ENZO

Violet was practically dead on her feet by the time that we finally cleared out the guild’s compound.

I knew for a fact that I would never be able to forget the horrific things that we saw tonight. There was a vast difference between hearing about it and witnessing it. My fucking heart shattered for everything that they had gone through. NOBODY should be treated the way that these survivors had been. That was precisely what they were – survivors.

I prayed to the Goddess that she would provide opportunities to help them heal from their trauma. We would do everything in our power to make it happen.

A rough estimate was that we rescued around two hundred people tonight. It was the largest successful rescue mission against hunters that I've ever heard about before. There were no fatalities from our pack or our allies. There were, however, many injuries and some very serious ones, but they would get the best possible care.

Thankfully, we had evidence of everything that we encountered

    ENZOTitan and I were already compiling a list of things that we needed to get for Avalynn. A small part of me wondered who the biological sperm donor was. If the mother had been one of the breeders then there was no telling for certain.I knew that she was a pup, but I wondered if she was a hybrid or a full werewolf. We needed to know just so that we'd be able to give her the best possible care. It didn't matter outside of that. Hybrid infants often had specific needs based on their genetics. Breast milk helped to provide for those needs, but it was obviously not something that we could do with her.‘Reika said that she and Violet are okay with us running a DNA profile on her like we did on them. They want to know too,’ Titan told me.Well, that was good to know. Now, I wouldn't have to wait to ask. I made my way downstairs and told Dr. Sutton what we wanted done. The good news was that some blood had already been drawn earlier, so Avalynn wouldn't need to be poked again. The results

    ALPHA BRADLEYThe ringing of a phone jolted me awake. I looked at the clock and was immediately pissed the fuck off. It was five in the morning. Whoever was calling had a death wish.“What?” I snarled into the phone.“Alpha, there’s a…situation…” Taylor’s voice trailed off.His vagueness pissed me off further. Sentinel or not, he knew better than to waste my time. The world had better be burning or else his body would be. “What type of fucking situation?” I asked, throwing the blanket off of me and standing up.Whatever happened had better be important or else I’d just have to snap his neck and be done with it. I didn't have the time, patience, or desire to deal with incompetence. I walked over to my closet and slipped on a pair of sweatpants but left my chest bare. I lived alone in my house on the Council’s grounds. My ‘mate’ died years ago. She was just a means to an end so that it wouldn't appear odd for me to live alone and without a mate like some of the others had. “The guild

    CANDICE“C’mon, let’s give the new family some peace,” I said with a smile, happy to see how much they already loved the little one.We gave hugs and kisses before leaving the room.“Hey, Daph, why don’t you go check on the food preparations? Perhaps Eli wouldn’t mind helping,” I suggested, looking at him.He immediately nodded, saying that he didn’t mind in the least. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from grinning. Eli was a good kid, so I had no worries when it came to him being around Daph.His response perked her right up. She looped her arm around his and damn near pulled him. She was already asking him questions about himself. Daph had this magnetic personality, one that could pull anyone into her orbit. Even the crankiest of people weren’t immune to her special brand of charm.An arm wrapped around my waist, sending a flurry of delicious sparks wherever our skin touched. I hadn’t expected for us to be fated to one another. I had no idea why we didn’t have this bond be

    VIOLETI hadn't really thought that much about being a mother until Enzo came along. That was when I began dreaming about what it'd be like to have Enzo's pups. Ava might not be biologically ours but was ours, nonetheless. How she was brought into our lives was completely surreal. Perhaps Mom would know something about her birth mother. I hoped that she was watching over her daughter and could rest, knowing that we'd take care of her. She was positively a beautiful pup and so damn precious. I was overwhelmed when I looked at my mate. I could've lost him tonight. It was a necessary mission that we had to do, but any number of things could've gone wrong. My eyes stung as reality washed over me. On the other hand, the outcome was a miracle in and of itself. I had to believe that we had some divine intervention going on. “None of that, Amore Mio. The what-ifs don't deserve to live rent-free in your mind. Instead of that, think about the incredible things that we accomplished and all of

Hopefully, her vision ended up providing a generic overview. She explained every last detail of her vision, not leaving anything out. There was, indeed, enough information to go off of to develop a plan of attack. It was the time frame that hit the hardest. We only had two weeks to get everything in order and face Alpha Bradley. We either succeeded or failed. There was no other outcome. We needed to develop an airtight argument because we'd be needing the Council to essentially turn on two of its members. The Werewolf Council was the highest form of authority in the land. I took a steadying breath and pushed aside my worries. This would work because there was no other option for us. We sat there and discussed the best course of action. It was decided that we'd divide and conquer. Some of us would go d

    VIOLET“You've gotten faster.”My head whipped around and saw Daph right behind me. What in the fuck was she doing out here? The plan had been for Lilac to teleport her home if anything went down. This was definitely not taking her home. “What are you doing here? Daph, this wasn't the plan,” I said sternly. My lovely sister just rolled her eyes as she sped up so that we were side by side. She'd been putting in a lot of effort in training over the past two weeks and did phenomenal, but that was during training. This was definitely not training.“I don't have full access to my magic yet, but Mom's been teaching me. Our Pi Day victim has worked with my physical training. I'm not weak or useless. Face it, Vi, we all have a stake in seeing this bastard caught.”Damnit. She was right. He'd hurt her too. I knew that her nightmares had calmed down quite a bit, but they were still happening.

    ENZOMy heart was in my throat as my mate rushed out of the room to go after the fucker. I didn’t get any time to consider all of the ways that it could go wrong because there were at least thirty Sentinels with their guns aimed at us all.“I SAID TO STAND DOWN!” one of the Alphas shouted out.Was he that fucking stupid to realize that it was going to fail a second time if it’d so gloriously failed the first time? I still didn’t understand how they’d be so unaware of how fucked this situation had gotten. How had they not realized that two of their own had turned their backs on the Council’s cause and had a force of Sentinels under Alpha Bradley’s leadership instead of their own?“They’re loyal to Alpha Bradly instead of you all. It’s not going to do shit. Give me permission to get my people in here unless you all want to see how far their loyalty to the fucker goes,” I insisted.As if to prove my point, someone fired their gun at Alpha Amir. He dove out of the way just in time. He sho
