Braxton’s POV

I found an excuse to come over to Tristan’s and Addy’s house this morning. I kept telling myself not to, but I had to see her.

I am now standing in the kitchen a little bit a way from Addy as Tristan makes his way upstairs. As soon as I hear him shut his bedroom door. I turn to Addy, taking a deep breath. I try to get out my words. I spent all morning trying to find the right words to say to her, so things aren’t awkward between us, but that is exactly what it is right now.

Awkward.

“Hey” I said softly. As I moved closer to her. “Hey” she whispers, I am not sure I would have even heard it if I didn’t have my werewolf hearing. I can see how tense her body is, and I know I am making her uncomfortable. I hate that. I look her body up and down. I can’t help but notice how sexy she is and think about how bad I want her.

“Addy, I just wanted to say…umm…” She wouldn’t look at me, and I needed to see those beautiful blue eyes. I stepped closer to her and turne

    Alpha Jack POVAs Tristan explained what Addy remembered I started to realize that we would not be able to withhold this information from him and Braxton much longer. They take over as Alpha and Beta next week. We always agreed we would wait until Addy turned 18 which is in six weeks, and they would all learn the truth. Maybe we needed to divulge a little bit more information before then though. I need to talk to Maria and Blake before I make this decision on my own. With Andrew gone, I am not sure how to keep Addy as safe unless the boys know. I stand up as Tristan finishes up his story and walk over placing my hand on his shoulder. I know it’s been hard after the loss of his father. It has hurt us all, Andrew was not just my Beta but my best friend. We had been close since pups, just like our kids are now. “Tristan, your father is a hero. He sacrificed himself, to protect the life of our future. I know you boys don’t understand everything I am saying right now, but you

We had spent the morning chilling on the couch and having a movie day. Tristan decided we should cook the cookies first and then have Jimmy’s. I was surprised by his change of plans, but more so because he seemed like he was up something.We had spent our time baking laughing and singing along with the music on his playlist. I was pulling out the last batch of cookies, when I turned around and caught him grabbing a cookie off the cooling rack.“Tristan! I told you no cookies until we have them all packed up!” I yelled at him. He dodged away from me when I tried grabbing the cookie from him. I maybe the younger sister, but I can pack a punch. I have socked him and Braxton several times before for being jerks.“Oh, come on! It’s one cookie Addy. I couldn’t wait.” He takes a bite and groa

    Braxton’s POVI was finishing up in my office when Baylee walks in. I look up annoyed, “Baylee how many times have I asked you to knock before coming in?”She walks over and leans over my desk, pushing her breast up to show off more cleavage. “I just wanted to come and check to see if you need a stress relief.”I rubbed my temple in annoyance, I was not in the mood to deal with Baylee right now. “No Baylee, I am good right now.” I said trying not to show my complete annoyance. “Then maybe you would be willing to take me out to lunch, Alpha.” Baylee says with a sickening sweet voice. “as friends,” She finished. I looked up at her. I was hungry, and Baylee was a friend, I guess, before we started fucking. She has comforted me lately, so maybe taking her out wouldn’t be terrible.“Okay, I will take you out to lunch, as friends.” I say, emphasizing as friends at the end.“Yeah!” She jumped up and clapped like a small child and cheered. What happened to not giving her any ideas? B

We jump out and pull down the tail gate, so we had somewhere to throw off our shirts and shoes.As we strip down to our bikini tops, we look around. Several grills were set up where some of the guys would grill meat later at the top of the hill. There are several pre shifters here, all of which are from my senior class and pack.“Okay Ladies, let’s go find some hunks to hang out with.” Gabby says while rubbing her hands together.“Gabs you look like you are getting ready to eat.” I laugh at her. She shrugs her shoulders at me, and smirks, “Well we are about to give the guys around here a feast for their eyes.” Lizzy and I both laugh at her, as we walk down closer to the beath. “I think I found one to ogle at while we are here,” Lizzy says while she stares off towards the volleyball court where a game had already started. “Yeah, Greg does have the abs that’s for sure,” Gabby said in response.

He’s the goofball of the bunch. He always has us rolling with laughter, and we have seriously needed some more laughter after this last week. Tristan and I had already asked him to be our Gamma. We will have an official meeting on Monday with my dad and Gamma Blake, but we are already preparing for him to swear in on Saturday right along with Tristan and I. “We should have gone out to the lake and crashed the littles party, man. Torture them a little bit before we have to take on more serious rolls as ‘leaders of the pack’” Aaron says with a dramatically deep voice at the end.Tristan and I laugh at his imitation. “Nah man, Addy needed this. She needs time away to let loose and be with the girls. It’s been a rough week for her.”“Oh, she’s not only with the girls” Aaron says looking towards

They are coming for Addy, and we needed to think this through.“All three of the boys are going to be staying there until she gets out. You know they won’t leave her side. They don’t know why yet, but you can already see the pull they all feel for her.” Maria said as she sat on the couch curled up next to me.“It will help her heal if they stay, especially Braxton. I know they don’t feel the full effect of the mate bond, but it will help her.” Blake said while sitting across from us in the side chair.I hear a chuckle out of Maria and look down. “What my love?”“They don’t even know their mates, but their pull is so strong. Brax is already in love with her. Did you see the way he looked, and he would have killed that young pup if you didn’t pull him off.” Maria responded to me.“Brax has been in love with her

The last thing I remember was…Brax, well Blaze. He came to save me.I try moving my hands, but they are stuck, it’s like something is holding them down. I try moving my legs and they feel the same, it’s like a heavy weight is across my legs. Why can’t I move? I try opening my eyes. They feel so heavy, almost like they are glued shut. I try again and a little light starts slipping through my eye lids. The room is dark. I’m not really sure where I am. I look around the room and notice the medical machines beeping next to me. I realize I am in the hospital. He saved me.I look down at my right hand and I see Tristan holding one hand while his head is down on the bed beside it asleep.

    Tristan POVAll three of us left Addy after Lizzy and Gabby showed up. I made sure they promised to keep an eye on her and if she ever started to feel bad, they were to call me immediately. I would keep my phone on me the entire time just in case. When we got to Alpha Jack’s office all three of us walked in and took a seat on the couch. Alpha Jack, Luna Maria, and Gamma Blake were all there. I started to have a feeling that this meeting wasn’t going to be normal. Alpha Jack looked over at Gamma Blake and he stood up and locked the door. He came back over and sat in the chair in front of us. They had arranged for three chairs to sit in front of us, it was a bit intimidating if I am being honest.“Well, this just got intense,” Aaron said as Gamma Blake sat back down. “I need to make sure we aren’t interrupted, and yes, this will get intense. The information we are about to give you…It’s going to be hard to believe.” Alpha Jack said while looking directly at me. I had a feelin

I felt like it was kind of odd, but Emily assures us she had left to run errands and was probably just taking longer than expected. I wonder if she is purposely not coming to avoid me. “You Good man?” I look up to see Tristan eyeing me. “Yeah, yeah I am fine. Just…thinking, that’s all.”“Why do you keep rubbing at your chest? Did you get hurt out there too?” His question had everyone in the room turning towards me. I didn’t even notice until he pointed it out, that I had been rubbing at my chest. “Nah man. I am good. Just feeling a little tight, I guess.” I respond. I don’t really know how to explain this sensation that I have been feeling for the last hour or so, it’s like a line is being pulled tight in my heart. I reach up and rub again, right as the Doc walks in.He eyes me for a second, scrunc

I start backing away from the room, trying to breath, I know that an anxiety attack is coming. I am struggling for breath, but I can’t let them know I am here. I have to think, I have to figure out what to do. I run out of the hospital as fast as I can, trying to make sure no one notices me. I run out to the forest, and I am about to shift when I remember what they said. Shifting will put my pack in danger again. I take deep breaths, walking a little further away, before leaning up against a tree. I drop down beside it, pulling my knees up to my chest, letting the tears fall.Aurora, what do we do? I don’t know Addy. I know we are powerful but putting others in danger…we don’t

My mind was in a complete frenzy as I took off down the stairs and out the back door. I was still scared to know about Braxton and the girls. Praying everyone was alright, but right now, I had to get to my brother. Right as I ran through the back door, I run directly into a hard chest. I stumbled back a few steps, as large arms wrapped around me. I looked up into Braxton’s eyes. My fear immediately changed into anger, before I could even think about what I was doing. I took a step back, out of his arms, and I flung my arm connecting a sharp slap to his cheek. “You are an asshole.” I didn’t wait for a response, before turning on my heels and heading straight to the hospital. I had to get to my brother. He had to be okay. He just had to be. I couldn’t lose him too. I got the hospital quickly, and as soon as

    Braxton’s POVI stand there looking at the door, listening to her yell at me, “Braxton! Don’t you dare!” I put my hand on the door and whisper to her, “I love you, Moon.” I turn back towards the door to see Aaron standing there with his arms crossed. “You know she is going to kill you right?”I grunt at him as I stride past him. “I don’t have a choice; this is the only way to protect her. We have to protect her at all costs.” “Never said I didn’t agree with protecting her, but she is going to kill you. If we don’t die before that.” He shrugs at me as we step onto the back patio of the packhouse. The decorations are still up from Addy’s party, I was about to mate and mark her before this, now it’s all been taken away. My anger intensifies as I think about how these scum of the earth rouges interrupted my first night with my mate. “She will get over it.” I growl as I pull my shirt off and drop my pants to shift, not fully convinced I will get over what has been taken away from

I know its not directed at me, but a shiver still runs down my spine.“What do we know?” I ask as I walk up beside Brax.“You are going to go to the safe room and stay there until this over. Tristan is already leading the front lines. We…”“I’m sorry, What!?” I cut him off. I didn’t give a shit at this moment if he was my mate or my alpha. Right now, he was just being a jerk. “Addy, you can’t be out there.” I could see the tension in his body, and we were wasting time standing here talking.“The hell I can’t!” I start walking pass them both out into the hallway. There was no way he was going to stop me. I was one of our top warriors before I got my wolf, now having her, I was even stronger.

    Braxton’s POVWe had been traveling for over 12 hours. We left early this morning to get back in plenty of time for Addy’s party, only to be met with every road washed away or completely blocked by debris. Aaron and I traveled to the north side of the territory where we would find the only roads that lead back into our territory that were not washed away. Cell service was spotty at best up here, so I wasn’t even able to send out any calls or text messages. We were just a few miles out of our territory before I was able to get enough service to text Tristan. Braxton: Just a few miles out. Is the party over?Tristan: Yeah, just finished up. Braxton: Shit. Did Addy go home or is she staying at the pack house?Tristan: She’s staying at the packhouse tonight. Braxton: Thanks man. I will see you tomorrow.Tristan: See you tomorrow.

    Addy’s POVI squinted my eyes open with bright light beaming into my room. I rolled over to look at the clock and noticed it was already noon. I blinked my eyes, trying to see if I was reading the clock correctly when a knock sounded on my door. I looked up towards the door to see Emily stepping in quietly.“Good afternoon, Sunshine,” she beamed at me. “Did you sleep well?”I rubbed my eyes, before sitting up and smiling back at her. “Yes, very well. You were not joking about how the first shift is exhausting.” I mumbled through my grogginess.“It gets better. The next time you shift it won’t take as much energy.” She supplies walking further into the room, sitting down on the edge of the bed.“So, today is a big day,” She smiles at me. I give her a small smile, still groggy and my heart slumps at the thought of what I was missing. “Is Braxton and Aaron back?” I can’t help the words from tumbling out of my mouth. I am trying not to sound disappointed, but I miss them, I miss
