Chapter 32: Safe Space
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Nova 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

"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 Chapter 35: Calling Home
Lia listens to the phone ring as she attempts to reach her brother. She is surprised when it isn’t Nash that answers the phone.“Briar?”“Lia! Thank the goddess. Are you alright?”“Why do you have Nash’s phone? Where’s Nash?”“Nash is sleeping. Riley went to wake him.”“Riley is there too?”“Of course we are. Nash called me when you never came home. Word had gone through the Warriors that George was on the hell path because you ran off. He was hoping you had reached out to me. By the time Jael got ahold of him, we were already on our way. Lia, what-”

“Who was that with your brother?” Tyler asks. “Believe it or not, that was my sister, Briar, and her mate, Riley,” Lia says. "I sent you pictures when I was visiting them." "Because James sent you there to get away from that jerk." "While he recovered, yes," Lia nods. “So James has never liked this guy. He knew he was bad for you,” Tyler asks. "George nearly killed him. That is when he sent me away. I had fallen asleep at the pack house, so James put me in the delta suite. I had a nightmare and woke up not sure where I was. I had a panic attack, and Axel, George's wolf, went ballistic. Broke down James' door. James was more focused on protecting me than himself, and Axel nearly ripped his leg off. He hit an artery
The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter Chapter 37: The Luna's Worry
"Please, make yourself at home," Luna Colette smiles at her as they enter her office. She leads them to a small seating area next to a window where a coffee table holds what looks like tea and cookies. Tyler gives his mother a curious look. "I thought a nice soothing tea would help after all the excitement, especially your throat, dear,* she says sweetly to Lia, "but if you would prefer something else, we will happily get it for you." "Tea would be lovely. Thank you, Luna," Dahlia says with the utmost appreciation. Tyler's mother was so very thoughtful and kind. Lia could tell that she was an amazing Luna. She takes a seat on the sofa offered to her."You have all been so kind. I don't think I could possibly thank you all enough." "Your appreciation is more than enough," the Luna assures. "the fact you trust

Lia gets a text message later that day telling her that James, Nash, and Nix are on their way to the Valor Moon Pack. “What’s up?” Tyler asks when he sees her frowning at her phone. “Nash just gave me a heads up,” she shows him her phone. “Uncle James, Nix, and my brother are on their way here.” She watches as his eyes look off in the distance for a few seconds. He nods. “Mom’s already got some people setting up rooms for them. I guess James insisted on making sure you were okay in person. And Dad told him that was fine and to bring your brother with him.” “Oh, Nix is probably coming to keep an eye on my brother. I’m kind of surprised Roger or Cam isn’t coming with them,” Lia says.

Nash is out of the car before the others even open their doors. When he sees his sister and Tyler waiting just outside the packhouse doors, he is up the stairs and hugging his little sister before James or Nix reach the foot of the stairs. Lia laughs as she hugs him back. “I’m okay, Nash, really,” she assures him. “Nova made sure of it.” “I know,” Nash says as he steps back and gets a good look at his sister. “Just freaked me out when I got home after hearing you ran off and you weren’t there. I can’t lose you, too. You’re my baby sister. It’s my job to keep you safe.” “You can’t protect me every minute of every day, Nash,” she tells him. “Well, I’m always going to try,” he insists as the others join them. "Hi Nix," she greets her friend before she hugs h

"You wanted to see me, sir?""Yes. Come on in, Lia," Alpha Maxwell says. He gestures to a more comfortable sitting area in his office. She sits on the sofa he gestured to. He sits in the adjacent chair."My wife tells me that you are worried about Tyler," he says.She nods. "His temper, he…I don't know if it's just because I'm paranoid now and I pick up on these things, but I've noticed…" She could feel her doubts and fears creep in. The Alpha picks up on the change in her scent."It's alright," he assures her. "Whatever you say here stays between us unless you say otherwise. I have promised you your safety and this does not change anything.""Thanks," she says. "He just seems angrier than before."&n

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

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

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?”

"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

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

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

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

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.
