“Thank you for coming on such short notice, Malachi,” Joseph said as they shook hands.

“How did this happen and why is Bryan locked up?” he asked.

“I don’t know much more than you. It’s standard procedure for the Zeta to await questioning when things like this happen. He was shot outside his house with a rifle,” Joseph said.

“An assassination?” Joseph nodded his head in affirmation.

“Believe me when I say, we’ll put all our resources behind this investigation,” he said.

“I want to see Bryan now!” Malachi said angrily. Quintin led Malachi to an empty office and left him there. Half an hour later, Quintin opened the door and led Bryan inside. He was handcuffed and Malachi looked at the two Zetas escorting him.

“Take those cuffs off him!” Malachi ordered. Zetas had different ranks within the Council depending on whose Zeta they were and both Quintin and Bryan held higher ranks than the two Zetas in front of Malachi.

“You can leave us,” Malachi said to the two Zetas.

    The Helm of Awe covered my left shoulder and on my right was Valknut. Yggdrasil was in the middle and flowing from the roots of the tree was a wolf head. On either side of the wolf was a Jericho 9mm, Kiran’s personal touch to my Zeta mark. From the bottom of the roots, down my spine, was a ghost rune designed by Malachi with my name Jericho adorning the top of Yggdrasil.An hour and a half later Marcus was finished and I put my shirt back on. Tonight I would have to undress with every member of the pack present and shift for the first time in my life.Back at the house, I went to lie down since Charlotte hadn’t returned from her shopping trip yet. The tattoo on my back was tender and I lay on my side. Tonight would be a long night with the official ceremony and then the shifting. It would be an all-night affair.I woke up when Charlotte lay down next to me and put her arm around me. I took her hand in mine and pulled her closer.“Did you have fun?” I asked her with my eyes still close

    “Are you ready for tonight?” Kiran asked me.It was a full moon and I would be introduced to the pack tonight. I’d kept a low profile for the past two weeks, kept myself busy scouring the forest and the surrounding mountain, surveying the area and I only went out when it was necessary.“Yeah, thanks to all the shit you put in my head, I know exactly what’s waiting for me,” I said and he laughed.“It’s not that bad,” Kiran said.I gave Kiran a pointed look. “I heard you scream like a little girl, twice.”Malachi chuckled. “You’ll be fine.”“So, this fight night thing–”“I’m beginning to think that you’re a born Alpha Zeta,” Malachi said. I’d watched them train a few times, but they refused to let me partake until my first shift. I had to admit I was excited to experience it all. Malachi was sure that I’d exhibit some sort of power because of my bloodline and that had me intrigued.“Give me a gun and I’m happy,” I said.“Never thought I’d see the day that we start sporting guns,” Kiran

    “We need to talk,” I said to Charlotte as I stood up from the dining table and took her hand. She followed me back upstairs and I sat down on the bed. She closed the door behind her and sat down next to me. She knew exactly what was going through my mind.“Why do you need to do anything?” she asked me.“Because he came after me. If Kiran wasn’t there, you’d be planning my funeral,” I said angrily.“And now everyone thinks you’re dead,” she said softly.I rubbed my hands over my face. “Charlotte, is this even what you want? You can go back, carry on with your life.”“Do you want me to leave?” The hurt in her voice was evident, but I knew that the pregnancy hormones also played a role.“No, but this isn’t what you signed up for,” I said. “I would understand if you wanted to go back to your old life.”“Everything’s different now. We’re both different. You have a family that’s different and we’re going to have a child who will be different,” she said.I sighed and lowered my head. “I just

    My thoughts wandered and I caught Malachi looking at me again. “It’s Friday.”“That makes no sense. From Epworth to Seward is approximately three thousand five hundred and thirty-two miles. Depending on Kiran’s speed…” My voice faltered as they all looked at me.“Kiran drove an average of a hundred and twenty miles,” Malachi said and I did the calculation in my head.“You’d have to stop for gas, so a quick estimation would be twenty-nine to thirty-three hours,” I said.“I stopped a few times, but yeah, you’re not far off, almost thirty-four hours,” Kiran said with a smile.“I need a phone.” I looked at Kiran. He was ultimately the one in charge here. The Alpha wolf.“Everyone thinks you’re dead,” Kiran said. The emotion in his eyes was fleeting but it was there. He picked up the tablet next to his plate and slid it over the table toward me. I caught it and looked at the newspaper article online about my death.‘Local man and woman dead in Epworth’...‘Blake Cannon’...‘Charlotte McAllis

    I woke up to brilliant sunlight flooding into the room and it felt like deja vu all over again. I had woken up like this in Bo’s house. This time though there were no beeping machines and I touched my chest and abdomen. There was nothing there, no bandages, no bullet wounds. It was as if I had never gotten shot.The man from the car, Kiran Sinclair, my brain assessed and reminded me. He was half lying on a chair with his feet on the bottom of the bed. His eyes were closed and I looked around the room. I turned my head back to him and his eyes were open. I sat upright in the bed. I knew everything about him, it was his memories that had flashed through my mind as we drove.“Morning,” he said to me as he sat up straight in the chair.“Where am I?” I asked him.“I brought you home. We’re in Seward,” he said to me. Alaska. Alaska? For an average driver it would be a sixty-hour drive here. That’s five days. Charlotte must be out of her mind. “I brought you home.” Home. Charlotte. That was

    Malachi arrived home mid-afternoon while Jessica was still at work and he sent her a text that he was home. Half an hour later Jessica pulled into the garage and jumped in his arms where he waited for her in the living room.“Did you miss me?” Malachi asked her when she finally stopped kissing him.“A little bit,” she said and hugged him again.“Do you want to know everything that happened or just the weird parts?”“Dude, obviously I want to know everything!” They sat side-by-side on the couch and Malachi started at the beginning and told her about Bryan, the meeting with the other Alphas, the ceremony and finally the things that happened after the ceremony.“Like strippers?” Jessica asked and Malachi chuckled.“More like prostitutes. Some were half-naked, some were naked and they were just everywhere,” Malachi said.“And where were you?” she asked him and narrowed her eyes.“Outside with Bryan and Quintin.”“Uh huh,” she said and Malachi laughed.“Would I have told you about them oth
