Alpha Samuel
I sigh as Kate raises the point that Maddie may be a twin to this Louise woman and in turn, Kate’s stepsister. “Kate, we have been over this. The DNA is indicating you are not a match to one another,” I remind her. “I understand that Samuel, but this is the only thing we have as commonalities,” she reminds me.
I agree, it is the only thing that is common aside from our alliances with four other Packs. There are six Packs in our alliance, well a seventh, when you add in Jared Montgomery’s Pack – the Black Shadow Pack and newest addition. Jared is Lily’s mate; Lily is Kate’s best friend. “I would suggest we need to reach out to the other Packs to determine if they have seen any rogue activity,” I suggest to Kate.

Thank you so much for joining me once again to continue Kate's story. There are a lot of characters that we will delve into to help complete Kate's story. As you know, I love to have comments, reviews and of course gems are always appreciated. Chapters are updated daily and my s/m is expanding. Be sure to check it out - I hope to do some give-aways there in coming weeks. Thanks again! Ellie xo
Samuel POV Having spoken with every other Pack that I had committed to calling, I learned that nobody had any interactions with rogues over the past couple weeks. This frustrated me and I could only hope Alpha Kate would hear from some of the Packs on her call list that they had encountered rogues over the past couple weeks. I could not wrap my head around the common denominator for the two Packs being the twins. Sighing I decided it was time to go visit my Luna. Jasmine had been sitting with Maddie for a few hours now and I had promised to get her for supper. Closing up my office and locking the door behind me, I see my Beta, Luke, walking in from a training session. “How did things go?” I ask. “Our warriors are ready,” Luke says before continuing, “they will do whatever they can to protect the Pack,” he promises. Nodding I am pleased. Our warriors are among the top in our region, and I am confident they will continu
Kate POV As I pull my SUV into the parking lot of the Red Moon Pack, I can see Alpha Samuel and Luna Jasmine standing at the top of the Pack house stairs. I had only given Alpha Samuel a couple hours’ notice and he was not pleased. I did not want to continue trying to communicate by phone. We had much to discuss, and I wanted to get some plans in action. And I wanted to see Maddie. I felt a connection to her. Maybe it was because we had lost Louise and I still carried some guilt at not fully making the effort with her. She had tried to cause so much harm, but in retrospect she was lost. Who knows what the outcome would have been had I made more of an effort? I can’t change the past, but I can change the future. And I would change it with Maddie. Stepping out of my SUV, I
Jasmine POV “You mean, the rogue who gave Maddie to Alpha Jax and Luna Maria could be dead?” I ask excitedly. “Samuel, do you realize what this means?” I ask Samuel. He shakes his head; not clear the direction I am heading. “This Louise could be the other twin your parents mentioned; the threat against Maddie could be dead,” she says with enthusiasm. Samuel cringes as I realize he hadn’t mentioned the other twin. I look at him regretfully, but he squeezed my hand assuring me it was fine. “Other twin?” Drake asks coldly. Yep, they caught that piece of information, of course. Samuel interjects, “My parents had learned there was a second baby; they wanted to take both of the girls, but the rogue wouldn’t have it. He said she was already placed with another family and if my parents didn
Drake POV “As you heard, my name is Drake; Drake Chisholm,” I start. “I am an Alpha from the Blue Moon Pack. I am not the head Alpha but support to the Alpha,” I try to explain. “The head Alpha is my brother,” I explain. Recognizing now, she nods her understanding. “How are you here?” she asks. “Well, that gets a little complicated,” I say. “I am not sure we need to get into that right now,” I say as I see her disappointment. “Why do I feel tingling when you touch me?” she asks. “Now that I can answer,” I say with a smile. “Do you know anything about mates, Maddie?” I ask. I love how her name rolls off my tongue. “I know Samuel and Jasmine are mates; my parents are mates,” she replies. “Yes, that
Kate POV I was training this morning with Alpha Reid and Beta John. I had always trained with them before I left the Golden Moon Pack and I liked jumping back into it when I was home. They never went easy on me and pushed me beyond my limits. And I pushed them beyond theirs. Often, they would spar with me with two of them fighting me at the same time. And on days when I really needed to be challenged, we brought in our top warrior as well. The reality was when we were being attacked, it would not be uncommon to stumble across the odd rogue on our territory and we all needed to be able to protect ourselves as best we could until help arrived. Rogues didn’t fight with any sort of ethics; if there was a gang of them, you can assume the gang would attack at the same time.
Maddie POV Finally, I was getting out of the hospital. It had been a long couple of days. Drake had returned to his Pack for a day to work on some business. I missed him but understood he had neglected his duties while he was with me. He was returning today and then we were going to have a talk with my family. I was feeling anxious as nobody had wanted to discuss whatever this mystery was before now. I had changed into clothes that Jasmine had brought me. She brought me two outfits – one was a summer dress and the other was my skinny jeans and t-shirt. I decided on my summer dress as this would be the first time I would be seeing Drake as a regular person versus since I have been in the hospital up to this point. &n
Maddie’s POV I just found out I had a sister, and she was dead. I had never met my twin. Over the years I had felt something was missing in my life, but I attributed it largely to my lack of exposure to the outside world. Now I was realizing maybe it was the twin bond that I had experienced. I wanted to go to the library to explore what twin bonds meant. I may have been sheltered but I was a well-educated woman. I took most of my learning on-line once I went beyond what the Pack could offer me for education. I could feel the anger rolling off me. Pushing away from Drake, I waited. I felt like there was more to this story. “That doesn’t explain you, Kate,” I say. “I realize your father had twins but how does that connect to me?” I ask. “We believe you and Louise, your pos
Colby POV I had been waiting all day for the chance to go pick up Kate. The only thing I had wanted was for us to be alone; however, her parents were coming back with her to look after Amelie while we were away. Deciding to have a night alone with Kate, I had one of my Pack warriors come along in a separate SUV to take her parents back to the Silver Crescent Pack, while I surprised Kate with a night out before we spend the day with Amelie tomorrow. I had a condo in the city, which we often stayed at when we went to shows or had meetings in the city. There was a new restaurant in town, I wanted to take her to. And frankly I had missed her the past couple weeks and wanted to have her to myself. As I watched the plane land, I felt my heart b
Kate POV We got the call two days later that Lily was in labour. Colby had been trying to convince me not to go. Lily would understand that he wanted me close to the Pack house and doctor. We both were anxious after our last loss, but we had to recognize that was a situation that happened to us. Not something that meant there was something wrong with the pup or me in terms of carrying our pups. Amelie was over the moon when she found out we were expecting. To find out we were having two pups was a surprise but a great one at that. Amelie asked repeatedly if she could name them. Considering the last stuffed animal she received, she named gremlin, we are trying to gently tell her no. But it made us chuckle last night as we considered the names she would come up with. We haven’t started thinking about names yet. We don’t know if it’s two boys, two girls or one of each. And we haven’t decided if we want to know what they are before they are born.
Kate POV It had been a couple months since everything had happened. From the DNA test results, to Caleb’s son being the mastermind behind all that had happened. Maddie and I had a chance to grow closer over the past couple months. Beta Ralph had been disappointed he had not ended up being Maddie’s father. Unlike my father who had begrudgingly made an effort to speak with her a couple times. Maddie was not interested in him as a father figure and that suited my father as well. Although he was a little surprised, she was so independent. I was proud of her. She has continued with her therapy and had healed physically from her injuries. Alpha Samuel has been able to shift. He still struggles with his leg but the chance to shift has really helped with his outlook on life. And from what I understand it helped Jasmine and his relationship. Samuel did banish his father when they returned to their Pack; however, another Pack accepted his mother and father
Maddie POV Grabbing Drake’s arm, “There has to be another way,” I murmur to Drake suddenly terrified of the ramifications if he does not win. Not that I would be the property of this rogue, but that I would lose my mate. I cannot live without Drake. We just started our lives together. And what the hell was the purpose? “What the hell is the point of all this?” I say to the man standing in front of us smirking. “The point is, Maddie dearest, that I get the final revenge on a group of wolves who have done nothing but look down on my family,” he says coldly. “Who are you?” Kate asks taking a step closer. Colby grabs her arm, holding her where she was. Turning to look at Kate, he takes a step forward. Everyone tensed up as he continued to stare at Kate. “You don’t recognize me, Alpha Kate?” he says smugly. “You look familiar, but it cannot be,” she says. “Why can’t it be? Did you think they would to be loyal to one another after everyt
Kate POV “It is you, isn’t it?” I ask Troy. “Who?” Maddie asks me. “He’s the mystery man working with Dr. Langille,” I conclude. “No, I am not, but I am the man working for him,” Troy replies coldly. “What the hell are you talking about?” Alpha Jax asks Troy. Troy looks at him condescendingly, “You stupid, old man. Who in their right mind tries to interfere with a mated couple? I will say you provided the avenue for us into your life and in turn Maddie’s life,” he says. “You aren’t in Maddie’s life; I don’t know who the hell you are, nor do I care, but you won’t be leaving here,” Drake says. I can tell he is mind-linking his warriors to come remove Troy. I want more answers before that happens. “Who do you work for?” I ask Troy. He laughs, “I work for a powerful man. One who wants Maddie and in turn will take Red Moon Pack,” he concludes. “Like hell they will,” we all turn shocked to see Samuel walking in the door with Jasmine at his
Maddie POV It had been an amazing vacation with Drake. I cannot wait to go again. I loved all his surprises and most importantly our time together. I had heard from Kate. She and Colby were arriving shortly for a quick visit. They were stopping to see her parents first at the Golden Moon Pack, Kate had some paperwork to sign for Alpha Reid and then would be coming over here. She had some information on who she believes is the man who Dr. Langille referred to, but she did not want to discuss it on the phone. Drake had just received a mind-link that our guests were here. I was surprised it was so quick as we had just spoke with Kate that she was on her way, and we were about an hour from the Golden Moon Pack. Drake and I went out to the entrance to await their arrival. We saw a lone car coming up the street, which was odd. Kate and Colby always travelled with additional warriors given the size of Colby’s Pack and the link to the Golden Moon Pack.
Kate POV Getting Amelie ready for bed had been a chore. She had found out we were at her school visiting her teacher and wanted to know why. Obviously, we did not tell her the reason. We simply told her it was a check-in to see how Amelie was doing and that we found out her teacher was moving to a new Pack. Yes, on the drive home Colby had made the decision to relocate Ms. Cooper. He would not make her rogue, but he would find a Pack within his network that would be better suited for her. And no, she would not be teaching school children. He had already arranged to meet with Ms. Cooper first thing tomorrow morning to advise her of the change. This satisfied Amelie and we spent an hour reading before she fell asleep. I sat there just holding her while she had drifted off to sleep. I could not wait to give her a younger sibling. I knew we weren’t her birth parents, but she felt like my own and I would always treat her like she was mine regardless of ho
Maddie POV We had arrived at the beach late yesterday. We got here in time to watch an amazing sunset. I could see why the beach was so captivating for Drake. The smell of the ocean breeze was incredible, and I was amazed that it was what he smelled when he first scented me as his mate. I sat between Drake’s legs, his arms wrapped around my waist as we just sat and listened to the waves as they rolled up the shore. Drake had rented us a cottage that was secluded from other vacationers. He had been here years before and wanted to show me. He also teased me that he had lots of activities planned that required privacy. I didn’t care. This was the most amazing surprise I have experienced. I was willing to try everything he wanted to do. No matter how much it pushed me out of my comfort zone. My mate was amazing. He had been incredibly supportive while I continued to heal. I could not have asked for more from him. We walked up the beach a
Samuel POV “You may never shift again,” the specialist had told me months ago. I had been hearing this phrase over and over on a permanent loop in my mind. I could not focus on anything else. I could not imagine how effective I could be as an Alpha for my Pack without the ability to shift. I was so angry at everyone and taking most of my anger and frustration out on Jasmine. My heart sank as I knew I had treated my mate horribly yet again. I was getting to a point where I could no longer apologize for my behaviour, and I could not stand myself. I had my appointment today with my specialist. I was going to find out if the exercises and all the extra work had paid off or if I was destined to be an Alpha with a wolf who could not shift. Or if I would get the chance to try, once again, to shift. I did not know if Jasmine would come with me to today’s appointment. I had been particularly nasty this morning and I knew through our bond she was still very hu
Maddie I could not believe it. Kate and I were finally confirmed as being siblings. When we had told Alpha Jackson and Beta Ralph the results, I felt a little sorry for Beta Ralph. I think a part of him had hoped I would be his daughter. It was clear that the previous DNA results had been tampered with and we had no reason to doubt these results. Kate was still searching for the identity of who the “he” was who tampered with the previous results. She was concerned he could still be a threat. She was also going after Dr. Langille for misconduct. I was sorry that I had not known my birth siblings better. Or experienced them in a better light. Had we had the opportunity to grow up together, things would have been so much different and hopefully better. But at least I have one sibling I can get to know and grow older with. Drake was still working with the rogues. The Pack he had thought might take them had refused most of the members. Th
