Chapter: Chapter 41 Days passed quickly and soon it had been weeks since Emma and Quincy had spoken other than brief conversations about the pack. Although it made Emma sad to lose her closest friend in the pack, she didn’t regret her choice. She didn’t need a chosen mate and she didn’t want one that couldn’t understand her point of view or understand why it was time for traditions to change. She was exhausted from working long hours and trying to spend as much time as possible with Caleb and visiting Daryl, but now no one could say she wasn’t capable of taking care of the pack. Veronica was working on the details of the Luna Conference and Emma was excited to see how it would turn out. This event would be a three day conference for Luna’s only. The last day would also host a family event and end with a celebration for both the Luna’s and their mates. There would be many topics discussed and she hoped the conference would become an annual event. Emma was so lost in thought as she walked one of the narr

Chapter: Chapter 40Internally Emma was berating herself for speaking too soon. Now she had to spar with the one man she wanted to avoid most. She approached the mat without hesitation, her years of training providing her with a calm exterior. Quincy gave her a grin, “Good morning Luna.” Emma gave him a cool smile, “Good morning Beta.” She stepped onto the mat and they paired off. He attempted to use his larger size the pin her to the mat, but within minutes she had him. The pack members cheered the match on and were happily chatting about her win into lunchtime. Emma returned to the pack house and Veronica joined her in the office. “Good morning Luna, here are today’s files. Your meetings have been rescheduled and I scheduled time for you and Hera to meet about the security changes.” Emma nodded, “Thank you. Please let Beta Quincy know that I’m ready to meet with him this morning.” Veronica left the office and returned a few minutes later with Quincy following behind her. He carried s legal pad and a c

Chapter: Chapter 39“It’s nothing personal Emma. This is how our culture works. Every pack needs an Alpha and a Luna. The pack works together so everyone is provided for and protected. They are looking out for the best interest of the pack.” Quincy series on with his point of view, but Emma was so taken aback that she didn’t hear the rest of it. Anger filled her, and she felt her face and neck heat up. “I can’t believe you just said that to me. After months of working alongs side of me, you’re agreeing with them? As if I cannot manage or protect the pack simply because I am female?” She didn’t even realize that her power was filling the room. Quincy flinched slightly as it hit him, drawing his full attention to how upset she truly was. He fully submitted to her without hesitation, baring his neck to her. Emma ignored the gesture and made no effort to control her aura. “There are times when society needs to change. Broken Paw Pack has been fine under my leadership. It is insane to think that I cannot ma

Chapter: Chapter 38 Emma sat at the conference table with the four Alphas who’s packs connected to her. “Good afternoon gentlemen. I’m must say, I was surprised that you asked for this meeting. Please tell me why you’re here.” One man spoke up, “we are here to express our concern for your pack. We have brought up the issue with Beta Quincy but it is time we address it with you. Since Alpha Daryl is unable to manage the pack, there are concerns that you will be challenged. It puts your allies in a difficult position.” Emma breathed in slowly as she sat back in her chair. Sitting straight and shoulder back, she exhaled. As she let the muscles in her body relax, her power flowed freely to the men in the room. She watched them intently as each one struggled not to submit to her. “I greatly appreciate your concern, but I am not worried about my ability to meet any challengers.” She pulled back her aura, and another one piped in. “There are also rumors about the attack. People are whispering that you are Ly

Chapter: Chapter 37 Once the interview was done, Emma felt for confused than ever. Alice had answered every question they asked and she seemed to be telling the truth about everything except how she escaped. For days now Emma had been replaying it in her head, and she couldn’t comprehend why. Today she decided to have Alice over to discuss it. Caleb went to the nursery, and Quincy had left with the Lycan team to apprehend some of the names she had given. Hera was ever present for her protection, but for this conversation, she wanted to be alone. It was mid afternoon, and she was relaxing in her suite when Alice arrived. She inclined her head, “Good afternoon Luna. Thank you for inviting me. I was quite surprised when you asked me to come.” Emma waved her hand, “never be surprised when I ask for your company. I do consider you a friend, however, I must admit I had more than companionship on my mind when I asked you to join me.” Alice took a seat next to Emma. “Oh really? What did you have on your mind?”

Chapter: Chapter 36Everyone got into place for the interview to begin. The session would be recorded. Quincy, Alice and Karen went into the interview room. John and the other team members began setting up the case file information so it could be viewed as they went through the interview process. Emma paced the room as the session began. Alice and the woman sat at the table, while Quincy sat in the corner. Comfortable chairs had been brought in to make the room more accommodating. John started the recorder, and the woman introduced herself. “Hi Alice, my name is Karen. I’m sure you’re aware, but I am one of the team members investigating this is situation. I have a degree in psychology, and have work as part of the Lycan investigation team for 15 years. More importantly, I am a mother to three girls, and if anyone had treated them the way you’ve been treated, I would be out for blood. Everyone deserves to be free and happy, and to have a choice. That choice was taken from you. I’m here to help you get j

Chapter: Chapter 60 JaceThe air was still vibrating from Rhett’s roar when the bond snapped into place. Jace felt it the second Rhett’s teeth sank into Mira’s neck like lightning ripping through his veins, tying the three of them tighter. He felt her power surged through Rhett, wild and untamed, pushing his wolf to the edge, and then the horn blew.The sound split the night, sharp and guttural, calling death into the clearing. Through the haze of fog and blood, Jace saw them, Council enforcers, armored in silver-black, charging down from the ridge. Behind them, the monsters poured in like a second wave, larger than before, their glowing eyes locking on the triad.Rhett’s growl rumbled low and primal, his wolf standing broad and defiant in front of Mira, freshly claimed and burning with energy. Jace knew they were outnumbered, wildly, violently outnumbered. Still, his instincts screamed one thing: protect them. The first line hit hard, steel flashing, claws tear

Chapter: Chapter 62 RhettThe acrid sting of wolfsbane still burned his nose, mixing with blood and ash as Rhett stalked through the battlefield, claws still wet. The monsters had finally retreated, or rather, been pulled back, but Rhett wasn’t fooled. Drayce Malor was still here and Rhett had had enough of shadows and secrets. He followed the bond, the thread of anger humming through Mira, and the steel-sharp tension in Jace, to where Drayce stood near the edge of the pack chambers, robes immaculate despite the carnage. That smug, detached calm was fuel to the fire roaring in Rhett’s chest. The Alpha didn’t ask permission. He shoved the chamber doors wide, the sound cracking like a thunderclap, drawing startled gasps from the elders seated within. His wolf prowled beneath his skin, dangerous, waiting to be unleashed. Drayce looked up, unbothered. “Alpha Rhett,” she said smoothly. “You are either brave or foolish to return, being a wanted man.” “Don’t,” Rhett snapped, voice low, lethal. “Don’t pretend

Chapter: Chapter 59 RhettThe forest air was thick with damp earth and pine resin,. Rhett’s chest rose and fell in ragged, restrained breaths as he surveyed the Alpha House courtyard. They didn’t have much time.“We move now,” Rhett ordered, his voice clipped, command threaded with tension. Jace shifted closer, his scent sharp and restless, amber eyes glowing faintly in the low light. “We’re blind out there, Rhett. If we run without a plan—”“If we stay, they cage us,” Rhett snapped, then softened just enough to meet his gaze. “I won’t let them take you. Either of you.” The bond pulsed between them, hot and steady, Mira’s wolf pressing against her skin, aching for unity even as her human mind screamed strategy.She stepped forward, forcing calm into her voice. “Lena and Kellan bought us a window. That’s not a gift we waste.” While they argued, Lena appeared in the shadows, pale and grim, slipping between the branches like smoke. “The Council sent reinforcements,” she whispered urgently. “Two squads, minimum.

Chapter: Chapter 58 RhettThe storm outside rattled the Alpha House windows, but nothing compared to the storm inside Rhett’s chest. Jace stood before him, tense and beautiful, his Beta strength steady, his wolf thrumming so loudly through the bond that Rhett could feel it against his own skin. They’d been circling this moment for days, maybe longer, ever since he’d claimed Jace in front of the Council, even before either of them fully understood what it meant. Tonight, Rhett knew exactly what it meant. “You’re sure about this?” Jace’s voice was low, strained, like he was trying to hold something fragile together inside himself. Rhett stepped closer until their chests brushed, the heat between them sharp and unrelenting. “I’ve never been more sure of anything.” He cupped the back of Jace’s neck, fingers threading into his hair. “The Council’s coming for us whether we hide or not. If we’re going to stand, we do it united. I want the bond solid. I want you.”Something in Jace broke then, his breath catching as

Chapter: Chapter 57 MiraThe air was thick with tension in the meeting room, the scent of blood and smoke still clinging to everyone after the battle. Mira’s fingers drummed against her thigh as she stood in the center of the room. Her wolf was restless beneath her skin. She had fought side by side with her mates, with her pack, and they’d won, for now. But the unease hadn’t left her bones. Something still felt wrong. Rhett paced near the window, his jaw clenched, while Jace leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, silent but watchful. The council had gone quiet after the attack, but Mira knew better. Silence didn’t mean surrender. It meant plotting. And then it happened. The door creaked open. Risa slipped into the room, her dark braid swinging over one shoulder, her amber eyes darting between them. Normally, her presence soothed Mira, Risa had been at her side in nearly every battle since joining the task force. But tonight Mira’s wolf bristled. “Mira,” Risa said softly, avoiding Rhett’s piercing s

Chapter: Chapter 56 MiraThe scent of blood hit me before the roar split the night. One second, we were stalking through the undergrowth, every muscle coiled, ears sharp for the faintest sound. The next, the shadows exploded. Dozens of creatures poured from the trees, fangs dripping with venom, claws slicing through moonlight. Their eyes burned an eerie green this time. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. My wolf took the lead in a rush of instinct and bond-driven fury. I launched forward, tearing through the first beast before it hit the ground, the bond with Rhett and Jace thrumming violently inside my chest.Something in the air shifted, thick, electric, almost alive. “Left!” Jace’s growl thundered through my mind as his wolf intercepted two creatures lunging for me. Rhett’s presence burned through the bond like a wildfire, his Alpha command cutting through chaos and instinct alike.The three of us, three wolves locked in a forbidden bond, moved as one. It was instinctual, powerful and effective. It was a big red
