Theo’s POVThe meeting with Alpha Dane went precisely how I wanted it to.We spent most of the morning discussing potential ways for our blacks to forge a way forth.The ideal and most prestige offer was the loan of forty warriors that will live within my pack as my pack members but follow his rule and his training.In the event of a breach they will congregate off, hiding themselves only to strike when the opposing person thinks they have the upper hand.And with the underground bunkers that will enable them to do that.Though I will have to tweak the lockdown mode but that isn’t a problem.As long as there’s only a few people able to open the underground safe house before the few hours there shouldn’t be a risk.I’ve already summarised there will be six of us.Khai and myself being two of them as well as Lucas, the head of our warriors and the head of Danes warriors.That leaves space for one other to take control of the choice of who can and cannot leave the safety of the bunkers a
Khai’s POVSo I didn’t manage to convince Theo to allow our women to apply for the warriors. But we did get the help we needed and plus some.We have new men coming into our pack, men that could be potential mates for our abundance of women.Perhaps some might say that that would be a problem, why introduce men to mate with our females if we’re only having female children as it is.But it’s the mate part that’s the wanted part.Our members might find their mate, some of the olde row men who refuse to leave our lands might find the one fated to them from Celeste.Perhaps they won’t, it’s a possibility but having even a small percentage that some of our she-wolfs find their gated is enough to be gleeful.Though I’m not sure how they might feel.Would they leave to join Danes land to follow their man or would they expect their mate to come here permanently?I muse of lover this in the last leg of our journey home.We’d stopped just inside the borders, made the first instalment of men pl
Lilith's POVI feel the connection snap almost as soon as they cross the borders and it has me both confused and upset in an instant.They hadn't warned me of guest, nor had they discussed it.I know it's Theo's pack and it's his to do with as he wishes but deep down I had hoped he would pass things by me like he does with Lucas and his father.But it seems I haven't earned that particular respect yet and that is why I'm upset.I wait for them at the front door, feeling them edging closer by the second and I'm right.They pull into the drive way in the car, ten wolves trailing behind them.They aren't from here, but I knew that already and their smell is neither familiar or welcoming.They smell... weird, because they do not belong.But they do, because I can feel them. They've agreed to be part of our pack.Well at least that's what the connection is presenting itself as.I wait until they’ve gotten out of the car and are walking towards me, leaving space between the wolves and ourse
Khai’s POVI leave Theo and Lilith to tend to the new warriors to connect with our existing ones.It’s change over time and I’m due for the night shift for the first time.It’s an essential part of my training, the ability to stay in wolf form all night to protect the pack and the various borders surrounding our land.But this will be the hardest feat for me to to endure.Before coming here, taking my place besides Lilith and Theo I barely let Obsidian out.And to say that shifting still feels the same as it did way back when I was a teenager would be the truth.My bones still ache as we shift, the grinding of the joints radiating through my whole being and it exhausts me to allow him full control.It shouldn’t, not at my age but I’ve taught myself to be as least like a wolf as possible and now the reigns are dropping to allow him to be him and I struggle.Especially after being in his form.Everything is heightened.Sounds, smells, vision, you name it and it’s enhanced compared to my
Lilith’s POVTheo disturbs me by rolling out of bed like his arse is on fire.I watch sleepily as he moves from the bed, to the window and then out of the room and instantly that loss of him leaving without a word worries me.Somethings triggered him to wake and that something is important.I feel out into the pack to see what’s wrong and it seems there’s an intruder coming through on the upper northwestern border.The border Khai just so happens to be minding.I’ve missed him tonight, the lack of heat from his side of the bed leaving me cold and unprotected but in turn for him not protecting me he’s protecting the whole pack.It seems he’s heading the team on that side of our border, roaming the line with four others as he demand them to follow his lead.Or should I say Obsidian is the one leading.Which is good, because it’s about time he got the limelight he deserves.Khai has had locked him up for longer than necessary. His aversion to being a wolf shifter potent and uncalled for.
Theo’s POVLilith refuses to allow me to tend to alpha problems by myself, and I suppose you could say she was really coming into her role at Luna but I think it has more to do with the fact she doesn’t want me in danger.She feels some sense of need to protect me when it’s her that needs the protection.We stand, eyeballing each other for the longest moment, arguing silently before I allow her to come inside and then I lock us inside.Though with the upgrades the doors will no longer be locked for more than two hours but she isn’t to know that.And it’s evident that’s what she expect because she immediately enlightens me to the fact Calley has Lora.I’m not disappointed in her choice of baby sitter, but I am disappointed in myself for waking her and leaving her to worry.It’s evident this is how she felt by the way she flings herself into my arms at the very first opportunity when I sit the young boy on a kitchen chair.He’s still naked so I move whilst holding Lilith to my body with
Khai's POVIt takes every ounce of control within me to stay out here in the tree line rather than follow Theo and that boy home.I know my place and my role for the night but I can't help but need to be there for Theo if anything untoward is to happen.And yes, I know he's more than capable to care for himself but I still worry.It would kill Lilith if anything were to happen to him and because of that it would hurt me also.I feel for him after radio silence for a few hours, and I'm glad to say he's very much alive but I'm unhappy to say I feel his connection with Lilith which enlightens me to fact they are together.Why did he allow her close proximity to the boy that claims he were from Danes pack?Have they figured out who he is?Where he come from?Why he's here?Is Lilith in danger?What about Lora, whose looking after her?I'm not ashamed to admit the sun rising gives me more happiness than I thought it would.Six am comes around and the change over happens.I don't patiently w
A Few Hours Before Lilith’s POVThe boy was but a mere test form the ally Theo and Khai had made not the day before.It took me no time to heal him, feeling guilty that Khai had made those marks in the first place.What must he think knowing one of his new alphas, for the time being, bit into him like a meal was about to be had.His skin puckers pink and then I towards Theo wanting a private explanation of exactly what he asked Dane for.To my surprise we aren’t stuck down here as we were before, Theo unlocking the door for us to leave.It confounds me but I do not undermine him in front of the boy before us.Instead we show him to his room, giving him towels and toiletries as well as a few prices of clothing to enable him to be covered up as he should be.Then we retire to our room, allowing Calley to go back to bed for us to have a debate over what exactly Theo thinks of the future.“What did you go to Dane for?” I ask perturbed by the thought he’s going behind my back. Even if it i
