"Is everything packed," I call out. I'm about to grab Jane's first bag out of what feels like a hundred. She has been running around all morning in a nervous frenzy. Seeing the Queen again has her on edge. The last time I tried to load the car, Jane nearly bit my head off.
A faint "yes" meets my ears from upstairs, and I chuckle. I haven't been in this good of a mood in ages. I'm not too fond of the paperwork that comes with being an Alpha, and I need a break. Visiting Riverstone is just what I need.
Klaus grabs another two bags with a massive grin on his face. His month with Clint has proven to be beneficial. His frame has filled out, and he knows how to run a pack in my stead.
"Do you think Luna packed enough for the weekend," he asks sarcastically taking in all of Jane's luggage.
I play growl and roll my eyes. He chuckles loudly. "Mark," I yell out, hoping the boy is close to the house.
Without his wolf hearing, it takes mor
THE ENTIRE STORY WILL BEFROM LANCE'S POINT OF VIEW. THIS STORY IS FOUR YEARS AFTER EMMETT AND LISA STONE BECAME THE NEW KING AND QUEEN. The only new character is Clints mate.PLEASE READ ALPHA'S TOUGH GIRL AND ALPHA'S LITTLE SISTER FIRST.This is Book #3 please read Book 1 and 2 first.I slam into my house. I'm sotired of these whiny pups. Each batch of new warriors seems to be getting lazier and lazier. The only teens who have any common sense or work ethic are the ones born from the original Riverstone Families. The new packs we added four years ago just don't seem to get it.I strip down as I walk through my house, leaving a trail of sweaty clothes, and head for my little bathroom. I need a cold shower to cool my burning rage. It's like these youngsters think that training is a joke. They believe, since they are in the Royal Pack, that no one would dare hurt them. I turn
The next week was spentclearing land and dealing with families who didn't want to move.I'm exhausted, and if Clint's appearance is a reflection of my own, then I look like shit. But 10 miles of flat land is now cleared and ready for New Builds. The new Packhouse and Family homes are about two miles to the east of Alpha's house. The old packhouse will be split between Omegas and any visitors the pack has.The old pack hospital and schools will be torn down and rebuilt on a larger scale. But the locations are central so that they will be rebuilt in the same spots. Scott has been throwing around ideas for the farther territories. Viable businesses to increase pack revenue even though we don't technically need it.Emmett and him actually had a row over it. Scott wants the Royal pack to be the wealthiest, so other packs respect us completely. Emmett said to earn wolf respect; we need to be the strongest. Clint and I jumped in, siding with both. We need to d
R RATEDThe border run revealednothing. The patrol was definitely a thin team, but they didn't leave gaps, and they gave off good confident vibes. Ace and I had pinned our mate's scent to the Alpha's house.The Alpha's house and the packhouse are similar. They have a nice modern cabin feel to them. They are even fancier than Riverstone's.Finally, I shift and pull on my clothes. I send the warriors to the packhouse. Ace hadn't even focused on the scents as we ran. He was continually howling and yelling for us to follow our mate's flowery scent.Approaching the Alpha's door was scary. I have never been scared of any female until Luna. But meeting this particular female has me petrified. Self-doubt radiates through me. Ace rolls his wolf eyes at my irrational thoughts.Ace- go. Open door. NowI roll my eyes at Ace and knock. A fiery and somewhat plump she-wolf immediately opens the door. "Please come in, Gamma Lance," she says loudly.Ho
R RATEDI fill my days withinterviews. Each family with a missing pup says the same thing. They put their son to sleep, and in the morning, he was gone. No signs of a struggle and no scent left behind. The other two packs are a little different. Clayton and Raven interviewed the pack to the East, and Tiff with Ryan interviewed the pack to the west.The two other pack's male pups were taken during the day, and all were outside. That tells me that WC pups are being taken by an insider, and the other two packs are being hit by an outsider. But all three packs share one detail, no scent. Even vampires have a smell. A sickly sweet scent that should be present if they are taking pups.I call Emmett daily with my collected information. I have been gone to look for my mindlink to be active still, so phone calls are our best bet.The new builds are in full swing, and little Mike is doing good, Emmett tells me. The Elites and I want to go home, but we can't. In t
R RATEDI groan, rolling over to turn off my phone's alarm. I grab my messy bag from the floor and pull on fresh clothes. Who cares about taking a shower. I want her smell on me for Evan. I want him to know I have had her too.He is always in thekitchen when I grab my coffee from Wilma. Excitement bubbles in my chest at the thought of rubbing our sex smell in his face.As I approach the kitchen, a smirk hits my face. Evan, Alpha Layne, and Jane's scents are strong. Perfect, the whole group is together. I take long, powerful strides into the room. I let my power ooze from within me. Being Royal puts me above all the wolves here besides the Alpha, and I, for once in my life, love my new title.Alpha Layne growls lowly and glares at his daughter, who has turned a deep red. She, of course, washed my scent off her delicate skin. Wilma hands me my coffee with an amused glint in her eye. I want to laugh at the traditional wolf who is surrounded by morons.
I woke up in extreme pain. My head felt like it was splitting open. I groan, and a body shifts next to me. I freeze, remembering my late-night activities. My eyes dart to my door. Thankfully it is now closed, but I don't believe Tiff or I closed it.Slowly Iuntangle myself from Tiff's warm naked body. I feel so awkward. I have a very naked she-wolf in my bed........in mymate's house. What do I say to her? Thanks for last night, but Ummm, please act normal around me. Act like you didn't have me in every hole of your body. Oh, and please leave as fast as possible.I scoff at myself in my head. She is obviously more versed in the "morning after" than I am. I should just wake her up. I should get used to this since my mate doesn't want me. A life of different she-wolves until I can find one I care about.My head throbs more at my relentless banter. I wish Ace were up to par so he could help with my hangover."Tiff," I say, shaking her gently.Sh
I wait at the luggage claimknowing Alpha will have one bag with both his and Luna's belongings. I grab the black bag with the enormous red R on it, just as Alpha's head comes into view.I walk towards them with a genuine smile. Man, I've missed my family. Emmett gives me a quick bro hug before Luna latches me into her death grip."Lisa let him breathe, love," Emmett says with slight jealousy. Luna releases me and gives her mate a gigantic eye roll.Emmett shrugs at her, and I grin. Alpha does much better than most wolves when it comes to possessive behavior, but even he isn't perfect."Lance, how are you doing," Luna asks, cutting right down to business."Ace and I are weak. He is worried that if she doesn't reject us before mating him..........we will die or worse go rogue," I say, meeting Emmett's eyes.Emmett's eyes harden. Alpha and him have had to deliver many mercy killings, but I know snapping my neck would devastate him. Luna gasps,
I watch as Luna takes off her shirt. As usual, she is in breathable pants, a t-shirt, and a sports bra. Many of the WC wolves gasp as they see how ripped Luna is. Which, of course, makes Luna smirk.Luna loves showing off her achievements from hoursat the gym. The lady is shredded but womanly. My mate's eyes are round with shock and fear. Ace growls, he is torn between respecting Luna and our mate being in danger.Lance- Emmett, Ace is growling. He might want to protect Jane.Emmett- we won't let Lisa go too far, Lance. Lisa is using her as an example.I clench my fists tightly as her floral scent mixes with fear. I watch as Luna sinks into one of her favorite stances. Jane tries to copy her. But Luna laughs at her, "Oh honey, look how weak you are." Jane blushes hard and barely avoids Luna's right jab."Your whole pack screams weak. But that's expected from wolves who don't produce pups with their true mates. Tell me, are you a true match result

R RATEDOne week has passed since the executions, and I have done nothing but hold meetings. The pack to the East, Snow Point, is the closest and has agreed to allow White Crest clinic privileges. In exchange, I am to train their warriors with ours. Emmett decided to not leave us high and dry, though, andcontacted multiple packs to find a doctor interested in moving up. The clinic will be built as soon as Scott sends me his proposal. The pups will all begin school in August, which is months away, but I figure they would be fine until then.I open my email, hoping that he has opened the purse strings for us. White Crest is definitely in the poor house. Alpha Layne made no investments, so there is no income. Also, the lands are overhunted, so we have no large game. The pack doesn't have money to purchase food consistently, so they hunt like Rogues. The pack's account has a measly $117,000 in it, which isn't near enough to support our 102 member pack.Jane actua
"Now, as the true mate of your old Alpha's firstborn, I am ready to take the Alpha position of White Crest. If anyone feels that they are better suited, now is the time to challenge me," I say while taking off my shirt.My chiseled chest and shouldersare impressive. I've never been a burly guy like Emmett, but I'm all muscle. I make sure to train every part of my body. I refuse to have a weak point. I flex and raise my chin. I let my new Alpha aura pulse through the air. My eyes wander through the crowd of 93 people. Each male drops his eyes respectfully, and I internally sigh.I nod my head and glance at my mate, whose cheeks are flaming. I suppress the urge to pounce on her."I pledge to serve and protect the wolves of White Crest. You will never have to fear betrayal again," I said in a firm voice. The crowd erupts into howls and cheers."It brings me great honor to also announce my mate as your Luna then, and again if you think you can..," I say as
Waking up to Jane being in my arms was a dream come true. Her even breathing andloud heartbeat were music to my ears. Spooning her had my right shoulder dead asleep, but I don't care about the ache. It is worth it.I slowly pull my fingers through her dark hair. It is so silky. She moans at my touch, and I growl. She turns slowly in my arms, and the moment her eyes meet mine, my breath catches in my throat. Her emotions pulse through me. Happiness! We both feel happiness.Lance- Morning, PrincessJane- ( smiles ) Morning, Lance. You know I'm right here, right??"Yes, but I wanted to hear you in my head," I said before giving her a light kiss. She just laughs and jumps up. Her porcelain skin looks impressive as she darts to her restroom, trying to hide herself from my hungry eyes."Can we go see Mark," She yells from the bathroom as I pull on yesterday's clothes."Sure, but I don't think there has been any change. We need to handle the trial
R RATEDSensitive ChapterAlpha pushes forwardimmediately, as does Ace. Alpha kills the vampire swiftly before darting from the room.Alpha- (To Elites, Luna, Lance, Scott) THE BLOODSUCKERS ARE TARGETING THE BOYS FOR THEIR NEXT EXPERIMENT. LOVE, CONTACT ETHAN IMMEDIATELY. HE NEEDS TO GET MOIRA AND THE KIDS TO THE SAFE ROOM. WE HAVE A TRAITOR. ELITES PACK. RYAN CONTACT THE AIRPORT. SCOTT BRING THAT FILTH.Ace and Scott grab Evan. Ace wants to kill him, but Scott is now the leader in the room, and Alpha said to bring him. I feel like a back seat driver as my wolf bloodies Evan the way I want to. We might be taking him alive, but that does not mean he goes back in one piece."Let's get him back to the cells. He can answer for his crimes," Scott orders, and Ace growls.Scott growls louder, and Ace slightly bows our head. As long as we are still Riverstone, we will behave as a Gamma, and Scott is our Delta. Ace recedes back, and I
Ace and I had imprinted her scent to memory along with the entire Alpha family. We wanted to make sure we covered all our bases while looking for her son, the son she left for dead.Luna Katiesmiles at us with sickening happiness. Luna's body is shaking violently at the disgusting woman. "What the Fuck," Alpha growls out. We can't believe the woman standing before us is the same as the grieving Mother we first met."Katie. Why? Why are the pups dead? What is going on," Layne questions with a look of complete shock.Katie's laugh is high-pitched and annoying as it echoes around us."Shut your mouth, you sniveling coward. Did you think for one minute, I wanted to be with you? You are twice my age and weak. All I had to do was bat my eyelashes at you, and I was rewarded the Luna position," Katie says with a sinister sneer."As for the pups, they weren't strong. They didn't take to the procedure," she explained with a simple shrug.Alpha growls
Thirty-twoElites plus Alpha, Luna, Scott, and I are a potent force. When Alpha, Luna, and Scott are in fight mode, the air always seems to ripple. Their human forms and their wolf forms radiate an unwavering pulse of strength. They exemplify royalty. The Goddess chose well. All of White Crest is on edge. Feeling the force of the Royal family descending down on their territory has them nervous and confused. All of them are unaware of their Alpha's full betrayal. They just know he is in the cells.I haven't slept at all. The flight from Texas to North Dakota seemed longer than ever. Scott and the other warriors are arriving any moment, and the anticipation is killing me. I just want to hold her. I want to mark her and claim her. I want to feel her emotions and to have a link to my other half. But first, we have to save her.I am currently pacing the Alpha's dining room with open aggression. Clayton and Ryan made the mistake of suggesting breakfast. They almost became
After five hours of searching, we return to White Crest with nothing. No scent. No leads. NOTHING. Alpha and I burst into the cells.After informing him of everything Jane said, plus the information I brought from Scott, the evidence against Alpha Layne was stacking. With Jane now missing, according to Royal law, we could "interrogate" suspects.I grab the disgustingly weak Alpha and drag him to a thick silver chain they have cemented in the middle of the hall. I barely had time to finish chaining him before Emmett punches him twice."Where are the missing pups," Emmett roars loudly."How would I know that," Alpha Layne sneers after spitting blood from his mouth."You might want to tell us....since 6 hours ago...... your oldest daughter was also taken," Emmett growls lowly, and I watch as Layne's face pales."What do you mean? No, you are lying," Layne yells, regaining his composure. Emmett nods at me, and I heel kick Layne in the face.Blood
PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS IT HELPS MY STORIES!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN IMPROVE OR WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT. THANK YOU Jane's car is small and cute. She looks adorable behind the wheel. Every small thing she does captivates me. She keeps shooting me timid glances, and they make me smile. I am staring at her in absolute bliss. I feel no shame in my ogling. I am taking in the tiniest little details about her face. She has a dimple on the left side of her face, and in the sunlight, the light brown in her eyes stands out even though the greenish-blue is the dominant color. Her skin is flawless. She isn't tan like most she-wolves, but her complexion is still radiant. She is my pale pristine princess. Jane pulls into a decent-looking restaurant, and I smirk. It is probably the nicest one in this tiny town, so I am glad she chose it. I didn't get to open her door like I would have liked, but I settle for holding her hand. "This is my favorite place. They have great steak," Jane says excitedly
