ALPHA POVI wake in the morning to Moira's small knock on our door."Yes, Moira. Come in," I say, standing up in yesterday's shorts and dirt."Breakfast is ready, Alpha," she says before stopping in her tracks when she sees me."Alpha, did you sleep while dirty," Little Moira asks while chuckling at me.I glare at her. Of course, I did. I needed rest, not cleanliness. Being clean does nothing to help you survive. She begins to laugh hard at my expression."Stop laughing," I order immediately.She stops and smiles at me. "Alpha, please shower. The pack expects you to be clean and presentable. They will already be worried that Emmett is not in control," she says reasonably and respectfully.I nod my head at her words. She is entirely right. The pack will be worried.I shower and dress our human form in workout clothes: breathable shorts and a tank top. I want our body on display when we see Lisa again. I will make our mate drool wi

LISA POVI am antsy for five 'o'clock to get here. I need to apologize to Emmett. Hopefully, his wolf part won't be in control this time. However, his wolf is somehow calming to me.He is straightforward. He explains Emmett's and his emotions without hesitation. His explanation has me hating myself, though. Emmett has been nothing but kind. When he overreacted with Wayne, he apologized in front of his pack, which was incredible for an Alpha.My crew's progress today is steady, and we are back on schedule, even with the rogue delay from yesterday. I am hoping that will ease Emmett into forgiving me easier.Finally, 4:45 arrives, and we pack up. I shoot Scott a text about meeting at the gym and wait for Emmett. I try to control myself, but my eyes scan the road for his fantastic form over and over again. Scott doesn't message back, which I find to be weird. He usually replies immediately, almost in a creepy twin way.Finally, I see someone approaching the

LISA POVEmmett is already so upset his wolf is in control, and last night I beat one of his pack members. Even with the mate bond, I might have overstepped and lost us the job. "Scott, no one has called from Riverstone right," I ask my brother after Wayne leaves the room from signing his disciplinary. "No, why," Scott replies while filing away Wayne's paperwork. "I'm scared I put the job in jeopardy, Scott. I umm...was extremely disrespectful to Emmett two days ago, and last night with your booty call, I went way overboard. He might not tolerate me on the site anymore," I say while throwing my body into an office chair. I didn't even want to look at Scott. He was probably pissed. "Lis, just apologize, and you know wolves are kinda violent. They handle things a lot like you do, physically. She has wolf abilities Lis. She is probably already healed," Scott says, completely surprising me. My eyes shoot to my

LISA POVTwo weeks laterEmmett and I have been on three memorable dates. The mate bond is solid now. He isn't even able to stay away from the job site for more than two hours at a time. He seems tense until he sees me working.Rogues have attacked Emmett's territory twice. After each attack, I have seen Clint drag a single wolf towards the packhouse. The wolf is ordinarily unconscious. Emmett informed me that the rogues are trying to recruit for their war with the hunters. After the last law was passed declaring wolves to be equal citizens, the number of hunters has tripled.It makes my stomach turn that humans kill entire wolf families. They do not care what age; they only see an animal. How anyone could see an innocent child as an animal is beyond me. Emmett said hunters have not been a problem for his pack for many years. And rogues must just be getting desperate for new warriors.Scott has been helping on the job site, but he doesn't visit the pack

LISA POVAfter taking a fantastic shower and ordering supplies for Twin Construction, I decide it is time for bed. I slip into a pair of Scott's old shorts and a tank top. When my head touches my pillow, I'm out.My dream was different.***I am standing in a field of white flowers. Thousands of wolves are running all around. They don't seem real. They each have a ghostly appearance to them. Many stop and look at me when I decide to start looking around. I walk for a long time, and as I walk, the wolves begin to follow me. Some even let me touch their fur as they walk beside me.Finally, I arrive at a flowing stream. I decide to enjoy the calm and sit down. The wolves scatter around me. They, to lounge. But they seem to be waiting for something. I turn my attention to the steam. It flows at a medium pace and makes a calming noise. The steams water looks completely untouched. It is crystal clear and perfect.Woman- Lisa, what too
