Alpha Marcus POV
“Where is my son?! He never goes out anywhere without telling me first!”
What is happening lately? I swear something is not working in my favor lately. Not only have I lost a couple alliances with packs that I thought I had gotten at the werewolf gathering, but something has happened between the time of the gathering to now. Even when I threaten them more, they aren’t budging.
Now, my son hasn’t been home for several days. What is going on?
With a growing anger, I glare at Caleb. However, for some reason, he doesn’t seem to be affected like usual. No. If anything, he almost seems happy, but why?
Caleb tries to keep the corner of his lip to curve upwards as he replies, “I’m not sure. He just seemed to disappear, but he never said anything to me.”
BAM!
I slam my hand on the top of my desk. H
Bridget POVI slowly drag my feet as I make my way to the dining hall. Usually, mealtime is one of my favorite times, but not anymore. Nothing can seem to make me happy. Well, one thing still does, but I can’t stay in bed all the time and make love to my mate.I sigh as I turn and walk into the dining hall.The chatter and noise fill my ears, but I don’t hear it. My mind is still on my inability to find the last two pieces that we need for this war. I can’t keep failing. Everyone else has done their jobs, but I can’t seem to do this one minor task.Donna has not only been helping train the pack on martial arts, but she is working with Wyatt’s father, Seth, and my mother to get things setup with King Enterprises. The three of them have been able to accomplish a lot in a very short time frame. They were even celebrating the first downfall of one compan
I sit on the edge of the bed next to Katelyn. She has been so tired lately. If things don’t change soon, I’m going to have the pack doctor look at her. She keeps telling me it is because she used too much energy trying to heal Tyler, but I was right there, too. I’m not nearly as tired as she is. I look down at my mate sleeping peacefully. She is so beautiful. A smile slowly spreads across my face as I gently brush her bangs out of her eyes and across her forehead. It is time to get up, but I can’t bring myself to wake her. As I lean forward and kiss her forehead, I softly whisper, “Sleep, my baby. I hope you feel better soon.” I sit upright and continue to stare at Katelyn’s sleeping face. After a few moments, I get up and walk out of the bedroom. As I walk through the living room, I call out, “Fiona. Tammy. Keep an eye on Katelyn for me. Okay.” Fiona and
Mike POVI can’t stop pacing back and forth in my hotel room. I have been here for several days, but I still don’t feel at ease. My father is out there somewhere. All it takes in one wrong move and bam. I’ll be back in my pack with my father breathing down my throat again.I’m not going back while he is there.I know Former Alpha Seth told me I’m safe here, but I just don’t feel like it.As I turn to go back the other direction, my eyes linger on the curtains. I really want to say forget it and just open the curtains, but I know my father’s men and allies could see me then. So, I’m going to just leave the curtains shut and leave myself practically caged in my hotel room.I hope Former Alpha Seth and High Elder Rose can think of something that would help break my bond with Bambi. While still bonded, she can feel what I’m
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
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.
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
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 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
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
