IZZY POV

I was waiting for the triplets in the foyer when they got back from the Packhouse. I could tell that they had a good workout while they were there; they were glistening with sweat and they were still shirtless. I swallowed hard. They had the most perfect pectoral muscles with a gorgeously cut six pack and they wore their jeans slung low on their hips. They smelled divine and I wondered what cologne they all used. It was slightly musky, like the clean scent of outdoors after a really hard rain, mixed with oranges and cut grass. It was a perfect scent for them, and I loved how it smelled.

I stood awkwardly in the hall until they noticed me. Caleb saw me first, stopping with a tentative smile on his face. Reese and Ethan almost ran into him.

There was silence. I could tell the boys didn’t know what to say to me.

“I’m sorry,” I began. “I panicked. Mom came up and explained everything to me.”

I saw the three of them exchange glances. “Explained what, exactly,” Ethan as

    ETHAN REESE AND CALEB POVWe need to talk. The mind link from their father came through to the three boys simultaneously. When? Ethan answered back.Now. Their father was firm. Caleb, Reese and Ethan all left their bedrooms and met in the shared sitting room in the wing that was their own. “I wonder what’s up,” Caleb mused.“Probably has to do with Izzy,” Reese said. “We should probably hurry.” The boys traipsed down the stairs to their father’s office together. Upon entering they were surprised to see their Aunt Lissa and mom already seated.“There was a little incident between Katie and Izzy about a half hour ago,” his father stated. The boys exchanged glances.“Where?” asked Ethan. “We just left Izzy in the entrance hall about that time. She was heading to her room.”“The entrance hall,” James stated. “I’m guessing it happened right after you left.” He glanced at Aunt Lissa who was wringing her hands. “Don’t worry,” he said to her, a huge grin on his face. “My interv

    IZZY POVThe triplets followed me out of the room and Caleb closed the door firmly behind us. “I’m really proud of you,” Reese said to me. “I admire how you’re always standing up for your mom.”I looked at him with a smile. “She sacrificed everything for me,” I said, softly. “It bothers me when people don’t see her for her amazing self.” I took two steps forward and then felt a wave of heat hit me like an oven. “Do you feel that?” I asked, faltering, my voice sounding a million miles away in my head. My vision began to swim, and I heard one of the brothers exclaim very loudly. I felt hands on my body, and I tried to push them off, weakly. I was too hot. I didn’t want anyone to touch me.I blacked out, but not all the way. I was vaguely aware of being lifted, cradled in someone’s arms. I heard a hollow voice saying that I was too hot. I tried to protest, to ask for water, but I was as weak as a newborn kitten. I could feel my clothes being peeled off from my body and then

    IZZY POVI woke up to howling. The room was dark and the curtains were drawn but they moved slightly in the breeze of the open window. I had no idea how long I had slept, but I felt great. I haven’t felt this rested in a long time.I slid out of bed and padded to the window, pulling back the curtains. The full moon shone so brightly that it was almost as bright as the day. I leaned out, looking to see if I could see the animal that was howling.It wasn’t just one animal. It was hundreds. All wolves. No wonder I woke up to them. They were all over the lawn and in the tree line. Some were playing and some were running, and some were just sitting there. Every once in a while, a wolf would howl, and dozens would answer it.I stood in the window, just watching the beautiful animals. There must be a sanctuary of wolves close by because I have never even seen one in the wild, let alone hundreds. I watched quietly, enjoying the show that they were putting on until my attention w

    IZZY POVI’ve been at the Alpha House for three months. My days are pretty much filled; the mornings I train with my mom and the triplets and in the afternoon, I was working with my tutor. My birthday is a week away and I’ve given myself an early birthday present. I earned my diploma today!“Miss Emerald told me that you’ve graduated,” Aunt Luna said at dinner. I grinned at her. “Yep! No more high school for me. I’m going to start applying to colleges in a few weeks.” I forked up a big helping of spaghetti. Joanna, the cook, was amazing. She even made her own noodles. I saw the rest of the family exchange glances. I put down my fork. “What’s going on?” I asked, suspicious. “What are you planning on studying?” Caleb asked, his voice a little funny. I narrowed my eyes. Something was going on. It was like my announcement that I was going to college was a surprise. That’s just what people did. They finished high school and went to college. I couldn’t figure out what th

    Caleb, Reese and Ethan’s POV“What’s up with Katie?” Caleb asked his brothers later that night. “What do you mean?” Ethan asked. Caleb shrugged.“I don’t think she likes Izzy. She’s kind of mean to her. I’m pretty sure she deliberately tripped her today.” Caleb flopped on to the couch. Ethan took the seat opposite him and reached for the television remote. “Dude, I’m serious,” Caleb said. “Don’t turn on the TV. We need to talk about Katie.”“Why?” Ethan asked, a little sharply. Caleb rolled his eyes.“Well, for starters, she’s not very nice to Izzy.”“Izzy isn’t very nice, either,” Ethan said. “Did you catch that slutty-chic comment?”Reese laughed. “Oh, yeah. That was a good one. And deserved. Katie started it with the comments about her sweater.”“I don’t see it,” Ethan said, trying to pick up the remote again. Caleb came over and took it from him. “We all know you have a soft spot for Katie because she was your first, umm, experience,” Caleb said. “But start think

    IZZY POVI was sitting with my new girlfriends in my little sitting area. Joanna had made trays of pizza bites, cheese sticks and French fries for us to snack on. She had put some carrot sticks on the tray that we were ignoring, instead choosing the chips and popcorn to snack on between the greasy bites. We were lounging around and watching the movie Enchanted, talking at the same time and laughing at the silly scenes.It was during the scene when the main character makes a dress out of the curtains that Destiny turned to the group. “Did you guys get your dresses for the ball next week?”Sami clasped her hands to her chest. “Yes. And I love mine. We picked it out from Casey’s Couture in the village.”“Oh, I love that shop,” Lucy said. “We ordered mine online, but I wish I went there to pick it out. What are you wearing, Destiny?”“My mom saved her ball gown from when she was my age. It’s beautiful and it’s vintage. She hemmed it so I won’t trip on it and it’s a perfect fit.

Caleb looked up from the game he was playing on his phone. “What is it?” he asked.Reese looked over to make sure Ethan was paying attention. “That was Brian. He just talked to Lucy. Seems Katie was at the Casey’s Couture making trouble for Izzy.” Ethan sighed. “Could Lucy have overreacted? Maybe trying to get points with mom and dad by watching out for Izzy?”“She called Izzy a human and a Bella Swan. Told her that she wasn’t our kind and that she was a freak.”Caleb sat up. “Oh, crap,” he said. “How did Izzy take it?”Reese shrugged. “I think you and I had better go find out.” He turned to look at Ethan. “And you need to have that talk with Katie. Now.”***************ETHAN POVI called Katie and asked her to meet me in at the coffee shop as soon as possible. She was a little hesitant and I could tell that she knew that I knew what she ha

    IZZY POVI decided to get a little dressed up for dinner. I put on a long maxi skirt and a tank top with a cropped cardigan over the top. I strapped my feet into high heels, something I rarely wear, but I needed for tonight’s set up. Then I headed out to the staircase.My plan was to hang out until I heard the twins on the landing below. I would then “accidently trip” on my heels and take a tumble. If they caught me, I would know that they had the speed of a werewolf. If not, well, I would have a few bruises for sure.I have to admit, I almost abandoned my plan when I started thinking about what would happen if one of the triplets didn’t catch me. I didn’t want to go to my first dance with a broken ankle, but I was pretty sure that they were wolves. There were just too many things that didn’t make sense until you threw the werewolf card in the mix.I could hear voices in the hallway below me, so it was time, I decided. I started walking down the steps and then stopped. I cou

    EPILOGUE TALIA POV “Coming!” I answered my mom, looking in the mirror and tucking my hair behind my ear. Today was my eighteenth birthday and I was officially going to introduce my wolf to the Pack. I had technically been able to shift since I was a baby, but we had managed to keep that a secret from almost everyone, though it had been a close call a few times. My brothers were coming back from Mongolia with their mate, Zaria, and their friend, Leo, to help celebrate my birthday. They were on some sort of a mission for the Council, but they got permission to come home for this event. They were twelve years older than me and I liked to tease them about being old. They didn’t think I was as funny as I knew I was. They were cool, though, and all my friends loved my brothers. Their mate was also pretty awesome. She was the daughter of our Beta and one heck of a warrior. She went to the same camp my grandmama was accepted to. Only the best warriors are allowed to go. I ran

    IZZY POV I rubbed my swollen belly and sat down behind my desk with a sigh. Baby girl was seriously a week overdue, and I was over being pregnant. I wanted to meet my Talia and that moment couldn’t come soon enough. A lot had happened in the three months since the Summer Solstice Celebration. Elder Voltaire had officially asked permission to join our pack and he put in his retirement notice to the Vampire Council. Apparently, serving as head Council Member for three hundred years was enough for him. We gave the Blood Moon Pack to Griz and Destiny. We talked a long time about it and had first asked Leo if he was interested in taking over for his father. He had vehemently turned down our offer, insisting that he never wanted to see the Blood Moon Pack again. When we had gone to visit, I could see why. The pack needed a lot of work and there was a general sense of discourse. Griz and Destiny agreed to take on the Pack with Griz being named the first non-wolf Alpha of a Pack.

    IZZY POV“So what do you do, Elias?” Reese asked. I could see his nostrils flaring a little to see if he was a wolf. I didn’t sense a wolf in him, but I wasn’t going to ask. It was kind of like asking someone’s religion or income. If they offer the information, we could talk about it. But only if they offer it.“I’m a bounty hunter,” he said. Kat was clinging to his arm.“A supernatural bounty hunter,” she corrected. “He works for the Council, believe it or not.”Elias smiled. “Kind of. They hire me on occasion. I work for myself,” he corrected her gently.“Sorry,” she said, smiling. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. I grinned. I was so happy for my friend.“Tell us about one of your captures,” Destiny asked. She was next to Griz,

    IZZY POV“How are you doing?” I asked Destiny. We were busy hanging decorations around the backyard, and it was the first time I had a moment alone with her in a week. I knew she was feeling really guilty about Kat leaving.She shrugged. “I’m okay. I just feel awful every time I look at Griz. I never intended for her to leave. I just wanted her to be more careful.”I dropped the streamer I was holding and put my arm around her. “I know. And so does everyone else, including Kat. She just needed a change. She spent so much time and effort making sure every part of Cornelius was destroyed that she doesn’t know what to do now. She’s just trying to find her place.”Destiny sighed. “Tell Griz that. He is worried about her.”“She’s moving around pretty quickly,” I offered. “I think sh

    IZZY POVThey say a Luna’s work is never done. They’re right.I got back and had my bath and some alone time with my mates, but the pack business didn’t slow down. I was involved in the planning of the half-way house we were building as well as another youth center. I approved budgets and began working on the nursery upstairs, a room we hadn’t used in eight years. And then I began to plan the summer solstice celebration, a tradition that we had upheld since we first started it thirteen years ago.“Black and white this year?” Destiny asked. “I hate black and white,” Lucy said. “It makes everything look so formal and this should be fun.”“Okay. Black and gold?” Destiny was relentless. Lucy threw a wadded up napkin at her.“You only want black because you love it,” Lucy accused her.Destiny shrugged.&

    IZZY POVThe gavel dropped and the room exploded. I turned and Kat flew into my arms, hugging me. She wasn’t normally demonstrative, and I was pleased. I needed someone to hug right now, and Kat was perfect.She was also a great bodyguard. She pulled me through the reporters at the door and only got tripped up by one of the fae reporters who used projection to try to block us. Kat pushed him over and got me out of there and into a taxi without further incident.“Keystone Airport,” she told the taxi driver, naming a private airport. I was guessing that my mates had communicated with her.“I can’t wait to get back to the pack,” I said, leaning against the back seat. “I’m exhausted. I just want a bath and an uninterrupted night of sleep.”“I’m not going back with you,” Kat said suddenly. I sat up.“Why?

    IZZY POVThe twenty-four members of the Councils filed out, leaving me standing at my table, still in the handcuffs. Thanks to Johan, the handcuffs were the normal ones that they used in the human world which meant I could break them if I needed to, but I wasn’t going to. I wanted the shifter world to see what was going on.After the council members left, Kat walked over to me bringing a couple of chairs. She plopped them down and I gratefully sat. “Did you have a vision earlier?” she asked.I nodded, rubbing my forehead. “Was it obvious?”“To me,” she answered. “I know you. I was about ready to create a diversion.”I chuckled. “You’re a good friend,” I said. A look crossed her face for a second but then disappeared. I had said something that bothered her. Curious.Her phone chirped and she looked at it.&n

    REESE POVThere was an outburst from the spectators in the viewing area. The main werewolf and main vampire council members were banging their gavel, telling people to be quiet. We all exchanged grins.“We are not the ones on trial here, Luna,” the main vampire council member said fiercely.“No. You’re not. I am. And I am telling you why I had to do what I did,” Izzy said. She turned to the werewolf council again.“Who among you believed that the prophecy from Nehum thirteen years ago was about me?” She kept eye contact until all twelve members had their hands raised. “And who among you thought that the prophecy was also about my sons?” The same twelve hands were raised.“And the same on the vampire side?” she asked, turning. Reluctantly, some of their heads nodded. The others resolutely ignored her, keeping thei

    REESE POV“This session will now come to order.” We were watching the trial on television. The Council, in their infinite wisdom, had decided at the last minute to broadcast the trial on a special encrypted channel that Packs would have access to. We had turned it on first thing this morning when we woke up, looking at an empty room somewhere in Salt Lake. We were watching when the members from both Councils filed in, twenty-four in total. Johan was part of the werewolf council. Alessia had gasped when she saw him take his seat.They had brought Izzy in with handcuffs on. I had roared, losing control of my wolf, but Alessia had wrestled me down. “It’s for show,” she had soothed me. “They’re not silver. Just look. She’s fine. She can break them in a second.” Vin was not convinced but at least he gave me control back.“Isadora Killian, Luna of the Moonstone Pack, you were called before the Council today to answer to an entire list of charges.
