LOGINMaverick POV“On your knees!” I ordered.Kai looked up at me, his mouth and nose bloody.“You thought we were sitting ducks, huh?”Kai panted. “Alpha Maverick.”I scowled. We were quick to shift and battle the wolves that invaded the backyard. They kept coming like ants, but the beta army swarmed in like bees, plus the warriors of the Nassgar pack.“I had no choice but to retaliate!” Kai barked. “You killed a highly ranked wolf in my pack. If you were in my shoes, you would have done the same thing.”I laughed, and my soldiers followed. “If I were you, I wouldn’t attack the Daciana Pack.”“We can work this out,” Kai said.I lifted my shoulders. “Your negotiations won’t be with me.”I stepped aside, and his son took my place.“He’s all yours,” I told Heath.Now to find my mate. Heath could do whatever he wanted. Kai was his father. I ran back to the house. A few people had gotten injured and were rushed to the pack hospital, including Evyn.“Where’s Storm?” I questioned.I found Gage,
Odessa POV“What’s wrong with you two, can’t you learn to get along? You’re supposed to be working on the same mission. Why’d you do that, Maverick?”He ran a hand down his face. “Can we get out of here, babe?”Heath climbed out of the massive swimming pool.“Ximena called. Why didn’t you just ask me for your help on your own?”I blinked a few times. “Help with what?”His eyes rounded a little. “With Brandon.”“I don’t need help with Brandon. Maverick’s handling his capture. By the way, Nyla’s in contact with her Dad, and she won’t give him up.”“Ximena said her niece… she meant you, or she alluded to that.”I can’t believe she called him when I warned her not to.“I’m not her only niece,” I murmured.“I told you she didn’t need your help! Babe, let’s go home,” Maverick ordered.I sighed heavily. “I haven’t spoken to Evyn yet.”I eyed Heath. “You two need to patch things up. You’ve got an invasion to plan.”“Odessa—”I cut Maverick off with a glare.He raised his hands. “Fine. I promi
Maverick POVThis was supposed to be a small party, but the whole team was here and their girlfriends and the cheerleaders. Storm’s house was in the neighbourhood after ours. I was kind of jealous because it was bigger than mine.“What do you think, Campbell?” Storm asked.Heavy metal music pumped from the speakers and made the windows bounce.I nodded approvingly. “It’s a nice house, but isn’t it big for two people? Is there something you want to tell us, Storm?”Gage paused mid-drink and raised a brow at him. “Is there?”Storm chuckled nervously. “Don’t even joke about that, Evyn isn’t pregnant. I want to enjoy my mate before three little rascals highjack her from me.”“Speaking of children, who’d you leave Dustin with?” Gage asked.“With his babysitter. She used to watch him before Seth left the pack. He’s safe. There’s more than enough guards outside.”“Cool. Where’s my sister?” Storm questioned.I knew he meant Odessa.“Sienna’s in the corner over there. Heads up, I gave her a jo
Odessa POVAfter Ximena’s text, Maverick made me go to the hospital so I wouldn’t miss my appointment. The doctor’s visit left me tired and drowsy. I was late too.“I’m staying,” Maverick said when he parked at Nassgar’s new settlement.“You left Dustin with Sienna,” I yawned.“He’ll be fine,” Maverick said.“I don’t know how long this will take. You go home. I’m the Alpha, I have to do the hard things.”“You’re not alone, Wildcat. Even if we’re not officially mated, I’ll help you run your little pack.”I guess we are little compared to the Daciana Pack.“You’ve done enough by letting us stay.” I leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Tell Dustin I’ll be home soon.”He grabbed my arm. “I can’t imagine how hard it is to be around him when you’ve been told you might not be able to have kids.”I blinked a few times. “Yeah, especially when he looks so much like you.”His brows knitted together. “I’m sorry, my love.”I smiled. “You have nothing to be sorry about. I feel bad for him, especially w
Odessa POV“Get him, Sienna!” I coughed.Austin roared. “You bitch!”He flung her off like a flea. Sienna hit the ground and flashed her wolf at him.Before Austin could run off, Maverick tackled him to the ground. My mate punched him repeatedly with a force strong enough to destroy his jaw.“Mav! It’s okay,” I cried.“It’s not okay,” he said coldly.Austin turned blue, his feet dug into the ground, and his efforts to fend off Maverick were fading.“Maverick, please stop. Dustin’s inside,” I pleaded.Maverick threw him to the ground. Austin shifted into his wolf. He growled at Maverick. Maverick semi-shifted. His clothes tore into shreds, and fur sprouted from his body.“Get off my property!” My mate roared.Austin’s wolf flinched. He eyed Sienna and me before making the wise decision to run off.I turned to Sienna and sighed. “You’re back.”She reached for me and wrapped her arms around me. “Still getting into trouble, I see.”“Wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t, huh?”The three of us walked
Maverick POVAfter the medical staff cleared me to train and play in the next game, I drove to the pack house for an emergency meeting with the pack council. This Dustin situation got me thinking, and I was torn.I never wanted my little brother to get in the middle of this war, but it was inevitable.He was innocent.When I arrived at the pack house, every member of the council was present and waiting for me. After the Luna trials and Rune’s attack on a council member, I had to find new members. Pearl was banished, Sofia was forced into retirement, and so was Higgins since his wife needed him more than we did.I was glad to see them all gone. Higgins was difficult to handle, and I didn’t trust him. I picked Coach Manson for a spot in the council; he qualified, and I knew he was on my side. Coral, a seer in the pack, was another new addition and Jeff, a local businessman who worked with my Dad.“Is everything alright, Alpha?” Darius asked.“Far from it,” I mumbled.“You’ve defeated th
