Lily POV
I was bursting with excitement as I watched the cars roll up. My brother is Alpha to the Golden Moon Pack, along with Kate who shares the title with him. For this reason, he always travels with warriors for protection. The Golden Moon Pack is among the second largest Packs in our region.
I can see my mom waving to me from the car and as soon as the car stops, she jumps out of the car running up the stairs. She takes me in her arms, “Oh my baby girl, I have missed you,” she murmurs with tears in her eyes. “I’ve missed you too, mom,” I reply hugging her tightly. “How are you feeling?” she asks through her tears. “Mom, we can discuss all that in a bit,” I say as I see my dad impatiently waiting to give me a hug.

Lily POV Walking into our room, I look around feeling like something was disturbed. There is a faint scent I don’t recognize lingering, but I realize it could have been one of the staff. I still didn’t know everyone well enough as yet. Trying to pinpoint the difference I shrug my shoulders and scoot into the bathroom to brush my teeth, put some fresh lip gloss on and get ready for lunch. Deciding I wanted to change into one of my dresses I go to my walk-in closet. I walk in and get the dress I was looking for and turn to undress when I see my gown for tomorrow night’s Luna ceremony shredded. Without thinking I scream, scream at the loss of the beautiful dress but more significantly at the fact that someone had m
Kate POV Seeing Lily in much better shape than I had seen her when she was still in the hospital was by far the best. I knew she was still experiencing headaches, but they were seemingly getting better. And she was still trying to piece things together about the attack on her. Standing there with tears in my eyes, we kept hugging each other. Even though I had seen her in the hospital after the attack, she wasn’t herself. Now I felt like I was seeing my Lily. “How are you feeling?” I ask stepping back and wiping the tears from my eyes as she wipes the tears from her eyes. “I am doing better,” she says but I can tell something is wrong. “What?” I ask. Jared steps forward taking Lily into his arms, “Lily needs to go get a new dress for tomorrow night,&
Lily POV Last night’s meal went perfectly. Everyone was together, telling stories of when Reid, Kate, and I were younger. Jared loved learning about my childhood from my family’s perspective. Needless to say, I was demanding as a child, and everyone teased that it had carried on throughout my life growing up and today. I smiled recognizing they were probably right. Jared had decided he would sleep elsewhere last night, so he didn’t see me this morning. Although we weren’t getting married some traditions carried over into our world. Not seeing each other before the Luna ceremony was one of my favoured traditions. It was a surprise when the Alpha finally did get to see his Luna. In this case Jared would indeed be surprised as the dress he had picked out had been destro
Lily POV Looking around the room at everyone, I shake my head. “Am I the only one not getting anything in this crowd?” I demand as I look at each woman shamefully. “It would appear so, dear,” my mom offers. “Mom! Not you as well!” I yell. “Dear, we are wolves after all and your father is a sexy man,” my mom starts when I cut her off. “Eww no way, just stop; that’s a visual I cannot erase,” I say.What was supposed to be quick showers turned into quickies all around. As each woman turned red in the face and then burst out laughing, I couldn’t help but join them. Truth was I was jealous that I hadn’t seen Jared at all so far today. I didn’t know if I could wait until tonight to see him. I missed being near him. We had grown so close over the past weeks, that it wa
Jared POV Complete chaos. The gunshot rang out across the foyer of the Pack house. We heard screams from the event hall. Screams from around us. The sounds piercing our skulls as wolves had sensitive hearing, we heard things louder than most. Looking around I see Kate and Colby disengaging Lily from the Alpha. I see Miranda on her knees with blood pouring out of both nostrils. Colby yelled for Alex to help him with the Alpha. Alex had silver cuffs on him and ran to help cuff the Alpha with Colby. Kate had Lily in her arms but immediately switched into a medical doctor. Something was wrong with Lily, but I couldn’t see what. As I started to run toward Lily, Miranda fell to the floor. She had blo
Jared POV We spent most of the night waiting for news on either Lily or Miranda. Alex and Colby came over to update us on the actions of the Alpha. He won’t release his name or purpose until he sees me. Well, he wouldn’t see me until I knew Lily was out of the woods. As we sat there all lost in our own thoughts Dr. Kent came around the corner looking for me. I stood immediately as did the others, but Kent asked me to join him privately. My heart sank. Did this mean we had lost Lily? I hadn’t felt it in our link but perhaps I wouldn’t yet where I hadn’t marked her. I was having a hard time breathing as Kent pulled me into his office. “Just tell me for fuck sake, Kent,” I said to him harshly. I couldn’t wait any longer an
Jared POV Lily had awoken early this morning. She was foggy on what had taken place the night before, but as I started to share with her what had happened, she recalled that she recognized the Alpha as having pushed her down the stairs. She remembered him commanding someone who saw him, not to tell anyone. Once she was out of the hospital, we would find the individual and ensure they were no longer under his direction. Wanting to get to the bottom of the deal with this Alpha, I asked Rick to join me along with Alex. I wanted to invite Kate and Colby, but I knew Kate still needed more time to rest. Colby had swept her out of the hospital and back to their room as soon as she was confident she could leave Miranda and Lily. Miranda still
Jared POV I sat there in total shock. My parents had spent my birthright, basically bankrupted the Pack, and then entered an agreement that basically locked up my future before I even took over as Alpha. I had been Alpha for a few years now and we had made a healthy profit. However, to have to pay $2 million back would be a hit to our savings I didn’t know if we could take right away. We had spent a lot on renovations of our businesses and were in the process of another purchase. The legal documents had been signed and money was already on its way to the seller. “What?!?” I demand from my parents still reeling from the shock of what they had said. “I believe you heard me son. You need to accept Anya as your second chance mate. Then the debt will be resolved, and you will be able to continue gro
