Alaia POV I fully believe that wolves handle grief differently than humans do. With Alexi being human, it made it so much harder for him to get over the fear that gripped him when he found out I had sacrificed myself to Vincent. When they all arrived to rescue me, he looked like he couldn’t believe I was still alive. Maybe he had convinced himself I was already gone as a coping mechanism. Whatever it was, we had plenty of nights afterwards where he would leave the room and wander the house or the grounds around it alone. He was still an amazing father to the boys, and he took care of the pack with all the love and attention one would expect of him. But when it came to me, he remained distant. He was hurting deeply, but he never said anything. I had tried so many times to talk to him about it, to try and heal him, but he never wanted any part of it. But I couldn’t understand why. Maybe it wasn’t for me to understand. That night I found him in the gym was the final straw. I had to

FOUR MONTHS LATERAlexi POVI felt myself tossing and turning in bed. I was having the same dream that had kept me up for months. I thought it was behind me and behind us, but I was wrong. She had gone to Vincent. He had drained her. She was gone. My heart beat erratically in my chest; these memories were going to kill me. I shot up in bed, my clothes clung to my soaking wet frame. I looked around, and it was still dark out. My phone on the table read 3:07 AM. I still slept in the room that we shared with Alaia. I could not bring myself to leave it, not when everything still smelled like her. But maybe it was those scents that lead my mind down the rabbit hole each and every night. “I’ll never get back to sleep. Maybe I just need a run,” I said as I slipped out of bed.I pulled on some sweats and went down to the gym and hopped on the treadmill. This had been my ritual for months now; the insomnia was impossible to contend with, so I had to run out all my energy if I had any cha

Alexi POV To My Loves,Please take care of our sons. They will need you now more than ever. I know you can help raise them to be men I would be proud of. Always let them know that they are loved, and that I loved them so much that I sacrificed myself so they could live. And please don’t let this choice I have made break you. Continue to work with each other and lead this pack. I know this will be hard, but you two can do it. Tell Matt that Taylor is lucky to have him, he shouldn’t waste any time with her. It’s precious and we never know when it will run out. And to Aaron and Jordyn. I’m sorry I won’t see them have their first child or get married, but l have always loved them both. They kept me going until I found my way to you two. I’ll be forever grateful. Alexi, and Xander. You two have been my moon and my stars. Being your wife as been my greatest gift. But as the Amethyst Wolf, my obligation is not just to you but to my pack, and to all. No one should die for something I ca

Alexi POV “So we’ve got it now. We’ll strike Vincent tomorrow after nightfall. We will have all those who are unable to fight protected down in the tunnels until we return. Alaia and the twins will be among them.”Alaia had sat in on the meeting and when she heard the plan she shot up from her chair. “What kind of plan is that, Alexi? Sending all of the pack into a fight? They will die, maybe not all of them but enough will.”“Angel, this is how these things go. No member of this pack is unwilling to die for the life of their Luna. We aren’t doing anything out of the ordinary.”She looked around for a moment, then turned to Xander and me. “And Aaron? Is he coming along, too, or will he just send extra guys over to us?”I knew just what she was getting at. But I also promised to never lie to her. “He is coming. Jordyn will stay home but he wants to personally make sure Vincent dies.”She then turned to look at Matt. “You just found your mate, Matt. Doesn’t that matter? Taylor may

Alaia POVAfter we had our dinner, Xander drove us to the movie theater where the guys picked a random action spy movie for us to watch. It seemed interesting enough, but after the scene in the diner, I didn’t really care what we watched. I was distracted; all I wanted to watch was one of these two go down on me. That’s the movie I’d pick. I chose seats all the way in the back of the theater, I didn’t want any distractions for what I had planned.The lights dimmed a little for the previews and I lifted the arm rests on either side of me so that I could have easy access. The guys were watching some explosion on the screen when I reached out both hands and grabbed onto their dicks through their pants.Xander seemed surprised at first but Alexi, he was ready and waiting. He’d made me a promise at the diner and I intended for him to keep it.I leaned over to each of them and whispered “Zippers down, you know what I want.”They quickly obliged, and I put my hands into their pants and grabb

Alaia POVKatherine and Kimmy decided that they would come and watch the babies while Xander, Alexi, and I went out for the night. We didn’t get to have a honeymoon, and things at the house had been less than romantic with all the plotting to kill Vincent. I decided that I wanted to have a laid-back kind of date. I didn’t need anything fancy; I just wanted to spend some quiet time. So we did dinner and a movie. We found a small diner outside of Jade City that was said to have some of the best burgers in the area. Luckily, the place was small and relatively empty. The looks we got when we walked in were comical. They didn’t know what to make of me showing up draped across two tall, gorgeous men, but we didn’t care. We picked a booth at the back corner and settled in. The waitress came over and immediately started giving the guys “the eye,” but instead of being sexy, she looked like she was having a stroke. She leaned over the table towards Xander before saying, "I’m Trina, your ser

Matt“You want me to do what?”“We just need to know if you’d be willing to convince a certain shewolf into working with us,” Kade cryptically said. “Right. And why can’t one of you four do it?” Tyson asked. “Uhh …”“Oh, for fucks sake. Tyson, North River pack was once on good terms with us until I refused to marry their Alpha’s daughter, Claudia. Then, a few months ago, I refused to build a couple of hotels for her because she was a bitch to Taylor. They have connections that we may or may not need. We’re not sure yet, but if we do, we’ll need someone who hasn’t pissed her off before to bring her in,” I said. “And by ‘convince’ and ‘bring her in,’ I’m guessing you aren’t suggesting friendly conversation. And obviously, you’re not asking me to kill her, so that only leaves sex. You guys want me to fuck this chick for information and connections. Am I right?”“Not necessarily, but it could come to that. She can be a little frisky,” Xander said with a laugh. “You could have just sai

Kade“Fuck! How do you catch me with that move every time?”“Because I’m better than you are. Once you accept it, your face will thank you.”Tyson and I had been sparring for a while now. It had become our Wednesday morning routine, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t read him. This guy was an incredible fighter, probably one of the best I’d ever seen, and I was determined to kick his ass. Hopefully. He dropped his arms and blew out a breath. “You’re approaching this all wrong. Stop thinking of this like you’re fighting another wolf. Wolves are pack animals; bears are solitary. One-on-one, based on size alone, a bear would destroy a wolf. But when you’re part of a pack, the odds even out.”“I know all that. What’s your point?”“My point is, every Wednesday, you come out here to beat me as your only goal. And you leave disappointed each time. How about you learn from me instead? You’re putting your focus and energy in the wrong place. You’ve got to walk before you can run.”A

DrewNinety-six days. That’s how long I’ve been laid up in this filth hole, fighting for my life. I don’t know what those Blue Moon fucks did to me, but I haven’t heard from my wolf Killian since I woke up, and without him, I’ve been unable to heal properly. Three months of lying in bed, dealing with the pain of shattered knee caps, third-degree burns, broken bones, deep gashes and punctures, and disgusting infections. But the pain I can deal with; it only lasts for so long. Bones and burns would heal, and gashes would eventually close. Some things, though, would never heal. Not everything could be rectified with time.When the Gamma took that saw and cut off my right arm, I’d never before felt that type of agony. And he watched as I screamed and kicked. He made me weak and took pleasure in it. I would never be able to fight and protect myself again; never be able to hand out punishments to the unworthy, or be a wolf worth fearing. He took everything from me, and I’d return the favo

MattThree months later …It took a lot of convincing, but I was finally able to convince Taylor not to call off the baby shower that our moms had worked so hard to plan. Shortly after Drew disappeared, we told her parents what was happening so that they would take precautions. That meant that we also had to tell them that their daughter was now a wolf. When they found out, Robert and Nancy refused to take our calls for weeks, but I think they were more hurt that they were kept in the dark than anything else. Eventually, they came around, and now here we are, about to celebrate the fact that our daughter would be born in less than four weeks. I admit that it was hard to celebrate, but Taylor needed the distraction. We all did. There hadn’t been one sighting of Drew since he escaped, and we had no clue where to find him. We had some of the best trackers in the world, but still came up with nothing. But today, I wanted to see Taylor’s beautiful smile and hear her laugh. I wanted her

MattI didn’t sleep last night. I just couldn’t. I was never the guy who got pleasure out of someone else’s pain, and I never thought that I would disrespect my mate. But in the span of one night, I did both, and I didn’t know who I was anymore. The sun wasn’t up yet, so as quietly as I could, I crept downstairs and to the kitchen. I was surprised to see Tyson there, drinking coffee and sitting in the dark. Xander had a guest room set up for him on the second floor while his living situation was being figured out. “What are you doing up? You’ve got a beautiful woman in your bed, and you’re down here?”I walked to the coffee pot and poured myself a huge cup, then went and sat next to him. “Last night was fucked up. I never expected things to go as far as they did.”“It’s a fucked up world we live in, but you knew that going in. So, what’s the real issue?”“I enjoyed it.”“Ahh. Well, that’s different.”“Yeah.”We sat in silence for a few minutes before he dropped some words of wisdom

MattTaylor was tucked in bed, fast asleep, and she was safe. I would never have to worry about something happening when she was out of my sight again, and I’ve never been more relieved. I stood in the basement watching as Tyson and Kade snapped silver-coated shackles onto Drew’s wrists and hoisted him up into the air. I had no idea how much tranquilizer Tyson had given him, but he was comatose the entire ride home. “You gentlemen ready to wake him up?” Tyson asked. “Absolutely. I’ve waited long enough,” I said, stepping closer to Drew’s dangling body. Kade walked over to the table in the corner and picked up a syringe and a blow torch. “Which one? I’m sure either will get the job done.”“Why not both?”He smiled at me, then handed me the blowtorch while he positioned the syringe of wolfsbane at Drew’s neck. Once I had the torch lit, I looked over his body to find the best spot to begin. I settled on his left hand. It was the closest, and I’m sure he used it more than a few time
