Lily POV
Feeling Jared beneath my arm, I snuggle closer to him. I can’t believe it’s morning already. As I remember everything that happened last night, I can’t believe how different everything ended to what I expected. I smile as I remember Jared marking me and me marking him. They say being with your mate is amazing but being with your mate after you mark them is even more special.
As I lay there dreamily thinking about everything, I jump up and squeal. I startle Jared as he jumps up thinking there is a threat in the room. I have a mark! What the hell am I doing? I should be looking at it. Jumping out of bed, I didn’t realize I had verbalized this as Jared laughed getting out of bed much slower than me and follows behind me.

Kate POV As I walked back to the Pack House, I go to the washroom to wash my hands and do a refresh before I head into our meeting. As I look up Colby comes up behind me putting his hands on my shoulders. “Are you okay?” he asks me. “Of course, why wouldn’t I be?” I ask a little harshly. “Well, it seems like you get rid of one threat, and another just pops up yet again. I just want to know my girl is alright,” he says turning me around to kiss my forehead. Sliding into his arms, “I am good, Colby. Please don’t question my authority again, though,” I say to him as I step back. “What do you mean?” he asks somewhat perplexed. “When Reid didn’t contact me, I want to know what’s going on. Please don’t stop them from contacting me again,” I ask. Chuckling Colby offers, “Kate, I wasn
Lily POV Jared and I had been driving for a few hours now. We were close to our Pack, only another hour and half and we’d be home. Last night’s supper was amazing. We had such a great time; my parents had a chance to get to know Jared a little better, and they were very happy with what they were seeing. Saying goodbye to everyone this morning was very difficult. But it wasn’t as hard as the first time I had left. The first time I had been on my own. This time, I am going home with my mate. We have two of Kate’s warriors following behind us to provide additional protection. They will be staying to help Rick and Alex run through some scenarios that Jared had learned of the day before while he had been talking with Colby, Reid, and John. &nbs
Jared POV It has been a week since Lily and I settled into our new life. Lily has made me proud. She has jumped into her new role as Luna for our Pack and our people love her. She’s kind and generous to everyone and always makes time when someone is in need. As I leave her in her office, I kiss her and wish her luck as I know she’s going for an interview later this morning for a teaching position. I am confident she will get the new position and I know she will be happy delving into her teaching role. As I settle into my office, I hear a knock on the door. I was expecting Rick, so I invite him in. He comes in and slumps down in the chair in front of me. “What has you down, man?” I ask. “Miranda is away again. I know she loves me, but I don’t know where she goes when she leaves. 
Lily POV I woke to feeling the car moving. I took an inventory of my body, and I knew I had no injuries. Slowly sitting up I realize I’m in a car with the stranger. He looks at me shocked in the mirror. “You weren’t out very long, clearly I didn’t give you enough wolfsbane,” he says muttering to himself. “Who are you?” I ask groggily. “I am Alpha Raymond,” he says. Shocked I sit up straighter feeling myself gain some clarity. “That’s not possible. You are in jail,” I say calmly. “I expected some shrieking by now, you are surprising me, Luna,” he says. “How are you out of jail?” I ask. “Everything that has a lock is meant to be broken. I broke out of my cell and the first person I wanted to see was you. Well, that’s not entirely true. The first person I
Jared POV Standing I move to the bathroom as I hear the shower turn on. Lily hadn’t locked the bathroom door, so I opened it and moved into the room. What I saw broke my heart. Lily was sitting on the floor of the shower sobbing. Moving forward, removing my clothes, I step into the shower with her. Sitting down, I pull her into my arms as she cries out her pain and frustration. As her sobs soften to whimpers, I stand holding her in my arms. Letting her feet slide to the floor, I turn her so I can wash her hair. Massaging the shampoo into her scalp, I slide her back under the water to rinse her hair. I then add conditioner, letting it sit in her hair for a few minutes. I grab her favourite soap and start to wash her body.
Rick POV “The only way a witch warrior can get out is by death,” Miranda said to me. “Hell no!” I yell. There must be a way to save her from this death sentence, I think to myself. “We will simply hide you,” I say like I’ve solved the worlds problems. Shaking her head, “You can’t hide me, Rick. They have trackers in our bodies, in our blood stream. You can’t simply remove them. I have tried to come up with ways to remove them ever since I found you,” she says. “Well let’s go talk to this Witch Council. Together. Let’s explain to them that we have a unique bond. Without you, I will die,” I say feeling emotions gather in my throat. “What if I mark you?” I ask her. “It’s not allowed. It’s never been done. I have no idea what the repercussions would be,” sh
Lily POV Waking up in Jared’s arms, it comes back to me in flashes. Not having pups. It’s the most devastating news I could hear, yet I feel hopeful. I would do whatever needed to be done so I could have Jared’s pups. I know Jared also said we could adopt, and I want to do that as well. There are lots of pups out there abandoned by their parents who would need good homes. As I lay there watching my mate, I realize it doesn’t matter that he kept it from me. I understood he was protecting me and the best we could do is be together to make it happen for us. Stay positive and hope for the little pup we are meant to have. Moving my hand across Jared’s body I lean forward kissing him on his chest. As I slowly
Miranda POV As I run through everything about my childhood and who I am Lily sits there with tears in her eyes. Her sadness isn’t for me today but rather for me as a young child and all that I had missed out on. Not wanting to join her in that sadness, I smile and remind them there is good news. “Now that Rick and I are mated and because my mark is on him as well, we are hybrids,” I say in a rushed voice. Both Lily and Jared sit there in shock. “What does this mean?” Jared asks first. “What kind of skills do you have?” Lily jumps in eager to learn more. Rick holds up his hand, “We don’t know a lot yet, but we wanted to tell you. This could mean a fight with the Witch Council, particularly if they try to take Miranda from me,”
