Three days! Three days she’s been recovering in the pack hospital. I’d kept her parents away, not wanting them to come here just yet. I know it’s been frustrating for them.
Still, I also wanted to ensure my pack was safe before letting anyone enter the city. I’ve not left her side this whole time. Neither has Hana. I’m glad she’s finally coming around to my mate.
I’ve let John run things while I have been here. John took care of the clean-up. The rogues were all burned. John told me that Kurt insisted on being the one to throw Siegfried on the fire himself. I can’t begin to imagine what’s going through his head right now.
Kurt never knew Siegfried as a father figure. The bastard was more a nightmare for him than anything else. And like the rest of us, Kurt wanted Siegfried gone. But still. There is a connection between parents and their children. I also don’t know what the future will hold for Kurt.
Siegfried was the alpha of the rogues. A

I was still coming to terms with the twelve pack members who died, especially the three little boys. I didn’t even know them, but I felt their loss in my heart. After my string of visitors finally ended, Doctor Bryant gave me my discharge papers. I was glad to get out of that hospital room. I’d only spent a few times at the hospital as a kid, like when I broke my arm in first grade. Where was that werewolf healing back then? Not that I should complain because I became ambidextrous as a result. And my cast did make for an excellent weapon to wield against Mike Gilbert when he tried to bully Alex. “Have you called my parents? I’m amazed they aren’t here. I’m amazed Alex isn’t, for that matter,” I questioned as I followed Logan out of the hospital. “I did call them. They know you were in the hospital. But I haven’t let them come,” Logan stated. “What? Why? They are my parents, and you kept them from me? The fuck, Logan?’ I asked, speeding up to smack
Did she seriously say what I think she did? ‘You heard our mate just fine.’ Jericho snorted. ‘So mark and mate her.’ he added. “Aurelia…,” I sighed, looking at her, trying to find anything in her eyes that says she’s not serious. “I want this, Logan. I want you,” she whispered, blushing. “You’re killing me,” I groaned, resting my forehead against hers. Her forehead wrinkled as she looked at me, a little confused. “Do… do you not want to?” she asked, starting to lean away. I adjusted my hold so she couldn’t. “Oh, that’s not the problem. I want to,” I assured her with a short, hungry kiss. “But?” she sighed as I pulled back from the kiss. “Your parents are in the backyard waiting for us,” I reminded her. She groaned and leaned her forehead into mine. “How could I forget that?” she sighed. “Apparently, you are just that horny,” I teased, nipping at her lips. “Asshole,” she grumbled against my lips as she wrapped her legs around my waist.
My parents seemed satisfied with letting me stay the rest of the summer with Logan. The only problem is Alex. I love him, he’s my best friend, and like the brother I never had. But he’s the worst cock blocker in this damn house! I had to move my stuff into one of the guest rooms when my parents were here, so they didn’t know I’d been staying in Logan’s room. It’s like Alex has a sixth sense because anytime Logan and I have been alone in either of our rooms, he just pops up before anything fun can happen. And it’s really starting to piss me off. I’d finally decided that I didn’t want to wait to have sex or be marked. If my family hadn’t been here, we would have sealed the deal that day I got out of the hospital. So I’ll admit that his constant interruptions are why I have no sympathy when I’ve watched Alex getting his ass kicked in training. The most I did was ask Logan to switch him to the training with the teens that haven’t shifted. Af
I really hadn’t wanted to walk away from Aurelia at the training grounds. Not just because I don’t like being away from her, but also I want to know what Alex wanted to talk to her about that involved quitting. If he’s quitting, that means I win the bet. It also means he’s as weak as I imagined. I even let him join the fifteen-year-olds, so he had a better chance. But I should have put him in Hana’s group, judging by how badly Violet beat him today. Though my daughter’s already shown, she can kick his ass with little effort. I’ll have to wait till later to find out if he quit or not. For now, I have meetings and work to do. My pack needs me to get things back on track with the threat of the Syndicate gone. They need me to sign off on different things and, of course, have one annoying question. This is why I’m on a zoom meeting with the sub-Betas of the other cities my pack lives in throughout my territory. “When do we get to meet this new Luna we’ve heard abo
It felt damn good to put Jenna in her place earlier. Hopefully, she learned her lesson. Not only to never mess with me but that Logan is mine. I knew he was there watching. I could feel his eyes on me. Alex and Silvercloud had come out to watch, but they came close to watch, unlike Logan. After the fight, I noticed Silvercloud had been recording. Because, of course, he got it on video. That boy is obsessed with technology. But whatever floats his boat. I hope whoever he ends up mated with doesn’t mind having a science lab for a bedroom. I peaked in his room, and other than the bed, I wouldn’t have guessed it was a bedroom with all the workstations and bits of metal and wires everywhere. Beyond Silvercloud and Alex, I caught a glimpse of Logan. He’d managed to stay downwind of the training grounds and just far enough out of sight that most wouldn’t notice him. I appreciate that he didn’t get closer. I didn’t need people knowing he was there. They
It’s probably the mate bond pulling us together that makes it so easy to talk to her. It took me months to really open up with Suzu, and even then, it was longer still before I discussed pack business with her. I guess even back then, my gut knew Suzu wouldn’t and couldn’t be my Luna and that treating her like one would only cause both of us trouble down the road. It’s, of course, different with Aurelia. She is my mate and Luna. I know she can’t take on the role officially yet, but it’s best to have her start learning now. And given how she handled things during the attack, minus the scaring the crap out of me with falling out a window with a knife in her side, she’s going to be a fierce Luna. “I think that’s enough pack business. We’re supposed to be on a date,” Aurelia smiled as she slipped out of her chair and moved around the table. There was a sparkle of mischief in those emerald eyes but also a hint of nerves. I wonder what she’s pla
I must have fallen asleep at some point. But honestly, who could blame me after all that. I deserve to sleep for the next couple of days after the workout Logan gave me. There had been two more rounds after he returned from the bathroom. And the last one had been in the shower. When we were supposed to be trying to wash off the heavy scent of sex before going home. Not that it would matter if we didn’t smell like sex. Everyone will know we had it. We marked each other, and our scents had mixed in the way that Sybille and Charles or Aislinn and David smell like each other. I haven’t even gotten a look at my mark. I wonder what it looks like. It hadn’t fully formed by the time I last remember having my eyes open. Mmming, I rolled in Logan’s arm, turning to face him. I smiled as I opened my eyes to see his blue eyes looking right back at me. I was startled for a moment, thinking he was sleeping with his eyes open till I heard him laughing. “Ugh, yo
I'm probably a horrible daughter. I went the rest of the summer without calling my parents and filling them in on what I’ve learned about my birth parents and their not-so-extinct pack. I just didn’t know how to tell them. I don’t know how they’d react. Even though Logan kept telling me I should just tell them I haven’t. And in my defense, I have been super busy. I went from just learning how to fight in and out of my wolf form. The responsibilities of a Luna to now having to learn to be an Alpha to the thirty-six Fire Wolf pack members that arrived at the sunrise after Logan and I completed our bond. There weren’t many available houses in Mount Hood for them to take residence, so they’ve been crashing with various pack members. At the same time, we started construction on a new development of houses to accommodate my pack. We’ve integrated them the best we can with Logan’s pack, letting them join the training, and for those of school age, they were enr
