Edward’s POV Kass and Delaney have been in the interrogation room for over three hours. They had talked to four rouges and two were barely breathing. Seriously, these two are not a good team. All we have learned is that they were sent to claim Cindy. A rouge Alpha was told Cindy is his son’s mate. She is freaking two years old! “I’m going on a rouge hunt,” Ike saids slapping my back. “You are not leaving me here with your pregnant mate and her best friend. Blake can go. Carlisha is not pregnant.” I say. “Bullshit, Blake isn’t ruthless enough. He won’t kill like I will.” “That may not be a bad thing. Remember all those witches you pissed off. Do you have any idea the money I had to pay out to keep you from being hexed?” “Yeah yeah, they all had it coming and you know it! Super hybrid what a ridiculous idea!” I smile at his anger. Yes the idea of a super hybrid is ridiculous and unnecessary. Packs, councils, Alphas, Elders, we aren’t going anywhere. Supernaturals crave lea
James’s POV Being Alpha is not all fun and games. Not that most werewolves think it is. I took over the Silver Creek Pack a year ago from my father Robert, and it has not been an easy year. First, the girl everyone hoped would be my Luna is not fated to me. Kassandra Byatt is the daughter of a warrior, an excellent fighter in both human and wolf form, she is the most beautiful she-wolf anyone has ever seen, and she is the nicest person. Literally, she is perfect. But she is fated to someone else. We talked about being chosen mates but we both want our fated mates. We want the ones who were made for us. So now at 20 we are both still unmated. Normally, she would be by my side. We don’t separate too often, it’s weird we know, but we are close. She stayed home this time something told me it would be okay.Second, I was challenged for my pack by my childhood rival Joshua. That was a fun episode in my life. Joshua was the Alpha to my neighboring pack, Blood Creek. He wanted to expand his
Edward’s POV So Erin and James Lopez? I’m okay with that. He’s a strong Alpha, insists on female warriors, has living parents, believes in the mate bond. As long as he comes to this meeting unmarked I’m good. Erin saw he and I spar to a draw at the interpack training three months ago, but they didn’t meet. Good thing too, my little sister is a total fan girl. I’m sure she hasn’t stopped talking yet. She fell head over heels for James calling him all forms of “hot” for the past three months. She has googled him, followed all the gossip, printed posters of paparazzi photos of him. It’s almost like she knew. James is the richest of the Alpha’s. I don’t do bad, I’m a billionaire too, but he’s more of a billionaire. His pack is smaller with less expensives. I might make more than him but I also spend more. Every wolf, peaceful vampire, light witch, troll, and peaceful rouge is interested in James Lopez. Ever since he turned eighteen he has been in all the sociality columns and tabloids.
James’s POV With four packs willing to send trainers it’s easy to split up who will go where. We separate the East into four quarters and Edward and I are elected as commanders. The idea is to have a standing arrangement between all the packs for mutual assistance. I text with Kassandra to go over the plan- Hey! I will be needing you to travel a bit training other packs. You down?- JamesI got your back. You know that! Where to first. Please say it’s to my brother.... I owe him a good beat down.- KassSorry it’s to Glen Creek-JamesUgh fine. When?”- Kass*heart emoji* After the Luna Ceremony at Sliver Creek- JamesOMG OMG OMG, who is she? I can’t wait to meet her! When will you both be home?- KassErin from Blood Moon she knows you-JamesOh hell yeah. Luna got moves. She’s a talker! Super cute. Y’all are going to be so awesome together. I’m so excited can I tell everyone or does Kline want to?- Kass Kline is my Beta and Taylor’s ex-boyfriend. Since Kline broke Taylor’s heart Ka
James’s POV We got back to the pack three hours earlier than we expected to. Kline was waiting for us at the Packhouse. Our packhouse is as old as the pack, about 1500 years. Alphas have upgraded and added to it over the centuries. The front entrance is the original building, gray stone two stories, the inside is mostly stone walls and we do have marble floors now. The original rooms are now the kitchen, dinning and recreation rooms. As well as a large ball room for pack events. The west wing was built in the 1600’s and is three stories high. Offices for the Gamma and Beta are in the ground floor, I don’t currently have a a Gamma so the second floor is unoccupied and my Beta Kline has the third floor. The East wing was built in the 1800’s the ground floor is guest rooms for visiting ranked pack members. The second floor is visiting Alpha suites and the third floor is for the Alpha’s family. Currently, it’s just me. My parents moved to a lake house when I took over. “Welcome home,”
Erin’s POV After being caught by Kass in James’s office I thought it would make things weird, but no, Kass never brought it up. So of course a few days after when she was helping me on my kicks I had to bring it up. “Luna it’s none of my business. We could hear you and I was chosen to be the one to close the door.” “Why you?” “Because it’s not the first time I’ve caught Alpha.” “Oh” my eyes must of lit up because Kass smriked. “Give me dirt.” I beg. “I don’t gossip Luna,” Kass smiled. “Okay tell me this, you and James ever?” Kass busts out laughing, “no never. James wouldn’t sleep with anyone from the pack. No I’ve caught him with visiting young women. Mostly Alpha’s Daughters a couple Beta’s daughters. But me, I’m waiting for my mate.” “I waited too, but I didn’t have to wait long,” I laugh. Kass smiles, “yeah George has been trying to convince me to chose him. But more so he can be Gamma.” “Would you ever take a chosen mate,” I keep kicking the bag. “Never,” Kass smiles.
Edward’s POV I’m packing my sister’s room up. I’m doing it myself because I need to morn. When we lost our parents all we had was each other. Erin and I became very close. She has acted as Luna for two years despite her young age. To pack or not to pack her James Lopez stalker file? I love my sister, but this is too good a prank to pass up. I add a special toy to this box and mark it JAMES. What kind of a big brother would I be if didn’t prank my baby sister. Maybe I should gift wrap it and add a bow? Nah. That’s too much. I have all her boxes taped and ready. I can’t believe in a couple of hours I will be on the jet taking all of this to Silver Creek in the Southeast so my sister, my only family, my reason to stay alive, can start her life. My baby sister, is all grown up. I look back at her room stripped and empty. I sit on the bare mattress and I feel them in my eyes. The door is locked and the room is soundproofed. I know I’m an Alpha but damnit this is my baby sister. I cry. A
James’s POV “Kassandra come out of there now,” I used my Alpha tone. It’s useless but I had to try. We all are standing outside her door. Kass has refused to come out after Taylor told her Alpha Edward is her mate. “Why is she not coming out?” Edward is getting aggravated. “Alpha Commands don’t work on her, never have. That is how we knew she was fated to an Alpha.” I explained. “Kass come on. Talk to him.” “He is going to reject me,” Kassandra Byatt is crying actually crying. I’ve known her my whole life. I’m not even sure she cried as a baby. “Why would I reject you?” Edward looks at my mate confused. My mate shrugs.“You reject your mates. The other two cried and you killed them. I’m a warrior if I go crazy I might kill someone.” Kass had a point. Warriors who are rejected have to be put down almost immediately. Especially ones as skilled as Kass. “I have never had a mate to reject. What the hell are you talking about?” Edward looks angry. “See,” my mate’s laugh fills the ha
