WYATT’S POV  As soon as I walked in the door her scent hit me. She was standing with Xander but once she saw me her eyes lit up and she came to me, slamming into me with a force that had Narvi practically jumping for joy.  “I missed you too Sugar,” I smirked at her as I pushed her up against the wall and claimed her perfect lips as mine. My chest rumbled as her jasmine scent drove me wild, it pumped me full of energy as her sexy sandalwood scent made me want to rip her clothes off and taste that sweet honey-filled arousal. “Where’s Alaric,” she pouted as I kissed down her neck. “We’ll get you warmed up,” I slipped my hand up her shirt and massaged her perfect breast. “No,” she surprised me as she pushed my hand

BRIANNA’S POV CON’TLarissa was tucked behind the Beta and looked sick to her stomach as the bars to the cell began to rattle. Octavia was fully concentrating until the cell door popped open enough to slip out of without touching. It was second nature as I shifted leaving the cage, the pain of shifting no longer present in any way, and I bound through the trees with no guide to where I was going other than his scent. My lungs felt like I couldn’t breathe as I waited to see him, to know that he was ok, I would have felt it if he was more than hurt, but who knew what kind of danger he could be in. Artemis slowed her pace as his scent became overpowering, and as we stalked through the edge of the treeline, there he was. Arche was flinging another wolf into a tree, blood had covered his front leg, dripping from an open wound in his shoulder,

ALARIC’S POV CON’T Artemis shifted her head in the slightest, as if to challenge the Alpha’s stance, to which he responded by shifting back into his human form. As Dez and Orion came out of the treeline it dawned on me that Samuel must have been trying to attack me, they would have handled it, but Artemis wasn’t pleased.  Nicholi took over Ryan, dropping him to his knees and holding him in position as Wyatt and Xander approached Artemis and I joined them, approaching her from the side as she shifted back to human form.  “Name,” Brianna commanded the Alpha in a tone I hadn’t heard come from her before. “Brianna,” I tried to draw her attention and caution her, this wasn’t just any wolf that was going to attack me, this was an Alpha, THE Alpha, that threatened

BRIANNA’S POVEvery breath I took during Octavia’s speech felt unreal, it was hard to take in that any of this was true, never mind true, of me. My mates were looking at me with complete adoration as my heart was threatening to explode with the love I felt for them. We had waited for answers, for things to make complete sense, and now, they did. My dad’s death, his sacrifices and Dez’s were all for something amazing, a gift from the Moon Goddess, a gift to me. I wouldn’t have to hide anything about myself, I could tell my mates all the missing pieces later, and we could finally be happy, together. No one could take me from them now, no one could take them from me. A tear rolled from my cheek as Octavia finished, dropping my hand and to her knee. My mates surrounded me like t

Alaric’s voice gave no hint of regret when he talked of renouncing their titles, only pausing to affirm that to me as we locked eyes, “This is still your pack, but we are royals, so I suppose they would be our Seconds, and we could have up to four, but I’d be happy with two.” “This is still OUR pack,” I corrected him, “we are mates, and I don’t want there to be differences in the hierarchy between us, you have parts of me running through you,” I ran my fingers over my marks, “I am yours, and you are mine. We rule together, we decide together, we carry out things together, agreed?” "Yes my Queen," the boys all sounded together and made me laugh."Let's get started on making those heirs," Wyatt winked down at me as we approached the house.
