Sebastian returns to Temperance, his parents with him.Temperance pretends to be asleep, scenting her parents.“Baby, Lucius, Mora, Kent, and Layla are dead,” Sebastian tells her, before helping her sit up. “Jasper is gone.”Temperance sits up. “So, we are ready to tell the world I’m alive?”“No,” Sebastian says. “I want him to make a move. I’m hoping it's after the baby is born.”“Seb, you want me to stay locked up here for 5 months?” Temperance asks.“As we know who we can trust, we can start softening the ground for your return,” Janice tells her. “But I agree, we should keep you hidden until you are delivered.”Temperance looks at the only window in her room. Her only portal to the outside for next five months.“How are we going to explain Sebastian not going crazy?” Temperance asks.“Oh, I’m going crazy,” Sebastian smirks. “I’m a lunatic according to what the pack just saw.”“Learner is willing to say he is crazy,” Zachary tells them. “I think we need to trust him.”“I agree,” Se
Milo is doing push-ups, when Sebastian opens his cell door.Milo looks up and gets to his feet. Milo furrows his eyebrows, and his mouth is slightly agape.“How can you still smell like Tempe? Judging by my meals, she has been dead five months.”“Cole trusts you,” Sebastian says.“Prince trusts you,” Milo nods.“Why did you not run with your brother?” Sebastian asks.“He was part of the plot to kill Tempe. He lost me there. He knew she was likely pregnant because of her heat. Killing children is why we hate humans. I won’t stoop that low,” Milo confesses honestly.“Your mate is human,” Sebastian says.Milo’s eyes go wide, and he starts breathing heavily.“Yes,” Milo chokes out.“Temperance was on her way to see your mate and child when the plane exploded. Lucius claimed to have killed them in Barcelona,” Sebastian tells him. Milo sinks to the floor.“Prince is suppressed, I can’t feel her.”“Empty feeling isn’t it, not feeling your mate,” Sebastian says sternly.Milo looks up at him.
“I want you with Sandra,” Sebastian says.“The point of all this is to show myself to Jasper,” Temperance argues.“And you will. Once he attacks, we will arrest and detain him. Your Dad will take over his rogues and pack. Then at his trial...”“Fuck a trial,” Temperance interrupts. “We kill him and his whore in battle.”“He won’t bring his Luna to the battle,” Sebastian rolls his eyes. “I have eight of our best female warriors going after her.”“So, she will die?” Temperance asks.“Yes,” Sebastian grazes her cheek with his fingers. “Temperance please, Terry needs you more than he needs me. And Sandra needs to be protected. You are not only the best warrior, but you are a mother.”“Stop,” Temperance holds up her hand. “I am Alpha, and you are Beta. We will stand shoulder to shoulder and fight. Our appearance together will strike fear into them.”“And what if Jasper runs and we lose him?” Sebastian asks.“I’ll catch him,” Temperance assures him.“What if you can’t, Tempe?” Sebastian pul
Milo and Jasper shift, making Zachary smirk.“Defend,” Zachary orders his troops and most shift. “Don’t cross the border. Defend our pack.”With that order, Zachary shifts into his oversized black wolf.Milo and Jasper jump into Biczi Pack, but the warriors of Biczi submit to them quickly.Spartan takes this as a sign of respect and leaves them alone.As Spartan and Prince walk toward the packhouse, they are ignorant of the battle behind them.Their troops are failing fast.Spartan and Prince see Janice running toward the field.Spartan is taken aback but smirks, knowing he can kill her and there will never be another to challenge him or Olivier for Biczi.Spartan begins to charge her, but Janice stands her ground. As Spartan leaps to attack, Janice smirks and Rose comes forward, catching Spartan’s paw.Princes gives Milo control and submits.Cole, and his guard circle a confused and whimpering Spartan.Rose and Cole stand shoulder to shoulder over him.Cole let’s out a howl to end th
“Sebastian, good to see you,” The Alpha says, looking confused.“I apologize, Alphas, for being the first representative from Biczi on this call. However, it is important. As you all can see I am not feral, nor has my mark faded,” Sebastian shows them his mark.“After 6 months, it’s hard to believe,” Mitchell states. “Unless I lost a bet with my Luna.”“I want to assure all of you that the deception was necessary and productive,” Sebastian tells them.“You caught him red-handed?” Learner asks with a smile.Sebastian nods, “Attempting to attack a she-wolf he thought was with child.”“Jasper Justice should be stripped of his title and executed forthwith,” Learner offers.“Can the rest of us hear the evidence?” An Alpha asks. “And not from a Beta.”“Of course,” Sebastian stands, and Temperance sits down to the shock of everyone.“I assure you the deception was necessary,” Temperance tells them.“Yep, lost a bet with my Luna,” Mitchell smile and sighs. “Good to see you, Tempe.”“Thank you
Milo returns home to find his Beta waiting for him.“Charles,” Milo says with a nod.“You are mated to a human and have children with her?” Charles asks.“Yes,” Milo answers.“Then I, Charles Barren, Beta of Reynolds Pack, challenge you, Alpha Milo Reynolds, for the title Alpha,” Charles declares.“Fine,” Milo smiles. “Let’s go.”“You aren’t afraid at all?” Charles asks, his voice shaking.“Nope. I spent my time in jail working out. I spent time with Justice training, and just this morning I had sex with my mate. I’m about as fit as a fiddle. I don’t want anyone in the pack who can’t respect my Luna, and if my Beta feels he can run the pack better, I am more than happy to prove him wrong,” Milo removes his jacket. “Let’s go, the captains are watching. Alpha Kinder will be my second.”“I got your back,” Kinder smirks, sitting on the hood of his own car to watch the fight.“To submission,” Charles stumbles a little.“No, this will be to the death. Anyone who challenges me or disrespects
Three Months Later-“Baby,” Sebastian yells as Terry squirms in his arms. “He can’t walk yet, why does he want down?”“Because he can crawl,” Temperance laughs. “Just let him down. I put the gate on the stairs.”“Fine, whatever,” Sebastian releases his wild son to the floor. Sebastian laughs as Terry makes a bee line for the stairs.“Are you coming to Grandma?” Janice teases, opening the gate and scooping Terry up.“He squirmed from me,” Sebastian pouts.“You aren’t grandma,” Temperance teases him, before kissing his cheek.Sebastian looks down at her. Sebastian bites his lips as he takes in his mate.“Damn Baby, are we welcoming the Alphas?” Sebastian asks.“Yes, why?” Temperance asks.“Because this outfit has me thinking other thoughts,” Sebastian pulls her close and kisses her neck, making her laugh.“It's a pant suit, what kind of male finds a pant suit sexy?” Temperance asks.“Me,” Sebastian growls, capturing her lips.“Okay, you two, no need to make another baby, yet.” Janice le
15 YEARS LATER“HANK!” Terry yells, running from the car and jumping on his favorite person in the world.“Terry!” Hank hugs him close.“Hank!” Oliver also yells, joining their hug.“GROSS!” Catherine Reynolds yell at her brother and his best friends.“What is so gross?” Oliver asks, smirking at her.“You three all over each other,” Catherine makes a face.“Bet you wouldn’t care if I was all over you,” Terry says, surprising himself. He quickly stutters and recovers. “Sorry, no idea when that came from.”Hank looks between his best friend and his sister.“You guys are only a few months from sixteen,” Oliver smiles. “You might be you know what.”Terry and Catherine smile at each other.“I’m okay with that,” Terry declares.“Me too,” Catherine giggles.“Okay, but right now, today is about me,” Hank reminds them. “I am becoming Alpha today.”“Yes, this trip is about you,” Temperance joins them. Sebastian and their daughter, Nova, behind her.“Hi Hank,” Nova smiles, walking up to him.“He
