“Lily – I need you ASAP. Where are you?” I ask Lily through our mind-link. There is only one person who would understand why I am freaking out right now. Waiting for a couple minutes, she finally replies, “Ugh Katie – I am in training and then I have some work to do at the childcare.”
Lily loved pups and couldn’t wait to have pups of her own. For now, she appeased that desire by working toward an Early Childhood degree and volunteering at the childcare in the Pack house. It was set up so that all Pack members would have free childcare, so they could work full-time, if they chose.
“I need you to come to my room. We welcomed the Alphas, Alpha Boyd is here, “ Lily interrupts “oh thee Alpha slash Uncle Boyd

Kate POV As I walked toward our large conference meeting room, I could hear some of the Alphas had already arrived. Walking into the room, I looked around taking in who was in attendance so far and nodding as I made my way into the room. I stopped to speak with a couple Alphas making small talk. We had two Alphas who were a little more old school than the other four who were more progressive. The old school Alphas had an opinion that a female should not become the Alpha to a Pack. The other three had been supportive up to this point and I anticipate Alpha Boyd will be equally supportive.My father’s position would be at the head of the table, I would sit immediately to his right. From there the other Alpha’s sit accordingly to when they joined the alliance. Most had their Betas with
Kate POV Everyone started talking at once tossing out questions. Why me? What did they want with me? Did Blue Moon have any more information to share? They were coming at me so quickly I couldn’t keep up. Raising his hand, Alpha Jackson said, “You know what we know gentlemen. This is what we have brought you here for you. Your expertise, your counsel and most importantly your opinion on an alliance with Blue Moon Pack and their allies.”. Alpha Boyd looked down the table at me, as did Rafe with concern flashing on both their faces. Looking away, I didn’t want pity. I wanted action. I wanted people who had some answers that we didn’t have. And most importantly I wanted t
Rafe POV I had managed to get out from under my uncle’s thumb for a few minutes as a call came in which he had to take. I hurried back down the stairs hoping to catch Kate and her friend. I know I had screwed up, but I was used to getting second chances. I was not going to accept no – not until she had gotten to know me a bit better. And then I was confident she would be mine. Looking at her, being around her, and hearing her speak today has just reinforced with me the mistake I made that night. I will not make that mistake again. Regardless of what Alpha Jackson said, I will speak with her again tonight at the dinner. I will ask for some time alone with her and hopefully convince her to give me another chance.&nbs
Kate POVWith my Alpha blood I was able heal the claw marks quickly. They were a little red but nothing that wouldn’t be 100% healed by tomorrow morning. I reflected on Rafe and his instability and wondered what we would do as a punishment. That would have to be for tomorrow to be decided.When Lily arrived, I filled her in on what had happened. Lily hugs me, “Thank Goddess you are alright Katie. Do you still want to do supper tonight? We could order in, instead?”. I appreciate her concern. I was shaken up – mostly because I had not expected Rafe to be so unhinged. I was a strong woman and was able to defend myself, but for a moment I felt like every other woman. Something was happening outside of my control, I fortunately was able to quickly gain control. And I appreciated the help when it arrived. I felt a twinge of guilt thinking I should only rely on myself as I have bee
Kate POVThe meetings passed by quickly in the morning. Much had been decided or discussed over drinks the night before. It was agreed to move forward on a trial basis for the alliance with Blue Moon Pack. They will be offered a one-year agreement, providing nothing happens that warrants removal from the alliance during that first year. This clause applies to all within the alliance and is not uncommon to have this stipulation. Although we would normally enter a longer-term agreement, one year was agreed by all.I only had a chance to briefly speak with Alpha Boyd before the meetings. He was late arriving for breakfast and only had time to grab a coffee before he headed off to the meeting room. I was a little surprised but didn’t think much more of it. We were all busy and had a lot happening at any given time.After we concluded lunch and we saw the last couple - Alpha Drew and his Luna Sarah off, we moved b
Drake POV Elise was on her hands and knees as I pushed through her folds. Leaning forward I pushed her shoulders down to allow me more access as I started thrusting, harder and harder inside of her. Elise was moaning her pleasure as she was close to reaching her fourth orgasm in the last half hour. I had been riding her hard the past couple weeks, frustrated at having not heard back from Alpha Jackson and wondering what was going on with the Alliance. As I reached my own release, I reached around to Elise’s clit and pushed her over the edge, she screamed her release as I quickly joined her leaning over her spent. Sliding out of her, I remove the condom and toss it in the garbage, before crawling into bed with Elise. Taking her in my arms, she snuggles closer to me, quickly falling asleep as I kiss her
Kate POV Drake and his team had the alliance documents for review for a week. We had just heard from him yesterday that he would like to meet today to finish negotiations. When he had arrived, we had not anticipated any further discussion, but he wanted to negotiate terms and access to the alliance. Alpha Jackson was not impressed with this tactic and had just finished advising Drake so, when Drake advised he had some intel surrounding the attacks. “Holding information over us to get your own way in negotiations of joining our alliance, Drake, is not the way to negotiate in good faith. Perhaps this isn’t the right alliance for you and Blue Moon Pack,” Alpha Jackson concludes. Drake sits up, surprised that his move did not garner more interest. We had our suspici
Alpha Jackson POV Drake’s words kept resonating in my mind, “Thinking back to years gone by, Alpha Jackson, you will need to think of someone who would feel you wronged them terribly.”. The truth was in my younger days I had been cocky, arrogant, and felt I was untouchable. I passed judgements quickly, with less consideration than I had learned to have over the years. A sad reality is there were a few I could reflect on whom I had banished but I had heard they had long since perished. I struggled to think of anyone else who would hold such resentment against me they would want to obtain my daughter to hurt me. They knew my biggest weakness would be my dear Luna and our daughter. As I sat there contemplating my past choices, I
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
