Chapter 37
HILDA POV
I watch the small flame dance in between my fingers for as long as possible before flicking the match towards Kraven's deceased form. Tears stream down my face as the fire begins to grow. The last time I stood alone during a challenge burn, my mate was the body on top of the woodpile."I'm sorry, baby brother. I'm sorry for being a weak little girl who couldn't stand up to her daddy. I'm sorry for pushing you away when I was angry. I'm sorry for not defending you when our brother put you down. But those are the only things I am sorry for. Your death was your own brother. Your crimes were your own. Silver Tail will prosper without you, and for that......I celebrate your death......Rest easy, baby brother," I whisper as I turn away from the large blaze.I wipe my tears and push the grief down deep. I need to focus. I need to set a plan in motion before the Return to the Pack ceremony begins. The King has betrayed his people. Eliminated thousands! I

VANESSA POVA breath I didn't know I was holding expells from my mouth as soon as Gunnar announces Hilda. I had no idea if he would go along with my thoughts, but he did. He did, and I couldn't be more proud. I know being Alpha is important to him, but the Alpha position wasnever his. It was meant for Hilda.His face says it all. He is content. I turn my attention to Hilda as she clears her throat, and I smile. She looks shocked, shocked but happy. The entire hall is clapping and howling for Hilda, and glee is literally bubbling inside of me. The air inside the hall is humming with the pack's happiness. To know that I had something to do with these feelings feels fantastic. This is how it should have always been.This is how Silver Tail was meant to be. The sins of Gunnar's father are being washed away, and I know our pack will prosper because Hilda is a true Alpha. A great Alpha. While Gunnar was improving at the position, he would have never been a natur

GUNNAR POVI knock on my old office door, and Hilda growls from the other side. I laugh as I push open the door. This is going to be a fun new relationship."I didn't want to disturb you, Alpha," I state with a grin, and my sister shoots me a glare."Is there a reason why you are disturbing me while I am trying to catch up on YOUR old paperwork," Hilda asks while rolling her eyes?"Well, Alpha Malcolm and Alpha Arne just crossed the border. They will be at the packhouse soon. Where do you want to hold the meeting," I ask while avoiding her statement about paperwork?I definitely won't miss that part of being Alpha. To be honest, I won't miss any parts of being Alpha, sitting in an office, worrying about each pack member—planning or budgeting events. I was terrible at it all. Now I get to deliver information, and all the final decisions rest on Hilda's shoulders. Not to mention all the free time I can spend with Vanessa."Here in the office.

VANESSA POVI smile as Gunnar answers my question through our mindlink. He knows me too well."Earth to Ness. Where didyou just go," Rosy demands and I instantly feel guilty."Rosalind I need to tell you something. Something that is going to annoy you," I explain while grimacing.Rosy's eyebrows raise. She knows when I use her full name what I am about to say is serious. I clear my throat and fold my hands."I was just mindlinking Gunnar..... Apparently it is a direct mental link that only true mates have.......you and Jaxon have it too. The last Alpha didn't teach low ranking members about the link. Why I don't know.....That's why the other night Gunnar ordered for there to be a school built. He wants everyone to be properly educated because he realized what a problem you .....," I say and Rosy jumps to her feet.I cringe in preparation."I COULD HAVE ALERTED JAX. LARS COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN DANGER.

GUNNAR POVMy phone buzzes, and I silence it immediately before it can wake Vanessa up. I don't need to read the message to know theother Alphas have arrived, and it is time to get the weaker wolves into the safe room.All I want is two more minutes with the naked Goddess in my arms. Her news about her friend alarmed me last night. It stirred up feelings I have never had before. And now it is all I can think about. It is all I want. Pups with my mate. Dark-haired, green-eyed pups, running all around.A small growl of happiness escapes from my chest at the image of our future pups, and Vanessa shifts in my arms. Her eyelids flutter open slowly, revealing the most beautiful green I have ever seen."Morning, Love," I say before dropping a kiss on my mate's swollen lips.She groans and stretches before becoming her bubbly morning self. Her naked form exits our bed, and my arms feel cold instantly. She shoots me a smile, and I try to return it. Bu

VANESSA POV"Okay, I have a deck of cards,three books, monopoly, and Life," I say, spreading out my games so the others can see them."I brought battleship and two books," Rosy says, adding her games to mine.A couple of the other Omegas also pull out decks of cards for everyone to play with.The medium-sized room is packed with slim but tall bodies. There are at least thirty female Omegas and about fifteen male Omegas. And while the room is a little stuffy, everyone seems to be in a good mood. I smile as I turn my attention back to Rosy."Ready to be defeated in battleship," I taunt while wagging my eyebrows at her.Rosy rolls her eyes and scoffs. Jaxon just smiles at our interaction. He kisses Rosy's forehead before sliding through the compacted bodies to reach another male."Bring it, Ness," she says, with a playful growl, and we sit down Indian style in the back of the crowded room."So have you thought of any names,"

How are youfeeling,""I'm fine, Gunnar. She won't be here for another month. How is Hilda,""Pissed. She hates all the males who have signed up to compete so far,""That doesn't sound good,""If she keeps me from coming home for much longer, I am going to challenge for the Alpha position. I will be King of werewolves and Alpha of Silver Tail before I miss the birth of our first pup,""Calm down. Why does she hate them,""Because they are all second-born Alphas. They are only competing so they can be an Alpha. They don't care who they mate. Hilda wants love,""Tell her to open the competition up to everyone. Maybe she will meet someone genuine,""Yeah, but he still has to win,""I don't understand. Why doesn't she jus

CROW'S POV "I'm not interested," I growl as Ronan makes his speech about how we should compete for Silvertail's Alpha title....again. "Look, I get it, Crow. You had your mate. You met her at 18, and your life was perfect. But that ideal life ended.....I know that it is hard, but we need your help. I'm 25. Gage is 27. We need to find a mate or win a mate. If you compete with us, you can knock out some of the competition for us. You don't have to win her. Help one of us win her," Ronan pleads as Gage stands with his arms crossed. I drop my 110lb dumbbells and grab my blue sweat towel. I think over my brother's words while looking around our tiny flat. Pictures of mom and us decorate the entire space. I close my eyes as I wipe off my neck. I picture my mother and my mate's faces...they would want me to help my brothers. They both would probably tell me it is time for me to move on also
