JOSH POV

What the hell is a mate? Is it what it sounds like it is? Maybe they just call it different things than a human? I watch Maddie take a deep breath and I can see real distress in her expression. This is important. More important than everything else she’s told me. I can see it. I can feel it. This is monumental.

“Wolves don’t worship Jesus or Allah or any of the other human religious deities.” Okay, not where I thought this was going. I don’t interrupt though, I just listen and watch her incredibly expressive face as she talks. “We worship our own Goddess. The Moon Goddess, Selene. Unlike humans, who have to pick a person to date, fall in love with and hope that the person they pick will be all they need in life. Werewolves are different. Selene gifts us a mate. Our soulmate. The one perfect, unique being out there destined for us, who completes us. Fully. Totally. We are legitimately half a person, half a soul, until we meet our mate.

Wow... I get where he's coming from, but I can imagine the damage that just caused, especially with the way that Maddie and Fin are close to losing everything, including their life. Hopefully, she sticks to her guns and makes him work for it IF he even wants her as more than just a lay as he put it.

    MADDIE POV It takes Molly a moment and I see her gulp away her fear before she answers, “Yes, Alpha. You can trust me. I won’t approach our Luna.” “Josh is your Luna, you should feel free to approach and speak with him, whether it be casually or needing to discuss a pack matter. However, you do not have the freedom to make sexual advances toward him or anyone else who is mated. Am I understood?” “Yes, Alpha.” I nod in acknowledgement of her agreement. Using my palm, I unlock her cell door and hold it open for her to immerge. “Don’t make me regret this, Molly. And remember, if it happens again, your punishment is death.” I tell her as she begins to pass, but I reach out and stop her. “You’re on thin ice, Molly. If you purposely harm your sister again, or anyone else in the pack, your life is forfeit. No trial. No discussion. Right then, right there, you die. Understood?” Molly gulps audibly then nods, leaving her head down in

    MADDIE POV We watch as the prisoner futilely fights against the virus I’ve injected into him. Ivan, Bruno and I all try to get him to identify himself and identify his leader, to no avail. Feeling helpless and useless, we continue to watch, for several hours, as the life slowly and painfully fades from his eyes. In the end, he took his secrets with him to his grave and to the Goddess. I sigh as I look around, just now seeing the environment surrounding me. I never seem to notice the damage I’m doing to someone until we’re done. I usually let Infinity lead all interrogations and I make myself become emotionally numb. I become solely focused on the task of getting information, not what we are doing to a person. Infinity doesn’t mind as much. She’s an animal, after all. She, like all wolves, have an innate need to hunt and kill. It’s biologic. So, the task of torture doesn’t bother her like it does me. The interrogation room is splashed wit

    FORMER ALPHA REID SINCLAIR POV “Sir,” I address my benefactor as I walk into his office without knocking. He turns toward me from the large window behind his desk and glares at me in anger and frustration. Probably for my lack of respect by entering without permission. I really couldn’t give two shits. He doesn’t like working with me, just like I don’t want to be working with him. But we both tolerate the other, simply because we can each reach our respective goals easier together, versus on our own. “The attack on the midget’s camp has concluded.” His forehead scrunches after a beat, probably due to the way I worded my statement. “Were we successful?” He asks. “That depends on your definition of ‘successful’.” I use air quotes, mainly because I know it’s a gesture that bothers him. I love getting under his skin. He quietly growls out his dissatisfaction of my mocking tone and gesture, giving me angry eyes at the same time. I can’t help

    JOSH POV “Do you want to know what this is?” Maddie doesn’t wait for his answer, she keeps going while holding up the object between her thumb and index finger for him to see it. “THIS is one of my personal inventions. It looks… harmless. Right? Smooth and chilly to the touch, made of a metal alloy, shockingly, none of it actually silver.” She runs the tip down the cheek of the prisoner, mocking the false safety of this little device. One even I know isn’t harmless. “Despite its innocuous and innocent appearance, it is quite brutal. Inside this little pinky sized metal shape are sharp, needle-like projectiles. You see, I place this sweet girl under your skin, wherever I want… face, neck, abdomen, penis, anus… wherever suits my fancy. Then I use my little remote to activate it, one needle at a time. Each time it releases a needle, a little wolfsbane is released too. I let that work its magic. Burning, sizzling into your veins and organs. Do you know how painful w

    JOSH POV My teammates act as a team but, they still look out for themselves. Playing as a team will further their own careers, but if they can throw you under the bus to advance even further, then they will and not think twice about it, especially if it gets them a bigger contract. But here… Blue Meadow pack members are so very different. They literally lay down their lives for one another. And I overheard Maddie and Greta speaking about death benefits and checking on the pups of sacrificed warriors who are off at college to make sure they have everything they need to succeed. No one here is alone and that is what my entire goal has been for my foundation, for no child to be alone in the battle of their lives. Almost everything about a pack aligns with my personal ethics of life, family and friendship. I realize as I ascend the packhouse front steps, I could do this. I could be the Luna to these shifters, and I think I’d enjoy it too. I'm hesitant to

    JOSH POV “Yeah.” He nods in agreement. “I think that was it.” “Yes. He’s still around. I’ve met him and his mate. Bruno is his youngest kid. His oldest two are the Gamma and Beta for Maddie. Bruno is the Delta.” Rocco’s eyes widen in shock, but then he gets control of himself with a nod, but the tears lining his lower lashes stay present. “I’m really glad he wasn’t killed for helping us escape the warriors. I hope I get to meet him while I’m here.” “I’m sure you will…” I begin but get cut off as Rocco’s head sharply snaps over to the door; a quiet growl emanating from his chest. Standing there, with a completely stunned look on her face is the IT woman I met in the packhouse saferoom, Poppy. She’s carrying a computer bag over her shoulder, but she’s not looking at me. She’s staring at Rocco. “MATE!” They both say in unison. Rocco stands from his chair, but instead of going to her, he takes a step back, away from h
