Ellie’s POV

“Come on,” Sam yelled at me. She has been staying with me for over a month now. She has come along by leaps and bounds, gaining weight and confidence. Other than the scars and the nightmares, you would think nothing had happened to her. She has been working with me at the clinic every day, performing remedial tasks. But she is happy to do it, and I am glad to let her. We have grown close, as have our wolves. I want to say she is my friend, but Sam doesn’t like that word and I can understand why.

The one thing I have noticed about Sam is her love for the young. It will explain why she tried to save Jessica and Zeb that night. She has such a strong, loving instinct.

Today farmer Clayton is bringing in his sheepdog, Freya. She gave birth to six puppies a few weeks ago. He wanted Freya checked over, so he had to bring the puppies with her. He was lucky he made it out of my clinic with any of them. To my horror, Sam offered to adopt them all.

Today, farmer Clayton was r

    Ellie’s POV John looked at me curiously as I approached the front desk of the police station. “How can I help you, Ellie?” He inquired.“I need to inform you of a case of animal cruelty.” John lifted his pen, ready to take down some basic details. As he began asking me questions, the door opened behind me.“I can’t believe you came,” Noddy spoke from behind me. “I want to file an assault charge against that bitch. She broke my nose,” he shouted over me. John looked up at his clipboard, giving me a questioning look.“I will be with you in a minute, Noddy. Wait your turn,” John said before looking at me. “Now, what were you telling me about Ellie?”“A German shepherd was brought to my clinic. He had been bound and left to die.” I told John. Noddy went quiet. John won’t ask any further questions. He is just taking the most basic of details from me. But I want Noddy to be scared because he should be. Noddy only came to town a few years ago.I have seen Dastin a few times, which is how I

    Sam’s POV I was still upset about Dastin when Ellie came bursting through the door. “Get home, get some stuff. We have to get you out of here.” She yelled at me. I didn’t understand her tone or her urgency. Not until she told me Jaxon was looking for me. Sheer terror stopped me dead in my tracks. I started to shake, fearing he would drag me back to the Shadow pack if he found me. Just as I was about to break down, Ellie grabbed my arms. “Get your stuff. We’re getting you out of here.” She said before pulling me toward her. “Ellie will take care of you,” she said, gently stroking my hair. “Ellie will make sure you’re okay.” I know her gift that calmed me. She always refers to herself as a third person when she does. But I needed it. Ellie told me she was getting me out of South View and that it was not a time to panic. That panicking wouldn’t help us right now. “I can’t leave Dastin like this, though. But as soon as I have finished laying him to rest, we need to leave.” She said as s

    Sam’s POV Ellie left this morning, but not before leaving me with cash and a mobile phone. She promised to return on the 1st of every month, regardless of what day it was. I would see her then. Since it was only the 14th today, two weeks seemed like a long time to wait. “How had our lives come to this?” I spoke to Zola as I stared at the ceiling, “I was supposed to be the Luna of the pack, not dependent on others living in the human world.” I didn’t know because I had never done anything bad to anyone. Mischievous, maybe. But never bad. “It’s not about you, Sam,” Zola told me. “It’s about those who surround you. People with good hearts always end up losing,” she said knowingly. “You gave more than you received and always forgave, even when you knew better.” “Well, that bit me in the ass, didn’t it? But no more. From now on, I will help myself,” I said, thinking of Lily. Zola snickered. “You were born to be a Luna. It’s your kind heart that sets you apart from everyone else. Ell

    Sam’s POV It’s amazing what you see when you stand and watch. With my bag of clothes in my hand, I leaned against a wall, watching and waiting. It didn’t take long to see the sort of man I was looking for. “Be careful,” Zola warned me as I followed him. Considering the size of the guy, I lost him twice, only finding him because of his scent. His odor stood out among the vast majority of people around him.Pete’s powerhouse was the name on the door. As I pushed open the door, I got hit by the smell of sweat. It made me scowl. Pete could open a window every once in a while. As I walked inside, the smell got worse. But I wasn’t here to critique anyone, I had a purpose. There was a boxing ring that occupied one corner of the room. Weights, punching bags, and other heavy equipment filled the remaining space. There were at least a dozen men there, including the one I followed. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at me, snickering.“Are you lost, love?” a man approaching me ask

    Sam’s POV I was sitting on the stairs waiting for Ellie to arrive. Talking to Zola about anything, trying to distract myself. My legs shook nervously as she was late. I could smell her before I saw her. When I saw her face, it was like seeing a beautiful sunrise for the first time. I was ecstatic. I rushed down the stairs and threw myself at her. I wrapped my arms around her, crying. I hadn’t known Ellie that long. But it felt like she’s been in my life forever. “Are you happy to see me?” Ellie asked me as she held on to me.I tried to pull away so I could tell her exactly how much I missed her. But she didn’t loosen her grip. “Because I missed you.” She whispered into my ear and kissed my hair. This act of affection made me cry even more. I love her. Reaching my apartment, I excitedly showed Ellie the thrift store treasures I had bought. I told her about my encounter with the men in the alley and how that motivated me to join a gym, and now that’s how I start and end my day. “It’

Tony has helped me build myself up physically at the gym, offering me training sessions. He has been quite protective since he saw my scars. He shoots down anyone that tries to belittle me. Much to his delight, I joined the boxing club and a local karate dojo. I surprisingly earned a blue belt quickly. My sensei believes I’m a natural. But he doesn’t know I have been doing a basic version of this all my life.I still help in the diner whenever they are short-staffed. Edgar avoids asking for my help because he thinks it’s unfair to me. Despite his reservation, the staff are not afraid to ask. Especially because I take payment in food.

    Ellie’s POV I initially thought Sam had lost her mind as she ran towards me naked, waving her arms around and yelling. That was until she got close enough for me to hear her words. “There’s an injured shifter in the woods. He’s in a bad way.” I think she thought I was going to follow her as she ran back to the woods. But although my gift may help calm him. It is a last resort. If there is a chance of saving the shifter’s life, I need the tools of my trade. I ran back to my truck and grabbed my black bag. It doesn’t have much in it, but what it has in it. It has saved quite a few animals over the years. Knowing there was an injured shifter in the woods, I ran as fast as I could to the tree line. Shoving my dress into my bag and quickly shifting. Kiki picked up the bag handle in her mouth and raced after Sam. “I just hope he is still in his animal form,” I told Kiki. For me, it will be easier to care for him. “We’re almost there,” Kiki told me as the wind carrying the scent of blo

    Sam’s POV As the words came out of my mouth, Zola questioned whether I had lost my mind. I know I sounded crazy. But as I stared at the black wolf lying on my floor. I could not help but see his future, or the lack of it. He would be a dead man if he returned to his pack handicapped. He would either be challenged and killed or banished. No self-respecting Alpha would remain in a pack after being defeated. He would become a rogue and then what? Zola said nothing. Although she had her concerns, she knew I was right. “Have you considered the possibility that he’s a bad Alpha?” Zola asked. “Have you considered the possibility that he’s a good Alpha?” I countered. She sighed, but I was adamant I wanted to do this. “I guess we will find out when he wakes up.” “I will keep him safe until he can make a life for himself. I’m going to help him, just like you help me.” I told Ellie, who was still convinced this was a bad idea. I didn’t tell Ellie that he might be able to offer Zola the wolf

    Reagan’s POV Although I have never needed the services of Dr. Monroe, I have met him many times over the years. I have relied on him for his medical knowledge more than anything. He is also an asset to have around for those people who are wolfless or pregnant.At first, he felt awkward, and he kept calling me ‘your majesty’. I was no longer the Alpha King, and I had to keep correcting him. In the end, he settled for calling me ‘sir’ as he didn’t feel comfortable calling me by my first name. To distract himself, he talked about the pregnancy spike within the kingdom. It was good to hear, as new pups meant the next generation was being born. He measured multiple parts of my body with a tape measure. “Do you have a preference on what style of leg you would like, sir?” I hadn’t even thought about it.“What are my options? What is your opinion?” I asked him.“This is not the sort of thing we offer in the wolf kingdom, so when I was asked about it. I did a quick bit of research on what hum

    Reagan’s POV It felt strange walking into the Alpha King’s office. It was once a place where I spent a lot of my time. But now I am no longer the Alpha King, and it belongs to Caspian. So much has changed since I have been gone. Yet this room remained the same; Caspian hadn’t changed a thing. But everything in this room is a memory for us both. Portraits of our elders, pictures of our parents, and photos of us from our youth. There is even a picture of the family we were so close to once upon a time. I cherished that picture; it was our mom’s last photo before her murder.A man was sitting at Caspian’s desk. But my business here was to meet the Wolf Council. Phillip opened the door for me, and I made my way inside. Every man got to his feet and bowed his head in respect.I am no longer their superior, but they treated me as if I were. I took a seat opposite my brother, who now sits at the head of the table. Everyone sat down, except for George. He was a senior member of the Wolf Coun

    Sam’s POV I dreamed I was still in the dungeons. Tears filled my eyes about what those guards did to me down there, and when I woke to the smell of something I didn’t recognize. I sat up, terrified that my rescue was a dream. As I fought with the bedsheets, I remembered what happened later that day, about Caspian and the mate bond. It had to have been real.As I calmed myself, I heard running water. Hearing Reagan curse from the bathroom soothed me, as having him around offered me peace of mind that I was awake. Yesterday was extreme, and I’m still not fully sure that I understood everything that happened. While I waited for Reagan, I lay back on the bed and talked to Zola about Caspian. He seemed nice, but so did Axel in the beginning, and look how that ended. “So we proceed with caution and any red flags. We are out of here,” I told her. She was pleased I was willing to give him a chance. Then we both agreed that we don’t like the Alpha King or his methods.Being in his home and bei

    Caspian’s POV I rushed to the hallway to catch Phillip and explain, but I was too late. He was nowhere in sight. I was almost deafened by Hawk, who shouting at me. Calling me all the names under the sun and moon for not getting rid of Evelyn quicker. When I apologized again, he demanded I stop Phillip before he got to Reagan. Hawk didn’t need to tell me. I was already trying to catch up with Phillip. I had never moved so fast in my life. But the hallways I had walked all of my life seemed a lot longer right then.I mindlinked Phillip, and I felt the connection go through. But Hawk was yelling so aggressively at me that he couldn’t hear me, and he severed the connection. If only Hawk had shut up, I could have forced Phillip to stop. But when I finally caught sight of Phillip, he was already talking with Reagan. I froze when I saw Reagan standing in his doorway.My heart pounded as I approached the pair and faced my fate. I was so happy ten minutes ago, but now everything is gone. Reag

    Caspian’s POV I genuinely thought Sam was about to reject us. Hawk let out a mournful cry while my eyes filled with water. I struggled to breathe as I braced myself for the pain associated with rejection. As Sam’s lips parted, I was convinced the words that she was about to speak would break my heart.“You have one chance. Mess it up, and I am out of here,” Sam said. I just couldn’t believe it. I looked at her and couldn’t speak with shock. Despite her past and what had happened earlier. She was giving me a chance. “As long as she doesn’t know you’re the Alpha King,” Hawk reminded me, almost ruining this special moment.I was still in a state of shock when her phone rang. “Oh crap, what do I tell Ellie?” Sam asked Reagan. His response made me snicker. I had never known Reagan to be scared of anything or anyone. No challenge has ever caused him to retreat or surrender. But here he was pleading with Sam not to tell her sister what happened. This must be for Sam’s benefit. There is no w

    Reagan’s POV Phillip returned with Sam’s phone and handed it to me. I thanked him and asked if there was anyone who could find me a crutch. “You’re getting a prosthetic. The best money can buy,” Caspian informed me. It would be great to get about independently. But I don’t know how long they take to make or how long I will be here. Sam stirred. “Stay here,” I told Caspian, closing the door in his face. I hopped over to the bed. Making it just in time for Sam to sit up. She looked at me and screamed, then she cried. “You promised. You broke your promise. You said I would be safe.” She yelled before she curled up under the sheets, sobbing. I reached over to comfort her, and she lashed out at me, calling me a liar. I took everything she had because she was right. I let her get hurt.“I’m sorry, Sam. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I thought you were somewhere safe,” I took a deep breath. “I just wanted to find my brother so much, I forgot about what was important.” I wrapped my arms ar

  • Alpha's Betrayal, Luna's Revenge   Chapter 35

    Reagan’s POV When I said I was leaving, it wasn’t because I heard that I was no longer the Alpha King. I didn’t care about Caspian being appointed in my absence. It was logical. He was the next in line, after all. I based my decision on Sam. Witnessing her mistreatment firsthand and seeing how she had been affected both mentally and physically. It was clear to me that her well-being was a lot more important than the throne. But when Caspian referred to her as his mate, that changed everything. I would never interfere with a mate bond. Especially when it comes to the people I care about. Now, all I can do is wait for Sam to wake up and let her figure out if it is something she wishes to pursue. If she chooses to return to her life in the human city, I don’t know what I will do. I’ll have to pick between her and my brother. “Maybe that’s why the goddess put you in Sam’s path? Or why we feel so connected to her? We were destined to be family,” Callan suggested. “It’s a valid poin

    Caspian’s POV “You’re so good at that,” I told Evelyn as she sucked my cock for the second time today. She looked at me with her big green eyes and kept going until I came in her mouth. The best thing about Evelyn was that no matter how hard I fucked her, she never seemed to be satisfied. Which was great, as sex with anyone was only about one thing. My pleasure.One day I will meet my mate, and from that day I will be faithful. I will love and cherish the ground my mate walks on. But until the day we meet, I will fuck Evelyn. I will fuck her whenever I choose and in any hole I choose and, and by the way, she screams, she loves it.“Your majesty. We have discovered a rogue in your office.” A mindlink came through from Kevin. He is not the person I want in my mind right now.“Deal with it.” I mindlinked back. I should shut that thing off. But you never know, there may be an attack at any point. As the Alpha King, I have to be made aware.Evenly dragged me toward the bed, giggling. Catc

  • Alpha's Betrayal, Luna's Revenge   Chapter 33

    Reagan’s POV “The rogue has been dealt with.” It took my brain a few seconds to register the words that came out of Kevin’s mouth. He can’t have been referring to Sam. Not my Sam. Not the woman who saved me, the woman I swore to protect with my life. Callan demanded answers and unleashed his aura with such intensity, instantly incapacitating the guards. He tried forcing a shift, but that wouldn’t get me anything. “What do you mean, dealt with?” I yelled angrily. I rushed over and grabbed Kevin by the collar. Balancing myself carefully. “Tell me, is she alive?” My heart beat rapidly as I waited for someone to answer. But the intensity of Callan’s aura meant Kevin couldn’t move, never mind speak. Callan also realized this and calmed a little so he could at least answer me.As I waited, I looked at Caspian. He was sniffing the air, and his eyes kept flickering as his wolf tried to push forward. Something was bothering him. I would normally have gone to him, as a concern for him is a conc
