TYSONFeeling Rose orgasm around me is the best physical feeling I’ve ever experienced and if I could, I would spend all day, every day buried balls deep inside of her. Alas, even shifter healing has its limitations and that isn’t possible. If it were, we’d have more pups running around the pack and a lot less work getting done because everyone would be spending all of their time fucking.After we right ourselves from our early evening fun, we walk down to dinner, chatting about the finalizations of our infiltration plans. We do it through our link though, I don’t want anyone overhearing anything just in case I have another traitor here.When we get to the dining room, I see Melinda and Cain sitting in a corner, cozying up to each other and talking quietly. I guess he sent Beta Rex home already, since I don’t see him. However, I do see Lloyd in the living room, just out of sight of Melinda and Cain in their seated positions. Rose an
TYSONAfter breakfast, we load up and head to Cain’s pack for our evaluation visit. That is what this is, an evaluation on whether or not we want to treaty with him. Rose is heavily leaning toward a yes, while I am still on the fence, wanting to see what they actually need before I decide. Thomas is an emphatic ‘no’ and he wanted Melinda to reject Cain for using Maddie as a bargaining chip. Niall is ambivalent and solely focused on the mission of preparing his warriors to get Maddie back. 'The rest of this is just fluff.' His words, not mine.I decide to leave both Thomas and Niall at the pack to keep things running and safe while we are gone. Thomas is livid that I won't allow him to come with us so he can scope out Melinda’s new pack. Knowing Thomas, he would be a little confrontational while on Pine Woods’ pack lands and I can’t have that from my Beta, despite him being overprotective of Melinda. Just because he doesn’t approve of his twin’s mate’s actions, doesn’t give him the righ
TYSONCain, Rex, the Gamma, Winston, their mates, Trevor and Trevor’s dad, Garrett are all with us. Add in our security detail and we have a large group strolling through Pine Woods territory.We’re getting warry looks from the pack members, but everyone is friendly and kind. Most everyone loses their apprehension though when they realize that Rose is Maddie’s mother. Maddie has had a profound impact on this pack, and everyone seems to love her. Including Trevor. Everyone may say that they were best friends, but this pup has developed a deep crush on our daughter. And I can tell he is fascinated with Rose too. A human mated to an Alpha, it is unprecedented and miraculous for most. I think, he thinks it is his job to protect her while in his territory. I can tell he has been raised as a warrior. It is adorable.When lunchtime rolls around, I can see Alpha Cain looking a little stressed.“Alpha Cain, I hope you don’t mind, but I had Mike call in a lunch order to a local, pack-friendly,
MADDIEAfter I get angry and storm out on Luna Odette, I head to the packhouse kitchen and grab me some apple juice. It is Mama’s favorite right now, or it was her favorite when I was taken. It makes me feel a little closer to her right now. I miss her so much. I hope she is okay.I sip on my glass, deep in thought, as I watch the kitchen Omegas bustling about and preparing lunch. Today looks to be simple sandwich wraps. No one seems to be nervous about my being in here. I like that they aren’t nervous around me, even if I am the Alpha heir.“Head Omega Bette, may I help?” I ask. I miss helping in the kitchen. All the workers freeze to look at me. “What? Did I say something wrong?”Bette approaches me and I can feel her fear. “Alpha Madison, thank you for the offer, but we cannot allow that. Alpha Kent would be very upset if he came in here and saw you doing kitchen chores. We… we would be punished for it.” She says the last on a whisper and I sigh.“I understand. I’m sorry. I don’t wa
MADDIE“I like the way you did that. And thank you, Alpha Madison. Both of those girls have bullied and harassed my pups relentlessly. My complaints to Alpha, Beta and Gamma have fallen on deaf ears. I hope you got through to them.” Kevin says quietly on the way back to the packhouse.“How old are your pups?”“I have three. Greta is 13, Maddox is 9 and my baby Bruno is 2.”“Well Kevin, I am trying to change how things are done here. I really hope things change for the better.” I tell him as I feel the hairs on the back of my neck raise again. I stop and look around.“I feel it too, Alpha Madison. Alpha Kent has been keeping us from patrolling ‘no man’s land’ and I think that is where we are being watched from.”“Any idea who it is?” I ask, curious as to why Kent has kept his men from investigating and solving the problem.“I think it’s warriors from another pack. I only smelled the scent faintly in the last few months while on patrol, but it is a scent I am familiar with. I came from
TYSONDamn this week has gone by slowly! Rose and I have gotten plenty of things done, but as the days have progressed, the anxiety in the air has been stifling. Rose has taken to pacing her office when she’s not occupied with work or school. She’s worrying about the rescue mission, coming up with numerous scenarios where things can go wrong. I have to constantly reassure her that our warriors know what they are doing. This isn’t our first rodeo.Plus, she’s pregnant and the extra stress isn’t helping her. Telling her these things doesn’t seem to help, but my touch always regulates her heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. So, I’ve been putting the mate bond to good use this week, trying to keep Rose calm.The day after we went to visit Pine Woods, I received an email from Luna Odette, Kent’s mate. I was shocked to see it in my inbox, not to mention a little hesitant about reading it. When I did, I think my eyes bugged out of my head a bit. I cannot believe that she is choosing to
TYSONThe first to arrive is Alpha Cain along with his Beta and just a handful of warriors, including Garrett. He’s brought along maybe ten in total. I don’t begrudge him this. His pack is very small, so him brining ten of his maybe fifty trained warriors is quite a lot. He can’t exactly leave his people unprotected, no one can. And I know he is trying hard to make up for keeping Maddie a secret and to prove that he can be a good ally. Mating Melinda has helped with the olive branch as well. We both want this to work out, for her sake.When Cain steps up to the front steps, Rose quickly envelops him in a hug. He’s shocked at first but then hugs her back gently. Rose has a real soft spot for Cain, and I’d find it annoying, but she explained that he’s like a younger brother. She’s very protective of him and she feels like he needs to be shown that he’s appreciate and wanted. Affection isn’t something he was ever given as a child, so she’s trying to make him feel loved now, but in a sibli
ROSEDawn comes both too quickly and not fast enough for my liking. I don’t want Tyson to have to leave this morning. I want him to stay safe in our bed while I enjoy his warmth on my body.But I need my baby back. Maddie needs to come home to me, to our new amazing life here in River View. To be among people who are like her, who will love her, accept her, and respect her. I know she has found a little niche there at both Blue Meadow and Pine Woods, but this is her home and where she belongs until she is old enough to accept her birthright and lead her pack, should she want it. She deserves an actual childhood, and that is not what she is getting with Kent.I’ve watched all the videos Sullivan and his team have sent over. The Maddie in those videos isn’t the Maddie that I know and have raised for seven years. She is a mini adult, being strong and brave like I told her to. But she shouldn’t have to be, no matter what her future holds.Tyson does his best to distract me from my fear and
MADDIE—EPILOGUE THREE10 YEARS LATERI stand in the master bedroom of the newly renovated Alpha suite of Blue Meadow’s packhouse. Today is my 18th birthday and also the day I take my place as Alpha of my pack. I stare at myself in the full-length mirror and think about everything that has happened in the last decade to prepare me for this moment and the life I have ahead of me.I graduated from Zeus Academy at the age of 10. I attended college classes online through the University of Arizona. It wasn’t the Ivy League like everyone expected from me; those didn’t offer a self-paced program or enough online courses for me to get my degrees. I didn’t want to separate myself from my family to attend university, so I chose a less prestigious route that worked the best for me. I have zero regrets with my choice in schools.In eight years of education post-high school, I’ve earned four bachelor’s degrees, two master’s and one PhD. I’ve also studied diligently with Tyson on how to run a pack an
ROSE—EPILOGUE TWOIt’s been 6 months since I delivered Nolan into this world. He has grown like a damn weed and has become the center of our little universe. None of us can get enough of him and his baby scent.Both Tyson and I have retrofitted our offices to accommodate an infant including changing tables, swings, refrigerators, diapers, wipes, spit up rags and pacifiers galore. All the necessities for having an infant. And I can say, without a doubt, Nolan is the easiest going baby I’ve ever experienced. He rarely cries and he’s always happy, as long as he’s being held. He loves skin to skin contact, so much that he rarely wears any clothes. Mads and I always wear spaghetti strap shirts when we’re holding him, and Tyson just takes his own shirt off.It was hilarious when we first figured out that he likes skin so much, Tyson walking around the packhouse shirtless. Granted no one said anything to him about it, but I had the hardest time not whisking him away for sexy time. I mean, all
TYSON – EPILOGUE ONEThe last three months, post war, have been absolute hell! Yeah, I said it. Hell. Getting Blue Meadow back on its feet has been a huge challenge in and of itself. Much worse than most of the other territories I’ve taken over throughout the years. I honestly kept so much from both Maddie and Rose. Neither of them needed to know the intricate details of the rebuild. They were both getting over the trauma and horrors of the battle itself. I didn’t want to worry them.Kent, that worthless piece of crap, really did a number on this pack, it’s health and its finances. I had to pay over three million dollars to a mob pack in Las Vegas, for both Blue Meadow and Pine Woods’ debts. The last thing I wanted was for the mob to demand parts of the pack or worse, them going to the council for payment. I want to keep the council out of any and all of my affairs, as much as possible. They have proved, repeatedly, that they can’t be trusted to do their jobs.I made that trip to Vegas
ROSE“I thought I was going to lose you yesterday, Rose. Don’t do that to me again. You are my whole world.” He says as he slows his thrusts, showing me how much he loves me. I open my eyes and see Zeus shining out with him. I cup their cheeks and bring their mouth to mine. I kiss them with all the love I have within me. We continue slowly but with passion until we both explode in delicious orgasm.“I hope our sex continues to be this amazing in the years to come.” I tell him as we separate from each other.“Rose, from what I understand from other mated couples, it just gets better and better.”“I’m not sure how it can get better, but I look forward to learning.” I say with a sassy smirk over my shoulder as I step into the water. Tyson joins me in the water and does what he always does. He washes me and kisses the scars I have left. Apparently, they are much smaller than they once were.When I get out of the shower, I turn to look at my back and I gasp at what I see. The main lines are
ROSEWatching Tyson battling Kent is one of the scariest things I’ve ever had to witness. Kent looks awful and I feel horrible for his wolf, being saddled with such an atrocious human spirit. I know Tyson will take him down, but I’m still scared that something will happen to him that he can’t heal from. Tyson is my everything. My other half. I know I will live on should he perish during this battle, but it would be for Maddie and our baby only. My soul would be shattered, never to live like I did before. He has to pull through. He just has to.George holds me close, giving me comfort as we watch Tyson fighting Kent. As it progresses, my worry lessens somewhat. Kent isn’t fighting well, and he’s not healing from his minor injuries. I hope this speeds up because I hate seeing him suffer. Despite all the shit he’s put me through, I know his wolf doesn’t deserve anything long and drawn out.I breathe a sigh of relief when Tyson pulls Kent’s heart out of his chest, thankful that the man re
TYSONThe moment I see Maddie jump toward Rachel; I know it's Infinity up front and in control. Her eyes are glowing a bright green-gold-yellow and the angry expression is one I don’t think I’ve ever seen on Maddie’s face before. Plus, I can’t smell her on the wind like I can my Rose. I launch forward when I see Rachel’s eyes unfocus in that split second when Infinity lands on her back, knowing I’ll only have a moment to attack with Infinity’s distraction. What I’m not expecting is Infinity to kill Rachel in that moment. I know Infinity is an ancient wolf spirit, she’s fast on her feet and I know she’s killed in her past lives, but to see the blood of a kill on my sweet, baby Maddie’s hands, is beyond shocking.Rose, however, doesn’t even flinch at seeing Infinity toss Rachel’s heart to the ground or her splattered in Rachel’s blood. Nor does she pause with the gravity of meeting Infinity. Rose has really embraced the wolf shifter world completely and totally. I couldn’t be prouder of
INFINITYMaddie and Kevin step out of the dungeon into a warzone. Both of their eyes blow wide at the scene, and I can feel Maddie’s panic. We knew this was coming, but I don’t think she anticipated how ugly it was going to be. I lift my head and I smell the rotting garbage scent of rogues. It seems Maddie’s father knows no bounds. Humans, most likely hunters, for kidnapping, rogues as mercenaries, slavery, killing his mate and sexual deviancy. He really does need to be put down.The panic coming from Maddie hasn’t lessened as we look around on where to go and not be noticed. I have been saving up my strength the last few days, so I pull Maddie back and take full control. She doesn’t fight me on it and that tells me she is very overwhelmed right now. She puts on a good show, but the constant state of alertness and feeling the danger around her, she is slowly breaking. After this morning, seeing Odette killed, and then staying neutral to save Kevin, she’s at her max for today.“Rest Mad
ROSEI am flying across the roads and highways trying to get to Blue Meadow as quickly as I can. George and Ike are holding on for dear life and I think I can hear George whispering a prayer to Selene when my car catapults into the air. I’ve maintained my 110mph through most of the drive which has kept the guys in high anxiety mode. We don’t get too far off the pavement with that larger bump, but the way down is rough, and we bounce several times on the landing.“Luna, please slow down. The rest of the team can’t keep up. Plus, it feels like you’re trying to kill us.” Ike pleads with me, looking a little green.“Then they should drive faster. And I am not trying to kill you.”“Their SUV isn’t designed to drive that fast, plus they can’t take turns like this car doeeeeeees!” His voice goes higher pitched as I take a curve much faster than he’s comfortable with.“Well, you’re getting your wish. Wolves directly ahead and they’re fighting. I’m going to have to slow down. Do you know which
TYSONI cut the link to Rose as soon as Zeus and I tell her that we love her. I know she is worried about all of this, and it is her first experience with a shifter battle, but I know I’ll be fine. Zeus is a powerful, ancient wolf. He will decimate dozens before we hit a real challenge to our strength. Although, the biggest challenge will be to try to minimize the lives lost. These warriors we are going up against will be Maddie’s pack members one day in the future. I don’t want to kill any of them indiscriminately.It takes a few hours to run to Blue Meadow. We stopped running miles ahead of their territory and proceeded with stealth. My first warriors took out their border patrol silently, with darts laced with a mixture of wolfsbane and water hemlock. Again, we’re trying to not take anyone out needlessly. Most pack members of trash Alphas are only following orders. They don’t necessarily believe in the orders. Killing people that are just doing their jobs is what crap Alphas do.On
