Alpha Keen POV   I didn’t think I would miss her as much as I am, but now that I’m standing in the ballroom greeting guest, I notice myself glancing at the stairs every few moments. When I get a hint of the scent my heart starts to race, and when I see her come into view at the top of the stairs everything besides her fades into the background. I can’t tare my eyes away from and in that moment it’s as if it’s only her and I, and as my Queen elegantly prowls down the stairs towards me she takes my breath away.   My smile is beaming at my mate, but as I’m about to walk towards her I catch mood shifting as a frown replaces her smile. I can’t help but become confused as I mouth to her ‘what’s wrong?’ She glares at me moving her eyes the spot to the right of me, and I glance to my right coming inches away from Madison’s face. She has an inhuman smirk that looks like she’s just claimed her first kill, and that kill is me. Her sadistic smile grows

Alpha Keen POV   This is seriously fucked up, and it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that the Royal Coven manipulated us into doing exactly what they wanted. My father had sent my mate and the future Luna away from our pack so she would be safe, but really he had sent her away without knowing that’s exactly what the people threatening her wanted. That King didn’t want her bonding with any of us so she wouldn’t have any ties to our pack when he came and stole her away in the night like a proper thief.   I didn’t want to leave Gemma alone with the mystery woman who claimed to be her sister, but I made sure Delta Everett was standing guard with two of my best warriors. I know it probably hurt my Rose bud, but I really don’t want to ever loose control of myself around her.   Gemma’s dad was handling Madison down in the dungeons, and I thought informing him of what his mate did to her own daughter probably wasn’

Gemma POV   Yes, I was glowing, but not in the dewy beautiful way that naturally magnificent women do. It was more of a luminescence that was radiating out of me lighting up a small area around me. “Jennifer, when will this whole glowing thing stop?” She looks at me puzzled, like I had just asked her the dumbest question. “Sorry I keep forgetting you’re not educated on the supernatural world. It will dissipate when you want it to, I mean it is your powers that radiate the light not something else.” I cock my head side ways at her, “just close your eyes and sense your power. Hell most neophytes give their powers a color so do that. Do you have a color?” I nod “yellow seems like most appropriate.” She laughs “sure okay, now as you sense it let it take shape slowly so you can feel it’s full range of power. When you get the full picture of it’s power slowly start to shrink it’s reach, condensing your power into a small ball. Visualize a treasure chest or a safe, and

Westley POV   If it wasn’t bad enough that I got a small taste of what having a fated mate truly felt like, but now I had to watch that mate who I still feel bonded to get manhandled by my womanizer brother. She is so pure, innocent, perfect, and William wasn’t worthy to breathe the air she breathes let alone touch her gorgeous skin. She should be appreciated and treated like the Queen that she truly is, but with a mate like Alpha William Keen all she’s going to get is a narcissist that will forget she’s special after he’s gotten what he wanted.     I heard her half-sister talking to her about the importance of being mated and marked tonight incase the Coven King is successful at kidnapping her. Over my dead body is our asshole Alpha going to taint what should be mine. He’s not going to ruin the plan that my father and I came up with after Williams poor treatment of her when she arrived. She will be mine, and I think I’ve proved that I

Westley POV From the moment we all entered my brother’s office something felt off. When my father was adamant about discussing the Tai Jitu Wolves even though Gemma is still in danger I knew he was up to something. Counsel member Matthew’s behavior was usually methodical, which usually meant that he was ten step ahead or he already knew your next move. We hadn’t told anyone outside of our elite circle about Gemma’s sister or her possible kidnapping. That’s probably why Matthew thought it was as good of a time as any to give us his knowledge now on our bonded wolves. Council member Matthew spoke robotically as he taught us about Tai Jitu wolves, “It is said that when a great power is gifted upon a werewolf balance must be restored to not allow the world to plummet into chaos. Gemma and Westley are like Yin and Yang, one without the other can be deadly. We have been trying to find as much knowledge about as
