I saw a look quickly flitter across Lena’s face, passing far too quickly for me to decipher. She looked away from me, and shrugging it off, I made my way out of the room with Sean hot on my heels. Sean and I went upstairs to my office and sat at my desk. A few minutes later Sean let out a light laugh and said, “She is a little pistol, that one, I will give her that.”
“Yeah, she is. But I don’t know what to make of it,” I replied.
“What do you mean?” he asked, looking at me and waiting for me to explain.
“Well, my daughters swear they said nothing. I didn’t tell anyone, and I doubt you did either. So how did they know of Lena being our new Luna,” I asked, meeting his gaze.
“Wait, you think Lena told them herself?” he asked, looking at me surprised by what I had just suggested.
“She was a rogue when she came here. Maybe she had a few rogue friends she conveniently never told us about,” I replied.

Storm The next morning, I awoke to find Alpha Doyle laying on the other side of the bed. He had his head resting on the pillows he had piled up behind him, and he was just watching me. It was a little unnerving. As I lay there, everything from the previous day came back to me, and I found myself remembering how miserable I had been feeling the night before when he had walked out of the room without a word, and my heart ached once again. The feelings I had been feeling at the dinner table suddenly hit me full force once more. I don’t know how long Alpha Doyle had been laying there watching me for, but I felt unnerved and vulnerable under the intensity of his gaze. Plus, the way he had treated me yesterday only served to remind me of how my father used to treat my mother. Fate really was one cruel bitch! Climbing off the bed, I made my way into the adjoining bathroom. Shifting back into my human form, I wrapped a towel around myself before closing and locking t

Alpha Doyle The moment I had awoken and saw Lena sleeping at the end of the bed still in her wolf form, I couldn’t help but smile. Her wolf sure was a pretty one! I had no idea how long I had been watching her for when she woke up. As soon as she saw me watching her, she tensed up and watched me for a moment before she made her way into the bathroom, which adjoined the bedroom. She was in there for a while. She had a shower, and then she came out dressed for the day, and without a word she left the bedroom. Laying there I thought about her actions. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but she just didn’t seem to be herself at the moment. By the time I had gotten downstairs to have breakfast, the girls were already gone. I had no idea where they had gone, and with everything that had happened the day and night before, I was honestly worried about them. When I expressed my concerns to Sean, he wasn’t worried. He was convinced that the girls were going to be fine. We

Storm Storm We all took one look at the look on Alpha Doyle’s face, and seeing the anger, which was evident there, the four of us wasted no time running out of the room and heading for the stairs. I ran upstairs to the spare bedroom and shifted back into my human form. Making my way into the bathroom I took a shower and got cleaned up. Once I was done, I made my way out of the bathroom and saw that the mud which I had left on the door and floor when I had come upstairs earlier had already been cleaned up. I felt bad that I had left a mess that someone else had had to clean up. But in all honesty, the girls and I had meant no harm. We had only been having fun. But still, the mess we had made had been disgraceful. I was sitting on my bed after my shower, dressed in a pair of yoga pants and an oversized hoodie. I was stressed out, sitting there worrying about what was going to happen next. Was Alpha Doyle still angry over the mess we had made of his home? Were t

Storm I didn’t know what to think about this whole situation. Thinking about what could happen when I got back downstairs had my stomach churning. My throat and chest felt tight. And I was gripping the pillow to my chest so that the girls couldn’t see that my hands were shaking. The girls seemed sure that Alpha Doyle was going to be fine. But how could they be so sure? Alphas were unpredictable by nature. I could feel my anxiety increasing the more I thought about the whole situation. We stayed in my room for a while chilling out. I was okay with the girls being in my room with me, well… that was until Leah announced that we should all go downstairs. I wasn’t to keen on that idea. But I reluctantly followed them downstairs, not wanting to have to answer any awkward questions. When we stepped out of my bedroom, I saw the mess in the hallway from earlier had also been tidied up, and once again I felt bad for the cleaning staff. I was even more surprised to see th

Storm I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself down, but my lungs were so tight that I couldn’t get a lungful of air. My heart was beating so fast that I felt like I had tachycardia. Tachycardia is a condition I had recently been learning about in class. It is a medical condition where the heart beats too fast, and in doing so may not pump enough blood to the rest of the body. This can starve the organs and tissues of oxygen and can cause symptoms such as: shortness of breath, light headedness, rapid pulse rate, heart palpitations, chest pain, and even fainting. As I stood there, I decided that being Alpha Doyle’s mate was bad for my health. Turning in the doorway, I bolted out the door and raced down the hallway. I needed to get out of this house. I needed to get out of this territory. “Lena!” I heard Alpha Doyle shout as he followed me down the hallway. I ran down the stairs and I could see the front door, I reached my hand out towards the door,

Alpha Doyle Sean and I had been sitting with the cleaning staff in the kitchen, and I had been talking to them for a while now, trying to appease them. They had been upset about the mess that had been created earlier by the four muddy wolves that had practically destroyed the house. I had talked with them extensively before caving and giving in to their terroristic demands, much to Sean’s amusement. The cleaning staff had claimed compensation for pain and suffering, well that is how they had put it. Personally, I had thought it was absurd. Pain and suffering? Really? Sean had had a tough time hiding his laughter as he had listened to the cleaning staff pleading their case. By the time we were done, I had decided that Lena and my girls had a lot to answer for. They had cost me dearly. The cleaning staff had seen the perfect opportunity to hold me to ransom and they had taken it. And I had to admit, now that it was all said and done, it amused me how they had not

Alpha Doyle Without another word, I made my way up the stairs and into my office, locking the door behind me as soon as I entered, ensuring that Lena didn’t do another runner. Walking over to the lounge chair, I dropped Lena onto it, then stood and waited until I had myself under control. As I stood before her, I watched as Lena shrank back into the lounge chair, pushing herself as far back as she could go. A moment later she brought her knees up and rested her folded arms on them. I felt my chest tighten, as I saw that she was visibly shaking and on the verge of tears. As I watched her, I found myself wondering what had happened to her to make her so afraid. She had been afraid of me from day one. The moment she had realised we were mates; she had been terrified enough to run for her life. The knowledge that she was afraid of me, and that she didn’t trust me, didn’t sit well with me. By now the mate bond should have grown enough for her to trust me. I knew it was hypocritic

Alpha Doyle I closed the door and went back to where Lena was sitting. She was still sitting there and not saying a word. “Lena, you need to talk to me love. I need to know what is going on. I need you to trust me and tell me what happened. Who did this to you?” I asked. When she didn’t say anything, I could feel myself getting frustrated. Alphas weren’t used to being ignored. Even though she was our fated mate, my wolf was getting annoyed with her silence. We were used to getting an answer whenever we asked questions. My wolf was fighting to take control so that he could assert his dominance, and I was having a hard time holding him wolf back. As if she could pick up on my wolf fighting to make an appearance, Lena looked up, her eyes meeting mine. I watched as all of the colour drained out of her face, and she shrank back away from me. I fought my wolf, pushing him to the back recesses of my mind, and I walked towards Lena, wanting to reassure her that she had nothi

Storm The next morning, Doyle was so excited about the pregnancy that he couldn’t contain his excitement. From the moment we had woken up, he had been grinning like the cat that had gotten the cream, the milk, and the canary. When we had gotten Dalton and gone downstairs, he had announced it to everyone at the breakfast table. There had been cheers and congratulations and a few dirty jokes, but everyone was just as excited as we were about our new little surprise. After breakfast, Doyle had announced a pack meeting just as he had promised he would, and we had left to go to the place where my induction ceremony had taken place. When we arrived, I had looked at all the pack members who had been so warm and welcoming towards me and who could not contain their joy for me and Doyle when Dalton had been born; they had welcomed me into the pack as if I was part of their family. Now I was a little worried that they were all going to hate me

Storm We had flown back to Ireland, and I was glad to be back home. Doyle and I had hugged our baby boy close as soon as we had gotten home, and we had spent the evening watching movies with Leah, Lilly, and Julie. Mike had joined us as well. It had been a good family night. Before we had left Texas, Winter had pulled me aside and asked me so many questions about my life in Ireland. I know she wanted to make sure that I was happy, and that I was safe. I understood the protective side of her. She had stepped into the role of my mother right after our mother had been killed. I had explained everything to her. I had told her about Dalton, and I had explained to her that as a mother, I had held off mentioning him before, because I was protecting him. My baby had been the most important thing in my life, and I couldn’t risk Mason or our father finding out about his existence. As a new mother, Winter understood where I was coming from in that matter. We had talked about ou

Storm "I am only going to say this once, so all of you fuckers had better listen. I mean it, every single one of you. Even if Winter, Leon, Finn, and I have to tag-team it and fight our way through every member of this pack and have bodies piling up left, right and centre. I can firmly assure you, one way or another Finn and Leon will be the Alpha’s of this pack by sundown. Or at least what would be left of this pack anyway, because if anyone has earned the right to go on a killing spree through this fucked up pack… it is me! And rest assured if I start fighting any of you, those two will be right in the thick of it, so good luck with that,” I said, pointing to Doyle and Sean. “Now Josh, pull your head out of your ass and think before you speak. Because, since I have been back here, all you mutts have been acting as if this is all my fault. Like things suddenly went bad after I left! Lightbulb moment for all of you. Things were always bad in this pack and had been si

Storm I looked back towards the pack and said, “Members of the Hunter's Moon Pack as the two rightful heirs to this pack my sister Winter and I are going to install leadership for this pack. So, may I present to you, our choices for dual leadership, Leon, and Finn Weber. They are Alpha Felix’s brothers, so they are from an Alpha family, and they have our full support in this matter. So, if all of you screw up, we will all kick you asses.” Josh stepped forward, “Like hell, no way! You pair of traitorous bastards ran away like little cowards in the dead of the night. Where were the two of you when the pack was under attack? Hiding just like cowards, that’s where! Neither one of you deserves to be Alpha of this pack!” Josh spat; anger clearly displayed on his face. “And let me guess Josh. I suppose you think you deserve to be the Alpha of this pack!” I said looking at Josh and laughing in disgust. “I would be a better Alpha then either of you!” he

Storm As soon as we landed in Texas, Doyle hired an SUV to take us to the Hunter’s Moon pack’s territory. Upon our arrival there, it surprised me to see just how much damage had been done during the attack. There were burned out structures everywhere, and I could tell by the small number of people that were out and about tidying up, that the pack had suffered quite a significant loss in pack numbers. As soon as people saw me, I began receiving looks of hostility and blame. I didn’t let this phase me though. I didn’t like these people any more than they liked me. And as far as I was concerned, I didn’t care what they thought of me. I was standing beside Doyle and Sean when I sent a text to Winter. Me: Back in hell, where are you? Winter: Back on Texas soil, be with you soon xx Looking at one of the men who was standing nearby, I said, “You need to call a pack meeting now. Every pack member must be in attendance.

Storm During the flight I went and lay down in the master bedroom. I had so much on my mind, and I was totally wiped out. Plus, I was concerned about my baby. Separation anxiety had kicked in big time and had left me crying just like a baby. A while later, after my cry baby episode, I was laying in the dark trying to clear my head when Doyle came in. When he looked at me, he could see I had been crying. He came over to the bed and lay down beside me, pulling me into his arms. I lay there in his arms, with my head on his chest. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Separation anxiety,” I whispered. “You’re missing Dalton?” he asked. I nodded in answer to his question. “I miss him already,” I whispered. “That is normal love. You will be worrying until you have him in your arms again and can see with your own eyes that he is safe,” he replied. I lifted my head, bracing all my weight on my right arm. I looked down at him for a moment before p

Storm Three weeks later I was in the nursery restocking baby supplies with Leah when Lilly came upstairs to tell me that Doyle wanted to see me in his office. “Why didn’t he just use mind link and tell me?” I asked. “I don’t know, he just told me that if I saw you, I was to tell you he wanted to see you in his office,” Lilly replied. “Better go down there, you don’t want to keep him waiting,” Leah said. I walked out of the nursery and made my way to Doyle’s office. When I got there, I saw that Sean was sitting at Doyle’s desk, in the chair opposite Doyle. I walked in and closed the door behind me. “We have got some news for you,” Doyle said as I walked over to his desk. “Okay…” I replied, taking a seat beside Sean. “We have received word that the Hunter’s Moon pack was attacked and that the pack has lost many of their pack members. I thought you should know,” Doyle said, watching me closely so he could get

Storm “Lena, what the fuck?” snapped James glaring at me. “Watch your mouth!” Sean snapped back. “You don’t ever speak to your Luna like that, or you will have me to deal with! Do you understand me?” Doyle asked glaring at James. “Yes Alpha, my apologies,” James said lowering his eyes. “Don’t apologise to me boy, apologies are owed to your Luna,” Doyle growled. “Apologies Luna,” James said looking at me. I met his gaze and just gave him a deep guttural growl. So, he could lower his eyes in respect to Doyle, but not to me. Suddenly I was annoyed, and my wolf was feeling bitchy and decided she needed to show it. She decided it was time to call James out on his shit and I agreed with her. It was past time to sort this crap out. Opening my mind link to the pack members within the room, I asked, “James, where were you and Daniel the day that the girls and I went for a run and got attacked by the rogues at the stream? You and

Storm After my father’s phone call, we finished up our pack business in Doyle’s office before making our way downstairs to check on Liam and the girls and the baby. When I got downstairs, I saw James and Daniel and James’ mate Sophie in the lounge room with Liam and the others. Well, well, well looks like today is my lucky day. It had been ages since I had seen Daniel and James, so it surprised me to see them and Sophie sitting there with Liam and the girls like it was an everyday occurrence. Sophie was getting too close to Leah and Dalton for my liking. After what that bitch had tried to do to Lilly, my wolf and I wanted her dead. I looked at Lilly who was sitting in the lounge's corner suite, curled up in a ball and looking like she was about to burst into tears. I could feel my wolf clawing within me to get out and wanting to kill Sophie to protect Dalton and Lilly. Before I could lock her down, my wolf took total control, and she forcibly shifted me int
