Samantha’s POV
Samantha’s POV“Excuse me, what did you just say?” I looked at Lucien as if he had lost his mind.Things had started off fine this morning. We had made our way downstairs and I was in the middle of cooking breakfast when I decided to ask him about the treaty. I don’t know for sure if it was the way he kept trying to dodge the question or the fact that we were still alone in the house but I knew there was more to the story than he was telling me.“There is a clause in the treaty that states neither pack can cross into the other’s territory without starting a war.”Once again he said it just like he was saying it was going to rain this afternoon. “Lucien he is your brother. Don’t you want to get to know him?”“No,” Lucien said looking up at me. “He seems decent enough for a rouge but there is nothing to tie me to him, Sam.”Shaking my head I turned my back on h
Lucien's POVAs we walked back to her house I kept stealing glances at Sam, her tear-streaked face brought pain to me every single time. Don't get me wrong, my inner wolf was furious at her. He was ready to snap but I couldn't. I would never turn on her again. I had control of my inner wolf, not the other way around. He obeyed me, for without me there was no him.Jax was standing on the porch awaiting us. "Did you get it," I asked?Nodding Jax handed over a worn leather journal, his eyes focused on my poor Luna who was obviously distressed. We had to figure this out. I didn't need my dad's rendition, I needed to read the vision in Violet's own hand.Walking up the steps Sam and I set on the porch swing and I handed over the journal to her. "This is every single one of your Aunt's visions. Some were incomprehensible and made no sense to anyone but her. Some have come true. The pack believed in her abilities and take her word as fact. I have no idea w
Samantha’s POVSeeing the tears in Lucien’s eyes was my undoing. Even in his own pain he wrapped his arms around me and held me until it was time for him to go. As he left I clutched Aunt Violet’s journal to my chest, I was determined to learn more about her. Maybe I could even decipher some of the visions others couldn’t.“I love you,” I sent Lucien as he reached the tree line.Turning back to look at me his voice appeared in my head, “I love you too. My Luna. My moon.”As he disappeared behind the dense trees I wiped more tears from my eyes. Lucien loved me, he loved me even after my betrayal to him. I would have lost my mind if he had told me he had kissed another girl but he, he had accepted it for what it was and moved on.Walking inside the house I went and made a cup of coffee before I opened Aunt Violet’s journal. Her handwriting was at times hard to read. She wrote wit
Samantha’s POVI sat on the swing looking out at the woods. I knew he was coming, I could feel him. The sun had set leaving nothing put stars to light up the night, the moon was nowhere to be seen. I wondered where Lucien was, I could feel him but he wasn’t approaching. Why would he send Nikko to me?The minute Nikko broke through the tree lines I felt a little twinge of excitement and I had to ball my hands at my side to not rush up to him. It was important for me that things go smoothly for him, I didn’t want him to lose everything he had gained because of me. Yet still, as he walked closer to me our eyes connected and that same forbidden bond was there.It drove me crazy. This place was turning me into someone I wasn’t and it scared me. Nikko paused at the foot of the steps looking up at me. “Are you ok?”I nodded unbarring my fits at my side, “yes. No. I don’t know Nikko I’m confused.”
Lucien’s POVAs I walked with my brothers to meet my father I couldn’t think how ironic it was. I was walking toward the one man I used to think the world of flanked with two of my former biggest enemies. One brother who had slept with my wife and one brother who was attracted to my mate. There had to be some destiny shit happening here.My father had us meet him at the old mills. I had always thought of it as a ghost town. It had been abandoned since the ’70s. Damien and I had been warned of the dangers but we had snuck down a couple of times. It had always creeped me out a little. The whole place creaked and the old building were falling down around themselves.“He’s close,” Damien said looking around.I nodded, “he’s hiding in the shadows up ahead. He has people stationed along the edge of the woods but I can’t read them. They aren’t ours.”As I turned to look at Nikko he shook hi
Lucien’s POV I lifted my arm shielding my eyes from the bright light that erupted out of nowhere. The Moon Goddess’s words still whispered into my ear. “Two brothers chose her fate. Two brothers have to sacrifice. One has to choose the night one the day.” I had no clue what she meant, what sacrifices I w
Lucien’s POVMy hands shook as I walked up the driveway to Sam. I could see her waiting for me on the porch and it made me nervous. Me. Lucien Blackwood. Alpha of the Blackwood pack. Nothing ever made me nervous. Nothing except that small witch that carried my child. She was everything to me, everything to us.I could feel her eyes on me before I was even close enough for her to see me. What did I say to her? What had she told Nikko? My mind was running away with itself. I was afraid she was going to leave. Leave the pack. Even after being blessed by the moon. She had told me this wasn’t her world. She didn’t understand it and didn’t feel like she fit in. How did I explain to her that she was the missing piece to this puzzle?Samantha walked down the steps meeting me. Looking down at her I had to hold my inner wolf in. He wanted me to remind her who’s she was right then and there. Remind her that she was ours. I couldn’t let h
Samantha’s POV Sitting in the rocking chair I shook my head listening to Lucien, Damien, Nikko, and Jax all argue about how to put the crib together. They all had their own opinions and almost all of them were wrong. Yesterday the diaper table had almost started another feud between the brothers and Jax always kept things stirred up. It would be funny if it wasn’t me having to break them apart. The boys got along for the most part but the last couple of days and their procrastination were taking its toll on all of them. Today was the last day they had to prepare everything. Tomorrow was the full moon. In the last month or two, Lucien had immersed me into his life. I’d finally been formally introduced to the entire pack. We had been talking to lawyers to legally adopt Jax. There was still a lot of unrest in the pack. Paul’s betrayal had stung deep. Nikko and his pack had been fully accepted in without too many arguments. No more borders, no more treaties, they

Samantha’s POVDamien and I sat on the porch looking out at the night waiting on any word from Lucien. The night was quiet but my mind was full of voices, voices that were not my own. I couldn’t place them, I couldn’t quiet them down. I was exhausted and it was starting to show.“The treaty has been signed,” Damien said looking over at me as he pushed the swing back off with his feet.“No war?”Damien shook his head, “not with Nikko, dad however is still unclear.”Frowning I looked up at the mood, “is Lucien really back normal?”Once again Damien shook his head, “yes. He snapped out of it the moment he sensed you were in danger. I think Nikko might have knocked him down a peg or two by taking you. Lucien has always thought he was untouchable.”
