Emmett’s POVI hang up with Luca and my phone rings, again. This time, it’s Aunt Claire.“Sup, Aunt Claire,” I say.“Welcome back to Wolferton. Sara and Shay put off their gender reveals until you and Luca came back. They are trying to get it done before the Alpha Ceremonies. So, as Luna of Blue Mountain, I am calling the future Luna of Silver Creek, to request you and your Alpha’s presence.” She is smiling and trying not to laugh.“As future Luna of Silver Creek, I accept the invitation of the Luna of Blue Mountain. I assume this will happen at the Southern Crescent Packhouse?” I answer.Claire and I discuss details and have her send me a text message with the information as well. It’s a long drive, but once I make it to the Packhouse, my mate is waiting for me.“Hey, babe,” I say, trying not to smirk.“I’m sorry,” he says.Now, I’m smirking, “Me, or Little Miss Cathy?”Luca looks annoyed.“I am not apologizing to a car,” Luca says.“Too bad, I was horny,” I tease, grabbing my bag an
Luca’s POV“Edward and Monica’s ceremony is in two weeks and then, two weeks later is ours. So, I was thinking, everything is running smooth; Cameron is doing great. What if you and I took a trip?” Emmett asks one morning, while we cuddled.“What did you have in mind?” I kiss his head and hold him close.“Green Creek is having a classic car show this weekend. We could go, you could see my passion for cars, little time just you and me,” Emmett’s green eyes make it impossible to say no.“Okay, do you have a relationship with Alpha Jackson so you could ask permission to be on his land?” As Alphas we didn’t have the luxury of just enjoying an event in another pack, we have to have special permission.“I already made all the plans with Luna Christina!” Emmett jumps out of bed and starts to get ready for his day,“Why do I feel like I just got played?” I ask, still laying in bed.Emmett’s laugh fills the room. “Maybe because you did.”“What if I had said no?”More laughter, “We both know th
Emmett’s POV“Silver silk draped around the room?” Erin asks me.“Too old fashioned. Just let the hall speak for itself. It’s a great room, it doesn’t need all the extra stuff. Sliver tablecloths on the round tables. Centerpieces of white roses, with three crimson roses, in a sliver vase, with a light blue half inch ribbon above it.” I tell her. “The room will be lit by LED candles, hanging from the ceiling. The archway will be covered in twinkle lights. As you and James walk through, the light will dim, slightly. James will take his place and you will stand at his side. Luca will come through alone. I will enter with my parents and stand to the side, until my dad gives me away. Oaths will be made. James will transfer power to Luca; you to me and we all exit the archway. It will be removed; the lights will come up for dinner. Luca and I will enjoy our first dance. Then, the floor will be open for dancing and/or toasts.”Erin smiles and nods. “Sounds perfect.”I can tell she is about t
Luca’s POVI’m standing in front of the Packhouse with Cameron, Cliff, Taylor, Cam’s Parents and the pack.Dad is transferring power from Taylor and Cliff to Cameron. The Beta induction is small, personal, but still, very important. Cameron and I have been friends since we were kids, but he is not a Silver Creek Wolf.Emmett and I haven’t seen each other since dinner last night. Apparently, that is one tradition that is important to my mom. So, I stand alone.“Camron Blake, do you promise to discharge the office and rank of Beta to the best of your ability?” Dad asks.“I do,” Cameron Answers.“Do you promise to put your pack, and her members, ahead of your desires and wants?”“I do.”“Will you faithfully serve your Alpha, protect your Luna, and lead our warriors with pride of purpose?”“I will.”“Oh, gentle moon goddess, we ask for your blessings on this Beta, on his heirs, and on this pack.” Dad raises his hands and brings them down. “Silver Creek Pack, I give you, your Beta Cameron B
Emmett’s POV“Luca?” I ask, as I watch panic fall on his handsome face. The lights are still dim, we are still surrounded my burning candles, and he is down on one knee, with a box.When the curtain drops, I see it, 1958 Plymouth Fury, in red. Fully restored.“Ewww, he is proposing with Christine!” I hear Patty yell.Luca looks embarrassed, I don’t have the heart to tell him he just proposed with a “killer” car. After seeing that movie, I never wanted to own a Fury.Now, it is, literally, the car my mate is proposing marriage with. Of course, it’s Patty who has to point out that it’s Christine. Because, at 8 years old, of course she has seen Christine. It’s Patty, you can tell she is the 18th child. They have no control over her.“What is a Christine?” Luca asks.I heard a few other car experts snickering. Cameron looks shocked and dismayed. Clearly, he was not in on this, because he would have never let Luca propose with the least romantic car ever built.“How well my Alpha knows me.

We caught one of our casino managers attempting to Embezzle $7 million from us. When we tried to turn it over to the human authorities, they said we didn’t have enough evidence and we should just let him actually take the money; then we would have had him.

I even saw a few smirk. She is a trap. I want to see what kind and cut off its head.”Emmett smiles. “Go get ‘em Psych.”Taylor and I enter the room and the she-wolf has been given a tee shirt.“Oh, there are two. I’m down to play with two.” She smiles.“Eww, no one in this room wants what you got,” Taylor makes a face.“So, tell me about this camp and how do I find it?” I sit in the chair opposite her.“First the terms. I go free. Any of my pack mates who surrender are also set free. I’ll tell you everything. Patrol schedules, warrior abilities, and the Luna’s protection detail.“ She looks me dead in the eye. She is trying to spell me.I listen to my wolf so he can tell what she is expecting. I do
Emmett’s POVWhen I wake up, it must be very late. It’s dark outside. My mother is sleeping in a recliner, holding my left hand. Luca is holding my right. I don’t move, so I don’t disturb them.“Luna,” a nurse comes from the corner. She brings me a cup and reaches over Luca for me to drink. “How are you feeling?”“I’m not sure. My body is stiff,” I say, waking up Luca.“Baby,” he was up quickly and kissing me hard. “You scared the life from me. I love you, so much.”“What happened?” I ask, pecking his lips, one more time.Luca took a deep breath and explained about me being spelled and how he killed the witch.“Baby, there is something I need to talk to you about.” Luca sits on the bed with me and wakes my mother. “Mable, we need to tell him.”“Tell me what?” I ask.“Emmett, I never told you, but I have a heart condition. Your father and I always kept it a secret. I had a pacemaker at 22 and I’ve done well. When you were out you, had an arrhythmia. Anirregular heartbeat. You may have
