Landon closed the book of tales and looked down at his sleeping daughter snuggled in beside him on the loveseat. His heart almost swelled with joy and happiness. He had a family.

He carefully placed his hands under her and picked her up, carrying her to her room. Scarlett went by him down the hallway, turning to follow and help him push open the door.

The past few days had been hectic as they settled back into the pack as a family. Everyone had come by to visit and greet their new Luna, and to meet Cleo. It had been amazing, but tiring. The task of handling the unknown wolf and bolstering their borders had been consuming much of his time. There were many nights when he came back so late that he slept right through Cleo's bedtime. But every night, Scarlett waited for him. There was a dinner on the table and a listening ear and a warm, understanding one.

Scarlett was his rock, and this time he was not going to let her know how much happier and more grateful he was to her for her support

    "Gage, friend, how are you?" Landon asked softly. "Do you want something?"He nodded his head no, and Cleo smiled softly at him. "You're going to be fine, you know," she whispered, coming up on her tiptoes to give a soft kiss on his cheek."I feel like the luckiest Dad in the world with the two of you in my life," Landon told them, causing Gage to jump."You're the luckiest Daddy in the entire world," I said playfully before turning back to Gage.Sure enough, Landon leaned back and observed her smiling down at him with love."I believe you'd be a good brother, don't you?" she asked, smoothing his hand.Gage blushed and gazed at them as if he couldn't believe his ears. "Brother? What?"Scarlett smiled at him and nodded."Hold on to me?" he stuttered, his eyes brimming, "Forever?"Landon grasped Scarlett's hand, and they went over to stand by Cleo."Forever, Gage. If you want us."A harsh sob tore from his throat, and he turned his face away, brushing tears from his eyes with the back o

    They fell to the ground, and Sylvie cried out. Scarlett backed away and stood up, spitting out Sylvie's bitter-tasting blood onto the ground before kicking her in the ribs. Her teeth were still embedded in Sylvie's neck, and there was a steady dribble of blood.Scarlett did some damage, but when she examined Sylvie critically, she was sure that she would live.Scarlett loomed over her, standing on her wrist so she was forced to stay down."I said, this is finished." Scarlett's tone was authoritative. For the first time, she really understood the power of the position she held. She couldn't command a room like the Alpha could, but as the Luna, she had her own influence."Go," Scarlett ordered, dismissing Sylvie.Sylvie struggled to her feet, swaying unsteadily. There was real fear in her eyes now as she looked at Scarlett.Scarlett stood tall."You will never hurt my pack or my family again." Her voice was authoritative. For the first time, she really understood the power of the positi

    The two River wolves attacked Scarlett and Sage simultaneously. Scarlett growled, opening her legs wide. Sage's training and years of experience kicked in as he defended them, two at a time.Scarlett watched, too caught up in the fight to back away. When he had one of the wolves on the ground, getting him to submit, Sage caught her eye and nodded in the direction of the village.His implication was clear. _Go see if Cleo is there._Scarlett turned around and ran towards it, only slowing down when she hit the main village road.Everything appeared empty. It was eerie. She sniffed every few feet, trying to scent where Cleo would be. Her heart ached to hold her again, to see with her own two eyes that she was safe and sound.She passed a car that was broken down, already rusted over. The smell of wolf was stronger now, and she was on high alert. As she passed the car, a small head popped up, and she startled. A flash of red and then a thin, familiar boy was climbing out onto the road. He

    We're nearing the boundary when a thunderous howl breaks through the darkness. I stand still, my heart pounding. It's the alarm.They've discovered we're here.I transform back and rush to seize my clothes from the small bag my father has brought along. Everyone dresses up and walks towards the winding road leading to the River Pack village.Three guards wait at the gate."Your in the wrong place, Bakin Pack," a growls, his yellow eyes flashing."I'm here for Alpha Paxton. Get him. Now," I state, keeping my stance firm. The Alpha tone of command in my voice makes the smaller man flinch."I'm here, Fletcher. Stand down."I look past the guard and see sweat-covered Alpha Paxton approaching the gate with Sylvie at his side."Alpha Landon, what are you doing at my gate at this time of night?" he sneers.Sylvie is glowering at us with a sickening grin, and it makes me bristle."Your people ambushed us and took one of our youth. We demand her return."Sylvie guffaws and Fletcher laughs as h

    I am afraid to face my mate and tell her that I let her down and our daughter. As Alpha, it is my duty to keep my pack safe. And today, I let them down. River Pack members under my rule were able to infiltrate and kidnap my own daughter from the woods. They were able to enter our territory and abduct her.Shame and anger and a thousand other emotions boil in me until I believe I am going to be ill. I must fight, yet I must be careful.Moon Goddess, keep her safe until I can find her, I pray with all the force in me.The mere fact that the River Pack had the audacity to kidnap Cleo from our lands is frightening. I have no idea what Alpha Paxton must be thinking to put his men and pack in danger like this unless….My mind drifts back to the interactions we've had with Sylvie over the last few days. Our pack knows better than to say a word of Cleo's skills outside of our land, so could Sylvie have heard it some way? Was she taken for her skills, or is this a case of vengeance against me

    "The boundary alarm," Wren whispered. "There are intruders within the area."Scarlett's scowl made her rise from the table. Another howl echoed out, cautioning their wolves to beware.Scarlett knew she was not allowed to leave the house, but she couldn't help it, not when the two individuals she loved most were outside. Her wolf compelled her forward. She couldn't help but feel like she needed to see Cleo. Now.“I’m going to run out and check on Landon really fast,” Scarlett told Wren, already heading toward the door.“They will come here when it’s safe,” Wren said, looking uneasy. “It’s probably a false alarm.”Scarlett ignored her and stepped outside, making her way to the workshop along the side of the house.The crisp fall wind hit Scarlett's face as she sprinted down the leaf-carpeted trail to the workshop where Landon and Sage labored. All had to be well.The howling was becoming stronger, making Scarlett and her wolf grow impatient.What if not a trespasser, but something else?
