Emmett’s POV“Cameron,” Luca did not resist the bro hug Cameron offered. “Good to see you, man!”“Hey, like I said on the phone, I really appreciate the confidence, I won’t let you down,” Cameron’s smile is perfect. It’s infuriating. “Hi, I’m Cameron.”He holds his hand out to me. I want to crush it and make Luca choose another less good-looking Beta.“Hello,” I shake his hand and look to Luca. I was polite enough to not only resist hugging someone, I introduced him as my mate.“Cameron, this is my mate, Emmett. We spoke about,” Luca wasn’t as proud as I wanted him to be. He actually kept his voice low, like he wanted only Cameron and Zach to know who I am to him.“Yes,” Cameron also lowers his voice. “Nice to meet you, Luna.”Zach seems to pick on the tension, and lowering of voices. And Zach is not one to put up with such things. He gives me a look that I read as, he’s about to fabulous this meeting. I smirk back, waiting to see what he comes up with.“Emmett, we have to talk, we ne
Luca’s POVWe enjoy our evening, but I’m ready to get my mate alone and talk about Zach. The Beta pip squeak didn’t let me and Cameron out of his site all day long. Now, I find out he and my mate had a thing. What was he a spy? Is Emmett so insecure, that he needs me spied on by his ex?“Well, this was fun,” Emmett says, after more jokes and chats. “But, we have tandem training in the AM, and I for one need some rest.”“Same,” Melissa echos.Once the door is closed, both Emmett and I remove our shirts and bare our chests. We are about to fight as men do.“Talk to me about Zach,” I say first.“Talk to me about Sally,” he snaps back.“Sally who?” I ask confused.Emmett looks annoyed, “Luna Sally, said she fucked you.”“Completely possible. But if it was a hit and quit, I wouldn’t remember her name.” I confess. Yeah, it makes me a jerk, but I don’t care. The only wolf I give a fuck about is Emmett. The rest are just noise. “Wait, is that why you introduced me to Zach so quickly? Because
Emmett’s POV Luca got me off the field as quickly and quietly as possible. Rita told us about a private gym where she and her sister practiced when they were learning.Luca spent hours teaching me basics and sparing with me. He never lost patience or acted frustrated. We ate lunch in the cafe, before showering for classes. It was in the shower, I showed my appreciation for his understanding and willingness to teach me. We went to our individual classes. I learned about seating etiquette and invitation design. “Hey, so do you have like part ownership of Mastic?” Melissa asks me, as we are working on designs on tablets.“It’s owned by my family; all profits are in a trust and spit evenly, between the two packs. I get a paycheck as a board member. Well, I did, I won’t now,” I tell her. “Does that mean you can get us in? None of us are 21, but as werewolves….” Melissa flexes her eyebrows. I smile. “Sure, who all wants in?”“Me, Clint, and Tim are for sure, should we ask Drake, Zach
Luca’s POV“Cold Moon and Silver Creek have never had a formal alliance, we should fix that,” Clint extends his hand to me, as we stand about to depart home from Blood Moon’s portal.“Yes, let’s conference this week,” I shake his hand, while our mates exchange information.“Can I get an alliance as well?” Drake asks laughing.“We have one!” I laugh at him.“Yeah, I meant with Clint,” Drake extends his hand.“Of course, brother,” Clint and he shake hands.Our cars are all lined up and I see Cameron and Tim drooling over Emmett’s old car. He called it something, I have no idea. I don’t drive, so I don’t pay attention to cars.“Is that a Barracuda?“ Clint asks, as he and Drake seem to go into a haze.“Nice, who owns this gorgeous lady?” Drake asks.“My Luna, touch it and die,” Cameron says, holding his arms out, protectively, over the car.“Em, you restore this?” Clint asks.“Yep, took two years,” Emmett starts talking about cars and I notice even Marcus and Blake, Patrick’s Gamma, are e
Emmett’s POVI hang up with Luca and my phone rings, again. This time, it’s Aunt Claire.“Sup, Aunt Claire,” I say.“Welcome back to Wolferton. Sara and Shay put off their gender reveals until you and Luca came back. They are trying to get it done before the Alpha Ceremonies. So, as Luna of Blue Mountain, I am calling the future Luna of Silver Creek, to request you and your Alpha’s presence.” She is smiling and trying not to laugh.“As future Luna of Silver Creek, I accept the invitation of the Luna of Blue Mountain. I assume this will happen at the Southern Crescent Packhouse?” I answer.Claire and I discuss details and have her send me a text message with the information as well. It’s a long drive, but once I make it to the Packhouse, my mate is waiting for me.“Hey, babe,” I say, trying not to smirk.“I’m sorry,” he says.Now, I’m smirking, “Me, or Little Miss Cathy?”Luca looks annoyed.“I am not apologizing to a car,” Luca says.“Too bad, I was horny,” I tease, grabbing my bag an
Luca’s POV“Edward and Monica’s ceremony is in two weeks and then, two weeks later is ours. So, I was thinking, everything is running smooth; Cameron is doing great. What if you and I took a trip?” Emmett asks one morning, while we cuddled.“What did you have in mind?” I kiss his head and hold him close.“Green Creek is having a classic car show this weekend. We could go, you could see my passion for cars, little time just you and me,” Emmett’s green eyes make it impossible to say no.“Okay, do you have a relationship with Alpha Jackson so you could ask permission to be on his land?” As Alphas we didn’t have the luxury of just enjoying an event in another pack, we have to have special permission.“I already made all the plans with Luna Christina!” Emmett jumps out of bed and starts to get ready for his day,“Why do I feel like I just got played?” I ask, still laying in bed.Emmett’s laugh fills the room. “Maybe because you did.”“What if I had said no?”More laughter, “We both know th
Emmett’s POV“Silver silk draped around the room?” Erin asks me.“Too old fashioned. Just let the hall speak for itself. It’s a great room, it doesn’t need all the extra stuff. Sliver tablecloths on the round tables. Centerpieces of white roses, with three crimson roses, in a sliver vase, with a light blue half inch ribbon above it.” I tell her. “The room will be lit by LED candles, hanging from the ceiling. The archway will be covered in twinkle lights. As you and James walk through, the light will dim, slightly. James will take his place and you will stand at his side. Luca will come through alone. I will enter with my parents and stand to the side, until my dad gives me away. Oaths will be made. James will transfer power to Luca; you to me and we all exit the archway. It will be removed; the lights will come up for dinner. Luca and I will enjoy our first dance. Then, the floor will be open for dancing and/or toasts.”Erin smiles and nods. “Sounds perfect.”I can tell she is about t
Luca’s POVI’m standing in front of the Packhouse with Cameron, Cliff, Taylor, Cam’s Parents and the pack.Dad is transferring power from Taylor and Cliff to Cameron. The Beta induction is small, personal, but still, very important. Cameron and I have been friends since we were kids, but he is not a Silver Creek Wolf.Emmett and I haven’t seen each other since dinner last night. Apparently, that is one tradition that is important to my mom. So, I stand alone.“Camron Blake, do you promise to discharge the office and rank of Beta to the best of your ability?” Dad asks.“I do,” Cameron Answers.“Do you promise to put your pack, and her members, ahead of your desires and wants?”“I do.”“Will you faithfully serve your Alpha, protect your Luna, and lead our warriors with pride of purpose?”“I will.”“Oh, gentle moon goddess, we ask for your blessings on this Beta, on his heirs, and on this pack.” Dad raises his hands and brings them down. “Silver Creek Pack, I give you, your Beta Cameron B
