Carina's POVIt was hard to believe the day had finally arrived. They were officially moving out of the packhouse and heading out on their world travels. It was time to say goodbye to an adventure that started over twenty-five years ago. She remembered first arriving in the Kalaloch territory and feeling overwhelmed. It was so different than her midwestern pack. Her home pack had been a lot smaller and less structured. She was very intimidated by the thought of being Luna to such a large, established pack. It made her chuckle now to think back on it. She had since ruled as Luna of the pack, raised her pups, and supported her Alpha. Bran had been an excellent Alpha and mate. He was tenacious, intelligent, and well respected. Now their son had taken over, and she was comforted to know her pack would be in competent hands. She was proud of the people both Duncan and Tatiana had become. Her only concern was whether Tatiana would find her place. Carina could tell from the fi

Tatiana’s POV Both Luca and Duncan left before Tatiana woke up the next day. Sadie was in the kitchen when she went to grab a coffee. Sadie eyed her when she entered the room, but remained silent. “If you are going to lecture me, Luna please wait until I have had my coffee.” Tia grumbled. Sadie rolled her eyes. “I have no intention of lecturing you. It is between you and your brother, but you guys better work it out. I will not let you guys tear this pack apart.” Tia went back upstairs to the office. She kneeled on the floor and started picking up paperwork. Duncan trashed it completely. She felt terrible pushing him to that point, but she couldn’t abandon the rogues in the Village. They were a part of her. Duncan was also a big part of her. He wouldn’t force her to choose, would he? Tatiana was so busy working, and she did not hear Duncan return until she felt his eyes on her from the doorway. He leaned against the door

Duncan’s POVDuncan arrived back at the pack house in time for dinner. He quickly checked in with the patrols before heading inside. The borders still quiet, he plodded into the kitchen. Already seated at the table, Ryder complained about attending school, Tia was teasing him, and Luca looked on bemused. One day until the Alpha meeting, and Duncan’s first time hosting. The whole thing had him on edge. Vex’s pack was eerily quiet. He had a hard time concentrating on the conversation at the table. It became abundantly clear when he looked up to find everyone staring at him, waiting for a reply when he didn’t realize they had asked him a question. “Sorry, I’m distracted. What was the question?”“Clearly.” said Sadie. Tatiana snorted before coming to his rescue. “Duncan’s had a busy day. Sadie told Ryder you supported him going back to school.”

Duncan’s POV Duncan looked at Justin. “You and Colson have the second and third largest populations of rogues in your area. Will you do your part to ensure their safety?” Justin nodded. “I will.” Duncan looked at Colson. “I will.” “And the rest of you, whose prepared to support the laws of the Pack Alliance?” As Duncan glanced in their direction, they all said, “Aye.” When he looked at Dylan, he asked, “What about Mora? Are you prepared to uphold the laws of the Pack Alliance?” “Aye.” Duncan stopped in front of Vex and looked him squarely in the eyes. “Vex, I know where you stand. We don’t need to pretend for the others. If I find out you’re responsible for an unprovoked rogue attack, I will make it my mission to bring you to justice at the tribunal. I am watching you.” Vex sneered and glanced at Naren. Duncan leaned in closer until he was face to face with Vex. “Make no mistake, I

Chapter Thirty NineVex arrived back in his territory as the sun set. His meeting with Alpha Dylan from Mora pack went better than he expected, thanks in part to Duncan’s posturing at the Alpha meeting. It was not clear who he despised more. The fucking rogue princess Kalaloch put on a pedestal or their holier than thou Alpha. Vex followed Tatiana to the rogue village on multiple occasions, but the Zeta always escorted her. He knew one day he would get her alone, and when he did, she would not walk away from it. Going after Duncan would be too risky, but losing his rogue pet would bring him to his knees. Vex relished the thought. As he entered the pack house, his mate, Daisy, was making dinner. He sat at the table and watched her sweet ass as she darted around the room. She went to the refrigerator and brought him a beer. He slapped her butt and pulled her down onto his lap so she could feel his hard on. She jumped up and said she had
