ANMELDENOf course, Isaiah is having fun with his new ranked members!
Aric POVAdrian took me by surprise when he became serious and asked about a blood pact. I have no idea what he is talking about, but Isaiah clearly understood where he was going. They both looked at me, and I have to admit, I’m a little nervous.“Don’t look at me like I’m a sacrifice, guys. It’s kind of creeping me out.”They both started laughing. Then Isaiah spoke, “Nothing like that, Aric. You are a ranked member, and until I could evaluate everyone, I didn’t want to talk about it. We are at a place where it is now time to explain.”“Okay?”Adrian began. “The Willis Bloodline is favored by the Moon Goddess, Aric.”I raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t we all favored by the Moon Goddess? I mean, we are her creation.”“Yes and no,” Isaiah said. “My mother’s bloodline comes from a very private pack called Rising Moon. Centuries ago, the Moon Goddess made a blood pact with them. Only the warriors and ranked members could participate in the blood pact, and no one outside of the warriors and ran
Isaiah POVI’m looking at Niall. He looks like he is trying to keep his nerves at bay. I’m sure it’s intimidating for him to be in my office and have two betas flanking him. I put the guy out of his misery, though.“As you know, we have been evaluating warriors for Lead Warrior and Gamma.”His eyes widened, and he looked at Aric and Adrian and then back at me. Now he is fidgeting in his seat. “Ye…yes, Alpha.”“Tell me, what do you think of Brent and Sloane?” I asked. I did it on purpose to fuck with the guy. He doesn’t need to know just yet. Adrian’s lips are twitching, and Aric’s eyes are full of amusement.Poor Niall, though. The light seemed to extinguish from his eyes a little. It’s okay, they will light back up in a minute.“Both are excellent warriors and would be great additions to the ranked team, Alpha,” he said politely.“Great. I will have them brought into my office shortly and offer them the Lead Warrior roles.”Niall’s head cocked to the side. “Roles?”“Yes. We want to m
Adrian POVAmber and I have been trying to work through our issues. Which is really fucking hard, since I don’t know what she did and I have no way of finding out. She has, however, opened herself up to me. It’s been almost a month since she finally told me all she could. Since she let me make love to her.Ever since then, she and I have restored that part of our relationship. Having her in my arms, being inside her, pushing all the love I have for her in our bond, and her not rejecting me has made me feel a lot better.With Aric and Sinclair back, I plan to leave for Blackstone with Amber by the end of the week. Isaiah and I are finalizing the Gamma and Lead Warrior roles. Also, some of the warriors who were pro-Paul seem to have switched sides and are now pro-Isaiah.It doesn’t surprise me. Isaiah is a natural leader. We are alphas, and we know how to assert our authority. Kaia has been an excellent Luna. The omegas are her fiercest supporters. They absolutely adore her and help her
Kaia POVSeriously? How am I the only one noticing that we haven’t had a rogue attack since Sinclair left? We had a big one when we first got here. Then we had a small one just before Sinclair left. We didn’t even call Thalia for help on the second one. We handled it ourselves. After that, nothing.“We had a large and a small attack. Then Sinclair left, and there have been no attacks. That can’t be a coincidence,” I said.Then you could see Isaiah’s wheels start spinning in his head. Aric and Sinclair looked at each other, and then at me.“Why didn’t you call us?” she asked.“You were hours away. Doubt you would have made it on time. Besides, Isaiah and Adrian, along with some of the trusted warriors, handled it. Also, no offense, but I would have called Aiden and Thalia first. They are closer.”“What makes you think they are after Sinclair?” Isaiah asked.I shrugged my shoulders, “Just a hunch. Anyway, we need to find the report in the bedroom.”Isaiah stood up, “I’ll go. You three s
Isaiah POVThis recording might break Kaia. It was not easy watching Paul crumble the way he did, seeing Sinclair. He really believed it was Iris. What unsettled me further was the way his voice cracked when he heard that Iris had been the target.The tears were real. The agony in his voice was real. The pleading for forgiveness was real. Paul has always been an arrogant bastard. Everything that has ever been said about him was negative. He was arrogant, pompous, and a bully. He didn’t care about his pack members, and he was cruel to Kaia. Yet, standing here, watching this unfold, something seems off.I don’t think he ordered the hit on Iris. I believe him. He doesn’t cry for anyone, yet here he was, crying for Iris. I don’t have it in me to destroy the illusion for him. But I don’t have to, because Sinclair does it anyway.Right as she finished telling him it was his punishment, she stepped towards him again.“But I will tell you this, Paul. Iris is dead. It turns out, she was a twin
Sinclair POVWe reached the dungeons. Isaiah had his phone on, and he was ready to record; otherwise, Kaia said he would be sleeping on the couch. I laughed when I heard that, and Aric’s mouth twitched. He is trying so hard not to be disrespectful and laugh at his Alpha, but honestly, I don’t care about all that. I look at Isaiah like a brother-in-law. Kaia is my chosen sister. That’s all that’s important to me.“Are you ready to have some fun?” I asked Aric.He raised an eyebrow at me. “When you find your mate, Sinclair; I know he won’t be bored.”I laughed. “No rush on finding him. But you are right, he wouldn’t be bored.”Isaiah sighed, “You and Kaia are a pair. That’s for sure. I haven’t had normal blood pressure since the two of you arrived at Blackstone.”Aric laughed, and I grinned playfully and devilishly. “Why don’t we raise Paul’s blood pressure then?”Isaiah scoffed, “As long as it isn’t mine.”We walked in, and Isaiah told the guards outside to keep watch and not disturb u
Paul POVThat fucking bitch. She is even more cunning than I realized. I just lost my pack to one of the weaker Willis boys. Isaiah is nothing. My wolf was overly emotional, and the thought of losing the pack made him even more upset, especially since Kaia was mated to Isaiah.‘I wanted her. I alway
Isaiah POVMy brain stopped functioning for at least two minutes when Kaia said my pup needed to eat too. Storn was in my head, preening around, clearly proud of himself and excited about being a dad.I’m not going to pretend I don’t feel the same way, though. I’m fucking ecstatic. Aiden came up to
Isaiah POV I feel Kaia's anxiousness in our bond. She is trying hard to rein in her emotions. I am not used to seeing her this emotional over me. It feels good but foreign. I’m used to her snarky attitude and laughter. I don’t like seeing her cry for me. I hold her close, even though I am a mess.
Isaiah POV Paul is Kaia’s ex-husband. I did not see that coming. I never met the asshole until tonight. So when I saw him on the camera, I didn’t know that was who I was watching. Also, the sickening thought that my mate took on an Alpha and walked away, all to get a divorce. If I had known, I cou
