IZZY POV

For the third time today, I let my tears fall.  I had faith in my mates, but if people were working against them and they were trusting the wrong people, they didn’t stand a chance.  I prayed that Cornelius was just trying to scare me, but I knew, deep down, that he was telling the truth.

ETHAN POV

The morning dawned and we could tell that the weather was beginning to lift.  For one, it was colder.  The thicker the cloud cover, the warmer it was.  It started below zero and it was falling fast.  The thermometer showed a brisk negative forty below zero Fahrenheit on the thermometer this morning.

We crunched across the street, hopefully for the last time, to meet with Travis and the crew.  I was the last to arrive.  I looked around at everyone lounging and ran through them in my mind. 

Travis was an instructor at the Alpha School.  They flew him in to teach survival for a f

    REESE POVWe looked up at the fireball that used to be the helicopter that we were supposed to be in. Ethan, next to me, swore.“I didn’t want to believe it,” Caleb said.“Believe it,” Alessia said bitterly. “Kat was right.”“So were you,” Caleb said, his voice admiring. “I still can’t figure out how you knew.”Alessia shrugged. “Funny feeling. I’ve been a warrior longer than you’ve been alive. We learn to trust our instincts. I tried to tell you guys when I said that I didn’t want Troi to come with us. It was lucky Kat heard that. She’s on our side because of Troi. And Griz is in love with Kat, so he’d do anything for her. The other three are worthless.”Caleb gave a snort. “How pissed do you think they’re going to be when they finally get

    IZZY POVI shouted out a warning. Cornelius stood in front of the charging Griz and clapped his hands. Some sort of invisible force came from it, knocking into Griz like an invisible battering ram. He faltered, falling to his side but I managed to cling to his back as he struggled to his feet.Out of nowhere there was a loud yowl and Tyra came bounding out of the stairwell. She landed right on top of Cornelius, knocking him to his back and shredding his body with her claws. She turned and belched fire down the hall behind us, igniting Earl and one of the other guards. Their blood curdling screams were terrifying until they disappeared into a pile of ash.Griz was running again and I hung on. I thought Griz was going to take a ninety degree turn down the stairwell, but I was wrong. He kept running to the end of the hall, not slowing. I flattened myself against his back and braced myself. He crashed throu

    CALEB POVI thought we had a great plan until I hit the icy cold water of the river. That’s when I started to think we might have made a mistake.After Kat confirmed what Alessia had suspected, we came up with a new plan. We met at the airfield where there were three helicopters waiting for us. Travis was back at his office, working the communications, oblivious to the new plan. Prior to arriving at the airfield, Griz had a discussion with Dr. Strong who agreed to hole up in his house for a few hours. The pilot of the first helicopter was persuaded to hand it over to Kat and Griz with only a little bit of effort. Alessia tied him up and shoved him in a locker where he wouldn’t be found for a day or two. The boys and I took care of the other wolf brothers, injecting them with wolfsbane and loading them into a shipping container bound for Russia. They would be found and be fine. . . eventually. Then

    ETHAN POVI took the tin snips with thanks and ran back to the captain’s cabin. We were desperate to get the collar off from Izzy as soon as possible so that her wolf would have a better chance of healing her. I burst through the door. I wasn’t expecting to see what I saw.Izzy was sitting up in bed. The collar was off, and her arms were around Troi. She was still not wearing clothes, but Troi had twined herself around Izzy so it looked like she was wearing a fur top. Troi’s eyes were glowing a brilliant blue, so bright it looked like beams were coming from them. Her black fur had turned a silver color, shimmering, the same color as Izzy’s wolf. She was purring, but the purr wasn’t quiet. It was so loud I could feel the vibrations from where I stood in the doorway.Izzy turned her beautiful eyes on me. “Ethan!” she said, softly but with emotion. I dr

    IZZY POVThe jelly was cold on my abdomen, and it tickled when the doctor moved the wand across my belly. We were at the hospital for our first ultrasound.“Yes, definitely three,” the doctor said, pointing to three little blobs on the screen. If I squinted, I could make out features.“How long until they’re born?” Ethan asked. His excitement was contagious, and we were all grinning like idiots.“Four and a half months,” the doctor said, handing me a wad of Kleenex to wipe off my belly.“March,” breathed Caleb. The doctor nodded, giving me a hand and helping me sit up.“Triplets may be early. No shifting from here on out to be safe. Healthy foods, but also give in to a few cravings. Your body knows what it wants.”I glared at the triplets. “You hear that? Cravings are okay. I don’t want

    IZZY POVI hurried through the town, not looking at anyone. Troi was right beside me, making her angry cat glare at anyone who crossed paths with me. I kept going. I didn’t sense that my mates were behind me and I was glad. I just wanted to be alone.I was so stupid in thinking that things could change. I’ve ignored the signs for so long, but the fact is that the responsibility of the pack’s behavior rests on my mates’ shoulders. Their ignorance was something taught long ago, I’m sure, but they have the power to change it.Even my mom experienced the pack’s bigotry. There is such a stigma attached to rejected wolves that she couldn’t shake it. She had to literally join the human world to get away from it. It was so wrong, and I didn’t understand why no one realized it.I walked into the woods, kicking up the loose leaves. Troi pranced happily beside

    IZZY POVThe evening was perfect. Destiny took hold of me and led me over to a crowd. She began pushing through it. “Excuse me, excuse me! Coming through with the Luna!”Laughing, I protested her methods until I realized that the center of this group was Molly. She turned to see me and let out a little laugh, running over and embracing me. “This is the first time in a long time I’ve felt free,” she said. “I am so happy! Everyone is so nice!”Drogo pushed through the crowd, and then stood in front of me, stoic. He awkwardly put out his hand to shake mine, but I laughingly shoved it away and gave him a hug. “Me an Molly are gonna be married,” he whispered to me in his funny lilt. “We’ve wanted to for centuries, but the old man forbade it.”I giggled. “Congratulations are in order I see.

    CALEB POVI closed my laptop with a snap. I was working on the budget for the following year’s training. I wanted to add an addition to the stadium to have a larger free weights room and I was trying to figure out how to make the numbers work.“Got it done?” Ethan asked. He was laying on the couch with his arm over his eyes doing absolutely nothing, as per usual.“No,” I grunted. “I’m hungry. I’m going to see what Molly and Joanna have come up with.” It had been two weeks since the welcome party and Christmas was two weeks away from today. The two women were busy teaching each other their holiday traditional treats. We all benefitted and I was pretty sure I was already ten pounds heavier than I was at the beginning of the month.I walked into the foyer to see Izzy standing with her back to me. She was busy directing some of our workers on where to h

    EPILOGUE TALIA POV “Coming!” I answered my mom, looking in the mirror and tucking my hair behind my ear. Today was my eighteenth birthday and I was officially going to introduce my wolf to the Pack. I had technically been able to shift since I was a baby, but we had managed to keep that a secret from almost everyone, though it had been a close call a few times. My brothers were coming back from Mongolia with their mate, Zaria, and their friend, Leo, to help celebrate my birthday. They were on some sort of a mission for the Council, but they got permission to come home for this event. They were twelve years older than me and I liked to tease them about being old. They didn’t think I was as funny as I knew I was. They were cool, though, and all my friends loved my brothers. Their mate was also pretty awesome. She was the daughter of our Beta and one heck of a warrior. She went to the same camp my grandmama was accepted to. Only the best warriors are allowed to go. I ran

    IZZY POV I rubbed my swollen belly and sat down behind my desk with a sigh. Baby girl was seriously a week overdue, and I was over being pregnant. I wanted to meet my Talia and that moment couldn’t come soon enough. A lot had happened in the three months since the Summer Solstice Celebration. Elder Voltaire had officially asked permission to join our pack and he put in his retirement notice to the Vampire Council. Apparently, serving as head Council Member for three hundred years was enough for him. We gave the Blood Moon Pack to Griz and Destiny. We talked a long time about it and had first asked Leo if he was interested in taking over for his father. He had vehemently turned down our offer, insisting that he never wanted to see the Blood Moon Pack again. When we had gone to visit, I could see why. The pack needed a lot of work and there was a general sense of discourse. Griz and Destiny agreed to take on the Pack with Griz being named the first non-wolf Alpha of a Pack.

    IZZY POV“So what do you do, Elias?” Reese asked. I could see his nostrils flaring a little to see if he was a wolf. I didn’t sense a wolf in him, but I wasn’t going to ask. It was kind of like asking someone’s religion or income. If they offer the information, we could talk about it. But only if they offer it.“I’m a bounty hunter,” he said. Kat was clinging to his arm.“A supernatural bounty hunter,” she corrected. “He works for the Council, believe it or not.”Elias smiled. “Kind of. They hire me on occasion. I work for myself,” he corrected her gently.“Sorry,” she said, smiling. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. I grinned. I was so happy for my friend.“Tell us about one of your captures,” Destiny asked. She was next to Griz,

    IZZY POV“How are you doing?” I asked Destiny. We were busy hanging decorations around the backyard, and it was the first time I had a moment alone with her in a week. I knew she was feeling really guilty about Kat leaving.She shrugged. “I’m okay. I just feel awful every time I look at Griz. I never intended for her to leave. I just wanted her to be more careful.”I dropped the streamer I was holding and put my arm around her. “I know. And so does everyone else, including Kat. She just needed a change. She spent so much time and effort making sure every part of Cornelius was destroyed that she doesn’t know what to do now. She’s just trying to find her place.”Destiny sighed. “Tell Griz that. He is worried about her.”“She’s moving around pretty quickly,” I offered. “I think sh

    IZZY POVThey say a Luna’s work is never done. They’re right.I got back and had my bath and some alone time with my mates, but the pack business didn’t slow down. I was involved in the planning of the half-way house we were building as well as another youth center. I approved budgets and began working on the nursery upstairs, a room we hadn’t used in eight years. And then I began to plan the summer solstice celebration, a tradition that we had upheld since we first started it thirteen years ago.“Black and white this year?” Destiny asked. “I hate black and white,” Lucy said. “It makes everything look so formal and this should be fun.”“Okay. Black and gold?” Destiny was relentless. Lucy threw a wadded up napkin at her.“You only want black because you love it,” Lucy accused her.Destiny shrugged.&

    IZZY POVThe gavel dropped and the room exploded. I turned and Kat flew into my arms, hugging me. She wasn’t normally demonstrative, and I was pleased. I needed someone to hug right now, and Kat was perfect.She was also a great bodyguard. She pulled me through the reporters at the door and only got tripped up by one of the fae reporters who used projection to try to block us. Kat pushed him over and got me out of there and into a taxi without further incident.“Keystone Airport,” she told the taxi driver, naming a private airport. I was guessing that my mates had communicated with her.“I can’t wait to get back to the pack,” I said, leaning against the back seat. “I’m exhausted. I just want a bath and an uninterrupted night of sleep.”“I’m not going back with you,” Kat said suddenly. I sat up.“Why?

    IZZY POVThe twenty-four members of the Councils filed out, leaving me standing at my table, still in the handcuffs. Thanks to Johan, the handcuffs were the normal ones that they used in the human world which meant I could break them if I needed to, but I wasn’t going to. I wanted the shifter world to see what was going on.After the council members left, Kat walked over to me bringing a couple of chairs. She plopped them down and I gratefully sat. “Did you have a vision earlier?” she asked.I nodded, rubbing my forehead. “Was it obvious?”“To me,” she answered. “I know you. I was about ready to create a diversion.”I chuckled. “You’re a good friend,” I said. A look crossed her face for a second but then disappeared. I had said something that bothered her. Curious.Her phone chirped and she looked at it.&n

    REESE POVThere was an outburst from the spectators in the viewing area. The main werewolf and main vampire council members were banging their gavel, telling people to be quiet. We all exchanged grins.“We are not the ones on trial here, Luna,” the main vampire council member said fiercely.“No. You’re not. I am. And I am telling you why I had to do what I did,” Izzy said. She turned to the werewolf council again.“Who among you believed that the prophecy from Nehum thirteen years ago was about me?” She kept eye contact until all twelve members had their hands raised. “And who among you thought that the prophecy was also about my sons?” The same twelve hands were raised.“And the same on the vampire side?” she asked, turning. Reluctantly, some of their heads nodded. The others resolutely ignored her, keeping thei

    REESE POV“This session will now come to order.” We were watching the trial on television. The Council, in their infinite wisdom, had decided at the last minute to broadcast the trial on a special encrypted channel that Packs would have access to. We had turned it on first thing this morning when we woke up, looking at an empty room somewhere in Salt Lake. We were watching when the members from both Councils filed in, twenty-four in total. Johan was part of the werewolf council. Alessia had gasped when she saw him take his seat.They had brought Izzy in with handcuffs on. I had roared, losing control of my wolf, but Alessia had wrestled me down. “It’s for show,” she had soothed me. “They’re not silver. Just look. She’s fine. She can break them in a second.” Vin was not convinced but at least he gave me control back.“Isadora Killian, Luna of the Moonstone Pack, you were called before the Council today to answer to an entire list of charges.
