The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 27: Future Alpha's Birthday
Tyler hugs Lia and Jael when he sees them."Welcome to the Valor Moon Pack," he grins.They both tell him happy birthday. George clears his throat. "George," Tyler greets, enthusiasm is gone. Lia glares at her mate. "Happy Birthday, Alpha Tyler," George forces a tight-lipped smile. "Thank you," Tyler says. It's a performative formality. Something he was increasingly familiar with as his time as a pack-leading alpha nears. "Come on," the young alpha smiles at his friends. Let me show you around. After a quick tour, Tyler was called away to talk to some of the other guests at his party. George unceremoniously dropped down at the assigned seat at an overly fancy table. Lia rolled her eyes and sat down on her seat beside him. She was Jael had easily made friends with some of Tyler's childhood friends. She got along well with Tyler's future beta, Sam."Could you at least pretend to not be miserable?" she glares at him. "I'm just trying to keep Axel from turning this into a blood-," Ge
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 28: Axel's Reward
"So what is our reward?" George says as they walk towards the Haven River packhouse. She takes his hand and leads him toward the forest. It had become their routine, but Lia had finally agreed to let Nova have her mate any way she wished, short of marking, which was still off the table. she trusted Nova, but she still goes to the farther part of Nova's mind as she shifts. She didn't really want to think about it. She just wanted to close off and zone out. And she does.George is quick to shift. Nova leads Axel playfully deeper into the woods. Nova nuzzles him repeatedly before Axel seems to get the idea. He howls in excitement, and a playful chase begins. Nova eventually lets him catch her. And Axel gets what he has wanted since he first caught their scent. He gets to mate with his goddess-given mate. The wolf was over the moon. As the sun begins to set, they return to their things, dress, and he wal
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 29: Best Friend's Birthday
Lia drops down on Jael's bed."Rise and shine birthday girl," she says. "Your dad says it's time to get up, or you'll be late for school.""Snooze," Jael grumbles, hitting Lia with a pillow.Lia laughs. "Very childish for your 18th birthday. Come on. I have a surprise for you."Lia gets up and hides something behind her back."Fine, I'll get up." She eyes her best friend. "What do you have?"Lia holds a sleek leather jacket that Jael had been eyeing at the store."Shut up!""Never," Lia grins."But this cost like way too much!" Jael stood
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 30: Surprise Visitors
Lia threw open the door to Jael's house after training. Nash had joined them when they stopped at Lia's to change since the surprise was already gone. Jael would still fake it, for Saige's sake. Lia still hadn't told her she would still be surprised."Surprise!" Everyone shouted. Saige ran up and hugged Jael."HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the little girl practically yelled in her ear."Oh wow, thank you!" Jael beamed. "Did you do all this?""Daddy and Nix helped," Saige grinned. "They did too!"She pointed over at Briar and Tyler."Shut up!" She set Saige down and went over to hug them. "What are you guys doing here?"
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 31: Untrustable
A week later, she finds herself in the beta suite alone with George. He said they were just going to watch a movie in his room and hang out. They were kissing. That had become just something they did when alone. George rarely wanted to talk. Not that she really had much to tell him. He wasn't a big fan of Jael, and most of the people in her life weren't a fan of him. So she tends to let the pull of the bond lead them into a make-out session. She hadn't really thought much about what he had said when he walked her home after the wolves had their fun until he pinned her to the bed, and his hands were under her shirt. "George," she started to say. "I know you feel what I feel. Why do you fight it?" His hands slid lower along her stomach. "It's not that. I'm just-"
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 32: Safe Space
Nova runs until she reaches the edge of pack territory and only stops because she doesn't have permission from the alpha to leave. She paces the boundary as the sun goes down.“He’s going to come after us,” Nova states. “Or patrol will find us.”"I thought you said he couldn't hurt us because he's our mate?" Lia asks from deep inside Nova's mind."He shouldn’t want to," Nova replies. "That is not how the bond is supposed to work.""I know he was mad I wanted to finish school before being marked and Tyler's party…""Yes, Tyler," Nova says and takes off in a full sprint. “We will be safe there.”"We don't have permis
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 33: Under the Protection of the Valor Moon Pack
"That son of bitch!" Tyler growled after she told them what had happened and how she never was really comfortable around her mate and his family. He’d been pacing the room for most of the story. He had been livid when he saw the bruises on her neck and wrists. The details just had him more on edge. Valens had wanted to keep her here the last time she was there. Well, his wolf was getting his wish now. No way they were going to let her go back to that psycho. He would probably kill her, and Tyler was not going to let that happen."Tyler," his mother, Luna Colette, cautions before looking at her son's friend. "You will be safe here.""Nova thinks they'll just try to blame it on the fact I said I wanted to wait until I graduate to be marked that it stressed his wolf. They are going to blame me or sweep it under the rug. But she also knows James and Lun
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 34: Safety is the priority
Lia and Tyler enter the Alpha’s office to find Alpha Maxwell and his team deep in discussion. “Good, you’re here,” the Alpha says when he sees them. “First thing first.” He gestures for one of the men to give her a box. Lia takes it from the man and sees it is a new phone. “You got me a new phone?” She lets Tyler take it from her and turns it on. “Charged and ready to go,” Tyler nods. “Nice, Dad.” “Thank you, Alpha Maxwell, but you really didn’t need to do that, sir.” “It is for your safety, Lia. I assure you. You are our guest. And since we cannot rely on a mind link to ensure your safety, my Luna and I agreed that you should have a way to communicate beyond face-to-face interactions. You may need Tyler’s assistance to get the contacts of the people you know you can trust back home, but it should put your family’s minds at ease to know they have a way to contact you. Although I would limit the number of people you contact.” “Of course, sir. Thank you, sir.” “I also need to

The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Epilogue
Luna Colette watched with pride as not only was her son being declared Alpha of the Valom Moon Pack, but the love of his life was by his side and being declared the pack Luna. They had been married in a small ceremony made up of members of Valor Moon and Haven River packs. Dahlia had been a beautiful bride who had happily given her hand to Tyler but sworn herself to the Valor Moon Pack in the process. Colette had never seen her son exude so much love and happiness. But today was a close second. She watches as the new Alpha swears his officers. Nix was being sworn in as his delta. Sam and Wendall had already sworn their oath of fealty and taken their place beside the new Alpha and Luna as Beta and Gamma. The new Gamma’s father had been one of Maxwell's most trusted advisors in the pack. Wendall had been chosen when Nash had turned down the role. The new Luna’s brother had wanted to stay to take Lia's spot alongside James as pack liason. The ceremony was officially wrapping up. "Did we
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 52: Where the heart leads
Dahlia runs and hugs Tyler as soon as she sees him. The young Alpha catches her easily and hugs her tight. Inhaling her scent and smiling. Valens howls in his mind at having Nova so close."I missed you," she says. And she means it. Once she decided what future she wanted. What her heart wanted. She had wanted to just run to him, again."Missed you too," he smiles. "And not that I'm complaining, but what are you doing here?" He sets her back on her feet as he asks. He hadn't expected her to visit so soon. They both had to finish school and she'd already missed days."I've been thinking about it and…I pick you."Tyler had not expected anything like that. He studies her face for any hint of doubt. "Really? You'll give up everything you worked for in your pack, to be
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 51: Father/Daughter talks
Lia knocks on the open office door, and James grins as she walks in.“How’d your first day back go, Petal?” James says as he gets up from his desk. She gives him a hug.“I have a lot of homework, but Roger said I could skip training tomorrow to work on it,” she tells him.“That’s nice of him,” James says as she takes her usual seat. James leans against his desk. “Not that I’m complaining, but what’s up? I’m assuming you’re here for more than just procrastinating on said homework? Though, for the record, you are always welcome here or pretty much anywhere I am.”“Has Nash talked to you about the whole gamma thing?”
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 50: Family time
"You're home!" Saige runs over and hugs Lia as soon as Cam sets her down inside her and Nash's home."I am. Hi Cam." Lia laughs, scooping her up and setting her against her hip. "Nash is too.""Nashy!" Saige shouts, basically into Lia's ear, when she sees him. Lia flinches. Nova, despite the volume, chuckles. The pup was so happy it was contagious."Hey Kid," Nash grins, he ruffles the 4-year-old's hair as he goes past her into the living room. Saige giggles. "Cam." Nash nods a greeting."Glad to see you both back on one piece," Cam says."Got iffy there for a bit," Nash admits. "George wouldn't have if Soren had his way.""Nash…" Lia shakes her head as Na
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 49: Coming Home Again
Jael squeals and nearly tackles Lia as she walks through the doors of their school."I thought you weren't going to be here until lunch?" Jael smiles. She had missed her best friend."I've already missed too many classes. I don't want to fall behind," Lia tells her. "And I missed you guys.""Good, because everyone missed you too." The bell rang and they had to hurry off to class.Roger grins as Jael and Lia walk onto the training grounds. "How are you feeling, Lia?""Much better," she smiles and hugs him."How's the family?""Saige has perfected her pout after how many times she was told you still were visitin
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 48: Alpha Talk
As that is happening, the Alpha of the Valor Moon Pack approaches the remaining members of the Haven Moon Pack, Alpha Lars, Beta Oliver who is holding his son, his daughter is with Gamma Beckett, and a few Warriors."I am so sorry for what has happened," Alpha Lars tells him. "We never expected things to get this out of hand. We were hoping to handle this internally, but we are grateful for your assistance. I hope this will not damage future relations between our packs and the alliance."Maxwell nods. "Alpha Lars, we appreciate your haste and handling of this particular situation," Alpha Maxwell starts, sending an unamused look at the beta and his son. "I know this cannot have been an easy situation to handle considering it involved the families of both your Beta and Delta." He looks back towards his packhouse where his family is now safe inside. "I don't
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 47: Consequences
Lia thanks him and moves closer, but not too close to where Beta Oliver stands with his cuffed children."I'm sorry, Dahlia. I should have seen you were struggling when you were in my home," Oliver says. "I hope someday you can forgive that failing on my part." She gives a tight-lipped nod and he accepts that as a positive step forward. She turns to face George."Don't do this," George says. "You belong to me.""She belongs to no one," Tyler says. "She is her own person. A real mate would respect that.""I am her mate!" George shouts.James goes to interject for everyone's safety but Lia stops him."Not anymore," she states. "I, Dahlia Stuart of the Haven River Pack, reject

"Petal," James says. "Come with me for a minute.""Okay," she says. She looks at Tyler. He just nods and mouths for her to go on.James leads her to a bench not far from the entryway stairs. "What's going to happen now? Katie said the arrangements are already made."James nods. "They are. No more time is to be wasted. George is being sent back home.""Nova said they'd sweep it under the rug," Lia says."Oh no, he is going to face justice for what he has done to you, both Lunas insist. You heard Alpha Maxwell back there. The only reason he isn't being dealt with here is Oliver has agreed his children have gone too far and risked the safety of both packs this time. And he will abide by any decision the alphas decide. Oliv
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 45: Broken Things
Jael and Briar rush to her when they reach the pack house. "Let me see you, are you okay?" Briar frantically looks her over. Doing the same with Nash when she is satisfied Lia is okay. Nash tries to wave her off but Briar isn't having it and with a sigh he lets her check. He missed his sister and if this made her feel better. He'd do it."I believe these are yours." Lia looks over to see Beckett holding out her locker and bracelet. Lia gasps."You found them?""Of course, James' wolf would have tracked your scent through the wood if Jael hadn't stopped him. Found them very quickly. Quite paternal that wolf.""That's Gunnar for you." She smiles, but it falls as he carefully hands her the broken remains of her jewelry.
