Jake freezes as does the dark beauty in front of him.“Wow, you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen,” she says looking at him. She drops her gun and stares into Jakes black eye. “I’m ordered to kill you, why can’t I?”Jake gives Hank back control.“Because we are mates,” Hank answers. “I’m Hank Reynolds.”“Juliet Collins,” she says, smirking at his naked body. “I feel the connection.“I’m 18,” Hank tells her, narrowing his eyes.“I’m 18 too,” she says. “My father will kill me if I am marked by a wolf.”“Can you call off the attack? You are Luna of the pack you are attacking,” Hank tells her.“Luna as in Queen of these wolves?” Juliet looks around and hears the screams. She lifts her walkie.“Pull back, stop firing.”“You feel the urge to protect them now,” Hank smiles. “It will only get stronger.”“Put your number in my phone under Hank, don’t put your last name or mate,” Juliet hands him her phone and he does it quickly. “I have to go, I’ll text you.”“I’ll be waiting,”
“You sure we can’t come too?” Terry asks. “I want to meet her.”“Can I meet her properly first?” Hank asks, running his fingers through his hair again.“You have your whole life with her,” Oliver laughs. “We have to return to our packs tomorrow.”“Guys,” Hank holds out his hands and his friends chuckle and don’t follow.“You can hear him, right?” Terry asks Oliver.“How do I have better hearing than you?” Oliver asks.“Want to take an eye test against me?” Terry asks.“Okay, you can see him, right?” Oliver asks.“How do I have better eyesight than you?” Terry mocks him. “Yeah, I got him. Damn she is hot.”“What does she look like?” Oliver asks.“Your complexion, maybe a little lighter, natural curly hair. Sweet face,” Terry tells him.“See any weapons or anything?” Oliver asks.“No,” Terry confirms.~~~Hank approaches her with caution.“You can cross the border, you are Luna here,” Hank tells her.“Yeah, I know how you guys work. I cross the border and you never let me go. My father
Hank and Juliet are sleeping comfortably on Hank's bed when the door opens.Hank jumps up and sees Nova walking in with Catherine.“What the hell are you two doing in here?” Hank asks.Catherine laughs and Nova bites her lip to stop smiling.“We want to meet her,” Nova finally answers.“She is not a side show, get out,” Hank orders.“Oh, come on,” Catherine whines.“Get out, both of you,” Hank rushes them out the door and locks it.“Who was that?” Juliet asks, sitting up slightly.“My bratty sister and her brat of a best friend,” Hank answers. “Oh, and FYI, if Nova Timberman gives you any trouble I want to know immediately. She wanted to be my mate and there is a whole drama about it.”He pulls her back to the cuddle position they were in.“Did you make sure to inflate the death numbers?” Juliet asks.“Yeah, 50 died last night. All the Alphas agree to the inflation as long as you give us info on the next attacks. We will keep inflating numbers,” Hank tells her.“How is it possible you
Hank walks Juliet to the border before the sun comes up.“The past 36 hours have been,” Hank can’t find the word.“Orgasmic,” Juliet offers.Hank smiles and pulls her to him for one more kiss. After dinner, they said good-bye to everyone and returned to their bedroom for more love making.“We had a few of those, yes,” Hank smiles at her.“You had a few, I’m still high from losing count,” Juliet teases.“Will be waiting patiently for you to come visit, or to text me, where to meet you,” Hank tells her. “Just know you are loved here.”“My next text will be telling you about the next attack,” Juliet tells him.Hank nods. “Luna Juliet, text me three times a day, if you miss more than two in a row, I’m tracking you down.”“I promise,” Juliet smiles. “8am, 12pm, 9pm.”Hank nods in agreement.They kiss and Juliet crosses the border.She back tracks several times and goes the long way around. She stays in the neutral zone for the most part, unaware that Hank can feel every time she steps over
Hank and Juliet lock eyes as Laylon falls at her feet.“The werewolves will have heard that,” Hank tells her. “More of your people are coming this way.”Hank pulls his phone from his jeans hanging in the tree and texts Alpha Dawson to hold, that the shot was friendly.“What happened?” Allan yells and grabs Juliet’s arm.Hank gets ready to jump from his perch.“He tried to,” Juliet cries. “Daddy, he wouldn’t take no for an answer.”Allan grip turns into a hug and Hank relaxes.“Your silencer has been tampered with,” Allan’s second in command says. “Tim, Eli, go see if any wolves heard this.”Hank watches as two men run off in opposite directions.“Is he dead?” Juliet asks.“You shot him in the forehead. Yes, he is dead,” The second tells her.“Daddy, he wouldn’t stop, even when I pointed the gun at him,” Juliet tells Allan, still crying.“You defended yourself,” Allan tells her. “I am proud of you. This will teach everyone you are not to be messed with.”Allan looks smug and smirks at
“Happy Birthdaym, an,” Hank slaps Terry’s back.“Thank you,” Terry says, sitting down to breakfast with the Reynolds family.“Just three months,” Catherine bounces into the kitchen.Terry lights up with a huge smile.“Just three months,” Terry tilts his head up and Cateherine plants a kiss right on his lips. Her wavy brown hair covering their faces so no one sees how passionate or deep it is.“I’m gonna be sick,” Hank shakes his head. His phone goes off.Juliet- Dad, took a turn for the worse. We may not head out raiding for a while.Hank- I miss you.Juliet- Can you meet me at Biczi Pack?Hank- YES! I’m going there today with Terry.Juliet- I’ll meet you there tonight. Will the Alpha and Luna let me stay?Hank- I’ll get you and I a hotel for however long you can stay.Juliet- No more than two days.Hank- Okay. See you tonight.Juliet- YES! *Heart emoji*“Juliet says her day has taken a turn and will likely not go out on schedule,” Hank tells Milo.“So what do that mean for you and Jul
“How was the visit?” Terry asks, holding Catherine on the couch.“Good, I need to talk to you and Ollie,” Hank says.“Can I come too?” Catherine asks.“I think you two could use a moment apart,” Hank answers, furrowing his eyebrows.“I meant to help. Give a female perspective,” Catherine rolls his eyes. “We can be separated.”“If forced,” Terry smirks.Catherine laughs, making Hank smile.“Well in this case, I need you to. This is an Alpha issue, not boy talk,” Hank tells them.“Should I get my Mom?” Terry asks.“She is waiting in her office, with Ollie on the phone,” Hank nods.“Be back soon, Baby,” Terry kisses Catherine’s temple. “All I am saying, Ollie, is by 30, you should have a mate,” Temperance tells him as Hank and Terry come in.“Ollie will never take a chosen mate. I think he knows who is mate is and just refuses to tell us,” Terry teases.“Trust me dude, with all the pressure I’m getting, I would tell,” Ollie says via the video call.“Okay, I wanted us to be here, beca
“What did you find out?” Allen asks Juliet when she gets to his bed side. “There is not better treatment in the Wolf world. Wolves don’t get cancer,” Juliet tells him. “Of course they don’t. Stupid mutts. Anyone harass you?” Allen holds her hand. “No Daddy. No one knows me. I can lead in your place and hopfully keep my name out of it,” Juliet tells him. “We have to keep the company going too. The wolves paying for their own destruction makes me happy,” Allen laughs but winces in pain. “I don’t think we can go back out as we planned. Tell everyone to enjoy the paid time off and to train. But don’t use the alloy bullets for target practice.”“I’ll give the order,” Juliet assures him. “These monsters think we will just give up the fight, I don’t care if it’s with my dying breath I will do as much damage as I can.”“Why do you hate them so much?” Juliet asks him.“They took over, and kicked us out of our homes. I was 4 and shuffled away. My father told us to just do as we were told a
“Congratulations!” Catherine squeals as she bring Cary in. “So what are their names.”“Dodger, Olivia, and Charley,” Nova smiles proudly. “Wait those are not even close to what you told us,” Terry looks confused. “She is allowed to change her mind,” Catherine coos handing Cary to him without ceremony or even looking at her mate. “They are beautiful.”Catherine holds both girls and coos in their faces. “Hey Cary check your cousin and future best friend,” Terry tells Cary showing him Dodger. “May I come in?” Juliet asks from the door way. “Of course,” Nova smiles. “You look beat little mama,” Juliet tells her. “But look at these three.”“I know look a them,” Catherine turns so Juliet can see the girls. “Who is who?”Oliver looks at the girls and points to the one with long eye lashes, “Olivia. Charley has a bigger forehead.”“They are so beautiful. Now I want one,” Juliet pouts. “Oh so seeing what mixed babies look like makes you want one?” Oliver teases her. Juliet rolls her eye
“Hey Baby,” Juliet wakes up and runs her hand through Hank’s hair.“Hey,” Hank wakes up and smiles. “How are you feeling?”“Stronger. I think it must have worked,” Juliet smiles. “I knew Oliver’s blood would work,” Hank smiles back and kisses her lips. “I love you.”“I love you too,” Juliet tells him. The doctor comes and checks Juliet taking some blood. “Okay so I’ll run the blood, but we need to do another scan to be sure. I don’t want to get your hopes up yet. For some patients the process takes a couple of tries,” The doctor warns. “Don’t lose hope if we have to have a round two.”“Thank you,” Juliet smiles. “It’s going to be okay.” Hank exhales and nods at her. Soon they come a wheel Juliet away for her scan. Two hours later Hank and Juliet are giggling and sharing small kisses.“Alpha, Luna, there is only a little change. We will need to do another treatment,” The doctor tells them. “We can discharge you now and you can return in six weeks for the second round.”Juliet tri
“The way to the peace is the red door. You can’t open the red door, unless you are chosen. Those who are not chosen, go through the green door and meet the gods,” Zachary says to the doctors.“The formula only works on those who are chosen, otherwise they die,” Terry tells them.“You understand him?” Hank asks. Terry nods.“We need to make it lavender. Lavender is the key to the red door,” Zachary mixes to liquids together. “Not enough red, need more red.”“There is nothing red,” one of the doctors say.“The top of the red is best. Need 12 beats,” Zachary smiles at Terry.“Blood, you need blood?” Terry asks.“Twelve beats,” Zachary holds out a silver knife and his own hand.“You need 12 drops of blood?” Hank asks.“Beat, boom, boom, boom, boom,” Zachary tells them.“Heartbeats, he needs 12 heart beats of his own blood,” Terry tells them.“This would be so much easier if he wasn’t crazy,” Hank says.“Only he who has the vision to hear, can taste the future I can feel,” Zachary says as
“Okay guys, it’s 3am,” Terry looks at his watch. “We are well tipsy. Love you guys but I have a pregnant mate and a four month old at home.”“Yeah my Luna is carrying triplets. She is going to be pretty pissed when I get home,” Oliver laughs. “I’ll just give her some head and all is forgiven.”Hank laughs, “Is that all it takes to tame the beast?”Oliver flicks his tongue making Hank laugh and Terry look uneasy. “My sweet innocent sister,” Terry groans. “There is nothing innocent about her anymore,” Oliver winks. Hank laughs as they all stand and head back home.When they get in the packhouse they are quiet thinking their Luna’s are already asleep. Safe bet since it is 4am. “What is that light and noise?” Terry asks pointing to the kitchen.“Most likely the Omegas getting breakfast started,” Hank answers. “I wonder if they have bacon ready yet?”“Worth a look,” Oliver suggests. They make their way in and find a scene they did not expect. Nova is standing on top of the counter, J
Once Temperance released her daughter, they all marched over to where Marissa is bound, kneeling in front of the fire burning the rogue bodies.“You lead all of them to their deaths,” Nova says, pulling Marissa’s hair back, forcing Marissa to look her in the eye. “You thought I was weak. I guess throwing you over a patio wall wasn’t lesson enough.”“How did you overcome so many? We send 90 after you,” Marissa lets tears fall as she stares at Nova.“You thought I was weak and that is why I never trained, You thought I was helpless without my Alpha family or mate. You thought I was the easy target. But, you see, you don’t know me. If you did know me, you would know I am not now, nor have I ever been, weak. Only underestimated,” Nova smiles slightly. “And you miscalculated.”“I loved him before you,” Marissa whines. “I loved him without a bond telling me to.”“You could have had the perfect life with Rhys. You could have been happy. But now you over played your hand. Oliver never loved y
“He is a handsome boy!” Hank smiles, seeing his nephew on the screen. “Looks very Reynolds.”“Nice try, this boy is all Timberman,” Terry smiles proudly.“That black hair gives it away,” Catherine smiles at her brother.“You have brown hair,” Hank teases back.“Yeah, but Uncle Seb, Terry, and Nova all have black hair, like my sweet little boy,” Catherine kisses the top of her son’s head. “I can’t think of a name. Got any ideas?”“I’m not giving you my top choices, they are mine,” Hank smiles.“Jules?” Catherine asks.“I’m gonna stand by my man on this one,” Juliet smiles. “He is really handsome.”“Handsome?” Catherine looks up at Terry.“Yeah, he is handsome,” Terry stares at his son.“No, 'Handsome' as his name,” Catherine smiles.Terry squints at her. “Love of my life, my whole reason for being. No, that is not a good name.”Nova laughs.“I think he is so handsome there is only one name for him,” Oliver smiles. “Name him Oliver.”Everyone laughs.“What about Tom?” Terry asks.“Too p
“Every pack is on alert, she has been out there two weeks now,” Terry tells Catherine. “I want you to stay close to the Packhouse, please.”Catherine rolls her eyes, “I'm not in the condition to fight with you. But do you honestly think she will come here to hurt me?”“No, she is going after Nova,” Terry answers. “We all know she is going after Nova. But you are vulnerable. Nova would gladly lay her life down for you and our child.”Catherine considers and nods.“Sorry to interrupt,” Sebastian knocks on the office door. “I heard my daughter in law and grandchild need a bodyguard. I have come to volunteer. Cole is restless.”“Mom made you,” Terry rolls his eyes.“In a way. She is driving me crazy. Something is off and I need out of her way while she figures it out,” Sebastian smiles.“I thought you two figured things out together?” Catherine looks at him.Sebastian sits down. “Normally, yes. But whatever this is, its emotional, internal. She needs to figure this out herself. I am suppo
“Marissa, they are coming after you,” Kimberly tells her. “Lexington is trying to save you, but the other Alphas are voting soon. He won’t have a choice; our pack can’t fight everyone.”Marissa thinks, “Why aren’t they coming after you at all?”Kimberly swallows. “I am a Luna, out of respect, I am given some permissions.”“So, if I was a Luna, then they would leave me alone?” Marissa asks.“I don’t know. You actually poisoned the Luna of Reynolds. Hank is not so forgiving. He wants to punish you at Reynolds. Oliver is asking Justice get you first, but he might lose that battle,” Kimberly tells her, ringing her hands and shaking. “We need to prepare for you to be taken.”Marissa throws her head back laughing. “You give up so easily. Clearly you are not Luna material. At least I have a wolf. Isn’t a Luna’s first job to do what is in the best interest of the pack?”“Yes, that is why I am telling you; we need to prepare for you trial. We need to be ready with a defense,” Kimberly says. “W
Nova grabs Oliver’s arm to balance herself as he explains everything behind her closed office door.“So, I am not safe here,” Nova looks at him. “Oliver, you have to let me go home until this is over. I can defend myself, but I can’t train with these warriors. I can’t trust anyone. Until you get control of your pack, I need to leave.”“I will protect you. Running only shows the pack you are afraid. Don’t worry about your safety or the safety of Biczi Warriors. I will call Terry and explain everything. He can be on more solid watch. Nova, you are more important to me than my pack. I’ll let Terry come in here and kill them all before I let you be taken from me. Once the pack see what lies Marissa was spewing, they will find you are the Luna they asked for and one they can respect and love,” Oliver rambles off very quickly hoping to change her mind.Nova inhales deeply and takes his hand. “Okay, but I want you with me at all times now or I will be in this office with the door locked. I w
