Chapter 65: Grace
CooperDo you remember the brief mention of Alpha Christopher's daughter in Angel and Liam's book? Perhaps we'll see her at the next mate gathering.

I can do nothing but shake my head at Grace. “What?” “You were sparring with that Alpha, not competing against him.” She just shrugs it off. “He knew he couldn’t defeat me, but he was excited to spar with a Guardian. He thought it might be his only chance, so we had fun with it. Now he’ll get another chance if he brings his daughter to the mate gathering.” “Speaking of that, do you have any idea what chaos you’ve just started? Every unmated male will be coming to our gathering hoping to be the mate of an Alpha female.” “Why shouldn’t they? You never know where you’ll find your mate and if more come, we’re more likely to find other mate matches.” I grab her arm, stopping her and turning her toward me, before pulling her against me. “I love you. You are an amazing woman.” She wraps her arms around my neck, stretching on her tip toes. “I love you too.” She says before kissing me deeply in front of everyone. I love when she claims me like this. It makes Louis purr in my chest. “Get
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 67: Grace
Fear. I have never felt such fear in my life. I’ve been afraid many times. I was afraid when my mother started having her ‘episodes’. I was afraid when my mother died, and I was alone in the world. And I was afraid when I was being hunted across the country by Alphas wanting to force me into a mate bond. But this? This isn’t fear for me. This is fear for my mate. Fear for my sisters standing beside me. Fear for my pack, and fear for the innocent pups huddled behind me. How dare they? How dare these hunters come to take what is mine? How dare they threaten the happiness that Eli and I have worked so hard to create? And as Cara blasts them with our power and they turn their attention toward us, my fear turns to anger. A fiery inferno of anger. They do not get to take what is mine. They do not get to take the happiness of my people who have worked so hard to find a better life, to make a better life for themselves. They, who have come to take everything from me, will have everything ta

I knew Guardians were powerful. Every werewolf hears about the Guardians at a young age. There is a reason Alphas covet them. But, knowing they are powerful and actually seeing the results of that power are very different. Watching Grace take down nearly 1000 hunters all at once was mind boggling. Knowing that she has that much power and the ability to pull that kind of power from Cara and Angel makes me wonder if it’s hard for Grace to house that inside her. Does it just lay dormant until it’s needed, or does it fester needing an outlet? Those are thoughts for another day. Right now, my mate needs me. “How do you feel, baby?” “Like I’ve been hit by a truck.” “Let’s get you back to the cabin.” “But there are people here who need us. What about our pack members? Are all of them safe? Were any injured?” Grace asks. Of course, she puts the pack ahead of herself. I’m about to tell her I’ll handle it after I have her safely in bed, when Carlos and Amber come jogging up after checking

The next morning, I was feeling much more like myself. When Eli and I went down to breakfast, I saw immediately what Noah meant about the ‘sprite situation’. Leilani and Lolana were….tall. They still glowed like sprites, but they are walking beside Alexander standing over five feet tall if I had to guess. “Lady Luna Grace. Lady Luna Grace.” They both exclaim excitedly before embracing me in the bright light of their arms and bodies. “Oh…” I say, unused to such effusive affection before wrapping my arms around them in an awkward hug. “Girls, let Luna Grace breathe.” Alexander says and they immediately release me and step back. He wraps an arm around each one as they flank him. “What? How?” “Look! Look!” They say, pulling their hair aside and showing me their mate marks. A slow smile spreads across my face. “You’re mated!” I say, happy for their excitement. “Yes! Alexander and Fynn wanted us as their mates.” They turn their adoring eyes to Alexander who kisses first one then the o

When Grace goes to check on the packhouse, I grab hold of my patience and head to the border. When I get there, I can see that there are a bunch of sprites racing beside the patrols as they run the borders. I can't tell if they're playing or trying to help. I walk up to the border. “Funichio? Fanella?” I call. I have no idea how to get their attention, but based on everything I’ve learned about them, their fascination with us would keep them close to our borders. “Sir Alpha Eli!” They exclaim excitedly as they rush over to where I am. “Good morning. I wanted to speak with you about some disturbing things that have happened and ask for your assistance.” After filling them in about the hunters and getting their very enthusiastic agreement to meet with one of the ranked members every day to give us an update on any strange sightings, I head back to the packhouse. When I get back, I have the contract for the land from the elders. I call Carlos over and look at the land lines to make s

After dinner, Eli and I went up to our room. “Baby, what do you need to prepare for your battle with your father?” I turn and look at him, confused. “What do you mean? There’s no way he’s going to defeat me.” He walks over, pulling my hips against his, putting his forehead on mine. “Grace, every Alpha there saw what you can do. There is no way your father is going to fight fair. He’s lost before the battle begins. So, what do you think he would do?” I understand what he means. If my father intends to fight me for the pack, he knows he can’t beat me outright. “What do you think he will do?” “Well, I think we need to make sure that the battle is as fair as possible. We’re going to bring some of our pack members with us. But I also want to talk to Alpha Anders. He’s an elder and if he’s there, it would mean that any cheating would immediately disqualify your father from the challenge.” “Do you think Alpha Anders would be willing to come with us?” “All we can do is ask.” Eli says. T
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 72: Grace
When we park and exit our vehicles, we are greeted by my father’s mate. She is clutching my half-brother to her chest and has a fading bruise on her cheekbone. I’m familiar with the look of a woman’s face after my father’s beatings. I saw it on my mother’s face for over a year. I walk up to her, carefully taking in my surroundings. There should be others here, if not in greeting, at least as a show of force. Where is everyone? “Luna. I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name last week.” “Luna Grace. I’m Paisley. I am no longer Luna of this pack. I rejected my mate after last weekend.” I lower my voice, putting a hand on her arm gently. “Are you alright?” She nods, tears in her eyes. “Please believe me, I didn’t know.” She whispers with a shaky voice. “I know. As I said last week, you are welcome to come with us to our pack. Alpha Eli and I will accept you.” I turn, lifting my arm toward Eli so he would know to come join us. “As my Luna said last week, you are more than welcome in our pa
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 73: Eli
My heart stops when I see Alpha Edgar stab Grace with a knife. I know she’s strong, but a knife wound is still serious. We could all tell that he had lost it. He looks and is acting like a crazed wolf. Even if we weren’t here for the challenge, he’d have to be put down. He’s a liability. When Grace pulls his heart from his chest, I run up to her, pulling the knife from her stomach. I expect her to fall, but instead, she turns around to face the pack. As much as I want to take care of my mate, I know she needs to do this. I step back, staying close in case she needs me. “Does anyone here contest my rank as your new Alpha?” She asks in a voice that rings with strength and power, making me even more proud of her. You’d never know she’s bleeding and was just stabbed in the stomach. She raises her father’s heart, still in her hand, before crushing it and tossing it to the ground. No one speaks, but everyone in the Laurel River Pack bends the knee, showing their necks in submission to my
