16 - Lady In Red
~Missy’s Point of View~
I was standing in front of a huge fire. I looked all around and there were pups with marshmallows and hot dogs on sticks chasing each other. There were even a few puppies around, actual four legged ones. Hollow Hill rarely had any actual pets, since they tend to not like witches and can be easy food for vamps desperate for a quick snack.
“Welcome to my humble home,” Ryan said, coming up behind me.
He had a huge smile on his face and he was obviously proud. His happiness radiated through me.
“Also known as the uncivilized outhouse,” Nate said, laughing, and breaking the moment.
I raised my eyebrow, did they use outhouses her
SareeOhh!! Someone get some ice it's too hot! Nate is ready to burst!

Alpha Ridge 17 - Down Boy
~Nate’s Point of View~ Time had really gotten away from me, and before I knew it the day of the dance was here. Things at our new pack were really coming along, we had broken ground on the packhouse and a few other key buildings. Their framing was up. We’d hired Ridge and some other trusted packs to help. I think some of them were a bit nervous that once word got out, they might lose some of their people who’d be curious about us. Councilor Quinn had tried several times to interfere and send people he knew to get in on the construction but we weren’t having it and I was sure that would bite us in the ass later on. This was our pack and yeah we were taking their money … but we had to live here. It was our names and our reputations at stake. It needed to be right. I hadn
Alpha Ridge 18 - The Dance
~Missy’s Point of View~ The anticipation for this night almost killed me, and once I saw myself completely ready, I absolutely thought I was dreaming. I obviously wouldn’t tell anyone, especially my mates but I had been eating only protein and veggies lately. I’d been exercising in my room at night. I found I didn’t even mind it and it actually helped me sleep better since I was so exhausted. I used water jugs as weights and did cardio. I’d gotten down seven pounds in less than two weeks and I’d actually never felt better. Who knew there was some truth to the whole “you are what you eat” nonsense. Well tomorrow I’d be having a cheat day, that much I knew. I already planned on pancakes and cookies. I’d probably gain it all back but oh well. I was so proud of mysel
Alpha Ridge 19 - Testing
~Ryan’s Point of View~ If that little bitch thinks she can mess with MY mate, she’s got another thing coming. I know she’s a female and a pup, but she’s gonna get hers. One way or another! I could sense the fury radiating off Nate, and I knew we needed to blow the hell outta here soon. What we had planned next was too important. Also if my wolf had to look at that little bitch anymore he was going to force himself forward and rip her face off. And I wasn’t going to stop him. If this was Long Tooth I’d embarrass the shit outta her, but then again at my pack it never would have gotten this far. Gone on for this long. I really had the feeling there was more Missy wasn’t telling us and I hated that. We had to get her there, and we would. There was still a bit of trust left
Alpha Ridge 20 - The Beach
~Missy’s Point of View~ I nearly stopped and pinched myself but I didn’t want to wake if it was all a dream. My mates were beyond everything I could have ever imagined and they showed me … they didn’t just give me empty promises. After the paint incident at the dance, the ultimate slap in the face would have been being stuck there and having to watch Celia be crowned Luna. I was certain it happened, but I damn sure didn’t want to see it. Now instead? I was on a beach, swimming in the ocean with my two Alphas, my two soulmates. Well, mostly kissing but there was a bit of swimming. “So tell me how things are going at the new pack,” I asked, as we lazed around, eating bits of the picnic.
Alpha Ridge 21 - Interested
Three Months Later ~Missy’s Point of View~ Time is a funny thing, when you want it to go by fast, it doesn’t. And vice versa. I knew I wanted time to speed up, but in some aspects my mates needed more time. So far they only had fourteen people interested in the pack with ten fully committed, not counting us or Nate’s mom obviously. Only three males so far had actually moved in. Clearly that was a disappointing number. I had yet to go actually see the pack lands, or anything they were doing outside of pictures they showed me. They just kept saying they didn’t yet have enough done. Didn’t they know I didn’t care? I would be proud of a birdhouse they had made as long as they did it with pride and di
Alpha Ridge 22 - Find Them
~Nate’s Point of View~ Ryan and I were truly burning the candle at both ends. We were both just fucking exhausted all the time. On top of everything, the council and the governor were starting to request weekly meetings to update them on the progress. The council asked the hard questions, the Governor? Didn’t seem to give a shit honestly. Needless to say, everytime we had to go back to the council mansion it was terrifying. I dreaded it more and more. “When will you have your first people moving in,” Godfrey asked. “Well Nate and I are pretty much living there now. Our Luna is getting training and we’re working on a charter,” Ryan said. “Exp
Alpha Ridge 23 - What Is It?
~Missy’s Point of View~ “No! No no no, why would you put that there! Come on! Think about it,” I scolded, as I began shoving furniture around. I was trying to help set up the pack daycare, which was extremely important. We had to get this right, it had to be a safe and perfect space. Pups are a pack’s most valuable resource, they are the future! This has to be a warm and inviting place or people won’t want to leave their babies in our care. The three males gaped at me, but just nodded and did as I directed. I could get used to this!! People who listened to me? Didn’t laugh at me? Looked at me as a person of authority? “There, now we’re getting somewhere. Okay what colors are we painting these walls? We
Alpha Ridge 24 - Come For Me
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “... like a lot.” I felt absolutely sick, and actually I had already thrown up twice today. If anyone at Long tooth found out about this I’d absolutely be a laughing stock, everyone would question my masculinity. While of course we had same sex couples at the pack, there weren’t many. But I had always prided myself on being a ladies’ man and being able to get any female I wanted. Nate seemed equally shocked and disgusted, and unsure where to direct his anger. I just had too many feelings over it all, and I never usually had unsettled feelings. When I kiss Missy everything is just so amazing, my body feels at peace. When I kissed him, I felt the same, because I THOUGHT in that moment it was her. We punched each other right after it happened
