LOGINNow to make sure Jameson, Timothy, and Priscilla make it safely to Will and Stephanie's pack.
WillWhen we get back to the packhouse, I kiss Stephanie, then go to my office to call Austin and Roman.“So, the Beta family is safe,” Roman says after we’re all on the line.“For now. Will made a good point that Ellis’ men are still out there hunting for him. Plus, Beta Jameson said he heard the howls of the hunt even as he was making his way to my pack,” Austin says.“Do we have any idea where they might be?” Roman asks.“Jameson thinks they’re on the main road that goes east and west. He told me that his previous Lead Warrior caught him at that road. He was following the river north, and when he crossed, the Lead Warrior and his team cut him off. They talked and the Lead Warrior believed him that he didn’t kill Alpha Steph. He let Jameson go but told him to make it look like they’d fought. Their scents would have been stronger and there would have been blood in that area, so I would guess that is where they picked up his scent.”‘Stephanie, who is the Lead Warrior in your father’s
Stephanie‘Baby, can you come to my office right away?’ Will says in the mind link.‘Is everything okay?’ I ask, moving toward his office quickly.‘Yes,’ he says, but nothing more.I don’t bother knocking since he’s expecting me.“She just walked in, Austin,” he says. He puts his phone on speaker and taps his thigh for me to sit.“Good morning, Luna Stephanie,” he says as I sit on Will’s lap.“Good morning, Alpha. Is everything alright?”“I believe I have some news that will make you very happy, Luna.”I look at Will. He leans forward and kisses my shoulder, waiting for Austin to tell me.“And what is that?” I ask.“We found your missing Beta, or rather, he found us,” he says.I gasp, then look at Will who nods.“Jameson is there? Is he okay?” I ask.“He’s okay. He looks at bit ragged. We brought him to the pack hospital because he had a run-in with a momma bear. We’re going to get him showered, fed, and stitched up, but I think he should rest before we bring him to your pack. He’s an
Timothy“How long will you be away, Tim?” Priscilla asks.Our mate bond wasn’t easy in the beginning, but over time, Priscilla learned to trust me and realized that I’m nothing like Dylan. He may have loved her, but he betrayed his friends and allies, ultimately causing his death and nearly causing hers.“Just a couple of days, Cilla,” I say, caressing her cheek. “You know I hate being a way from you and our pups.”‘Our pups’ includes her two daughters with Dylan. After she accepted me as her mate, I adopted her girls, Heidi and Sonya. Heidi is twenty now. She found her mate and moved to live in his pack. Sonya is eighteen and hasn’t yet found her mate. Priscilla and I also had two pups of our own, both boys. Timothy Jr., or TJ as we call him, is nine, and Peter is eight.“I feel like history if repeating itself,” she says softly.I press a kiss to her forehead. “Let’s hope not, but we need to know for sure. If Alpha Steph’s Beta ran with his family and has some sort of evidence, whate
StephanieWhen we returned to the pack, I checked on Jalen and Lindsay. The hospital staff had pulled a small bed into Lindsay’s room and attached an IV to Jalen. When I walked in, his eyes flashed open. It’s probably going to take a while for him to stop feeling like he needs to be on alert after what’s happened to him.“Hey, how’s your mom?” I ask softly.“Dr. Reynolds says she’s doing okay, but her recovery will depend on whether her wolf is silent or awake. They said I could sleep in here tonight. Is that okay?”“Of course, Jalen. I want you to feel comfortable.”I walk over to Lindsay's bed and look her over, checking her monitors. To my non-clinical eye, everything looks good. Her heartbeat is steady and strong and her breathing is even.Jalen sits up as I walk to his bed.“I wanted you to know, they’re saying your father killed my father,” I say.I know Jalen is young, but I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings between us.“That’s a lie!” he barks loudly.I put a hand on
EllisElena is so nervous, it’s taking all my energy not to slap her. She keeps wringing her hands and asking me to tell her that everything will be okay. Well bitch, everything is definitely NOT going to be okay unless we get that video back!“Ellis, what’s going to happen if Stephanie finds out what I did? Do you know how long that video was in here?”Goddess this bitch is stupid. I take a breath and get hold of my temper.“How would I know that, Elena? I just found video surveillance. I have no idea what’s on there or how long it’s been recording. As for what Stephanie will do if she finds out you murdered her father? What do you think she’ll do?”“Oh goddess!” she says and goes back to wringing her hands.I’m not sure the goddess could or would save you, Elena. I keep that thought to myself.When I hear the howl of my warriors’ return, I’m thrilled. I hope they got Lindsay and Jalen, too, but as long as they got Jameson, that’s all that matters.I race outside to meet with my hasti
JamesonAfter I left Lindsay and Jalen, I continued heading east, trying to draw off the warriors. My hope was that they would stay on the road where we were traveling, but that was just my hope.When I reached a fork in the road where I could continue going east or head north, I hid the car, and shifted, heading north. Everyone in our region knows the story of the demise of the Brenner pack. Everyone heard how nine-year-old Samara Brenner made her way from the Brenner pack to Alpha William’s pack by following the river. If she could do it, so can I. At least, that’s my hope.I’ve only been running a few hours when I hear the howl of the hunt behind me. That wisn’t what bothers me. What bothers me is the answering howl that comes almost directly west of me. I’ve already crossed the river twice, trying to force Ellis' warriors to slow and find my trail again.This time, I know I’ll have to cross and stay in the water for a while. The second group of trackers are much closer than the one
StephanieAs terrified as I was for this night, Will has done everything possible to make me forget anything but him. I wasn’t sure what to expect on my marking and mating night, I just knew that, for me, it was important that I saved myself for my mate.Will told me he’d only been with enough wome

WillStephanie and I spent hours making love, then we’d curled up together and talked until the sun came up. I told her about my parents, and about how my father took Samara in at a young age to hide her and keep her safe.“We grew up as brother and sister. My father knew who she was from the very
WillI knew the pack would react the moment they saw Stephanie. As she guessed, I don’t bring women home with me. I’ve always made sure that my relationship with my mate would be untainted by any relationships with other women.As I introduce her to the pack, I can feel their excitement to meet thei
