Myla's POV I sat happily waiting for the meeting to start. My little baby bump was getting lots of attention from the Lunas. I could only imagine what the other Alphas were thinking. Luna Beverly, Alpha Dominic’s mate asked if she could feel the baby. She had been waiting for grand pups, but her son and her daughter had both decided to wait. We chatted as her mate made his opening speech. “You are absolutely precious dear. I wish I had been brave enough to wear comfortable things when I was pregnant. Instead, I was taught to dress appropriately regardless of how I felt. Don’t ever let someone change you.” She smiled sadly. “Silence please,” Alpha Dominic boomed through the speakers. “We have with us, the lead investigator who has been combing through evidence trying to find the one responsible for all of the attacks. A frail-looking older gentleman stepped on stage. He stood next to Alpha Dominic looking around as if hoping he would notice something. “Ladies and gentlemen, please
Myla's POV Reiner rubbed my back as Beverly continued to hug me. After another minute, she looked at me. “You are amazing Myla. Don’t you ever forget it. If you ever need me, please contact me, ask me to come to you, come to me, I will not let Dominic keep me from you like he kept me from your mother. I owe her that.” “I will,” I promised. We talked about other things for another couple of hours. I was sad when Beverly left. Reiner sat next to me. “Are you ok Babe? I know it isn’t easy to talk about any of that.” “I’m ok. I am tired though.” It had been a long day. I needed a nap. I stretched and then stood up to go lie down. Sam and Wade were looking at me with some foreign expression. When I was in my room, Reiner came in with a glass of water. He set it on the table next to me. “Hey, what’s with them?” I was confused by their look. He smiled proudly. “They have always respected you, but now that they know what you have been through, they not only respect you as their Alpha, b
Reiner’s POVAs I looked at the photos with Myla, I could feel the anger bubbling up. They had hurt her, tortured her, and kept her chained to a wall as they took photos of her! What kind of sick perverts are these psychos? The Alpha Summit had been difficult, to say the least. Then, some sicko sends her these. I swear when I find them, I am going to torture them before I kill them. “Myla, why do you call them the others?” “I call them the others because that’s what they called themselves.”I wonder why they would call themselves the others. “I am going to have my tech guys trace the email to figure out where it came from. Hopefully, it will provide some clues.” We landed about an hour later. Myla was quiet the rest of the flight. I assumed she was exhausted. As we left the jet, Barrett hopped out of the waiting car holding Evie. “Myla, Reiner, welcome home!” He smiled happily. “We have missed you!”Myla lit up as her eyes landed on our
Reiner's POVI watched her look around for a minute. “Daddy, I have the pan and the sauce, what do I do now?”“Well, you let me help,” I said rolling up my sleeves. My favorite meal was stuffed shells. My mother had taught me to make them. I thought about how happy she would be if she knew I was teaching my daughter the secret recipe she had taught me all those years ago. I showed Evie the steps to make it. A while later, we pulled the food out of the oven. It smelled divine. Evie set the table. I got out the salad we had made earlier and the cheesy garlic bread. The whole place smelled like a gourmet Italian restaurant. I was about to send Evie to get Myla when she came in.“That smells divine! I am so hungry; I think I could eat the whole tray!” she exclaimed.Evie giggled. “Mommy, you would explode!” Myla laughed with her. The sound of their laughter made my heart skip a beat. The only thing that would complete this moment would be holding my son.After we ate dinner, we promised
The body was a twisted mess. If I didn't know it was a werewolf, I would think someone had slaughtered something. My stomach lurched as I did all I could to keep from being sick. "Alpha, you should go, I will inform you as soon as I find anything." Doc watched me hoping he would not have a mess to clean up from me. "Doc, Myla knows we have a body but I would like to spare her the details. I would appreciate it if we could keep her out of here." I knew Doc would agree but I felt I should confirm we were on the same page. I made my way out of the morgue, I needed to be away from the smell of death. When I stepped out into the afternoon sun, the fresh air calmed me. I knew I needed to consider all possibilities. I walked along the road back to the packhouse. I wanted to be with my mate and our daughter. I needed to know they were safe. Seeing the ferocity of the attack left me with an urge to hunt down those responsible. When I got closer to the packhouse, I heard laughter coming fro
The entire forest sounded as though it knew my thoughts. Not a single bird was chirping. I kept my head down as I ran. I could hear them getting closer, they were closing in around me. “Faster!” I yelled at myself. I had to get away, to be caught would be like death. My paws dug into the soft ground throwing bits of mud behind me as I ran. I could feel them getting closer, run! Don’t stop. As I reached the clearing, a large grey wolf jumped in front of me, his lips curled back revealing his razor-sharp teeth. I ran forward towards the wolf, nothing would stop me, I would survive just like I always did. I leaped forward crashing into the snarling wolf. Teeth and fur were all I could see. He whimpered as I sank my teeth into his leg. I could taste the warm blood as it squirted into my mouth. He let out a pained whimper but kept fighting. The other wolves who were chasing me caught up. They stopped and stood watching the battle before them. We continued to bite
Myla’s POV I woke with a strange feeling in my stomach. Hunger? No. Fear? I laughed as I dismissed the idea. No. This is something else. Something telling me to be prepared. I hopped out of bed wishing I could take a day off. I never let anyone from my pack know that every once in a while, I would like a day off to just be a girl. The other girls would go shopping, hang out, and just do things that most girls enjoy I always felt left out. I have to admit, shopping is not something I like or even want to do but, if it gave me time to spend with my girlfriends, then I would go. No, not me. I am the Alpha; I am feared by most of the male Alphas in the neighboring packs. They knew just by reputation to not mess with me. They called me the Alpha Bitch, the Monster Alpha, oh, and my favorite, The Alpha of Death. Then again, some had started calling me the Bitter Alpha. I hated that one. They thought it was fun to tease me by calling me bitter since I had yet to find my mate. Most of them th
Reiner’s POV I rolled my eyes at the two women sitting across from me. “Why do you care if he is missing?” I snapped. I couldn’t help it. Going to another wedding while I remained mate less just rubbed salt in the already raw wound. The two women looked at each other both equally worried. “We apologize for bothering you, Alpha. It’s just, that he was our sister’s son. He is all we have left of her. Please Alpha, please help us find him.” Their eyes teared and they looked tired, as though they hadn’t slept in a very long time. The pack had returned two days ago but, their nephew was not there. “Yes, of course,” I answered trying to hide my annoyance. “I will send out warriors to find him. They should have him home by dinner.” I tried my best to sound optimistic despite my sour mood. I usually tried to show compassion but today showing anything, but aggravation was hard. The two women shared glances before standing up. “Thank you, Alpha, you are most generous.” They both left quickly
