Kate POV
The 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
Thank you for continuing to follow Alpha Kate's journey. Be sure to leave a review on what you think so far. The next chapter will be released tomorrow.
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
Drake POV “Absolutely not Kate! We don’t even know who we are dealing with and what resources he has at his fingertips! You cannot offer yourself to him. He wants to mark and mate you, Kate. This isn’t a game!” I yell through the phone. Pausing I hear Elise make a sound of disgust as she gets out of bed and pulls her clothes back on. As she leaves the room, she gives me the finger – I smile and blow her a kiss as she slams the door. “Kate, listen to me. Don’t make any decisions until we meet tomorrow. I’ll reach out to my contact and see if I can find anything that will give us an idea who this guy is but please don’t do anything before I get there,” I ask. I admit I am feeling a bit anxious at the thought of her offering
Kate POV We have been discussing the various options for the next rogue attack; however, we have agreed to nothing yet. The Betas, Gamma, and Drake are completely against me trying to reason with the Alpha rogue at the border. We presume he is close when the attacks take place, which would make it an ideal time for us to try to garner peace. Taking a sip of what seems like my hundredth cup of coffee, I wait for a break in the yelling. Yes yelling, each male sitting at the table is trying to offer reasons to me as to why this will not work. I understand the risk but cannot see another viable option. Looking around the table, I look to my father, he hasn’t weighed in on any of the conversation and I’m curious what he is
Kate POV Drake texts me he is ready and in the main lobby waiting for me. For some reason Lily has me pondering, is this a date? No, it can’t be a date. It’s just two people going out for a couple drinks. Definitely not a date. Ugh so why am I struggling to decide what to wear?!? Moving to my closet, I decide on my skinny jeans, cream colored tank, and cream-colored leather jacket. I touch up my mascara and lip gloss and I am good to go. Moving out of my suite, I head to the lobby. As I see Drake, he was just hanging up on a call and looks me up and down. He leans in to softly say in my ear, “You look stunning,” and puts his hand on the lower part of my back, leading me out to the vehicles. Asking if he wants to ride with me in my Jeep, he holds out his h
Kate POV Drake had reached over and held my hand as we drove back to the Pack house. I was excited and nervous at the same time, but knew I wanted it. As we arrived, we got out of the car, holding hands as we walked into the Pack house. Nobody was around, which was a relief. We headed right to my room. As soon as the door was shut, we tossed our jackets off and then Drake picked me up, me wrapping my legs around his waist as he held me against the door just staring into my eyes. A hot fire was growing between us. I could feel his hard cock against me and could feel myself getting wetter. Suddenly it was like we couldn’t keep our mouths from one another. Moving my head to Drake, I put my lips on his for a soft kiss,
Kate POV Waking up this morning alone was disappointing, but I appreciated Drake’s discretion. Stretching in bed, I had a delicious ache between my legs. Feeling myself go red, I smiled at what we had done last night. I had no regrets and was looking forward to when we could do it again. Looking at the clock, I cringe. It’s almost time for my meeting with my father. I am expected to give him my decision as to whether I will be the negotiator or not. He already knows my decision; I never turn back from a challenge, and this would definitely be a challenge. And I like to win. A win of this magnitude would solidify my role as Alpha for the Pack. Getting up and grabbing a quick shower, I pull on a pair of bootcut je
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
