Thank goodness everyone is finally back from the gathering. I thought I was going to go crazy with everything. Well, I did have help. Former Alpha Seth has been doing a lot of the tasks along with his Beta, but I still have double if not triple the tasks that I normally would have. With Wyatt and Ford back, things will hopefully go back to normal.
Plus, I want them to meet my mate.
I still can’t believe that Donna found me. I have given up hope, but the Moon Goddess showed me some mercy and sent Donna back to me.
My mate is finally settling in with the pack too, which makes me happy. I wasn’t sure how she would take everything, since we are so different from other packs. That is always a worry not only to the elders, but to the whole pack.
If someone can’t accept what our pack is like, then the pack runs the risk of being discovered. However, after Wyatt has introduced our
I don’t know what to say. I’m still trying to absorb and fully understand everything that I have learned today. I thought the threat of a werewolf war is something too big and nearly impossible, but after being here, I quickly find out that isn’t true. Plus, now, I find out some werewolves have powers or abilities, not to mention that now I can read minds. This is almost like something out of some supernatural movie, but it isn’t. It is all real. Even knowing all of this, I’m not afraid, one bit, to go through the ceremony. I’m pretty calm, and the decision is rather easy for me. In addition, Alpha Wyatt and the elders have agreed I will help Mason in training to get the pack ready for the upcoming war. I’m honored they have so much faith in me already, but I don’t know if I will be able to meet their expectations. I know my mate is the lead warrior and trains the pack, but I’ll be the first
Alpha Marcus“WHAT!?!” I slam my hand down on the desk. I don’t know how this has happened, but I need to get that pack back. They are vital to my push to get their neighboring packs to line with me. Not to mention that they have a lucrative wholesale business, which includes a nice import/export branch.I want that pack!I glare at Beta Malcolm.Through gritted teeth, I hiss, “They were ready to sign at the gathering. Why did they back out? Or do you know?”Beta Malcolm calmly stares back at me. “They didn’t really say. What they did say is that they now have a conflict that they won’t be able to sign our alliance agreement. I didn’t push the issue either.”What a freaking idiot. Why didn’t he push the matter? I need to know their reasons so I can counter them. If I don’
Tammy POVUgh… I feel like I got ran over by a freight train.I don’t think there is one part of my body that doesn’t hurt. I have been beaten many times before, but this time I think it is the worse. But why am I alive? When I was closing my eyes, I thought the Moon Goddess had finally granted me my wish, which is to leave this horrible life and world. I guess I was wrong.I slowly open my eyes.Everything is white, with a constant beeping sound in the background. I slowly turn my head, trying to take in anything that will be able to tell me where I am.“OH MY! TAMMY!! YOU’RE AWAKE!!”I try to quickly turn my head towards the voice, but my sore muscles won’t let me move that fast. When I slowly turn my head, I’m met by a cute girl with dark brown hair and a button nose, who is both happy, but also very worried.
Wyatt POVI look across my desk at the Supreme Elder, who is sitting calmly in front of my desk. This is one of the few times she and I can be alone and talk a little more in detail about things. I really want to pick her brain, because she often holds so much back. I also know she can tell us everything. The downside is if she does, things often change and don’t actually happen the way she has seen them.I don’t want to waste any of our time, and I immediately go straight to the point. “So, what is actually going to happen? Or should I say, what should I be cautious of?”The Supreme Elder slowly shakes her head. “Alpha Wyatt, you know I can’t tell you that much information. The closest information I can give you is buried in my riddles. The Moon Goddess doesn’t like for me to give the information directly to you.”Ugh. I kn
Bridget POV“What did you say?” I look across the desk at Wyatt. I can’t believe what he is telling me. He thinks I can find these people with only those vague clues. I don’t even know what those riddles are supposed to mean, let alone how I’m going to use it to find them.Yes, the Supreme Elder has been working with me to try and improve my ability to see all werewolves. However, it is going along very slowly, and when I mean very slowly, I mean that is going along at a snail's pace. I still don’t have a clue about what I’m doing.How am I going to find these people if I can’t use my ability?Wyatt sighs and looks at me. “I said for us to try and find the one girl who can hide. The Supreme Elder said she is a wolf in disguise. I’m thinking that is code for she can hide well or something like that.”I
Is this the place? I look at the small white house with black shutters while I recall the image from my mate’s mind. Yep.I’m still amazed that Bridget was able to do this on her first attempt. It did take some time, but looking at it as a whole, it really didn’t take her too long. She didn’t know what she was doing, but she could still concentrate and find someone.Truthfully, I believe this person is the one the Supreme Elder was talking about being a pawn, but others think he is a bishop. However, she won’t confirm anything until we bring the individual back.Wyatt chimes, “This is it. I just wish I had a name to go with the face. What am I going to say if he doesn’t answer the door? Hello, I’m looking for someone who can appear not to be a beta….”Katelyn shakes her head. “No, but I’m sure we will think of somethin
A smile instantly appears on Katelyn’s face, along with her deep dimples. “Most of us have some sort of ability, similar to your ability to make people think you are an alpha when you are actually a beta. I’m fortunate enough to be able to heal people.”Scott’s eyes suddenly pop wide open while he listens to our Luna.Wyatt chimes, “One of my abilities is to see what abilities other werewolves possess. You don’t even have to tell us, and I already know you can disguise your second gender.”Scott’s eyes slowly drift towards Wyatt. However, he doesn’t say anything.My mate adds, “Once you are accepted into the pack and go through the ceremony, you will gain the same ability as everyone else in the pack. You will be able to read people’s minds, both human and werewolf.”I quickly bite my lip, trying to keep myself from laughing as Scott&rs
Mason POVI walk in front of the trainees as I bark, “You have to be 100% prepared for the upcoming war. This isn’t the time for you to slack off. We should help the new trainees, too. They are at a clear disadvantage since they haven’t trained with us before. I’m not going to say that all of them are clueless about fighting, but some have never stepped foot on a training field before. So, not only focus on your training, but when needed, help the newbies so they can learn everything faster.”I glance around the field. Everyone appears to understand as they nod.I turn my focus back to the section where all the newbies are at, including Fiona. She had been missing our training session to sit and keep Tammy company, but now that Tammy is awake, Fiona has agreed to come out for a bit to begin learning how to fight again. All of this is new to her.Howe
Katelyn POV I walk across my bedroom to the crib. Even though the baby is crying, and you can’t hear anything except him, I smile as I stop at the edge. Our first born and the next alpha to the Sun Moon pack. My pride and joy. I lean over the edge of the crib and softly coo, “Are you mad, Max? You can’t be hungry. You just had your milk.” I gently pick him up from the crib and begin to sway back and forth, while cradling my son in my arms. “Hush, baby. You need to rest. You have to grow up to be big and strong.” However, Max continues to cry. Knock. Knock. Still swaying back and forth, I glance up at the door. “Come in.” The door opens and Fiona pokes her head into the bedroom. “Uhm, you can’t get him to calm down again?” I slowly shake my head. She steps into the bedroom. “Do you want me to help?
I breathe a sigh of relief at seeing Alpha Marcus lying motionless on the ground. However, it is short-lived as I turn and scan the battlefield. My heart aches seeing all the injured and dead werewolves. This didn’t need to get to this point.A faint smile suddenly spreads across my face as my eyes stop at Sammy and Katelyn. Sammy is getting up off the ground and is completely healed. As she stands, she changes from her light tan wolf to Alpha Marcus’ gray wolf.Well, at least she is feeling well enough to use her abilities. That is a good sign.My mate is amazing.My smile slowly fades as my eyes spot Mike, who is staring at Katelyn and Sammy. What is Mike doing? He knows he can never have Katelyn again. Right.My thoughts are interrupted when the Supreme Elder calmly walks out of the trees, along with a few of the other elders, and scans around the open fiel
Mike POVI slowly open my eyes. The bright sun instantly makes me squint and close them again.I’m alive.I thought I was dead.I’m sure that I was being ripped to pieces.I lift my arm to block the bright sun from my eyes as I slowly open them back up. Wait. I thought I was in my wolf form. My wolf!I mentally ask, “Are you still here with me?”My wolf slowly mumbles, “Yeah, but I need to rest.”Oh, that is a relief.I move to sit up, but pain instantly shoots through my entire body. I quickly look down at my body, trying to see how bad the damage is, but I don’t see any. Wait. Where are my injuries?I quickly touch my legs and turn them slightly, but nothing. There isn’t one injury there. My eyes quickly go to my stomach and my chest, as my hands randomly pat that a
I watch from the side of the clearing as Mike goes limp on the battleground. NO!!!I try to run towards him, but Ford’s wolf quickly bites my ear and stops me. Through the mind link, he barks, “Bridget, baby, follow the plan. We know that this could be a possibility if Mike came here, but we can’t stop now. We have to take down Alpha Marcus.”I glance back at Mike, but he is gone. The only wolf laying lifeless on the ground now is Caleb.I slowly nod my head.Through the mind link, I announce, “It is time! Sammy, be careful. Everyone, get into position. Tammy and Fiona, you need to make sure that you focus and only use your powers against Alpha Marcus.”I glance around the battlefield. Again, through my mind link, I make an announcement to all the werewolves, except Alpha Marcus. “The future beta Caleb is dead, along with many others who supp
I bolt through the trees, over the boulders, and around the bushes. I move my feet as fast as I can. With each step, my heart pounds harder as the sound of battle hits my ears. The growls of victory along with the howls of pain stab my heart. This shouldn’t be happening, and it is all because of my father. His sick need to be the most powerful and have everyone bow down to him is too much. It must stop.No wonder my mother isn’t anywhere to be found. I’m sure that she couldn’t handle him either.With that thought running through my mind, I jump into the clearing. The sight that meets me is not something that I have ever wanted to see. Werewolves are everywhere and fighting to the death. The stench of blood and death is in the air.Nearby, several wolves are torn apart laying lifeless in a pool of their own blood on the ground while several other dead werewolves are sc
Wyatt POVKatelyn and I stand on either side of the wounded beta. We take our hands off the beta as he opens his eyes. After shifting back to his human form as we heal him, he looks between my mate and me, before he asks, “What happened? I thought I was going to die.”I shake my head. “Not today. We won’t let that happen.”A faint smile dances across Katelyn’s face. “We brought you back, and we will heal others too, as the battle continues.”Before the beta can ask anymore, I say, “Since you are back, we will go onto the next one.”Katelyn and I stand up and look around the battlefield, while the beta glances between my mate and me. However, we don’t get any rest, as Zee and Scott bring another severely injured warrior from one of our packs.The beta continues to sit and watch us as Katelyn and I take the injured
I burst into the clearing. The growls and howls of battle have been ringing through the forest, but I’m still surprised when I come into the clearing. Not only is Alpha Marcus’ pack here, but all of his allies, along with all of our allies. The clearing is full of werewolves. All of them are fighting with everything that they have.Our first wave of warriors appears from the forest at the same time that Katelyn, Ford, Bridget and I arrive. The plan is to have Katelyn and Bridget stay along the sidelines to use their abilities to locate people and heal them, if needed. The key person who we are trying to locate is Alpha Marcus.I glance around the field. I see a lot of blood and the smell of death is in the air, while fangs and claws continue to fly everywhere, but I’m not seeing Alpha Marcus yet.Before I can ask, Bridget states via the mind link, “Alpha Marcus isn’t here y
Mason POVWyatt has given the signal that things will happen fast now. Alpha Marcus has people trying to find out who is meddling with his allies’ companies.It is only a matter of time now.However, we still will not bring the physical fight to our pack lands. That doesn’t mean that our allies won’t see the war coming to them, though. When Alpha Marcus realizes our pack is behind everything, our allies won’t be safe either.Luckily, we have come up with a plan for that. Donna’s old pack is more than willing to have the physical fight on their pack lands, which is actually the best location. Her former pack’s lands are at the edge of Alpha Marcus’ alliance pack lands. On the other hand, our alliance packs are located practically in a semi-circle around her old pack, which is why it makes perfect sense to have the physical fight there.
Katelyn POV“I said that I’m just tired. There is no need to have the doctor look at me.” I scan the small group of people in my bedroom. Yes. My bedroom.I woke up just a few moments ago to Wyatt, Ford, Bridget and Dr. Bright standing beside the bed. They are all looking down at me, but I honestly don’t have the energy to fight right now. I’m just so tired.Bridget smiles and sits down on the bed next to me. She gently grabs my hands. “Katelyn, I saw the last two puzzle pieces. That is why we are here.”Wyatt huffs, “You still haven’t told me why you brought the doctor with you or who the last two pieces are.”With Bridget still looking at me, she smiles and gently rubs her thumbs against the back of my hands. “Their names are Max and Trish.”Wyatt sighs. “Okay. When are
