POV Lance
I 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 SamanthaAfter an hour or so, I got up off the bed and went to the food tray. I sighed trying to decide if I could trust Shimon or not. I finally went with my gut and ate everything but the roll which I threw away in the garbage, wrapped in a couple napkins so no one would notice it. After eating, I took a shower and changed into some leggings and a t-shirt that I found in the dresser. I had nothing to do after that, so I sat on the desk and watched out the window for a while. I was surprised to see both pack members and rogues walk by. They both seemed to be guarding the house and my window. They glanced my way every once in a while but avoided eye contact. I got the feeling that Alpha Barron had threatened them with a punishment if they interacted with me in any way.After a few hours, I heard the door lock click. I slid off the desk and was surprised to see the same woman that delivered the tray come back in. She glanced be
POV Lance"Hello, dear brother. We need to talk." my older brothers voice announced through my phone.I snarled."Shimon! Where is she?" I spat and the rest of the room continued to watch me.Alpha Jack motioned for me to put the phone on speaker and I did as he wished."She's safe, unharmed. Well... except for Jon slapping her but she's fine now." he said in a voice I had never heard from him before."THAT FUCKER SLAPPED MY SISTER!" Troy exploded.There was silence on the other end for a moment as Shimon must have realized that he was on speaker with her family."He did and now he's dead. She's healed and fine. I won't allow her to be harmed again. I swear." my brother vowed and I narrowed my eyes.This wasn't my older brother. Shimon was usually cold, heartless and cruel. Just like our father. He wouldn't care that Samantha had been slapped. He wouldn't care about her at all. I felt a bloom of jealousy
POV SamanthaThe last few days were.... awkward to say the least. Barron demanded that Shimon stay with me almost all of the time. Shimon and I tried to plot and plan but we couldn't do much since Barron refused to allow Shimon his phone. Barron said that he was worried that I would take the phone for Shimon and call Lance. Shimon wasn't too bad. He slept on the floor and I could see that he was devoted to his mate, Emma which made me trust him more. He was sure not to make me feel uncomfortable and was a perfect gentleman. He also set up the uprising for tonight. I was hopeful but I was worried too. At the moment, I was in my room alone. Shimon told his father that he needed to spend some time in his office to catch up on paperwork. He pleaded with his father, telling him that he wouldn't be able to do much for the next few days after marking me. He said that he would want to spend his time with me after the marking ceremony. Lu
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
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 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 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
