“We’ll fix this,” Xander broke the silence.
“I hope Octavia can help,” my voice was timid, “I don’t want to put the pack or any of us in danger.”
“We knew this was coming Brianna,” Alaric lifted my chin to look at him, “we just thought we’d have more time.”
“The pack is ready Sugar,” Wyatt snugged up behind me, “they wouldn’t think twice about protecting you with their life, and neither would we. If they force our hand, their Alpha will fall and their pack will become ours.”
“We have to go soon, the guards will all be gathering and waiting on us,” Alaric kissed me gently.
“Ok, let’s just go,” I sighed, “I don’t want to just sit around here,” the boys looked at me like they were holding something back, “tell me.”
ALARIC’S POV We were finishing up walking Kallan and Theodore around the area that Moon Valley would most likely enter, plotting out where it would be best to have everyone positioned, when I could feel Brianna’s pain building. Xander was with her, but I knew she would be worrying and stressing over what tomorrow would bring. "We have to get back to our Luna," Wyatt interrupted, he was almost in as much pain being away from her, which he was going to have to get a hold of for tomorrow. "Octavia has requested to talk with you in private Alpha Alaric," Alpha Kallan's voice was still so monotone, "I understand, however, if you'd like to get back to your Luna first but she's insisting its important before tomorrow." "I'll come now," I went with him as Wyatt headed
WYATT’S POV As soon as I walked in the door her scent hit me. She was standing with Xander but once she saw me her eyes lit up and she came to me, slamming into me with a force that had Narvi practically jumping for joy. “I missed you too Sugar,” I smirked at her as I pushed her up against the wall and claimed her perfect lips as mine. My chest rumbled as her jasmine scent drove me wild, it pumped me full of energy as her sexy sandalwood scent made me want to rip her clothes off and taste that sweet honey-filled arousal. “Where’s Alaric,” she pouted as I kissed down her neck. “We’ll get you warmed up,” I slipped my hand up her shirt and massaged her perfect breast. “No,” she surprised me as she pushed my hand
BRIANNA'S POVThe coldness on my skin was making me uncomfortable, and when I went to roll over into one of the boys I was met with a cold floor. My eyes shot open and I quickly realized that I wasn't in our room. The floor was a rough concrete that was tinged with different colours, the bed was made of pillows, and the boys were nowhere to be found.My shirt had twisted around my body in the short descent to the floor, which meant someone had dressed me, but more importantly, I was in a cell of sorts with metal bars. So many questions were rolling through my head, but all I could think about was getting out of this cell as fast as possible.My body was at the bars before I could even think about it and when I grasped them to try and bend them to my will, it burnt my hand. It felt like a hot pan had been
BRIANNA’S POV CON’TLarissa was tucked behind the Beta and looked sick to her stomach as the bars to the cell began to rattle. Octavia was fully concentrating until the cell door popped open enough to slip out of without touching. It was second nature as I shifted leaving the cage, the pain of shifting no longer present in any way, and I bound through the trees with no guide to where I was going other than his scent.My lungs felt like I couldn’t breathe as I waited to see him, to know that he was ok, I would have felt it if he was more than hurt, but who knew what kind of danger he could be in. Artemis slowed her pace as his scent became overpowering, and as we stalked through the edge of the treeline, there he was. Arche was flinging another wolf into a tree, blood had covered his front leg, dripping from an open wound in his shoulder,
ALARIC’S POVNot long after Brianna’s outbursts from waking up, Moon valley arrived, making their way through the trees in a wide formation as their Alpha led the way. My brother’s stood by my side and the other Alpha’s off to the side and slightly behind us, this was our pack, and our problem, but I was thankful for their presence.“We know why you have come,” I started, interrupting the silence that lingered after they had stopped progressing towards us.“So it’s true then,” Samuel started, and his voice was a replica of his father’s in the tone that he chose and his cocky nature, “you’ve chosen to betray my pack and our alliance by marking another?”“Marking our Goddess-given mat
ALARIC’S POV CON’T Artemis shifted her head in the slightest, as if to challenge the Alpha’s stance, to which he responded by shifting back into his human form. As Dez and Orion came out of the treeline it dawned on me that Samuel must have been trying to attack me, they would have handled it, but Artemis wasn’t pleased. Nicholi took over Ryan, dropping him to his knees and holding him in position as Wyatt and Xander approached Artemis and I joined them, approaching her from the side as she shifted back to human form. “Name,” Brianna commanded the Alpha in a tone I hadn’t heard come from her before. “Brianna,” I tried to draw her attention and caution her, this wasn’t just any wolf that was going to attack me, this was an Alpha, THE Alpha, that threatened
OCTAVIA’S POVA frantic knocking sound was at the door as I prepared to leave with Eathen. Kal didn't want me to go, but he knew better, and Eathen cautiously opened the door to a frazzled Larissa."They locked her in a cell," Larissa got out quickly and shared a look with me because we both knew she had to be out there.I nodded at her and followed where she led. I hadn't anticipated her mates wanting to keep her locked away from everything, and unsure how they managed to get her in there as she didn't seem the type to not put up a fight. Seeing her in there with baggy clothing and a pillow bed made more sense, they moved her in her sleep."Don't touch the bars," Brianna said as soon as we stepped into view, "they are
BRIANNA’S POVEvery breath I took during Octavia’s speech felt unreal, it was hard to take in that any of this was true, never mind true, of me. My mates were looking at me with complete adoration as my heart was threatening to explode with the love I felt for them. We had waited for answers, for things to make complete sense, and now, they did.My dad’s death, his sacrifices and Dez’s were all for something amazing, a gift from the Moon Goddess, a gift to me. I wouldn’t have to hide anything about myself, I could tell my mates all the missing pieces later, and we could finally be happy, together. No one could take me from them now, no one could take them from me.A tear rolled from my cheek as Octavia finished, dropping my hand and to her knee. My mates surrounded me like t
