13- FinnI switched out with Greta about two hours ago. Itâs the middle of the night and she let me rest for a long time. It hit me too late, itâs because sheâs a control freak. This girl cannot be more wound up. I am going to have to talk with Danny about ways to medicate her uptight ass. This is not the hard part. These rogues either arenât who we are looking for and our information is bad, or they are onto the fact that Rory is looking into them and they are playing nice for now. I donât know why she thinks we need a bulletpointed plan of every move we make before doing anything. Sheâs the definition of analysis paralysis. I donât care how hot she is, sheâs crazy and I have had enough of that to last me a lifetime.If it was just me, I would have done a sweep around the perimeter already to get a better idea of numbers. I know how to hide my scent and Iâm not officially in a pack so even if they came across my scent they probably wouldnât think anything of it. But, I canât mid
14- GretaI have never seen anyone look at me the way Finn was. Itâs like he was hungry and he wanted me for his last meal.âWell, heâs a guy, a very, very hot guy and you are a woman.ââShut up.â I scold my wolf. âI wonder if he was telling the truth about not having women catch his eye for a long time.ââMaybe heâs bi! Iâve always wanted to try a three way!ââYou are ridiculous!â I laugh at my wolf. âBesides, maybe him and Amy had a different kind of mate bond. She was able to sleep with anyone. The bond didnât seem to affect her. Maybe he was the same. He could be lying just to get a piece while heâs out here on this mission.â The thought makes me feel sh*tty.âNah, he was definitely looking at you like a snack.ââGreta!â Finnâs voice stops our debate. I look and heâs standing about twenty yards back. He shifts fast. âYou want to take a look at this or just run laps?â He whispers, raising an eyebrow.My wolf rolls her eyes and he laughs at us, but we trot back over then shift
I will never say this out loud to Greta, but she was right going back to the cabin and letting off some steam away from people who I thought would at least have my back. I had to get my head on straight to be able to deal with the problem. We let them into our quiet little rogue pack and they turned our world upside down. I think thatâs what pissed me off the most. I donât really care if they like me or would come after me, but Amy and Janelle came into our pack and found Justin and I almost immediately. Neither of them wanted to be marked right away. I donât know what Janelleâs excuses were, but Amyâs were all about gaining power. It was the prize at the end of her grand plans. She put it off every time I accomplished what she wanted. There was always another task to complete.I will also never tell Greta it was her I thought about while I let my body release all the pent up tension. It took very little imagination and an embarrassingly short time, but it worked. My wolf is right
16 - GretaThis is the biggest bunch of bullsh*t. Iâm stuck in a f*cking net, hanging from a tree like a cartoon character. Who even uses a trap like this? âFinn! Stop playing with that asshole and get me down!ââUmpf.â Both guys hit the ground hard. Finnâs wolf just growls at me. Itâs getting dark, but I can tell the difference between the two even though they are pretty evenly matched.I continue to scout. I can see others at the treeline waiting their turn, itâs too dark to count though. This is going to be a su*cide mission for Finn if I canât get down. They are just going to wear him down, one fight at a time. I look up, thereâs no way heâs going to be able to get me down like this. Iâm going to have to climb the net, which was probably made to catch guys the size of Finn and Ryker. Iâm swinging like a pendulum and tilted sideways. These assholes know what they are doing with this midevil trap, but I finally get to the closure of the net. My weight is too much for me to o
17 - FinnI take a deep breath in, my ribs are sore, but I can breathe. I can feel my legs and arms. I swear the toxin was taking over before I passed out from the blinding pain. I know I have a resistance to Claudeâs toxin, but I also know how badly I was injured by Janelle and Justinâs guys. I shouldnât be able to think let alone feel. I shouldnât be alive. Assessing the rest of my body, there isnât any more pain. I am aware of my body laying on something soft and I am very warm, but canât seem to force my body to move.My eyes are glued shut for some reason, maybe I am still fighting off the toxin. Another deep breath and a sweet soft fragrance lulls me back into the darkness. Maybe I am dead or dying and the Goddess is making the trip back to her more comfortable. I let the sweet smell engulf me and allow the soft darkness to take over.âShould we wake them?â A deep voice stage whispers.âNah, but make sure she knows that we know sheâs a cuddler. ThatâŠshe will never live down.â
18 - GretaI canât help looking over at Finn every few minutes. The last two days were scary and not much scares me anymore. My wolf was right and he needed me to heal and deal with the poison that was flowing in his body. My wolf took her time cleaning each and every wound on his body. There were over a hundred cuts and scrapes to take care of and we had to shift every twelve hours for her to lick them clean. The saliva would stop the bleeding for a while, but they would become a slow leak to handle again. Once we got the wounds to close completely we found that he would have a seizure if I stepped away from him. I was afraid to even go to the bathroom and neither of us ate much and I had to dribble water into his mouth to try to keep him hydrated.âJust ask, Princess. Stop staring at me like that.â His walk looks strong, but I have been around him long enough to see the small struggles he has moving.âYou said you are not wanted, that no one wants or trusts you but Kennedy. Why do
19 - GretaFinn jumps in the back seat, tilts his head back and closes his eyes. Welp, I guess we aren't talking on the ride home.âGreta, you can rest too. Itâs been a long week for you and the drive is going to beâŠââDonât you dare finish that sentence.â I side eye Grant. âIf you jinx us, I will harm you.âGrant rolls his eyes. âYes, maâam.ââSeriously? You too!ââWhat?!â He asks, not trying to hide his laugh.âYou are not allowed to call me that, so knock it off.â I look out my window to hide my smirk. I donât hate the title. I hate that Finn says it like itâs an insult.âYou let Finn call you that.â My head whips over my left shoulder to make sure Finn is still sleeping.âShh! I do not. He just doesnât listen and it isnât worth the fight.ââSure, thatâs what weâre gonna go with.âI smack his chest. âSince when are you so talkative? Donât you normally just sit here all stoic and sh*t chauffeuring us around.ââI like to refer to it as defensive driving, maâam. And, for your in, I

41 - FinnIâm 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 wasnât 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.âFIIIIINNNNN!!!!â I launch off the couch and over the back ready for a fight after Trinityâs yell. Eyes wide scanning for what made her call for me like that only to be met with laughter. âIt worked, Bennet!â She squeals happily.âSomeone is wound awfully tight after sleeping so long.â 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. âWhereâs 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 canât be mad at us though, this packhouse was not designed like Rykerâs 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, theyâre 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 wantedâŠa 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 zzzâs before Rosie wakes up from her latest nap. Heâs doing his best to support his mate through these early days, which I commend and envy him a little.Greta sighs deeply, but doesnât 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 canât see her expression.âHey,â I whisper, squeezing her hip gently, âTalk to me.âAnother sigh and then a sniffle and I canât take the suspense anymore. I pull her up into my lap so sheâs forced to look at me even though she keeps her eyes closed like itâs going to stop me from seeing how red they are.âGreta, babe, you have to talk to me.â I plead. âWhatâs going on in that stubborn head?âSheâs 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 Rykerâs baby, I canât 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 Kennedyâs head through the mass of wellwishers surrounding her.âCome on Finn, look at, look at!â Trinity moves like our bodies are the same size and I can wade through the legs of adults like she does. âCome on Finn!â 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 Rykerâs 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.âUhâŠso how is this going to work?â 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.âWhat do you mean?â She asks, but itâs not convincing. I know sheâs been thinkin logistics too.âWell we are mated now and there is no way Iâm going to sleep separate from you, but my apartment wonât 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?â Her eyes go wide. Maybe she wasnât thinking about the same logistics I was.âWhat makes you think that we are going to have up to four kids with us?â Her husky voice squeaks and itâs adorable. I canât 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 Janelleâs 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 doesnât make them any less irritating. She will suffer for all of their crimes even if she isnât the brains behind this operation. Everyone in this pack will put the most responsibility on her. Itâs one hundred percent personal.Iâm pulled out of my thoughts by a kiss to the neck. I suck in a breath at the sensation. âThey have this handled. Grant said to get out of here before he throws up.â Finn whispers against the shell of my ear causing a wave of goosebumps to trail over my whole body. I just now notice we arenât alone with Janelle and her other teammates. Finn really is distracting, Iâm 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 canât even begin to describe how good Greta feels in my arms. But I canât 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.âThey knew we were coming.â Greta says, a little bit more worry than Iâm used to in her voice. âI know, I think your Warriors got played.â I say exsasperated. Rykerâs team is so good though, I donât know how it is possible. âCould they be using any of your old hideouts or old methods to get into the pack?â She asks. âI donât think so, because Amyâs dad was very secretive about how we moved from place to place. There was a lot of magic involved, so I donât think anyone actually knew how and where we were traveling until we finally got to where he wanted us to stop.â âHe 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. Heâs fast but sloppy. His claws donât hit their mark because heâs 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. Thereâs 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 wasnât dumb, but Iâm not sure what their plan is. They havenât gotten past our defenses to get further into Dark Moon. I havenât 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
