Graphic torture physical and emotional ahead.

Luca’s POV

Emmett and I turn the investigation over to Cullen and Luke. They, of course, bring in Claire the human lie detector.

Claire starts with all of us in the room.

“Cliff, did you poison Taylor?“ Claire asks.

“No,” he answers.

“Do you know who did?” Luke asks.

“No,” He answers, and Claire moves on.

“Kass, did you, or do you know who did this?” Claire brushes this off, knowing it wasn’t Kass.

“No,” Kass nods to her.

They continue to Edward, Patrick, Marie, Me, Mom, Emmett and then Dad.

“James, did you do this, or do you know who did?’ Claire was getting tired of asking, but we have to check everyone.

Dad is silent.

“Jim?” Aunt Kass asks.

“Oleander was used with foxglove and wolfbane?” Dad asks.

“Yeah, why?” I ask.

“That is the formula we used on Kyle Byatt,” Dad is holding something back.

“Dad, if you know who did this, tell us now. Don’t make the Wallace twins take you to a tearoom. I’ll let them,“ I warn. Emmett holds me back.

    Luca’s POV“Kline, I expect her dead in two hours. Torture is one thing, but what you did is beyond the pale,” I say, catching up to him after he has showered.“If it was the Luna in the hospital after years of poison, would you order the same thing?” He talks like a robot. Clearly, this man has feelings, he just can’t express them.“I want to hope I would. I want to think the pain of watching your only child ripped to pieces is enough torture. Now, you can go kill her in two hours, or I can. Either way, she is dead in two hours,” I order.“Yes, Alpha. I want the check on Taylor, Cliff is allowing me in the room,” Kline walks away toward the hospital.Emmett is waiting for me outside in the hallway.“You, okay? Dad said it got intense in there,” He holds me close, and his scent covers me.“I wish I had never set foot in there,” I say. “Did you get any answers from Cliff about Kline and why he is okay with Kline’s presence?”Emmett pulls away just enough to look me in the eye. “Taylor

He heads back to the Packhouse, unable to concentrate on training today. As he enters the house, he is met by his dear friend, Luna Erin.“You don’t look so good, honey,” Erin says.“Yeah, my stomach is hurting like a bitch. I wonder if I’m starting my rut,” he tells her, rubbing his stomach.“Tis the season,” she tells him.“Any update on Edward?” Taylor asks, as another wave of pain washes over him.“No Kass said it’s the same as it’s been. James and I are going back to Blood Moon on Thursday,” Erin gives him a slight smile. Her brother Edward has been in a coma for almost two weeks.“Kline and I will hold it together here,” he almost doubles over in pain. “Speaking of, I better find him.”“Yeah. The delegation from Blue Ridge arrived; he may be meeting with them,” Erin tells him.“Great, I’ll just go to my room; if you see him, ask him to check on me,” Tay

There is no reason for him to influence you. It should be the other way around. Do you understand me?” Emmett tells him.“Yes, sir,” Walker looks Emmett in the eye. Before taking the ball and running off.“Alpha, I may need you to discipline Dennis,” Cameron tells me.“They are 5 years old. Cam, you have to have some control of him,” I say, as another baseball lands on the table breaking plates, glasses and sending food and drink everywhere.“That’s it, no more playing ball with you. You did that on purpose,” Walker bellows.“Oh, come on, it's just a joke,” Dennis whines.“Nothing you do is a joke, Dennis,” Saturn yells, storming over to him. “You want mayhem, I’ll give you mayhem.”All four us start to move, but we aren’t fast enough. Saturn lays Dennis out cold.“Saturn, what did you do?” Walker asks.“What Aunt Kass taug

I put in a lot of time preparing.” I tell him.He is kissing my neck and shoulders, “you need to tell me all you did, so you can feel what I felt. And baby, fuck, did it feel good.”I smile, knowing I did that, I made him feel that good.“It felt good to me too. We don’t need to flip,” I tell him.“Yes, you do, that was more than amazing,” Luca starts pulling me closer and kissing my neck. “Can I do it again?”“Yes, baby,” I whisper.I may have created a monster. Luca takes control of my dick as he pushes inside of me. And we are both screaming. After four rounds of sex and recovery, we pass out in exhaustion.The morning has come and I'm not lying, I’m sore.“Baby, you should have told me to stop,” Luca whines, as he sees me moving slower than normal.“I didn’t not enjoy it,” I tell him.“Your parents might notice a change in you,” Luca kisses my neck, as we shower.“They will not,” I

We found a total of eighteen bombs around the Packhouse, Taylor and Cliff’s house, our pack transport vans, and the grounds.“I want every inch of the pack searched,” I order, and Bart takes command to get it done.“Alpha, we have Robins,” another Captain, Devon, tells me.“Bring him here,” I call Marie and ask her to bring Cameron’s parents here.“What is your plan?” G asks me.“Let the parents kill him,” I say, and G agrees.“Alpha,” Cameron’s mother bows slightly.I hug her, as Cliff hugs his brother.“We are forever grateful for all Cameron and Nova did for our pack,” I tell them. “The man responsible is here, and you can choose the manner of his death.”“Thank you, Alpha. All we ask, is that we take our grandson back to Blood Moon. He is the last piece of our only child.”“Glinda, he is the future Beta of Sliver Creek. He was born here,” Cliff tells her.“We can’t leave because of my parents. Will he be raised in the Alpha house?” Glin

Can I bring Tammy to Silver Creek? She wants to be introduced to pack life and I don’t want her bombarded with all my family.”“You mean, you don’t want her anywhere near Patty?” I tease.“Fine, you caught me,” I hear her exhale.“Yes, we would love to have you. The Packhouse is nearly complete, when were you thinking?”“Next week?”“Sounds good.”We end the call and I get back to work. After the attack, I worried many members would flee the pack, but the opposite happened. We absorbed Blue Moon, because their Alpha was a total shit head. This makes us border neighbors with Max and Beth. The rebuild has gone well. We have a working kitchen and dining area. The common game rooms have been finished and the Packhouse after school resembles a rec center, which is fine.They are finishing

    Luca’s POV“Baby, I promise, it is going to be okay,” I tell my mate, for the millionth time, since we found out that Saturn is his biological daughter.“She could take this to her own Alpha and weaken his line. She will have to tell him; we can’t keep it a secret.” Emmett tells me, as I hold him.“Baby, we don’t know that she is mated to an Alpha. What if she is gay, what if she is mated to an Omega, or Dennis? He would accept her no matter her condition. He loves her.” I tell him, rubbing his arm to soothe him.“Kate and I talked; Tammy is terrified of us. Especially, me. She is worried she might get rejected.” Emmett tells me.“I can talk to Tammy,” I tell him. “I’ll tell her what pain it will cause Kate and how amazing the bond is once it’s sealed and how cool it is to have a werewolf for a mate. I’ll sell it.”“Thanks, Babe,” Emmett snuggles into my chest, and we fall asleep.Tomorrow, we drive to Dr. DeVine with Saturn.“So, I don’t get it, there is this doctor, and he wants to

He helped with the maintenance, so he gets to drive it.“Fine,” I toss him the keys to the Fury. “Just be careful.”“You are the best, Dad,” Walker runs from the office.“Can I drive the Barracuda?” Saturn asks, making a face.“You yes, Dennis no, deal?” I ask.“Deal,” I toss her the keys. “Have a good day, sweetheart.”“Thanks, Dad.” Saturn smiles and leaves.“Did I see Walker with the keys to the car I proposed with?” My mate asks, sitting in front of my desk.“You did, indeed,” I say, going over the Packhouse work schedule.“Is he a good enough driver for that car?” Luca asks.I laugh, “Yes, both Walker and Saturn, are excellent drivers.

    The moon goddess’s POVMy plan for Emmett was always suppose to be simple. Change the Lopez. Family forever and end the heart condition. I guess I put a little to much faith in him. Who am I kidding, he was perfect for the job. And it may have taken longer than I thought it would, but he got there in the end. Nora copied Emmett’s ceremony in every detail. She said the descriptions from witnesses called it the most romantic Alpha/Luna Accession in history. Knowing she couldn’t top it she copied it. Emmett was touched and flattered. As he should be. I promised the Wallace family that I was don’t meddling int their lives, but Saturn is a special one to me. I gave her Dennis because he needed her. I have no control over humans and the loss of Cameron and Nova was never in my plan. Dennis was supposed to grow-up to be a playboy and prankster, think Sam but with blonde hair. When his parents died he just became a loud mouth. But he needed Saturn to ground him and give him a reason to wan

He keeps putting off his doctor's appointment, because DeVine’s daughter is “just too young to know anything”. So, I have been begging him to rest more.“I have to meet with Nora and Dennis. They are just about up to speed. And the ceremonies are in a week. I promise to take a nap afterwards,”. He kisses me and heads to the office.“Sweet goddess, if you hear me, protect him. I want him with me in retirement. We are so close, goddess protect him.”***********Me and my kids are setting the border and alliance agreements between their packs.“So, we won't patrol this border, but we will double our efforts on this border,” Saturn point to the map.“Yeah, that will work,” Walker agrees.“See how easy this will be, you two get along, just remind your kids to do same.” I laugh and then we hear Nora scream.Walker gets there first, but I a

Since we get to set our own rules and stuff, we want to do a joint ceremony. But Phoenix wants to do the Alpha part first, then the Beta part. Her logic is it’s a new pack, we need an Alpha before we need a Beta. Dennis says that since it not a new pack but rather the re-establishment of an old pack, we can do the Beta part first and then the Alpha. Both of them make valid points, but I can’t decide; so I’m out, they can duke it out and I will do as I’m told,” She leans back.I laugh, “Daddy and Walker do the same thing. It’s a good move for an Alpha.”“DAD! I came in here for you to fix it,” Saturn whines.I look at her. “You are about to be Alpha, what the hell are you whining about. Am I going to have to rush down to Silver Lake every week to fix something fo

    Luca’s POVI really don’t know what the hell Emmett is thinking. I go into the room with Fred. “So, you have to get me to kiss you and you have two hours,” I find a mini bar and pour myself a scotch. “Drink?”“Whatever you are having, make it two,” Fred is smiling at me. I hand him a scotch and wait.“What ya got? How did you seduce all those mated females away from their families?” I ask. “It was simple really. I just showed them my greatest blessing,” Fred smiles and caresses my face. That is when my wolf perks up. I’m immune to magic. My wolf tells me when a spell is being attempted. I can choose to ignore it, or play along. I remember how my father defeated a wizard once. So, I play along.“Humm, what is your greatest blessing then?” I coo, as the spell wants me to.“It's very simple, you see,” Fred comes close and speaks low. “I have a dick that will make anyone scream. Would you like to see it, my pet?”“I think I might,” I follow my wolfs instructions.“Good, pet,” Fred is a

We have landed at Blood Moon and need to head to the portal, but my man is trying to get one more round out of me.“Luca,” I whine. “I love you, but I haven’t seen the kids in 8 weeks. I want to be there when they come through. Plus, I think Melissa and Clint are there already.”“Screw them,” Luca kisses my neck. “You are going to be talking to the kids all afternoon and evening. This is my last chance to have you alone.”“Luca,” I moan, as he rubs me through my jeans. “Lose the clothes, sir.”Luca growls. We manage two rounds and a third in the shower on the plane.We dress and walk to the portal.“Hey there,” Melissa smiles.“Hey, Luna,” I hug her.“Micah is bringing his mate. Have you heard the news?” Melissa smiles.“No, we haven’t,” I smile.“Apparently, his mate is Beta at a bigger pack and doesn’t want to give up his position, so John is going

We have one more week before we all return home.“This morning, Dennis had Phoenix wrapped up in a very passionate kiss. It’s weird seeing him kiss anyone but Saturn,”. I tell her.“I caught him and Saturn doing more than kissing in the bathroom of the rec room yesterday,” Nora giggles. “I talked to Phoenix, she says they are doing well. She loves her alone time with Saturn and her alone time with Dennis, but her favorite is when the three of them are together.”“She doesn’t feel like an outsider when they are all together?” I ask.Nora smiles, “she says no. She made the joke that Dennis is the outsider when they are together.”I laugh.“Why have we spent this time together talking about them? We spend a lot of time talking about them?” Nora asks me.“Because I’m getting used to the idea,” I tell her.“Well get used to this idea. One year from now, you and I will be taking oaths in fro

Well, we were, until Luca stopped speaking to me over the kids' names.Why is having Wallace in their names so damn important?I thought he would be okay, little miffed maybe, but never ready to kill angry.The last thing he said to me was, “I need I cancel wet teams.”He was going to kill James. So much for breaking tradition.We needed to talk, to clear the air. He needs to understand my decision to exclude Wallace was the same as Marie’s, Sara’s (no, not, Sara, she named her first born Wallace, bad example). Rona’s son is Wallace-Marshall, so that’s out. Patty is a perfect example. She is tough, independent, strong willed, she only uses Marshall for Hewy, Dewy, and Louie. Those aren’t their names, but they have such big lips, we couldn’t resist nicknaming them after the Duck triplets. She ac
