Tamara's POV I know that Dean now knows that we are moving around in the treetops, and it does not help us to do that anymore. However, it is handy when you do not want other creatures to find you or your Pack. He will soon pick up on my scent and will follow me to my Pack. I must find another way to protect my Pack from Dean and his wolves. I do not know if Dean wants me back because I am strong. Or if he thinks that he loves me as a mate. I never thought that I would be the mate of Dean Smith. I know my Pack, and I will have to run from him. I cannot let him get a hold of my wolves because I do not know what he will do to him. I wonder if he realized already that Maureen is not a werewolf. She is only a human. "Perhaps we should move the Pack and into another area. I do not believe that Alpha Dean will want us. He only wants you. Maybe you will kill us to be with you. He knows you will never leave us to be with him and the Red River pack. I know it sounds harsh, but that is how Alp
Tamara's POV I have been searching the woods to see if I can find the stronghold of the vampires. I cannot let them rule our area and not know where they are or what they want. I am taking a considerable risk by wanting to talk to the originals. I have been running with my wolf at night, but it is as if the vampires are trying to stay out of my way. I do not know why. I have to find them and find out who or what they want. I am running through the woods tonight to see if I can find a vampire. They have been elusive lately, and I do not know why they do not want us to see them. I see a big black wolf running close to me as I run. I know who it is. I have seen his wolf before. I am angry that Dean Smith thinks that he can follow me. "What do you want from me?" I growl. "What are you doing out here alone at night, Tamara? Do you know how dangerous it is?" Dean growls back. "What I am doing out here is none of your business, and I do not want you to follow me. What are you doing out
Dean's POVI am pissed off as I see Tamora running off. I run after her and midway shift into my wolf. I cannot believe that she is this stupid to run away after we have met Vladimir. I have to make sure that she is okay. I lost her scent, which drove me crazy, not knowing if she was okay. I fear the stupid vampire will follow her to her Pack as he is faster than me. As I ran it through the dark wood, I ran into Vladimir again. It looks like he has also lost her scent. He is looking around on the ground as if looking for clues. I quickly changed behind—some of the bushes. We hid clothing all over the woods in case we had to shift. I still wonder how Tamara can shift and still have her clothing on. I walk out of the tree lines. "I guess you lost her scent," I say from behind him. Vladimir turns around and glares at me. "I can see you have the same problem. I will find her before you can," Vladimir says."Listen, she is my mate and my Luna. She will never be with a vampire. You can ha
Third Person's POV Tamara reaches her Pack. She crossed the border before either Vladimir or Dean could get ahold of her. Both were chasing her, but she was too clever for them. She knows they know that she uses the trees to move around in. That is why she made for her border immediately, knowing that the gypsies were protecting their Pack and nobody could chase her once she was over the border as they would lose their scent. She is relieved to escape the two men who look like they are fighting about her. Not that you will ever be with any one of them. Tamara has also noticed that there are a lot of humans and hunters around their area. She does not know what they are doing there, but she knows they are protected and will not be found by the humans or the hunters. Perhaps she can ask the gypsies. They know everything that is going on in this area. Tamara knows that her Pack is safe. And as long as the Pack is safe, she is happy. Her Pack has grown over the last few weeks. More wolve
Third Person's POVDean and Martin are so stunned after hearing the whole story. They walk to Dean's office and know that it is only one thing they can do. They need to return Maureen to the vampires. Martin is sad that he will also lose his mother, but he knows his mother has done wrong. His parents have never loved him as much as they loved Maureen. Martin loves his sister but knows she is not part of his family. He'll also know she has been very catty and full of herself. Not many werewolves liked her, but I always wanted to be friends with her because she was popular. They never thought of her as being a vampire. And since she grew up with the werewolves, she smelled like a werewolf. Everybody always thought that she was different. No one wanted to say it because she was the beta's daughter. Many older people were gossiping and saying she was not a werewolf. Of course, they did not say it out loud. They only whisper amongst each other.No one wanted to upset Alpha Dean. I knew tha
Tamara's POV I am not here to play games with these two men. They make a big mistake if they think I will let them play me as their mate. I am only here to talk about business. We have to get rid of the hunters and the humans in our area and the lab I just learned about from the gypsies. Dean and Vladimir do not look very happy about me, telling them I am unwilling to talk to them about being their mate. But I do not care about it at this moment. All I care about is the safety of my Pack, and I also want to protect the gypsies that have become my friends. I do not want humans to do any harm to all of the creatures in this area. So I will have to work with dumb and dumber. These two idiots have been making my life difficult. "Listen here, Lloyd and Harry, if you two idiots give me any more trouble, I will refuse to work with you," I say. "Now listen here, I am not Lloyd, and he is not Harry. I know you refer to us as dumb and dumber. Tamara, can you please show us some respect? We d
Third Person's POV Tamara stares at Dean, not knowing how to start talking to him. Dean leans against a tree, looking at his mate. He waits for her to speak, but he thinks they need to find a place to talk without the vampire possibly hearing them. Dean feels that he needs to take Tamara to a safe place, knowing she will not put her feet on the Red River Pack's ground. "We need a safe place to talk," Tamara says. She does not sound friendly, but she also does not sound as rude as always. "Where can we go?" Dean asks. "I know these woods very well. However, I think the vampire knows these woods just as well," Tamara says. "We can go and talk at my Packhouse," Dean says. He knows that Tamara will refuse even before she answers him. "Nope, I'm not going back to your Pack ever again. We will work together, but that is it. I am not joining the Pack again and will not become your Luna. The day I left, I promised never to put my feet on your grounds again, and I will not break that pr
Tamara's POV The following morning, I run to the gypsies' camp to find out what they know about the humans and hunters, and I need to find out what they know about the lab. The gypsies can look into the future with their glass balls and read one's palm. I know that I have magical powers that they hardly use. If they use it, they only use it for good and to help humans and other creatures that are children of the Moon Goddess. I know they will never betray us, and they will never go against the werewolf. They know the werewolves are the children of the Moon Goddess. As I run into the camp, Gazelle is waiting for me. She always knows when I am coming to visit, and I do not know how she knows it, but I think it is because she can see into the future. "Tamara, I expected you earlier, but you were late today. I am glad you are here, as we have problems in this area. And you know what I am talking about. I know you are worried about the original vampires and what they are really doing here
Dean's POVI can see that Jonathan White is now really worried. He had seen what had happened to his friend when he tried to fight Tamara. He must know now that we are indeed the first Alphas. I know that he is not willing to fight me anymore, but he cannot back down now because he was the one that challenged me. I will not allow him to back down. I am going to fight him. I am sick and tired of people thinking they are better than others. I want him to understand that there is no such thing as someone being better because of their background or the money they have. Jonathan White wants to talk to me, and I can see his doubts. I do not care what he thinks, and I do not care what he believes. But today, we are going to fight. I know that I can beat him without any problems. "Alpha Dean, I am very sorry about what I have done. My Pack is not as strong as yours, and I am not as strong as you are. I know that I have promised you that I will fight you, but I cannot. Please spare me and my
Tamara's POV"Your father is here. I'm ready for this fight, please, honey. Believe me. I can handle this. I will make this fight as quick as possible. I will not put your child in too much danger. I promise you I will walk out of this fight victorious. Our baby and I will be fine. I can promise you that I will not put his life in danger. He is already in my heart," I say as we walk outside to meet his father. Jonathan White is with him, and I can see that both of them are ready to fight us. "Our enemies have arrived and are ready to fight us. I know we will be fighting both of them, but if you need my help, do not hesitate to ask for my help," Dean says."I will not hesitate to ask your help, especially if our child is in danger. How old baby comes first, and I promise you I will not do anything to harm it. Now, Honey, get ready. We are going to fight. We are going to show these snobs. Who is the boss? I know they think they are better than us, but they can be better than us. We are
Tamara's POVI am up a little the following morning. I want to be ready for my fight with Mike Smith. I know that Alpha Jonathan White has challenged Dean. We both know how that is going to end. Both Mike Smith and Jonathan White will die today. We are ready for our fight, but I like to prepare. And that is why I am up early. I don't want to prepare physically but mentally as well. I know that I can do this. I know I can beat him, but I want to pray to Moon Goddess to help me today. I know you trust me because she gave me all this power I have as a first alpha. She would not have made me a first alpha if she did not believe in me. I have to show her I am proud of what you made me. Today I'm not fighting for my honor. I am fighting for the glory of the Moon Goddess."Are you ready to fight today, my love?" Dean asks from behind me."I have never been as ready for a fight as I am today. I am sorry, I will have to kill your father. I do not want to do that, but I believe what he has done
Dean's POVI am furious at my father for daring to challenge my mate. Why does he not challenge me? Does he think he can be the woman? I know Tamara has already accepted the challenge, but I am not happy about it. I do not believe that my father should have challenged Tamara. He should have challenged me. Although Tamara and I are the alphas of the Red River Pack, it doesn't feel right for a man to challenge a woman. What kind of person is my father? He is a coward who will only challenge women and think he can win them."Do not make us lose more respect for you, Mike. Why would you challenge Tamara, who is a woman? It would be best to reconsider your actions because we can no longer stand behind you. We had respect for you because you were our alpha once. But a man challenges a woman because he thinks he can win her in a fight. Does not deserve any of our respect," One of the elders says. I can see that nobody has respect for my father, and I cannot blame them. I do not have respect
Mike's POV Drake betrayed me. And now all my spies are gone from the Pack, and I do not know what is happening there. Only I can get my hands on him. I will kill him myself. How dare he? He took my money and gave it to that stupid woman, now the Luna of the Red River Pack. I am sure I can get somebody to kill her, but I do not know who and where I will find somebody willing to fight her because I am desperate to get rid of her. She is the reason that the Pack and my son all turned against me. "So Drake turned against you. What are you going to do now? Do you think I should still sponsor you? I do not want war against my Pack and the Red River Pack. You have promised me that my daughter will become your son's mate. However, I cannot see that happening because you are not a man of your word. I am not willing to risk my Pack. I will go to Dean and talk to him about what you have done because I will not be a part of this and will turn my back on you and your wife. My daughter can get a
Tamara's POVI know Dean feels guilty because of what his father did. I wish I could tell him I do not hold it against him and that he would believe me. I know we must take care of his father and friends. They are a bunch of snobs thinking that they are better than everybody else. And we cannot allow that to happen in this Pack again. They can go to another pack if they do not want me as their Luna. I am not going to feel guilty for who I am. My parents were murdered, and that is why I am an orphan. It was not my fault that they were murdered. It was Mike Smith's fault. I am still sitting with Dean holding him."I wish you would stop blaming yourself, but I can hear the men coming with the traitors anyway. Let's take care of them first, and then we decide what we will do about your father. I want to stay close to you instead of close to Drake. I think that the two of us can decide what we will do about your father when we get to that problem. I want you to know I love you and do not b
Dean's POV After hearing what Drake had to tell me, I feel that my father has betrayed all of us our whole lives. I cannot believe that he is this wicked. How could he kill his best friend and then pretend his brother did it? I wondered how much he paid those rogues to kill Borris and Bianca. Borris was more of a father to me than he was. It was the one that protected me against Mike. I cannot think of Mike as my father anymore. I am not hurt. I am pissed off. My whole life, I have tried to impress Mike. I tried to be the son he wanted me to be. Now I find out that he has feet of clay. I never realized what a snob my father was. He thinks he's better than everybody else, and nobody can come near his son because he is supposed to be like him. I cannot believe I tried to please him my whole life, but then again, I was young and the boy without a wolf that my father beat into submission. He made me believe I was better than everybody else and that the weaker wolves should leave our Pack
Drake's POVI watch Mike as he walks out of the bar. The stupid man thinks I am going to fight against a First Alpha. He just gave me a lot of money to do nothing because I would not fight Tamara Smith. He can call her Tamara Brown, but we all know she is the Luna of Dean Smith. We all know we cannot mess with her without getting into trouble with Dean. Am I going to betray him? Of course, I will betray him because I won't give him his money back and will not allow his wealthy friends to come after me and my friends. Basically, I have two options. I have to run from this area, which I'm not planning to do, or I can go to Dean and Tamara and tell them what Mike is planning. I look at my mates at the other end of the bar. I called him to come over. Chelsea is the first one to come over to me. I know it is because she is in love with me. Vanessa sharmains. Scott and Donovan follow. "What's up, boss?" Scott is the first one to ask."What do you think about killing Tamara Smith?" I ask."
Mike's POVI have to go and see some of my rogue friends. I need to talk to them because I want them to help me eliminate Tamara. I know the rogues do not like the Red River Pack. I know they do not want them to be around, and they do not want a Luna for the Red River Pack. I will have to make a plan. I will have to get the Tamara away from the Pack and in the claws of the rogues. I know the ropes will have to have a beautiful little girl like her in their grip. I do not care what they do to her as long as she never comes near my son and the Red River Pack again. It is her fault that my son wants nothing to do with me. However, I first have to go and see the rogues. The ones that killed Tamara's parents are now dead. But I know a few others, and I will go and see them and ask them if they are willing to work with me again. Of course, they will get paid as much as last time. I hope that I will believe me and not think that I will put them in a lot of trouble by telling them to kill he
