Gideon
"Ulv, did we do something? Why does she want to talk?" I think back to before I left, I know we had a disagreement, but we resolved it.
"No idea. Run! Mate is scary!" I can feel Ulv panic at the words. 'we need to talk' never ends well for the man who hears those words. I think fast.
"Am, baby, lest go to sleep. I just want to hold you while I sleep." That's great. I'll be the loving mate. Will she drop it?
"Gideon, we really need to talk. It's important." Amelie's words cut me. I'm doomed.
I have no choice but to give in to my fate and hope I survive what comes next. "What do you want to talk about?"
"It's about the girls." Amelie looks down at her hands in her lap. I'm panicking.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I'm about to jump out of bed and go to their room and check on them when Amelie grabs my arm, pulling me back.
"Gideon, I think the girls are special. Do you know what I'm talkin

Chapter 73Amelie"Ding, Ding, Ding,""Oh, my oven timer!" I snap my head out of my thoughts, turn off my timer, and pull out the spice cake cupcakes from the top oven. I'm in the middle of stress baking. I've been at it for hours. It's challenging to garden right now with my belly; bending over that much kills me. I didn't feel like working in my shop at the moment, and I really wanted some oatmeal raisin cookies, so I went to stress baking. I didn't stop with just oatmeal cookies. I've made snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, blondies, pecan pie, peach cobbler, now spice cake with a vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. I'm going to get some cinnamon rolls going next. I can let them sit overnight, and we can have a family breakfast with cinnamon rolls tomorrow.

He grabs my wrist as I try and walk away."Why the hell would I want to talk to her at all? Let go." I try shaking his hand from my wrist, but he pulls me into him. It's not possessive or angry. It's pleading. He needs my help. I can feel the pull I try to fight."She's in a cell. She knows she's not getting out, but she's also not talking. I want to get something anything, and I know she is our best shot at finding at least one location of the kidnapped wolves." He wraps his arms around me. I know I'm going to give in but not without making him work for it."Again, why do you want me there?" I cross my arms, forcing space between us. He better give me a good reason."Because seeing you will make her more emotional, and she's more likely to slip

Chapter 75Gideon"William Carson, please step forward," Tyson announces. He's the last pup of the day."William Carson, do you accept the Druit Guard as your pack and promise to uphold your duties as a pack member?" I look down at the young boy who stares back up at me, tall and straight with pride in his eyes."Yes, Alpha, I do!" He yells as if he was answering a drill sergeant."Do you submit to me Gideon Alois as your Alpha and vow to follow my orders""Yes, Alpha, I do!" Again, yelling so the whole pack can hear."I Gideon Alois accept you into the Druit Guard Pack. Step forward, William." I reach out for his hand he gives it to me. I extend a claw and prick the tip of his thumb, he doesn't flinch, but I see his eyes are glassy. Every pup who wants to be a warrior one day does the same they hold back the tears and act tough. I always find it funny. I prick my thumb, and I press our thumbs together. I feel him added to the pack, a

Chapter 76Amelie"I love you. Enjoy the run, don't overdo it, and wear out the new pups." I give Gideon a wink. He seems off, a little distant, not cold or dismissive, but like something is on his mind lately, and he doesn't want to share.He smiles back. "I have to see what they are made of, don't I." It all feels forced, and he rushes away to shift. I'll have to get him to spill it later. For now, I needed to focus on finishing up prep for our pack celebration.Tonight we are doing a big outdoor party in what is usually the training field. We don't have much today since the Packhouse staff has taken care of everything. I'll have to give Becky a bonus. She's doing an excellent job of managing the staff. I'm so glad she was mated to Benjamin.It's extra special because the non-affiliated wolves all decided to join our pack. This is their first-pack event. Bailey is slowly transitioning into her role as a Delta-Female, and I couldn't

Chapter 77 Gideon I hustle back to our room. I didn’t bother grabbing any clothes from the trees; I was too pissed and might shift any second again. I didn’t care who saw me naked. I’m the Alpha. What are they going to say? I kick open the bedroom door and find Amelie sitting on the bed, rubbing her baby belly as she jumps up when I enter. “What the hell, Gideon!” She walks over and slaps my arm, and it stings. Not this again. “The boy will be fine. I already checked with the doctor through mind-link.” She slaps me again in the same spot. “What is going on? How did that trap get on our territory?” She’s unconsciously pushing out her aura. She is the Luna Mother, and no one messes with mama wolf. It was sexy, but I needed to focus. “Tate.” Her eyes gape open, and her mouth drops. Then she slaps my arm again, in the same spot. Damn, that hurts. “How do you know it was him?” She steps back and sits back on the bed. Her anger has b

I’m almost done.” Sam has had me in this chair for the last hour.“Sam, I have to pee.” I point to my baby bulge. “Pregnant and all, you know?” I’m glad Celest brought her glam squad for the banquet and ball, but I’m already so exhausted, and I’ve only gotten my hair and makeup done.“Almost done, Luna.” With the last few flicks of her wrist, she stands back. “OK, go. I’ll help you in to your dress when you are done.”I get up and go to the bathroom, and as soon as I’m out, Sam is waiting with my dress. Celest has already got hers on and is putting on her accessories. I groan, looking at the dress. I would be delighted to go in this fluffy bathrobe.“I know you would rather nap, but we have a role to play tonight, and we need you.” Celest coos as she finishes putting the back of her ea

Chapter 79Gideon"Report!" I mind-link to my team buzzing around the banquet hall."Alpha, I heard Alpha Kentwood talking about taking another Alpha to his ranch in Lily, South Dakota." It's the first real lead. What's even more interesting is the Kentwood Pack is located in Missouri, and Lily, South Dakota, is a one-stoplight town of farmers and ranchers."Did anyone get anything else?" I pick up a glass of champagne to hide the fact I'm getting an intel report."I heard an Alpha talking about.""Mates in trouble!" Ulv screams in my head, interrupting the intel report. I run for the door, and John is hot on my heels."Something happened to Celeste." I nod. No other explanation is needed. We both feel it."Tyson, Marcus, Benjamin Amelie is in trouble. Follow me! Shay, Jordan, and Becky stay here and get the intel, and watch our special guest." they are all quickly behind me. I follow Amelie's scent. I follow it t

Chapter 80AmelieWhat is going on? This feels like a nightmare. I'm not asleep. I know that by the silver around my wrist, it burns. I can't reach Inari, but I feel her guarding the babies. We've been exposed to silver too many times now. I guess it makes me lose contact with her now. She's in pain but hanging on. I have to get us out of here but where is here?How did I get in this SUV? My mind is clearing, and I look around. We are speeding down a dark stretch of highway. I'm in the backseat. I look at the driver in the rearview. All I see is a scar on his face, and it hits me. Tate's Kidnapped me. I feel myself slipping back into a panic attack. I have to try and pull myself out of it. I know I'm about to have a panic attack I have to stay focused. I close my eyes and focus on my breathing. I have to keep calm. This is not just my life now. It's the boys' lives as well. I have to protect my babies. I tug at the rope tied around my wrist j

Chapter 90 Gideon "Alright, gentlemen, what's today's topic?" I take a seat on the sofa next to James, John, and Harlow. Flynn, Logan, and Rylie are sitting across from us on the other couch. "The raid and the New Moon Alliance issue has found its way overseas to the International Councils. They are calling a review of the incident. So, in other words, we all have to go on a trip." John sighs. This was to be expected, but it's still a pain. "So where are we being dragged to this time?" Logan grunts. Now that he is part of the Alpha Council and played a significant role in the raid, he was required to attend. Logan didn't like traveling more than a few hours from his pack, so this was a major annoyance. "South Korea." "What!?" Logan stood up in protest. "Hell No! I'm not going!" "Alpha Logan, you know very well you don't have a choice. You and your heir are required to attend as we all are." Flynn l

Chapter 89 Amelie "Oh no, no no no! Got you!" I lift Aspen in the air, and the sound of his giggles is the world's sweetest music. "Where do you think you're going, mister!" Birch squeals as I pick him up in my other arm. Escaping mom is our favorite game these days. I can't believe they turned one today. My little trees are growing so fast, and of course, since they are always around older kids, they have developed very quickly and have already started walking. "Daisy, Rose, girls, can you help me with your brothers for a second?" I pop my head out of my bedroom door, looking for signs of my daughters. They come tumbling out of their bedroom door. "Yes, mommy, we can help." Rose eagerly bounces past me into my bedroom. Daisy twirling behind. I set the boys down on the floor with their toys. "Thank you, girls. Once mommy is ready, she will help you get ready for the party. Are you excited to see your grandparents?" "We w

Chapter 88 Gideon I must hurry. I'm whipping through the mountains running the best direct route I can. My lungs burn my paws feel like they will split and bleed at any moment, but stopping is not an option. I don't know what happened, but Daisy was hurt, and Amelie is in a lot of pain. I'm still too far to bond-link her, but I feel her. I feel a sharp rock split my paw; I keep going. "Ulv, we need to dig deep. How do we use our fae and elf magic?" "Not sure, never tried." Ulv is as determined as I am. Nothing is stopping us. Ulv is in control, so I concentrate and search for a trigger to our magic. We needed the boost desperately. I first searched by exploring the bonds that will help me find our core and where Ulv and I are connected. When Ulv is in control, I usually don't fully let go. The only other time was during Amelie's heat, and then I focused on her and our spiritual connection. I start with my mate bond. It's like a

Chapter 87 Amelie No! Somethings wrong! My chest feels tight. It's Daisy. What's wrong. My body moves before my thoughts can catch up. I have to get to the great room now. The pack-link was alerted too. I move as fast as I can. I feel someone coming up from behind me. I turn my head and see Shay and Jordan closing the gap on me. Becky and Bailey are following close behind. "You feel it too?" I don't stop; I keep running. "Easten is terrified." It sounds like his mother is too. "I've never felt this much rage and fear from Ryan." Jordan's tone is anxious. "We just saw everyone leave and felt we should follow. What's going on?" Becky is already panting. "I don't know, but it's the kids." I keep looking forward; I must keep moving forward. We are greeted with a paralyzing scene. I see wolves I've never seen before. They have all the Omegas and pups corralled in the corner. They have silver weapons, and the O

Chapter 86 Gideon "Let her go, you coward." Beta Newman snarls through gritted teeth. Lacy is strangely calm as the bright silver blade is positioned at her ebony neck. It's as if Nox is holding the still night hostage, but by the look in Lacy's eyes, the night was about to strike back. "Nox, why are you doing this? I am your mate. You love me." Lacy's tone didn't match her face. I could tell she was buying time. I didn't know why. I could only play along and trust father and daughter. "Oh, Lacy dear. I've never loved you. You were just a means to an end. Although you are a tempting means." Nox takes a deep inhale of Lacy's scent. This must have been what she was waiting for. Lacy digs her claws in Nox's side. He drops his arm holding the knife, and she rushes to her father's arms. "You bitch! You will pay for that! Don't think I will treat you as nicely as before." Nox is holding his side but now has the silver blade pointed at me. He must be

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I hate being the center of anything, but now was not the time to falter. "OK. Let's get everyone connected." With a few keystrokes, the wall of monitors lights up. "Hello, everyone. Our warriors need our eyes, ears, and prayers. Our central team will be watching the action, but we will need your help as well. Thank you all for joining virtually this evening. Let the Goddess be on our side." I have three monitors on the desk in front of me connected to Gideon, dad, James, Riley, and Logan. We spread out all the ranked members joining the raid, so Marcus went with my dad and James. At the same time, Tyson and Uncle Lucas went to one of the separate off-pack faculties together. Some of the Luna's and ranked females are also joining the raid

Chapter 84Amelie"I'm doing the best I can to wrap my brain around all of this, but to be honest, it's overwhelming. Why are we and our children so important to the goddess? Why did Ulv and Inari get reincarnated? Why does the world need Truth Seers and Guardians? We haven't even addressed the royal elf blood or how I'm now part fae! How did you become the goddess' messenger? And why is this tea so good?" Gideon's fist slams down on the table, and he's staring at the mug of tea with complete befuddlement."hehehe." I can't help all those questions, and he ends asking about the tea. I feel like my head is going to explode with all this information. It's like we are a big science experiment, just lab rats. As my thoughts darkened, my giggling stopped."Don't doubt the goddess you are precious. Our children are precious." Inari coos to me. I don't answer; I don't need to. I know she's right, but it doesn't make it feel any better."I do

Chapter 83Gideon"Hello, my boy. Come hug your grandmother." She's so familiar to me for some reason. I have this sense of comfort, almost motherly. She's beautiful but more in a celestial or angelic way. Her hair is white but has an iridescent quality to it. She feels ancient but barely looks 40. Her eyes are the same as mine, deep green, and I look at them every day in the mirror and in the girls. I feel a push from behind.I look back, and Amelie pushes me forward and waves her hand for me to go to this woman. I shake my head 'no,' and she pushes me again. I feel drawn to her, but I'm hesitant to give in to that urge."Daddy, come give grandma a hug!" Daisy grabs one of my hands and Rose the other, and they pull me toward the mysterious woman. I could resist them easily, but I don't. I'm standing in front of her. She has her arms outstretched, and she pulls me into a hug. It's the most soothing feeling I've felt since before my mot

I just want this whole mess to be done with. I'm anxious for the end." He gives me a sympathetic smile, "Me too." "Alpha, Luna, everyone is signed in. Are you ready to begin?" Marcus readies his laptop. Gideon gives him a nod, and the wall of monitors in front of us lights up. He quickly takes his place behind us next to Jordan and our ranked pack members. Gideon adjusts the microphone sitting on his desk in front of him. "Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining this virtual meeting. As many of you know, we are up agisting a threat from our own kind. They have been working in the shadows gaining bits of power here and there, pulling Alphas to their side. Their worst offenses are kidnapping, murder, and extortion. They have been lurking i
