I woke the next morning to a quiet room and an empty bed and shifted to look for a clock in the unfamiliar room. The alarm on the other side of the bed showed seven am, and considering Tristan’s side of the bed was cold, I expected he hadn’t managed a whole hell of a lot of sleep last night. It was gone midnight when we came up.
I let out a heavy sigh and rubbed my hands over my eyes as I yawned. What I wouldn’t give to go back to sleep. Unfortunately, the life a Luna wasn’t a relaxing one. I climbed out of the bed and retreated to my own room to wash and change ready for the day ahead. I had no idea what would happen today, what with Damien apparently being back I wasn’t sure if Tristan need me to help out still, but I dressed as though that was the case in a black pencil skirt and white sheer blouse over a grey tank top. Either way I expected today would be a long one.
I stopped on

TristanAn hour after being interrupted and I was still sporting wood, more than uncomfortable I shifted the bulge behind my jeans, trying in vain to relieve some of the pressure that was driving me insane.As much as we were going to have to tread carefully, I needed Cali with a desperation that would drive a man to insanity.With a glare in Roman’s direction, I hung up the phone. I had to admit it was important but all the same, I was still pissed.“Catoil’s going to send a few of our men back to join the fray. I have no idea how the fuck we are going to make it through this unscathed.” I uttered, knowing that Roman understood the concern. With a war raging from the north and now this whole abduction ring plus the risk of the east coast pack attacking, we were up shits creek on all sides, Oak creek, was the only one now not in the direct line of fire, situated south of Dark forest and

CaliWith a deep beath I stood in my office staring at the pile of mail on my desk. I had been looking forward to a bit of a break from the heavy workload, now that Damian was back, but after the speech Tristan just gave me in the car, there was no way I was leaving him to deal with everything alone. I would do everything in my power to lighten his burden over the coming weeks, I had given him enough trouble already with outing myself to the pack in such a spectacular manner.“Luna?” A voice I didn’t recognise called behind me and I took a deep breath, and so it begins.“Yes.” I turned and greeted the red headed man with a smile.“I’m Damian Walker. Alpha Leroux’s Delta.” He greeted and I gave him a true smile.“Damian. I owe you a thank you.” I stated remembering the phone call we shared.“Not at all Luna, I however owe you a

Cali“Well, I never thought I would see this day.” My mums voice sounded in the room, and I span from in front of the mirror to see both my parents and my brothers stood in the open doorway. Staring, not that I could blame them. I certainly didn’t look like the Cali they were used to seeing.“Oh Calista, you look beautiful.” My Mum gasped her hands covering her mouth and tears in her eyes and I glanced down yet again at the floaty white dress that hugged my figure perfectly and left trails of silk swishing around my legs. I took a deep breath and looked back to my family once again.“Thank you, Mum.” I smiled trying not to fidget with the perfectly positioned curl that sat at the side of my face.Amber, Roman and Julianna had done an amazing job of arranging everything as far as I could tell, the three had been running around like headless chickens all afternoon.

Cali“Oh sweetheart, I’m so happy for you.” My mum whispered wrapping me up in a hug as soon as Tristan and I stepped into the ballroom. Decorated extravagantly with flowers and lights for the event the room was completely different from the last time I was in here, and absolutely packed with people.A band was starting up playing gentle music into the crowd of chatting guests, waiters walked around with trays of canapés and glasses of champagne.“Thank you.” I smiled trying to ignore everything that was going on around me.“I’m going to go check in with Roman and Damian.” Tristan murmured from beside me once my mother released me. He pressed a gentle kiss on my cheek that turned to something else entirely when I felt his desire through the bond, and I shifted where I stood rubbing my legs together as I flooded with that heat that only he could induce.

CaliHe licked and sucked, pinched and caressed, he was hot and cold, and I actually felt the ice on his hands at one point but I was burning from the inside out as my mind was blank of everything but the overwhelming sensations he was creating.I felt his tongue lick from bottom to top, flicking the small bundle of compacted nerves that had my legs jolting and my hips rising all of their own accord as I chased the feeling, wanting more“Tristan please.” I begged my voice husky, “I need… I need...” The words trailed off as he wrapped his lips around my clit and sucked, besides I had no idea what I needed, this was all so wonderfully new.“I know what you need.” He mumbled pulling his mouth away causing a groan of protest to leave my lips and my hand sought his head and tangled in his hair while he laughed. “I’ve got you baby. Just wait.” He uttered an

TristanWaking up with Cali in my arms would likely have been the highlight of the evening, but the banging on the door prevented me taking the time to enjoy it. Pissed off at the interruption I slid from the bed trying to sooth my mate as she roused, her hair was everywhere the scraps of lace that were once sexy underwear were now singed by the flames that covered her skin when she fell apart but instead of looking a mess, she looked sexy as hell as my fingers itched to touch her as my mouth went dry at the memory of those soft lips wrapped around my cock. Damn the girl had some serious natural talent.As new as she was to all of this, she didn’t disappoint, she as so responsive and I yarned to reach out and tweak the rosy nipple that was peeking through the destroyed bra. But another bang on the door had me twisting away with a grunt.I tucked the cover over her and pulled on my boxers before yanking ope

Cali I woke in an empty bed to sounds of chaos in the house. I vaguely remembered Tristan telling me something about the perimeter being breeched late last night and frowned as I realised, he must not have been back to bed since. I climbed off the huge mattress wrapped Tristan’s bath robe around myself and picked up my dress before cracking open the door. “Good morning, Luna.” One of the three men stated as he turned to face me slightly in the hallway. “Morning. Any idea what’s going on?” I asked and he shrugged. “No idea Luna, sorry.” He muttered and I nodded before stepping out of the room and entering my own, the guards watched me warily but didn’t move or say anything before I closed the bedroom door where all my things were and wondered if I would be moving into Tristan’s room now. With everything going on, we hadn’t ever found the time to discuss what he expected of a Luna or what rules I had to fol

Cali“Cali? Hey, are you okay?” Freya asked warily as she hands gripped my arms and I shook my head and stepped back the fear and pick taking over and I couldn’t breathe, my eyes went fuzzy, and my heart was racing.“Hey, kay in here.” Freya’s word barely registered but I felt her tug me into a room and sit me in a chair. “Close your eyes and breath with me. Slow and deep. In and out. That’s it. keep doing that. Slow.” She uttered I tried to focus and do what she said as she moved away, coming back a minute later handing me a glass.“Here drink this, it will take the edge off.” She directed and I took the glass, bringing it to my lips and swallowed a bug gulp before coughing at the burn and opening my eyes.“What.. What was that?” I coughed out.“Urgh, Whisky. I think?” She kind of asked kind of stated and I shook m

The pack house was blissfully quiet the next morning, something I was surprised to find, even as I walked down from the bedroom and through the halls, there was no one in sight and no noise, it was actually a little eerie.Roman had explained the night before that the warriors had located Liberty pack and they were planning an attack on their camp so I had no doubt that Roman Tristan and the other relevant people were ensconced away in the war room making plans, but I would have expected, at the very least to run into some of the pack house staff.Cali was sat alone in the sitting room with a trolly full of breakfast foods, her head bend as se read through what had to be the oldest book I had ever seen.“Morning.” I whispered, not wanting to disturb her but Cali closed the book and placed it in her lap before looking around the room and fixating on the trolley of food as though surprised to see it there.“Morning. What time is it?”“A little after nine. I slept in.” I muttered feeling

TristanJackson wasn’t joking when he called it a camp. From the looks of it most of the shifters were sleeping outside under the nights sky. Most of the year that wouldn’t be an issue, especially if you shifted into wolf form to stay warm, but there was still snow on the ground in parts of the woodlands, and the bits that weren’t covered in snow were frozen solid, it was freezing out there.I scanned the picture on the screen, taking in the tarpaulin hanging haphazardly to create barriers from the wind, rain and snow, the single tent like structure and the dozens of shifters, and a sadistic glee filled me, it was animalistic and most definitely came from the wolf in me but it wasn’t an emotion I would fight.These monsters had attacked my home, my pack, put the alliance under the treat of war, injured and killed. Kidnapped and tortured and soon they would receive a taste of their own medicine.“Roman, go through the pictures and videos see if you can put together a map of their camp.

RomanThe sense of relief was astounding, even Smoke was calm inside my head for once, laying with Amber wrapped in my arms, our cub growing safely inside her, for the first time I felt like I was home. I guess it’s true what they say, you don’t know what you have until its gone. The risk of loosing Amber over this made me realise just how much I needed my mate, and only part of that feeling was due to the bond we had created.For the most part it was all her, her smile, her gentle approach, she tempered me in a way I didn’t know was possible, even Smoke was generally calmer when she was around.Her fingers traced the ridges on my chest and stomach, the now familiar tingles leaving bump on my skin.“You okay?” I asked, loathe to break the comfortable silence, but we couldn’t ignore this, a baby wasn’t just going to disappear. The no of her head against my chest wasn’t the most reassuring answer he could have given. “Amber, baby. I need you to talk to me.”“It hurt. Knowing that this t

CaliTristan genuinely looked like he was at his wits end, not that I could blame him, yet again he was shouldering a hell of a burden and there didn’t seem to be a reprieve around the corner. I watched as he sat back in his office chair, scrubbing his face with his hands as he took deep breaths, trying to control the overwhelming emotions running through him, frustration, anger, disappointment, disbelief, not one of them were positive and left me feeling overwhelmed and I only felt the echo of his emotions.Anger seemed to tip the scales a little as he dialled the phone and placed the call on loudspeaker on his desk waiting for the other person to pick up. He tapped a finger on the desk, and I bit my lip, I had a feeling that Lotus pack were about to be on the receiving end of all of Tristan’s pent up frustrations.“Leroux.” A young voice answered and my eyes flicked up to Tristan in surprise. Alpha Paxon was far from young, his son Abel was set to take over any day, but word was tha

AmberWhen I suggested to Cali that we take Amie out of the boot room, I was just trying to be the bigger person, and if I’m honest I was feeling a little guilty, the girl couldn’t be much older than 18 if at all, and she was on the receiving end of a hell of a lot of hate, even if she hadn’t witnessed it, I didn’t want to be one more person in her life that hated her, when truth be told, Cora was right, that cold have just as easily been me.But the story she told actually broke my heart. No one should have to live in that kind of a household, no one should be belittled by the people that are genetically engineered to love you. I couldn’t help but rub my hand over the rounding belly that contained the bundle of life I already loved so much.I couldn’t even imagine.“Amber?” The question startled me, I had actually forgotten that Roman was here, I also hadn’t noticed that everyone else had abandoned me. I guess it was for the best. No one wanted to be a part of this kind of conversati

Cali‘Well that escalated quickly.’ Thalia’s thought in my head was pure amusement as she practically drooled over how protective and strong our mate was. Damn baby hormones. We were in the middle of a nightmare situation and all I could think about was how much I wanted my mate.Tristan growled at the older man before issuing a threat of his own, his tone pitched low enough that bumps rose on my arms, if the man wasn’t wetting himself he was an idiot, I more than anyone, knew just how soft and loving Tristan could be, but in Jacks shoes, I’m not entirely sure I would still be conscious.“You have some nerve, coming into my home, throwing around your accusations, threatening my beta, demanding things like you have a right and now you have the balls to throw a vase at my mate, my Luna. The only reason you’re still breathing is because of that young girl over there. The very girl you were ready to abandon, the girl you call a whore, just saved your life.”I felt the tell-tale signs of t

RomanJack Elisse’s voice carried when he was mad, I didn’t even have to force my hearing to listen in on their conversation, standing in the hallway, with the door closed, I could hear him as crystal clear as if he was stood beside me, and every one of his words sliced through my patience like a knife through butter. I could practically feel Tristan’s displeasure from here, and I had no doubt that after this performance I was shortly going to be on the wrong end of another one of the Alpha’s rants.The fact that I had to step out of the room at all was just icing on an already fucked up cake.“Look at you, standing there like you think I’m in the wrong. They always said that Alpha Leroux was fair, tough but fair and yet you’re taking that bastards side without blinking. You have to know that he’s in the wrong here, behind that blank mask of yours, you cannot be this blind.” I winced at the older man’s words, knowing just how pissed off Tristan was right now, there was no way that wou

AmberIt literally felt like my heart had been torn from my chest. The only man I had ever loved, had a child with someone else.“Romans talking with Tristan, he was up here with you for a while but Tris is pissed.” Cali informed from her seat beside me on the bed, although I could barely focus on her words, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to.“I don’t want to see him.” I muttered and Cali shook her head.“Don’t talk like that, you’ll work through it.”“I don’t care, right now Cali, I do not want to see him. How could he do this to me?” I asked as the tears fell from my eyes and my hands went to my stomach. The child he had been so worried about, scared to raise, wasn’t even his first.“There’s still a chance the baby isn’t his.”“I don’t believe that, and neither do you. We both saw his face Cali. The baby is his.”“So, what are you going to do?” The question was asked tentatively but that was the question of the hour, what was I going to do?“I don’t know, but I can’t, right now I just c

RomanOf all the fucking things, and all the fucking timing.I grit my teeth as I stroked the hair back off Amber’s face. My pregnant mate had literally passed out from the news that I had apparently fathered another she-wolfs cub. The doc was on his way over, while I had managed to catch Amber before she hit the ground, I wasn’t willing to take any chances with my mate or my cub.Now I just had to figure out what I was going to do about the girl and the baby.I recognised her, of course I did. She was a member of Lotus pack, a she-wolf I had met over a year ago while Damian and I were on assignment there.Was there a possibility the baby was mine? Unfortunately, yes. I was always careful, I always had been, with everyone but Amber, although that didn’t really mean a lot, shit still happened. But I hadn’t been her first, and I doubt I was her last, so was there a possibility that the cub belonged to someone else? Sure. And fuck was I hoping that was the case.A knock on the door had m
