Gideon
We land at Teterboro Airport at 8:00 PM, our time, but it’s 6:00 PM here in New York. It’s only two hours but added with stress, and it can feel like jet lag. We arrange for a car service to pick us up and take us to The James New York NoMad on east 29th and Madison. The rest of the world doesn’t know that this is a Packhouse in the middle of New York City. All those urban legends about wolves in New York City parks are kind of true. They are just werewolves. That’s why they don’t get caught. We pull up to The James, and we quickly unload. Alpha Flynn is waiting to meet us.
“Gideon, it’s great to see you again.” He shakes my hand. With this many humans around, we drop titles, but we are naturally larger and more robust. So, seeing a group of prominent men and women all together can be somewhat intimidating.
“Flynn, it’s good to see you so soon as well. I hope to see Frank Newman on this trip. We all have so much to discuss

Chapter 64Gideon“Are you ready? Let’s grab a bite, then scope out our meeting place. Who knows, we might catch a New York rat tonight.” I growl at the end of my sentence out.“Oh, I am ready! Hey, can we get pizza? I hear New York rats like pizza.” Marcus chuckles.“Are you really bringing up pizza rat right now?” He killed my murderous mood.“Sorry, you left the door right open. I could help it. I’ll be right over.” We end the mind-link, and I meet Marcus in the hallway.“Let’s go get you pizza.” I laugh and slap him on the back. We are silent as we leave the hotel. We are observing our surroundings as we go, looking for any odd behavior.“Anything jumps out at you?” I ask as we head down the street.“Nothing. You?” He asks.“No,” I say but continue to look around.We find a local pizzeria, and we e

Chapter 65 Amelie "NO! STOP! HELP THEM, MOMMY!" I wake with a jolt to find the twins screaming and thrashing in their sleep. I quickly try to soothe them. "Hey, it's OK. Mommy's here." I caress their little cheeks, and they both wake up from their shared nightmare. I read about this sometimes identical twins can share dreams or experience each other's pain. They are both sobbing and clinging to me. I wrap my arms around them and pull them into my lap, stroking their hair. "It's OK. You are safe. It was only a bad dream. Mommy's here now. Shhhhhhh, it's OK." Daisy looks up at me with tears in her bright green eyes. "Mommy, you have to help them." She starts sobbing uncontrollably as soon as she speaks. "Who does mommy need to help. You know mommy is the Luna, so she helps people right." Daisy digs her face deeper into my chest, looking for warmth and comfort. Something feels off, and I don't know how to describe it. It feels lik

Chapter 66 Amelie "Come on, girls, we need to go. You are starting school today." The twins are not as energetic as they usually are in the morning. I think the vision they had, took more out of them than I realized. "Mommy, can we stay with you?" Daisy clings to my leg. This is odd behavior for her. She is the brave one, always charging ahead. For her to stick to me must mean she really does not want to go to school, this is out of charter. "Mommy, please let us stay with you! We will go to school tomorrow, we promise." Rose's eyes are pleading with me. "I think they should stay with us too." Inari chimes in. "We need to show that the Alpha family supports the new school changes them going to pre-school is important in many ways." I need to stick to the plan. "This once don't use logic and feel. They need to stay with us." Inari's ton was surprising. It was consequential and direct. I close my eyes and let my instincts tell me

Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Gideon "I trust you. I love you too. Please call me as soon as you can, and once I'm done here, we are heading home! I don't care if it's the middle of the night!" I say in defeat over the phone to Amelie. She giggles and gives me a slight smile. "I promise. I love you." We hang up, and I have never been more conflicted in my life. Do I stay and finish what I need to here, or do I pack up and go home now? "Mate is right. We need to continue our work." Ulv's conviction is surprising. When we first heard we had a rouge attack, He wanted to try and run back. Now, after it's over, he is thinking clearly, but I'm not. Marcus interrupts my train of thought. "Alpha, the report I am getting for Matt's team, and Jordan is baffling. How did six non-affiliated wolves attack us? Plus, their attitude and mannerisms along with how they look do NOT sound like any rouge I've ever seen." "I can't agree with you more. It's

Chapter 68 Amelie The SUV stops in front of the pack hospital. We're silent the whole way over, just reviewing what happened over and over in our heads. As we were about to step out of the SUV, Tyson spoke. "Luna, before we go in, I think I need to inform you of what the Alpha and Gamma found." I nod for him to continue. "One of the elite guards sent a picture of one non-affiliated wolf's ankle tattoo, along with her name. They found a missing person's report for Bailey Rhea from 10 years ago. She was only eight at the time. Her tattoo was her initials and the date she went missing. The tattoo we believe is a tag or identifier to their captors." Tyson is steel faces as he tells us, but his eyes show more emotion, sadness, regret, and anger. "So, you are telling me they were branded like cattle. I can only imagine the horrors they have been through." I close my eyes, drop my head shaking it. I look up at Tyson, who is clenching his jaw. "How many rouge

"Alpha Flynn, is this room soundproof?" I turn my head and ask.An amused look comes across Flynn's face, "Yes, it is but, getting him out of here without the humans notices his injuries might be difficult.""Marcus, call Spencer at the Sloatsburg Delta Force facility and have him bring a single transport box." I turn back to Theo, who is desperately trying to break from my grasp. "Theo, you should stop fighting to get away and just tell us everything. I already know you are involved." I squeeze harder, and Theo drops to his knees, screaming in pain."Please, I don't know what you are talking about! Please, Alpha Flynn, make him stop." Theo keeps trying to pull away and fight my grasp. I compress harder, and I feel cracking and popping. Theo screams

Chapter 70 Amelie "Mommy?" Daisy looks up at me. Snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yes, Daisy Girl?" I look down at her. "Did you save the hurt puppies?" Everyone sees the Daisy that goes 100 miles an hour or is exceptionally stubborn. They don't get to see the sweet, kindhearted side like Gideon and I do. "I didn't save them. You and Rose saved them. Mommy just helped." I bend down to my knees and pull them both into a hug. They wrap their tiny arms around my neck. "I'm so proud of you girls. You are so brave." "Mommy, it was scarwee." Rose squeezes my neck a little tighter. "I know. Mommy was scared too." I give them both a kiss on the cheek and stand up. We are heading back to our wing of the packhouse after my hospital visit. It's a few hours until dinner, and Gideon will be home late tonight. I can't wait for him to be home. I know I need to make my presents known to the pack after the fake roug

Chapter 71 Gideon "Thank you all for coming over so late." It's after midnight, but this cannot wait. "Matt, thank you for leaving your new mate. I know in her current state, that must be very hard for you. I promise we will make the wolves who did this to her pay." We all take a seat in my living room. Only two lamps are on. They strain to fill the large room with light leaving the corners bathed in shadows. Matt nods, "Thank you, Alpha. Right now, I know I need to be here to assist in the information exchange. It's the best way to Help Bailey." His eyes speak volumes as they peer around the dimly lit room. It was like he was hoping the perpetrator would bust through the door and give him the fight he so desperately wanted. "Right, let's get started with what we found out on our trip. Marcus, please bring up the file that Alpha Flynn gave to us." I knew everyone was on edge and ready for war if that's what it came to. We needed to get through this de
