Chapter 39
GUNNAR POV
I 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.Related chapters

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.
Conflicted Chapter 41
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,"
Conflicted Epilogue
VANESSA POV"Max, be careful," I call after my two-year-old nephew as my phone rings.I pick up the phone quickly after seeing the caller ID."Hello, Love,""That's my line. 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
Conflicted Hilda's Second Chance
HILDA POVI growl as I rub my temples. Irritation at my circumstances is causing me to have a headache. Not only do I have to deal with twenty spoiled second-born Alphas who feel like they are owed the world, but I have to also deal with my little brother. He won't stop whining, and while the change in his personality is endearing, I can not take it.He is constantly barging into my office demanding that I get my mate competition underway so he can run back home to be with a very pregnant Vanessa. He doesn't understand why I am putting it off. He doesn't understand that when I look at these males, I feel nothing but repulsion.My phone rings, and I pick it up with my eyes closed."Hilda speaking""Well, hello, sister-in-law.""Vanessa, if you are calling me to hound me about the competition as well...I will kick your ass pregnant or not.""Geez.
Conflicted Chapter 2 Hilda
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
Conflicted Chapter 3 Hilda
HILDA POV Dark, handsome, smart...Crow is an admirable male. His body is in prime condition and looks as if he exercises regularly. A small smile tugs at my mouth as I scrub my scentless soup into my hair. I could see myself with a mate like Crow. A male who has loved. A man who has lost everything but kept going. I step out of my shower and dry off quickly. I don't have much of a morning routine. I'm not like other she-wolves, never have been. I like to get clean, get dressed, and be done. I don't prep and preen my face for male satisfaction. I get my old but clean undergarments on before throwing on some sweats with a matching worn-out tank top. Perfect. My phone chimes, and I open the message before pulling on my socks."Two new arrivals Alpha." I finish getting dressed before responding. "I will
Conflicted Chapter 4 Hilda
CROW POVI hang my head and let the water cascade down my dirty body. I watch the dirt collect and move through the water by my feet-little specks, insignificant but irritating.....like our lives.I want to growl and argue with the new feelings brewing within me, but that would mean I acknowledge them. I don't know why I couldn't stop staring at Hilda today. My thoughts hadn't been anything but neutral and curious, but I never give females attention. Maybe my interest was stemming from our conversation last night. She impressed me.I shut off the water and step out. I hear the bedroom door bang open outside of the restroom, and my instincts kick in. I snatch the towel I had folded and waiting from the counter. I barely get it around my waist before I open the restroom door."Gage? What the hell? What's wrong," I ask as my eyes assess his pacing form.He seems unharmed, but some
