50 - Kennedy“I don’t know what I am allowed to tell you. A lot of your questions are going to be better answered by the Alpha.” He pinches the bridge of his nose, but I can’t tell if he is frustrated with me or the situation.“The Alpha? Who spends so much time with me and enjoys long drawn out conversations?” I raise my eyebrow again as I slide into the booth and look around. “Speaking of, is anyone else joining us, or are we the only ones who didn’t eat?”“Everyone else is fine. You will always have hidden warriors around as backup. That is protocol by the way. Sometimes even the Alpha will patrol if we think there is a threat. He will want to keep you as safe as possible and that may include luring a potential problem away while it looks like you are just going about your day.”“I’m sorry for that by the way.”“What are you sorry about?”“I feel like you got the short end of the stick with me. You had to sit out in the hallway all night, had to run down a rogue wolf and take him
51 - Ryker“Bossman. Give me something, man. My ears are bleeding and she knows it.” Josh whines. “We could use her for torture tactics. Seriously. Anything. Let me tell her something. I could talk to her about f*cking stickers for all I care, just let me talk to her.”“No. I don’t know enough about her to know if she can be trusted with the most basic information. And all of you are quick to give her whatever she wants. Once she gets you talking, who knows what she will throw into the conversation. She already got Bennet at breakfast this morning.”“You mean on their date?” Danny throws in. Why he thinks now is a good time to piss me off, I do not know.“It wasn’t a f*cking date. And she got him to spill her entire security detail in a matter of seconds.”“That is something she should know about. Especially if something happens to me. She needs to know there is someone else close to feel safe.” Bennet is too gentle with her. She should just know that people are set to protect h
52 - KennedyAs we get back to my car, Danny is in the front seat and Jeeves is back to driving.“Jeeves! How was your run? Pleasant and uneventful I hope. Good to hear. Good to hear. Did you enjoy your time away from me? Catch up with any friends? Fight off any mean old rogues in my honor? No? That’s too bad. Maybe next time. I’m so glad we had this talk.” Danny is at least laughing and Jeeves is trying hard not to. Greta just looks confused. “Insanity is starting to kick in and I am having conversations out loud with myself since no one is allowed to talk to me. The silent treatment order is my favorite so far. It’s so great to be accepted and befriended by everyone. I feel so welcome and wanted by the warm reception.” I stick my tongue out and cross my eyes at her and she laughs.“It won’t be this bad when we get home. Security has to be tight and focused while we travel. I know that sucks for you, but maybe this will help.” She holds up my backpack. I don’t even know where
53- RykerThe rest of the drive is uneventful, thank the Goddess. I head straight for my office with Josh, letting Greta and Bennet get Kennedy settled back in her room. Another thing my wolf protested. He wants her with us, wants to help her heal from her scrapes. But she said she was fine, so I’m not worried about it. If she was really hurt and needed us, she would have said something when I asked. Edward’s pack seems to be settling into their new routine and other small pack problems are working themselves out. Rory, Nathan and Don are on board with the school, training facility and hospital outpost and are prepared to work around Claude. At least a few things are going my way.We take turns using the shower in my office, discussing the attack and what it could have meant. I didn’t tell Kennedy, but she wasn’t wrong. If they were after her specifically they would have tried to take her from the vehicle when it stopped. But, they attacked all four vehicles equally. But if
54 - KennedyI must be f*cking crazy or just in the process of losing my mind. After leaving Ryker and Bennet standing like morons outside Ryker’s office, I ran straight up to my room to change fully intending to take the run I want to take outside in the woods. But, as I was changing, I decided that was too predictable. If I am stuck here for the foreseeable future with a tyrant who just likes to have his way, I am going to be as unpredictable as possible.I throw my hair up in a ponytail and crack my door to make sure there isn’t anyone secretly spying on me in the hallway yet. When I see the coast is clear, I walk out and start a fast walk down one side of the hallway touching everything I can, lightly leaving a scent. When I get past the main stairway I circle back repeating the path a couple times so they can’t tell which way I am going. Then I head over to Ryker’s secret stairs. He hasn’t used them in a while. His cologne is almost nonexistent as I head down to the kitche
55 - Kennedy“Your Moon Goddess and Alpha think otherwise.” I turn back to Robin. I need to get away from Amy or my first, and probably last, act as Luna will be homicide.“You probably drugged him or something. Once it wears off he’ll throw you out with the rest of the trach.”Robin’s face twitches just a fraction, but she schools it quickly. Ooh, I need to take notes from her. “Amy, you are addressing the Luna, you should be more respectful. You were also told not to wander around the packhouse.”“But she just said not to call her ‘Luna.’ I was just following orders. I’m looking for Ryker, we were supposed to get together this morning.” Amy simpers and I almost lunge at her. Jealousy washes over my whole body. Logically I know she’s lying, but her words still hurt and piss me off. It takes everything I have to stay rooted to my spot, but this little b*tch isn’t going to just walk in here and act like she’s better than me. She certainly doesn’t need any ammo against me, and bea
56 - RykerIt’s been a week from hell. Well, weeks really, but this one has been the worst by far. She’s in my head and at the forefront of my thoughts at all times. I have had a semi since she came storming into my office demanding to run our first day here. I couldn’t even get off with anyone who tried, and they tried really, really hard. I don’t think I have ever had this much pent up energy in my entire life.My wolf and I had a huge fight the first time I let a woman go down on me since bringing Kennedy home. He was so pissed that while her brunette curls were bobbing up and down on my c*ck and I was picturing my mate’s blonde silky strands draped over me, he started planting images in my head of old men, gnarled old wolves and my mother just to kill the mood completely. Then he laughed for hours after. I just pulled the she-wolf off me and walked out and left her very confused and sitting in the middle of the floor while I had a limp d*ck dangling in between my legs.I have b
57 - KennedyI may not be able to do anything about the caveman behavior Ryker is throwing at me right now, or my traitorous body’s reaction to it, but that doesn’t stop me from trying. I keep pounding on his back and just yell nonsense trying to get him to put me down. It is also helping me pretend to not notice the absolutely toned, naked muscle flexing and moving under me. I notice there are no tan lines. I have half a mind to smack his ass and see what happens. Would it jiggle at all? I shake my head. I’m not doing a very good job ignoring him. I’m not su*cidal though and I can not guarantee he won’t throw me back into the woods and leave me there.He hasn’t said a word to me the whole walk back, and it wasn’t a short walk. I may have a bruise on my hip from his shoulder digging in. I keep trying to pry my legs apart, he has them clamped together and that and the motion of his shoulder is giving my cl*t the rubdown of a lifetime. I may come just riding his shoulder like this. He
41 - FinnI’m trying to figure out why both the Luna and Alpha are being so cryptic about this. I mean, at least Kennedy told me she wants to give us a house, which is insane, but still something to work with. If I wasn’t being weighed down I would be tossing and turning trying to figure out what they are up to. But as it is, I am warm and comfortable and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I am right where I am meant to be.I doze listening to the soft snores of both girls in my arms.“FIIIIINNNNN!!!!” I launch off the couch and over the back ready for a fight after Trinity’s yell. Eyes wide scanning for what made her call for me like that only to be met with laughter. “It worked, Bennet!” She squeals happily.“Someone is wound awfully tight after sleeping so long.” I continue to scan, ignoring him, blinking to get the dryness out of my eyes, asshole.I see Bennet and Trinity sitting at the island next to Gabriel and Peyton. “Where’s Landon? And what were you screaming
40 - FinnSeveral happy hours later we head back into check on the kids and attempt to find a place to sleep. Unfortunately for Bennet, the couch in the living room is it. He can’t be mad at us though, this packhouse was not designed like Ryker’s in Dark Moon, a mansion that holds a hundred people. I actually really enjoy it here. Every space is used, nothing wasted or unnecessary. I fall asleep with Greta tucked in between me and the back of the couch thinking about all of her concerns with the kids. Hell, they’re my concerns too. The bonds we have with all the kids, but Trinity specifically, are unlike anything I have experienced before. Even as a pup when Nan took me in, I never felt the pull to her like I feel to that little girl. I drift off thinking about what I want next in this life, now that I have finally achieved the only thing I ever wanted…a home.My dreams are lucid. Greta and I walking hand in hand, Trinity running around our legs in a field. They are both laughing and
39 - FinnToo excited to do anything else Greta and I cuddle on the couch talking into the early hours of the morning. Ryker said he has ideas of how to make this happen quickly for us, but he needed to catch some zzz’s before Rosie wakes up from her latest nap. He’s doing his best to support his mate through these early days, which I commend and envy him a little.Greta sighs deeply, but doesn’t say anything. I feel a wash of sadness come over her through the bond, but she is curled up against my side with her head tucked under my chin so I can’t see her expression.“Hey,” I whisper, squeezing her hip gently, “Talk to me.”Another sigh and then a sniffle and I can’t take the suspense anymore. I pull her up into my lap so she’s forced to look at me even though she keeps her eyes closed like it’s going to stop me from seeing how red they are.“Greta, babe, you have to talk to me.” I plead. “What’s going on in that stubborn head?”She’s trying to calm her breathing, but it's ragged and
Hi all. I apologize for being absent the last week. I was a much needed break from all things electronic and somewhat out of my control. I am back, diving into the conclusion to The Warrior's mate and concepts for new stories to follow once I am done here.I appreciate all of the readers who have been following me since the beginning and any new readers just joining in.
38 - FinnThe living room is good and full of people when we finally make it inside. I am not a fan of crowds, but there is so much excitement around the birth of Kennedy and Ryker’s baby, I can’t help but smile along with everyone else. Trinity wiggles out of my arms, but grabs my hand in her tiny little fingers. She is clearly in charge here.I look over my shoulder at Greta, but all I get is a smile and a shoulder shrug as she walks off towards the kitchen and I am dragged closer to the crowded couch where I can see the top of Kennedy’s head through the mass of wellwishers surrounding her.“Come on Finn, look at, look at!” Trinity moves like our bodies are the same size and I can wade through the legs of adults like she does. “Come on Finn!” She says, annoyed at the slow pace. A few people move at her fireceness, smiling at the demands of a determined child.When I finally get through, the sight stops me in my tracks. Kennedy is glowing holding a tiny pink blanket. All I can make
37 - FinnGreta takes me by Ryker’s packhouse to shower and change. The perks of having clothes and supplies at my fingertips still surprises me sometimes. Cindy, this tiny little kitchen omega, packs us meals to go and we start our drive.“Uh…so how is this going to work?” I ask tentatively. We obviously have the physical part of being mated under control. Greta has even let me hold her hand most of the drive.“What do you mean?” She asks, but it’s not convincing. I know she’s been thinkin logistics too.“Well we are mated now and there is no way I’m going to sleep separate from you, but my apartment won’t fit you, me and up to four kids. Will your place fit all of us, or do we need to talk to Ryker about something else?” Her eyes go wide. Maybe she wasn’t thinking about the same logistics I was.“What makes you think that we are going to have up to four kids with us?” Her husky voice squeaks and it’s adorable. I can’t help but smile at how nervous she is. Kids were never on her
36 - GretaI am so full of mixed emotions. On the one hand I want to beat Janelle’s ass. I never really liked her anyway. Her and Amy were always too good to do any actual work or put effort into anything but chasing the leadership. Now I know why, but it doesn’t make them any less irritating. She will suffer for all of their crimes even if she isn’t the brains behind this operation. Everyone in this pack will put the most responsibility on her. It’s one hundred percent personal.I’m pulled out of my thoughts by a kiss to the neck. I suck in a breath at the sensation. “They have this handled. Grant said to get out of here before he throws up.” Finn whispers against the shell of my ear causing a wave of goosebumps to trail over my whole body. I just now notice we aren’t alone with Janelle and her other teammates. Finn really is distracting, I’m going to have to watch out for that.Finn lifts me by my thighs and I naturally wrap them around his waist when he starts walking. It seems s
35 - FinnI can’t even begin to describe how good Greta feels in my arms. But I can’t think about that right now, we have a fight to finish. So I thread my fingers through her hair and kiss her gently one more time before pushing her off my lap and standing. She takes the hint and then takes my hand and we both run into the forest or we can still hear growls and snapping of wolves fighting.“They knew we were coming.“ Greta says, a little bit more worry than I’m used to in her voice. “I know, I think your Warriors got played.“ I say exsasperated. Ryker’s team is so good though, I don’t know how it is possible. “Could they be using any of your old hideouts or old methods to get into the pack?” She asks. “I don’t think so, because Amy‘s dad was very secretive about how we moved from place to place. There was a lot of magic involved, so I don’t think anyone actually knew how and where we were traveling until we finally got to where he wanted us to stop.“ “He really pushed for the magi
34 - FinnWe are a tangle of fur and fangs. The stench of this rogue is enough to make me want to gag, but I continue to bite at him. He’s fast but sloppy. His claws don’t hit their mark because he’s fighting angry, not controlled. His wolf rears back and mine lunges to the side and whips around to grab his flank. He rips at the muscle and we are rewarded with a howl as he hits the ground and tries to limp away. There’s no way my wolf is standing for that. He jumps on his back and bites at his throat again and again, until he finally collapses.When my wolf feels the pulse in his neck completely stop he drops him to the ground and we go in search of our mate. I hear the sounds of fighting all around me. This group wasn’t dumb, but I’m not sure what their plan is. They haven’t gotten past our defenses to get further into Dark Moon. I haven’t heard of any demands of threats or what they want. I keep following the sounds and my pull to Greta. Another two grey wolves dodge out towards m
