“Thank you, Alpha Temperance,” Doug’s Mother hugs Temperance tightly.“He was someone I looked forward to seeing every morning,” Temperance tells her.“Protecting you was his greatest goal,” Doug’s Mother smiles.Temperance hands her the flag that had been draped over Doug’s coffin.The Biczi Pack flag is silver with glitter radiating from a black howling wolf with Biczi Pack under it. Temperance and Sebastian folded the flags in honor of the fallen. If it had not been such a sobering occasion, watching the two of them avoid touching each other would have been comical.Zachary stood guard of the chained Races, forcing them to watch the young wolves they killed honored, while their own son was burned just as they will be after their deaths. He watched as his children dressed in their Pack uniforms saluted the coffins and folded the flags expertly as they have been trained. Even in this time of sadness, they gave him reason to be proud of them.Temperance, Sebastian, Derk, Janice, and Z
“Tempe,” Alpha Jasper Justice smiles at her. He is 25 and has always supported her becoming Alpha.“Jasper,” Temperance shakes his hand. “How are Mora and the pups?”“Well and sending their love,” Jasper presents her with drawings from his young children and a gift bag. “Mora said you loved her cookies.”“Oh, I do,” Temperance smiles.“I heard Sebastian is your mate, how is that going?” Jasper asks with a smirk.Temperance smiles back at him and nods her head. They both laugh. Jasper’s Beta Lance joins them.“What’s the joke?” Lance asks.“Seb Timberman and Tempe Biczi as mates,” Jasper laughs.“Heard my name,” Sebastian joins them, standing next to Tempe, but not touching her.Both Jasper and Lance look between them before they both narrow their eyes.Temperance closes her eyes and breathes deep, “We are still working through things. We are early mates, not the full-on gross ones yet.”“Oh, yeah, totally,” Lance nods, still eyeing Sebastian with a furrowed brow.Cam- You two will nev
“I understand your pack does not allow humans within 100 miles of your pack borders. That prevision is still in place from before I was born,” Temperance tells him and he nods looking her in the eye, even if he is standing taller than her. Sebastian has taken a step off the wall not liking how close they are to each other. “I believe that clause excludes Reynolds Pack from this new proposal. No one here is too young to remember what your pack suffered. I ask you to remember to whom you speak.”Zachary and Janice can’t stop the pride they feel for their daughter rolling off of them.“Reynolds Pack agrees to the purposal,” Lucius sits down.Milo smirks at Temperance, earning an eye roll from Sebastian. Zachary watches Sebastian, expecting a growl in the least.“I see no issue, I reserve the right to beat the pathetic beast before handing them over,” Jasper smiles and wiggles his eyebrows at Temperance.“Alpha Jasper, we all know you are an artist,” Temperance smiles.The rest of the Alp
“Just come to my room now,” Temperance tells Sebastian.“You sure?” Sebastian asks with raise eyebrows.Tempe looks around and sees the eyes on her. “Yes, you and me, away from here.”Milo winks at Sebastian. “Remember you promised to make it quick.”Temperance pulls Sebastian away before they can start fighting.“Are you okay?” Sebastian asks her as they close the door.“I feel dirty and creeped out,” Temperance answers him.Sebastian pulls her close to him.“Go shower, I’ll go grab clothes and stuff from my room and be back before you get out,” Sebastian tells her.“Thanks Seb,” Temperance grabs her favorite PJ’s and heads to the bathroom.Sebastian checks the hall and grabs his phone.“Yeah,” Kent answers, unimpressed.“Save the BS, our girl doesn’t feel safe,” Sebastian tells him.“Does she need me to come up there?” Kent asks, ready to run.“No, we need you to make sure only Alpha and Luna come up to the Alpha Floor,” Sebastian tells him.“Please don’t tell me you want me to be l
As the morning sun rises, Temperance moves against Sebastian’s chest.“If we can sleep this good together, we are sleeping together every night, I don’t care,” Sebastian tells her.“Accept me and we can. I’ll even give you blow jobs every night,” Temperance offers.“And I’m hard,” Sebastian tells her.Temperance wiggles and sure enough, he is.“Want me to assist with that?” Temperance asks, kissing his lips.“There is another tight place I want to try too,” Sebastian tells her, holding her close as they kiss.“I’m not ready for that,” Temperance tells him.“That’s okay, I can wait, just letting you know I’m ready for all the levels,” Sebastian admits. “You set the pace.”“I’m in charge?” Temperance asks, raising her eyebrows.“In the bedroom, sure you are in charge. In the boardroom, I would like to take the lead,” Sebastian tells her.“Can we share? Work together?” Temperance asks, continuing to kiss down his body.“Can I have the title?” Sebastian asks, stopping her from going any l
“Oh Sebastian, you feel so good,” an Omega is riding his face, while another is riding his dick. “Yes, my Alpha, oh my Alpha.”Sebastian moves the one off his face so he can shut the one riding his dick up.He changes positions so he is on top.“Ride her face. That way she will shut up,” Sebastian tells the other.Once she is in place, he starts kissing her neck as he pounds the other.Finally, he finishes in the condom, but still pulls out. He cleans up and makes sure the condom is flushed.“I have to get back to the packhouse. No one finds out about this,” Sebastian reminds them as he starts walking.Cole- Finding it harder to enjoy them.Sebastian- Tempe has barely looked at me in 6 months. All she does is train and study. Even in the mornings I get nothing.Sebastian pulls out his phone and calls her.“What?” she answers.“I need you to un-scent me,” he tells her.“Did you at least wash your face this time? I swear, if I taste another shank on you, I’m going to start banishing you
Cole- You idiot!Sebastian- I was having sex, you can’t hold me accountable for things I say during sex.Cole- Yes, I can. Especially, if it effects our mate.Sebastian- I will make it right with Temperance, I have been in more trouble than this.Cole- Your little fuck buddy published a picture and then hit her. You realize Susan will likely die because of this.Sebastian- Good.Cole- And then no one will sleep with you in fear of Temperance ordering their deaths too.Sebastian- FUCK!Cole- See if you had listened to me and kept the crazy away, this would not have happened.Sebastian-I’ll tell Tempe if she kills Susan, I will use it to paint her as a bad Alpha and insist we re-instate the rejection plan.Cole- So I should resign myself to the pain of rejection.Sebastian- She might see it my way.Cole- WHY, sweet goddess, do I get the stupid teenage boys? For once, please, in my next life, give me a guy worth being a wolf for!“Sebastian Timberman!” Janice greets him at the door with
Cole- Sorry, I couldn’t let you two go through with this.Sebastian- I owe you one if this works.Cole- Don’t forget that man.Cam- Cole is really sorry, but he wants us.Temperance- I thought we agreed on Milo.Cam- No, you agreed and refused to listen to anything I had to say.Temperance pushes her away as they enter the Alpha office.“Want to tell me why Cole is under the impression that the two of you were about to formally reject each other?” Zachary demand.“I don’t trust him,” Temperance answers simply.“What does Cam say?” Janice asks.Temperance doesn’t answer.“Cole is sorry Tempe,” Sebastian tells her.“We need to continue the ceremony so that we can have a clean break, and both get second chances,” Temperance ignores Sebastian.“If you do this, I will not let you be Alpha,” Zachary tells her. “Sebastian will be named my sole heir.”“Then, I will challenge him,” Temperance says matter of factly. “Either way, I become Alpha without Sebastian.”“You admitted that you allowed
“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
