Kate POV
Waking up this morning alone was disappointing, but I appreciated Drake’s discretion. Stretching in bed, I had a delicious ache between my legs. Feeling myself go red, I smiled at what we had done last night. I had no regrets and was looking forward to when we could do it again.
Looking at the clock, I cringe. It’s almost time for my meeting with my father. I am expected to give him my decision as to whether I will be the negotiator or not. He already knows my decision; I never turn back from a challenge, and this would definitely be a challenge. And I like to win. A win of this magnitude would solidify my role as Alpha for the Pack.
Getting up and grabbing a quick shower, I pull on a pair of bootcut je

Kate POV As I left my father’s office, I was no further ahead. He had no insight into the names we had come up. He either doesn’t remember or doesn’t want to remember. I’ve no idea what the answer to that question is, but I am getting increasingly frustrated at his secrecy. Looking at the time, I realize it’s the end of the day and I’ve got plans with Lily for tonight. We are doing a girl’s night – movies, snacks and dishing about all that ails us … or doesn’t, I think laughing to myself. I still was undecided as to whether I would share anything about Drake yet. I’m not sure what we were, so didn’t want to share anything just yet. As I got changed into leggings and a tank top, I heard a knock at my door. Running o
Kate POV Groaning, I awaken to another punch to the abdomen, then another slap across the face. This is the fourth time I have been woken from pain induced exhaustion. I was trying to remember what had happened the night before. I knew there had been a rogue attack and I had been going out to negotiate with the Alpha Rogue but before I got there, someone attacked me from the side. Before I could even respond to the attack, I felt something sharp stab my neck and before I could mink-link to anyone I was in intense pain. I knew they had injected wolfsbane in my system, but I realized it must have had an accelerant because it wouldn’t usually be that debilitating so quickly. Now I found myself in silver hand cuffs attached to a wall in a
Drake POV (three days prior) Running into the Pack house and down to the conference room, I go through the open door to see the top warriors, Beta Gregory, Beta Reid, Gamma John, and my eyes finally landing on Alpha Jackson. Stomping over to him, I can see Beta Gregory starting to stand to try and get in front of Alpha Jackson. He doesn’t make it before I deliver a couple solid punches to Jackson’s face. Beta Gregory then grabs me from behind as Alpha Jackson makes a move to punch me; however, Reid is there stepping in between us and pushing Alpha Jackson back away from me. Taking my arm and pulling me over to sit by John and him, I pull my arm out of his hand and breathing heavily, walk over to take my chair. “What the hell did you do Jackson? What the hell happened to the plan?” I y
Kate POV They had left me alone for the night. No guards were torturing me or even came into the cell. What I assume would be the equivalent of an Omega, came in with some food, water, and cautiously unhooked me from the silver chains and handcuffed me to the bed that was in the room. I tried to engage with her, but she didn’t have much to say. Or was likely not permitted to say much. I asked her name, which she didn’t reply. I asked where we were, which she didn’t reply. The only thing I did get from her was that she was sorry she couldn’t help me. I was discouraged but had to come up with something to help myself. I was pushing Shelby to help with the healing but was hearing minimal fro
Kate POV As I run through all the scenarios in my mind, remembering all the training that I had been through over the years, I tried to consider every situation that might present itself. I was likely going to drive myself crazy, but I would only have one chance. I knew if I won, I wouldn’t be permitted to leave. So, my only option was to kill Caleb when the opportunity presented itself. I wasn’t naïve; this wasn’t going to be an easy fight. It would be a fight to the bitter end. Caleb wasn’t going to go easy on me either. But I had trained for this, and I was as ready as I could be for the challenge. Shelby had been resting all day as well and was ready to fight our way out of this mess. I coul
Kate POVShelby lay on her side as we assess the damage. A couple broken ribs, a broken ankle that was almost healed, cuts to her abdomen, missing flesh that was starting to close on her body, the worst was on her shoulder. Shelby was breathing heavily from the exertion and the pain. I was offering soothing words, but her body needed to heal. She was afraid to shift back to our human form, fearing she wouldn’t be able to shift back to wolf form until we were healed.Feeling the rogues starting to mobilize around her, she kept in her position to give herself as much time as possible before trying to fight her way out again. Baby steps, one fight at a time, we reminded ourselves. The reality was, with our injuries and no time for a reprieve, there is limited chance we can fight another rogue as intensely as we just did. What we need right now is a miracle. Trying to mind-link again, I try reaching out to my Pack. I waited and waited but there was no respo
Kate POV I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a warm arm around my waist. I was snuggled into a muscled chest as I moved back a bit more to absorb the warmth from the body. Since getting out of the hospital a couple days ago, Drake had been at his own Pack house conducting Pack business that had been neglected over the past few weeks. His help had been appreciated, but as my father had promised, when the rogue business had been settled, he would be invited to leave. He had come back last evening, as we are all meeting today to discuss what had happened during my time being held captive. I had struggled the past couple days trying to decide what I would do or say, as my father’s involvement was evident. In some way, shape or form my father played a role in what had happened to Caleb Sweeting and his f
Kate POV Sitting across from my father in his office, we have been staring at one another for a few minutes. I had taken the time I needed to compose myself. I was hurt that he had decided to take such a risk with the Pack. I couldn’t dwell on it, I had other things we needed to discuss. “Kate, I want to say again I am sorry. Sorry for my bad judgement, sorry for not going to meet the rogue myself, so many things. I feel like I failed you, Kate, and I will forever regret that,” Alpha Jackson says. Pausing as my father finished, I looked at him with disappointment in my eyes. “You did hurt me when you let Gregory do as he wished when my life was at risk. But more importantly you both put this P
