Myles POV Se left us on the back porch, and I knew she needed us to sort through whatever the hell is going on in Cams head. She has my hand a squeeze and I knew she wasn’t mad at me, just the situation. She isn't an idiot. She knows every time I touch her, he growls at us. It was grating on her last nerve, and I wanted her calm. I needed her calm and happy. If talking to this buffoon would accomplish that, then I would do it for her. I would do just about anything for her. I watch her put Cam in his place as her aura flew out of her. I could feel it tickling at my senses but didn’t feel the need to submit to her. Weird. ‘Midnight? Why isn't her aura affecting us?’ I ask him and he just smiles a little. ‘Don't think too much on it human. Just keep working your ass off to make things right with her.’ he says and retreats to the back of my mind. After Cam submits, I watch her walk away, completely mesmerised by the sway of her perfect ass. Now we stand in complete silence, staring a
Serenity’s POV I took my usual seat at the table, though I could have taken my fathers. Myles sat next to me, and had his hand on my leg under the table discreatly giving me comfort. I smile at him and face Alpha Henry, relieved the other Alphas had been kicked out. Henry is a good man, and good Alpha from what I know of his pack. Alpha Luca has always been rather reserved, but I like the way he treats his unit as equals in these meetings. It shows strong character for an Alpha. “We will make this short Young Alpha Serenity, as I know this must be a topic you do not wish to discuss.” Henry says to me, and I focus on him as he clicks record on some device on the table and rearranges some papers. “We have seen a recording of the Luna confessing to abusing you, and the medical records of the injuries you sustained, so we just need a few details from you personally.” he says, and I nod. “Of course, Alpha.” I say, swallowing around the lump in my throat. Myles squeezes my knee lightly
Sequoia POV I stayed in the kitchen once Sese left. I needed to distance myself from Sam’s space. Knowing he is starting to actually see me as a person was reigniting my and my wolf’s hope that he could be my mate. This constant pull to him for over eighteen years had never diminished, and the pain I felt almost every night was now none-existent. I couldn’t cope with my wolf feeling the loss of something that never belonged to us in the first place. I needed to just, go, see the ladies, and if it wasn’t an option for me here, I would go to Nighthaven and adopt a pup from there. Hope would help me. Sometimes they don’t look favourably on un-mated women adopting, but at my age, they wouldn’t have any worries. The major fear is that a female will find her mate, and they will want to give the pup up in favour of baring her own children. That wouldn’t happen for me, no matter how much I wanted children. Honestly, even if I found a mate, this pup would still be my child. If I go to Nightha
Alpha Sam’s POV After chewing that stupid pup out for talking about Ren like an object, having lunch with my pup, and the watching her and her unit go into the interview, I decided to try and find that damn she-wolf who had plagued me all night long. I had been so caught up with all the information she gave me this morning, I had yet to get to the bottom of her comment last night. I checked the entire freaking pack house, and now, found myself pacing in the Luna office. Spear is pissed that we can't find her, and it is adding to my own anxiety at her sudden disappearance. ‘Daddy’ Ren calls to me through the link and I smile a little. How did I ever get through a day without her calling me daddy? It wasn’t until she started to become more open with me that I realised how much I was missing out on with my pup. Every time she called to me it warmed me. I am so glad she forgave me. We all needed a fresh start once this was over. ‘Yes, baby girl?’ I ask her wondering if she needs me f
Serenity’s POV I hate it down here and so does Star. She has been grumbling on about the smell since my dad opened the door. We follow him down the dark, damp corridor to a small room. He holds his finger up to his lips, and I step into the room. It is pitch black, aside from the light coming through a window connected to the room next door. ‘One way glass?’ I ask my dad, as I had never been down here before. We have a prison now which looks like a five-star hotel in comparison to this. There is dust everywhere and the smell of urine, blood and iron is heavy in the air. ‘Yeah. She can't see you and won't know you are here.’ My dad links back and I nod, and watch as Henry rearranges his papers sitting in his chair with his back to us. He rolls his shoulders, clearly tense and stiff after a long day. The small room is pure concrete, and you can see the stains of age, blood and damp. The metal, rectangular table is bolted to the floor. Sheryl and Henry sit in two of the three metal
Alpha Sams POV I couldn’t take it. Spear was writhing under my skin. Anger burned through my veins. I was shaking with the sheer force of retaining Spear and controlling my anger. I slammed my hand onto the intercom, needing to speak to Henry immediately. This can't wait another second. I storm out, leaving Ren safely in the room, and close the door. I stand, waiting for Henry to leave the room, and he strides out shaking his head. “I can't believe... I have never... Goddess she is fucking disgusting.” he says in total shock, and I have to agree. “I have listened to it once. She is fucking insane. Me and my wolf can't take another second. Can I reject her formally or not?” I ask, trying to maintain my professionalism. I am not mad at him, and it would be wrong for me to take it out on him. “We can do it now and explain to the pack later. I mean... that bitch is undeniably guilty. She hasn’t even denied the claims!” he says shaking his head and looking back to the door. “We have
Serenity’s POV I can't stay. I can't. I can't hear him get her out of there. I can't listen to him forgive her for everything. I protected him and his mate bond my entire life. I could have shown him the scars... the wounds... I could have gone to him. It would have been painful, and I thought she would deny it, but she's proud! Proud of slicing an innocent pup to pieces! I hate her. I can't. It's too much. I get up off the floor, my nails digging into the dust covered floor, and as I hear my dad step into the interrogation room, I know he is going to release her. I can't be around her again. Not anymore. I am part fucking Alpha, part Goddess. No mental case is ever going to touch me again. I put up with it because I thought she was my mother, and I wanted her to love me. I thought she loved my dad, and they were happy. I won't watch them be happy now he knows what she put me through. I thought he was on my side. I bolt from the room, my vision blurring with tears. My breathing bec
Alpha Sam’s POV I shift and pull on these damn spare shorts that Tom had thrown me. He has always been a man of few words, but when he does speak, he is usually right. I needed to speak to that damn pup again. I was losing my damn mind, and he was out here cuddling up to my freaking pup! I storm out from behind the tree, my bare feet slamming heavily into the grass as stomp back to the pups. Mylo is stood there with his arms folded across his chest, mute and looking at the ground. Tom is still leaning casually against the tree. These assholes are way too calm for me. “PAWS OFF PUP! LAST WARNING!” I snarl at him. “Already had this conversation uncle Sam.” Myles says and sighs. I march over to them and give him the death glare only an Alpha can. ‘My pup in control. Shut Ren out.’ Spear says into my mind, and I freeze. Shit! If she has forced control... we could lose Ren. She is too young! A wolf shouldn’t be taking control like this, especially when she hasn’t shifted yet. I snap
