SlaterI’d been laying on the bed in my cell when I felt it, my brother’s death.I snarled, rushing to the cell bars. “What the fuck just happened?”I’d heard a commotion above us and the two guards who were watching me raced upstairs. Down here, we only have small windows at the ceiling to let in just enough light to make you remember how much you hate the dank, dark area of the cells. It's barely enough space to hear what's going on above you.No one answered my question because no one was here. Then, I’d felt two more tethers snap, friends of mine. Their deaths had come at the exact same time. Are we under attack? No one sounded the alarm and Arlo said that Jasper was waiting to attack until he gave him some information on Kennedy.But now, my brother is dead, and I don’t have a fucking clue what’s going on.I stand there, waiting for someone to come tell me what happened to Arlo, seething in my fury. If Jasper betrayed us, I’ll kill him.When the door finally opens, I’m shocked to

KennedyI’ve just sat down and laid my head on the side of Christy’s bed when there is a commotion out in the waiting room. I step out of the room quickly to see Beta Kier, Terrance, and Randall walk in with David and Slater.“What are they doing here?” I snarl. As exhausted as I am, I do not want anyone who was associated with Arlo in this hospital.“Alpha wanted them to clean up the bathroom, Luna,” Kier says.“Take them around back. I don’t want them in my hospital.”Slater scoffs and begins to turn, however, I step forward.“Problem, Slater?” I snarl, letting Echo push forward. I push the full force of my Alpha aura on him and watch him fall to his knees as his neck lifts in submission. Shock registers on his face as I prowl toward him.“I’m guessing you knew what that sick brother of yours intended to do to that poor girl, didn’t you, Slater?”“I was in the cells, Luna. I didn’t have any part in it,” he chokes out, his throat fully exposed to me.“But you did know he wanted her, d

KennedyWhen I walk back into the room, I begin asking Lillian questions about how long she’s been in labor, if she’s had any pre-natal care, and if she’s lost any pups during pregnancy or delivery before.“This is our first pup, Luna. If you can’t save them both, please save my mate. I’ll give her another pup, but I don’t want to lose her," Terrance says.“My goal is to save them both,” I say, as I put the IV in Lillian's arm and get the drip started before turning to set up the ultrasound machine.“Alright, let’s see what we’ve got. Lillian, I know you’re in a lot of pain, but I need to try and see what’s going on.” Terrance holds her hand while she grits her teeth through the pain.As soon as I begin running the wand over her stomach, I know what the problem is.“Your baby is breech. You’ll never be able to deliver him in this position,” I say, running the wand around her stomach to make sure that he hasn’t ruptured the uterus. Everything looks to be intact, he’s just not in the rig

QuirinI didn’t want to leave the hospital and Kennedy this morning, but when I heard that Slater was missing, I woke Kier and we went hunting. I’m not sure how the fuck he got out but when I return to the hospital later and realize that Terrance is there with his wife who is struggling to deliver their baby, I wonder if he was distracted and didn’t lock the door properly at the end of his shift.David was no help, swearing that he didn’t see anything because he was asleep. I used my Alpha command to make sure that he was telling the truth and he was.Slater attacked the guards on duty, knocking them out before racing off. Kier and I tracked Slater to our border, then continued on, following his trail to see if he stopped anywhere. We tracked him for about an hour before deciding to return to the pack. I don’t like it that Slater is gone, but he must have known that I was going to kill him. He and Arlo were very close. There’s no way he wouldn’t have known or tried to help cover up wha

KennedyI wake up alone, in my bedroom. I listen, but don’t hear Quirin anywhere in our room. I notice that it’s dark outside and I must have slept through the afternoon into the evening. When I sit up, I see that I’m in Quirin’s t-shirt. As frustrated as I am with him, I can’t help but smile. He’s taking care of me, even though I’m angry and even though I’ve pushed him away. It’s the side of Quirin that no one else sees, the side that only I ever get to see. The soft side of Quirin.Damn, I can already feel my heart softening toward him.I look down and rub my stomach. We need to have a conversation very soon about this pup I’m carrying. I have no idea if that will make things worse between us, but Quirin has a right to know.I sigh, getting out of bed. I feel weak and nauseous, but I know I need to eat something. It’s been almost two days since I’ve eaten and now I know I’m eating for two. I brush my hair, putting it in a messy bun, brush my teeth, wash my face and get dressed. I don

ChristyI smell him before I open my eyes. My mate. The man who rejected me. Why is he here? Why now when I’m at my weakest?“Please open your eyes, Christy. Please. Deborah said that you aren’t under any anesthesia to keep you unconscious. You’ve been out for two days. Please open your eyes.”I open my eyes and see his red-rimmed eyes watching me closely. Relief washes over his face.“Oh, thank the goddess!” he says, pulling my hand to his lips and kissing it. “Thank the goddess. I was so worried about you.”“Why are you here?” I ask. My throat is still sore, and my voice is rough, reminding me of why I’M here. I feel the tears well in my eyes and I close them tightly. I don’t want Leo to see me cry again. He saw enough of my tears on the day he rejected me.I feel his finger gently rub against my cheek, wiping the wayward tear away.“I was worried about you, and I came to apologize.”“Apologize for what?” I ask, not looking at him.“For rejecting you. I was wrong. I see that now. And

Quirin'It starts at the top.’ That’s what Kennedy had said to the pack and she’d looked at me, basically letting me know that it’s not just our warriors that need to change, that I need to change as well.I’ve never really thought of the pack as a family. I mean, I spent enough years in Alpha Harold’s pack that I probably should have, I saw the love that the pack members had for Harold and for Henry, but since I didn’t have a pack at the time, I didn’t take much notice. I didn’t realize the value and importance of a pack being a family. Hell, I don’t even recognize the value of family at all, or at least I didn’t before Kennedy. Even my own mother chose to let herself wither away and die rather than be a mother to me, to be a family to me.Of course, Kennedy’s more than just family to me. She’s everything to me. If she wants this pack to become a family, then we will. I don’t know how to do that, but I’m sure that she does, and I’ll follow her lead.When Lane comes to ask about someon

JasperGetting this girl down the cliff was a lot harder than getting up there. I probably should have accounted for that a bit more, but I didn’t. Once Slater told me how to sneak onto the pack lands, I came right away, bringing some of my strongest warriors and I’d hit the jackpot. I hadn’t expected her to come to me. Slater said the patrols didn’t come out this way, so I had intended to climb into the pack lands and sneak to the hospital where she apparently spends most of her time. However, when opportunity knocks, I always open the door.After repelling down the cliff face, I stop to look at the girl. She was dead weight and repelling with over a hundred pounds slung over your shoulder isn’t easy. I’d slammed into the cliff several times when my body had begun to spin. When I look her over, I can see that she’s got some bumps and scratches on her head, back, and arms. She’s bleeding a lot from the head wounds, but she’s still breathing, and her heart is still beating, so she’ll li

The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 79: Love
KennedyI wake up warm and comfortable, with Quirin’s sandalwood scent surrounding me. I feel a slight fluttering in my mind and I know that Echo is fighting to come back to me.‘Heal yourself, Echo. I’ll be here when you get back. I love you,’ I say in our mind. I know my wolf, she won’t stop fighting. But hopefully she can hear me and knowing that I can feel her trying will help her to feel better. I can still feel the pack holding on to her, helping her to find her way back.The next thing I feel is Quirin’s mind. I smile, loving that it’s still open to me. Right now, it’s quiet with his sleep, although, images of Slater, the pack lands, and me are flashing on repeat.‘Those are the things he’s most worried about,’ Raif says, purring in my mind but loud enough that I can feel the vibration against my body.‘Don’t wake Quirin, Raif. He needs his sleep,’ I scold him.‘What I need is for my mate to be healthy. How are you feeling, Little Pup? Sorry, I’m still half asleep. How are you
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 78: Family
QuirinI spent some time celebrating Kier’s and Arianna’s mate bond with the pack, a celebration that continued even after they went upstairs. The pack is excited and happy. It’s such a different feeling, something I’m so unused to that I feel a bit lost without Kennedy here to help me navigate through it.“I need to head home tomorrow, Alpha Quirin. Now that I know my sister is safe, I need to return to my pack. But I’m only a phone call away if you ever need me or the pack. I’d also like you to know that you have an open invitation to my pack. Not only are you my sister’s mate, but now we’re allies. You’re welcome any time,” Connor says.“Thank you. When things settle, maybe I can bring Kennedy for a visit. A real one this time. I think she’d like that,” I say.“Are you going to come visit me too, Q? Maybe for more than a day?” Henry asks.“Yeah, yeah, we’ll come see you, too. I need to deal with Slater and Kennedy needs to heal. And I also need to figure out how to clean my pack lan
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 77: The Way it Should Be
AriannaI knew Kier would take his time. I knew he’d told me that being intimate was supposed to feel good, but I’d never guessed that it would feel THAT good. I was shocked when the heat that was building in my core like a hot furnace, exploded in my body. I had grabbed on to Kier’s body, holding him as my own body felt like it was shattering into millions of pieces.Then he’d kissed me and slowly helped my body piece itself together again. After that, what was left?Apparently, there’s more. A lot more.I know he’s watching me to make sure I’m okay with everything he’s doing, but I also get the impression that he likes my body, likes watching how I’m reacting to his touch.“Did you like that?”“That was ...” What do I say? There are no words for what that was. No words that I know anyway.He smiles, as if he understands the feelings that I’m incapable of putting into words.“Can I make you come again?” Is he asking my permission or is asking me if my body will respond. The answer to
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 76: Acceptance
KierWhen Arianna said she had an announcement, my heart stopped. My mate isn’t one to stand in front of people and speak, much less the entire pack. So I knew it was important.When she turned to look at me, I could barely breathe. I was terrified that I’d miss something or misunderstand something that she was saying. Then, she said she accepted me. She said the words that I’ve been waiting to hear for over a year. She wants me. I can’t even believe she thought she had to ask if I still wanted her.I probably shouldn’t have kissed her like that in front of everyone, but thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice that the entire pack began cheering for us.When I finally dragged myself away from the kiss, I brushed the tears off of Arianna’s cheeks. “I have wanted you from the moment I first smelled your lavender and chamomile scent. From the moment that I first laid eyes on you, there has never been anyone else for me.”I kissed her again, more quickly this time as I could feel the pack pu
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 75: Greeting the Pack
KennedyI don’t like feeling weak, I hate that Echo is silent, but I’m loving every minute of being inside Quirin’s mind. His mind is just like he is, rough and rugged on the outside, but soft and gentle underneath, or at least it is towards me. And I like that a lot too. Now that I’m in his head, I can feel the difference in how he feels about me and how he feels about others, even our pack members. He loves them, in his Quirin way, but his love for me is all-encompassing.‘I like having you in my mind. I didn’t think I would, but it’s like walking through a meadow on a sunny day. It feels like the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and butterflies are fluttering around,’ he says in the mind link.I smile up at my mate. My mate who apparently makes Alpha quake in their shoes, but tells me my mind feels like something out of a Disney movie.‘If you tell anyone, I’ll deny it,’ he grumbles.‘Your secret is safe with me, my love,’ I say, watching his sexy Quirin smile spread across h
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 74: Thankful
Quirin“She’s still asleep?” Luna Yara asks, coming into the room.“Yeah. I think she’s starting to wake up. Her mind is feeling a bit more active,” I say, looking down at my mate who is still sleeping in my lap. I didn’t want to move her and I knew that she’d sleep better in my arms, and well, I just needed to hold her.“I think she might be a bit too comfortable. She needs to wake up to eat,” Yara says, smiling as she comes over to check her daughter.I look up at the woman who changed the path of my life so many years ago. “Thank you for saving her life.”She smiles at me. “You never have to thank me for saving a life. It’s what I do, and it’s what Kennedy does. We’re both very good at it, but I think that when she’s finished with medical school, she’ll be better at it than I am.”I ignore the part about not needing to thank her. Luna Yara has always been very humble about the significance of what she does. She saves lives and by saving one medically, she saves so many others by kee
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 73: Sisterhood
AriannaWe all felt Luna’s consciousness when she woke up. What we didn’t feel was her wolf’s.“Do you think she’ll get her wolf back, Kier?” I had gone to seek him out, needing reassurance. I know he’s working hard, keeping the pack safe while Alpha Quirin is with Luna Kennedy in the hospital. So, I brought him some food. It was a good excuse to go see him.As busy as he is and as exhausted as he looks, he stops what he’s doing to come pull me into a hug.“I trust Luna Yara and she says Luna Kennedy's wolf will come back, so we’re all going to believe that,” he says, wrapping his arms around me. I feel him sigh as he breathes in my scent. I wrap my arms around him and hold him, letting him take strength from the mate bond.“What do you have planned for today?” he asks.“I thought I’d go see Christy. I don’t know if I can help her, but I have some understanding of what she went through,” I tell him.I’m surprised when he smiles at me, gently running his hand over my hair.“What is that
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 72: Open Mind
KennedyAs I wake, I realize several things at once. First, it’s like there’s a tight hold on my mind, like the entire pack is holding on to me. Second, Echo is silent. And third, for the first time that I can remember, Quirin’s mind is open to me.‘You’re awake,’ his voice floats into my mind.‘What’s going on?’ I ask, shifting and realizing that I feel stiff.‘What do you remember?’ he asks softly.I try to focus my mind, try to remember what happened. I was captured. I was injured. I ran ... “Echo!” I say out loud, terrified that I’ve lost my wolf.“Shhh. I’m right here,” Quirin says from beside me. “Raif, your family, and the pack all have a tight hold on Echo. No one is letting her go. We’re all giving her the strength she needs to heal. Your mom says she exhausted herself and that you were both very weak ...”He stops and I turn to look at him. He looks awful. His eyes are red-rimmed and haunted looking, his face has at least a day’s worth of growth on it, and his clothes are wri
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 71: Listening
Quirin“What do you want to know, Quirin?” Alpha Warren asks me.“All of it, I guess. You said my father was after Luna Yara?” I ask.“Not at first,” he says and sighs. “You know, the day I killed him, I told your father that if he had been a different man, he and I could have been friends. Maybe that’s why I’ve tried so hard to have a relationship with you. You’re enough like your father that you and I have a lot in common but you’re different enough that we’ve never been at odds like your father and I were. For all of the money that your father had, and I know it was a lot even back then, he always wanted more. What he had was never enough for him. It was pure greed, nothing more. He didn’t need my lands, but he wanted them. He didn’t need Yara, he had your mother. But he wanted her because he recognized that her strength would make him stronger.”I nod. “I remember talking to him about that. He said you were getting stronger, that you were threatening our livelihood. But what he rea
