SAMANTHA POV

I check Angelica's breathing one more time as worry plagues me. I don't fully trust this baby carrier. But I like using it. It makes life easier when I am by myself. And I am by myself a lot here lately, it seems.

I sigh as I focus back on loading the dishwasher. I miss my friends and my mate, but I understand they are busy. The hay is ready to be baled, so the guys are in the field for long periods of time. Lauren is about ready to pop, so David took her on one last trip to visit his parents. Even Daniel and Stanley are up to their eyeballs in work. Splitting time between the field and the law office in order to search for my long-lost Aunt has kept Dan out until after seven every night.

"Angelica, it's just you and me, baby," I say as she sucks peacefully on her pacifier.

I smile at how sweet and innocent she looks squished against my chest. My little Angel...

"Not exactly," a deep voice says from behind me, and I spin around.

    SAMANTHA POV My head hurts. Why does my head hurt? "Ugh," I groan as I try to reach for my aching head. But I can't move my hands. They are stuck in front of me. Not stuck, more like pinned. I groan again as I force my eyes open. My eyelids struggle to stay open the first few times I try due to the bright light a few feet away from me, but when they finally do stay open, I gasp. I immediately realize as soon as my eyes can focus that I am no longer home. I am in some kind of hotel room. And it's not just me in the room. Adam is here...holding Angelica, and on a bed in front of me is a very naked and bloody-looking Kelly. "Adam," I whisper, and he looks up from our happy daughter to smile at me. "Sam, you finally woke back up. I was worried about you, baby. I thought I went overboard on the knocking out process," Adam says, turning to lay Angelica down on the empty hotel bed next to him. "Knocking out process," I whisper, and Adam grins. "Well yeah...I could te

    SAMANTHA POV The ropes break away from my arms and legs as I lunge across the room. Something tells me I am moving on four legs instead of two, but I ignore the thought. The only thing that matters is saving my daughter. Adam spins around to face the new me when he hears the wood splinter and screams as I open my jaw. I sink my teeth into his shoulder, knocking him into the bed that Angelica is lying on. We fall to the floor, and I sink my claws into his body. I tear at him as he continues to scream. He starts to thrash and hit me all over, but the hits feel weak. No real pain comes from his frantic fighting, and the thought makes me feel powerful. "What the fuck," Adam screams as he pokes a finger in my eye, briefly halting my attack. I snarl and claw at his hand. He screams again as my claws cut into his flesh. Angelica begins to cry from right above us, and my concentration breaks. I glance towards my child for a second to make sure she is okay, and a loud bang rings out

    ADAM POV"Samantha," a man yells as my eyes close again. Pain is rippling from every area of my body, and the weight of the animal on top of me is crushing. I have no idea what happened to my wife since she has been here, but turning into an animal. I must be going crazy. If I weren't in so much pain, I would think this was a weird dream."Finley, get Angelica home! Boyd call Hurst. Lewis, get the other female," the man's voice barks from right above me. He lifts Samantha's new monstrous form off of me, and I catch a peek of the man who stole my family. He is muscular and lean I will give him that...and well endowed, which I can see because he is naked. As are all the men he has been ordering around.He seems panicked as he picks her up, but not surprised by her new body. He is only panicked over her injuries, which is strange. Why hasn't anyone commented on the fact that my wife is a cougar?"We need to get out of here now. The humans most likely called the cops before the shots

    SAMANTHA POV "It's okay, right. I mean, she has been asleep for three days now. I'm worried there is an issue," Daniel says, sounding as if he is underwater. "Her heart rate is perfect, as are her other vitals. I had her on some strong pain medication, so she's probably sleeping that off. Her wounds have healed, Daniel. Stop stressing. Just focus on Angelica. Samantha will be awake before you know it," someone who sounds like Dr. Hurst says, and my mind groggily recalls the hotel with Adam. Panic sets in, and I force my eyes open as I recall Angelica crying in that awful hotel room. I remember Kelly's bruised and battered body on the bed. I remember the gunshots... "Wait...wait," I croak out as best as I can. I look over to where I heard the voices. I see Dr. Hurst smile before beginning to pick up things that are scattered on our kitchenette counter. I breathe in to speak again, and an intoxicating wave of pine and hay hits my nose. All train of thought leaves my mi

    BENJI POV Mariah hisses, and Luna's eyes become bright green as her cougar emerges. My inner wolf immediately cowers. "Benji has been asking you if you wanted to be his mate, and you have been beating around the bush! Spill the beans right now, Mariah or my pack will be forced to gain the information in other ways," Alpha growls, and Luna's muscles strain. She is fighting against her animal better than most. Most freshly shifted shifters have problems holding back their inner animal when it's pissed. But Luna is handling it like a professional. Mariah looks at me briefly, and I see regret in her eyes. My heart begins to pound in my chest, and worry replaces all my protective feelings. I knew in my heart something wasn't right, but I was so happy to see her I pushed the feeling away. I should have guessed she hadn't changed her mind. "I'm on a job...we are cousins. That wasnt a lie. And my parents are dead...Look, my parents weren't good people. They were criminals...hired k

    DANIEL POV "So she has been scoping out our land looking for the opportunity to kill Luna since she got here. Benji caught her scent when Lewis and him left to handle the trail cameras, and she panicked. She ran from her mate and forced him to believe she didn't want him. Then she came back to finish the job, but when she got here, she had a change of heart," Lauren simplifies with sarcastic disbelief dripping from every word. "Basically," I mumble, and Sam sends me a "be nice" look. "I understand you...," Mariah starts to say, but Lauren growls. "You don't understand anything! You have lived by yourself basically your whole life. You have no idea how important Sam is to our pack. Or how important Sam is to me. She is my best friend, and if you interrupt our deliberation again, I will have my mate decapitate you," Lauren snarls while holding her massive belly, and we all get surprised. Lauren is typically the forgiving type. "How can we be sure your assassin days ar

    SAMANTHA POV R RATED I smile as I lay Angelica down in her crib. I can't believe we are safe. I can't believe I shifted and attacked my ex-husband. I saved my daughter from a madman and awoke a whole new side of myself. I protected her from certain death, and I also saved Kelly's life. "So what exactly happened," I ask as I make my way to our bed. Daniel looks at me for a second before taking off his shirt. "When I got to the hotel, you had just been shot. Me and the others heard the pops," Dan says, and I nod. "Yeah, I know that part. I heard you yell my name. It was the reason I relaxed and let myself sleep," I whisper, and his eyes tighten with emotion. He nods and gulps before climbing into bed. I get in next to him and turn on my side. I place my hand on my cheek so I can rest on my elbow. I know this conversation will be hard for him, but we have to have it. "I left Adam laying there on the floor.

    DANIEL POV To say I was strutting around the house like a peacock would probably be an understatement. I have never had a bigger head in my entire life. Having Sam's mark on my neck makes me feel like a King. "You might trip if you don't look down every once in a while," Fin mumbles as he grabs a mug of coffee, and I laugh. "I will settle for falling flat on my face then," I reply, and he snorts. "What's the plan for today? Stanley told me you are having me and him handle the hay sale," Fin asks after a small sip of coffee, and I frown. The thought of traveling to Florida so we can help search for a deceased person isn't how I wanted to spend such a special day, but Andrew needs the help. He lost his son and his wife. We will have to celebrate our complete bond some other day. "We are going to Florida. I told Andrew we would help locate Margaret, and I plan to stick to that. Boyd is going with us. He is the best tracker, plus Benji has Mariah to take of now. I d

    SAMANTHA POV Oh God, what have I done? I scream the thought to myself as I follow Daniel's scent trail into the old pine forest. It's been hours since he left. I tried to give him time to cool off and come back to me, but I think that was a bad idea. I need to find him. I never meant to hurt him or behave as if I am unhappy to be pregnant again. I'm just stressed. Angelica is amazing, but she is a lot of work. If we didn't have the pack's help, I have no idea how I would get everything done. And I don't even do that much. I also wasn't a massive fan of being pregnant the first time. Yes, it was a magical experience, but I disliked all the heightened dramatic emotions that made me not act like myself. Plus, being that big is extremely uncomfortable. You can't sleep or even walk without experiencing growing pains. I hit an area in the forest that is denser than the others, and I decide to shift. He should be close enough to hear me yell. "DANIEL," I yell out with m

    DANIEL POV "No, Boyd and Mike went over to Andrew's. They are helping him move his larger furniture. The movers delivered his stuff before we arrived," I answer as I pat my favorite horse. I have missed the smells and sounds of home so much. It's so peaceful here compared to Florida. Florida is awful, to be honest. I have no idea why humans retire there. It smells of mold and dirty water. It's humid and loud. Plus, it's the home to alligators. I leave the stall and head for the tack room. I want to check on everything. Not because I don't trust my men, but because I have missed doing it. I have missed the routine and the scents of Wyoming. I have missed working away my stress. "That's nice. Is Andrew comfortable with that," Stanley asks as he follows me with his hands tucked in his pockets. "Yeah. He commente

    SAMANTHA POV It's been a week since Margaret Polk's body was found, and you would think we would be over it, but we aren't. The funeral is today, and I have no idea how I am going to hold myself together. All week the press has been harassing and torturing Andrew with in-depth questions that tear at my heart. They ask him what drove his son to murder. They ask him whether he abused his wife or son. They asked him if Adam and Margaret were having an incestuous affair. They ask him if Kelly O'Neal was a part of the relationship. You name it, they have asked it. When they tried to bring Angelica and me into it, he shuts them down. He denied them any further interviews and said if anyone went near us, he would sue. All in all, it's been an absolute nightmare. "Love, I believe Boyd is all set with all of Angelica's things, but I might be wrong. He has four bottles, two pacifiers, a change of clothes, and a crap ton of diapers... Is there anything else you can think of that he might

    BENJI POV Mariah leans in a little closer as Lauren continues to eye her suspiciously from across the table. My anger towards the pregnant female grows. The other members have all moved past the fact that she is here, but Lauren is refusing. She is purposefully making Mariah feel uncomfortable, and I am ready to tear her hormonal head off. The only people that needed to accept Mariah were Luna and me. Lauren needs to realize we have accepted Mariah as a pack member. My mark is on her flesh. "The Hay sold, so that's a relief. I spoke to a couple of companies about the foundation of our future home, but without a set blueprint, they can't move forward," Stanley says, and Finley nods while swallowing his bite of brisket. "I'm sure Luna will move forward with the house once she returns. Right now is a stressful time," Finley says, and the stiffness in Stanley's shoulders eases. His face creases with sympathetic emotions, and we all feel that familiar pinch of sadness for wh

    DANIEL POV "This seems promising. There is an off-road path to the water here," Boyd says, and I nod. "Roll down the window. See if you can smell anything," I urge, and he instantly follows the order. He closes his eyes and inhales the outside air as we slowly drive down the dirt/grass road. After about two seconds, his eyes snap back open. "She's here....and not just her normal smell. Her body is still here. This whole area smells like death," Boyd whispers, and I roll down my window. As soon as the first wave of air enters the car, I smell it. I smell death and decay emitting from somewhere nearby. I slowly stop the car. Boyd and I climb out in silence. The pit of my stomach is tight, and I almost feel nauseous thinking about seeing her. But we have to do this. We have to close the c

    DANIEL POV "Sam said he would have chosen a spot with water. He might have been crazy, but he wasn't an idiot," I say as I drop one of Margaret's shirts in the backseat. Boyd and I already familiarized ourselves with her smell, but bringing her scent along will help. "Did he have any special spots," Boyd asks as he rounds the car to the passenger side. I nod as I recall mine and Andrew's private conversation last night. "Yeah. Andrew said he loved to fish. He gave me a list of the most private spots. But the thing is, most of the areas have some pretty big predators. Alligators being the main ones. We might be searching for a body that is being digested. So let's focus on locating her scent. We won't focus on finding the body, just her scent. I think Andrew would benefit from just knowing her final resting place," I say as I s

    BENJI POV RATED R I growl as my dominant side pushes forward. Her lips try to keep up with mine, and it makes my fire build. I love that she didn't give up. I love that she refused to just let me walk away. I love that she took charge, but now it's my turn. I need to show her that I do want her. That it was my hurt pride talking. Her words reminded me of my fear when we voted. How I felt knowing if my pack said no, she would have to leave. She is right. I said I wanted her, and I do. I trust that what she is saying now is the truth. It just hurt my pride that she didn't come back for me. I wanted to be the reason. When she brought up everything she did, it made me angry again. It made me forget what I already knew. She is mine! I want her! We will forgive her, and she will earn our trust. I growl as I let my index claw grow. I slice her dirty dress in half at her back, at she gasps. She pulls away to look at me, and I smirk. "Show me what's mine, sexy kitty," I growl,

    BENJI POV "Mariah," I say as I open the guest room door. She has been hiding out ever since Lauren blew up, and I need to check on her. I haven't checked on her yet, and I feel like a terrible mate, but it's because I don't know what to do. My heart is torn between loving my mate and loyalty to my pack. I never thought I would have this dilemma. I thought I would meet my mate and she would love me. That's how shifters are. The only time a shifter has to work harder is if their mate is human. They have to win their mate over and reveal their true identity. But a shifter with a shifter mate has nothing to disclose. Both their inner animals call to one another. They love instantly...except in my case. My mate is a secret assassin sent to kill my Luna. Kill my Luna, not because of her crimes, but her family's crimes, which is bullshit. My Luna is an amazing woman. She is strong, loving, and loyal. My mate has been dishonest and withdrawn....ahhhhh. "I'm here," Maria

    SAMANTHA POV I don't know why I am so nervous. I mean, Andrew is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He shouldn't blame any of this on me. I know I had no control over Adam's actions. But I also know people who are grieving aren't always rational. He could have warped what happened in his mind, because he is upset about losing his loved ones. I mean, I did kill his son. He could be upset about the way I handled things. He could think I should have used nonlethal force. He could be disappointed that Adam never got his day in court. "Do you think seeing me will be too much for him," I ask Daniel quietly as he follows the rental car's GPS? "What do you mean? Too much? Are you asking about whether he can handle you being a shifter" Daniel asks, giving me a quick glance? "No. No. Well, that too...But umm, I was meaning he might get upset when he sees me. I mean, Adam killed his wife, and now Adam is dead. And Adam is dead because I killed him. Andrew might resent me," I
