POV Lance
I hung up with Samantha and growled. I was livid. How dare she not tell anyone about the notes. How dare she not tell me! I stood and walked briskly to go find my beta, Trevor. He was in his office like I thought and I banged open the door and walked in. He looked up at me in surprise.
"What's wrong?" he asked and I snarled.
"Sammy has been getting threatening notes a couple times a day since Saturday. She didn't tell anyone of course, and the fucker even dropped one in her bedroom while she was showering in the adjoining bathroom this morning. On top of all that, the future beta of the Dark Moon pack is missing and has been for over a week but no one noticed it until this weekend. Oh, yeah and Sam's been seeing someone who looks like Alpha David around town. You know, the supposedly dead guy that abused and tortured her as a child?" I spat out at him.
Trevor just blinked at me for a moment.
"I'm taking the plane with our
POV SamanthaI took a deep breath after Lance made that statement and thought. Could that be true? Why would some stranger try to help me? Why would he do it in such a way? Why would he go to so much trouble?I shook my head, there was no reason for someone to do this but Lance was right, the notes did seem more like warnings than threats."If that's true and someone's worried about Sammy, why warn her this way? Why wouldn't they just come to Dad or I?" Troy questioned."Maybe because they don't trust the pack?" Trevor spoke up."Okay but then who is this 'he' that's mentioned? How would a lone wolf living out in the wilderness know anything about someone targeting Samantha before they actually did it?" Eddie asked.Dad cleared his throat uncomfortably and I glared at him."What are you not telling us, Dad?" I pushed and he sighed."I just need everyone to stay calm. Agreed?" he said and we nodded
POV LanceWe looked at the cave after the cabin but didn't find much there. It was just clothes and food with a place to sleep. This guy probably had sites like this all over these woods. He was probably in one right now.I didn't know how to feel about him. He was stalking my mate but he didn't seem to want to harm her or take her, in fact he was actively trying to keep her safe.Why didn't he just tell us what was going on though? Why was he so secretive? Part of me thought that maybe he was just insane and fixated on Sammy but my gut told me not to dismiss him like that. I would never forgive myself if something happened to Sam because we didn't take his w
POV SamanthaWhen we got back to the pack house we met with the others in my fathers study. Dad just gave us a rundown on what was happening which added up to not much. The trackers were in the woods, still trying to track the note leavers scent but Dad had sent two to go to where Jon disappeared from. He doubted that they would be able to track him since the trail was so old but he had to try. There had been even more rumors around the packs that Jon was taken by a rouges. Not just any rouges either but a massive rouge army.No one could prove any of these rumors. No one had actually seen Jon with rouges or even a rouge army. If this was true, whoever was leading them knew how to hide from the packs. Lance and I got up at the usual time on Friday morning. We had decided last night that Troy, Stacy, Jules, Ash , Taylor and my Mom would be going back to the Golden pack with Lance and I. Of
POV Lance"Go ahead onto the plane." I told Sam and the others as I helped my warriors with the luggage.We had just arrived at the runway and the plane was almost ready to go. Troy and Sam looked like they were going to argue with me but I sent them both a look and I was pleased when they backed down and followed the others up the stairs. I was immensely glad they had a few moments later when I felt my neck prickle like I was being watched. I did a quick scan of the area but didn't spot anything out of the ordinary. I shook my head and looked one more time before stowing the last suitcase and ordering my warriors to board.I smiled when I stepped onto the plane. The plane was large but all our guests sat near each other and were all talking loudly to one another. Eddie and Jules were both laughing loudly over something Eddie had said. Stacy and Troy were playfully arguing. Ash and Sean were snuggled together while Sean was talking
POV SamanthaMy blood ran cold as Dad said those words. I looked up at Troy who looked as shocked as I. Steve and Mary were like our Aunt and Uncle. We had grown up with them. They were there for everything. Every birthday, every holiday, every major life event. They were family to us."How is that possible? I thought they had Mike to guard them?" I asked."They did, Mike said that they were out for a hike all together and a group of rouges surrounded them. He tried to fight them off and killed three of them before they knocked him out. Steve and Mary fought back too. They each killed two rouges as well but Mike said that there were almost twenty rouges after them." Dad replied with a broken voice."Is he okay? Were the kids with them? Are they okay?" I shot back.Steve and Mary have three kids all under the age of eight. I just hoped that they were safe and unharmed."The kids were home with a babysitter. Steve's Mom and Da
POV LanceI felt my mate inhale sharply at his words."What did the note say?" she demanded."It was addressed to me and on my desk right when I got back from learning about Mary and Steve. It said that you need to stay with Lance, Samantha." he said."Why?" Troy asked."He said that it's not safe for you here. That Lance and his pack can protect you for right now. It also said that I need to meet this note writer. It listed a time and place." he continued."I don't know, Dad. This could be a trap." Troy warned and I nodded in agreement."I don't know either but I feel like I should meet him. He said that he can explain everything and vowed that I won't be harmed. He even said that I could bring warriors and guards." Alpha Jack continued.It was silent for a moment."What do you think, Sammy?" her Mother finally asked.She took a deep breath in and I could practically see the wheels turning in her
POV Alpha Jack2 hours earlierI nervously shifted my feet and sighed as we stood at the appointed spot. I eyed the area carefully as did my warriors. They had been briefed on everything going on. In fact, the whole pack had been. I had called a late night pack meeting after talking to my wife on the phone last night and we decided that it was best to tell them everything. Our pack was a tight knit group, run on trust and love and I didn't want to betray that now. Neither did my wife. I should have discussed it with my children but by the time Sara had brought it up, it was so late and I wanted them to get some sleep. I knew that they would agree with us anyways.My poor pack was exhausted and worried. They were scared for the Beta couple and for my daughter but I was so proud at the way the responded to the news. After I told them the story, there was silence for a moment and then one of the elders spoke up.
POV Samantha"What do you mean, brother?" I asked as the rest of the group went pale."He's here with me. His name is Creed. I think that it's best if he tell you the story himself. Just listen and don't panic, okay?" Dad replied."Okay." I said weakly."Hi, Samantha. Hello everyone." A deep voice came on."Hello." I whispered back."I'm sorry to tell you this way. I wish that it could be in person. Just please trust me." he pleaded as he began his story.By the end, I'm flabbergasted. I look up to see that my family and friends are in the same state I am. I turned to see Lance. His eye capture mine and I see worry and rage in his."JON?!! Are you sure?" Troy was the first to speak."I wish that I wasn't. I've watched him with Samantha for years. I don't know when he got involved with the rouges. He's the one in charge now though. I saw your beta couple get brought in too. They recognized him and c
POV SamanthaThe last few years have been bliss. All three packs are thriving and due to our close bonds, countless mates have found each other which has only bonded us closer. The Blood Moon, Golden and Dark Moon pack are now the top packs in the world. No one would dare challenge or harm us. Our packs are havens for our pack members and while nothing is perfect, the pack members are safe and happy. Our pack is just and many lone wolves seek us out to join, knowing that they will be valued and not mistreated.Shimon and Emma just had their second and third children. Twin girls. They already have a three year old boy that reminds me of his Uncle Troy more and more everyday. Good luck to his sisters, at least there's two of them. They might actually stand a chance against their overprotected brother and father. That's my hope at least.Shimon's mate Emma and our beta, Trevor's mate, Emma are best friends. They call each other daily and vi
POV LanceThe rest of the night went exceedingly well. The packs were all pleased with our plans and I could see that while the Dark Moon pack was sad that Sammy was moving, they were relieved that she would still have a place in the pack and regular contact with them. I was surprised to see how happy the Blood Moon pack was with Shimon taking leadership, Emma being announced as Luna and with Samantha as an advisor. They were also pleased that Elder Summers and Alpha Jack were going to assist. They were showing so much trust in the new leaders and I was relieved to see that my old pack would have a bright and happy future.The Golden pack was overjoyed at the news of Samantha formally becoming our Luna and moving in with us. The cheer that our warriors sounded was ear splitting. The rest of the night was a haze of happy faces and congratulatory hugs and handshakes. Samantha stayed by my side the whole time and neither of u
POV SamanthaSomeone knocked on our door and just like before, Lance hurried to answer it. I heard a murmur of voices that I recognized as Annie and Lance thanked her as he pulled in a book bag and two garment bags and I sat up as he closed the door."Annie brought us some clothes. She said that there's new undergarments and shoes in the bag along with some hair and make up stuff. She offered to come help you but I didn't think that you would want her to. I can call her back if you do?" he asked."No, I'm good to do it on my own. I want to spend your last hour alive together." I teased and he rolled his eyes."Don't kid. They really might kill me." he replied but he had a smile on his face."We better get ready. We don't have much time." I said as I got up.I walked to the bathroom still naked and he eyed me hungrily. I shook my head at him."Don't look at me like that. We don't have time." I said.
This chapter contains mature scenes. POV Lance"Of course" she whispered and that's all I needed to hear.I was on top of her in a second, kissing anywhere I could reach as she moaned and wiggled underneath me. I pinned her to the bed and kissed her deeply and any hesitation left in my mind flew away. This woman was my everything and I finally was able to show her. My hands roamed down to the bottom of her shirt. I pulled it up as we broke apart. She lifted her back to help me pull off the offending article of clothing. Once off, I threw it behind me and smirked down at her half naked form."You are breathtaking, baby." I moaned at the sight of her.She blushed and I groaned again, feeling my pants tighten more than I thought possible. She smiled then and reached for my shirt. I reached down and pulled it over my head before she could do anything. My shirt then went sailing after hers. She gasped as sh
POV SamanthaCreed pulled me gently away from my father and held me close."I'm so glad that you are alright. We have to make up for lost time together now." he whispered and I nodded."Thank you, Creed." I said and he looked down at me in confusion."For what, honey?" he asked."For watching over me. For protecting me. For being my brother." I replied and his face transformed into a huge grin."Oh, Sammy. You don't have to ever thank me. That's what big brothers do." he said as Troy walked over to us."Can I get in on this sibling love?" Troy asked and we smiled at him as we wrapped our arms around him."Creed, I hope you know that you now have a brother as well as a sister." Troy announced and Creed looked him over carefully for a moment."Awesome. I've always wanted a brother. Plus now we can make sure that Sam is protected no matter what." Creed replied."Crap." I muttered and everyone chuckle
POV Lance"Fuck!" Troy yelled as he took off running.We all followed him to a scene that made my heart stop. Stacy and Samantha were standing in a circle of my father's warriors. My dad was pointing a gun at Samantha. At my mate! Just as we ran up, he shot it and I felt myself almost break. We all watched in horror as Stacy leapt at Samantha, knocking her down. Troy roared and started attacking the warriors. The rest of us were quick to follow as we all tried to call out to Samantha and Stacy. As I beat the warrior in front of me, I saw Samantha rise and crawl towards Stacy. I snapped the warriors neck and ran to my mate.I killed another warrior that dared to get between us with ease. I reached the girls just as Troy did. We looked at each other in worry and I looked down to see Samantha sobbing over Stacy."It's okay. He just got my shoulder." Stacy said."You fucking bitch! Why would you do that? I could kill you!" my sweet mat
POV SamanthaElder Summers nodded and then Dad took over."We need to search the forest. I have warriors and allies guarding the edges so I don't think that Barron got out yet. He has a group with him, one of our allies saw him leave and said that he left with at least ten warriors of his own." Dad began and we nodded."We need to move fast but quietly. No one goes alone and link with us if you find him. Don't try to take him without backup." He finished.He then split us into groups, Dad, Mom, Ash and Sean in one; Elder Summers, Matilda, Jules and Eddie in another. That left me with Lance, Troy, Stacy, Shimon, and Creed. "That's not fair! Why are so many in my group?" I argued but Dad just sent me a look."Because I need to know that your safe. I need both my children to be safe so that's the way it will be. Otherwise, you can go back to the pack house." Dad replied coldly and I knew that there would be no changing his min
POV Lance I sprinted as fast as I could through the forest towards the fighting and my mate. I shifted into my wolf as I ran. I heard and smelled my mate's brothers and father next to me doing the same. We were all desperate to get to her. Behind me, her mother, best friend, and mentor were following with Sean, Ash, and Elder Summers who vowed to keep an eye on all of them.I knew that Alpha Jack, Troy and Elder Summers didn't want their mates in this fight but we hadn't had time for them to argue and there was no changing those women's minds. They were determined to help Samantha. I knew that Samantha would hate the fact that so many people she loved were put in harms way but my heart warmed at the fact that so many cared so deeply for her.We finally made it to the ceremony grounds, right where they used to be. I took a breath as I witnessed the carnage around me. The pack warriors and rogues were brutal and the upri
POV LanceI knelt down behind a bush as I kept my eyes on Alpha Jack, waiting for his signal. Samantha was supposed to link him just as the ceremony was starting so we could make our move. We had been watching the door to the dungeon for almost an hour and everything seemed to be going according to plan. I was relieved and worried when we watched a majority of the guards leave about twenty minutes ago. That would make our job easier but make Shimon and Samantha's situation that much harder. I was hopeful that this rescue operation would go quickly so I could go assist my mate. I exchanged a look with both her brothers that told me that they felt the same way. I knew that Shimon had vowed to keep Samantha safe and I knew what a good fighter she was but I also knew that the numbers were stacked against them. Plus, Samantha wasn't really the type to let other's fight for her. Shimon wouldn't be able to keep her out of the batt
