{ Alex }
Since Raine left earlier I’ve been on the phone non stop. I organized the war room based on our new information and sat there trying to rack my brain for insight into this growing threat. It had been weeks, and we were still no closer to answering question of why they were doing this. Jason in Haven Moon had several captured now and they still hadn’t gotten much out of them. Despite the attacks that we’ve had everywhere, on nearly every continent, it seems that the main forces are in Europe and America now. Jason has a theory that they are focusing more on these areas from now on and that the smaller attacks are over. I agree, but that means that my pack is on the top of that hit list and we are running out of time before we get attacked.
My phone rings on the table next to me, bringing me back to reality.
“Yes?” I growl into the phone, my frustration ripping through me.

{ Raine }I held Alex’s hand tighter than was probably necessary as we waited for Carmen to come in.“Baby, please, relax, it is just a sonogram,” he says soothingly.I sigh deeply. It had been two days since we built the housing. Alex and Nel had settled in the first group of Italy wolves and after a couple days of monitoring the new patrol schedule and system we were confident that we could move the rest of their pack here. Alex had called this morning and they would be coming the morning after tomorrow.None of this was stressing me out though. What was stressing me out was my baby. My stomach had grown in just two days. Were gestation was only 4 months, but I still felt like it was too fast. I also had this deep feeling from my wolf that there was something else about our baby. The frustrating part was that she couldn’t tell me what it was, so I only got her emotions and I
{ Raine }I waited as Anna took it all in and I couldn’t help but think about how much easier this conversation was than the ones I had with Nel and Alex since not only did I have my powers now and could demonstrate, but I also had the other three with me who could corroborate and also demonstrate. In fact, if anything, this was undeniable with the four of us here and Anna’s face held no doubt, only wonder.“So, your emotions effect your powers? Is that what just happened?” She asked me.“Yes, unfortunately, I am affected by sorrow or sadness,” I told her.Her eyebrows bunched together as she thought for a moment and then her eyes went wide, “But-but you’re Luna. You feel what the pack feels! You’ll feel every loss, not to mention Alex’s emotions, and your own…”“I really, really wish that was all I wa
{ Alex }I hauled this worthless piece of wolf by his collar. I was pulling his half conscious body behind mine, dragging it so that he bumped into every bump and tree possible increasing his pain once he finally regained consciousness. I felt a low growl leave my chest just from thinking about what he and his other two companions had done, but I also couldn’t help the betrayal I felt. My own pack member. I couldn’t dismiss the fact that he was just helping his mate. A better wolf would have brought his mate in, not the other way around. He had risked our safety, the safety of my family and my pack.I thought back to when I found him and the overwhelming strength that washed over me when I took off after the rogues once I received word from Raine of where they were. I hadn’t even questioned in the moment how she knew that, instead I just focused on getting them. The power in my veins still hadn’t subsided and I was ge
{ Raine }I woke up to a loud knock on the door and I couldn’t help the groan that left my lips as I buried my face in the pillow. The knock resonated again only louder this time. I almost called for them to come in until I realized that I Was naked under the covers so instead I rolled over and hollered, “Just a minute please.”“It’s alright darling, it just me,” I heard Elaine’s voice and I sighed, thankful it was her. I slipped on my robe and then walked over to let her in.“Hi darling,” she said as soon as I opened the door.“Hi Elaine,” I replied as she stepped into hug me.“I am so sorry to wake you up sweetie, I know how hard it must be to get rest with these two little alphas inside you,” she said with a smile as she placed her hand on my stomach.“Well, it wasn’t
{ Caroline } I took a deep breath in of my baby girl’s sweet scent to calm my nerves but it didn’t seem to be enough. I felt a hand on the small of my back that was rubbing circles to calm me down and I knew by the feeling it had to be my mate’s. I turned and I saw that he was talking to a few warriors from our pack. I felt a soft smile on my face before I could stop it, even when he was busy he could still sense my unease and helped to calm me down. I sighed deeply for the umpteenth time today as my eyes wandered off to the forest ahead of us. We had a decent journey ahead of us today, but we would be mostly making the trip as wolves so it wouldn’t last too long. We told the Spain pack that we would be there this evening but were leaving early. My mate seemed to be eager to reach Alexander’s pack while I was officially out of excuses to keep this from ever happening. This was my living nightmare, to go back there.
“Here mama,” the boy came back and this time he had a small bouquet of wildflowers that were orange and pink. “These ones are for brudder and sisser, pink for sissy and orange for brudder,”My veins were pumping with venom as I understood his words. I felt my mate’s hand on my back, no doubt sensing my emotions but even he couldn’t help as I watched the women take the flowers from the boy, kiss him on the forehead and then look to her belly. Alexander’s hand was now underneath it, showing off the bump that I couldn’t believe I missed seeing at first.“Ah, there is Navarro and his Luna. Oh their little man is here too! Perfect,” my mate said as he followed my gaze to the garden.“I don’t remember you mentioning that he had a Luna,” I said, trying my hardest to sound innocent but the look on his face said he was confused why I asked. “I wou
She allowed me to lead her into the pack house and we found our boy in the living room playing with the scrabble tiles on the board someone had left on the coffee table.“Look look!” he yelled and we walked over to see the board. On the board were scattered tiles and then some of them were organized to spell out a sentence‘“How did you do that?” Raine asked as she bent down to his level on the other side of the table.“Abuela showed me. Do you like it mama?” he asked with anticipation.“I love it baby, I really love it, you are so smart!” she said as he ran around the table and threw himself into her arms. The scrabble tiles spelled out ‘I love mama dada’.“Do you like it Daddy?” he asked turning to me.“I love it buddy, you did a great job. Are you ready for Mac n cheese?&rd
“How were the King and Queen chosen?” Anna asks.“By fate,” Tell said.“You knew about this?” I asked Raine, because honestly this was the most shocking part, that she hadn’t told me.“He told me his theory on the last attack, when you went after the rogues at the border, but I decided not to tell you. I confronted you about the new power that you had been keeping to yourself, but I still wasn’t completely convinced that it was what Gust thought it was. I still held my own doubts about what we were.” she told me.“And now?” I asked her.“Now we have nearly 700 less wolves in the world. Now, I can not only feel, but I can quantify and command other packs. Now, I have zero grounds to stand on when I try to deny what we are. Alex, I want you to do something for me. Try mind linking Garcia”&nb
