SCOTT POVI wake up early. Honey and cinnamon have filled my room. The smell is intoxicating, and it is pouring from the delicate flower in my arms. I feel strange. All my senses are heightened. The room looks clearer. I can hear Lisa in the kitchen, and I can even smell her.I untangle myself from Moira slowly, kissing her forehead before my feet land on the floor. I pull on a pair of sweatpants and exit my room as quietly as possible. Once I am in the hall, I am hit with a masculine presence. I sniff the air and find a strong pine scent mixed with honeysuckle.My instincts immediately tell me who the scent belongs to, Emmett. Shit, I'm dead. I walk to the kitchen silently. Preparing for my death. Lisa is the only one I see, so I slowly relax."Morning Lis," I say curiously. Lis is rarely ever here in

EMMETT POVI sigh as I drop into my chair. Alpha feels drained from having to end Ryan's suffering. Lisa rubs my shoulders with steady hands."She named their pup Joel," I say, wanting to talk about something positive but finding nothing."That's a good name. You said he gets a family," she asks with a curious tone."Orphan pups are quite rare for our pack. The last rogue attack was when I was 18 and Moira was 15. But even from that attack, we only had a few orphans. There are about 11 mated couples that just absolutely adore kids. So we set up a system. We rotate the couples and place children when they need it. I prefer that then an orphanage. Now, if we ever get an abundance of orphans, of course, we will have to change the system," I explain while rolling a pen around on my desk, enjoying her massage.

LISA POVI can't believe a slutty little wolf thought she could touch my brother. Alpha Karen's she-wolves must be complete whores.And I can't believe Little miss Alpha Karen thought she could undermine me and speak to my mate so informally. Linda has taught me Alphas are always called Alpha, except by family members or their mates. Shoot, even Clint, Mike, and Lance call Emmett Alpha. And they are his closest friends."Let's go for a run, love. We need it. Then after you can go work on school work. Take some time and relax. We will have couples gym time tonight," Emmett says, stroking my hair lovingly."A run sounds amazing. Linda is extra energetic today," I say, pecking his waiting lips.I loved how he hadn't spared Karen even a glance when he sided with me

R RATEDEMMETT POVHow can she be so perfect? So strong? She stands there getting congratulated by three strong Alphas and has over 700 wolves all admiring the ground she walks on.My manhood twitches. This perfect creature is ours. Suddenly I don't want her around anyone. Jealousy and lust pricks at my skin. She is standing primarily naked in front of hundreds of eyes. I can smell many unmated males' arousal, and it makes Alpha growl in our head.Lisa meets my hungry gaze with a knowing smirk. She can feel my arousal through the bond. The knowledge alone has me repeating history. I grab her and fling her over my shoulder. Riverstone wolves erupt into cheers."Emmett, my butt is showing," she says with a smile in her voice. I growl and shift her into a bridal hold.

R RATEDTHIRD PERSONThe vampires move so fast. Splitting through the wolves, killing as they go. Rogues and Warriors alike, they don't care. Alpha shouts loudly, barking orders to the inexperienced wolves.Riverstone has never had a vampire as an enemy."Go for their hearts!" "Form circles!" "Protect each other!"Lisa and Moira are put in the middle of a very protected circle. Lance, Mike, Clint, Scott, and Alpha demolish attacking rogues with ease. The vampires seem to be targeting the confused wolves first. One female vamp approaches quickly, but Clint rips her heart out. A male Vampire screeches in pain.He moves at heightened speeds going for Clint, but Alpha blocks him. He does an elegant spin move avoiding Alpha's huge hand that reaches for his heart. He lands in the circle dashing towards Moira.Scott growls loudly. His arms are full. He has a struggling rogue in wolf form by the neck. The vampire doesn't slow down. He shots his hand out to rip Moira's precious heart out of her
