Daisy POV - The drive back to Twin lakes is as silent as the drive to Roval River had been. I was going over everything that happened in Cassie’s office. I knew Cassie was going to forgive her, I knew she would give her blessing on their mating, I just knew it, I knew Cassie. But I wondered how much of what Maddie said had been true, I knew Cassie had believed every word, I had seen it in her eyes, but I was proud of her for her comments at the end, saying they would never be family. I think even Maddie believed most of what she had said. I didn’t know why, but I just couldn’t fully trust her, even now. How could someone treat another being the way she had all because she was told to? Maybe I am wrong, I have never been in either of their shoes, but I just can’t see myself ever behaving the way Maddie did, and I certainly couldn’t see myself being that way to only one person. I would like to think that seeing Cassie now, hearing from her own lips what it had been like, that Maddie wo
Welcome back my dear, dear, readers and thank you so much for sticking with me, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this story goes, with Dave and Daisy get along in a new pack, Cassie and Jack fully Mated and the others finding their way, all while trying to capture that piece of work that has caused so much trouble already. New readers please note this is a follow on book and many parts will not make sense unless you have read my first book: Betrayed by the Beta. Happy reading!!! Some things you should remember from last time….. In this particular world of supernatural beings there are a few rules. The Mind-link or verbal link to your wolf, is brand new, only a few people have it, though all wolves coming of age will have the connection with their wolves as a gift from the goddess. Mind-Linking between pack members is also very very new, only a few people currently have the ability, but as packs change, so will the abilities. You get your wolf at the age of 15. You can
Daisy - My darling brother was never one to covet what others had, but because he didn’t want to burden his best friend with 2 packs to run, not when he had only just found his mate after almost 8 years of longing for her. So, with him taking on the role of Alpha to a pack under such turmoil, I am now the unofficial Beta of Twin Lakes as, without Dave as Alpha and me as Beta the pack would be completely leaderless. Ace very quickly went underground, he like, literally vanished, he is in hiding, the bloody coward ran as soon as he felt the shift in power, according to some of the pack members. He escaped with Maddie who was the Delta's daughter and her father. From what we have learned, it seems her father began orchestrating her rise through the ranks a long time ago, he poisoned the Luna to be barren, he encouraged Maddie to be with Ace, as he would have been Alpha since the current Alpha was and would always be childless, and he helped to kill the Luna to weaken Alpha Sven and G
Dave - I still find it hard to believe, I agreed to become an Alpha, what was I even thinking, I can’t do this. I mean I know why I said yes. I agreed simply because I didn’t want Jack to have to take on a crumbling pack on top of his own pack right after finding his mate, but jeez, what was I thinking? I’m still not sure that I made the right choice, I mean, don’t get me wrong, I knew that Jack made it look easy, I knew it had to be a tough position and I knew that I would need to work hard, that I would need to work my ass off to bring this particular pack up to scratch. I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge either, but this pack has been hit hard by a few wolves that think the world owes them something, it isn’t just a fixer upper pack, this pack needs emotional support as well as an actual leader. Thank the goddess I worked as closely as I did with Jack and thank the goddess he is only a phone call away for advice.Ace may have only been in charge for less than a year,
Dave - Daisy crashes into the chair in front of my desk and crossing her legs she begins tapping her foot on the edge of the desk, “so, what's up?” She asks, “you sound even more stressed than usual this morning, did something happen?” “Yeah, something happened, Mark has got it into his head that he is going to find Ace and take him out, Brian has tried to talk some sense into him, but he is worried it hasn't worked, so we have had to adjust the plan slightly to keep Brian and Mark safe.” Rubbing my temples with the tips of my fingers, I continue, “we are now sending extra men out there in secret, Brian knows about them but Mark doesn't, and Jack has just messaged me saying his extra men are leaving his pack in 45 minutes and that they will meet with ours at the agreed upon location along our adjoining border. I haven't even had a chance to brief my guys. Thankfully they are due to arrive any minute so I will have a good 30 minutes to go over the plan with them before they have to l
Author POV - Brian and Mark departed from their home in Rival River pack and made their way on foot through the woods that separate them from Twin Lakes, they chat idly as they go, talking about the things they want to accomplish in their lives, they talk about anything that comes to mind except the mission they are currently heading towards. Brian dreads the topic coming up, hoping that as their opinions differ on the task at hand that they can just make it through the coming days without any accidents, injuries and more specifically without any fights between themselves. He feared their bond was too new for them to risk a fight no matter how much he disagreed with Mark’s plan, they had after all only been mates for a month and still needed some time to really strengthen their bond to one another.The bond, though accepted by them both was still delicate as they had not yet mated and marked one another, they had originally decided to wait a while and get to know each other better as
Author POVAfter walking for another 45 minutes they find a decent spot that they can set up camp in, in between the trees for cover. Mark starts getting nervous about confessing to Brian, he hopes that Brian understands why he behaved the way he did. The back-up were doing a great job of staying out of sight, Mark only knew they were there as he had heard a man voice faintly when they paused to have a drink, he had pretended not to hear a thing when Brian had looked up sharply in the direction of the voice and continued on as if alone.Brian, having heard the male warrior, made a little more noise for the rest of their journey. They were now at the base of the mountain in the shadows of the trees that wrap around the base tightly. Setting up camp was a quick process for them and it had been planned that they would do their first excursion after s
Author POV - Over at Rival River pack at that very moment, Cassie and Jack were cloistered in Jack’s office having just spoken with Dave over at Twin Lakes. Concern is evident in the air at both packs as nobody has heard from the teams sent out to gather intel on the mountains, their caves and Ace.Jack missed having one of his best friends around all the time and was struggling to add Dave’s Beta duties on top of his own, but he was happy for his friend. Happy that he was going to have the chance to show the world what he was truly capable of.Jack had always felt Dave was meant for more than just a Beta role and he knew that Dave was going to be an amazing Alpha, especially to the Twin Lakes Pack which desperately needed a strong leader after the torment of the past few months. They all knew just how quickly everything can change for a pack, there are many in history that proved that just a few short weeks can change everything. But having his beloved mate close by helps.Cassie ha
