care that my head hurt and that it was bleeding. All that I cared about was Raina.Brett shifted and then spoke. “We have a faint scent of her. Right after the crash, my scouts observed two vampires in the area. We believe that they took her. My scouts have spotted the car and are following it.”Rollo roared forward. “We must get her!” I growled out, ready to sh

Chapter: Part 2 Chapter 22I awoke in the back of a car. My head was pounding. For a moment, I thought that I might have been knocked unconscious in the car crash and I was in the back of the car on the way home. But none of the smells in the car were familiar, and I knew that was too much to hope for. The pain in my head made it hard to open my eyes, but I forced them open. I was quite dark outside now. I tried to focus on the clock in the car, and, although it was blurry, I could just make out that it was 9:15 PM. “Looks like someone is awake.” A voice said from the front seat of the car. My head was throbbing, but I was awake and looking around, trying to get some understanding of where I was. However, there were just trees everywhere, so I really couldn’t pick up on anything. I looked up at the man in the front passenger seat. He looked young, but I knew that he was a vampire. I would guess that he is probably much older than I thought, although he looked like he is in

Chapter: Chapter 36HarleyA few days laterHealing had gone well for me, but slower for Anders. He was hoping the doctor would release him to regular activity today. I was adamant that nothing was going to take place between us until the doctor said he was better. Anders tried to run the pack border just yesterday, but was faced with a good bit of pain, and didn’t even make it halfway around the border. That didn’t mean that I didn’t want to do something with Anders. Senna had been driving me crazy with the images she kept sending me. I definitely knew that the need to bond with the mate after the mating ceremony was very, very strong after the last few days. If Anders wasn’t healed soon, I might not be able to keep shutting Anders down. We had a meeting scheduled with the Council today, which was taking place at the Red Wolf Compound. The Council had determined that it was safer to keep the prisoners at our prison, rather than trying to relocate them. Apparently, Alpha Lorenzo had more reach than we r

Chapter: Chapter 35HarleyCoral stood next to me as I approached the small group of wolves surrounding Anders. Callan, following the touch from Raina, had moved to the side, allowing me access to Anders. Senna told me that he was healing well, and the fact that he was conscious as I approached put my mind at ease and my heart relaxed. “Harley, are you okay? Were you shot?” Anders asked, pushing up off the ground. I smiled weakly at him, placing my hand on his chest. I could feel the concern through the mate bond. And, even though it sounded stupidly cliche, it almost felt as if I could feel the warmth in my own heart from the mate bond. “I am okay, Anders, I promise. But I have something that I must take care of.” I stood back up, turning towards Alpha Carlson and Alpha Lorenzo. The field was eerily quiet. There was not even a breeze noted and the trees stood, unmoving. It was as if Coral’s command had made everything stand still. I am not sure what exactly Coral had done, but slowly our wolves were b

Chapter: Chapter 34Harley My heart was pounding so loudly and deeply that I could feel it in my head. The pain that I could feel was almost too much and I knew that Anders was hurt badly. As much as I wanted to run to him and check that he was safe, I knew that I needed to get back inside. I turned around, Coral still behind me. “What is going on?” She asked as I made my way back towards the compound. Her voice held fear and uncertainty, and not just because she was a red wolf and could pick up on emotions. She was my sister and she knew me better than anyone. She knew that something was not right. The tears started running down my face as I spoke. “Anders is hurt, very badly, but there is a threat in the compound.” My voice caught in my throat, Anders pain becoming my own. “There are two new she-wolves who are a threat. We need to find them.” I approached the closest guardian wolf, diverting from entering the compound. “I need to know that every red wolf is accounted for. Also, I need a report on t

Chapter: Chapter 33AndersMy thoughts were split, broken almost, as I thought about Harley, my mom, my uncle, Brett, and the fighting that was going on around me. There was also the nagging of thought of my need to protect the red wolf. It was also too much as I tried to concentrate on what was going on around me. This fighting was not well organized and the use of weapons added an additional layer of danger. I had not doubt in the abilities of my fighters. Over the years, my dad had focused on not just training the guardian wolves, but our warriors as well. We always knew that there would be a greater threat to the Red Moon Pack because we housed the red wolves, and now, we were faced with that threat. “There is a group of rogues attacking from the west,” Neil broke through my thoughts as he communicated via mindlink. I dodged an attack, swiping one of my extended claws across the neck of a rogue who had lunged at me. He crumbled to the ground, the vile creature falling dead next to me as I looked ar

Chapter: Chapter 32Harley For as quickly as Raina stopped the attack and Brett and the scouts took out the rogues, time now seemed to standstill. All the previous events had happened in less than a minute, but now it felt as if each second was like minutes ticking by. Time seemed to completely stop as Raina collapsed next to her brother, Brett. I rushed to Raina’s side, the realization hitting me that, as the Luna, I would know if we had lost a pack member, and I did not feel that. Although my thoughts were all running through my head at a million miles an hour, I needed to steady myself. I needed to remain calm. Raina’s sobbing and grief and uncertainty rolling off of her told me that I had to be there for her. I placed my hand on Raina’s shoulder as I kneeled down next to her. I wasn’t sure if it would help or not, but I tried to exude a calmness, hoping that it would help wash over Raina. As I did, I took in Brett’s prone before me. There was a gunshot wound to the right side of

Chapter: Chapter 31Harley The rain had started falling a few minutes ago and provided a nice reprieve from the silence in the car. After hearing from Anders and confirming that he was shot, my mind had gone into overdrive. Despite confirmation that he was okay, as well as reassurance from Raina that Alpha Callan had seen Anders and his wound, it still made me uneasy. ‘He will be okay,’ Senna broke me from my thoughts. ‘Grey is healing him and he will be fine.’ I sighed, leaning my head against the window. ‘I know. But guns? Weapons are rarely used in our fighting. Who the fuck decides that we need to use weapons? It is almost taboo.’ Senna retreated back, and I could sense that she was communicating with Grey. I took comfort in knowing that Senna and Grey had a
