We made our way to our scouting location without another incident. We were checking out a watch tower. Someone passed me binoculars and I quickly began looking around. It didn’t seem like anyone was there. I estimated the tower to only be about a quarter mile over the property line.
“Doesn’t seem like anyone is there,” Jake said, sneaking up on me.
“You’re not supposed to be so close,” I said, annoyed.
“Dude nobody knows this area better than me, I spent a lot of fucking nights in that tower,” he said, defiant.
“Link some of your guys, see what they’re saying,” I said. He nodded.
“Greg’s location is empty too, about four miles west of he
~Tyra’s Point of View~“He’s just so incredible! I mean yeah, he kind of looks like a caveman, and ohh let me tell you he was rough with me like one too! But I fucking loved it,” Vanessa said, rubbing her arms.“Do I have to hear this .. all night,” I whined.“Yes! You do damn it! If I can’t gush to you about my mate, then I only have mom and that’s just not happening,” she said, plopping on the bed.My parents had gone to Ridge’s pack, to help with things while most of the men were gone. We’d called them about an hour ago and they were wrangling some pups, trying to help get them ready for bed.“But even though he’s huge and sol
There was no time and not nearly enough hands to try and put it out. Our best hope was to evacuate everyone, unless driving everyone out of the house to be exposed was their plan. I quickly noticed there were already a lot of broken windows and my heart sank at how terrified everyone must be. My eyes darted to the trees, and I made at least seven sets of wolf eyes staring back at me. I spun around and moved back out front where I saw more people teleporting in, and more leaving. Zach was now here. “What do you know,” he said, running toward me. “At least seven wolves in the woods to the side of the house that’s on fire,” I said, catching my breath. “I made several out by my house, running toward the training grounds,” my
~Ridge’s Point of View~The fight broke out before it should have, before we had the numbers. However, the longer it went on the more reinforcements we had pouring in. Not to mention that Tyson was quite literally a wild beast, ripping out throats left and right. I was damn well going to invite him to help us train sometime.*Where is Zander,* I asked Pike and Nate.*No clue,* Nate said.*Don’t know,* Pike said.I felt a sudden pain in my chest, Tyra. She was scared, literally terrified. I was feeling her through our bond. Why would she be scared? She’s supposed to be-I was taken out of my thoughts as I felt the roar of a wolf behind me, I jerked m
~Tyra’s Point of View~ My thoughts were all over the place. When your pack hurts, you hurt, but obviously this was my first time feeling this pain. Several had been killed tonight, and I felt it in my bones. I felt the anguish of those suffering from injuries. I needed to do more, this was my pack. But right now, there was nothing I could do … not until Zander was dead. My she-wolf warriors had shoved me out the door until we were outside and close to the forest. I pleaded with them, I told them I would not leave my Alpha. I would not leave the injured. By the time we finished our argument I could hear Zander’s voice. It carried in the wind and echoed off the forest, he was out front. I convinced the ladies to shift back and we crept around the far side of the building. My heart nearly exploded whe
~Ridge’s Point of View~~One Week Later~With Zander dead, there was a new sense of calm that fell over all of the packs. There was a hope that rejuvenated everyone, and made us want to find a new normal. Zach and I immediately called for a meeting of Alphas and ranked warriors to join in solidarity and move forward in search of common ground.We all essentially wanted the same things: we wanted our packs to flourish and be safe. The days of walking on eggshells and being afraid of your neighbor would be gone. We would have only one common enemy: any rogues that saw fit to do bad things and any bad supernatural creatures.We greatly hoped that everyone working together would also decrease the rogue population … wolves genera
~Ryan’s Point of View~ I know sometimes I’m a little slow with obvious things, but I was quickly figuring out something that should make absolutely no sense. I had to be hallucinating. “Where is she,” I demanded, staring at the confused siblings. “She’s still a pup and they don’t come to mating parties,” the she-wolf said. Nate and I locked eyes intensely. “What pack are you from,” he demanded. “Hollow Hill,” Greg said, still confused. My feet were already moving and Nate was only two steps behind me. I’d have to race back to camp and get a vehicle, which might leave some people short for getting home
~Missy’s Point of View~ I stared down at my breakfast. Two hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon and a grapefruit. Yuck. I’d rather starve, then I guess at least I’d be the twig they want me to be. “Darling eat,” mom said. “If I can only eat eggs can they not at least be scrambled or something else,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Honey, you’ll be 17 in less than a year! You still have all that baby weight, do you want to disappoint your mate,” she said, stuffing her face with pancakes. “Baby weight? Really,” my dad said, stuffing his mouth as well. My eyes watched the syrup drip onto the plate and my stomach growled. I was pudgy okay? Easily thirty pounds overweigh
The time has come! I have four chapters I'm going to upload between today and tomorrow. This is kind of bonus book I'm just going to be doing in my spare time so unfortuantely I am not going to have a real update schedule for now. I hope to commit to Monday and Friday for uploads but I am still trying to finish my book, Warning: Danger. (check that out if you haven't!) I understand if you want to hold off reading this until I am done since there will not be daily updates! If you have not read all of Alpha Ridge you will not be able to follow this book. It starts a couple of days after where the storyline of Alpha Ridge left off. If you have read the Shadow Warrior series that begins with the Triplet Warriors and their Pup Mate, the book will be even better because there are a lot of guest appearances!
~Epilogue~ ~Four Months Later~ ~Missy’s Point of View~ “Are you sure you’re ready to try this baby,” Nate asked, from underneath me. I made a face, since I was already struggling like hell with my current position. I was splayed out across the top of Nate’s body with my back to his chest. My hair was likely suffocating him. Between everything with the village and having little Fisher, we rarely take advantage of the witches’ offers to send us somewhere exotic anymore. But tonight had been planned for weeks, and both grandmas were handling things so we could have a weekend away. However, I still had to have Kendra pop in every 12 hours
~Missy’s Point of View~ ~Next Month~ “Kendra I don’t understand, what’s so important that you had to--” I fumbled into the dark room to find the light, wondering why she was dragging me into the daycare at 8pm on a Friday night. I flicked the switch and my jaw dropped. “SURPRISE!!!” I gasped and covered my mouth as everyone cheered and shouted. There were balloons all over and confetti flew through the air. I looked next to Renata and saw a giant cake, easily four tiers. On top was a brown haired doll in a shiny red dress just like she’d made me for the dance. There were two males in tuxedos both holding on to the doll.
~Missy’s Point of View~ *Are you really not going to shift back,* I said, feeling defeated. My wolf and I laid in front of the packhouse and everyone gawked at us. It had been hours and hours since my shift, and my wolf seemed to be content to stay. She was still mad that I forced her shift early, she was mad that our mates weren’t here to see it and help. She was determined to stay until she got to see them and offer a piece of her mind. I was certain her little badass attitude would fall away once she saw them. The humans were very curious about her, and she let them pet her. She thought it made her feel special and important. Admired, when she couldn’t get that satisfaction from her mates. “Everyone can
~Nate’s Point of View~Could there be anything more impossible than both my mates needing me and having to choose? Missy only gets her first shift once, we had to know it would happen after getting marked. But we couldn’t put off the invasion, not when the Shadows were all ready to go.Would Ryan have been okay without me? Probably. It wasn’t like I did anything but try to comfort him anyhow. This was a whole new dynamic that would take some real thought. Two mates absolutely dependent on me, and Ryan having two dependent on him as well. We were as joined as three people could be. If you’d asked me even a month ago who I would choose in a moment like this, of course I’d have said Missy. She should always be the number one choice. But now I also know, if anything happened to Ryan it would positively devas
~Renata’s Point of View~ I felt Diego now as if he were so close, but I still couldn’t mind-link him. I watched out the window as there was a crazy rain storm that seemed to come and go, then a glowing light in the distance made my jaw drop. I quickly opened my two windows in shock, trying to be sure I was seeing things correctly. A forest fire. Ohh goddess! They’ll never put that out! They’re gonna burn the damn pack to the ground! Oh fuck I gotta get outta here! My mind went into overdrive and I suddenly had to wonder if I could shift and be able to get out of the ankle cuff, I’d have a smaller leg. Would that work? Desperate times Renata… I cle
~Ryan’s Point of View~I hadn’t been in the battle of Blood Claw, but everyone damn well knew the stories. A witch that could raise the dead, use them as a fucked up to way to fight your enemy. And in smoke so thick you can’t even see what’s coming at you? I didn’t sign up for this shit!*Renata, it’s all for her. We are here for her,* Huck reminded me.*It’s all for killing our fucking father,* I reminded him.We all had knives or daggers of some sort, but no guns. Did guns even work against the dead? Did knives? Fuck if I know, there isn’t a training manual for batshit crazy witches!*Katrina thinks this wit
~Missy’s Point of View~ I can only make popcorn for so damn long, what am I going to do for all these people tonight? On top of that, I had a huge migraine and my skin was just super itchy. Maybe if I could sneak away and get a bath I’d feel better. I was already sick of the wink and nudge act from Nate’s mom who kept finding excuses to look at my neck. Although, several people did. They said I smelled different and of course everyone knew what that meant. “We’ll have to have a proper Luna ceremony,” someone said. I had no idea what that entailed, but with my mates gone and my best friend kidnapped it was hardly something I could waste my brain space on for now.
~Diego’s Point of View~ I stood on the practically barren Blood Claw lands, and could hardly imagine what this looked like once upon a time. Tyson didn’t much like to talk about his childhood, he said he was just a mindless zombie doing and going where he was told much like everyone else. That was hard for me to believe now, knowing how strong and confident he was today. But I guess we were all children at some point, just eager to please our parents. Goddess knows I was always trying to prove myself. I had a massive family but we were now spread out all over the place. My parents still live with my youngest sister who has yet to shift. I have no clue what they’ll do when they finally have an empty house, maybe … just maybe I could convince them to come here. They didn
~Renata’s Point of View~ After Tyler’s stupid ass witch succeeded in scaring the shit out of me, everyone left me alone. One of the cooks from the packhouse I knew so well … an older female named Mary, brought me some fruits and finger foods. She refused to really look at or speak to me though. I couldn’t hold it against her, she was obviously scared. Sometime around two in the morning I did drift off to sleep, though it was so light and paranoid I woke barely feeling I’d slept. The sun was up, yet I was still here. I absolutely did dream I woke up back at home, in the strong arms I’d come to know so well. To depend on. How’s this possible? Aren’t they coming for me?
