I shook my head quickly, the rough pads of my father's thumbs swiping across my cheeks to rid them of tears," I'm alive, dad."
"How are you here? You're not supposed to be able to enter this realm, unless..." he trailed off, looking nervous to hear my answer.
"There’s this scary shifter god-" I began and he looked shocked.
"Novu?" He placed his hands onto my shoulders, looking around nervously. "Mordecai Richter, the pack raised you better than that."
I couldn't h

GIDEON"We're almost there, alpha," Orion brought me out of my daze as I looked around the city. Silas was driving the other car we used, with Morwenna and Mordecai inside it.My beta turned the corner and we entered the parking lot of the Doveport hotel where all regional alpha meetings were held. Today, however, was different. After a week of hiding inside my house I realized that I couldn't stay locked away forever. Mordecai was in a better position than me at this point to hold the main alpha title while I tried to either convince myself to keep or get rid of the child.'Stop acting like you don't want it

GIDEON"I'm fine. She just kicked really hard," I rubbed my temples as Alpha Cole and Alpha Ryder looked at me worriedly. I had just spent the last twenty minutes emptying any and everything my stomach held. By the time I came back all the others were gone and the two had stayed behind for our personal conversations.Morwenna was having a hard time keeping her mouth shut so I dismissed her, Silas, and Orion to mingle with the beta and gamma females of the other packs. Right now was not the time for her to be taking her jealous rage out on me.I swayed a bit on my feet and saw Mordecai begin to dash next to me. However his arms weren't the ones that caught me. The familiar

MORDECAITraining has been kicking my ass this week. Something inside of me shifted after I put Quinn in his place, and I wanted to ignore the feeling until I transformed into Dusk for the first time after.My entire class looked afraid of me and I quickly realized that my wolf had bulked up more than I was. Dusk's entire aura had changed to be similar to Gideon's - menacing. In first ranks we learn the basics of fighting with your wolf, so that when you reach seconds you'll be prepared to face one another in both forms during the tournament to become a third.My stomach dropped when I realized just how hard reaching thirds was. If the instructor was to be believed, most c

GIDEONThe first wave of snow hit the ground during the last week of November and it was as if time itself escaped me.We went from making care packages for the rogues escaping the could fall weather to leaving extra blankets and jackets for the unfortunate. My responsibilities lessened and within two weeks most of the people who lingered worriedly about Mordecai's ability to take over had completely stopped coming my way.It was as if my life became almost silent.The only thing anybody let me fret over was our annual yule celebration. Probably because it was the one thing e

MORDECAI 'Rogues!' The very word caused fear to creep inside me and take a strong hold. Ash Walker was well known to shelter those less fortunate and to have been built by a rogue himself. The fact that we were being attacked by them and on a scale large enough that the Beta announced it pack wide wasn't a good thing. People around me began to panic and when Gideon started to squirm I did too. No amount of training could ever prepare you for the moment you will have to actually put your self defense into action.

GIDEON "You have to breathe." The very words rattled my already aching head and body. Nothing anybody could say was taking this pain away. They offered herbs but I wouldn't take them. I didn't deserve them. 'Gideon you need to let me take over,' Otto was panicking inside my mind. Meanwhile Philo had long since run into the recesses for safety of what I might hurl their direction. To say I was able to be reasoned with right now was far beyond the truth. The moment the pains set in I knew a day I was dreading inevitably had come. "Gideon," this time it was my grandmother's voice breaking through the loud noise. I knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer. When Sadie set her mind to something she got what she wanted. It was where this retched bloodline's terrible curse of stubborness came from. Fuck. I was passing this onto Kailani as well. Just another fucking thing that was to be added to the mile long list of fuck ups I've made. "Gideon stop resisting and let Ottto take ov

MORDECAI"He'll be fine, dear. Sadie cooked him up something good so I can't imagine he'll be awake any time soon," Eloise gave my arm a soft squeeze as Julian cradled Kailani and Gideon snored quietly on the bed.Every bit of my being was on edge at the moment. We'd only been home long enough to clean up before Quinn kicked up a fuss over that weird ass kid. Ryder requested a moment of my time, and with our pack alliances… it was more like a demand.'We should be home with our pup. Nobody can protect them better than us,' Dusk huffed and bristled."Mordecai," Eloise spoke a bit more sternly. "We raised ten, so I think it might qualify us as reliable babysitters." The small woman gave me a warm smile as Julian chuckled."Fine, but if one tiny thing goes wrong you get in touch with me immediately. Okay?" My voice becoming more stern than necessary.Instantly Julian wrapped an arm around Eloise, bringing her into his side protectively as he cradled Kailani with his free arm," you'll be

GIDEON"Reveal yourself!" I demanded. The imposter, disguised as a child, quickly dropped their arms. They were playing their part well. Whomever sent them must've paid handsomely. This shifter was trained to stay in character so well that it reminded me of my council days.Fierce anger coursed through my body as the thought sunk in and the creature continued to stare at me with innocent eyes."Daddy?" He repeated again.A wail broke through the air and dragged me back to reality. My parents' house was a total wreck and the thick scent of blood was in the air.Taking a quick glance I found Jade cradling Quinn's massive form. Simon was ripping off his shirt trying to bandage up wherever he was hurt. Orion looked like he'd seen better days and my father looked ready to attack."Gideon…" Mordecai's voice called to me. He sounded scared, and when our eyes finally met it was confirmed. He was indeed scared. Blood was dripping down his lips and heavy bags were under his eyes. Instantly I so
