Reiner’s POV Driving through the pack lands of the famed Alpha Myla showed me why she was so revered. Her territory was huge. Square miles, it was bigger than mine by about 10%. I watched as we passed beautiful farmlands and amazing forests with trees taller than any I had seen before. The tall guard sitting across from me was intimidating even to an Alpha like me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name,” I offered trying to at least be polite. “That’s because I didn’t tell you,” he grumbled not moving his gaze from my face. “Tough crowd,” Chase said from the seat next to me. He had insisted on coming along claiming he need to find “fresh hotties”. I wasn’t sure that was such a great idea. “We will be arriving in five minutes,” the driver announced. He was also a guard but, at least he was a bit less intimidating. As we drove down the cobblestone street, we passed groups of wolves training. Some were sparring, other
Myla’s POV I swear I had pulled out every outfit in my closet. Why was I so worried about how I looked? Did I really care if I impressed this guy? I heard my door open, and Jade enter. “In here,” I called out reaching for another dress, yanking it off the hanger. I tossed it into the pile behind me. “Oh, my,” Jade said echoing my feelings. “I know right? All these clothes yet I have nothing to wear.” I sighed as I looked at the pile of discarded clothes. “Myla, you are crazy. You look beautiful in anything. You could wear a paper bag and still look gorgeous,” Jade tried to comfort me. “You are truly the best friend anyone could ever ask for,” I reached over and pulled her into a hug. I suddenly knew what I would wear. Fifteen minutes later, I was heading down to meet the Alpha. I froze at the top of the stairs. What is that smell? I couldn’t resist the mint chocolate scent streaming from the dining hall. Mint choc
Reiner's POV When she entered the hall, I instantly knew she was mine. She stood there looking around for the person she knew was her mate. As our eyes met, it all made sense, the feelings of jealousy when the driver said she was hot, the pull I felt towards her, and the inability to forget the sound of her voice which always left me wanting to call her back. She was stunning. Her long black hair flowed loosely around her face. Her ivory skin was highlighted by the contrast of her jet-black hair. Her petite frame with her perfect hips. Her plump lips seemed to beg me to kiss them. Her high cheekbones, and her eyes, I don’t think I had ever seen eyes that green before. She was of average height and her legs were sleek and muscular. I wondered how many wolves had dreamed about her being their mate. She was dressed in tight shorts and a cute little tank top. I could see the outline of her abs under her shirt. This wolf is not just smart and an extraordinary Alpha, she was also a stunning
Myla's POVTo think, the Alpha I didn’t want to meet, is my mate. The Moon Goddess certainly has a funny way of doing things. I sat with him watching the others dance. This had been one of the best nights I could remember. Cobalt had come to say hello to Alpha Reiner. He introduced Layla who was a little nervous as she had never been part of a pack before. She had been born to rogue parents who had been killed during a structure fire. Her mom had thrown her to a firefighter before she was overcome by smoke. They didn’t know what to do with her. The firefighter wanted to raise her but, his mate said no. She had been placed in the orphanage. Strangely enough, Cobalt’s parents had passed the same way. I was feeling relaxed, having my mate by my side seemed to give me a feeling of peace. I never wanted this night to end. The music stopped, and I heard Barrett’s voice float through the silence. “I would like to have our very own Alpha Myla c
Myla's POVAs I reached the source of the scream, I saw the attacker. He looked similar to the one I had killed only he was bigger. I didn’t care how big he was, he would not hurt anyone again. I leaped on him knocking him to the ground. I could hear my warriors coming, I knew they were close. I could scent my mate; I knew he would come. I felt proud he would join my warriors. The intruder grabbed me by the leg trying to pull me off. Hell no! I wouldn’t give in that easily! I sank my teeth into his shoulder, I bit down as hard as I could. His shoulder made a horrible cracking sound as his bones snapped. He roared with pain. It wasn’t enough, I wanted him dead. He grabbed my jaw trying to make me let go. I obliged, as he pulled me back, I grabbed his throat using his own momentum to snap his neck. His body dropped to the ground just as my mate reached me, followed by my warriors. I jumped off the body looking for the source of the scream. I shifted not caring that I was stark naked. I
Reiner’s POV I lay in her bed, surrounded by her scent mixed with mine after we marked and mated each other. I hadn’t expected sex with my mate to be so different from the sex I had before. It was more intimate, it meant something. I guess that’s what they mean by making love. I wanted her to stay but Evie needed her. That little girl had been through so much. She needed her more than I did. I had been lucky; I had grown up with both of my parents. I had close friends and family. We had family dinners every night. On Sundays, we had our family over and had a big dinner. I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I jumped as Myla’s voice was in my head. “Are you ok? Why are you sad?” “I told her it was nothing and I had just been missing her.” I felt her happiness come through the bond. The mate bond gave us our own link to each other which was separate from the pack link. We would also feel what each other is feeling. It was a way for mates to know if their partn
Reiner's POVMyla said she had a surprise for me and my pack. She had me watch Evie while she went and got her car. We waited on the steps for her. Pretty soon, I saw a black pickup with black rims and dark tinted windows coming up the drive. The thing was lifted with those knobby “mudders” for tires.Great, who’s this shmuck? I wondered to myself as it pulled up in front of us blocking our view. The passenger window opened revealing Myla. “This is your car?” I was impressed, to say the least. She is such a petite girl, but she drives a monster truck? I have to admit, the thing is sleek almost like a panther, but you know it could probably go through anything.“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” She flashed me a smile which told me how proud of her truck she is. Next to me, Evie squealed with delight. “I get to ride in a monster truck!” “That’s right little one, are you excited?”I couldn’t tell who was more excited, Myla or Evie. “Auntie Myla, who’s truck is this?” she was buckl
Myla's POVThe next morning, I awoke to my phone ringing. As I picked it up, I saw Doc’s name. I tapped answer. “Doc, how is she doing?”“Hello Alpha, she just woke up. She is very confused but, at least she is awake.”“Thank the Goddess! I am on my way.”“See you soon, Alpha.”I hung up the phone. I got up and threw on my clothes. I wanted to talk to her before /I had to show the newest members of the pack the town. Walking around to Reiner, I gently shook him. “Reiner, Reiner, wake up.” He opened his eyes.“Myla? Is everything alright?” he asked propping himself up on his elbows.“Yes, everything is fine. Can you listen for Evie? Her Mom woke up and I want to go talk to her.”“Of course, my love,” he told me to be careful, before kissing me goodbye.“Oh, I am going to squeeze my run in before we show everyone the town.”“Ok but please be careful.”“I will, I promise.” I gave him another kiss before heading off to the pack hospital.As I walked in, the scent of antiseptic cleaner bro
The body was a twisted mess. If I didn't know it was a werewolf, I would think someone had slaughtered something. My stomach lurched as I did all I could to keep from being sick. "Alpha, you should go, I will inform you as soon as I find anything." Doc watched me hoping he would not have a mess to clean up from me. "Doc, Myla knows we have a body but I would like to spare her the details. I would appreciate it if we could keep her out of here." I knew Doc would agree but I felt I should confirm we were on the same page. I made my way out of the morgue, I needed to be away from the smell of death. When I stepped out into the afternoon sun, the fresh air calmed me. I knew I needed to consider all possibilities. I walked along the road back to the packhouse. I wanted to be with my mate and our daughter. I needed to know they were safe. Seeing the ferocity of the attack left me with an urge to hunt down those responsible. When I got closer to the packhouse, I heard laughter coming fro
Reiner's POVI watched her look around for a minute. “Daddy, I have the pan and the sauce, what do I do now?”“Well, you let me help,” I said rolling up my sleeves. My favorite meal was stuffed shells. My mother had taught me to make them. I thought about how happy she would be if she knew I was teaching my daughter the secret recipe she had taught me all those years ago. I showed Evie the steps to make it. A while later, we pulled the food out of the oven. It smelled divine. Evie set the table. I got out the salad we had made earlier and the cheesy garlic bread. The whole place smelled like a gourmet Italian restaurant. I was about to send Evie to get Myla when she came in.“That smells divine! I am so hungry; I think I could eat the whole tray!” she exclaimed.Evie giggled. “Mommy, you would explode!” Myla laughed with her. The sound of their laughter made my heart skip a beat. The only thing that would complete this moment would be holding my son.After we ate dinner, we promised
Reiner’s POVAs I looked at the photos with Myla, I could feel the anger bubbling up. They had hurt her, tortured her, and kept her chained to a wall as they took photos of her! What kind of sick perverts are these psychos? The Alpha Summit had been difficult, to say the least. Then, some sicko sends her these. I swear when I find them, I am going to torture them before I kill them. “Myla, why do you call them the others?” “I call them the others because that’s what they called themselves.”I wonder why they would call themselves the others. “I am going to have my tech guys trace the email to figure out where it came from. Hopefully, it will provide some clues.” We landed about an hour later. Myla was quiet the rest of the flight. I assumed she was exhausted. As we left the jet, Barrett hopped out of the waiting car holding Evie. “Myla, Reiner, welcome home!” He smiled happily. “We have missed you!”Myla lit up as her eyes landed on our
Myla's POV Reiner rubbed my back as Beverly continued to hug me. After another minute, she looked at me. “You are amazing Myla. Don’t you ever forget it. If you ever need me, please contact me, ask me to come to you, come to me, I will not let Dominic keep me from you like he kept me from your mother. I owe her that.” “I will,” I promised. We talked about other things for another couple of hours. I was sad when Beverly left. Reiner sat next to me. “Are you ok Babe? I know it isn’t easy to talk about any of that.” “I’m ok. I am tired though.” It had been a long day. I needed a nap. I stretched and then stood up to go lie down. Sam and Wade were looking at me with some foreign expression. When I was in my room, Reiner came in with a glass of water. He set it on the table next to me. “Hey, what’s with them?” I was confused by their look. He smiled proudly. “They have always respected you, but now that they know what you have been through, they not only respect you as their Alpha, b
Myla's POV I sat happily waiting for the meeting to start. My little baby bump was getting lots of attention from the Lunas. I could only imagine what the other Alphas were thinking. Luna Beverly, Alpha Dominic’s mate asked if she could feel the baby. She had been waiting for grand pups, but her son and her daughter had both decided to wait. We chatted as her mate made his opening speech. “You are absolutely precious dear. I wish I had been brave enough to wear comfortable things when I was pregnant. Instead, I was taught to dress appropriately regardless of how I felt. Don’t ever let someone change you.” She smiled sadly. “Silence please,” Alpha Dominic boomed through the speakers. “We have with us, the lead investigator who has been combing through evidence trying to find the one responsible for all of the attacks. A frail-looking older gentleman stepped on stage. He stood next to Alpha Dominic looking around as if hoping he would notice something. “Ladies and gentlemen, please
Myla’s POV The doors closed and I was alone. I didn’t care too much because I can take care of myself. As the elevator reached the second floor, Alpha Gill stepped on. I didn’t say anything. He pushed the button for three. I tried to remember what floor he had got out on last night. He stood between me and the control panel. I watched in horror as he pushed the emergency stop. The alarm went off. He turned to face me as he spoke. “You should have listened Myla. I would have been a good mate. Our pack would have been unstoppable if you had listened to me.” He growled. I could see his canines sinking from his gums as fur sprouted on his knuckles. “Let me out,” I growled my own canines appearing. I couldn’t shift as it is too dangerous for the baby, but maybe I could intimidate him. “No, you ruined my plans to control the most powerful pack there is.” His eyes turned black as more fur sprang out. “Let me out now!” I tried my Alpha command on him. He laughed. “Your pitiful Alpha com
Reiner's POVI looked through the council records to find a list of allies. The only way the packs would agree to a council is with total transparency. All council records were accessible by all the Alphas. The members of the council could only serve for 2 consecutive years. If no one ran for a seat that was becoming vacant, it would simply sit empty. The Alpha Summit was put in place for the Alphas of all the packs to be able to discuss issues with land or borders, problems between packs, attacks, or threats. I looked at the clock. It was nearly 6. The banquet starts at seven. I stretched, pushing back in the chair, I stood up to wake up Myla. I opened the door to find she was awake.“Hey, would you grab my dress from the closet?”She sounded tired. I couldn’t blame her. She had been through a lot recently. I went to the closet to get it. “Which one is for tonight?”“The black one, with the long sleeves.”I carefully moved her clothes around. “What shoes do you want?” I might as wel
Reiner’s POV I watched Evie excitedly jumping around with all her new toys. I may have gone a bit overboard, but Evie deserves to be spoiled. She is the daughter of two powerful Alphas. We lost a lot of time with her. I know buying stuff won’t change it but now that I know about her, I won’t ever leave her. If I want to spoil her, I will.Myla stood watching her. I could feel her happiness through the bond. I never knew I could love someone as much as I loved the three of them. I know my son isn’t here yet, but I love him already.Later that night, lying in bed with Myla, I asked what names she liked for a boy.She rolled over to face me. “I was thinking Reiner Jr.” she smiled.“No. The world can only handle one of me. I was thinking about naming him after Barrett’s father. After all, he played a huge part in your life.”“I am honored you want to name him after him. He did a lot for me. I think I am the alpha I am today because of him.” She looked as though she was rememb
Myla’s POV I couldn’t understand, why didn’t Doc and Reiner just tell me the truth? I wasn’t going to break. I am a different person than the scared little girl who stopped talking for a year. When Reiner explained he had been tricked too. I wanted to find those responsible and rip out their throats. It hit me like a ton of bricks. The little girl I had grown to love is mine, she is my flesh and blood, born from something stolen from me. I would never blame Evie. She is the most innocent one in all of this. I suddenly needed to hold her, to tell her who I really am. She was chasing birds. I took off running to her. I scooped her up and held her to me. I could feel her heartbeat against my chest. My little girl. The little girl stolen from me. I was tortured for her to live. At that moment, I knew it didn’t matter. She is mine. “I love you my little Evie.” She looked at me funny. “I know, I love you too mommy.” She hugged me tightly. Reiner caught up to us, wrapping himse
