~Brackston~

I can honestly say that I didn’t see this coming. It’s been days since I was told that the kids seemed sick and nothing has been going right. It’s been one revelation after another, and none of them are any good.

I’ve been so preoccupied that I haven’t even reached out to her. I haven’t found the time to have any kind of conversation. Hell, I haven’t even had my phone on me to receive any updates. I literally have no idea what’s going on with that pack.

I sigh and run a hand down my

    ~Brackston~“Is there nothing that can be done?” My head is thrown back on the chair, and my eyes are closed. This has been a crazy few days, and the call with Jamorea wasn’t any better. Her reaction gutted me, but there’s nothing I can do to fix it.Khalid went down, and he went down fast. I was told that he was feverish and sleeping a lot. I figured it was the weight of everything and told them to keep an eye on him. It was the bruising and bleeding that really let us know something was wrong, and then he dropped like a stone in water.The doctors did a lot of tests, and they were stumped. I immediately sent him to a human hospital. It didn’t take them long to diagnose him with Leukemia. It’s a childhood cancer of some kind. The word ‘cancer’ barely registers with me. We are wolves; we don’t get human illnesses. I thought that trickled down to our pups too. I guess I was wrong. I guess we can be susceptible to these types of things.I checked him into the human hospital and told the

    ~Dominic~I wanted to have this done already, but we had to wait for Topaz to get everything together. It’s actually worked out that Brackston hasn’t called Jamorea in a few days. We had a backup plan to hide her mark if he did, but now we don’t need it. Topaz came through, and I couldn’t be happier. The first idea was to do a glamour of sorts that would make the mark disappear for a while. I didn’t like that because we only need to cover it for the video calls. I’m proud that I have my mate and she’s marked by me. I want her mark to show to everyone. Topaz was able to give us a better alternative. It’s a cream that will temporarily make her mark disappear. It’s supposed to last about 2-3 hours before disappearing. This guy usually calls around the same time every day, so Jamorea will be able to put the cream on before he calls, and it will wear off sometime after their call. I reach out to my mate, only to be met by a wall. That’s weird because since we’ve been marked, I’ve always

Hell, I haven’t even had my phone on me to receive any updates. I literally have no idea what’s going on with that pack.I sigh and run a hand down my face. I look at the papers spread across my desk. There’s so much to do since I’ve been so preoccupied. I have no idea how long it will take to get through all this work, but I have no choice but to find out firsthand.I haven’t even been to the rogue camp lately, and that could be the most dangerous thing I’ve done. Rogues don’t really specialize in loyalty. Just because someone is a leader one day doesn’t mean that will be true the next. It would take nothing for someone to try to challenge m

    I stroll out of the room after getting dressed. I step out of his apartment, only to crash into a solid object. When I look up, my mate is standing in front of me. I step back and rub my arm, not knowing where to look. “You’re up.”“That’s usually what happens in the morning, right?” Dominic steps forward and I step back.“I’m sorry for rushing out of here. I just needed to handle something.” I don’t respond and don’t look at him. “If you come with me, I can explain.” Silence wraps around us, causing me to look toward him. Dominic has his hand out to me, waiting for me to take it. I tentatively put my hand in his and allow him to walk me to the stairs.We end up in the Alpha’s office. He’s already there with Luna Katarina. I don’t see Skye, but I’d imagine she’ll be along shortly. Everyone gets settled, but no one speaks. The office door opens, and an older version of Aston walks in, followed by an elegant-looking woman. They embrace the Alpha and Lu

    ~Brackston~I walk the treeline, watching my warriors train. I train them sometimes, but when I don’t, my head warrior and Gamma do a great job keeping them in line. I like to watch, to be seen, to make sure they don’t forget who’s in charge. I know I don’t have the largest pack in the area, and we may not be the toughest, but we do what needs to be done. I’ve made sure to keep my warriors properly trained and ready to fall on the sword at a moment’s notice. There’s no one here that would hesitate to do what I request. I thought about mixing my rogues with my pack to expand that way. I even had a few rogues come in and try to live that life. It was a horrible disaster. The mistrust and extra aggression fueled too many problems. I hated how everything worked out and vowed never to make that mistake again. I stop in front of a huge oak tree and cross my arms, watching the warriors train. I wonder what they would say… what they would do if they knew who I really was. I wonder if they

    ~Katarina~“Are you sure you don’t want me to go see her? I mean, she knows my father, and maybe she’ll talk to me.” It’s sweet how much Aston worries about me, but he really doesn’t need to do that. I’m perfectly safe going to the coven on my own. I think by now they realize that I’m not someone who would easily succumb to their power.I turn from the mirror and look at my handsome mate. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands clasped in front of him. The look on his face is one of immense worry, and it warms my heart, but it also makes me want to wrap him up in my arms. “Do you think something is going to happen to me?”“It could. You will be away from me, and that makes me worry.” I slowly walk over to the bed, keeping my eyes on Aston. I stop in front of him and run my hands over the top of his head. “Dreamboat, look at me.” He slowly lifts his head and puts his eyes on mine. “I love how you worry about me, I do. I know you aren’t doing it in a demeaning way. I promise

    ~Katarina~It's been almost a week since Aston has been back at the pack, and it's been a bit awkward. The problem isn't because he's been weird with people. To be honest, not too many people have seen him. He's been keeping to his parents and the houseI have caught a glimpse of him once or twice,

    “I… I…” I let a growl rip through the room. I can’t stand someone who takes forever to say what they need to say. He’s a young man and has no idea what a man is like. It’s disgusting to think that she thought she could raise him. When I tie her to me, I will make sure I take over raising him into

    ~Danny~It’s been days. Days of me being locked in this bedroom, away from everyone else. No one locked me in; I did that myself. I didn’t trust that I could be around people, around my mate and keep my eyes on the prize. There have been knocks on my door, and there have been inquiries, but I’ve i

    ~Dominic~There it is. It wasn’t the question I was hoping to avoid, but everything that comes with it. This is the part where I can tell a massive lie and make myself feel better and look good in the immediate, or I can tell the truth and risk losing her forever. I don’t know why, but I thought th
