“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
“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
Third Person POV“Zachary,” Nova calls her mate and Alpha before he loses what is left of his temper.“Yes, my Luna is correct. Without a calm head, we will all dissolve into chaos,” Alpha Zachary Biczi stands at the head of the table.Down the right side, Alphas and Betas from the werewolf packs that now control all of Canada and most of of what used to be the United States. Down the left side, delegates and leaders of the remaining Humans, currently holding on in the former state of Florida and it’s Keys.“If the Humans would simply accept us as the superior beings, we could allow them to live among us,” Alpha Justice states.“You are an invading force, why should we submit to you?” President Choctran asks. “We still have control of weapons we can use.”“We disabled your nuclear weapons,” Alpha Zachary informs the humans. “There was never a good reason to create such things.”“Well, the other countries will come to our aide,” President Choctran slams his fist into the table.“The re
Two Years after the Attack.“Zach, don’t stop,” Janice pants as Zachary pumps into her, against the door of his office.“Jan, fuck, you feel so good,” Zachary captures her lips as they both climax.They were supposed to be having a meeting, but the mate bond took over. They fought it as long as they could, but you can’t fight the mate bond.Once they are done kissing and holding each other, they sneak carefully to Zachary’s room to shower and change clothes.“At some point, we need to tell the pack and the kids that we are mates,” Janice tells him.“Ready to be Luna?” Zachary kisses her cheek.“I would be fine never having that title,” Janice tells him.“We have only been sleeping together a month, how long should we be together before telling the kids?” Zachary asks her. His priority will always be Temperance and what is best for her.“We are mates, Zach,” Janice lets out a heavy sigh. “We fought it for two years. But the Elders are saying the Alpha needs a mate. They are going to br
Over the next two years, Temperance and Sebastian both train to be the best warriors they can be. They fight each other, Zachary, Janice, older pups and even a few new wolves. Tempe starts to see the gap between them closing.Temperance and Sebastian are now 12 years old; their education will be half general studies and half pack leadership.As Alpha and Beta, they are expected to master their leadership classes. Sebastian’s are for Betas. Learn support and security. Temperance’s are for Alphas and as soon as she gets her wolf, she will be off to other packs, learning from them as well.“Who knows about mates?” Shirley, the wife of Elder Abner, asks the newest group of year sevens.The kids raise their hands. “Good, so starting about 14, you will start to get your wolves. Future Alpha Temperance and Future Beta Sebastian will get theirs early, because they will have powerful wolves. Starting at 16, your wolves will let you know who your mate is. For those of you who discover your mate
The Day Temperance and Sebastian turn 13….“Happy Birthday, my teenager!” Janice smiles at Temperance.“I’m 13,” Temperance shrugs.Janice narrows her eyes and frowns. “Sweetheart, what is wrong?”“I’m feeling different,” Temperance tells her. “Like something is fighting inside of me.”“ZACH!” Janice yells. “Tempe, honey, don’t fight it.”Janice starts leading Temperance outside.“What is happening?” Zachary asks, running after his mate and his daughter.“She is fighting inside, her shift!” Janice is excited.“What is with the yelling?” Sebastian asks.“Tempe is about to shift,” Janice says excitedly. She stops as they all get outside and turns to Sebastian. “Sorry, Happy Birthday, my teenager!”Janice hugs her son tightly.“Thanks, Mom. What is happening to Tempe?” Sebastian looks over at Temperance.She is sweating and breathing in heaves.“Tempe, you have to let it happen,” Janice coaches her, leaving Sebastian behind her. “Don’t fight it.”CAM- Hey, Temperance, it’s me, your wolf.
“Alpha Temperance?” Jasper Justice meets her car at the front of his pack house.“Yes,” Temperance shakes his hand.“Welcome to Justice Pack. My wife and Luna, Mora,” Jasper introduces the lovely woman behind him.“We are going to be friends,” Mora smiles at her.While Temperance is learning, building an Alliance, Sebastian is getting a different kind of training.“Seb, you are a handsome boy, just like your dad. I think you should be exploring your abilities with females,” Abner tells him.“I’m 13, what females are going to be interested in me?” Sebastian asks.Cole- I don’t like this guy.“Oh, come now, you should have a girlfriend. Kimberley Anderson seems very interested in you,” Abner tell him.“Kim is like Temperance’s best friend. She isn’t going to be interested in me,” Sebastian shakes his head.“Every girl will be interested once they know you are the next Alpha,” Abner tells him.“How am I the next Alpha? Temperance can still beat me,” Sebastian says.“But Temperance is not
“I'm so happy for you both!” Janice smiles at her children.“Congratulations,” Zachary also smiles.Temperance looks up at her mate with a small smile. But he doesn’t smile back. Instead, Sebastian looks at her with hard, cold eyes.“We need to talk,” Sebastian pulls Temperance away from the crowd.“Aren’t you happy?” Temperance asks. “We don't have to fight over Alpha now.”“You can’t be serious,” Sebastian spits at her. “You can’t honestly think that we should accept this.”“Seb, of course I do we are mates,” Temperance smiles.“Temperance, NO, I hate you,” Sebastian stares into her eyes. He sees he might hurt her, and his heart tightens.“But you held my hand when I shifted, you talk to me, you and I share stories, we joke, I thought,” Temperance is not breathing normally.Cam- Calm down, he can’t reject us for two years.Temperance- It will break me. I can’t be a strong Alpha without by fated mate.Cam- Then, let the asshole reject us so we can get a second chance.Temperance- I h

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 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
