ALPHA CALLAN’s POVAs soon as Raina contacted me, I started heading toward Club 11. I brought Rollo forward and shifted in midstride. I knew that there had been rogues spotted in the area, but until Raina’s report from the club, we had no idea that they were actually in our territory.My worst fears were confirmed when Raina said that the rogues were looking for a red wolf. While there was no way for the rogues to know that Raina was the red wolf, it would not surprise me if they tried to capture all wolves with red hair until they found the red wolf. I alerted the patrol on that side of the territory.  Unfortunately, they were farther away from the club than was ideal, and it would take them several minutes to arrive.“Lizzie, where are you?” I mind-linked Lizzie, hoping that she was out of the club already.“I am outside of Club 11.” Lizzie’s voice shook with fear. I could only assume that she had either al

The Alphas and Betas continued to talk, speculating as to why someone would want me and how they would want to use my abilities. I tuned them out. A plethora of emotions rushed through me. On the surface, I felt guilty for what I had done to Alpha Michael. All of his response to me was an elicited response. While he could very well have some sort of attraction to me, it was highly likely that even his initial approach to me was elicited by the emotional and sexual appeal of my red wolf.That led to confusion, as I questioned my relationship with Nathan. The initial interactions with him were amazing and felt as if a real connection was made. But that day in the forest clearing was definitely different. I knew that when I kissed him that day, I had a hard time controlling my desire, and it made me wonder if I had influenced him to act in a certain way. I liked Nathan, but if I was going to have any more interactions with him, I would need to be certain to not influence him in

ALPHA MICHAEL POV “Tell me again how long you are staying?” Alpha Callan asked, a clear look of annoyance across his face. I laugh, amused that  was annoying him so much. “I am leaving tomorrow to get Elder Rosemarie. But, I will be back, we need to figure out what is going on with these rogue attacks and the threats against Raina.” I smiled, just briefly, as I said her name. The bewitching red-head had completely mesmerized me. Even after discovering what happened at the club, I was still beguiled. Going on the run after leaving Callan’s office had helped to clear my head. I had used the time to attempt to regain control. At the end of the run, I had decided that I would still love to have a chance to taste Raina’s sweet lips and touch her skin. Allured from Raina or not, she was still one of the most stunning women I had ever seen. I could only hope that my mate was half as beautiful as Raina. “I see what you are thinking, Michael. I have known you a l

After saying my goodbyes to Lizzie, I found myself nearly sprinting back to the packhouse, Nathan trailing behind me. Nathan finally caught up to me as we approached the packhouse. “Raina, Alpha Callan has indicated that Elder Rosemarie is waiting for you out on the back patio.” He grabbed my hand as he spoke.  “Good luck.” He pulled me in for a quick hug. He kissed me briefly and I paused at the kiss and then kissed him back. He smiled at the kiss and I felt a calming run through me. I headed around the back of the packhouse. I could hear voices as I neared the back patio. Alpha Callan, Beta Davis, Beta Jack, and Elder Rosemarie were all sitting around a fire on the patio. Alpha Callan noticed me approaching and stopped speaking, making eye contact with me as I approached. “Elder Rosemarie, it looks like Raina has arrived.” The others turned to look at me as I arrived at the patio, a wave of shyness washed over me as all four wolves looked at me.

The sound of dripping water was the only thing that I could hear. My hands were bound behind me and my eyes were covered. There was some sort of gag in my mouth. I tried to reach Lela, but there must be silver somewhere on me, as I was unable to reach her. From the smell, I could only assume that I was in some sort of cell, as the smell of dirt was overwhelming. My head was pounding and sore. I must have been hit on the back of my head when the rogues attacked in the forest.Desperate to be able to see, I began rubbing my head along the wall. The pain in my head made it difficult, as the pressure needed to even attempt to move the blindfold sent a shooting pain through my head. The fabric got caught on a jagged edge on the wall and moved slightly. Exhaustion ran through me, but I was determined to get the blindfold off. I fought with the blindfold for several minutes, becoming frustrated when I accidentally pulled it back down. I became angry and the tears started to flow. In
