Troy’s POVTroy’s days were filled with meetings, checking border security and running the perimeter with the warriors. He ate in his office and at night he’d stand at their bedroom door and watch Reese for a few minutes as she slept.He’d already heard the first rumours. Omegas talked and people knew he was sleeping in the guest room. He’d have to squash it and soon. He couldn’t have people whispering about their Alpha and Luna. Amber had already started that shit and the consequences had been dire.Katherine hadn’t heard from her yet and Troy had to wonder if she hadn’t left the country, knowing that the plan was insanely stupid. More reports were coming in from other packs with sick wolves and the total number of deaths had risen to ninety-four from across the world.It didn’t seem like much considering there were a few million wolves in the world, but any loss was considered big in their world. Having something like that on your doorstep and not knowing what to do about it, was st

Reese’s POVShe was still on their bed, naked, shivering and feeling sated. Troy was sitting on the edge of the bed, his head lowered into his hands. It was the first time they’d been alone in almost a week and Reese wasn’t sure what to say to him.“What the fuck were you thinking?” Troy asked her.“You weren’t complaining when you were sticking your cock down my throat,” Reese said and sat up on the bed.“If you need to be fucked, send me a text and I’ll oblige,” Troy said.“Fuck you!” Reese yelled and pushed him off the bed. “So you can jerk off in the shower but I can’t do the same, you fucking hypocrite?”Troy had managed to regain his balance and he looked at the anger swirling in Reese’s eyes. He was being a hypocrite and she clearly had no idea how strongly he’d reacted to her masturbation session.Troy took a deep breath and counted backwards from ten. “My wolf marked you, Reese. That means the bond flows stronger into me. You made me fucking cum in my pants … in front of Drak

Troy’s POV“Drake?” Troy questioned as he stood in his towel in front of Drake.“Warriors spotted a group of rogues near the border.”“Shit,” Troy said. “I’ll be there in five.”Troy hurriedly pulled on sweatpants and walked out of the Alpha Suite with Drake. On the patio, he shifted and immediately caught the scent of rogues as Drake undressed and shifted to join him. His paws thundered underfoot as he ran through the forest towards the border.Two trackers and four warriors stood near the border line, already shifted into their wolf forms. They bowed their heads as Troy walked up to them.“Report,” Troy said through their mindlink.“A pack of five rogues, Alpha, they ran the moment they saw us,” one warrior said.“Let’s go,” Troy said and started running.The four warriors, two trackers and Drake followed behind Troy as he picked up their scent and raced ahead. Troy ran faster, aware that the rest of them couldn’t keep up with him, Drake was the closest as he dashed through the rive

Reese’s POVReese went with Drake and the Red Moon pack to the Beta House. She mindlinked Russo to find out where he was. The Beta House was surprisingly clean and five minutes after they walked into the house, warriors and Omegas arrived with food, clothes and toiletries.They stocked the house as Drake showed them around and Reese wondered again why he wasn’t living in the beautiful house. It was fit for an Alpha and the Red Moon Pack members were astonished at Troy’s generosity.“We still celebrate the Luna Blue Moon feast and ours is tomorrow night. Alpha Troy has extended his invitation to your pack to feast with ours,” Drake said.“We’d be honoured to attend. We also used to celebrate the Luna Blue Moon feast,” Rico said with a sad smile.The front door slammed open and Russo strode inside as they all looked down from the second floor landing.“I’m fucking sorry, Reese! Can’t believe I overslept! Oh, we have company …” Russo stopped walking and his eyes darkened.“Russo …” Reese

Russo’s POVThe sun and the sand had ways of beating down on a man. The dunes shimmered in the oppressive heat. Russo lay on a rocky outcrop and he could taste the sand in his mouth. The dunes were far behind them now and the sun would only set in three more hours.They had located a rogue group of wolves that had entered one of their camps and gotten their hands on weapons that even they weren’t supposed to have. They had to destroy the weapons along with the rogue group before questions that nobody had the answers to were asked.Sweat trickled down his back, down his forehead and into his eyes, but he never moved his hand to wipe it away. He had to keep his focus on the building a few hundred yards in front of them. His men were on a lower level, getting some much needed shut eye and Russo kept watch.He loved the army, loved the routine and the discipline and the missions they went on saved actual lives. He missed pack life too but the army felt like home. There were too many memor

Troy’s POVTroy stayed with Russo until the sun rose before he left his friend. He had a lot on his plate and work waited for no Alpha. Upstairs in his apartment, he showered and dressed in a suit. His gaze lingered on Reese as she slept and he sighed.Troy headed back downstairs to his office and sighed when he opened the door and found Max sitting on the sofa. He looked worried and Troy was instantly on full alert. The steam was still rising from the cups of coffee as Troy sat down.“You look like shit,” Troy said.“What do you know about the rogues you found yesterday?”Troy shifted in his seat and looked intently at Max. “He claims to be the deposed Alpha of the Red Moon Pack and the last survivors. Russo confirmed it, he knew the former Gamma of that pack.”“Are you sure they’re the last of Red Moon?” Max asked him.Troy had never seen Max look so conflicted and he had to wonder what the hell this was all about. Max was always clear-headed, firm in his decisions and he never ques

Troy’s POVAfter Rico left his office he knew Max would question about this domination fight, Russo’s involvement in Dustin’s death and his imprinting. Troy could feel the headache pulsing at his temples and he was over tired and the day was far from done.“Dustin disobeyed orders and Russo didn’t know he’d gone off on his own. The rogue group caught him while Russo retrieved the stolen weapons. They wanted the weapons in exchange for Dustin. They had snipers on his other team members. Russo chose his team and they shot Dustin,” Troy said.“And the imprinting?”“She’s Dustin’s sister. The commanding officer of their squadron told them that Russo left Dustin to die, he didn’t tell them anything else,” Troy answered him.“I respect any decision you make here, Troy. This is your pack and you’ve always done what’s best for them. I’ll support your decision about the domination fight. We don’t need any bloodshed, not right now,” Max said.“I went to go see Russo this morning. His eyes had t

Reese’s POVExcitement thrummed in her veins as she dodged through trees and over fallen stumps. Her wolf let out a howl and sped up some more. She felt Troy’s shift and then her wolf’s determination not to get caught too soon.Reese took her normal jogging route and her paws thundered underfoot. She cut through a part of the lake and swam back towards the other side. Troy would find her scent at the water and then assume she’d taken the route to the other side of the territory.She smiled to herself as she backtracked away from where she’d originally intended to go. It would be too easy and she knew what was at stake. The pack needed to know that they had a strong Luna, Troy needed to know that as well.She emerged from the lake well away from the packhouse and shook the water from her fur. She crept forward and went down to her stomach in the undergrowth and listened. The forest around her was quiet and she snuck out of her hiding place and kept running.She had no idea how much tim
