POV Samantha
My 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 LanceI felt a surge of panic as Luna Sara's phone rang and another as the power went out and everything went dark. There was eerie silence for a moment before a blood curdling scream filled the air. In an instant, I knew who it was and I stumbled to the door and out onto the hallway where the scream was born.I could hear Troy and Sean cursing as they followed me. I heard shuffling near me and rushed over to it. "Stop fighting me!" a voice yelled."Fuck you!" my mate cried as the sounds of a fight reached my ears.My vision was adjusting so that I could make out more shapes and figures around me. My werewolf senses were helping with this but the darkness was so complete that it was still difficult to see much."Assholes" I heard Sammy spit.I hurried down the hall with Sean and Troy on my heels just to stop at the hazy vision of my mate fighting off four huge men. I would be able to recognize my mate under
POV SamanthaI am fucking pissed! I packed in a huff and stomped to join with the others downstairs. Lance, Eddie and Sean all trailing after me. I glanced back to see the three of them trying not to laugh at me."Fuck all of you!" I snarled as we reached the group.Troy chuckled as Stacy looked up knowingly."She's still pissed?" Ash asked and Lance nodded slowly.Troy shook his head at me."It's a good thing that they underestimated you, sis. Would you rather that they hadn't and actually gotten you?" Troy asked as we made our way to the car.I sighed and got in. Mom sat next to me."Your brother's right." she said aloud."But I understand. You'll make Jon pay later." she whispered in my ear and I smirked with a nod."Damn right I will." I replied and she grinned evilly at me.Mom always understood. She was underestimated too. Every one always assumed that she was the sweet,
POV LanceI awoke on the floor with my head hammering. I opened my eyes but quickly shut them with a wince, trying to remember how I had ended up like this. Suddenly, it all came rushing back. The attack, the gas, Samantha! I shot up as I opened my eyes, no longer caring about my pain. I looked around to see Troy and Creed on either side of me. I looked behind me to where I had last seen Samantha and only spotted Stacy. I felt my stomach drop as I frantically searched around the room.I was the first one to wake but Creed and Troy soon were groaning. Creed came out of the stupor quicker and he jumped up and looked at me wildly."Where is she?!" Creed demanded as he joined me in my search.I shook my head, hoping that my suspicions were wrong but knowing deep down that they weren't. At his booming voice, Troy sat up along with Alpha Jack and Sean. Troy looked over to see his mate and I saw his face relax for a second before the realization
POV LanceThree days! Three fucking days my mate has been missing. I was frantic. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. All I could see when I shut my eyes were visions of her, bruised and battered. My mind couldn't let go of the pictures I had once seen of her when she was abused by Alpha David. I could barely function. I wasn't going to last much longer like this. I was going mad without her and I wasn't the only one.Both her brothers were in bad shape as well. Creed looked defeated and Troy barely spoke. Stacy was brokenhearted and Sean couldn't look anyone in the eye. Everyone felt guilt heavy in the their hearts. Her parents were trying to hold it all together but I could tell that they were at a breaking point.We tried to track where Samantha was taken but whatever happened, Jon had it well planned out. Almost too well planned out. He had taken her in vehicles that were waiting on the road. That we could see from the pack securit
POV SamanthaThree days beforeI gasped as I realized who the two men were. Their eyes were a dead giveaway. The older one smirked at me as the younger one looked at me blankly, almost angrily. "Do you know who we are, sweetie?" The older one asked.I nodded and then snarled at them."You are my mate's father and brother. The Alpha and future Alpha of the Blood Moon pack." I spat and Lance's father chuckled darkly."You are correct. Smart, beautiful and powerful. No wonder my son didn't want us to meet. You are a irresistible combination. I wish all my sons were so lucky in their true mates." his father said with a dark glare towards his oldest son.The son masked his face but when his father looked away, he shot him an evil glare. Out of habit, I sent out some waves to calm them. All three men sighed and Lance's father looked over to Jon in evil delight."She's just as powerful as you s
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
