Chapter Sixteen
Tatiana's POV
Tia returned to the house the following morning after searching for Luca all night. No one was awake yet. She popped her head into Luca's room, but he wasn't there. She tiptoed to her room and flopped on the bed. There was a light rap on the door. Tia looked up to see Gaby standing in the open doorway of her adjoining room. Tia motioned for Gaby to join her.
"Good morning! This place is beautiful, and I have never slept in such a comfortable bed in my life."
"I am glad you slept well. You needed it."
"Yes, I did. I appreciate what you have done for me, and I apologize for yesterday."
Before Tia could protest, she held up her hand and continued, "I don't want you to think I am ungrateful because nothing could be further from the truth. However, I need to go back to the Village. If I stay here, I will be hiding. I don't want to hide. I want to face this and get through it."
Tia nodded, "Okay. I understand. However, I want you to

Tatiana's POV When Tatiana pulled up in front of the packhouse, Luca was outside to meet her. She was relieved to see him standing there. He looked vibrant and healthy. She jumped out of the car and ran into his arms, "Don't you ever do that to me again!" Luca wrapped his arms around her holding her tight against his body, "I am sorry." She angrily pushed away from him, "Sorry for what? Running off without a word, or not telling me the full story?" "What full story?" "Oh, I don't know, maybe the part about when you use your empathic and healing abilities it slowly drives you insane!" He looked startled, "Who told you?" "Does it matter? The point is that I know." "It is true that in the end, Zeta's do lose their minds, after a few centuries of using their abilities. It is not the most glamourous end, but it is hardly unique. I am sorry you had to find out this way." He stepped towards her and pulled her i

Luca's POVThe Alpha and Luna had gone to bed, so Luca finished up the last of his paperwork and call it a night. He quietly crept upstairs and stopped in front of Tatiana's door. Her light was on, so he knocked. She opened the door, surprised to find him standing there. Tia took his hand and led him inside. Before he could speak, she pulled him to her and crushed her lips against his. He responded hungrily as his hands slid under her nightgown and pulled down her panties. Tia's lips trailed down his neck. Her teeth grazed the skin on his neck where his mark was, sending shivers up his spine. She pushed him back onto the bed and pulled her nightgown off over her head. Her eyes stared deeply into his as they flickered between blue and violet. The backlight made her body appear to glow. She kneeled in front of him and started to unbuckle his pants. As he looked down at her, Lux strained against him. A guttural groan reverberated from him. Her tongue softly lapped at the head of

Luca's POVLuca stood in the shower, holding Tatiana, "You know I am empathic. The closer I get to people, the more emotions get involved. It is easier to keep my distance, so I can perform better at my job.""Isn't it lonely?""Sometimes it can be, but I have you and the Alpha and Luna. Having more friends does not guarantee you will no longer be lonely."She kissed his forehead and his soft, warm lips, "Fine, then my mission is to get you away from work as much as possible."He laughed and flashed her a sexy smile, "Good luck with that," as he squirted shampoo into his hand and started massaging into her hair.She turned her back to him and let him work his magic, "You know I can wash my own hair.""I know you can, but I want to do it for you."She sighed, "This is dangerous. I can get used to being spoiled by you.""I can get used to spoiling you."Duncan's POVDuncan and Sadie finished up a run through

Duncan's POVAs they arrived at Sea-Tac Airport, Duncan was glad to be home. He had been away longer than expected. Sadie was quieter than usual. He gave her hand a quick squeeze, and she smiled up at him. Luca was picking them up from the airport. So they headed to baggage claim."Are you nervous?""Yes, but in a good way. I am looking forward to this new life.""You know you can always fly back home for a couple of days if you are feeling home sick?""I know. I love you for that," Sadie said as she stood on her tippy toes and kissed him."Hey, get a room you two," a familiar voice said behind him.Sadie squealed and ran to Tatiana. She winked at Duncan."I thought Luca was coming.""Yes he is here," she motioned toward the baggage carousel. Luca stood there patiently waiting for it to shudder awake.Duncan gave Tia a big hug, lifting her off the ground, "It is good to see you are still in one piece."She

Tatiana's POV Since Luca and Tatiana reached a tentative truce, he drove her to train at the Village. Gaby asked at the last session if another young she-wolf named Zoe could join training sessions. Her mother was worried about keeping her safe. Tia was happy to train her. She was a sweet girl and was eager to learn. She had a zeal for self-defense that Tia admired. When Tia arrived promptly at 2 pm, both Gaby and Zoe were ready to learn. Neither of them shied away from combat either. Zoe broke Gaby's left hand, but she kept fighting. Zoe tore a tendon in her knee that required her to stay off of it for twenty-four hours. Tia did not realize the extent of the injury until Gaby had to take a moment to rebreak the bone so it would heal properly. Despite the injuries, both wolves were progressing beyond what Tia had imagined. Gaby especially was a natural. Today they wanted to discuss the attack on Mora. Tatiana asked if they had seen or heard anything strange l

Sadie's POV Tatiana took Sadie on a whirlwind tour of pack territory. Sadie needed some girl time with Tia. They ended the evening having cocktails on the main street at Tia's favorite Italian restaurant. Duncan met them there for dinner. When he arrived, they were both tipsy. "What have you done to my mate, Tia?" Duncan scolded when he smelled the alcohol. Tia shrugged and giggled, "I gave her a proper tour of the Kalaloch property, and then we discovered together how good the Mojitos are here." Duncan shook his head, "Well, at least you both stayed within the pack boundary." "Another round of Mojito's," Sadie called out to the waiter. "Don't you think you should eat something first?" Duncan frowned. Sadie scowled back at him, "Aren't you a party pooper!" The waiter returned quickly with another round of Mojitos and took their food order. Sadie nuzzled up to Duncan, "Are you upset with me?" "No, you are allowed

Tatiana's POVWhen Tatiana and Luca woke again, a couple of hours had passed. She felt slightly better, but she did not want to get out of bed. Today was Duncan's ascension ceremony, and she did not feel ready for it. Tia snuggled against Luca's body. He was warm, and he felt sublime. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "How are you feeling?""I feel better than earlier, but not great. How about you? You were out late.""I was on patrol. We go some rain last night, so it felt nice to come back to a warm bed with you in it."She turned around in his arms and looked into his eyes, "Is our relationship significantly different from what you had with your mate?"He thought for a moment, "Yes, every relationship is different. What specifically are you curious about?""It was just something Duncan said. He figures if we were fated to be mates by the Moon Goddess, we would never let each other out of sight."Luca laughed,

Tatiana's POV Everyone had been working hard all day, and it all came together perfectly. The Omegas were completing the finishing touches while everyone else was getting ready for the ceremony. Tatiana stayed back to help before heading in to shower and get dressed. As she entered, she found Luca sitting in the lounge talking with Duncan's Grandfather, Augustus. All the pack Elders returned for the ceremony. Most Elders stayed with family members or at the packhouse. Tia met Augustus earlier when he and their Grandmother Elspeth arrived. He was a very stately gentleman, and Elspeth was beautiful with her long flowing gray hair and striking green eyes. Duncan got his eyes from his Grandmother. They were both warm and friendly, and Tatiana liked them right away. It struck her as strange as she watched them speak that they looked the same age at one time. Since then, Augustus had aged, but Luca barely changed at all. Zeta's aged much slower than the average Werewolf. I
