Kate POV
As much as I knew what was happening, I was still caught off guard. I shouldn’t be but it stings seeing them together. I know what it means, I know I have to be strong once again, but it doesn’t make it any easier.
Moving past the new couple, I head toward my office without acknowledging them. I just need to get to my office, close my door and throw myself into my work. As I sit down at my desk, I sip my coffee and pick away at the blueberry muffin I had grabbed. I had watched Drake and Louise when they left for a walk, so I had thought the coast would be clear.
I saw Lily for a couple minutes when I went to the Dining Hall but wasn’t ready to talk about anything. What was there to talk about? Dra

Boyd POV Grunting, I reach my climax, having given the therapist three orgasms already. She was on the fence about changing her report, so I was giving her a little encouragement. Rafe had taken a step backward, but he was starting to move forward again. I had a message from Kate to call regarding the missing reports. I had wanted to call her sooner, but with that hiccup, I couldn’t without avoiding her questions on my nephew. Everything I have been doing for the past year has focused entirely on my nephew and his needs. I have spoken to my brother about getting someone else to look after him, but he doesn’t trust anyone else. Sighing I roll out of bed and head to the shower. I am tired of the human controlling
Drake POV Looking at Louise I had to be honest and recognize there was a pull toward her. I knew it was the mate bond and I didn’t trust it. I was conflicted with the feelings I had for Kate. I knew Kate wouldn’t accept me as her chosen mate now that I had a mate. Unless I convinced Louise to reject me. I sat and listened to Louise talking. She had a lot of questions and I guess I had to make a decision whether I would take her back to my place or leave her here for a bit longer. “Have you heard anything from Kate on the DNA test you took?” I ask her. “No, she said she hadn’t heard anything yet but that was yesterday,” she replied. “Well once you get those results, we’ll have to figure out what you are going to do,” I tell her.&nbs
Kate POV I had decided I needed to speak with Alpha Jackson, Beta Gregory, and Beta Reid. The next day we met in the conference room in the morning. Although Jackson and Gregory were retired, we still called them by their official titles out of respect. I had already told my father what we knew – that Louise was his daughter. He wasn’t hearing it and wouldn’t discuss it beyond our discussion today. I knew he needed time, but it wasn’t her fault. To punish her for something he had done many years before wasn’t right. I hadn’t processed my own feelings on having a half-sister. I didn’t even know what to call her. Calling her my sister was uncomfortable but calling her my half-sister was equally uncomfortable. I hoped we could be friends bu
Drake POV Finally, a few minutes alone with her. I move to take her hand, but she pulls it back. I have to expect that. I don’t imagine this is easy for her. “I’m shocked at Louise’s request. I felt you were more than generous with your original offer,” I say. “I thought so too, but we expected a counter, so it was fine,” Kate replies. “I need you to know I don’t know how I feel about Louise, there is something I am struggling to trust with her,” I say to Kate. She looks at me considering what I have shared with her. “I don’t know what to say, Drake. I know she’s your mate. I know what we had has to end. You seemed like you were getting along today, I think it’s important. And it’s im
Kate POV It’s been four months since Boyd, and I had our first official date. We have maintained the effort of being friends during this time. We try to connect once a week for supper or go out to the Club or whatever else friends do. I admit we’ve fallen into a comfortable existence, but nothing has progressed. We are good friends, but I don’t foresee anything coming of it. I admit I have considered him my back up plan if I don’t find my second chance mate. I’m getting tired of waiting. Some wouldn’t say it’s been long as I’m approaching my 20th birthday, but it feels like I’ve lived a couple lifetimes over the past couple years. My father finally agreed to m
Boyd POV It has been months since Kate, and I started our friendship. I regret agreeing to be pushed into the friend zone, but I figured it was the best way to gain her trust. Now she sees me more like her gay BFF (best friend forever) versus someone she would consider as her chosen mate.I had hoped by this point we would be sleeping together and out of the friend zone. I wanted her to select me as her chosen mate before the Summer Ball. That hasn’t happened and it isn’t looking promising for it to happen. Her and Lily are really bent on this Summer Ball producing their respective mates. Lily continues to fill her head with mates and second chance mates; I could do with a little less Lily in her life. All I can hope is that keeping her away from others at the Ball will help to solidify me as a choice for chosen mate.My curr
Louise POV As I ride Drake, I moan and lean down nuzzling his neck. Licking his marking spot, I feel him thrust a little harder to match my movements as he grips my hips. I know it gets him every time I touch this spot. Forgetting everything else, I quickly extend my canines and bite into him before he knows what is happening. The feeling is amazing, I am moaning grinding harder on Drake, as he flips me over driving into me over and over again. I feel my second orgasm wash over me as I continue to whimper riding toward another wave. As Drake continues to push me, I feel him leaning toward me to mark me. He hesitates and I whimper again. No, he can’t not mark me. The feeling is amazing, and I feel more connected
Kate POV Today was the day I was going dress shopping with Louise. We had shopped together a couple times but had extremely different tastes in clothing. I was more conservative in my clothing choices, preferring to tease versus outright put on display the goods. She liked revealing outfits, and I suspect her dress would follow along those lines. I was meeting her at the shop where Lily and I had bought our dresses. As we arrived at the same time, we did a side hug and walked into the store together. I showed her the dress I had picked out and then the dress Lily had picked. She kind of smirked as she started to look around. I wasn’t surprised with her response. As we moved around, I pointed out a couple that 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
