Wow! I thought I had seen all there was when it came to the ball time period. Mia was definately a refreshing new view. Please drop me a gem and or a comment. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading! -A :) Also if you haven't checked it out yet, give Alpha Baylor a try. :)
Kendall POV I don’t even know how to feel right now. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. My mate wants me! She might not know everything about me, but I will be 100 percent transparent with her. Her dad probably has other reasons for us not marking one another and that is fine, but my reason is that I want her to understand that what she is getting is damaged merchandise. The Conways have offered for me to stay here until everything is sorted out. I am all onboard for spending time with my girl and getting to see more of those luscious curves her dress accentuated. In the bathroom to Mia’s suite, I quickly changed into a pair of basketball shorts before giving Mia the bathroom to get changed. I don’t want to seem forward, so I have elected to sit on the one chair in the room. If she chooses to invite me to sit on her bed, then I gladly will. Why wouldn’t I? She is everything I had ever dreamed of, but knew I didn’t deserve to have. I wonder if she will still want me when
Mia POV I can’t believe the only pajamas I thought to pack for this trip was my Stitch onesie. ‘Way to be sexy Mia,’ I internally cringed as I climbed onto Kendall’s lap. I just want to comfort him and tell him everything will be okay and to quit self deprecating. He is not responsible for his father’s actions. His father is a fucking jackass and I would love nothing more than to rip his balls off and feed them to him. He has put my mate through hell and abused him emotionally. How could he not see what a good person his son is, what a good alpha he will be for his people? Alpha Hollis has repeatedly told Kendall he wasn’t good enough, when the reality is son was just too good for him. “Not to change the subject, my love but I thought your eyes were violet?” Kendall questioned furrowing his brow. I giggled at his question and kissed the tip of his nose, he’s just too adorable. “I like to wear those contacts to make my eyes stand out. It just happens that they matched my dress for t
Kendall POV I must say for as sweet and innocent as Mia seems, she is a vixen in bed. She may not have been wearing sexy lingerie, but I will never be able to watch anything with that Disney character in it again, not without getting turned on thinking of our first night together. Today after breakfast we said our goodbyes to Mia’s brother Eli and his mate Cadence. Mia’s father, Alpha Isha was flying back to their pack with them, to make some arrangements for his extended absence. Then he would be returning to Cold Moon Territory to help take down my father and help me to get Rip Claw running smoothly. This afternoon I sat with Alpha Kieran and Frankie as they called in the council to handle my father’s misdeeds. Alpha Kieran was also adamant in making sure that we did everything correctly, so there wouldn’t be any problems with me taking over my pack. I was grateful they allowed me to observe how they were handling things. I owed Alpha Kieran a debt of gratitude for also looking o
Kendall POV We spent our time waiting this afternoon, discussing battle strategies because we were fairly certain this would end in war. When Alpha Kieran informed us that the council had been cleared through the gates to his territory, all I could think is this will finally be over soon. The men who came on the door were sharply dressed and exuded power and arrogance. The man who appeared to be the leader spoke first, “Alpha Kieran, I assume you called on us with appropriate evidence to support your accusations.” Did this man think we had nothing better to do than waste their time? Of course we have evidence, I thought to myself. “Yes High Counselor, we have files and statements from all that have been directly involved in this situation. We will also have a large piece of physical evidence to support the accusations within the hour. It would have been here already but we just learned of its existence a few hours ago.” The leader nodded, “Very well, I assume you have the files and s
Mia POV When I woke up this morning Kendall had already left our room, he was going to work on hacking into the computer in his father’s office. We had discussed it a little bit last night and he didn’t feel like it was going to be a big challenge since he’s done it before, just not remotely. I went down for breakfast after I had a shower to find mom and Luna Fran drinking coffee and chattering on about the past. They were giggling like a couple school girls and it was nice to see mom really enjoying herself. Mom gets along with her Beta and Gamma females, but I haven’t ever seen her like this. I wonder if it will be like that for me being in Kendall’s pack away from my closest friends from home. ‘Nope, don’t think like that Mia. This isn’t like mom at all. I have good friends less than an hour away and maybe I will be closer to my Beta and Gamma females because we’ll be working to rebuild the pack,’ I thought to myself. “Good morning baby Luna,” my mom said grinning. “Mom, I am ol
Mia POV When the others return from the territory gates, I am not sure what I expected to hear. But the fact that Kendall’s father was found and captured hadn’t been it. This was one of the things we had been waiting for. It was a step towards the closure Kendall needed so he could become the Alpha of Rip Claw pack. He loved his people and blamed himself for not doing something sooner to make their lives better. He didn’t take into account that he was doing something now and that his people would understand that he had to do things the way he did for them. The other thing I never expected was for Gideon to find his mate. He has been a friend to our family all of my life and it has always just been him. I could tell that his mate was wary of us and I hoped for Gideons sake that it would change. Right now though we were headed to the hospital with my parents, Frankie’s parents, and Frankie and Nikki to fill the council in on recent developments. Once at the hospital, Dr. Lynn set us
Kendall POV I did it, my father was dead. A storm of emotions raged through me as I knelt by his lifeless body. I don’t even know why, but I was sobbing. This was my father’s body, but he had ceased being my father when power and greed consumed him. I felt a hand on my back and realized that Nikki had knelt beside me. “I am sorry Nikki, I know you wanted to be the one to avenge your parents, but I couldn’t let him get away with it anymore,” I said as tears continued to stream down my face. “It was supposed to be you, I wanted it, but you did the right thing. He was going to walk out of here and either start doing it all over again or vanish and never pay for his actions, you did the right thing,” she replied. One of the councilmen cleared their throat, “Alpha Kendall we need to discuss what has happened here today. When you have said your good-byes, will you meet us at the mansion?” I nodded and when I looked up, I realized that the Head Counselor was laying a few feet away with a
Kendall POV We spent the day in training yesterday and I have to say watching Mia was truly fascinating. She is remarkable both in hand to hand and in wolf form. Her movements were fierce yet graceful; she was no delicate little flower. I have said it before and I will likely say it many times more; She is my treasure, my perfect blessing from Selene. Today is the day and I wish I could say that I am ready for it but the truth is I have slept for crap these last two nights. Don’t get me wrong there is no love lost over killing my father. Quite the opposite actually. It has been two nights of the same thing on loop in my dreams, my father telling me I am worthless, I can’t do this, and he will always win. Today is the day I prove him wrong though once and for all. He may be dead, but he is still in my head and the sooner we free Rip Claw from the rogues and begin rebuilding, the better. There is so much riding on this that if I let my father’s words sway me, I would fail. Failure is
Mia POV I am not one hundred percent sure what Kendall means by public awaits, but I know I wouldn’t be dressed like this for any small event. So I eagerly placed my hand in his and followed Kendall to the back of the packhouse. When we stepped out of the back door we weren’t outside though. There was a dome that had been erected and decorated like a grand ballroom. The linens were deep burgundy and the table decor was greenery heavily trimmed in gold. The scene was absolutely breathtaking and my heart was so full, my chest could have burst right open. This had been done for me? But why? When a familiar voice came over the P.A. system, my head whipped in the direction of a small stage. “So, when I used to tease my sister about sending her far away to some evil Alpha, I never really thought about the fact that she might actually end up on the other side of the country mated to an Alpha that absolutely adores her. Phoenix Storm, may I present to you the guest of honor Luna Mia Rose De
Mia POV As Gabby drove me home I thought about Nikki and Frankie’s romantic evening ahead. I won’t lie, I am just a little jealous. Frankie is still attentive to Nikki, and I wish I could say the same was true for Kendall and I. Maybe I should try getting all dressed up and taunt Kendall with naughty suggestions. But sex doesn’t really seem to be our problem though, he’s been a little cold and closed off, he even has the mind-link blocked most of the time. Maybe I should go home for a visit. It has been a few weeks since I have seen mommy and daddy and I really haven’t gotten to know Eli’s mate Cadence. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, so maybe if we spent a little time apart things will get better. There has to be something wrong with our bond, every couple I know can barely stand to be apart from one another. I was so deep into my own thoughts that I hadn't realized the Hummer had stopped. I was going to ask why we had stopped outside of the gates when I noticed a ba
Kendall POV Do you have any idea how hard it has been keeping a secret from Mia? It means I have had to keep my block up on the mate bond and keep mind-links to a minimum so that she doesn’t find out what I have been planning. The whole no Luna ceremony thing has really bothered me and I asked her again to consider it after I picked up the ring that I commissioned Simone to make. No go, she doesn’t need a celebration to know that the pack loves and accepts her. The thing is that pack members have asked when we will be celebrating their luna. They are so excited to finally have one and they want to shower her with affection. So while it is really a little late to have a luna ceremony because she is really their luna in every way possible, it’s never too late to just celebrate her. So the pack has been secretly planning a celebration for her. When she comes back from Cold Moon this afternoon she will hopefully be surprised. Once she cleared the gates this morning we started putting
Mia POV Everyone around here has been acting a little weird lately. No one seems to have time to talk and they are always in a hurry. Even Kendall seems distracted at times, I know we have a lot going on, but he has been so attentive from day one that it has me worried. Could our bond be broken or maybe just not as strong as everyone else’s seems to be? I really just don’t understand. I have decided that I am going to meet with Nikki and the rest of the girls at K&T this morning. I am in serious need of some girl time and a decent macchiato. I went to knock on Kendall’s office door and let him know I will be leaving for the day. “Come in,” he called out when I knocked. Gordon and Bertie were in the office with Kendall and it looks as though they are going over some sort of paperwork. I walked over and gave Kendall a kiss and said, “I am heading over to Cold Moon to have macchiatos with the girls, I will be back this afternoon. Kendall reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys
Kendall POV Things went so well meeting with the elders today and I couldn’t be happier. I realize that a name change isn’t much in reality, but I feel like it is one more step away from my father and all of his misdeeds and something that will have a positive effect on pack morale. I am curious as to what Frankie wants to speak with me about, perhaps it is just the formality of signing the alliance that we verbally agreed to back in Atlantic City. Now that we have decided on the name change, we can move forward with the fealty ceremony and that should be another step in the right direction in the healing process of the pack. If it were a financially viable option, I would have this pack house demolished and build a new one to destroy more of the bad memories. I have a little more than two hours before Frankie should arrive and I asked Anita and Letty to keep Mia distracted while I pay Simone a visit. Hopefully they have interpreted what I had in my head into another of their stun
Mia POV I am so proud of the progress that Kendall has made at sifting through the mess left behind by Hollis and the rogues. I can’t even call that vile man Kendall’s father and would never call him an Alpha. He was a disgrace to that title and his picture is next to the definition of evil in the dictionary. I don’t understand how any person can do half of the things he has done and still sleep at night. We discovered that Hollis had a lab set up in one of the warehouses, where he was testing the effects of some of the weapons he had been trafficking on different pack members who had angered him. Dr.Lynn from Cold Moon Pack came with an experimental cure that actually worked wonders in helping those who had been experimented on. She tried to explain that she used vampire blood to make some sort of protein fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum… I am definitely not science minded and it was all gibberish to me. It worked and that’s all that really matters, right? Apparently Holli
Kendall POV I honestly didn’t know what I expected to find sifting through the mess left behind by the rogues and my father’s Beta and Gamma. But the level of depravity was astounding. They took everything they could from my people and when I say everything, I do mean everything. They collected what they called ‘taxes’ but in all reality was just their greed. The more a pack member had the more they took and worse was the treatment of unmated females no matter their status. They had the packhouse running as a brothel and if a female wouldn’t submit to their whims… I just can’t even talk about it. Poor Cookie won’t tell me what she has been through and I won’t force it, but I know it had to have been bad. I accidentally knocked the broom onto the floor when I entered the kitchen and she went into complete hysterics. I had to call Dr. Lynn who came from the Cold Moon Pack hospital to sedate her. I spoke to the human authorities this morning and found that they would not allow me to
Mia POV After the battle was over, our injured and dead were transported off of the field. Kendall, my dad and I made our way to the Rip Claw packhouse. Kendall asked one of the omegas to get some fresh clothing and show my dad to the guest suite so he can shower and change. We stopped by Keegan’s room to find something for me to change into, then we made our way to Kendall’s room to shower and change. I wasn’t completely thrilled with wearing his psycho, dead sister’s clothes, but now is not the time to be picky. “How do you feel, Alpha?” I asked as we undressed quickly to get into the shower. “Relieved it’s over, if I am totally honest,” he sighed. “We freed our people and that is the important part,” I replied. “You said our people,” Kendall grinned. I looked down not knowing if I had misspoken and said, “Well, I hope they are our people anyway. You haven’t changed your mind have you?” He used a finger to lift my chin and his eyes sparkled with excitement. “Yes Luna, they are our
