Tyler’s POV“Are you sure they are working together? I mean, Maxine is obviously pissed but I don’t think she would do something this crazy. Eddie damn sure wouldn’t think twice about crossing you. He’s just a stupid kid.” Nick spoke up from the back seat as we drove to my parents house. He was always so reasonable and kind. He never let Dalton make mistakes. Dalton says that’s what makes him a good Beta, “The night Tyler’s gun went missing Maxine was the one that reported Tyler was at her patrol spot. Then the gun just so happens to end up with Argent. I call bullshit. That bitch set us up.” I sat back in my seat and rubbed my hands up and down my thighs nervously. What would she gain from working with Argent? For betraying her Alpha?, “Wait, wasn’t Eddie friends with Kollins Stone?” Nick leaned forward between Dalton and I. I watched as Dalton’s face went through different emotions, contorting his way to anger, “He was a year older than her. Kollins took advanced training
Alpha Dalton’s POVWe were barreling down the road as my truck tires were spitting gravel. The tense energy was thick in the car and Tyler’s skin glowed brightly lighting up the night. I thought she was beautiful now but my Goddess she was truly magnificent. I kept looking over at her and was met with harsh waves of anxiety. She was scared she couldn’t fight off Maxine but I know she can. She is a LaFlamme and if history could speak for itself, she is stronger than what she even knows. I hit my brakes and skidded onto the side of the road, “This is where I get off. But first I need to try something,” Tyler eyed me with confusion as I pushed my mind-link to her. My eyes were slammed shut and I focused hard on the words I wanted her to hear, “Darlin’, can you hear me?” A gasp escaped her lips and her eyes widened, “What the hell was that? Did you just mind-link me?” I smiled in triumph as she rubbed her forehead and glanced over at Nick who had his jaw basically on the floorb
Alpha Dalton’s POV“Tyler, can you hear me?” I stood beside Connelly and another one of my warriors while we stared at the cabin. I had sent Nick to find Emery. When I got there I had noticed Connelly had made him go with another warrior. I didn’t make a fuss about it, but Connelly was definitely going to hear about it when we got through this shit. Our nervousness was thick in the crisp air and fear danced through my fur covered spine. I waited to hear her voice come into my mind. The seconds were ticking by since she walked into that damn cabin. Why did I let her do this? I know she can handle it but I will never forgive myself if something happens to her. Argent is known for his wrath against witches. He despises them with every fiber of his being because they could very well be his downfall, “Yes, I can hear you. I don’t see my parents. There is a guy guarding the door to the basement.” Her heavenly voice drifted into my aching skull and I sighed with relief the same ti
Tyler’s POVBurnt wood filled my nose and caused me to try to scratch at my face. My hands were linked behind me and realization washed over me as I sat up quickly from the dirt and hay covered floor. I blinked my surroundings into focus and noticed I was in a giant barn covered in bird shit and the smell of freshly burnt firewood. Great, where the fuck am I? I huffed and tried to pull my hands from the heavy cuffs that entrapped them. Funny how I’m the police officer and I’m the one being handcuffed. I rolled my eyes at the irony as I crinkled up my nose to try to get the itch to go away. I looked around and noticed it was mostly dark in here besides a small fire with one person sat around it, “Hey where the fuck are we?” I shouted through the huge space and a few birds fluttered from the raptors. A large man stood up and walked over to where I was sitting on the floor, “I don’t know, but it’s cold and dirty as shit. I passed out the same time you did.” I looked into his e
Tyler’s POVGrowing and gnashing of teeth was all I heard as I backed away from Maxine. Her body was changing into a wolf and if she got ahold of me while I was bound in chains there was nothing I could do about it, “Thorn, grab that axe over there.” I nodded towards an old dirty axe that lay on a table with other farm tools, “And do what with it? Attack her? She is literally turning into a fucking wolf!” I yelled back at him, “Grab it and fucking knock these handcuffs off of me before she fully changed!” His eyes widened and he moved swiftly and grabbed the handle. I watched closely as she was still sprouting fur from her skin and her face was elongating in a sickening way. Thorn was at my side breathing heavily and looked from me to her while bouncing on the balls of his feet, “Okay, now what? Remember, Tyler, I’m handcuffed too.” I rolled my eyes and pushed my arms as far away from my back as I could, “You still have good range of motion from your front. Swing and for th
Alpha Dalton’s POV As I walked into the pack house It was eerily quiet, “I thought they all came here?” I asked out loud as Nick and Connelly stepped to my side, “They are in the back I think. Have you not mind-linked the Luna this whole time?” Connelly raised his eyebrow at me, “No, I haven’t. I had a lot going on and I knew once Benny got her she was safe.” I huffed and took a step farther into the house and Connelly scoffed at me, “Well, I don’t think that shit is nearly as important as your mate, but that’s just me.” I turned towards him, his eyes set on me in a pissed off way. I could feel the anger pulsing in my veins. Nick stepped between us, clearly noticing the tension, “Look, after all that shit I think we need to take a minute and chill out. Connelly, don’t question the Alpha. Dalton, you should have mind-linked the Luna. She is probably thinking something is wrong.” A weird guilty feeling came over me. Tyler had tried mind-linking me multiple times but I was so
Alpha Dalton’s POVIt had been four days. Four horrible, anxiety ridden days since I brought Tyler to the pack hospital. She has been incoherent the whole time. Her parents and siblings have been back and forth between here and the pack house. The only people that haven’t left her side have been Thorn and myself. Tallon didn’t want to leave her but I made her go back to the pack house to get some rest. Since her and Benny got here they haven’t showered and barely slept. Exhaustion plagued us all. Tyler had finally started to stir yesterday but quickly went back to sleep. Doc Winder seems to think it was due to blood loss. I think there is magic at play here. She should be healing faster than this. When she was facing off with Maxine she suffered a huge slash to her side and I guess the adrenaline made her forget about it or something. I shook my head and mentally kicked myself. How could I be so stupid to involve myself with someone from my pack? Or involve myself with anyo
Tyler’s POVWe arrived at the pack house and everyone was making a fuss over me. I was basically healed and feeling so much better. My mind was clearer and memories of Maxine trying to attack me flooded back. That skanky bitch. She would have gotten me too, if it weren’t for Thorn. He saved me. I had thanked him on the way back from the hospital and told him I also still didn’t fully trust him. He understood. He was fitting in just fine with our family. Momma and daddy had yet to discuss why or how he was taken away, but I’m sure we could get it out of them. Tallon was mind boggled because she never even detected a thought from our parents about him. They this secret very well. Maybe they all together pushed him in the back of their minds to forget the hurt. I doubt you could ever get over that though. Knowing my parents, especially my mother, she probably never got over it. Connelly had got us all settled in and had the kitchen staff start preparing dinner. He had been act
Alpha Dalton’s POV:8 MONTHS LATER:I looked over at my beautiful Luna and smiled. As a man we are taught not to show emotion, but with her standing by my side in all white, I couldn’t help but get a little teary eyed. My dreams have all come true in the matter of a year. I have never been as happy as I am now. We decided to wait for children after her little scare, but then that all went out the window when just a few short weeks later two pink lines popped up. I decided right then and there to make her my wife. I was going to do it anyway but what better way to surprise my momma than with a wedding and a baby. Tyler was upset at first because it wasn’t in her plans and I totally understood that. It’s her body and I told her that whatever decision she wanted to make that I would back her up entirely. Now she is standing next to me in a beautiful flowing white gown with little rose petals sewn into the train. Her hair is down and curled beautifully and light makeup covers her face. Her
Tyler’s POVI watched as Dalton walked through the front door of the pack house. His face was tired and his shoulders hung. He had executed Maxine and Doctor Winder this morning and then we had all helped with tending to the hurt pack members. I didn’t go with him to see them be executed. I couldn’t bring myself to do it even though she had tried to kill me, my family, and Dalton multiple times. I just didn’t want to look her in the eyes as he took her life. I was sitting at the kitchen bar when he walked in. He eyed me and made a straight path to me. When he approached he turned my chair toward him and picked me up by my waist and held me tight to him as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He has hugged me and loved on me multiple times but this was different. Dalton was known around the world for his cruelty but no one but his family, friends, and I knew this side of him. What he has been through lately and what he had to do this morning had upset him and exhausted him, “You okay, Ho
Tyler’s POVOnce we stopped at the border I could see that a war was going on. There were bodies on the ground and the earth was scorched. Werewolves were fighting witches left and right but being taken down easily by their violent blasts of power. If you have ever seen a power box explode and light up the sky that is what it looked like. I scanned the horrific scene frantically. I didn’t see Emery anywhere. I jumped out of the truck without a second to explain and ran towards the chaos. Dalton was hot on my heels, yelling at me to stop but I didn’t care. My best friend was out there somewhere and Maxine had gotten the jump on us., “Tyler! Stop!” He screamed at me. I whipped my head around to see him tearing his shirt off and I screamed back, “No! I have to find Emery!” I continued my sprint until I tripped over someone and landed flat on my chest with a loud thump. I quickly regained my footing and went to take off when I heard my name, “Tyler.” I turned around and it was
Alpha Dalton’s POVHow could you protect a whole pack but yet only truly care for one person? Don’t get me wrong, I care for my pack but not as intensely as I care for Tyler. Nothing comes that close. I looked over at her as we drove to the prison. She was staring out the window and biting one of her nails. I have examined this woman on a stalker level so I know she is nervous when she does that. She would never really admit it though. One thing among a thousand other things I admired about Tyler was her sense of always trying to seem like she was fine. She made others feel calm even though she is probably freaking the fuck out. She turned toward me and gave a half smile but quickly looked back at the window, “She’s coming for me. Isn’t she?” I kept my eyes on the road and made sure my voice came out steady. I wasn’t going to sugar coat it for her. Tyler can handle just about anything you throw her way, “Yes, but I will try my hardest to prevent that.” I saw her shift out o
Alpha Dalton’s POVTyler had gone to the doctor this morning to figure out what was up with all the throwing up she did throughout the night. She was acting weird this morning when she left. I was just finishing up the approval on the design for Genevieve’s house. She decided after the battle that she would stay in the pack. Tyler’s parents went back home and so did her siblings. Tallon and Benny decided to finish out the year where they live and then move their families here. Tyler had been so excited when they said they were coming back. She hasn’t stopped talking about it. Thorn is staying with his parents for now and comes and goes when Tyler needs him. They are quickly becoming the siblings Thorn had always wanted them to be. Life felt complete here, but I was worried about Tyler. She keeps pushing herself to the limit with training and I think it has worn her down immensely. I sighed and rubbed my forehead as a knock sounded from my door. I quickly rubbed the tirednes
Tyler’s POV3weeks laterIt was 3 in the morning when I crept down the stairs to grab a glass of water. Dalton and I had just gotten back from a beach vacation a few days ago and I was so wound up from it still that I couldn’t sleep. I also had been nauseous all day. I rounded the stairs and padded my way into the kitchen with thoughts of Dalton and I making love on the beach in the middle of the night. My smiled quickly faded and was replaced with a mouth open scream when I saw Emery standing in the doorway leading out into the backyard. He quickly spun around and held his fists up and his eyes widened before an aggravated expression took over his face, “What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you scream like that?” My hand went up to my chest as I heaved a deep breath and tried to calm my fast beating heart. I walked toward the fridge and whisper yelled at him, “What the hell are you doing standing in the dark like a creepy weirdo? I’m pretty sure I just p
Tyler’s POVWhy is it that every time I decide to take matters into my own stupid hands I end up knocked out cold? I have to start making better decisions. I squinted through one eye and immediately felt a sharp pain just above my right eyebrow as the light from the room blasted me. I decided that opening both my eyes would be best since I didn’t know where the fuck I was. I glanced around and the first thing that came into focus was my mom sweeping like a mad woman and cursing at my dad while he was watching some car show, “You could get up and help, you know? These men are so messy. Tyler isn’t tidy either so I know I’m going to be over here helping out the cleaning crew once a week. Is this a condom?” I snorted at my mom picking up a wrapper of some sorts and my dads head snapped over to me, “Tyler?” They both came running towards me as I winced and tried to sit up. I felt like I had been run over by a bus. I can’t remember much but I do remember killing him. I remember
Alpha Dalton’s POVAs I headed straight towards the devil incarnate with Thorn on my back I heard nothing but the pounding of my paws hitting the ground and the blood pumping through my veins. Argents eyes were anywhere but on me. He was scanning the field for someone and I know exactly who he was looking for, “Not a chance, asshole!” Knox growled in my head and gave me extra strength to move forward, “Dalton!” Thorn’s voice interrupted my thoughts as I got closer and closer to Argent. I looked to my side slightly and Thorn had his finger pointed to my right, “Tyler!” He yelled loud as I took a double take at my Luna on the back of one of my warriors. Fury was evident in her eyes and her arms were out stretched. Her body was literally in flames, but not burning the wolf she rode, “What the fuck, Tyler? What are you doing?! I told you to stay in the war room!” She turned toward me and even from across the field I could feel her every emotion, “This isn’t just your war, Dalto
Alpha Dalton’s POVThe crisp fall breeze entered my lungs as I stepped out on the field where the rogues will be at in just a matter of minutes. Tyler was tucked safely under my arm, but I knew she could not remain there. She would have to go and stay safely hidden in the war room in the prison. It was heavily guarded and no one was getting in there with our some kind of explosive. I looked down at her and she met my eyes with her mossy green stare. For a moment that is all I saw until the horn sounded. She frantically looked around then back at me. Her eyes searching for some kind of comfort, “Dalton, I-“ I stopped her words with a soft kiss and held her face close to mine. I leaned down and looked from her mouth to her eyes and smiled, “It’s all gonna be okay. You are going with Garrett and Shay,” I waved my two warriors over and they greeted Tyler with a sympathetic smile. They were mates. They knew the agony that Tyler and I felt, “They are going to escort you to the wa
