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
Miranda POV “I love you too,” I say to Rick. My voice is raspy as I squeak out my words. I had listened to him tell me he loved me, and I had wanted to reply but couldn’t. Being able to finally get the words out, they were the first thing I wanted to say to him. As I looked at him, I saw his face light up and he kissed me again. Putting both my hands on his cheeks I held his face to me. I didn’t want him to stop kissing me. As he pulled back, I heard the door open and see Kate and Colby walk into the door. Kate was smiling as she looked at me. “I’m so glad to see you awake,” she says as she came over to my side. “You are much stronger than I expected,” Kate says. I smile at her. I want to talk but my throat feels like I swallowed a barbwire. “You can expect your throat t
Alpha POV That shut the little fucker up. He was so arrogant and thought he had all the answers. His parents may have told him some of the truth, but they didn’t know all the truth to be told. I never shared with them that Anya was my mate. Only that they had to get her to be the Luna for the Black Shadow Pack. The fact that Alpha Jared was fighting this was starting to piss me off. He was ruining all my plans for the future. I would eventually have Anya, I simply had to bide my time until that happened. As I fought the urge to spit in his face, I sat there smugly as he and his Beta and Gamma looked at one another. “Then why would she choose to be with me? Why would you allow it given that you had your own Pa
Jared POV My steps falter as I hear Lily’s scream of agony. As I walk around the corner, I see Anya sitting there with a smug look on her face. Before I am willing to deal with her, I knock on Miranda’s door. I have decided how I am going to proceed with Anya. I won’t lose Lily. Walking in, I see Rick sitting there with Miranda in his arms. “Jared, I can help,” Miranda says. “I have more powers than I have shared with you, and I have resources that can help,” she continues. “Miranda, we will always take whatever help you can give us when we need it,” I say. Moving closer to Rick I share with him what I am going to do with Anya. I don’t care what deals went on; she’s done. Seeing Rick’s smile, he nods and gives Miranda a quick kiss. She wants to come but she is not ready to leave the hospital yet. Waving to her, Rick and I leave th
Lily POV It has been two months since I saw Jared. I have not heard from him since I left, and I have been unable to reach Miranda to see what she knew about the situation. Kate and Colby were working with the Wolf Council but have had limited success to date. I have spent my days training. I promised myself I would be stronger and that has been my focus. I do regular training with the Pack as well as one on one with Kate. She’s seen a significant improvement. I have even had a chance to help fight some rogues off while I have stayed here. I have done it before but not to my full ability as I can now. But I realize I can’t stay here forever. I have been hiding from my past and future. I need to start li
