ALPHA AUGUST POVWe searched for the ranch hand every day for two weeks. The community is devastated since he remains missing, but we didn’t know what else to do to find the boy. I thought about calling Alejandra’s tracking team but thought better of it. At least until I get back to the pack. They hadn't taken me up on the offer to come and visit the pack yet, and I don't want to push pack business into them if they're not interested. It did remind me of the weird picture they found that was taken of Melia. So I sent it to Thomas so he could get a jump start on figuring out where it came from but with Cici's murder and Melia's abductor still in the wind I'm not sure how he will find the time. Which is why I'm glad to finally be going home, for a few weeks anyways. Nikita's initiation day is almost here and while I have no choice but to be there I also think it will be a good learning experience for Melia. It's been five weeks since Melia got her wolf back, and things were finally gett

MELIA POVI can hear my mom's voice when I open the screen door and step onto the porch, so I took off down the steps to find her. I want to ask her if she needs me to help her or Maggie this morning before I find something to get into with Aunt Sarah. When I round the big barn, I couldn't help but overhear what Alpha August was saying to my mother. "I have never heard of a wolf shifter losing their wolf and if she would start learning the ways of the pack and the duties she will have to fulfill maybe she could relax enough for her wolf to regain the strength she needs to come back. But if she doesn't get her shit together, I'm going to have no choice but to give the position to one of her sisters. I know that Maisie has really been invested in the politics and laws since David has been letting her intern, but Margot is the one showing all the potential leadership abilities. With her condition, I wasn't sure how possible it would be for her to step up, but she is improving every day,

ALPHA AUGUST POV James had to let me out of the truck. I wanted to erupt like a fucking volcano. With my Alpha aura rolling off me in waves I don't know if James would even make it back to the ranch with me in his truck. I didn't even wait for him to come to a complete stop. As soon as my feet hit the dirt, I took off running towards the woods, and once I was at the tree line, Bishop pushed through and took over seamlessly. He immediately stuck his nose up in the air to search for Athena, and almost instantly, he caught her scent, which sent a calming sensation down our spine. I didn't think she would be out here yet, but what the hell did I know? Apparently fucking nothing at this point.He took off running towards her scent and it didn't take us long to find her and Izzy practicing in the middle of the woods. Athena was without effort changing from human to wolf and wolf to human repeatedly. "The more you do it the easier it becomes." I heard Izzy yell out to her. "If only I could

ALPHA AUGUST POV It has been two months since we rescued Melia, but nothing has been the same. Athena was finally able to turn back into human form, but with any stress or anger, she was still shifting without control. Instead of keeping her locked in the bunker, I packed her and the girls up and moved us all down to my parent’s ranch temporarily. Lenny and Elenior are here with us. Thomas is taking care of things at the pack until we get back. I knew this wasn’t a permanent fix, but it was the best I could think of at the time. Emse and Baine weren’t too happy about the arrangement, but they had no clue what to do with Athena and her wolf. There was plenty of forest on the 100,000 acres of property my family owned for my girls to run themselves tired. Lenny and I kept close by so we could steer them away from any of the little towns or other rancher’s property they might have gotten a little too close to while they let their wolf run.Maisie still didn’t show any signs of having a w

**Content Warning - sexual abuse, profanity.** MELIA POV I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids wouldn’t budge; I couldn’t even groan out of annoyance. I wanted to roll over; my back was killing me. Even just wiggling my fingers or toes a bit would be sufficient for the moment. I couldn’t do anything but lie here in silence. I could feel that my shirt had ridden up a bit on my back. The exposed spot had almost gone numb from the freezing floor. So I had to assume that I was back in the basement. I just hoped that I wasn’t in the filthy, goddess-forsaken cage that kept me trapped when I first got here. *** A steel door slammed somewhere close by, making me jolt upright. I must’ve dozed off because I was now able to move my body and limbs. I finally opened my eyes, and I blinked a few times, trying to clear my vision. Looking around, I could see that I wasn’t in a cage. In fact, there wasn’t a cage anywhere in this room, but what I saw was far worse. Three of Alexander’s goons were

ALPHA AUGUST POVIt didn’t take Alejandra any time at all to start looking for my daughter. Why hadn’t I come to her sooner? If anything had happened to Melia, it would all be on me.I shook my head, trying to shake loose all the unhelpful thoughts and focus on the task at hand.“Do you have a clear picture of her face that we can use?” She asked, clicking her phone shut.I must have drifted because I didn’t hear any of her phone conversation.“Yes, of course. Here is the only picture I have of them. It was shortly after they had arrived at the pack house. The girls talked me into getting ice cream after Sunday dinner, just the three of us.She raised her eyebrows with a questioning look but said nothing as she scrolled through the few pictures I had of my girls.“Do you want to talk about it?”“There isn’t much to talk about. The wolf and witch counsel couldn’t know that a soon-to-be Alpha and a High Priestess procreated, so our parents covered it up. Their mother raised them for the
