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,”
Jared POV Lily had started teaching this week. She was thrilled. She had a class of Grade 3 students and she wanted to bring them all home. I reminded her the pup’s parents may not like that, to which she chuckled. I loved seeing the excitement on her face talking about all the children and I couldn’t wait until we had a pup of our own. Lily was going to be an amazing mother. We had spent the week trying to learn as much as we could about Rick and Miranda’s marks. Miranda spent much of her time in the library and online trying to learn what she could. Yes, we do have some underground online sites we can search out all information related to werewolves. You just need to have the secret access, which select Packs had.  
Miranda POV We headed back up to the Pack house leaving Elder Morris to ponder the love of his life. I felt a little sorry for him – I couldn’t imagine my mother being very kind but stranger things have happened. Who would have thought I would fall in love with a wolf? “Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, was my whirlwind of a mother,” I say to the group. They nod their heads considering what she had said. Alex spoke up, “Do you all come and go the same way? Do none of you travel like regular people?”. Laughing, “Most of us teleport as it’s easier and faster. But yes, the odd times we do travel like regular people,” I reply. “I guess it saves the environment,” Alex says shrugging. “What do we do now?” Jared asks.&nbs
Rick POV The night Miranda had finished her first shift had exhausted her. When we returned to our clothes, I helped her get dressed and carried her back to our suite. She had already been asleep when I slid her into bed. She had more fun than she had expected and was looking forward to her next run. As soon as everyone learned she had shifted, we had agreed we needed to start training her for her protection. She was a quick study, catching onto the different defense moves. Today we were moving toward training her in offense. She had shifted into her wolf a couple times now. As I had promised her the first shift was the hardest and she was shifting faster and with less pain. Soon she would be able to shift in motion. &nbs
Miranda POV“My father?” I ask confused. I had never met my father. I never knew who he was. It wasn’t unusual in our world to not know who fathered us. As I had said, we weren’t close to our families. “How would he even know about me?” I asked my mother. “He’s always known, Miranda. He’s a powerful man, with many powers. I had no idea he would be tracking your progress,” she says sadly.“How could he track my progress?” I ask. “He has the gift of sight; he can see the future,” she replies. “What has he seen?” I ask desperately. “I have no idea, we only heard rumblings that he was coming out of hiding. He’s been hiding since your birth, putting his plans together for when the time was right,” she says sounding very upset.“Why is the Witch’s Council sending me on an assignment tomorrow?” I ask. “On assignment, what do you mean?” she asks. I explained I had placed a call to my contact who advised I needed to go in tomorrow and to expect to be away for a month. She gasped, “He’s
Miranda POV The past three days had been a whirlwind. When Lily was set on a mission she delivered. As I sat there having my hair done, I was shocked to see Lily come in all ready and passing me a glass of champagne. She had a stunning dress on, as always. She was wearing a black gown, which fell to her ankles. The bottom of the gown had a slit up to the thigh of her right leg. The top of the dress had sleeves with a vee neck. The back had a tiny button closure at the top with an opening to her waist. She wore gold jewelry to accent the dress and stay in line with the Pack colors. She had brought me in a gift as well. As she passed it to me, my hands shook. I gasped as I opened it. Inside was a white gold necklace with a diamond at the centre of the necklace.
Jared POV It had been a couple weeks since the Beta Female ceremony. Everyone had been walking on eggshells and tensions were running higher among the Pack. We were waiting for an enemy we couldn’t see or prepare for. We were as prepared as we could be. With the power that Melinda released on everyone, our warriors were stronger than they had been. They were fighting harder and were able to shift to their wolves faster. Everyone was in awe of Melinda and her power. She trained alongside everyone, sparring in both human and wolf form. You would think she had been a wolf her entire life, the way she fought. Rick was proud of his mate. We were all proud to have her as our Beta Female. Lily’s headaches had
Miranda POV “Elder Morris?” I ask. I’m confused. This gentle man cannot be behind the attacks on the Black Shadow Pack. He just couldn’t be. He smiles as he comes to stand before me. “Aren’t you going to ask me, Miranda?” he says. “Ask you what?” I ask him cautiously. “If I’m your daddy dearest, of course,” he says. This is not the same man we have all known as Elder Morris. He’s speaking too coldly for anything else to make sense. “Elder Morris, you aren’t my father,” I reply cautiously. “Of course, I’m not your father Miranda. I am your father’s ally in his attempts to get you back. Your mother took you from him many years ago. Do you even remember your father, Miranda?” Elder Morris asks. “No,” I answer confused. I could not wrap my head around how Elder Morris knows my father. “He was a good man a
