Katy’s POV
As werewolves, we were also recognized at the door as VIP’s when we went to the Club. Which was awesome as there was always a line up waiting to get in. Listening to the groans as we went around the line, we smiled to the Bouncer, who we had knew from our Pack, and walked on in.
The place was crowded tonight. There were a lot of people on the dance floor. The music was thumping, perfect for dancing and the bar had a slight line up. Looking at the crowd dancing, and the bar, we all agreed to head up to the bar first. As we got there, it turned out not to be as crowded as we had thought and were able to get our drinks right away. Looking around we found a table toward the back, where we could see everything but also catch up or head to the dance fl
Drake’s POV After wrapping up my late meeting with Kate’s father, I happened to see Kate and her friends climbing into a car and heading into town. I admit she intrigued me when I had bumped into her earlier coming out of her father’s office. Her eyes were captivating, and she was downright beautiful. I had heard she had been rejected by her mate, but I was impressed with how well she was handling things. And, like many, shocked she had been rejected. She came across as a confident young woman. I had heard of Kate at various tables and had met her father a few months back at another joint meeting. Being an Alpha was a privilege but being an Alpha without a Pack to lead, was challenging and often frustrating. I had joined the Blue Moon Pack as a child
Kate POV Getting in pretty late last night, I can’t help my curiosity surrounding the man named Drake. He was good looking, confident and there were some questions around what his dealings were with my father. I enjoyed a couple dreams about the mystery man, his hands on my body and us swaying to the music. However, Saturday morning came to quickly. Dragging my butt when I did finally crawl out of bed, I make my training session for 9 am. I always spar and train with my Beta, Reid, and the Head Warrior / Head Trainer John. However, with John on vacation it would just be Reid and myself this morning. Although I had been out late the night before, it did not take long to get into the swing of fighting
Drake’s POV I had made my way home on my motorbike and arrived home shortly after three in the morning. Blue Moon Pack was roughly an hour or so from Golden Moon Pack. Not too far but far enough to warrant doing business with them. I lived in the Pack house along with a lot of the single, unmated members. My room was on the third floor – as an Alpha I had a higher standing in the Pack; however, would never be assuming the role of the Alpha for the Blue Moon Pack. My room was spacious, with its own bathroom, sitting area, workspace, and separate bedroom. Grabbing a quick shower, my thoughts lingered on my meetings today and the end of my evening. Drying off, I walk naked to my bed, turning off the light as I go.I was exhausted yet meeting Kate had piqued my curiosity.&n
Kate POV As we wrapped up the day of training around 3 pm, I had to decide what I was going to do with my father. I did not want to keep dragging this up, but to consider moving Reid to Beta before me going to Alpha was wrong and unprecedented in most packs. As I pondered what to do, I grabbed my stuff up, starting to walk out the door of the training centre. I waved goodbye to some stragglers as I went out. The day was beautiful. I had almost missed it with the intensity of the training today. We had a couple groups do double training shifts on Saturdays as they had more time available for training at that time than they did through the work week. During the week many worked and could not dedicate as much
Kate POV I was exhausted. We had three rogue attacks in the past three weeks. We had minimal casualties thanks to our aggressive training regimen. However, we were also cautious. The number of rogues coming to break through our barriers were increasing. We had stopped them just as they crossed, a couple escaped our warriors by not crossing the border as they saw what was happening to the other rogue wolves. those we caught were destroyed. With the exception of one rogue per group – we kept them for interrogation. This had always been our strategy, to learn what we could from the captured rogue. It often included torture as they were quite committed to their missions. After three rogues were captured during various attacks, interrogated, and destroyed we were no further ahead in under
Kate POV “I beg your pardon?” asking my father in shock. We had talked about Drake, and he never indicated there was a discussion of an alliance. In fact, I assumed his connection was a minor annoyance. Never could I have anticipated this. “Reid, John – would you mind giving us some privacy? Kate and I have some things to discuss,” Alpha Jackson requested of both men. Standing and nodding both men looked at me before nodding to Alpha Jackson as they left the room. Standing I walked over to the window and looked out at the overcast skies. We did not typically get a lot of rain, but when we did it stayed for a few days. It made tracking a challenge as all the scents you would usuall
Drake POV I admit I had been surprised to hear from Alpha Jackson. It had been a few weeks with silence. I was starting to doubt my abilities to attract him to our alliance offer. I had a problem to fix – expanding the scope of our alliances and I was struggling to make traction with our priority Pack – Golden Moon. There were no rumours through the grapevine, so to speak, to give an indication why he would call now. He called a couple of days ago, and I was lying in bed pondering whether Kate would be attending the meeting. Feeling an arm snake across my chest, I look at Elise who is just waking in my bed. She is a blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty I had met a couple years before. We had recently started d
Kate POV “Rogues?” Drake asked. “Have you been able to determine if they are affiliated with any specific Pack?”. As Drake looked at both of us, I was perplexed, and my father was uncomfortable. How would anyone know what Pack exists in the rogue world? Nobody associated with them, that’s why they are considered rogues. Kate shook her head and started, “We have had three attacks over the past few weeks. Every time we have taken one captive, we have got nothing from them as to why they are here or what their end game is.”. Kate continues, “We have had some minor disturbances from no rogues as well – lost wolves from other Packs who have stumbled onto our borders. We have alliances with their Packs, so we returned them without hesitation. While this
Kate POV We caught an early flight out to get back to the Pack by early afternoon. I had a hairstylist and makeup artist waiting to do hair and makeup for my mom, me and of course Amelie wouldn’t be left out. We had a gorgeous dress picked out for Amelie – she will look like a princess. I haven’t seen my mom’s dress yet, but I know it will be appropriate for the occasion. While we were home, I had bought a new dress for the occasion. As is the case with ceremonies the Luna traditionally wears a long gown. I decided to go with white for the Luna ceremony. A white gown with a slit up my right leg to mid-thigh. There was gold trim on the dress around the waist and the neckline. The front was up to the neck while the back was open to the waist. And of course, I’d top it off with black h
Kate POV The alliance meeting had gone very well. Once Alpha Drew got past all the Boyd crap, and the fact that I was still going to be a co-Alpha to my Pack, he was on board. It sweetened the deal that we were joining our alliance with the larger alliance of Colby’s Pack. Everyone was quite excited about the opportunity this alliance would provide. It was agreed that every Pack in the alliance would meet with their own smaller Packs within their alliances to ensure they followed the rules of the Silver Crescent Pack. Failure to do so could result in either the smaller Pack member being removed from the alliance, or the Pack in the alliance of six could be removed. Needless to say, nobody wanted to be removed. Where this was a sh
Kate POV The morning came quickly. My mom has taken Amelie off on a girl’s trip for the day knowing that we would be swamped today with Pack business. As they head off, we wave to Amelie who is waving in the window. I can only imagine the things Amelie will come home with today to take back. We may need to get a separate plane to bring her things home. As I am just about to turn back into the Pack house, I hear a motorbike coming up the road. I pause for a moment; surprised Drake is so early. Then I realize in his shoes I’d probably be doing the same thing. I don’t want him taking over my meeting before I have it. I wait for him to run up the stairs uncertain what to do. Hugging does not feel c
Kate POV Waking in Colby’s arms every morning this past week in the place I would soon call home, was amazing. We had breakfast with Amelie daily before she went to school. I was on my way home, with Amelie and Colby, to try to wrap up some pressing details around the move I was making. And to bring home some additional things I wanted to have with me. I had conducted a lot of video chats with Beta Reid and Gamma John throughout the week. I would check in on the Pack activities and resolving some challenges daily with the three of us. We went over training plans for our warriors, and they kept me up to date on any issues with the border patrol. This week was a calm week. Both Reid and John were happy for me that I had decided to
Colby POV I was a little anxious thinking Kate had made a decision about the future. I know she was happy with Amelie, now that we had gotten everything straightened out. I was thankful to the Moon Goddess that I had got there in time to help her deal with the wolves. I have no doubt Kate would have fought them off, but not being able to shift would have made it that much harder. And because she had to deal with that situation as a result of my own Pack member, caused me immense guilt. I don’t know what I would have done if Kate had been seriously hurt or worse. If I could, I would kill Jessica again for what she did. As I sit in my room, I can hear the giggles from Kate and Amelie from down the hall. Deciding to head
Colby POV As I’m sitting there with my parents Amelie comes running in the door, tears on her face and so winded and upset she can’t get her words out. Wondering where Kate is, I try to get her to calm down, and help her breathe. She must have run quite a distance and been frightened to be reacting this way. As she starts to calm down, she puts her head in my neck saying she’s sorry. I’m so confused I don’t know what to make of it. I take her arms in my hands and gently pull her out of my neck. “Amelie, what are you sorry for?” I ask. With tears streaming down her face, I wipe her cheeks. “I took Kate in the woods,”; “Okay where is Kate now?” I ask. “She’s in the woods,” she replies. “Is she hurt
Kate’s POV Shocked I feel like I got kicked in the gut. Why would she even think about Jessica? I thought her and Colby were a passing fling. I didn’t realize Jessica had been part of Colby’s life and in turn Amelie’s life. Looking at Colby, he shakes his head, not clear what is happening. As Colby’s parents hear this, they move forward to welcome me, with both his mother and father hugging me in acceptance. As Colby stands there in discomfort, I start to look away from him. I’m not clear what I walked into, but this was not what I expected the first time I met his family. Colby puts Amelie down and she runs off just in time for me to see Jessica smirking before anyone else saw her. Reaching her hand down to Amelie, she takes her along to play, I assume.
Kate POV “Promise me you will call me, if you need something, Reid?” I ask for the hundredth time. “Yes Kate, we will be fine for a few days without you,” he says. “And we’ll video chat every day?” I ask. “Yes Kate, same time every day, we’ll video chat,” he says a little too condescending for my liking, but I let it go. I’m incredibly panicked. This is the first time I’ve left my Pack for any amount of time that wasn’t related to a crisis of some sort. I’m going home with Colby. I can’t wait to see his Pack, meet his family, and especially meet Amelie. I have some gifts for her, that Colby helped me pick out. A purple elephant – she collects elephants, and she loves the color purple.
Colby POV It had been three weeks, and nothing had changed. I had to get back to my Pack, but I didn’t want to leave Kate. I knew from her doctor they were just waiting for her to come out of the coma. The mood around her Pack had been somber. Everyone was waiting. What everyone didn’t know yet was that Kate’s leg had some damage that had not repaired itself yet. It had to be reset when she finally made it to the Pack hospital. The doctor was hopeful her wolf will be able to heal it once they both come out of the coma, but it was hard to say what would happen. I knew if Kate lost the ability to shift, she would be devastated. But for me, her being alive is the only thing that matters. As
