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
Boyd It’s been more than a week and I haven’t heard from Kate. Nor have I heard from Louise. Louise did something to screw up things for me with Kate. The Summer Ball was just a couple days away. I needed to get to Kate one way or the other or my plans would be ruined. I didn’t put in all this time to not gain any rewards. By this point I had expected to be sleeping with Kate and on my way to marking her. Picking up my cell phone, I text Louise to call me now or else. I sit back and wait for a message back from her. I had tried this tactic before but of course she had continued to ignore me. I had as much to lose as she did if I spilled her secrets. However, I was at the point of not caring.&nb
Kate POV I had heard from Louise again and she caught me off guard asking about my date for the Summer Ball. I told her again I was going alone and was looking forward to it. End of story. She wasn’t impressed and even went so far as to suggest Boyd would be a nice backup for me that evening, in the event my mate isn’t there. I knew my odds of finding my second chance mate were limited. I had met a lot of the Packs who were coming, but there were still some new ones or old Packs with new Alphas leading the Packs. Regardless I was open to whatever the Moon Goddess deemed fair for me. That had to be on the backburner though. Our rogue situation had increased slightly, and we were focused heavily on getting it unde
Louise POV Finally, Kate has called me to visit. I was getting worried after our latest interactions but now that she’s called me to invite me over, I’m confident things are going my way. I got a hold of Drake right away and he agreed to go with me to see Kate. As we walk into the Pack house, I could sense a bit of tension around the building. As I went to Kate’s office her assistant told me that she was expecting me in the conference room. Odd, I thought we’d have had a more personal discussion. I was even more flabbergasted when I walk in and see Beta Reid and Gamma John sitting there. A feeling of unease goes down my back. I don’t trust the two men. I am confident I can pull the wool o
Kate POV Alpha Corey had arrived early morning the day of the Summer Ball, so Beta Reid and I met with him and his Beta. We explained what had been happening with Louise and to say he was outraged would be an understatement. He actually filled in a lot of blanks for us, to which I had a sick feeling in my stomach. It was enough to have to consider but the worst part was having to tell Drake the truth. And when were we going to tell him or even confront Louise and Boyd. We didn’t want to ruin the Summer Ball for everyone, and we were comfortable with the security levels we had in place. Our main concern was dealing with Louise and Boyd when the time was right. Looking at my watch I see its just noon. Knowing there would be Alph
Kate POV As we are getting our finishing touches on hair and make-up, we look at each other and laugh. Our hair looks amazing, our make-up spectacular. Now all we need to do it get dressed and prepare to head over to the convention centre to kick off the Summer Ball. The doors wont open until we arrive and are ready to welcome everyone. As Lily gets help putting on her dress, I get help putting mine on. It had been a month since I had looked at my dress and I loved seeing it again. I fell in love with it all over again. As is my trademark, it seems, I went with an emerald green dress in a tight-fitting dress that flared out from the knees down to my ankles. Mine was a V-neck in the front and a matching V in the back to just above my bra. It had gold bead accents on the bottom ab
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
