Brianna POVThis vacation has been so amazing, just me and my thoughts all week. I don't ever want it to end, but don't get me wrong. I miss my family, especially my twin brother. It's hard to be away from him, and even though this isn't the first time we have been apart, it's going to be the longest. He had to go off to Alpha training for a year recently, and mom said I needed to get away. She wants me to relax since I couldn't go and was missing him so much. If i go home, of course, I can see my mom and dad, who I love, but without Brian there, I would rather just stay here forever. Im out for a walk, not really caring where I go, just walking for something to do. My mom wanted to send me to Paris or Hawaii, but I asked to go to Florida. I'm not sure why I just felt like I needed to be here. I've spent tons of time on the beach. It's been great, but it feels like something is missing. I come to a spot where I have to make a choice left or right, a fork in the road, as one might say.
Brianna's POVShe stares at me for what feels like forever before she says " Are you being serious? Because I really need this to be real" I nod my head. I tell her "my wolf Zalia feels drawen to your wolf and wants to meet her"and she smiles while nodding as she quickly agrees " yes we'd like that let's do that now before we get out of cover Nova is so excited." She runs behind a tree as do I and I strip and let my wolf take over as I walk out from behind the tree I am shocked as I see her wolf and wow Nova is amazing. Her coloring is so unique I've never seen a wolf so pretty before. The best comparison I could have is a calico cat she is a wolf version of a calico cat and I've never seen that before ever. My wolf is brown like my hair color. As we approach eachother the wolfs need no time they instantly run to eachother and Zalia tells me Nova is family and to me it feels right.They nuzzle each other and play for a while I smile happy to see Zalia so happy. Eventually I take back
Annalise POVI'm sitting on this couch that feels like heaven and hearing her on the phone in the kitchen. I'm not trying to listen, but I do hear words like my name a few times and some mentions of a pack. I smile to myself, thinking about how lucky I am that she found me. Then how warm it is in here and how I don't have to go dig in the trash for my next meal right this second. Then I hear her on the phone talking about pizza, and my mouth starts to water. I hear her ask for one of everything on their menu, every type of pizza, and every dessert and drink. I'm shocked and staring at the wall as she finishes. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice that she'd joined me on the couch again.She sighs and says, " Food maybe a little while it's being worked on, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to take a shower. Before you feel upset or anything, it's not that you smell or anything, just I was thinking if I was homeless, I'd miss my shower and thought maybe you'd miss it
Annalise POV"Oh yea, no, that's true. The sooner, the better. Well, not to cut the convo short, but I do have my new sister to hang out with now, and she's here, but congrats, girl. I'm so happy you're mated and marked. I'll talk to you later." They hang up, and she looks at me and smiles. I don't know what my face looked like, but she asks, " Are you ok? You look. I don't know if you are confused or like maybe you have questions. I was wondering if you grew up with humans, and if that's what happened, it's fine to ask questions." I sigh and start with the big one." This may not be my business, but what was that phone call about? Sorry, I just have a lot of unfamiliar terms in there for me and concepts, too, I guess." Nodding, she says," Ok, sooo I was talking to my best friend Tammy she had called earlier, and I missed it because we were busy. So I just thought I'd call her really fast. She was excited because she found her mate earlier today, and they mated and then marked each othe
Brianna POVI just stare at her as she stops talking. I feel like I've been hit in the face, and I'm not sure what to say. That story It's just so hard to imagine a mother not wanting her kid. I'm assuming the mother never found out her dad was a werewolf, and he probably found his mate. I'd assume that's why he left, but of course, i can't be sure. However, as I think about it, he still wouldn't abandon a child. I wonder if he even knew about her, and I decided to tell her that he may not have and suggest we see if we can hunt him down sometime in the future. I realize I haven't spoken yet, and I open my mouth, but no words come out. I try again, and this time, I can speak."I'm sry I'm trying to imagine this but in our world that just isn't heard of parents protect there young I don't think I've ever heard of a wolf parent hurting there own child and if someone else does the parents go crazy and defend there children. This is all good to know. Im sure my dad will appreciate the deta
Briannas POVI sigh and reach for another slice of pizza as Annalise clears her throat, takes a drink, and says, " You do know you're gorgeous, right? I'd love to look like you." I stare at her and she says "What I'm serious" I shake my head and look at her she's slim with a much better figure then me she could use more food because she's obviously not eating enough but when she gets fit which as my sister she will her figure will become absolutely perfect. Then, adding the beautiful burgundy hair and big doe like blue eyes, I can't see why she'd ever want to look like me. Then I say as much to her " I don't know why you'd want to look like me when you look like that your beautiful and I wouldn't be surprised if you came back to the pack with us and the unmated males jumped at you." My mom laughs alot and my Dad sighs rolling his eyes he says " You can't just assume she's coming back first she'd have to want to then she'd need to be allowed by me and your mother. Then she'd have to stu
Annalise POVThey talked about why a full-fledged rogue may be around my tent, but it all got so confusing. Especially when he kept mentioning things he shouldn't know. At one point, he growls and says, "His sent disappears in the water about halfway down the beach." I was so lost in the conversation that I just decided to ask what I was missing. Brianna looked at me and said, "Oh yea crap sorry you not having a pack or any wolf's In your family means you probably wouldn't understand linking. Pack members are able to talk to each other through mind links. It's like a phone call except instant, and you can feel their emotions while you speak. Basically, you think of a person in your pack, and you focus, and you can have a private conversation with them. Other things about linking our you can open a link to as many people at once as you want, making it very good for private convos in crowded rooms or tense situations. There is also the fact that you can still link with blood family even
Brainna POVI can't believe he's still bringing up Chase. This guy would follow me, not like a stalker but still he'd ask if I needed anything or offer to carry things. I know he was just being friendly and maybe interested in me, but this happened all school year. I was so glad when I graduated, so i didn't have to deal with it every day anymore. At one point, my Dad suggested that if I never found my goddess given, mate, maybe I should choose Chase as a chosen mate. I couldn't believe it. I was only twenty at the time he hadn't found mom till he was twenty-four. Then there's the fact that I hadn't even traveled to look yet. I'm very excited to find my mate but being away from my twin is hard so we decided to travel together next year. My parents didn't know this yet because Brian and I decided recently on the phone. I feel like this time Dad only brought it up to joke with me, but still. I skip that statement and move on with a new topic. I decided to tell them about the plans to se
Annalise POV It's been a few weeks, and time is flying by. Most of the packs are done being built , and the store is about ready to be opened. We decorated a lot like we planned, and I told Bri my ideas, and she not only loved them but added to them. The outside blends in with the trees well but not in a bad way. The huge windows add lighting, and we have so much going on inside. We've added tables and chairs and beautiful tablecloths in the dessert room we have white lace cloth. In the restaurants, we have both blue in one and then red in the other. We made one into a restaurant for the party rooms it will make anything from pizzas to huge dinners and the other is for more fancy dinners. The party rooms we did like Brian suggested. A few girly rooms for tea parties which have lots of tables and flowery tablecloths. A few rooms for princess parties and then the empty rooms painted sky blue for bounce house parties. These rooms had folding tables and chairs.This was so we could move t
Brians POV The meetings continue, and more people sign on for plots. It's shaping up to be a great group, and we aren't even done yet. Right now, I'm adding two new packs to our plans. This is going great. we have about twenty packs that have joined, and we already have people building around us. The way we've been doing it so far is blocking all entrances into the packs. Then we are placing all the packs to protect each other and any human towns near us, too. It's going well, and the plans are working great so far. We have around three hundred people building towns right now. They have two almost completed, and if I say so, they are looking great. It's only been a few weeks since we've started all of the work.I sit the papers down and stretch as I sigh deeply it's been a lot of long nights lately. Even worse for my beautiful mate, she's been making so much for everyone's new places. I told her, "They will be bringing their own stuff." She just nods and says," I know, but they're gi
Brian POV Obviously, some of the first packs that joined were Bris and Alpha Jaxs because this is a chance to be much closer to the family. Travis was all for this, and so was everyone in Alpha Jaxs family. We are sitting around planning some pack blue prints with Jax and Travis when I get a link from my mate. I'm taking Bri to the hospital she maybe in labor, "Obviously, Travis was linked too. we both jumped up and told Jax what's going on, and he came too.We rush to the hospital, and they bring us back to Bris room and they are checking her over. She's definitely in labor, and Anna is holding her hand. Travis rushed to the other side and grabbed her other hand. I stayed back by the door out of the way, watching making sure everything was going OK. The nurse checks Bri and rushes out of the room. A doctor comes in and checks her too and says, "Well, this is moving faster them expected." I look at him as Travis asks,"What do you mean?" The doctor looks at him and says," She was just
Zavier POV I talk a lot, or so I'm told, and tonight I'm nothing but energy, so it's a lot worse. I tell the other Alphas everything I'm thinking and it's a huge amount of detail. " I know we aren't gonna make this easy for eachother but like Paul was saying I too have been waiting a while for Liz and I'm worried we almost fucked it up before we can even start it. So Brian is right. We need to fix this with a date so perfect that she forgets are bad behavior and falls into our arms. Also I think the idea of planning it and picking stuff to do together is perfect so let's see what we can come up with please I hope you agree that this feels right and that you both like me don't want to loose Liz. The issue now is that we have a lot to do to fix our mess up."Brain POV I stay and watch for a few, listening to them make plans and change them. I like how they are working together on this and changing plans if someone suggests something better. When I left, they had planned a picnic on th
Brian POV That night was great. I held my mate close, and as usual, the baby bassinets were in our room for easy access. They are starting to sleep through the night now, but we feel safer with them right by us, considering what's happened. I wake up early, and I know I should get more rest while I can. I get comfortable and close my eyes when I get a link telling me to hurry down to the town square. I sigh deeply and send a quick text to my beautiful Luna and link our best guards to watch my family as I head out for the day.I hurry to the town square, and as I get closer, I hear a big commotion. I stop when I see three of the Alphas from some of the packs that came for the meeting staring each other down. Luckily, some of the guards had come to help, and they were helping by blocking them in different ways. I ask, "What's going on?" and no one will answer me as they stare each other down. I decide this is solving nothing, and I request they follow me back to the pack house where we
Annalise POV I woke up early to check out Leon and Sarah's new house. Then I'll go see Sarah she's nice and I'd like to know when she will be released so I can show them their new place. Their house looks great. Mom and Bri definitely went above and beyond but in the best way possible. It looks like they bought furniture and decorations. Somehow, it seems to be full of clothing and food. They did amazing it's painted and has everything they'd need to cook clean or whatever here. I link them, thanking them for doing so much and such an amazing job. I get a link from Brian saying "sorry I left Before, you woke up, there was a disturbance at the border, but it's okay it wasn't an attack, just a pack passing by. I'm in the office if you need me, honey. I'll see you for dinner." I link back." it's ok, honey. i got up to check on the house for the Murray's. Now im heading to check on them at the hospital." I feel his pride for me and love through our bond. He says," I told you you'd make a
Annalise POV I quickly link a few of the pack memebers that are good at organizing and cleaning. i asked them to go fix up the house nearest to the park. It's a perfect house it has three bedrooms and it's close to everything. Then i link Brian, and i tell him which house is theres and he laughs at me. Then i quickly link our mom and ask her if her and Bri can take some of the blankets and stuff Ive made along with our standard welcome package to the same house and get it set up for the new residents. They asked which package, and i said, "Grab them one of each, and lets start planning a nursery for them. I'll get them involved with it, too, of course." Then I clear my throat and ask, " Would it be ok if I took Sarah with me to the hospital? I would like to get her checked out sooner rather than later. Just to make sure she's healing well since you guys have been mainly in hiding and also to check on your baby. She should be on prenatal vitamins. We definitely need to get it all star
Leon POVI take a deep breath before I continue. " I could tell she was my mate, but she was unconscious and not answering when I spoke. I crawled in to get to her, and she woke up freaking out. She wouldn't speak, and she tried to crawl away. I begged her to stay and told her she was my mate. She stops trying to leave, and she turns around and looks at me. She leans in and smells me, and she starts to cry. I reach out, and I wrap my arms around her as she collapses on me. I rushed her to our hospital, and they said,"she has a few broken bones and lots of bruises. She also seems dehydrated and mal norished, but we can help with that. She doesn't seem to have any major injuries, at least physically. This may be a regularthing shes covered in okd scars. Just so you know." Not sure if i should explain faster or just tell the story i clear my throat but the Luna looks at the door just as it opens the lady in charge of the hotel lets a man in and he shuts the door. He comes to stand by the
Brian POV Instantly everyone went into get ready mode mom and Anna directing everyone to get the two buildings by our meeting hall ready dad had to go out with some men to see if the hall would be big enough for everyone and if it wasn't we'd need to make have to rethink things. This may be the biggest meeting of Pack Alphas in years, and we talked to everyone involved about this. we don't know everyone's enemies yet, and if any show up, we have a temporary truce called. This way, we can all meet and see if there are any issues and maybe even work some of them out and see if this is a viable solution.The meeting hall needs cleaned badly, especially after dad did a few little renovations with the men. They somehow took out two walls without ruining the building and the support it ended up being perfect after that. They called a cleaning crew, and after it was cleaned so well, you'd be willing to eat food off the floors we sent out the organizers. They set up the tables and made it re
