Chapter 27
Quincy left Emma to get dressed and went into the pack common room. Ivan and Leo were the first to report to him. Then Paul and the other squad leaders arrived. “Luna Emma will be joining us in a few moments. Until then, is there anything that needs to be addressed urgently?” He looked across the room for anyone to speak up. “Okay, since no one has spoken, I am going to assume that everything is being taken care of efficiently. Are there any reports of rouges that escaped the attack? So far we have assumed that every one of them is accounted for in the dead.” He paused for someone to speak and again no one did. “Let’s try to relax until the Luna arrives.”
Quincy watched her walk into the room. Wet hair, a loose tee shirt, faded jeans, and bare feet, with her head held high and her eyes alert and taking notes as she looked across the room at their warriors. “I am so glad to see all of your faces joining me here this evening. Everyone, please take a seat. Veronica will be taki

Ivan glanced at Leo before they both looked at him expectantly. “Paul is right, that I should have planned for this. I know better than anyone else, except for Alpha Daryl, who she is and what she’s capable of. I should have known she would join the fight, but I expected her to stay with Caleb. He is her top priority right now.” He sighed, “I’m not worried about the pack, we can smooth that over easily. I will talk to her about her security team and see how she feels about it. If she wants me to remove myself, then I will. Otherwise, I will not be leaving her security team.” Leo looked at him with a stern, knowing look and he felt pressured to say more. He weighed his options but knew it would be better to talk with the people he trusted the most. “He’s also right that I am probably too close to her. Lately, I see her as more than my Luna or even a friend. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’ve already chosen her as my mate." Ivan coughed, choking on his own spit and Quincy narro

Daryl felt like he was floating. He could feel his body, he did a mental check to confirm that he still had all of his limbs. He felt his toes, his legs, his fingers, and his arms. He felt the rise and fall of his chest as he drew in breaths and exhaled slowly. The way his body felt reminded him of a feather floating slowly down to the ground. It felt peaceful and a little scary all at once. He didn't know if he was alive or dead, submerged in complete darkness or blind, he tried to remain calm and absorb as much information as he could. The problem was there was very little information to learn. Time went by, but he had no way of knowing how much, but unlike the feather, he never hit the ground. He just remained suspended in the air. When he grew frustrated with the lack of information around him, he replayed the explosion in his head, searching for any clues as to what had happened and where he was now. 'Surely I'm not dead. Death cannot be an endless abyss of consciousness in the m

Emma sat in her room, folding laundry as Caleb slept, and thought about Quincy. Nothing had drastically changed between them. He was always by her side, assisting her as needed in both pack duties and with Caleb, but he was doing that anyway. They were more physically affectionate with each other. It wasn't unusual for him to touch her, hold her hand, or occasionally give her a quick kiss, even in front of the pack. To her surprise, no one had anything negative to say about it. If they had any objection, no one was voicing it. The elders seemed pleased with their budding romance. A few of them had made small comments about the benefits of having a strong man that the pack trusts, like Quincy by her side, now that Alpha Daryl was not able to lead the pack. Caleb was growing fast, and she enjoyed having someone to share all of his firsts with, but there was still a big part of her heart that was lying in that hospital bed with her mate. Every day she felt divided in two, her mate bond

Quincy walked Emma out of the pack house, down the stairs, and opened the door to a big black truck. He helped her climb into the passenger seat before walking around to the driver seat. He buckled his seatbelt and glanced at her. "What do you have in mind for tonight," he asked her. The deep rumble of his voice made goosebumps pop up on her arms and a little shiver shot up her spine. She licked her lips, suddenly a little nervous being with him. She tried to play it off, hoping he wouldn't notice. She tilted her head slightly, matching the glance he was giving her. "Nothing in particular. You have me all to yourself this evening. Let's go somewhere we won't be interrupted." Quincy gave her a grin and pulled out of the driveway. He laced his fingers with hers as he drove. "It's nice isn't it, getting out of the pack for a little bit. Not having to worry about everyone else," he asked her. Emma watched the forest as they left their pack behind. "I think even being away from them, I wi

The thrill of his kiss wasn’t a surprise, but Emma was surprised at how many emotions she felt at once. She was excited and aroused at his hands on her waist and his mouth on hers. She felt slight confused at how easily she responded to him. She knew that many pack members had chosen mates but she had always assumed that their connection wasn’t as intense. Now, with new feelings developing for Quincy she realize that it wasn’t any less, it just didn’t come all at once. The hardest feeling was caused by her late bond. In the back of her mind there was this part of her that said this was wrong. Ignoring that warning in her head, she focused on the feelings that made kissing him feel good. She let one had caress his broad shoulders and upper arms. His muscles bunched under her touch and she loved it. Her other hand gripped the waist of his pants. Pulling him closer into her embrace. Their kiss had started slow and soft but now it was hungry. Her dress slid up her thighs and he caressed

Quincy sat staring into space. Today was an important day, and he should be focused on the arrival of the Lycan team. Instead, his mind kept drifting back to the conversation with Emma two nights ago. They were in a difficult position. Under normal circumstances they should not have feelings for each other, but after Daryl’s attack, they were no longer in normal circumstances. All of their time together brought them closer, and now they had to fight their primal instinct that being together was wrong. The other option was to accept that they should never be together, but he was never going to accept that. He knew that even though she was strong and could handle it, she didn’t want to be alone. He knew that his support brought her confidence and peace. In their society, it was very rare for a Luna to rule a pack long-term without a mate. Their society required an alpha male to be in charge, and any werewolf with alpha blood, or one who simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunit

“Let’s focus on Alice today, and tomorrow we focus on the Luna.” Steven left the Beta’s office and Quincy went to find Emma. She was elbow deep in paperwork and muttering to herself. He gently tapped the door and she looked up. “Any news on the Lycan team?” Emma shook her head, “No. I suspect they’ll be here soon though. How was your sister?” Quincy sat and took a stack of papers. He rifle through them, sorting them by priority. “She’s doing as good as can be expected. My dad drop by to check on me. He’s worried about Alice and my mother is hovering. I’ve had a lot on my mind and I feel like I’m getting tunnel vision. I’m wondering, did you ever, or do you have any concerns about how Alice got to us? I feel like the more we learn about this situation the more complex it is. Maybe there is more to it, and we’re missing it. I think that our focus has been on helping Alice with adjusting when we should be looking more into the entirety of the situation she came from.

Quincy dismissed the staff member as they left the conference room. It was a short walk to the guest rooms. Emma directed each one to their designated rooms. It wasn’t until the very end when only an older couple was standing together that she gave any indication that she knew the team members “Come, let me show you the room I have for you. It is quite lovely.” She open the door and stepped inside. They followed her through the door, and Emma turned to gave them a big hug. Mom, Dad, I didn’t expect to see you here, but I’m so glad you are! I can’t wait for you to see Caleb. He is growing so fast, I just can’t believe it. Her mom glanced around the room, “you’re right, this is a lovely room dear. We were so excited to come on this trip. Honestly, I think the King planned our attendance on purpose. Do you know how much we hate being away from you and missing out on seeing our grandson?You should bring him to the palace.” Emma shook her head, “No, absolutely not. Not until he’s older. T
