Mila’s POV Thankfully, the pack doctor had Alpha Gunner stitched up in a matter of no time, as the bleeding began to clot like it should have, and he now prepared a syringe that would wake him. My eyes continued to stare at the doors, still in fear that someone would burst through them at any moment, as I waited for Alpha Gunner to wake up, but everything seemed normal.I began to second guess what the pack doctor was insinuating was going on here, as there were no signs that Alpha Gunner’s life was still in danger. If they knew that he was badly wounded, I would have thought that they would have rushed in to finish him off, but that wasn’t the case.“Mila, I need you to grab ahold of his hand, because I don’t know what state of mind he will be in when I awaken him.” The pack doctor says to me, as he stands beside Alpha Gunner holding the syringe to the flesh of his arm, waiting for me to comply with what he is asking of me. Looking from the doors over at the pack doc
Gunner’s POV My eyes opened and all I could see was her beautiful half naked body on top of me, as her hips moved against my hardness, and I couldn’t help but let out a growl, loving the feeling of her body against my own. Her head that was turned towards the doors quickly turned back to me, as she looked down at me with desire in her eyes, accompanied with shock. Quickly, she pulled up a sheet wrapped around her lower half, covering her perfect breast, as she let out a slight scream. At first, I thought that her scream was meant for me, but then my eyes moved to the doors to see Beta Ryker standing in them, with his eyes glued to her body, with desire for her in them. A growl radiated from deep within me, catching his attention, making his eyes widen as they looked at me and not her. With a shaky voice he says to me, “I am sorry Alpha for disturbing you. The threat has been eliminated.” Mila gave out what sounded like a
Mila’s POV I couldn’t believe that he was thanking me for saving his life, as I had to wonder if he had pieced together what I had done in hopes of saving both of us. But it had all been a drastic failure as once again Beta Ryker had walked in on me in an undesirable state of ecstasy, and I wondered how I was going to be able to face him again. I was ashamed of what I had done, but by the look that was on Beta Ryker’s face, I was sure that it would have made whoever walked through those doors pause, giving Alpha Gunner enough time to wake up. But as I look in Alpha Gunner’s eyes now, it was clear that it had affected him too, seeing me half naked on top of him. Feeling the need to explain myself, I say to him, “I apologize for my actions, and I know it may have looked like I was taking advantage of you, please know that I had no other choice, or means to stop or slow whoever was to come through those doors. I did it not to just save you
Mila’s POV Exiting the pack doctor’s office, I realized night was upon me, as the moon hung high above my head in the sky, telling me that it was later than I had anticipated it to be. The cool night’s fresh air felt amazing entering my lungs, after being within the confinements of the infirmary for hours smelling the scent of blood in the air. I knew that my wolf was beginning to come forth, as my sense of smell was more enhanced than ever.As I looked around the grounds, I noticed that they were quiet, as only a few patrol men were in my sight, but I knew more were lurking within the woods that surrounded the packhouse. I would have thought after what had transpired today, there would be more patrol on duty, but with the many that had sustained injuries, I was for sure that they were at rest.An eerie feeling at that moment sent a chill down my spine, and I looked around as if to see someone watching me, as I began to walk quickly back towards the house, while I cont
Mila’s POV “I thought you were hungry.” Beta Ryker says to me, as I stare down at the full plate of food in front of me, still lost in my thoughts, of never being able to be truly loved by someone. “I was, but I think I lost my appetite.” I finally say above a whisper to him, as I hold the towel tightly around my finger under the island’s edge. Beta Ryker’s hand at that moment, moved to my face, and he softly caressed the side of my cheek, as he says to me, “You need to eat. I saw how fragile your body was. It will never allow you to make it through training tomorrow.” My eyes moved from the plate over to him, while he pulled his hand from my cheek, as I wondered if he was the one that Alpha Gunner had entrusted my training to. We sat there in silence once again, staring into each other’s eyes, as I wondered what was going on in that head of his, touching what belonged to his Alpha. Just when I was about t
Mila’s POV I stared at him, confused by his words, but too scared to ask him what he meant, as I could see the frustration in his eyes with me, and I didn’t want to push him any further than I had already today. So instead of questioning him, I just nodded my head, letting him think that I understood what he was telling me, but in truth I had no clue what he meant by it. I began to wonder if this had something to do with his deceased Luna that Trina had mentioned, but I was too afraid to question him about it, especially now with the mood he was in. As he picked his fork back up and began to eat, I turned back to my own plate and began to pick through the food on my plate, wanting this awkward moment between us to end, just as I wished the last moment we had shared today would have. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for him to eat what was on his plate, and as he stood from his bar stool, I too stood, emptying the food that remained on my plate in the tra
Mila’s POV Shockingly, I had slept throughout the night without any crazy dream or fantasy of Alpha Gunner, and I had to wonder if my body had been so exhausted that my mind had finally shut off too. Either way, I had awoken, feeling like myself, and whatever I had been poisoned with was now out of my system. Thankfully, the clothes I had washed the night before had dried overnight, and I was able to wear them again, knowing that I had to report for training once again today, but it was still unclear to me who would be training me. After what happened last night in the kitchen, I wasn’t sure if Alpha Gunner would be entrusting me any longer to Beta Ryker, as it was clear that he didn’t like how close Beta Ryker was getting to me. Regardless, I knew that I wouldn’t be with the rest of the pack, and that put me at somewhat ease knowing that I wouldn’t have to deal with what I had yesterday. Fortunately, today I didn’t have to wait for some
Mila’s POV “I want my best trackers looking for her. If they took her, we need to find her.” Alpha Gunner said to the man with authority through gritted teeth, as it was clear that this was affecting him. “Yes, Alpha.” The man said as he quickly disappeared from the office, leaving me alone with a clearly infuriated Alpha. At that moment Alpha Gunner turned and leaned down on his desk, before his fist pounded off it, making me jump in my seat from the power of his punch, as I could hear the desk beneath his fists begin to crack. The monster that I had seen at the auction was now once again showing itself, and I felt fear rush through my body thinking about what he was going to do next. “I should have known they would come for her. I shouldn’t have left her out of my sight.” He said just above a whisper, before his fists once again came down on his desk, making a loud crack fill the room, as his desk now bowed in the middl
Mila’s POV Deciding against dinner, I laid down on my bed, and pulled out the book I had been reading, but quickly decided against it, as my eyes were tired from all the reading I had already done today. Something within me felt restless, and I don’t know if it was because my wolf was coming soon, along with the full moon, or if it was what the pack doctor had said to me.Either way, I found myself feeling antsy, as I began to pace the room, angry at myself for allowing this situation to deter me from just going to the dining room to meet Trina, scared of what they might do to me or my food. Back home, I would never have allowed myself to feel so insignificant and vulnerable like this, but here I found myself worried constantly that someone was out to get me. Light was fading quickly outside, as fall was slowly creeping up on us, and I couldn’t help but feel sadness in my heart, knowing that the holidays were coming. The realization was hitting me hard that I would h
Mila’s POV Finishing the last file Alpha Gunner had given me, I stood and moved to his desk with the stack of them, making him look up from his own work, as I say to him, “I have finished all the files and requests you have given me for the day.” As I handed them to him, hoping that he would dismiss me for the day, because I wanted to pay the pack doctor a visit before I headed to dinner with Trina. Alpha Gunner took the files from my hand, sitting them to the side on his desk, before he surprisingly said to me, “Good work today, Mila. It is clear that helping your father has taught you a thing or two about pack business, and you will be an asset to me here in my office.” A part of me was elated to finally hear him give me a compliment for the work that I had done today, but another part of me was hurting hearing him call me an asset, as it made me feel like a piece of property to him, which I was. Nevertheless, it was a compliment, espe
Mila’s POV Stepping forward, I introduced myself to Sharon and explained to her that I was the one who had gone over her request, but that I had a few questions to ask her. Thankfully, she wasn’t like her kitchen staff, and greeted me with a warm smile, offering Alpha Gunner and me to take a seat. Once seated, I opened the file with her request, and began to go over the numbers with her, as Alpha Gunner sat there in silence. It wasn’t until I got to the question of whether there were recently more pack members added that he opened his mouth, by saying that there weren’t any new mouths to feed, making me realize that he had been listening carefully to our conversation. “That is what I am not understanding, where all the food is going.” Sharon now says, as if trying to defend herself, and I can tell that she is just at a loss what is happening as I was. Alpha Gunner at that moment got to his feet, as he looked at Sharon, be
Mila’s POV It didn’t take long for me to find myself lost in the stack of files, as I sat at the small table in Alpha Gunner’s office, while he too worked on a stack that he deemed too important for me to touch. The stack that he had given me consisted of pack normal business, and it didn’t take half a brain to be able to deal with the issues at hand, making me able to fly through most of them without a hitch. But one file in particular was throwing me off, and I must have read it over a hundred times, trying to piece together why there was such an influx recently with the grocery bills. The chart that was attached to the file from the head chef of the house was asking for more money allotted for the groceries to feed the pack, explaining that the stock was not lasting as it used to, making me wonder if there had been added members of the pack to feed within the past couple of months. Needing to know this information to be able to approv
Mila’s POV Excusing myself, I headed back to the dining room, to where Trina was patiently waiting for me, as I grabbed a plate of food before moving to take a seat next to her. “So, what did Alpha Gunner want?” Trina asks me before my butt even hits the seat, clearly worried that our plan was a no go, which in a way it was, but in another way, it still was on. Grabbing my fork, I looked down at my plate wondering how I could explain to her what just transpired between Alpha Gunner and myself. To be honest, I really don’t know how we easily came to an agreement, especially since the last conversation we had didn’t go so well, with me disobeying him.The only thing I could think of was that he had time to cool off, and I had been behaving for the past week. Either way, he was allowing me some freedom without a fight, and I was going to take it, because it was my safest bet to remain safe but also to be able to mingle among the pack members.Placing my fo
Mila’s POV It had been over a week since I had locked myself in my room, but today was the day that I was finally going to come out of hiding with the help and support of Trina. I know that Alpha Gunner wanted me to willingly stay in my room, but if I was to find the she wolf that was involved with all of this within the pack, I needed to face my fears. As Trina and I walked into the dining room for breakfast side by side, all eyes at that moment turned to look at us, and I found myself scanning the room, looking at each and every blonde haired she wolf present, wondering if one of them could be the she wolf I was looking for. My heart at that moment began to race in anticipation, as they all stared right back at me, and for a moment I thought about turning back around and locking myself back in my bedroom.Trina at that moment must have felt my anxiety, and she took a hold of my hand, pulling me from being lost in my head, making me look over at her, b
Mila’s POV “What do you mean by you saw something?” Trina now asks me, giving me her full attention, as she slid forward, sitting on the edge of her seat, waiting for me to answer her. Looking at her, I knew there was no going back, and I had to tell her what I had seen, and the conversation that I had with the she wolf. Swallowing hard, before I took a deep breath, I finally say to her, “The reason I disobeyed Alpha Gunner was because I saw someone running from the warehouse. I know it was stupid of me to take off after her, but I thought that if she was running then she was the one that knew who was behind all of this.” “Wait, you said she. I was only informed that you were attacked by male rogues.” Trina says to me, and I realize that Alpha Gunner must have informed her about what happened to me, or at least what he had seen and witnessed. Shaking my head, I say to her, “No, there was a she wolf too, and she was the or
Mila’s POV “Have you lost your damn mind? What would make you think that?” I asked Trina, shocked that she would even think that, as I stood from my chair, trying not to laugh at her, as I knew that my ribs couldn’t take it. “No, I haven’t lost my mind. If anything, I am seeing things more clearly now. Why else would he have asked me to look after you?” She now says to me, making me turn around, from my pacing to look at her, after her confession to me. “He asked you to look after me? But I thought that he instilled that duty to Beta Ryker.” I questioned her, as I continued to look at her, confused, wondering how many other members of the pack that he had asked to watch my every move. “Well yes, I thought you knew that, especially when he asked me to take you to training.” She now says to me, and I remember back to that day, and how she wasn’t happy at first about it, making me still wonder if there was something going on
Mila’s POV Days passed by as I began to heal, and my nights and days began to run together, as I stayed in my room, locked away from the outside world. My only interaction throughout the day was an elderly she wolf that brought my meals to me, and a new book to read when I ask for one. Other than that, I was imprisoned once again, but this time the door was locked from the inside instead of the outside. On day three, the pack doctor paid me a visit, and thankfully his wounds were healed, but that didn’t change the fact that I had been responsible for him receiving those wounds. I must have apologized to him a hundred times during his visit with me, but he simply kept saying to me, “What is done is done, and we can’t take back the past.” Making me wonder if he truly forgave me, or if I had lost his confidence in me being a good person. A week into my imprisonment, there was a knock on my door, and I hesitated for a few seconds, as I knew
