Alpha Keen POV Whoever was able to breech my security system was either someone who was a master at hacking, or one of the few people with access to the packs security system. I needed to keep this quite and close to my chest until I know more. This needed to be investigated as quickly and quietly as possible, and that meant that i had to rely on at least one other person to help me. Thinking about the possible suspect list was fucking depressing, because there were only five other people who had enough access to the security system to be able to pull this off. I knew if I slowed down to think about my mate being missing, or the possiblity of her being in the hands of another man it would send me into an Alpha rage. I didn't have time to deal with that right now, and I really didn't want anyone to know that my Rose bud was gone. Someone within this house took my mate for Goddess only knows, and anyone involved was going to pay with their liv

Gemma POV I drop the blanket from my shoulders and bound towards him needing to feel his soothing electric touch. “I knew you would find us Keen, I’ve missed you so much!” His arms open ushering me to be wrapped in his embrace, but there aren’t any sparks electrifying my skin. I try not to think about it as my mate stares at me with a gaze that holds a possessive protectiveness, but also a tender admiration which should be conflicting, but they aren’t. He doesn’t lean in to kiss me like normal, but when I lean into him reaching on my tip toes to meet his lips. I only brush my lips against his softly before pulling back to look into his eyes, and I can see his self-control snap in that moment. Before I can over think his unusual behavior he pulls me harder into his chest looking into my eyes with a lustful need I’ve never seen making my heart begin fluttering against my rib cage. The intensity his eye

Alpha Keen POV By 8:30am my office is once again filled with all my elite members, but besides my Beta and his mate Jennifer no one knows the real reason were here. As I was setting up the meeting with everyone that we thought could be involved, the two of them set up the plan for how we could expose our rat or rats. I try to study everyone’s body langue as they enter my office trying to see if someone is acting differently, but besides being everyone being annoyed nothing seems out of the ordinary. My father and mother are the first to enter with my father acting like the arrogant Alpha he is by questioning Andy about what is going on. That’s normal though but my mother takes her place beside him with a sorrow filled expression that piques my interest, because that’s usually an expression she only has when he’s hiding something. The other two elite pack members enter like normal but looking more

Alpha William POV The Coven King and I stare one another down as we both contemplate our next steps in our pursuit of Gemma. The Coven King looks like he is ready to scorch the earth if I don’t hand him his “property” over, and to be frank I am sick of myself and everyone thinking of her as something we can own. In our pack we are raised to believe that our fated mates are ours not only to take ownership of, but to love and take care of for the rest of our lives. A long the way my ego took over, and I forgot that she wasn’t just mine to possess but to take care of by loving her the way she deserves. I’ve definitely been the shitty mate who only took ownership of the gift the Goddess gave me, I took advantage of our sacred bond one she had no clue even existed doing so without even giving one thought to how that would feel, and I all but forgot that while I may claim her as Mine I was supposed to allow her to tru

Westley POV   As I hold Gemma in my arms trying to come down from the most mind-blowing sex of my entire life her scream startles me as I turn around to notice six seriously pissed off people standing in the doorway. As her scream rings in my ears, I quickly react to the two males that are charging towards our bed. I pull out of the Goddess beneath me as I quickly move to push her completely behind me as I growl at the intruders.   I don’t recognize any of these people, and as I am studying each one to assess Gemma’s safety the only woman in their group speaks. “Alpha Keen I know your in pain and upset, but by the way they are looking at us something is very wrong here.” Stops his movement and nods at the female before the other charging enraged male abruptly halts and speaks. “I know magic and the two of them reek of dark blood magic, and by the way he is protecting her she is about to be in heat.” The British man says after
