I blinked at my mom, before my eyes slid to my dad. His mouth was taut until he finally closed his eyes and sighed.
“She’s…what?”
“She’s my daughter, Ethan.”
I turned to look at Kev only to find his eyes were as wide as saucers. He had grown up with her as my mom for as long as I had. His eyes slide to mine and he nodded, knowing what I was asking. She was telling the truth. Turning back to my mom, she had a continuous stream of tears falling down her cheeks.
“Mom…you…you had a kid…”
“Four actually. I have four kids back in Silver Mountain before I managed to escape.”
I grabbed the chair nearest to me and fell into it. Placing my head in my hands, I tried wrapping my head around this information.
“So one of your kids came to talk to you? After all these years?”
I was surprised that my dad answered. “She didn’t actuall

The door shut behind them and I leaned back in the seat, my head falling back to face the ceiling. My eyes side closed and o just felt myself slip into the silence that was now the packhouse.‘I’m surprised you didn’t say anything.’‘You don’t want me to. So I won’t.’I felt Niru sitting just on the fringes of my mind. It was almost like he was trying to be there for me without crowding me. Which was unusually kind of him considering his normal behavior.‘I just don’t need sass or snark right now.’He hummed. ‘How about a secondary observation?’I opened my eyes, looking up at the white ceiling. ‘Shoot.’‘Skylar is a Commander.’Snorting, I pushed up off the chair and headed into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and grabbed a

“None of my business. I don’t handle individual mate bonds. I allow mates to do as they wish with the fated mates that the goddess feels would be a perfect match for them.” I kept my face passive as Roger tried to get himself under control.“Laura has been in love with you for many years, Alpha. She has been taught how to be a leader and a Luna. Her grace and kindness would match that of our current Luna.” I felt my eye twitch as he sung his daughter’s praises. “She’s selfless and very knowledgeable. Even the Alpha King praised her when we had the opportunity to meet him a few years back. He’s also been very interested in you providing for your pack.”I leaned forward, resting my chin on my intertwined hands. “So is that why she threatened to go to the Alpha King? To force him to make her my mate?”His eyes widened. “What?”“Oh? Did she not tell you that part of the

I saw my mom sigh but then her shoulders tightened back up with the anger she seemed to forget for the moment. Before she could say anything, I pulled out a chair for her and then sat down at the table with my plate and a glass of water. She narrowed her eyes at the moment but eventually came over and sat down.“Oh. Hold on a second.”I got up and quickly grabbed my sketchbook from my office. Setting it down next to my plate, I sat back down. Mom was looking at me like she was trying to figure me out.“I thought you would be later.”She snorted. “I got off early for good behavior. Is that okay, Alpha? Or should I ensure I work to the last second of the eight hours?”“Mom, please. Don’t make this a fight. I know I messed up as well. Trust me, I get it. I’m paying for it in my own way, I promise you. But I need you to understand that what I do for you is because I love you. I don’t

When we talked about Heath having eyes and ears in my pack, we weren’t kidding. A text I wanted to ignore sat unread for two days before I finally relied. Not that it was needed. He didn’t ask questions. There was no request.‘Flying into your pack on Friday, make sure you have everything ready.’Groaning, I was now leaning against the pillar of the front porch of the pack house waiting for this bastard to drop from the sky like he usually did. I was glad my mom was currently working in town. He liked to harass her a little too much for my liking. Dad was standing against the door, his arms also crossed over his shoulder.Sam was sitting in the swing and Kev was kicking it, trying to get it to tip over. Finally, Sam squeaked and I growled at the two of them.“Would you two quit acting

I stood up from my chair, staring at him. My mind was trying to sort out what he was saying. He wasn’t here for me or for the pack. Heath was here for Skylar. I opened my mouth but no words came out. Luckily, Sam was a little more than willing to ask questions.“What? Why? I thought we could use her against her father? She has a ton of information right? Who the hell would take on that kind of job?”Heath shrugged. “I have some mercenaries in the area I trust. I needed to convene with them and give them the information. A few of my guys spotted her running in the National Park about an hour or so away. Apparently, she runs pretty religiously out there. Anyways, I just thought it would be best to nip it in the butt. Even if we used her, we could never fully trust her. I’d have to kill her eventually anyways.”Niru was howling in my head. ‘Say something you fucking idiot! We need to go! We need to warn her! Fu

The other two wolves left stepped back, now understanding that Skylar was far too much for them. Her head cocked to the side, watching them with fascination as they continued to try to step back. However, she stepped forward every step they took back. One of them tried to make a break for it but the air shifted and I felt the command fill the area. It was suffocating and I realized, it was her. She was the source of the intense command. This was so much more than just a powerful werewolf, or even powerful Alpha. The two mercenaries now moved toward her. With just a glance at their eyes, you could see they were fighting her against their will. She was forcing them to fight. Forcing them to finish what they started. I wanted to step forward but Niru held me back. There was a sliver of fear that wormed through him and then me. Fear of our own mate. It didn’t take long for her to dispatch the last two. Not once did she shift or even attempt to shift. She stood amongst the wolves she kill

It had been shocking going from the garage to the main floor but this room was too much. For a moment I thought I stepped through a portal to a medieval castle. The gothic style windows to the black walls were incredibly polarizing to the very white rest of the house. Even the bed was four poster carved wood, a covered top, and the black sheer fabric hanging off it. Somehow though, none of it looked tacky, which you would expect. It looked expensive and elegant.Walking over to her bed, I placed her gently on it. She was covered in dirt, leaves, and blood. I doubted she would appreciate being under the covers like that but also I wasn’t about to change her. Mate or not, we didn’t know each other and as Niru said, she was not of age. We had our lines. The fact that she had been sold off before her eighteenth birthday was disgusting enough.‘On par from what we have heard about Alpha Cross.’I hummed and checked her forehead. She w

Stepping back, I sat down on the chair. Skylar sat up slowly and looked around before her eyes fell back to me.“What are you doing here?”I cocked my head to the side. “I…brought you back. You passed out and you had a fever. Do you not remember…?”Her exasperated sigh filled the room. “Let me rephrase my question. What are you still doing here?”“I…” I cleared my throat when my pitch went a little higher than normal. “I wasn’t about to just leave you when you passed out. You were really weak. I wanted to make sure everything was okay.”She blinked at me a couple times and I could read her confusion loud and clear. I realized it might be because no one else has shown her care. That made my heart sink. Skylar swung her legs over the edge of the bed and when she got up, she started to sway. I quickly stood and grabbed her arm, steadying her. The look she g
