From the moment we all entered my brother’s office something felt off. When my father was adamant about discussing the Tai Jitu Wolves even though Gemma is still in danger I knew he was up to something. Counsel member Matthew’s behavior was usually methodical, which usually meant that he was ten step ahead or he already knew your next move. We hadn’t told anyone outside of our elite circle about Gemma’s sister or her possible kidnapping. That’s probably why Matthew thought it was as good of a time as any to give us his knowledge now on our bonded wolves.
Council member Matthew spoke robotically as he taught us about Tai Jitu wolves, “It is said that when a great power is gifted upon a werewolf balance must be restored to not allow the world to plummet into chaos. Gemma and Westley are like Yin and Yang, one without the other can be deadly. We have been trying to find as much knowledge about as

Alpha Keen POVMy father and elder council member Matthew finally finished with briefing me on the knowledge they had found describing the Tai Jitu Wolves. Apparently they are a rare bonded wolf pair, and they haven’t been seen in over a hundred years. They both always have powers and due to their wolf spirits strength they are usually rulers of our kind, but not always a mated pair even though in most cases they ended up that way. This was something that both Matthew and my father kept bringing up, and not just the fact that usually they became a mated pair even if they weren’t fated. But they kept talking about the strength that the pair would have together.After the last counsel meeting where my father and Westley seemed to be seething about West’s lost chance to be with me fated mate I could care less about the power their bond holds. West is not going to be getting any alone time with Gemma, because we all know how he

Alpha Keen POVWhoever was able to breech my security system was either someone who was a master at hacking, or one of the few people with access to the packs security system. I needed to keep this quite and close to my chest until I know more. This needed to be investigated as quickly and quietly as possible, and that meant that i had to rely on at least one other person to help me. Thinking about the possible suspect list was fucking depressing, because there were only five other people who had enough access to the security system to be able to pull this off.I knew if I slowed down to think about my mate being missing, or the possiblity of her being in the hands of another man it would send me into an Alpha rage. I didn't have time to deal with that right now, and I really didn't want anyone to know that my Rose bud was gone. Someone within this house took my mate for Goddess only knows, and anyone involved was going to pay with their liv

Gemma POVI awoke in a log cabin wearing black satin lingerie that showed off way more than I was comfortable with, and the only other person here was Westley. He was half naked too only wearing black satin pants that were riding low on his hips showing off his sculpted Adonis belt, but just thinking about someone putting us together as a couple made the bile rise within my throat. My head ached and was still a little fuzzy from whatever powder they used to get me here, and from the way that Westley is seething I don’t think he came here willingly either. Although at this point nothing would surprise me, because just a week ago I didn’t think werewolves existed.He begins pacing the room aggressively like a caged tiger that’s been agitated, and I brace my self for what he is about to say. “Gemma you have to know I had nothing to do with this.” He looks to me to see if his words are getting through searching my e

Gemma POVI drop the blanket from my shoulders and bound towards him needing to feel his soothing electric touch. “I knew you would find us Keen, I’ve missed you so much!” His arms open ushering me to be wrapped in his embrace, but there aren’t any sparks electrifying my skin. I try not to think about it as my mate stares at me with a gaze that holds a possessive protectiveness, but also a tender admiration which should be conflicting, but they aren’t.He doesn’t lean in to kiss me like normal, but when I lean into him reaching on my tip toes to meet his lips. I only brush my lips against his softly before pulling back to look into his eyes, and I can see his self-control snap in that moment. Before I can over think his unusual behavior he pulls me harder into his chest looking into my eyes with a lustful need I’ve never seen making my heart begin fluttering against my rib cage. The intensity his eye

Westley POVThe sun had slowly started to set when Gemma’s eyes locked onto mine peering deep within me like they had done before I had betrayed her trust. She was looking at me once again like I was her savior, filling the depths of my soul with a warmth that’s incomparable to anything else. I would do anything to have her keep looking at me in this way. “I knew you would find us Keen, I’ve missed you so much!” Her words should have felt like a slap in the face, but even though I knew she thought I was Will but she was still calling me by my last name.I knew she was only looking at me this way because the drugs had finally gotten to her, but her intense eyes didn’t have any less effect on me. The drugs that were being pumped into the cabin hadn’t had worked on me yet, but I didn’t have time to think about what that meant before she was sprinting towards me. The look of pure happiness an

Alpha Keen POVBy 8:30am my office is once again filled with all my elite members, but besides my Beta and his mate Jennifer no one knows the real reason were here. As I was setting up the meeting with everyone that we thought could be involved, the two of them set up the plan for how we could expose our rat or rats.I try to study everyone’s body langue as they enter my office trying to see if someone is acting differently, but besides being everyone being annoyed nothing seems out of the ordinary. My father and mother are the first to enter with my father acting like the arrogant Alpha he is by questioning Andy about what is going on. That’s normal though but my mother takes her place beside him with a sorrow filled expression that piques my interest, because that’s usually an expression she only has when he’s hiding something.The other two elite pack members enter like normal but looking more

Alpha William POV The minute my parents were out the door my Beta and his mate stormed back into my office. So much for a moment to myself to think about all the information I was just given. “What the hell was that about?” Jennifer demanded. I was not in the mood for this, but I knew for my Rose bud I need to keep my emotions in check. “That was me taking a fucking moment to see if my father was the lying bastard I thought.” I grumbled as I fell back into my chair, running my hand through my hair. My Beta laughed, “And?” Both of their eyes were boring holes into me, and I knew I needed a drink before I could keep going. I walked over to the bar pouring us all a shot and motioning them to join me. “That bad Will?” I nod and we all down a shot before I fill them in about my brother being an Alpha because of my father’s mistrust in me. His denial of having assisted Everett, and my mother’s cluelessness in thinking that Westley was

Alpha William POVThe Coven King and I stare one another down as we both contemplate our next steps in our pursuit of Gemma. The Coven King looks like he is ready to scorch the earth if I don’t hand him his “property” over, and to be frank I am sick of myself and everyone thinking of her as something we can own. In our pack we are raised to believe that our fated mates are ours not only to take ownership of, but to love and take care of for the rest of our lives. A long the way my ego took over, and I forgot that she wasn’t just mine to possess but to take care of by loving her the way she deserves.I’ve definitely been the shitty mate who only took ownership of the gift the Goddess gave me, I took advantage of our sacred bond one she had no clue even existed doing so without even giving one thought to how that would feel, and I all but forgot that while I may claim her as Mine I was supposed to allow her to tru

As evening approaches my birthday party guest begin to arrive as were getting the three little ones ready. William helps West wrangle Wyatt and Walker into a bath, getting their mini versions dressed in matching navy-blue button up shirts and dress pants. The twins are literally little mini versions of their father and uncle which I’m not going to lie pissed me off at first. I may have carried the two tiny lives, but besides their blue eyes having a gray tint it seemed as though the Keen genes overruled all of mine. The men put the two boys in the living room with tablets while they got ready.Skylar and I get ready together as always sighting the need for girl time. As I shimmy my baby bump into my rose gold mermaid dress I can’t help but stare at my beautiful daughter as she twirls around my dressing room in her matching rose gold princess dress.

7 years later“Mommy, Mommy” My Daughters angelic sing song voice floats through the air. “Wyatt and Walker won’t let me climb up the tree house ladder.” My daughter Skyler cries softly to me about her big brothers as she runs through the back doors of the pack house. Her Auburn hair and gray-blue tear-filled eyes come into view, but before I can even answer her a loud booming voice is heard as heavy footsteps make their way down the marble staircase.“Where is uncle’s little princess? … Why is my little blue Sky so gray, who does uncle need to punish?” William says mockingly stern as she cries slightly louder as he makes his way to her. I shake my head watching him scoop up my youngest as she snuggles into his large broad chest trying to sooth herself. He makes his way towards the living room where I’m reading, and even though he has made it clear that he never wishes to have chil

Gemma POV I don’t know how long we collapse into each other’s embrace forgetting about the world around us until a loud knock sounds. We both jump looking at the other as I let out a giggle realizing that the three people in the sitting area probably heard more than they should have. I can’t help but feel nervous at what they think until West pulls me back into him giving me a soft tender kiss that comforts me so entirely that I almost forget that someone just knocked on the door. Getting lost in his kiss is far to easy, but when another knock is heard we realize that we can no longer ignore it. “We better get back out there even though I’d rather stay in bed pleasuring you all day.” West says to me before kissing the tip of my nose, then both of my cheeks, before placing a final hard kiss to my forehead. Which makes me coyly smile at him before moving slowly off of his lap to get dressed again. I can’t help but admire his muscular body

Alpha Westley POVWhen my father started charging towards my mother and William it was as if time slowed, and all I could think about was shielding Gemma from whatever horror was about to take place. As my father told his story she started to pull away from my chest to hear what he was saying even though she was still shaking like a leaf, but as he moved she wrapped her entire body around me so when I stood to turn us around after my mother shifted she just kept clinging to my chest wrapping her legs around my waist I began to hum to jump start my powers so I could better comfort her. As she began to take deep breaths of my scent in I noticed that she stopped shaking as much, and that when I let out the breath I didn’t even know I was holding sense my mother shifted. I knew that after everything we had went through this was only going to make her shrink back into her shell again especially if she saw my father’s bloodied dead body.“Will

Alpha William POVWhy does he keep calling us her boys?“See boys before you were born I had an identical twin brother named Thomson. He was born a couple minutes before me, but there’s never been twin Alpha’s in our pack so they weren’t sure which of us would become Alpha. Then when your mother was born a year they didn’t know which one of us was the future Luna’s mate.” As he keeps talking our mother begins to quietly sob as she drops to the floor obviously distraught by what he’s about to share. I look to West confused trying to see if he has any ideas of what the hell our father is saying, he doesn’t seem to but like me he doesn’t seem as fazed by what my father is sharing. I’m frozen in fear wondering what’s were about to learn oblivious to everything else that’s happening in my office until West mind-links me.‘Go to Mom Will, Gemma is still shaking I can&rsqu

Alpha William POVAs I slowly walked out of her suite it hurt like hell I didn’t understand why, because in my mind I had already came to the conclusion that I needed to let her go. It was time for me to focus on weeding out the traitors within our pack, and I knew that tomorrow was going to be a day of reckoning especially with West and I finally standing united. My father may have gotten his way in having Gemma and West together, but after tonight I know that West isn’t going to be loyal to anyone but his Luna.Everett had ratted out all three council members including my father who had apparently been the mastermind that had implemented his sick plans. His only demand for giving us all the information he had was to promise that we would send him to the same pack where his sister is so he can at least be by family while he serves his punishment. I had talked to Andy’s sister the Luna of the pack where Maddy was before we

Alpha William POVEver sense we rescued Gemma and Westley my life had become a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. One minute I’m ready to forgive Gemma for a betrayal that she wasn’t even in control of, and the next I want to hurt her just as badly as she had unknowingly hurt me.I was walking a fine line between love and hate with Gemma these last few days, but wasn’t that the true nature of passion? Love and hate were so closely similar that one could turn into the other so easily with a few wrong or right choices. If there was enough passion to fuel one or the other they were both possible. I could tell that my hot and cold behavior towards her started to change how she saw me, but it both terrified and relieved me that I might be close to losing her.After West was knocked out and in the care of the Coven King I tried to convince myself that Gemma was still my Rose bud from before the kidnapping, bu

Gemma POV I frantically stood up standing between the two Alpha males that wanted nothing more than to kill each other all because of me. “ENOUGH!” I could feel my molten lava powers surfacing as my emotions took over. I tried to take in a deep breath and center myself like Jennifer had taught me. “William it was my fault things got out of hand, and I forgot how this would affect you it was an honest mistake.” All he did was glare at me, “oh you forgot that I was your mate how convenient for you I wish I could do the same.” He spat at him, and I let out a small whimper from his hurt full words. When Westley stood up growling at his brother I knew that this situation was going south quickly, and the fire within me was now at the surface tempting me with its intoxicating pleasure to help solve my problem. I shook my head trying to clear my mind to stay centered, and when Westley’s hand comes to interlace with mine he

Gemma POVEver sense we got back from the cabin everything around me has felt surreal, the more they force how they thought I should feel on me, and what they thought I should do the more it all just felt wrong. Kade and William seemed to be playing a game of tug of war with me that I wasn’t even given the choice in participating in. I had started to enjoy spending time with Kade, but he felt like a wise older friend nothing more. Obviously I felt something for William, but I could tell that he was still hurt and angry about everything that had happened at the cabin no matter how much he said that he was trying to forgive me for him. Like I decided to go they’re of my own free will and betray him which only made me annoyed by his ever looming presence. He sat there in the background like a creepy stalker, that tried to talk to me as little as possible unless I had a question about my memory.William seemed to be adamant about me
