Rebecca’s POV “It’s Patty sweetheart, it’s Patty.” Ike coos, soothing me. I see him mind link and hear movement inside. Sam opens the door in a tee shirt and pants. Not his usual nighttime ensemble. “Patty wanted to stay after our date. I can’t say no to that little sister.” He opens the door and I see Patty asleep in his bed and a pallet built beside the bed. “She got scared in the guest room.” I softened seeing him be a good big brother. “I just wanted to say goodnight and I love you.” “I love you baby, see you two in the morning,” he kisses me sleepily. Ike and I go to his bedroom. I never really looked around his room before. There are two walls covered in books. I look at the bookshelves. Human histories, pack histories, other supernatural histories. I see the section on Lycans is extensive. “You fought in the battle of Lycaness didn’t you,” I look at him. He nods. “Did you or Sam get hurt?” “Yes, but we healed. Our jobs were to orb warriors in.
Rebecca’s POV We all settle in for lunch, Ike comes down last and I’m already between Nancy and Sam. “Nancy,” Ike said, narrowing his eyes at her. “Isaac,” Nancy said, narrowing her eyes back. “Are you challenging an Alpha?” Isaac asks. “Nope I’m challenging my best friend's mate,” Nancy didn’t look away. “You know you hurt her you hurt me, right?” I said, smirking. Ike gives up and sits across from me. I smile at him and rub my foot up his leg under the table. Ike- I love you, Luna. Me- I love you, Alpha. Sam- Is there a reason I’m on this mindlink? Ike- Don’t you have something to say to our Luna. Sam- Oh yeah, I love you baby. I giggle and bump Sam’s shoulder. We smile at each other. “So, since I pissed off one Alpha, may as well go for broke, why are you taking my best friend on a workout date?” Nancy asks. “Sam, you aren’t” Rona, a sister, yells. “That is so gross, Sam,” Beth, another sister, gives him mean look. “Sammy, you can do bet
Rebecca’s POV My date with Sam ended in a fight. Of course, it did! He wanted us to sleep in his room, I reminded him that he had sex with other shewolves in that bed and had promised me that he would not take me to somewhere he had been with others. I honestly have no interest in being in that room ever. We slept, just slept, in our bedroom alone. I hear his alarm go off. He wanted to show Isaac you can make love all night and still be to work on time. Sorry, I screwed that up. I whine, when he turns allowing the cold to replace my comfortable warmth. “I have work, baby,” he kisses my cheek. “I’m sorry, I’m so not the best mate right now.” “Rebecca, I love you. I promise to be the most faithful, the most loyal. You are my life. And I will spend every day proving to you that I am trustworthy.” “I’m sure once the PMS is over, I’ll feel better.” I say, kissing his cheek. “You have some long PMS! Horny as hell, moody, sick, I couldn’t be a fema
Max’s POV When I found out I had cause to deny DJ the Beta title I was overjoyed. My great-grandfather was a true believer in the moon goddess and her wisdom. Pack leaders, especially, were required to accept their true mates. The exceptions were if the mate rejected them for a chosen mate, if they impregnated another she-wolf (this had a whole different set of consequences), or if the mate's Alpha refused to release the mate to join our pack. For non-Pack Leaders there were these exceptions, plus if they had already mated and marked a chosen mate. Pack leaders were not allowed to take a chosen mate until one of the other exceptions had been fulfilled. This was pack law 101, but David was not the brightest crayon in the box, so it’s possible he is too dumb to realize how dumb he is. We left the clinic when my sister implied female issues. Yeah, not interested. “I hope she is getting birth control, she is too young for a pup, or worse two pups!” Dad shook his head. “Hey, you and mo
Rebecca’s POV “Can you not matelink when you are both on packlands?” I asked, very curious. “Chosen mates can’t do that.” She looked sad. I hugged her. She was missing so much. During the day, my Alphas would send me quick, private messages. Sam’s were mostly dirty, and I would blush. Ike’s were more sweet and cute. I can’t imagine living without those two in my head. While thinking about it, I absentmindedly pressed Sam’s mark and he orbs just behind me. “Rebecca, you okay?” Sam looked worried and scanned me for bruises. “Oh, sorry, Sam, I was thinking about something, and I must have hit my mark by accident.” I hugged him anyway. This must be the equivalent to Ass Dialing someone. Me-Did you know chosen mates can’t mindlink each other? I was thinking about how much I would miss you and Ike inside my head. Sam kissed the top of my head. Sam-Want to tell me what is going on? Me- Not yet, get out of here, before you start something the warriors will have to help finish. S
Max’s POV Isaac has messed up DJ’s face pretty badly. He is alive and conscious, but bleeding. Sam walks over toward DJ, and I think ‘goodnight, DJ.’ But, instead to my and everyone else’s shock, Sam rolls his eyes and heals DJ’s nose. “Should have let him bleed to death,” Isaac sneers. Sam glazes over, clearly mind linking his brother. Isaac laughs and pulls my sister tightly, gently caressing a still very flat belly. “Thank you, Samson, I like this rug, I would hate to have to throw it away because of blood,” Mom said, almost giggling. “Now, DJ did you reject your fated mate?” Dad asks, directly. “Yes,” DJ answers, confused. “Why does it matter? She is an Omega, not worthy of a Beta.” “She is more worthy to be a Beta than you are! She was valedictorian, prom Queen, and truly a nice person,” my sister spits. “Whatever,” DJ rolls his eyes. “You and I would have made this pack stronger. Max mated to an Alpha’s daughter. We could take over
Rebecca’s POV At least DJ didn’t suffer too much. Sam gave him three chances to live. In the fourth attack, Sam broke his neck. Sam came over and I comforted him. DJ’s body was taken away. Susan didn’t come in the arena, she and Hedrick waited outside. “Hedrick, you should try for the newly opened Beta position,” Isaac smiles at him. “We will hold open auditions tomorrow,” Dad said, walking past all of us. “Which of you did it?” Susan asks in a small voice. She must have felt it. Even after a rejection and re-mating, a little of the bond exists. Not enough to hurt, but enough to feel it. “Me.” Sam is holding me tightly. I know he has killed before, but it seems to bother him this time. “I’m sorry you had to do that,” Susan says and walks away. “Guys, I need a minute with Sam,” I say, shooing them all away. “Baby, are you okay?” Sam took a deep breath and held it. When he exhaled, he
Isaac’s POV My Luna has a bitchy side. I kinda like it. She is insecure, but when she finds out the shewolf my Luna was jealous of, has a less attractive mate, my Luna changes her tune. Not sure why this is attractive, must be the mate bond. Sam also seems to find it cute. What is wrong with us? Mom and Stephanie, Virginia’s mom, had always hoped we were mates. You can’t imagine how sad they were when they discovered it wasn’t true. Flashback “Virginia turns 18 in 30 minutes. Let’s all gather downstairs,” Mom calls me and Sam. We turned 18 four days ago. I’m not going to lie or sugarcoat it; Virginia is hot, like on fire hot. To lose my virginity to her would be a gift. She is not going to want slow and steady; she is going to want hard and fast. Tearing of clothes. I bet she wants Sam and I together the first time. Sam and I walk to the entry way. “Brings back memories,” mom said, smiling and hugging dad. Dad claimed her in the entryway of the Alpha hou
