Chapter One
“Mommy, look at the pretty butterfly.”
“Oh, that’s an emerald swallowtail sweetie. Christopher, look at what our daughter has found.” I can hear her voice calling out to my father, but I am enthralled with the beautiful green wings of the delicate creature in front of me.
Today is my 10th birthday and my parents always bring me to Century Park to celebrate. The park is one of my favorite places, because there is always something to do or something new to see. I love watching the river from the gazebo and seeing the ducks float lazily along. The people milling about on the walking paths, and the birds flitting through the trees. Even though my parents are the Alpha and Luna of our pack, they always take my birthday as a special day for just us.
Out of nowhere, there is a really loud bang, and it immediately catches my attention. I jerk my head around to see my father falling to the ground, my mother rushes to him, but there is another really loud bang and she falls next to him. All at once it was as if time had stopped. I knew something was terribly wrong.
I hear people screaming and running, but I feel frozen. My body is unusually cold, and suddenly, I can no longer breath.
With a startled gasp, I woke up and realized that it was my recurring nightmare. Julie had thrown ice-cold water on me to wake me up.
“Wake up, you dumb slob. How could you oversleep today of all days?” Her voice grated upon my eardrums with her nasally high-pitched shrieks. “Get up now, you lazy bum. There is still so much to get done.”
With those words, she reached to grab my hair, but I was too quick for her and scrambled up towards the end of my mat. Julie continues to rant while I quickly threw my thin t-shirt on, followed by my old worn-out jeans.
“Sweetheart, why all the noise?” My Aunt Lily must have heard Julie ranting because she came running in.
“Jadenne purposely slept in because she knows how important today is to me, and she doesn’t want me to be happy.” I rolled my eyes. I had seen Julie play this bit on her parents too many times to even be bothered by it anymore. Any time her mother comes in, she tries to act like she is some innocent victim when in reality, she is truly a villain. I finished pulling on my jeans as Lily comforts Julie.
“Jadenne, please hurry up; you know that today is Julie’s 18th birthday. It’s a very special day for her.”
With that, my aunt adoringly patted Julie’s cheek, and a pang of jealousy shoots through me. Today is also my 19th birthday and I would give anything to be with my mother today. Once Lily left my room, Julie returned to berating me as I hurried to slip on my shoes. In my head, I started cursing Julie for her perfect life. I thought I was doing it in my mind when I heard the sound of my own voice. I tried to stop the words from coming out but it was too late. I realized that I had voiced my thoughts out loud.
CRACK
My head snapped sideways at the vicious slap Julie lands across my cheek. “If you ever talk to me like that again, I will tell my father and have you banished. You already reek, might as well be a lowly rogue too.” Finally, Julie had her fill of me and left my room. With tears in my eyes, I quickly swept my hair up into a low ponytail. I listened closely to ensure that no one was coming near my room before I wedged the loose floorboard up from its spot and glanced at the only picture I had left of my parents. Oh, how I wish they were still here today with me, but fate is cruel, and this is my life now. I looked into the warm brown eyes of my mother and imagined her telling me Happy Birthday. With a sigh, I slowly replaced the board, stood up and started to mentally prepare myself for today.

Jadenne’s Point of ViewWaiting for Pierce felt like an eternity. Felicity tried to keep me occupied but my mind was still reeling from meeting his mother and learning that she was friends with my mother. I had known that my father had strengthen ties with the royal Lycan family and I remember them visiting once when I was young, but the way the Queen spoke was as if she and my mother were very close. I had so many questions, but I wasn’t even sure if it was appropriate for me to ask.For so long I haven’t been able to speak about my parents. When my Uncle assumed the role of Alpha he did not want to hear about my father. People said that it was grief, but as I got older, I always thought it was jealousy. He didn’t like if soldiers mentioned my father, or even his Beta. I was beaten thoroughly if I brought my parents up, either by my Uncle or Julie. My Uncle had removed their photos, my Aunt had redecorated and arranged the house, and before long it was almost as if my parents hadn’t

Pierce’s Point of ViewI hated leaving Jadenne. I could feel her confusion and hurt through the mate bond. If I was being honest this whole ordeal has me reeling and completely frustrated. Granted I had never really worried about having a mate before, but now that I do all I want to do is protect her, and yet I seem to be failing miserably.“William their treatment of her must be answered for, I demand it.” My mother was standing in front of my father’s desk with her hands on her hips tapping her foot as if he was a pertinent child she caught in the cookie jar. If the entire statement had not been about my mate, I may have found the situation funny.My father sighed deeply sitting in his chair and putting his hands over his face. “Castine sit down please. I understand that you are upset, but right at the moment we have a few situations that need to be discussed.” He was trying to placate her. My mother listened though and sat down and my father filled her in on the information that Em

Jadenne’s Point of ViewI hadn’t known who the woman embracing me was until Pierce said mother. This was the Lycan Queen holding me, crying, and apologizing to me. I have no idea why she is telling me that she is sorry, but her embrace is motherly and I am enjoying it. At first I hadn’t returned her embrace because she had taken me by surprise, but I was slightly surprised that my arms had found their own way around her returning the affection. It took a moment before she pulled away, tears still evident on her face.“Sorry if I have scared you child, but I can see her so clearly in your face.” She softly brought her hand up and caressed my cheek. “I am terribly sorry that I did not look after you myself. When your mother died, I had heard that you were taken in by your family and naturally assumed that you would be loved and cherished.”Her words finally dawned on me and I couldn’t

Pierce’s Point of View I followed Emery into my father’s study and saw that he was already waiting for us. He poured drinks for Emery and me. That was my first clue that he had news that he knew I would not take very well. He wasted no time getting to the point.“Let me first congratulate you on finding your fated mate son. Having a mate is a true blessing and I hope that you both find happiness with each other.” Emery and I grabbed our glasses as my father made his toast. “Now, we need to get down to business. Pierce, I understand that you have already questioned the prisoner. Your brother has informed me that, according to the prisoner, Julie was involved in the incident concerning your mate. As Emery has already told you, this raises some serious concerns.” My father placed his glass down on his desk before taking a seat. “We are placed in a rather precarious position. From what I understand, Julie is not only Robert’s daughter but also the mate to the young Alpha Nathan of the Go

Pierce’s Point of View Jadenne asking me about the prisoner brought me back into reality. My heart was heavy knowing that there were a lot of unanswered questions that I needed to ask her, and I felt guilty over not being able to protect her. We didn’t talk as we gathered our clothes and redressed. If her stomach had not grumbled, I would have kept her in bed all day. It is crazy that I never really wanted a mate, but now that I have one, I can’t seem to keep my hands off of her. Once we were clothed, I grabbed her hand and led her down into the large kitchen. Felicity and Emery were both already there.“I had all the bags carried in but Emery said that we should wait for you guys to finish before they were taken upstairs.” I watched a blush flush across Jadenne’s face at Felicity’s words.“Thank you, I will make sure everything is taken care of.” In truth, I had not thought about the fact that Jadenne would share my room now. Everything had happened so fast that I haven’t had a mome

Pierce carried me up the stairs and into a room that I had not been in before. I quickly assumed from the scent that it was his actual bedroom. Pierce gently pushed the door shut with his foot. Once the latch clicked, Pierce bent his head down and inhaled deeply, pressing his nose against my collarbone and neck.“I could smell your arousal bunny.” His husky words brought a deep blush to my face, but I could not deny the truth as another wave of heat spread down my body. Pierce captured my lips swiftly with his in a hard, demanding kiss that only fanned the heat flowing through my body. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in deeper and inviting his tongue into my mouth. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue danced with mine. Pierce broke the kiss long enough to move us towards the large bed that was against the wall. He gently put me down on the bed.I kicked my shoes off quickly and started to scoot back on the bed but Pierce stopped my movements. He unbuttoned my jeans and
