NathanI watched Megan walk down towards the stage and my breath caught in my throat. She looked radiant in a royal blue off-one-shoulder evening gown. I still have a tough time believing this woman is my mate. She is everything I have ever desired in a mate. I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I reach my hand out to help her up the last two steps to me.Once on the stage, I announced in a clear voice, “We are here to celebrate my finding after all these years, my fated mate and Luna. Megan McQueen soon to be Megan Williams, my wife.” She smiles at me as I kiss her hand before taking the dagger and pacing her hand over the silver bowl. I slice her hand then sliced mine and join our hands as our blood joins and drips into the bowl.I feel the power surge flow from me to Megan as we both lift the bowl first to my mouth for a taste than to hers. I can tell exactly when the link to the pack opened to her thoughts as her eyes widen.‘You are the Luna of the Blue Lake pack now.’ I say i
Megan (POV)I am in our room watching our son play with his blocks on the floor as I sew one of his favorite stuffed toys that had a little hole in it. I am smiling as he laughs in his play. I hear the door and my mate walks in.“Hey, little guy.” He says as he bends down and picks up our son and lifts him high and flies him around like an airplane. Making our son laugh hard. I laugh along with them and feel happy. I have my son and watching his father play with him warms my heart.He kisses our son’s cheek and puts him down to finish playing with his blocks. He then walks over to me and kisses me on the lips as I put the sewing down. “And how is my beautiful mate today?” He asks me.“I am doing well and quite happy.”He smiles at me. “I am happy too. You and our son are my life, and I will do everything I can to protect you both.”“I know you will. Let’s hope it will never come to that,” I say touching his cheek lovingly.Just then a knock sounds on the door and my mate gets up to an
Nathan (POV)So now we know who is behind all this. The question is how did he get rogues to work with him?After what Megan had told me I called for a meeting with my Beta and Gamma.“And this Kevin is behind all this?” Asked my Beta Jonathan. After I told him what Megan told me.“It has to be. Who else would want my mate?”He nods his head in agreement. As I continued, “But the question we need to figure out is, how is he getting rogues to cooperate with him?”“I can look into that for you,” Gary my Gamma suggests to me.Gary is a great tracker and has warriors under him who are skilled in finding things out. And I know he is devoted and quite loyal to me and is protective of his Luna.I nod, “Okay, just remember we are on a time crunch before they fall through with their threat.”“Over my dead body, Nate. No one will ever get our Luna. We have waited a long time for you to find her. We will all protect her with our lives.” Gary says standing from his chair.Before he leaves the roo
Megan (POV)When the secret wall opened, and I saw Nathan running in giving an all-clear he spotted me and ran to me as I ran into his arms. I was so scared that I would lose him like I did Jason. I wouldn’t survive losing another mate.Nathan kisses me then kisses my forehead before saying, “The other Alphas are leaving us with four hundred and fifty of their strongest warriors, so along with ours we will not be caught off guard.”I breathed a sigh and nodded, “I am glad they came to help. I will forever be grateful.” My arms hugged him tightly, “And I am so glad you are ok. I don’t know how I would survive if anything ever happened to you.”His arms tightened, “Nothing will happen, my love. We have good friends and allies and now extra strong warriors.”“Still if any…”He cut me off, “I promise you nothing will happen to me.” As an afterthought, he added, “Or you.” He leans and kisses me sweetly as we hold each other.We stood there for a while just holding each other as we heard pe
Nathan (POV)I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now. I am going to be a father. Our family will be complete. After the doctor left, I placed my hand on my mate’s stomach and smiled at her as I leaned down and kissed her forehead.“Our pup,” I whispered in her ear. I was ecstatic. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face.I looked deeply into the eyes of Megan and that is when I saw it. Concern, dread, fear. I frowned as I asked, “Are you not happy, Love?”“You have to remember what all I have already been through,” She spoke in a tight voice.“It won’t repeat,” I say as I realize her big concern. “I promise you. It will not happen again. All three of us will be ok.”“I just can’t live with the thought of losing another mate and a child. I just can’t.” She broke down and sobbed, as I took her in my arms and held her.‘Goddess, I promise with my life there will be no repeat of what happened.’ I vowed to myself in my head. She has been through enough. I won’t let anything happen to m
Megan I lay on the floor the body of my year-old son next to me. I am losing blood I can feel it draining out of me. I am welcoming death to come. Then I can be with my mate and son. Tears slowly fall as I look at my son. I can’t move. I don’t know where the body of my mate is, but I know he is dead. I felt the bond painfully break the moment they killed him. I tried to hide with my son only for them to sniff me out and find me. They grabbed my son Gabriel from my arms and in front of me broke his little neck, killing him instantly. I heard a woman’s scream and knew it was me. I couldn’t stop the screaming and knelt next to my son’s body and sobbed. In my grief, I didn’t hear the footsteps behind me until I felt the rogue's teeth clamp onto my left shoulder piercing the artery on my neck and making me lose a lot of blood. I collapsed on the floor unconscious. I don’t know how long I was out but when I opened my eyes next, I was next to my son’s body. I only had strength enough to r
Nathan “Over here.” I heard my beta yell as I look around at the carnage of what used to be the Running River pact. We received a distress call from them and came as quick as we could only to be too late. I step over bodies and walk towards the room my beta Jonathan called me from and saw him kneeling next to a woman. “Nate, she is still breathing but barely.” I walk over and the scene before me is heartbreaking. The woman is holding the hand of a small pup. Looking at the woman she is pale and has lost a lot of blood. I rip my shirt and wrap it around her wounded neck to slow the bleeding. “We need to get her to the packhouse quickly.” I carefully lift her in my arms not caring that blood was getting all over me. My main concern was to keep her alive. It is the least I can do for not arriving on time. I hold the woman on my lap in the back seat of my car while my beta drove. I look down at the woman. She has dark hair that fell to her waist and is small in stature, especially in m
Megan Everything is dark. I can’t see anything. Is this what being dead is like? I was hoping to see my mate, my little son. Where am I? Moon Goddess, you can’t be this cruel to keep me away from my family. Why is it cold and dark here? Suddenly I am reliving the death of my son. I feel him being pulled from my arms and the cruel look of the rogue as he held my son and twisted his little neck. I screamed and screamed as I watched as he dropped my pup’s body to the ground. I couldn’t stop screaming as tears fell from my eyes as I crawled towards my son’s body and took his little hand in mine. I sat up screaming in pain and agony. Suddenly there were a strong pair of arms around me. Holding me as my screams turned into heavy sobbing. “My son. He killed my son.” I kept crying over and over again. “I know.” I hear a male voice speaking softly in my ear. The arms and voice were oddly comforting as I sobbed my heart out. I suddenly come to realize I am not dead after all. Why am I not d
