The Making of a King 39
ATTICUS POV The thick wooden door practically groans as we knock once more.Our sensitive ears can hear Logan moving inside, but he isn't answering. Finally as we go to knock again the door swings open. Logan's face instantly goes from annoyed to surprised and then to apologetic. "I'm sorry. I am a little behind schedule. Come in, Atticus. What can I do for you," Logan says as he steps back and runs a hand down his stressed face. "I only need a moment of your time. The W.O.L.F agents I left in charge at Pack Kincaid have sent word that my house is finally finished. Karina and I will be leaving tomorrow," we say and then bite our lip. Hopefully Karina comes with me tomorrow. We haven't spoken with her yet. We decided to inform Logan first. What if Karina isn't ready? We will have to return without out her until she follows. "Oh, that's wonderful. I mean we are sorry to see the two of you go, but I know the pack over there needs you," Logan says as he sits down behind the big

ATTICUS POV "Wow, this is really nice," Karina says as she takes in the living room of the new Kincaid Packhouse. We have to admit the natural wood floors and leather furniture look wonderful in the large living room. The decorations are welcoming but don't make the space feel cramped. At least half the members could relax in the space at a time which is what we asked for. "Thank you, Future Queen. The pack members worked hard. They created large communal areas and rather moderate living quarters, per King Atticus's instructions. This floor has a thirty by twenty-two living room with a wood fireplace, a large kitchen with an island big enough to seat eight, a large formal dining room that can fit fifty, two small omega bedrooms, and a small bathroom situated between the bedrooms. Upstairs has three good-sized bedrooms, an office, a huge storage closet, and three bathrooms. Each area has been furnished in the same style as this room here. We felt it was warm but blank enough for

ATTICUS POV Easy. We can do this. Present the offer and leave if she refuses. If she becomes upset leave. Karina can speak with her if she becomes distraught. We can do this. We can do this. We raise our hand and knock on the weathered-looking door gently. It looks as if it could be blown off with a gentle breeze much less one of our full-blown knocks. Destroying her front door won't win her over. "Coming," a faint voice calls out. After about thirty seconds the aged door opens to reveal Mrs. Frost. A tall thinner woman with graying red hair and sharp brown eyes... The first widower on my list of possible omegas.Her welcoming expression drops as soon as she takes us in, but we keep our face neutral. She can have whatever opinion she wants. We expected nothing less. "May I help you, ...King," she asks reluctantly and we see the pull at her thin lips. At the age of fifty-five, Mrs. Frost is a good candidate for being an omega. She is past the age of having children and it

ATTICUS POV We stretch a second before turning the next page in one of the books Logan sent us.We have been reading Alpha leadership books for hours now and we feel better about leading a group of people. Each book has covered different issues that have been plaguing our mind. Topics such as finances, diplomacy, and even counseling roles. No wonder Patrick Thurman was such a good Alpha. He had all this study material at his disposal and it seems he used it. "knock" "knock" the sound rings out seconds before my office door opens and Karina's face pops in smiling. "Hey, got a second? I wanted to update you on Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Harris," Karina asks and we nod eagerly while closing the thick book. "Good," she responds as she steps in and closes the door behind her. We take the brief second her back is turned to check her out and instantly grow stiff.Her worn out jeans are hugging every curve of her lower body. Her plain light blue t-shirt isn't revealing, but it looks so sof

KARINA POV Fear twists my insides as I pace back and forth in the pack house living room. Atticus ran out of the house a good hour ago and we haven't heard a word since."Karina, honey, sit down," Mrs. Harris says softly but I shake my head yet again. The two women haven't spoken much since they came running out of their rooms at the sound of Atticus's roars, but they have asked me repeatedly to sit down. I just can't do it. I can't relax until he is back. I know my mate is the King. I know there isn't a single wolf alive that can defy him, but what if he never gets the chance to give a command? What if they hit him with an illegal weapon? Rupert had so many illegal weapons. It wouldn't surprise me to see lone wolves in this area with them. "Karina he is strong. He won't let those assholes get far," Mrs. Frost says and I am taken aback by her confidence in Atticus, but I decide not to respond. I wrap my arms around myself and take another lap around the huge room. Gone is the

ATTICUS POV The gentle breeze of the night tickles our nose as we watch the trees sway. Possible scenarios and bad thoughts have been torturing our mind ever since we came upstairs. Hurting one of our loyal agents wasn't something we planned on doing. Pity for Layla's pain is turning our insides. The lone wolves have murdered at least one wolf and we decided to give them a second chance. They didn't have to kill, but they did. They chose the worst course of action every since leaving the Kincaid pack and we felt bad for them because of Rupert. We felt like they were the same as us, but now that we have thought about it more we feel like we were wrong.What have we done? Just because someone bad hurt them we decided it was okay they hurt others. We should have killed them on the spot, but the look in their eyes made us soft. We can't save everyone we have a pack to protect. We sigh harshly and close our eyes. Just as despair threatens to swallow us our favorite scent begins to

KARINA POV "Chloe, We did it. We are mated," I whisper as I press the phone to my ear and peek around the hallway to make sure neither of the new omegas are close. I don't know why but I feel anxious almost fearful as I slowly make my way down the quiet hall. Calling my loved ones was the only thing I could think of to help my unease. "WHAT?! That's amazing," Chloe shrieks and I chuckle as a blush tints my face. I knew she would be happy for us. She is such a good support system. Not even my mom sounded as excited as Chloe does now."There was an incident here that made me realize I didn't want to wait," I say with a small smile and Chloe goes quiet."What happened," she asks, and I pause. The situation hasn't been handled yet and I don't know the protocol between packs. But this is Chloe. Her and Logan are our strongest allies. Surely Atticus wouldn't mind me telling her. I am just letting my anxious feeling make me second guess everything. "We were attacked by a group of

ATTICUS POV Our body twitches and flexes as we watch our mate board the train. How she convinced us to let her go is still baffling us. We gave the agent accompanying her strict orders but something could still happen to her. She is going to a place of conflict. Conflict in Outcast. We can't believe it. Every book we have read says Outcast has never had any issues. It's design has always served it's purpose well. But now they are having issues. Now that we are King it is having problems. Worst case scenarios begin to run through our mind. We begin to picture pain and blood covering Karina's face. Our vision blurs as a tornado of white-hot terror explodes inside our chest. "Atticus, I will be okay," Karina calls over her shoulder and we blink rapidly so we can focus on her face before nodding. She is rubbing her chest as she looks me over and we quickly realize she felt our fear once again. "We will see you when you return," we manage to say, and she nods before blowing us

KARINA POV"Twins. I mean animals have twins. I have seen the sheep have them," Chloe says as she looks down at the two miracles.I smile and nod. It's been three days and I still can't believe it. When I told Chloe I had given birth I didn't tell her I brought two lives into the world. She wasn't expecting the tiny female wrapped in pink lying next to her brother."She is so tiny," Chloe says as she gently strokes the dark hair on Klaire's small head.I nod and wrap my arms around myself. I still get overwhelmed when I look at them. I can't seem to handle how much love I have for them and the thought of the day they will leave me forever is already weighing on me."You okay," Chloe asks as she looks up from my pups to see me hugging myself.I nod and give her a forced smile.She cocks her head and gives me a cut the bull shit glare. I sigh. She knows me too well to fall for that."I am so happy and so lucky. I mean I made history. I gave birth to not one but two Alpha pups. Klarc is h
The Making of a King 73
ATTICUS POV Pain rips up our spine and we hold back our scream just before Karina's tears through the air. "That's it. You are doing great," the healer says as she stares at our mate's exposed privates. Karina's water broke ten hours ago and we have been anxious ever since. Our pup is over a month early. He isn't supposed to be coming and we are terrified something is wrong with him. Karina's pregnancy has been easy. We haven't had a single worry until today. "Ahhhhhh," Karina screams as she squeezes our hand again and we try to focus on her instead of the pain. From our time in the dungeon watching other females give birth we know she seems to be doing okay. She is having regular contractions and she isn't bleeding abnormally. "I can see the top of his head. Push, my Queen. He is almost here," the healer says and Karina releases our hand so she can grab her knees. She bares down harder than before and his head emerges in between her thighs. We gasp but no one focuses

KARINA POV I smile as little Pat flies up into the air and Logan catches him again. He giggles every time his brown hair lifts off his forehead and it couldn't be more adorable.Our little Klarc pushes against my hand as if to say he wants to play with Logan too and I look down at my stomach with my smile still on my face.I know Atticus wasn't a fan of my favorite name for our little Alpha, but I decided he would come around to it so Klarc it is. "So everyone has settled in nicely," Atticus asks as he focuses in on the main Alpha that he trusts.I look up from my protruding stomach to see Logan settle Pat in his lap. He looks at Atticus and gives him his full attention. I do the same.This is why Atticus invited them to our new pack house. He wants to find out how the others are adjusting. I study my mate's features intently. He has been strained the past few days and I have grown concerned. He wants everything to be perfect for everyone. Even though that isn't possible. What is
The Making of a King 71
ATTICUS POV We grunt with effort as we push down the last wall to another member's old house. All belongings have already been removed from most of the old houses so the pack's move has transitioned to stage two, demolition. "Move to the next group of homes," we call out to the other males helping us break apart the homes. The cleanup crew will follow behind us and dispose of the rubbish. They will also pile the wood and burn it. We don't want to leave a mess behind us for nature to deal with. We want the land to return to normal after we leave. We also told all of the other packs to do the same. We begin to head toward the next group of homes while wiping the sweat from our brow.The new territory is now ready for all of us to move in, but we have decided to move in one pack at a time starting in the center, and since that is Pack Kincaid's we are moving first. "Ready," we call out as we surround the midsized home. We receive a varied response of yes and yeahs from the o

KARINA POV rated R I knock on Atticus's office door lightly as I open it and he smiles as he sees me. "How was your visit," Atticus asks as he puts down the paper he is scanning. I smile and close the door behind me. "Perfect. Thank you for calling her. I didn't realize I needed to talk to her so badly," I reply as I sit down in the chair across from him. He gives me a knowing smile and I get lost for a second as I look him over. His dark eyes and hair make him so sultry. Not to mention the shirt he has on is a little on the tighter side. All his muscles are on clear display. His broad shoulders and hard pecks make me want to drool. "She always knows how to get you to talk... and I know some things you aren't comfortable sharing with me," Atticus says as he lifts the piece of paper back up. Something in his tone draws me out of my ogling and I look back at his face. He seems almost sad like his feelings are hurt because I spoke with Chloe instead of him. I need to smooth
The Making of a King 69
KARINA POV My eyes flutter open for a brief second before they snap closed again. The light from the window paired with the grainy feeling already in my eyes hurts as I roll onto my back. I want to groan and go back to sleep, but I know I freaked my mate out last night. He will need to be reassured that I am alright. I sniffle a little and my eyes snap open once more, but this time in alarm. A familiar but out-of-place scent has filled my nostrils and sleep has completely left my mind. "Chloe what are you doing here," I question as I sit up and focus on my best friend sitting in my reading chair. She smiles at me but doesn't answer. Instead, she moves to my bed and sits down. "How are you feeling," she asks and I shake my head. She is skipping past my question because she knows I don't like causing problems. Pulling Chloe away from her son and her mate is definitely a problem. "I am fine. You should be at home with your son and your mate," I say voicing my thoughts a
The Making of a King 68
KARINA POV As the last of the Alphas board the train to return to their packs, I glance up at my mate. He has seemed withdrawn and pensive ever since Alpha Johnson overstepped. Even Logan couldn't draw out any more direct answers from him. "What's wrong," I ask as we begin to walk back. He glances down at me for only a second before looking away and I grow anxious. Maybe he is mad at me for suggesting the meeting. Now there is tension with an Alpha who leads the biggest pack. He probably caused the other Alphas to have an issue with Atticus's authority too. I am such a bad mate. I made this harder for him."Alpha Johnson has a large pack. His father and Grandfather eliminated a few Alpha families. They took over their lands and gained control of their packs. He is going to be a problem. I am wondering what the ex-agents know about him. We should look into how he treats his pack before the move," Atticus says and I bite my bottom lip.This meeting was supposed to smooth out our
The Making of a King 67
ATTICUS POV Light beams off the surface of the fresh snow and we squint as we try to look out over the miles of simple buildings. In a few more months everything will be complete. Werewolves will finally be able to move to their safe new homes. New schools and new businesses will hopefully thrive and thousands of bonds will be strengthened. "What do you think," Karina asks as she looks out at the progress. "I like it. The homes are closer together than what we are used to but between each pack, I put a few miles of cleared land. That way we have places to roam. Plus outside of all the packs is plenty of wilderness for all of us to use together " we reply and she nods. She seems worried as she bites her bottom lip and looks down at her hands. Her baby bump is more pronounced now and I know she stares at it when she is deep in thought about things. Something about this move is upsetting her and we don't like it. "Do you think we can all get along this close to one another," Kar
The Making of a King 66
ATTICUS POV Unease fills our gut as we sit with the exhausted-looking father and our attention drifts toward the open office door. Karina's scent is still strong. We can faintly hear Chloe as she talks to her, but still, the feeling in our gut worries us. "I have told him he needs to take a break," Gavin says and our eyes flick back toward Logan. His worn face does nothing to hide his annoyance with his beta. "I am fine. Chloe deserves rest. I am okay," Logan snaps and we glance toward the wall behind him. A picture of Patrick with his beta Hank from their teenage years smiles back at us. Curiosity and sympathy for the young Alpha joins our inner turmoil. "You named your son after your father," we say quietly and the two males go silent as they follow our line of sight to the picture."Yeah. He was a great... male," Logan says stumbling a little."He was. He wasn't perfect. But he was a great leader and a good Father," we reply and the room goes quiet as we all look at the
