Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 80) Homeward Bound, Homeward Found
Lila stood on the front steps of the pack house pacing, every available motorized vehicle that was on the premises had been sent to assist her mate. The feelings she was reading from Calix were making her feel panicked, and all she could do was pace and worry until the early signs of returning wolves peaked just over the horizon of her vision. Mara put her palm in the center of Lila’s back and the overly worried Beta sighed softly just before Tanner came stumbling out the door, almost falling straight into the both of them. Tanner grabbed Mara’s shoulder and Lila’s shoulder as he squeezed his face between them and hugged both women tightly. “Why the long faces ladies, we won, everybody is coming home,” he cheered and Lila pulled herself away from the celebratory hug before she turned to face Tanner and Mara, “I didn’t want to say anything in front of the kids but, we lost a few wolves,” she said somberly and Tanner grabbed Mara’s hand as she gasped, “about twenty, some from packs and

Mj stormed away from Azreal and the crowd of celebrating wolves with a lump in her throat and pain in her head. She was absolutely furious and deep down inside she felt the nauseating trickle of heart break. Shaking her head, the Quicksilver assassin began to pick up speed as she ran. The wind whipped through her hair and left cold lashes across her skin as she tried to outrun the mix of feelings. As she reached the med hall, Mj was not surprised to find Beth and John barking orders at nurses, orderlies, and wolves who had volunteered to help with the incoming. Mj stayed out of the way but managed to capture John Pearl’s attention, the doctor ran over to her immediately, “Are you injured assassin?” he asked and Mj simply shook her head, “no Pearl, but I need your undivided attention as soon as I can get it, and don’t tell anyone,” she almost mumbled. Although John looked at her strangely he nodded and gave her a small bow, “if there is nothing else presently I need to get back, Beth

Mj sat silently in her private hideaway staring at the flourishing green rose she had spent almost every day with since coming back from raiding the warehouse and regaining her memories. Her plan had been to get up off the floor of the bathroom, dress herself and immediately leave for the Nerezza pack, but after she put her clothes on and stepped out into the hallway the chaos that was now Quicksilver had consumed her every day since then. Jay and Moxie had taken to caring for eight or nine orphaned pups as well as one very unique young lady that may just be some kind of hybrid. Lila had asked Mj to aid her in finding temporary housing for the influx of refugees, and the assassin had done her best to either provide the incoming with their own room or asked Quicksilver pack members to host. She smiled to herself as she thought about the weeks that had passed and how easily everyone had settled. Arzon had returned to the swamp with Julie and the rest of the LaFlare pack a few days af

Mj headed toward the kitchens where Lou usually spent most of his day until she was sure that nobody was following her, and she switched directions, running as fast as she could without using up too much of Theron’s energy until she arrived at the rear of the med hall. Fishing her phone from her pocket, she pushed a contact and placed the phone to her ear, “I’m out back, come alone,” and then she hung up and shoved her phone back into her pocket. After only a few seconds John Pearl rushed around the corner and tried to dazzle Mj with a smile, “to what do I owe the pleasure assassin,” he tried and Mj rolled her eyes, “stuff it up your ass Pearl, I’m here on business,” she finished and John’s eyebrows perked, “and you couldn’t bring it inside?” he asked and Mj tongued her cheek, trying not to lose her temper, “I don’t have time for your game's doc, I need your assistance,” she said and pulled a half burnt half blood stained file folder from under her shirt and shoved it into his hands,

Mj glanced down at the GPS to double-check the location as she pulled the large, sleek black truck onto a muddy, barren drive. Mj reached over to shake Azreal in the passenger seat as she drove through the dying remains of what looked to have once been a lush wilderness coated with trees, much the way Quicksilver was. Azreal rubbed his eyes and then let his mouth fall open as he too glanced around. “this place is dying,” he whispered and then looked at the sleeping trio in the back. Mj continued to pull through the drive up and Azreal pointed, “up ahead you are gonna drive by some little cottage style houses they were built by-,” Azreal’s voice died in his throat as they turned a corner and a row of boarded up, falling down bare homes were lined up on both sides of the road. As the truck made its way deeper into Nerezza pack territory, Mj slowed down considerably. “Azz, I see-,” she began and Azreal cut her off by humming in agreement, “I see them assassin, they look terrified,” he co

As Mj made her way inside the very empty dark castle, she crouched and stayed close to the wall. Her extra senses were on high alert and as she looked up through the winding layers of stone and mortar, she could make out two faint heat signatures and without skipping a beat, Mj mounted the stairs and silently headed toward the growing noise. As she reached a sliver of light peeking out from large double doors she could hear the sound of Talia’s voice clearly, so she threw the door open and stood in the doorway like a wild animal. With eyes wide and searching, Mj found Talia holding Dante’s mostly limp body off the ground and as the Alpha’s eyes fell on Mj she laughed maniacally and threw Dante across the chamber. The once magnificent man sailed across the room before crashing into a well lit large marble fireplace. Without a thought toward the seething female Mj darted toward Dante and immediately pulled his body free of the fire and rubble, she was almost shocked to see that his h

Mj heard the chains holding the door closed clank against the wall as it was thrust open, but she did not open her eyes nor did she move. She simply sat and felt the air around her, the dirt beneath her, and the wolf within her as she waited for the angry she-wolf to approach. The sound of Talia’s laugh was not the only sound that piqued Mj's interest. The sound of multiple sets of feet approaching had the assassin at the ready but as the wind picked up the scent of not just her Alpha but her brother and Dante mixed with Talia and a few strange scents had Mj’s back sitting a little straighter as she waited for the pompous Alpha to open her mouth.Talia did not disappoint nor did she wait long, “oh look Azreal, your assassin is as soft as you are,” she sneered and Mj slowly opened her eyes, completely ignoring Talia she bowed her head slightly to her Alpha. “Alpha

As Mj was making what felt like her twentieth lap around the arena, she heard a commotion begin over by the gate and as she picked up speed to make it to the exit she reached it in time to watch a petite young woman slip through the slit of the gate as two others pulled the door taught against its chains. Mj watched Azreal, Jay and several others begin to start physical altercations with the guards as the very gaunt girl ran up to her with a jug. “Please drink quickly,” she whispered, looking over her shoulder and pressing the full container into her palms. Mj opened the canteen and smelled, “it's water,” she mumbled back, and the girl urged her on with her hands, “it’s moon water Alpha, now please drink,” she hissed and Mj tipped the water bottle back, draining its contents before the poor girl ripped the flask from her hands and slipped back through the narrow opening. Mj licked her lips as the taste of the water was surprisingly refreshing. She couldn't quite remember the last tim

Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves EPILOGUE
In the weeks and months that followed Dante and Mj set to work building a pack their wayward people could call home. Some chose to leave, Mj agreed and almost insisted that they all stay in her building in Lowder until they figured out where they wanted to be. She assured Dante this was the best course of action as it kept them safe while they learned about the world and kept the Bijou pack safe, as the Alpha’s could easily keep an eye on anyone wishing to leave. Mj and Lila spoke on the phone almost daily, and the Quicksilver Alpha had even gotten her techno - impaired friend to do video calls, so they could truly visit with one another. In that time, the two women had exchanged troubling tales of walkers that continued to plague the outskirts of Bijou territory, while the Quicksilver pack was having its own trouble training hunters and tracking down the other Triad testing facilities. The two Alpha’s started to become somewhat legendary as they paved the way for a new way. Every wol
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 103) Surrendered Confession
Mj looked at the phone in her hand and then at her mate, “I think she hung up on me,” she said and Dante laughed as he grabbed the small square device from her hand and tossed it over his head, “good, now I get you all to myself, yummy” he growled before wrapping his arms around her and burying his face into the center of her chest and inhaling. Mj cupped his face, smashing it between her breasts, “we have time for this later Alpha, we have a pack to rebuild and a family to prepare for,” she said and Dante looked up into her eyes with an excitement she had never seen as he placed the palm of his hand over her stomach, “are you,” he asked, and she let a laugh blast from her chest, “hell no, number one, it’s way too early to know… I think, and two I was actually talking about Moxie and the brood of babies he and Jay now have,” Mj finished and Dante looked at her, first, slightly disappointed and then confused, “kitten,” the Alpha cocked his head, “how the fuck,” he began and Mj laughed
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 102) Some News
Azreal led Lila by the hand toward the Alpha’s private office, and although she knew they had to make this call now, it did not stop her from dragging her feet all the way to the desk. Azreal smirked at the new furniture arrangement before pulling the large ornate armchair out from the desk, “your seat my lady,” he rumbled, and although she suddenly wanted nothing more than to rip his clothes off and let him have his way with her right there on the desk, she was now the acting Alpha and unfortunately that was a fantasy she would have to put on hold. Lila sat back in the chair while Azreal pushed her up to the desk and as she reached for the phone, Azreal put both of his hands to work on her shoulders. Lila groaned in pleasure as she lifted the phone. “What do I tell her?” she asked, and Azreal kissed the side of her head as he continued messaging her shoulders and neck. “You are the Alpha my love, what do you think you should tell her,” he answered and Lila made a small, unpleasant
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 101) What Does the Doc Say?
The sound of hushed voices woke Azreal with a start as he realized his youngest children were no longer cradled between his arms as they had been when he fell asleep. Sitting up, he exhaled when Lila and Beth stood in the kitchen, each with one small bundle wrapped in their arms. Azreal stood up, stretching his arms, before he approached the women in the kitchen. “Alpha,” Beth said respectfully and bowed her head. Azreal glanced at Lila and smirked, “Beth… I am no longer an Alpha, just call me Azreal,” he mused and watched as the corners of her mouth twitched up just slightly as Briella and Matty made their way back into the suite, followed by Aliza and Adler.“Momma can we take the babies outside to play,” Aliza asked as she twirled around in her canary yellow dress and as Lila inhaled to answer, Azreal bent down to address his youngest daughter, “Lizzie sweetie, the boys are very young and they are vulnerable, it's not safe for them to be without me or your mother,” he explained and
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 100) Show & Tell
After making it into their suite and getting the muddy youngsters clean, Lila waited until they were occupied with other activities before she approached Azreal, “we need to talk Alpha, alone,” she said softly and Azreal looked at her with a genuine but soft concern. Azreal stood, reluctantly leaving the side of his sleeping infant boys, and approached his mate. “You seem tired my love, would you like a bath?” he asked her with a wry smile and Lila grinned at him warmly, “Azz I would love nothing more than to take a bath with you, but I think you should hear me out first, you may not want to be in the same room with me let alone a bathtub,” she warned and Azreal’s eyebrow arched so high it almost disappeared in his dark hairline, “my greatest love, my Beta, my mate, and the mother of my legacy, there is nothing on this planet or any other that would make me not want to be naked with you,” he said with a heated look and Lila sighed. “Azreal I mean it. I already spoke with the hunters a
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 99) The Right Decision
Lila exhaled again as she dismissed the hunters and followed them out of the Alpha’s private office. Mara turned to her and offered a warm smile, “for what it’s worth, I think what you are doing is incredibly brave, for what it's worth,” she tried and Lila offered her an appreciative smile, “thank you Mara, I really needed to hear that, sometimes I just don't know what the right decision is,” Lila shook her head, fighting back the tears threatening to fall from her face, “especially right now,” she added and Mara offered the Beta a firm and warm hug, “don’t worry Lila this pack loves you almost as much as the Alpha does, they will stand behind you the way we are, because even we can see the change in him,” she finished before Tanner turned to find his mate lagging behind with their Beta. As he approached Lila tucked her head slightly and Tanner cleared his throat, “Be- uh, Lila, when things have settled here I would very much like to take a trip up to see the new Bijou Alpha and Beta
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 98) With Women in Charge
Moxie watched Azreal disappear with his children, and as hard as the faithful hunter tried, he could not keep the hateful poison from his heart. Thoughts of sadness and melancholy swirled around his mind as the swamp wolf stood by waiting for direction. “Why should Azreal be the only one to enjoy the wholeness of his family,” Moxie thought to himself and, almost as if his Beta could hear his thoughts, Lila approached him and held out her arms.Moxie looked at her suspiciously and she only smiled at him in kind, “I miss him too, but not more than you, do you need-,” she began, and before the Beta could finish, Moxie landed against her chest, his arms wrapped around her waist like a small child as his back shuddered with every silent tear he shed. Sam, Tanner, and Ace all stood by looking between one another in confusion and a growing sense of worry, “his sadness consumes him,” Briella murmured from behind them and the trio all turned to the young Alpha for direction, but she only tur
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 97) Changes
Azreal tried to settle into the uncomfortable silence that had engulfed their ride home since Lila watched Jay chase the S.U.V. Moxie was in, howling a forlorn tale as the shifted hunter galloped furiously alongside his departing mate. The sound of Jay’s whaling howl finally faded into silence and as Azreal looked to his mate, she tightly folded her arms around her chest and sat with her back as rigid and unforgiving as a steep mountain cliff, “I won’t speak to you,” she snapped and Azreal sat back into his seat slightly in shock, “why,” he asked, genuinely curious and Lila simply shook her head as tears welled in her eyes. Azreal threw his hand into the air before letting it fall onto his thigh, making a loud smacking sound, “what would you have had me do Lila,” he asked in a frustrated but soft tone and the Quicksilver Beta snapped her head in his direction with a look of malice seated deep into her eyes, “did you hear his heart break Azreal, how could you,” she hissed and Azreal l
Legacy of the Wolf: War of the Wolves 96) Accused & Accountable
Mj waited with her heart pounding in her chest for the crowd to make their decision, and although she could tell quite a few of them were not pleased with some of the things that were happening, they were also not leaving, so she took several deep breaths and placed herself calmly in the seat at the center of the podium. Lou and Dante followed, although Dante moved his arm to caress the side of her fingers, trying his best to show her that he was there to support her through the tough decisions they now had to make. “Bring the first one forward,” Mj spoke with a hint of the wolf beneath her voice, and Dante sat next to her with pride swelling in his chest to such a vast degree he thought he might pop. As the first Nerezza guard was shoved forward and slammed to his knees, Mj peered over the podium at him before she looked out over the crowd, “state the nature of his crimes,” she demanded with the confidence of an Alpha, and with little hesitation the other pack members began rattling
