Jett POV

The short trip to Los Angeles gave me enough time to think up all sorts of wrong reasons why Richard Wolfe would send people to track the little bird. None of them made sense, but I was no less alarmed when I reached Forest Moon.

I rose and stomped out of the plane as soon as it touched the pack's landing field.

One of Alpha Nick's warriors approached as I was climbing down the stairs. He was the Deputy Chief Gamma. Killian Forrest. There were others with him whose names I didn't quite know.

"Welcome, Alpha Jett," greeted the deputy. "Your Beta called me. I wasn't expecting you until this afternoon."

"It's urgent," I replied. "I had to come immediately!"

"The thing is, Chief Richard is still unavailable at the moment," he said while leading me towards the mansion in the distance.

I decided that I was not leaving without seeing his boss, so I simply replied,

"I'll wait!" No matter how long it took for him to become available, I added silently.

Then he replied, "Of course. I'm sure they'll be out soon, anyway."

"They?"

"He's with the Alpha, Luna and Beta. And others. They're doing an important ceremony for his mate."

I nodded, then realized what he'd just.

"Did you just say his mate?"

"Yup," came the excited reply.

Jane, my sister, mentioned that Richard was dealing with personal issues. So it was a female problem, huh. Judging from the smile on his deputy's face, it was safe to say that it worked out. Good for him.

I was led to the visitor's lounge to wait. Killian had them offer me coffee and cookies as I tried to remain calm and patient. Thankfully, it did not take long for a maid to appear and announced that the Alpha said I could come inside.

Minutes later, I walked into Alpha's Nick's grand parlor to find him just emerging through a door with his family. His friends walked behind him. Little Alex, who sat on his shoulders, was the first to call out to me.

"It's Alpha Jett."

"It sure is," Nick replied as he lifted the child and set him down.

Then he came to clasps hands with me in greeting. The faint smell of blood wafting from his hand was a sure sign that he had just performed a blood pledge. That meant someone had just joined the Forest Moon.

"Welcome, Jethro. You look upset," he said. "Are you here to fight?"

"I sincerely hope not," I grumbled in reply and had barely finished the words when I caught sight of my person of interest.

Chief Richard Wolfe.

"Your Gamma and I have some things to clear up."

All of my attention moved to the male who was Chief of his gamma wolves now. Richard had his phone to his ear. A deep frown creased his brow as he listened intently to whoever he was talking to. Then he asked,

"Wait, wait! Who got Loki?"

"Me, Richard," I called out. "I got Loki!"

I vaguely noticed Nick's arched brow as he stepped aside and began heading towards the stairs. It seemed he would rather not get involved in any spat.

Meanwhile, Richard still had the phone to his ear as I went on,

"You sent those guys into MY city. You had them stalk a certain bird who they should never..."

My eyes wandered to the female beside him, and the rest of the words died on my lips. My heart shot to my throat as she stared back at me with those now-familiar dark brown eyes.

"Raven," I gasped.

The girl twisted her neck to look back. She wanted to see if I was talking to someone other than her. Only when her gaze returned to me did I regain a little of my senses.

She was not Raven. This girl was not the little bird I followed around all night. They had the exact same features, though.

I stood frozen, unable to take my eyes off her until Richard came to block my view.

"Who's Raven?" He asked.

"That's not her," I replied, straining to take a better look at the girl.

"Damn straight!" Richard made sure to stand in my way, totally shielding her from my view, which was very annoying.

"This is Tessa," he added. "My mate! Now, please tell me you didn't kill Loki. How did you even know the guy..."

He was still talking when Nick's Luna cut in.

"Alpha Jett, does she look like someone you know?"

"Yeah, sh..she does," I nodded.

An odd silence descended on the vast room. Then Richard's eyes widened like he'd just come to a realization.

"Oh, Fate," Raven's double cried out. "Rich, it could be Sophie."

Then she left her mate and rushed to come meet me. I was not afraid of her. But the urge to back away as she approached was so strong that it nearly won.

She even speedwalked like Raven. It was eerie. She was speaking too fast now while I thought about the fact that I didn't yet know the sound of Raven's voice. They probably sound the same, too.

Then I caught the words, "Twin. Identical."

"Yeah, identical indeed," I murmured. "Copies of each other!"

She seemed overly excited and anxious at the same time. Soon, Richard led us into another more private chamber.

****

Ten minutes later, the shock of meeting Raven's look-alike had passed.

I was now learning that they were twins, separated at some point due to circumstances in the pack.

Then came another unpleasant shock, which was delivered in the form of a few words:

Alpha. Lazarus. Children.

"What do you mean they're Lazarus' children?" My tone was sharper than I meant it to be.

I knew what Richard meant. I just wished he didn't say what I heard him say. Because that would mean that these girls were enemies of my family.

It would mean that Raven's father killed my mother! She didn't exactly die by his hands, but she might as well have.

Richard didn't bother repeating himself. He merely stared back at me with a hard expression. Raven's twin looked like she wanted to roll her eyes so bad but had to settle with pursing her lips instead.

"So Lazarus had twin daughters, and you're MATED to one of them?" My tone was accusatory.

"Yes!" Richard nodded proudly. There was not a hint of shame in his manner. "And the other one is in your custody. Tessa has been looking for her twin, Alpha Jett. That's why I sent guys into Louisiana."

As he spoke, memories from a few days ago flashed in my mind. Alpha Nick had called to confirm someone's paternal side. That person was indeed Lazarus' illegitimate child, and she was a twin. So Raven was the other twin?

"How did you meet Sophie?" Tessa asked me. "Did she return to the Night Storm? I mean, did she enter the pack? You'll take us to her, right? Oh, Richard, you were right. She stayed back because of me."

I ignored the girl's inquiries and was glad that her eyes were on her mate now. I hated the information I'd just learned and did not want her addressing me at all.

"I need you to take us to her," Richard said to me. "You said she's not within the pack at the moment. Where is she? Also, release Loki, c'mon. He meant no harm. He would never have touched her."

His mate could sense my coldness towards her. She silently accessed me as her eyes traveled from my head down to my toes. I resolved not to give her another look till I left the Forest Moon.

"I'll release your human. And I'll take you to Raven because you asked. We are kin, after all. But let me warn you." I rose from the couch. "As for the girl, Raven. Sophia, whatever... I won't be doing you anymore favors than letting you see her. She's a runaway! MY captive!"

"Alpha Jett-"

"Chief, please, tell your mate not to address me," I cut Tessa off. "If I'd gotten here one day earlier, I would've asked that she be handed TO ME. I can't do that now because she has taken your blood pledge and is a Mooner. Also, she's fated to you. But I have the other one. And I DO NOT intend to let her walk free!"

    Jett POVWhat gave Sabrina the right? This was unacceptable. All around was tense silence and suspense while I waited for her to provide an excuse for her action. "Were you about to make her wash these?" I asked again.Instead of speaking, she just stared at me with tightened lips and reddened cheek. Her eyes were alight with indignation as she began to speak,"They had to have sent her your clothes in error, so I had Denise gather the laundry..." she swallowed, blinking fast and looking away. I glanced at Raven and was once again distracted by how she held on the shirts I'd worn in the last few days. Clove had nagged me all night about that kiss. He'd insisted that it was essential for pack members saw me punish her for yesterday's mistake. I wasn't surprise that he'd taken my clothes to her. At least, he was not as thoughtless as the fiancée. "Kyle, you and Vera should escort Miss Nile to carry on with her day," I said, dismissing them.Raven avoided looking at me as she was led

    Sabrina Cliffe(Cont: The night before,)Maureen Atkins was the pretty brunette who ran the pack's restaurant for ranked wolves. Though a warrior by birth, she chose to use her skills and claws in the kitchen instead of the outdoors. Having the new Alpha eat at her restaurant was something she'd been looking forward to all day.So when the Beta called to cancel, it felt like her heart was being torn in two. Then he'd asked her to bring the meal to the mansion. Maureen was more than delighted as she and the servant set to work on serving the Alpha and Luna-to-be. To her great disappointment, she was not allowed to wait to see how Alpha Jett liked the meal."Enjoy the meal, Alpha," she called as the Beta urged her out of the dining. "And Miss Cliffe."Sabrina did not spare her a glance. It was Alpha Jett who murmured,"Yeah. Thanks."During the date, Sabrina did all she could to draw Jett's focus back to her. She did not mention what happened before the meal in all of the forced chitch

    Sophie POV "Are those his words?" I asked again when the Beta merely stared at me. He scoffed. "What does it matter?" It was my turn to just stare without an answer. It didn't matter if Jett sent him here to tell me to forget about the kiss. I should take the good advice and pretend it never happened. My focus should be on important things like waiting for Andy's help. When Clove left, I sat staring at Jett's clothes. The shirt he wore last night to his date was in the pile, too. It was the same shirt he had on when he held me against the wall and kissed me. I picked it up hesitantly, unconsciously smoothing the linen with my thumb. The urge to bury my face in it was so strong that I quickly threw it back down and stood up. Minutes later, I'd cleaned up and put on one of the clothes in the drawer. Then I sat waiting for the warriors to come open my door. Kyle appeared soon. He held the door open, and a maid walked in with a tray. My stomach growled at the smell of bacon and toa

    Sophie POVJett was behind me and the guards still. I wanted to tell him that his date was waiting, but I dreaded talking to him at the moment, so I waited as Vera punched in the codes and held the door open.I walked into the room without sparing a glance his way. Vera didn't close the door immediately. A part of me grew scared that he would come in. The other part desperately wanted him to come inside and tell me he was sorry for imprisoning me. For not believing that I was telling the truth about his friend. The latter was the foolish, childish, romantic part of me. Just because he kissed me didn't mean he would immediately have a change of heart.The door remained open for the longest time. I stood with my back to it, unsure what I wanted him to do."Alpha, Miss Cliffe is-""I'm coming!" He snapped at his Beta. My anger returned at the mention of his fiancée. I walked away, straight into the bathroom to shut myself in there. Minutes passed before I heard the door swing shut, thou

    Sophie POV I forgot all of my anger and frustration the moment Jett's lips touched mine. All thoughts of fighting him off vanished as his body pressed against mine. The hand that held me against the wall had moved and now had my chin imprisoned while he kissed me. His other hand now rested on my waist. His thumb lifted my blouse ever so slightly, brushing my bare flesh. I arched closer as he teased me with his skillful tongue, demanding access into my very soul. He gave a soft groan, his body pressing tighter against mine as the kiss deepened. I was lost in the feeling and needed more. My fist flattened on his chest and began to go round his neck to pull his closer. Then came the throat clearing. I jerked at the sound as his lips left mine. Only then did I recall that Andy and Vera were down the hallway and might've been our audience. Though it was the Beta who called, "Alpha." He'd just appeared from the same door through which we entered. I was dazed and unsure whether to stan

    Jett POVI left the mansion at six minutes before 7 PM and didn't plan to end up in my Chief Gamma's office. The thing was, Sabrina and I were supposed to go out for dinner, like Clove advised. We were to leave at 7. I was so sure she wouldn't be ready yet. Females took longer to dress up. Everyone knew that.I was ready. And Sophie was not back. So I came out of my chamber to check if she was on her way up. This check was necessary because it was past time for them to bring her back. But there was no sign of her or her warriors. I'd ordered the new head servant to leave all punishment to me. No one was to lay a finger on her for any reason, and especially not for this morning's incident. Punishing her was my sole right. No one else's. They wouldn't go against my order. Yet I'd been restless as hell.The idea of calling Vera or Kyle to ask why they weren't back was unappealing. Those two already suspected that I cared too much for the girl, and they were not alone. I shouldn't give
