Carson POV I waited for confirmation from our witch, that a spell had been placed on the young Alpha. Receiving confirmation, I looked to Marly, seeing her asleep in bed. She was exhausted, and I had laid with her until she fell asleep. I shut the door to our room, and went to open the main door, allowing Jeff and Sarah to enter. “What did you find?” I asked softly. They recognized the need to be quiet, and spoke quietly as well. “Jenna and Elder Timothy are suspect; but Jenna did only visit the new mom today at the hospital. Elder Timothy tried to get in to see Alpha Maxwell, but was not permitted in,” he shared. “What does he want with the Alpha?” I considered, as we all sat down in the sitting area. “Sarah, does anything stand out to you?” I asked, knowing she had more knowledge of the Alpha. “The only thing he could want with Maxwell would be to build an alliance,” she suggested. “An alliance how?” I q
Marly POV I stretched, feeling delicious soreness between my legs. Every minute with Carson was heaven, and I was grateful to the Moon Goddess for bringing him to me. I reached over to Carson’s side of the bed and was disappointed when I felt an empty space. I opened my eyes and looked around. Carson was not here. As I was about to call out to him, the washroom door opened, and Carson walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist. With a pout, I looked at him, “I wanted to have a shower with you,” I said. Carson looked up, not realizing I was awake. He smiled as he came over and gave me a good morning kiss that curled my toes. ‘We will shower together later; I need to get to the training grounds,” he said. I looked at him, “When will I start training?” I asked excitedly, as I swung my feet out of the bed. I was a little embarrassed at being naked, but Carson came up to stand in front of me, “Never be embarrassed in fro
Marly POV The thrusting of my mate in my body, was causing me pain, but I was happy to know that I had found my mate, Maxwell Sampson. He was the soon to be named Alpha for our pack, Red Pines Pack. I was an Omega, and I was an embarrassment to my family. My family had never disillusioned me. My fate as a she-wolf was to serve the Pack. Maxwell promised me it did not matter that I was an Omega, as he dragged me into the closet at the school we were attending. Our Pack often hosted events where our Packs would visit one another. I had met Maxwell when I was young and had loved him for years. Yes, he bullied me as we got older. Being an Omega, you kind of expected those things. But as soon as our mate bond clicked, all of that disappeared and it was just the two of us. He never abused me, like the others did. I was one of the few Omegas in our Pack and school. As such, there was always someone around to remind you of your p
Marly POV When I woke up the next morning, after finally falling asleep, I had bruises on my stomach. Nobody had beaten me, so I did not understand where they had come from. My stomach ached like I had taken a beating, but it made no sense. Layla was still quiet. “Layla?” I asked but heard no response. I was sorry for her; we had just met in my mind, the night before. I had hoped to shift, but Layla said we would not shift as it was too soon and that we were special. But I feared I was already a disappointment for her. “You are not a disappointment, Marly,” Layla said softly before adding, “Our mate is the disappointment,” she replied before receding back in my mind. Looking at the clock, I raced downstairs to prepare breakfast for my family. “You are late,” my father scowled at me. “Sorry, Gamma,” I replied quickly preparing bacon and eggs for my family. I was not allowed to call my parents mom and dad. I could only addr
Marly POV I finished putting the meal together, as the doorbell rang indicating the guests had arrived. For these types of events, my parents insisted on putting on a show so I would join them for the meal. I was to eat a minimal amount of food and only speak when spoken to. I heard voices but could not make out who was here. I was silently plating food, when my mother walked in behind me. “Hurry up; everything had better be hot!” she scowled. She hated that I would be joining them for the meal, and I knew I had to be on my best behaviour. I carried the plates through to the dining room and almost tripped over my feet when I saw Maxwell standing there with his father, Alpha Luke. I caught Mason’s eye, seing him smirk at my surprise. I think looked away before I dropped the plates and placed them on the table, before returning with the final plates of food. “Everyone, please take your seats,” my father requ
Marly POV Before I could do anything, Cassie moved forward and slapped me across the face. “Get your hands off my boyfriend,” she yelled, as my parents and the Alpha came through the door. My mother moved forward and took the coffee from Maxwell, “My apologies Alpha. Allow me to take this,” my mother said, ever the helpful hostess. Everyone was ignoring my red face and looking to Cassie for an explanation. “What is the meaning of this, Cassie?” my father demanded. “My sister was kissing my boyfriend!” Cassie yelled. “I was not,” I started to say when Maxwell glared at me. What did that look mean? “It was a misunderstanding; no harm done,” the Alpha stated with a chuckle. No harm done? There was harm done. Maxwell was lying to everyone. He had the chance to tell them, and he chose not to. What was going on? I knew my eyes had hurt in them, but I could not release the tears that were stinging my eyes. “
Marly POV Tears filled my eyes, as I looked at the dress and shoes. They were destroyed. The shoes were marked up, and the dress was torn in various places of the dress. I looked at it in despair wondering if I would be able to salvage any of it. I worked all night on the dress and was finally satisfied enough to get a couple hours of sleep. I had to pack a bag as I would not be coming back to change for the ceremony. Secretly I packed some extra items, as I knew I would not be coming back at all. Anything of mine would be sent to the pack house, tomorrow once I had been named Maxwell’s Luna. The day flew by, with all the details coming together perfectly. I made sure every detail was perfection, before I quickly went to the common washroom to change. I heard the various guests arriving throughout the day, catching glimpses of the Alphas and Lunas from other packs who were here to celebrate Maxwell. I slip
Carson POV I hated these events. Even more so when I despised the Alpha of the pack. And the Red Pines Pack had been a thorn in my side for years. Ever since I took over the Full Moon Pack as the Alpha Lycan. I am one of five Lycans who had to fight for their pack in the Kingdom. We had to fight for our packs, and under us are the packs within our jurisdictions. Unfortunately, a few of the packs in my jurisdiction are run by assholes. I had my suspicions about the Red Pines Pack but could never prove anything. I sighed as I listened to Jeff, my Beta ramble on about us being late for the ceremony. “We are going to miss out on all the hot women,” Jeff muttered, as I laughed at him. “I am sure there will be a woman or two left for you,” I replied, as he smiled, “Undoubtedly,” he agreed. “What happens if you find your mate? You have been with almost every woman out there,” I reminded him. “I am convinced I h

Marly POV I had fear racing through my body. I knew this was necessary, but I also knew it was going to result in more challenges. Challenges I was not prepared to face. I knew Carson was strong, and would be prepared to fight for us, but was I strong enough to fight for us as well? “You are strong enough,” Layla assured me in my mind. “What good is being able to read someone’s past, if I cannot get close enough to them?” I questioned. “Marly, seeing the past is but one of your talents. Talents grow with the person and the wolf. You need to gain confidence in your abilities. You are more than you believe you are,” she shared with me. “What does that mean?” I asked, curious about what the future held. “I cannot tell you any more than that. Just trust me and promise me that you will fight for our future,” she said, as she slipped back in my mind. As if the conversation ended, I realized we were at the hospital doors.
Carson POV I took Marly’s hand and knew she was reluctant to go and see her ex-mate. “I will not leave you,” I promised her again as she went with me out the pack house door and towards the hospital. “I could wait in the hall for you,” she suggested, as I shook my head. “Until this is figured out, I am not letting you out of my sight,” I told her. We walked into the hospital, in time to see Jenna and Elder Timothy leaving the hospital. “What the hell are you two doing here?” I demanded. Jenna looked to Timothy, who simply shook his head, “We were visiting a new mother,” he advised. “Why would an Elder take on that responsibility?” I questioned, knowing they were both full of shit. No newborns had been brought into this world. I would have been advised. “As Luna, I take my responsibilities seriously,” Jenna replied, sounding offended at my lack of compassion. As I left them both, with Marly close at my side, I saw the doctor,
Marly POV “You are the missing sister,” I replied, watching her reaction. She looked embarrassed, ashamed and then angry. “I am hardly missing,” she stated, as she stared at me defiantly, continuing to look after Maxwell. “Why did you kidnap me?” I asked, watching her reaction. She looked at me with anger, “Your mate has my father; therefore, until your mate gives him back, you will suffer,” she said, as she turned her glare on Carson. I looked to Carson. They did not realize their father was dead. I looked to her, “Maxwell knows your father is dead,” I told her softly. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, “No, that is not true,” she whispered. “It is true. Ask him,” I encouraged her. She looked down to Maxwell. His eyes were closed, but she nudged him to open his eyes. The lies were evident on his face, “I am sorry,” he said, as the young woman started to cry.“Your father was evil and had to die,” Carson responded, n
Marly POV I could not open my eyes from the pain in my head. What had happened? I had been hit, and I blacked out. But not before I saw her. I was still confused about what had happened, but I needed to open my eyes and figure out where I was. As I opened my eyes, I realized it was pitch black. I was trapped in something. I paused and listened for clues as to where I was. I was moving, but the air was stuffy. I could hear people talking but could not make out what they were saying. I groaned as I tried to focus. I felt the movement slow down and then speed up again. A vehicle. I am in the trunk of a vehicle, I realize. Where are they taking me and why? I cannot sit here and wait for them to stop. I need to try and get out of here. I feel around, trying to feel for a weapon or something I can use if they stop suddenly. Finding nothing, I realize I will need to be the weapon. “I am with you, Marly,”
Marly POV Making love with Carson was the best experience of my life. I had not known that being close with your mate would be so special. It was more than I could have hoped for, and I wanted to do it again, and often, I thought with a chuckle. Carson looked up at me with a questioning look on his face, before his face changed and I could see he was mind-linking with someone. “Fuck!” he muttered, as he moved me gently off his body. I instantly felt cold and alone, “What is wrong?” I asked, getting out of the bed with him. “Rogues,” he said, as he turned to look at me. “You stay here. I will go and see what is going on,” he suggested, as I shook my head. “No, I want to go with you. We both know I am stronger than we thought. I can help,” I said, moving to throw one of his t-shirts over my naked body. “Marly, it is too dangerous to have you shift until we know what is coming at us,” Carson cautioned. I simply stared at him
Carson POV “Yes?” I asked, wanting to confirm what I had heard. Marly smiled shyly, “Yes” she confirmed. I bent down slowly and kissed her lips. They were so soft; I nibbled at them as she moaned against my mouth. I slipped my tongue between her open lips, sliding it against her tongue. Tasting her essence. I felt Marly’s hands move tentatively from around my waist up towards my chest. Her small hands were creating a ripple affect over my body. I felt a heat in the path of her movements. Her fingers went to the buttons of my shirt. She broke our kiss and kissed where she had opened the first button. She continued this as she moved down towards the bottom of the shirt. Standing, she licked her way back up my body, causing my heartbeat pick up in anticipation of what was to come next. She pushed the shirt off my shoulders, and let her fingers move across my body. “You are amazing, Carson,” she murmured as she moved closer
Marly POV I felt sick at the thought of not being who I thought I was. I did not see anything to indicate who my real parents would be. And could I take this as truth? Was it a made-up story in Alpha Luke’s mind? But if I believed that, then nothing I had seen was accurate. I had to believe that what I had seen was real. There were too many details to not have been real. “What do you mean?” Carson asked with concern. “I do not know any more than that. Just that my parents are not my real parents,” I shared. He took me into his arms, “We will figure this out, sweetheart. We will go see your parents, and get to the bottom of it all,” he promised me. I nodded, as we moved away from the Alpha’s body. He was gone and could not hurt me anymore. We walked into the fresh air, and I took a few deep breaths to clean my lungs of the smell of death. Carson pulled me closer, “What do we do now?” I asked softly. “No
