Hearing Kendall's take on everything is interesting. The hardest part is knowing how things will end, I realized some of this is redundant, but it is important to Kendall and Mia's story. Thank you for continuing to read. Please leave me a comment or a gem if you're so inclined. I have visual story enhancements on my socials. Also If you haven't taken the opportunity to check out Alpha Baylor, give it a try, it's fresh and humorous. -A :)
Kendall POV We spent our time waiting this afternoon, discussing battle strategies because we were fairly certain this would end in war. When Alpha Kieran informed us that the council had been cleared through the gates to his territory, all I could think is this will finally be over soon. The men who came on the door were sharply dressed and exuded power and arrogance. The man who appeared to be the leader spoke first, “Alpha Kieran, I assume you called on us with appropriate evidence to support your accusations.” Did this man think we had nothing better to do than waste their time? Of course we have evidence, I thought to myself. “Yes High Counselor, we have files and statements from all that have been directly involved in this situation. We will also have a large piece of physical evidence to support the accusations within the hour. It would have been here already but we just learned of its existence a few hours ago.” The leader nodded, “Very well, I assume you have the files and s
Mia POV When I woke up this morning Kendall had already left our room, he was going to work on hacking into the computer in his father’s office. We had discussed it a little bit last night and he didn’t feel like it was going to be a big challenge since he’s done it before, just not remotely. I went down for breakfast after I had a shower to find mom and Luna Fran drinking coffee and chattering on about the past. They were giggling like a couple school girls and it was nice to see mom really enjoying herself. Mom gets along with her Beta and Gamma females, but I haven’t ever seen her like this. I wonder if it will be like that for me being in Kendall’s pack away from my closest friends from home. ‘Nope, don’t think like that Mia. This isn’t like mom at all. I have good friends less than an hour away and maybe I will be closer to my Beta and Gamma females because we’ll be working to rebuild the pack,’ I thought to myself. “Good morning baby Luna,” my mom said grinning. “Mom, I am ol
Mia POV When the others return from the territory gates, I am not sure what I expected to hear. But the fact that Kendall’s father was found and captured hadn’t been it. This was one of the things we had been waiting for. It was a step towards the closure Kendall needed so he could become the Alpha of Rip Claw pack. He loved his people and blamed himself for not doing something sooner to make their lives better. He didn’t take into account that he was doing something now and that his people would understand that he had to do things the way he did for them. The other thing I never expected was for Gideon to find his mate. He has been a friend to our family all of my life and it has always just been him. I could tell that his mate was wary of us and I hoped for Gideons sake that it would change. Right now though we were headed to the hospital with my parents, Frankie’s parents, and Frankie and Nikki to fill the council in on recent developments. Once at the hospital, Dr. Lynn set us
Kendall POV I did it, my father was dead. A storm of emotions raged through me as I knelt by his lifeless body. I don’t even know why, but I was sobbing. This was my father’s body, but he had ceased being my father when power and greed consumed him. I felt a hand on my back and realized that Nikki had knelt beside me. “I am sorry Nikki, I know you wanted to be the one to avenge your parents, but I couldn’t let him get away with it anymore,” I said as tears continued to stream down my face. “It was supposed to be you, I wanted it, but you did the right thing. He was going to walk out of here and either start doing it all over again or vanish and never pay for his actions, you did the right thing,” she replied. One of the councilmen cleared their throat, “Alpha Kendall we need to discuss what has happened here today. When you have said your good-byes, will you meet us at the mansion?” I nodded and when I looked up, I realized that the Head Counselor was laying a few feet away with a
Kendall POV We spent the day in training yesterday and I have to say watching Mia was truly fascinating. She is remarkable both in hand to hand and in wolf form. Her movements were fierce yet graceful; she was no delicate little flower. I have said it before and I will likely say it many times more; She is my treasure, my perfect blessing from Selene. Today is the day and I wish I could say that I am ready for it but the truth is I have slept for crap these last two nights. Don’t get me wrong there is no love lost over killing my father. Quite the opposite actually. It has been two nights of the same thing on loop in my dreams, my father telling me I am worthless, I can’t do this, and he will always win. Today is the day I prove him wrong though once and for all. He may be dead, but he is still in my head and the sooner we free Rip Claw from the rogues and begin rebuilding, the better. There is so much riding on this that if I let my father’s words sway me, I would fail. Failure is
Mia POV After the battle was over, our injured and dead were transported off of the field. Kendall, my dad and I made our way to the Rip Claw packhouse. Kendall asked one of the omegas to get some fresh clothing and show my dad to the guest suite so he can shower and change. We stopped by Keegan’s room to find something for me to change into, then we made our way to Kendall’s room to shower and change. I wasn’t completely thrilled with wearing his psycho, dead sister’s clothes, but now is not the time to be picky. “How do you feel, Alpha?” I asked as we undressed quickly to get into the shower. “Relieved it’s over, if I am totally honest,” he sighed. “We freed our people and that is the important part,” I replied. “You said our people,” Kendall grinned. I looked down not knowing if I had misspoken and said, “Well, I hope they are our people anyway. You haven’t changed your mind have you?” He used a finger to lift my chin and his eyes sparkled with excitement. “Yes Luna, they are our
Kendall POV I honestly didn’t know what I expected to find sifting through the mess left behind by the rogues and my father’s Beta and Gamma. But the level of depravity was astounding. They took everything they could from my people and when I say everything, I do mean everything. They collected what they called ‘taxes’ but in all reality was just their greed. The more a pack member had the more they took and worse was the treatment of unmated females no matter their status. They had the packhouse running as a brothel and if a female wouldn’t submit to their whims… I just can’t even talk about it. Poor Cookie won’t tell me what she has been through and I won’t force it, but I know it had to have been bad. I accidentally knocked the broom onto the floor when I entered the kitchen and she went into complete hysterics. I had to call Dr. Lynn who came from the Cold Moon Pack hospital to sedate her. I spoke to the human authorities this morning and found that they would not allow me to
Mia POV I am so proud of the progress that Kendall has made at sifting through the mess left behind by Hollis and the rogues. I can’t even call that vile man Kendall’s father and would never call him an Alpha. He was a disgrace to that title and his picture is next to the definition of evil in the dictionary. I don’t understand how any person can do half of the things he has done and still sleep at night. We discovered that Hollis had a lab set up in one of the warehouses, where he was testing the effects of some of the weapons he had been trafficking on different pack members who had angered him. Dr.Lynn from Cold Moon Pack came with an experimental cure that actually worked wonders in helping those who had been experimented on. She tried to explain that she used vampire blood to make some sort of protein fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum… I am definitely not science minded and it was all gibberish to me. It worked and that’s all that really matters, right? Apparently Holli
