“Do something, bring her back.” Damian half demanded half pleaded with Tristan as soon as the three of us entered the otherwise empty main living room.
“I can’t Dai, I can’t make her come back.”
“Of course, you can, use your Alpha aura.”
“And if I did that, I would be no better than the people that took her in the first place.”
“I can’t…” Damian started slumping into the sofa and practically hiding his face in his hands. “I can’t lose her Tris.”
“I know. Believe me I know. So, lets help her, let’s get this shit with the traffickers wrapped up so she can come home.” Tristan stated taking the seat opposite his delta as I continued to stand just inside the doorway. “What do we know?”
“Not a whole hell of a lot.” Damian exclaimed flinging his arms

CaliThe following day found the whole pack house a little subdued, Amber and Roman still weren’t talking to each other, Damian had left with Jackson and a team of warriors to go in search of the traffickers and Tristan spent most of the morning locked in his office prepping for the conference call he had set up between the alliance pack alphas for that afternoon which left me wondering a mostly empty pack house.I had offered to pick up some of the duties for Tristan, but he declined adamantly, saying I deserved some time to myself, to relax, only I once again found myself a little lost, not really knowing how to sit still.There was once a time when I relished the thought of laying on my bed at my parents’ house and just being, listening to music or watching a movie, lately however I couldn’t seem to sit still long enough.Eventually I found myself in the pack library searching through the s

CaliWe made it to Tristan's office just in time for the conference call and I dropped into the visitor’s chair beside Tristan's desk as he set up the call, trying to focus on the task at hand rather than the need that coursed through me. But I couldn't seem to rid myself of the thoughts that ran through my head, memories, images. Tristan naked, his muscled body, his dark eyes, his rough hands, his warm mouth, his skin pressed against mine, his hands skimming my body.The need was almost unbearable at this point, and I couldn't keep my eyes off my mate, I watched as the muscles in his arms flexed, his t-shirt pulling taught as he twisted while setting everything up on the desk, I rubbed my legs together, shifting in the chair trying to relieve just the slightest bit of ache.I had never felt desire like this before, it had never been this extreme, this consuming and I found myself sitting in the chair unable to keep still as I tried in Vain t

CaliI felt Tristan tense under my hands, his body stiffening and a growl leaving his lips as heat flooded between my legs. My need for him hit me in a wave so hard that I couldn't catch my breath.A distant part of my mind wondered at the cause of my seemingly insatiable desire, I had never felt anything like this before, but I wasn't given long to puzzle it out before Tristan stood, and in a move that I would later marvel over, threw me over her shoulder with little to no effort and stomped from the office towards the stairs.His hands caressed the back of my legs as he carried me towards the bedroom his fingers inching closer to the place I needed him with each upward sweep and I felt the tension in me build higher, to a point where I thought I might actually explode if he didn't put his hands on me.By the time we reached the landing leading to the bedroom there was little to no doubt that my panties were soaking wet, an

CaliThe minutes ticked by as Tristan and I lay in silence, coming down from our high and just enjoying being in each other's company. Eventually our heart rates returned to normal, and the worries of the day creeped back in.It felt like there was more to do than there were hours in the day, I could feel Tristan's own worry through the bond. All the same emotions that had been there at the end of the conference call were now tinged with a sense of urgency and I felt guilt wrap around my own emotions, knowing that it was my desire that dragged him from the tasks at hand.With the alpha's vote scheduled for in in 2 days’ time Tristan was now up against the clock. I knew that Michael was leading the interrogation of the prisoners, but an emphasis had been put onto discovering any link to the traffickers, at the same time they would also be looking for signs of those who were corralled into attacking Blackrock and those that attacked of their ow

CaliTristan eyed me warily as I followed him to the ground floor. "They're in my office?" He kind of asked seeming confused and I smiled."I know, but I want a drink, besides it won't hurt them to stew for a few minutes." I muttered and he huffed a short laugh and shook his head before kissing me quick."I'll be down in the basement for a while, link me if you need anything." He stated and I nodded before we each went our separate ways.I grabbed a glass of fruit juice from the kitchen before making my way up to Tristan's office, growing increasingly frustrated with each step. This was not something we should be having to deal with right now, I felt like I was a mother to two teenagers, something that was a little disconcerting considering I was still a teenager myself.I stepped in front of the open office door and glanced between the two betas’, sat stoically in the visitors’ chairs.With a deep bre

CaliThe rest of the afternoon passed by in a blur, minutes turned to hours as Amber and I worked side-by-side sorting through paperwork, notes left by Freya, trying to put the plans for the Christmas festival into some semblance of order.We took it in turns contacting the vendors from Blackrock, finalising details for the stalls they were setting up. Amber spoke with Lucas, the head of the education Centre, to see what the students had been working on, and what we could incorporate into the festival.We held a meeting at the packhouse with Grant, head of house maintenance, to discuss the ball we had planned for Christmas Eve.By the time night fell, we were both exhausted, but so much had been accomplished that neither one of us could stop smiling at the thought of the upcoming festivities."I'm actually really looking forward to Christmas this year. We never do this much. Typically, there is a ball or a dance for the

CaliA scream died in my throat as my eyes wrenched open.The room was dark, the slightest slither of light from the moon streaked through a gap in the closed curtains, but with our advanced sight and natural night vision Tristan's worried face was as clear as it would have been at midday.I felt his hands shaking my shoulders before his words registered in my sleep shrouded brain."Cali. Wake up baby. You're safe." His tone was soothing but loud in the otherwise quiet room.I groaned as I shifted on the bed, my throat was sore, and embarrassment coloured my cheeks as I realised, I must have been screaming in my sleep.Images from the nightmare assaulted me and I shivered under Tristan's grip. Clearing my throat so I forced myself to speak. " I'm awake, I'm okay, it was just a bad dream."A knock sounded on the door before Tristan could reply. "Everything okay?" Roman's sleep heavy voice called through the closed door, a

Cali,It was an era of gender inequality and sexism. Women of all ranks were relegated to the kitchen and other menial tasks, they were raised with the sole objective of learning to look after their men.Only the most basic of education was provided to women from the wealthiest of families and those women that were born into poverty or lower-class households would have been offered basic tuition from their own mother.Women were seen as a means to procreate and a support for the men who ran the pack. It was not uncommon in this time for a man to have several wives who would quite often be pregnant at the same time, the ultimate goal of course, to birth a child who would carry on the name, an heir. And the daughters were quite often sold off as wives in their early to mid-teens.It was therefore no surprise to anyone when the alphas wife birthed two health baby girls, twins, that he paid them very little attention. They had very

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
