Patrick’s POV Marie is full of fury and anger. Her parents had agreed for her to stay until school started, but now I’m asking her to leave. “Can we talk about this in another room?” I ask, looking around. All the Alpha’s look sympathetic. They all have Lunas, and Lunas be crazy. As we leave, I hear the other Alphas laughing and taking bets. I follow Marie to my office, thank you goddess for soundproofing. “I’m not leaving, Patrick,” Marie yells, as soon as the door is closed. “Yes you are,” I say directly. “It’s not safe right now, as soon as it is safe I will bring you back.” “This pack already recognizes me as Luna, so I can’t run and hide.” She stomps her foot for emphasis. “You can if you don’t have a wolf and you don’t, so it’s better for you to not be here. The pack needs protection, and you can’t defend yourself.” Oh, shit! That was the wrong thing to say. “Want to bet asshole!” Marie screams. The next thing I know I’m thrown to the ground and Marie is standing
Marcus’s POV I go back to the room I shared with Cleo, leaving Cindy and Patrick. I breathe deeply. Her scent is everywhere. I’m the Beta of Blood Moon, I have responsibilities, but I feel dazed. I lay on the bed, only hours ago I was making love to her in this bed. Her skin was next to mine, her lips were pressed tightly to mine. Her arms were pulling me to her. I smell her cum mixed with mine in the sheets, I smell our sweat. Her pillow is full of her scent. I pull it to my chest and cry. My Cleo, my mate, I need her to survive. I’ll never get over this, I’ll never move on. Was this a cruel joke? So much happiness, so much love ripped away. We should have marked each other. We should have made a baby. If she had gotten pregnant, she wouldn’t have been in the fight. She would be safe; I’d be holding her right now. Why did we want to wait? There is a knock on the door. I wipe my eyes and answer it. Carlisha is there. I don’t realize I’m still holding Cleo’s pillow. “I came b
Patrick’s POV“Are you sure you can trust me with the pack? Are you sure you trust me to keep Marie safe?” Marcus asks me for the hundredth time this morning.We are packing the car with mine and mom’s things.“I wouldn’t be going in person if I didn’t. Most of this could be done by phone, but mom and I agree, looking these assholes in the eye will be best.“Pat I don’t want anyone to ever feel like it do, least of all you. Are you sure you don’t want my dad to take over for a while?” Marcus and I are away from everyone. I look at him, he is still hurting. My dad is here to back him up, but Marie’s safety is squarely on him. “Marcus, you were born the Beta of Blood Moon. There is not a warrior here who can beat you. Including your father. I need the best to protect Marie, and you are the best, even at your worst. Cleo would be so angry if you used her as an excuse to dodge your duties. So do her proud,” I say hoping it hits him right. I watch my broken friend holding it together by
James’s POVI’m a lot less feared than my brother-in-law and his pack. I’m seen as tough, but approachable. So, when I requested a meeting with Dallas, he accepted my request and offered me safe passage. I can kill five at a time, so I wasn’t nervous until Kass told me that she trained these bastards. Great, if I have to fight my way out, it could hurt. But my goal is simple, kill the witch and get Dallas to agree to attack the Lycans. If all that fails, Patrick is ready to challenge Dallas head on.But, for any of this to happen I have to kill the witch. Not my favorite thing to do. Killing a witch causes a ripple effect in the world of magic. All witches feel the loss. If he has any friends I could be hunted down, since I can’t be hexed, they will likely hex my Luna or daughter, who are not immune to magic.I am at the gate with my “driver”, actually my Second Beta, Cliff. They check us over.“Remember Cliff, keep your Beta Aura in check,” I remind him.“Taylor has been working with
Patrick’s POVUncle James sent word that Hunt and Dallas are now allies in the fight with the Lycans.Now it was time to face King Archibald himself. I set up the meeting in Frontière Sand, since neither of us trusted the other to be on home turf.We met in a clearing 200 yards from Lycan Territory. Thousands of Lycans could have easily ambushed us, so we had our forces hidden, but not too far away.“Luna, we meet again,” the king bowed to my mother. My mother nodded only. “Alpha.”“Your Highness,” I nod.“I have paid the compensation per the treaty,” the king started. “I have fired and beheaded four generals for conspiring with Archimedes and the pack he controlled. I humbly ask your forgiveness for my deceit in telling you of my eldest son's death. In truth, I believed he was behind the attack on your pack, and I wanted to punish him, but let him live. He did not conspire with Archimedes; I can assure you.”I stood in silence, waiting to see if he had anything else to say. Claire an
Marie’s POVI’m on the tarmac waiting for the plane to land. My mate is on that plane. I want to be in his arms, I want him wrapped up with me in our bed. I may never let him go! Screw school, screw everything, I need to screw him.The plane lands and the door opens, I don’t wait for anyone to walk off, I bound up the stairs.Patrick is standing at the door smirking, when I attack him. He lifts me by my thighs, and we kiss like no one is watching.“Yeah, so the rest of us want off the plane, either take it down the stairs or to the bedroom,” Delaney says.“There’s a bedroom on the plane?” I ask.“But, no condoms,” he answers, nodding.“I got you,” I move his hand to the back pocket of my shorts. I grabbed a few in case we got frisky in the car on the way home.“Yeah, excuse us,” Patrick said, carrying me to the bedroom.“I have six,” I whisper, taking them out of my pocket, as I removed my shorts. “I’m dripping wet, I need you.”“I need you too,” he says, now naked, grabbing me into
Marie's POV“You are not leaving my side all day or all night,” Patrick said, when I try and get out of bed Saturday morning.“So, you want me to pee the bed?” I ask, slapping his hand. I get up as he groans.“We have a high school here, can’t you transfer?” He whines. “I went there it’s a great school!”“We promised my parents I would come home,” I remind him.“You promised. I can go to war with Blue Mountain, and you can stay here.” Patrick winks.“My dad would squash you like a bug. Besides, I will see you every month and some months multiple times,” I remind him. Although the idea of him willing to go to war to keep me is extremely hot.“I’m gonna need three or four hours of personal time with you at the beginning and end of each visit.” He yells at me, while I’m in the bathroom. I can’t help but smile.“Only that long? Geez, what good are you?” I tease him, laying back down next to him.“Wanna to find out how good I am?” He smirks and starts kissing my neck.“Show me, Alpha,” I w
Patrick’s POVMom and Dad send regular reports about the process in the Lycan Kingdom. Everything seems to be doing very well. There have been no challenges to their authority.Alex is helping Dallas keep his pack running. Cindy is training both packs. Them being Allies again is a very good thing.Marcus is making peace finally with Cleo being gone. He discussed a new Gamma, but I pushed the conversation. I don’t want another Gamma. Maybe not ever. Cleo was it and she can’t be replaced.We went to the All the events throughout the school year, Marie was here for winter break and cleared the Luna duties, staffing the ones that needed to be done every day to various mated ladies that I haven’t been with. Marie says she trusts me, but only so much, I think.Blake and Carlisha decided to move the Carlisha’s home pack of Silver Creek where Uncle James is Alpha. He accepted them. I was sad to see them go, but I know it’s for the best.Saying goodbye after those two weeks was nearing impossib
Third Person POVIt’s been 10 years since the goddess promised to leave the Wallace clan alone. Patty finished medical school and started her career. Frank is Alpha and Alex serves as his Beta. The brothers don’t fight, but get along beautifully. Patty even keeps her mouth under control with Alex’s mate.“PattyCake, you okay, babe?” Frank calls, from the bedroom to the bathroom, where his mate and wife have been for a while. “Dr. Patty, what ya doing?”“Hey, Hotdog man,” Patty can’t stop smiling, walking toward Frank on the bed.“That is my least favorite of your nicknames for me,” Frank smiles at her. “What’s in your hand, babe?”“Oh, just a stick, that has pee on it,” Patty straddles her husband, wearing his tee shirt.“Gross, why are you bringing that to bed?”Patty giggles, holding the stick up to Franks eyes.Frank reads the stick, unable to comprehend what he is reading.“Babe, I’m pregnant, you knocked me up!” Patty squeals.Frank looks at the test again and smiles. “We are goin
Patty’s POVG is running so fast Rebecca and I can barely keep up. But I smell him as G rips the dungeon door open. The guards submit immediately since G, Rebecca and I are all sending our auras out. “Wolfsbane on the bars grab those gloves,” G tells me and Rebecca. Rebecca steps back and presses Ike’s mark, he orbs in with Rita and Garrett Sr. Rebecca hands Rita gloves as G unlocks the cell doors. Rita runs to Greyson who holds his mother tight and I see Garrett Sr wrap them both in a hug. G opens the cell where Frank is hanging by silver chains. “Frank,” I yell catching him as G releases him. Rebecca presses Sam’s mark on her and Sam arrives to heal Frank. “PattyCake,” Frank saids and I melt into his chest. We are both crying holding each other on the floor of the cell. “Frankfurter,” I cry holding him. “Alex was under a spell. Susan was a witch.” “Was?” Frank asks. “Yeah, Luca killed her for pointing a gun at me.”“Remind me to thank him.” Frank cups my face and pulls me in
Patty’s POV. When I wake up I look at my phone and Frank’s bed is empty. I disconnect the call and check my texts, nothing. He might have gone training. We talked last night and I’m feeling a slight pull to Lunar Road. “Hey sis,” April smiles as I join them at the breakfast table. “Hey. I need to get to Lunar Road. Marie is going to orb me to Blood Moon, then from The Portal to Lunar Road.” I blurt out. My conversation with Marie just spilling out. “So you are buying him as your fated mate?” Nancy asks. “He felt Austin kiss me, he felt Jern hold my hand In Lycaness. No way he feels those unless he’s fated to me.” I answer. “I want to be near him to feel the bond and etc etc.” April giggles. “Patty is going to be a Luna!” Nancy sings. “Yeah yeah!” I say. “Hello sisters!” Marie orbs to the seat between April and Nancy. “I really hate the orbing power,” Carlos rolls his eyes. “Just be glad we are all on your side,” Marie smiles. “Ready babe?” “Yeah just want to do hugs and
Patty’s POV Cooper River holds a special place for me. First of all, my sisters are Luna’s here. Second of all it’s a greater connection to my triplet, they are cousins with the Alphas. “Hey Beautiful,” Frank answers my call. He is in the office but he still answers me. “Am I interupting?” I ask. “Not at all. Just going over patrol schedules. Are you on Cooper River?” “I’m fifteen minutes away. I just wanted to call.” Frank smirks, “We should try to pleasure each other over the phone?” I see my driver stiffen. “I don’t think my driver wants that kind of show.”Franks smile doesn’t move. “Later then. Tonight on the phone.” I can’t help but giggle. “No you bad boy.” “I’m a perfect angel, baby. Trust me I haven’t hopped a portal and run after you yet. And it is taking some major restraint on my part. How long will you be with Nancy and April?” “I don’t know a week. Cindy wants me to come to Western Hollow while I’m here. She knows I HATE Tabitha, so she said a day trip would b
Patty’s POV“Goodnight, Frank,” I shyly smile.“Goodnight, baby,” he smiles back, and we hang up.“Patrica Wallace why didn’t you tell him you love him too?” Renee is grinning as she scolds me.I pull my knees to my chest as she sits on my bed.“I’m not ready yet,” I say blushing.Renee shakes her head. “You are so stubborn!”I lay back down and fall to sleep with my sister next to me.The morning brings training with Edward, Steven, Kass, and the Advanced Lycan Warriors.“Patty, let’s see what ya got,” Kass says, motioning me over to a large male. “This is Jern; Jern, Patty Wallace. Stances.”Jern smirks at me. “Loser buys dinner?”“Winner gets to pick the place?” I add.“It’s a date.”We fight and he can’t keep up. He’s slow and depends too much on his strength. I get my legs wrapped around his torso and arms around his neck.“Mercy,” he chokes out, as I tighten my grip.“I like steak,” I smile at him.“I’ll pick you up at 7.” He says, taking my hand and kissing it. It felt gross. I
Patty’s POV“Pitty- Pat,” my sister, Renee squeals, as I climb to that tarmac. “You are here! I’m so happy!”Kate is, by far, my favorite sister. Renee is number 3, she doesn’t annoy me, much. Marie is number two because she and I share Patrick’s attention and she never gets jealous.“This place is beautiful,” I comment, at the bright sun and clean greenery everywhere. The airport is in the middle of what looks like a lush rainforest.“Yeah, it’s nice. Come, Steven is waiting for us by the car. He and an old buddy are catching up,” Renee looks radiant.“So, Kate is so in love, she doesn’t care about not getting her Olive Wolf, or powers. What about you?” I ask.“Yeah, I was warned you are considering a chosen mate. I’m totally cool, but I get to be a Lycan, so…”“True.”We giggle, as her mate comes into view. My sister is lucky. Damn, this Lycan is hot!“So, talk to me about Frank,” Renee coos, as Steven drives us to their house.“He is Alex’s brother,” I shrug. “He makes me smile.”“
Patty’s POV When Alex was banished from Lunar Road his mother was sad, but completely understood. I still don’t understand what Frank was trying to prove grabbing my face. He can’t be my second chance. I mean I enjoy him, his company, oh and his kiss. My wolf is still not ready to accept a mate. She loved Alex so much. We can’t feel or sense any mates. I feel empty without the ability I have prized since I was a small child. Marie has orbed us home and the first people I see are my sister Kate and her human mate Tammy. “You look great to have been through a rejection. You think if I reject Kate the two of you could help together?” Tammy jokes. She is a laugh through it type person. And honestly to live with Kate, she doesn’t have a choice but to be that way. “Ignore her ass,” Kate says hugging me. “What does ice cream and sappy movies not sound good to you?” I laugh. “Honestly, I’m glad Frank and I had each other. We got through the worse of it.” “And you are sure you didn’t
Franks’s POVMy instinct is to grab my mate and hold her close, to comfort her. But, she still doesn’t see me as her mate. I have to keep my distance in public.“Let’s get this over with,” Dad says, calling order.The elders already have the footage from the conference room, where it all went down.Patty and I are forced to watch our mates make out with each other in front of the gathered assembly.When I watch Alex slap Patty’s face, I want to bash his face in. I see Uncle G also stiffen, as if restraining himself. Alpha Patrick, his Beta Marcus, G’s Beta Alec, and all of her sisters look deadly.Once the video is over, the Elders turn to Alex.“What do you have to say for yourself?” The Elder asks.Alex looks smug, “Susan and I have been in love for three years. We began having an affair before she was mated. Once she mated to my brother, I will admit she cooled on me. I would get a pity make out session, every now and again to appease me. But, she refused to have sex with me anymor
Patty’s POVI don’t wake up to the sun. Instead, I wake up to kisses.I moan, which seems to encourage the lips to continue.“Give me a hickie, and I’ll kill you,” I say.“But, I’m your mate, and you are mine. All mine forever,” I look up and see Alex’s face. His right hand is deformed from where I crushed it.“How did you get in here?” I ask, trying to move away from him.“I just came for what’s mine,” Alex pins me against a wall, as I catch sight of my bed. Frank is laying in a pool of blood. “I removed you from him, before killing him. Couldn’t have my mate covered in blood. Not until I’ve had my way with you.”“Stop,” I yell, and I try to get away.“Nothing can stop me. I’ll take you, then I’ll kill you,” Alex hisses and tries to stab me with a needle.Wait, I don’t feel any pain. He has me pinned, but no pain. This isn’t real. It’s a nightmare. Wake up, wake up, wake up!“Baby, baby, you are okay,” Frank’s voice is breaking through. “PattyCake, wake up it’s okay.”When I finally
