Alpha Marcus POV
The first group of new alliance members is scheduled to come to my office and sign the alliance contracts today. This is just the beginning, but it won’t be long before I finally have what I’ve been wanting.
To be the king.
With a smile on my face and the first contract to be signed today in my hand, I walk around my desk and head to the small table surrounded by couches on either side and a chair at the end. I happily set two copies of the contract on the table next to the pens, already on the table.
I’m so close. I can almost taste victory already.
Knock. Knock.
I quickly hide my smile and turn my attention to the door, as I chime, “Come in.”
My secretary walks in. “Sir, your first appointment is here.”
I nod my head. “Good. Show them in.”

Beta Malcolm, who is s
High Elder Rose POV I glance around the table. There aren’t too many here, but we have some of the most critical people right now. With Wyatt and the others trying to find the missing pieces, Seth and I have decided we need to move ahead and help my daughter with this brewing battle in the various ways we can, which is currently through Seth’s companies. Some would call it the less painful method. However, I often think financial ruin is harder to deal with than the aches and pains from a physical fight. You can get over the body aches much quicker than you can get over the financial plight of a pack going broke. Seth clears his throat. “First, I want to say I’m really thankful you all are able and willing to come into the company on your day off. I know I usually don’t hold meetings on the weekend, but this can’t be helped.” He takes a moment and looks around the table. Besides me, the
Mike POV Can I actually move out? Or better yet, can I throw the backstabbing, power-hungry Bambi out? I still can’t believe she worked with my father to get me to mark her. I have trusted them, and they all have betrayed me. I continue to pace back and forth in my bedroom. Could I really kick Bambi out without any issue? That would be the best option, but the rule of the pack is that I must have a mate beside me to take the alpha title. Wait. What am I talking about? I should already have the alpha title. If my father is willing to deny me my true happiness all for power, is he really going to allow me to actually take the alpha title? I stop and stand frozen like a statue. My father is power hungry. He betrayed me about my mate just to get another alliance under his belt. I’m not even talking about all the dirty tricks that I
“YOU WHAT!?!?” I can’t control myself as I scream through the mind link at my idiot cousin. How can he be so stupid?Luckily, Katelyn is standing in my office right now and looking a little confused as my face morphs into pure anger.I don’t waste any time. I stand up from my chair and march around the side of my desk. I can’t hear anything else from Theo right now. I still can’t believe that he did this. Ugh…. My cousin is so freaking stupid.Katelyn follows me with her eyes and tentatively asks, “Is something wrong?”I nod my head. “Yes! We need to go to Theo’s apartment right now.”My mate quickly falls into step with me as I march towards the door and out of my office.I still can’t believe he did this. What is he thinking?As I storm through the halls, Katelyn softly asks, “W
Mike POVBeta Malcolm has been driving for a while, but he still won’t tell me where we are going. However, we are now in the city. I have tried several times during our trip to get him to tell me where we are headed, but he just won’t give me any information.The car finally slows down in front of a large office building, and he turns into the parking garage right next to it. The building says SM Companies. Is that where we are going?As Beta Malcolm pulls the car into the guest parking spots, I finally ask, “Are we going to SM Companies? Isn’t that one of the companies my father wants to get on his side?”He smiles and nods.When he turns the car off, he shifts towards me. “SM Companies is the one company your father will never get. It is also the one company that can help us.” He pauses for a moment. “You rem
Alpha Marcus POVI sit back in my office chair and scan the file on my computer with the list of companies I want to be a part of my alliance, or should I say, I want to control. This alliance thing is just a nice way of saying I take total control of the pack along with the pack’s companies.However, there has been this one company that is just too good to be true. It is the most powerful and the most desirable one to get. If I can get that company on my side, nothing can stop me. Well, nothing is going to stop me even without the company, but that would be the icing on the cake.With SM Companies, I could control almost every aspect of the business market. I wouldn’t really need the other companies.I have tried several times to get my foot in the door, but nothing seems to work. I don’t know what Beta Malcolm has come up with regarding them, but I hope it is something th
Bridget POVI’m so excited we could find Sammy. I’m even happier that she was more than excited to come with us. I don’t look into her mind to figure out what is going on, but the biggest sign, like always, is that she is living in the city with humans. Most werewolves won’t live in the city unless they have to. I also feel it is something personal, so I won’t look. However, I know Ford did and if it is something important, he will tell me.As Ford and I walk through the halls of the pack house on our way to Wyatt’s office, he slides his arm around my waist and tentatively asks, “Baby, do you think we should try to find Scott’s mate again? The one that if you blink, you will miss him.”I sigh. I have been trying for several days, and I keep coming up with nothing. It is almost like something is blocking me from figuring out the Supreme Eld
Unknown POVI still can’t believe that I’m doing this. To be completely honest, I can’t believe I’m listening to a voice inside my head, but I can’t change my mind now. The voice or whoever has given me instructions and told me someone would take me the rest of the way.This is the first time since I have run out of my house and away from my half-brother that I even know I could do anything like that. As I continue to run through the forest at top speed towards my destination, I try to think if I have ever shown any signs before of being able to do what I just did, but I can’t think of any.I know I’m fast when I got the female omega out of the house, but that is nothing compared to what I did afterwards to get away from my half-brother or what I’m doing right now. I’m not sure exactly how far I’ve run, but I know it would have taken me hours at a normal ru
Well, this is interesting.I glance across my desk at the new addition to the group. One look and I don’t even have to peek into his mind. I already know he is here not only to try and help with generating a partnership with his pack, but to almost report back to Alpha Marcus what Beta Malcolm and Mike are doing.Ugh… Nothing like having a spy sitting with us.I glance over towards Rose, who is sitting at the side of my desk. Through the mind link, I ask, “What do you want to do with Caleb? We already know he is here to not only make sure the deal goes through, but to also keep tabs on what Beta Malcolm and Mike do.”Rose turns her attention towards our visitors as she replies back through the mind link, “I know. I may have to work a bit harder to make sure Caleb’s memories are a little different from what he thinks. I may also have to take him out of the room to so
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
