Chapter 21 - Xander
I can feel the unease and fear rolling down the matebond from Arya. Looking at her, her face is schooled to perfection. You can’t see any of the whirling emotions on her features and it scares me that she lived through something that required her to be able to cover her emotions like this. I hadn’t left Arya’s side from comforting her earlier. Without thinking, I pick her up, sit in her seat, and pull her into my lap. At first, she seems startled and starts to pull away. But when Devin puts a hand on her thigh and gives her his best puppy dog eyes, she smiles at us and melts into my chest.
Zak clears his throat, drawing our attention back to the rest of the room. “Arya, I’m not sure how Mathias ran things, but here, we’re family. I’m just Zak. And these are my mates, Brandon and Charlie.”

Bastardo malvado (Evil bastard!)! Mathias is even worse than I thought he was. How could he do this to one of his pack members, let alone someone he professed to love? It confirmed some rumors that had made their way to my ears from spies, rogues, and escapees of the Blue Crescent Pack. This Arya is a fierce warrior, deserving of the utmost respect. Not only had she survived all of Mathias’s brutality, but she had managed to hand us a spy in the process. Increíble (Incredible). “Of course, Arya. You are basically already a sister to us. But after the meeting, we’ll make it official.” Zak’s voice is warm towards his newest member.&nb

Well, didn’t think anyone would ever call creepy Lucille a pervert. Damn, Meredith is awesome! When we finally settled down, Arya took a deep breath and told us what happened. “On the night of Mathias’s ascension to alpha, his father rejected his mother. She was a choice mate and they had never actually marked each other. She wasn’t really the luna, just the alpha’s...woman? There was even talk in the pack of not allowing Mathias to become alpha until his parents were fully marked and mated. Mathias’s father ended that talk quickly and with blood. “That night, his father also renounced his affiliation with the pack and became rouge. It was a huge scandal and it crushed Mathias’s mother. Apparently, she was in love with his father. She committed suicide that night.

Zak pulls out an official looking document from a drawer in the table and passes it to Gael. “I drew this up when you said that you were coming. It’s a standard alliance agreement: we’ll help each other in the event of war, disease, shortages, etc., the alliance can only be dissolved under the circumstances of death or change of leadership or events so severe that it will cause pain or hardship to one or both packs to maintain the alliance, frequent visits between packs, and all the other stuff.”Gael looks over the paper before turning to Hakeem “¿Tienes una pluma? (Do you have a pen?)Hakeem digs in his bag, pulls out a pen, and hands it to Gael.I think that Gael is going t
War of Threes Chapter 25 - Arya
That was...unexpected. I have never met any other alphas like Zak and Gael. They actually seemed to care about their people and not just about how their people reflected on them. My father, though a good man, was very much a ruler. He expected his people to listen to him without question and he rarely gave them a voice to say what they thought. Even when asking for counsel from his leadership, there were specific things that he wanted to hear and they knew it. It was not wise to anger my father.But Zak and Gael seemed to love their people as their family. They were definitely the head of their respective families, but more similar to a doting father figure than as the royalty that many alphas believe themselves to be. They made decisions based on what was best for their people and they looked for friendship and understanding before loyalty and obedience.
War of Threes Chapter 26 - Meredith
Hakeem and I leave the meeting room and head back to the cottage. Although the war is important, we just mated. There is a lot of bonding that needs to be done and I have been too long without feeling one of my mates touching me. “So, when can I become a part of your pack?” I ask. Hakeem places his hand on my ass, squeezing lightly as we walk across the lawn, our front door in sight. “I don’t know if we have to have our oracle bless the union or if any oracle can do that. That’s more your wheelhouse than mine.” “Mmmmm. I’ll have to ask Lucille.” I say, preparing to mindlink her as we climb the steps to the cottage door. “Not yet, Merry. I plan to keep you busy for a while.” Hakeem’s hand cups one of my breasts, while the other digs
War of Threes Chapter 27 - Xander
Fighting the mating urge is harder this time around, as I can feel all three of our internal struggles to not touch each other. But I need to see my mom. I haven’t seen much of her since we got here with everything that has happened between becoming Delta, mating Devin, and being rejected by Arya. But having talked to her earlier and knowing that she is cured by the Goddess’s grace, I have to see her. And she needs to meet my second mate.That is how we came to stand at the pack hospital, outside her room on the ICU ward. Wolves typically rarely stay on this ward for more than a few days because of our healing abilities. But, since Mom isn’t a wolf, she has a more permanent room set up here, especially since she has been doing chemo since she got here last week.Artemis Pack has been amazing for
War of Threes Chapter 28 - Gael
I watch through a crack in the door as my mates undress, peppering kisses on exposed skin. Fuck, this turns me on. Having been with Hakeem for two years, watching him undress, shower, jerk himself off has been the voyeuristic stuff of dreams. But watching him and nuestra princesa (our princess) together? Ay, Diosa mía, podría cum en mis pantalones! (Oh, my Goddess, I could cum in my pants!). Meredith pushes Hakeem slightly so that he is sitting on the bed. She kisses him deeply, reaching to the floor to pick up a bottle of caramel syrup. Apparently, the one fault that nuestra princesa
War of Threes Chapter 29 - Arya
Walking back from the pack hospital, I feel a new lightness that I haven’t felt in a long time. I’m part of a new pack, one that seems to respect and accept me. I have two amazing mates who have done nothing but protect and care for me. And I now have in-laws. A whole family, complete and ready to love me.I just hope that it’s not too good to be true.Or that Mathias doesn’t come in and ruin it.“What’s with the sudden sadness, Ari?” Xander asks, squeezing my hand in his.I look up into his chocolate eyes and nearly melt at the love, concern, and devotion in his eyes. I stop walking and lean my head on his shoulder. “Nothing. Just old insecurities rearing their ugly heads.”
