TINA POVClan leader Ricardo was nice enough to give me a room to stay in for the night. It was strange I have never felt safe sleeping in a place I don’t know, but here I had the best night's sleep I have ever had. Maybe it was because I knew that my father finally couldn't join me in the middle of the night. I had a shower and Glen’s mate Danna, I finally found out her name, lent me one of her sundresses.I exit the room and head to where Ricardo told me the kitchen was. I stand in the doorway and just watch. It was like any normal morning at the packhouse. Kids ran in and out, grabbing breakfast on the way out the door to do whatever they had planned for the day. Danna sees me and says,“Good morning Tina, would you like some breakfast before you head back to your pack?”“Yes, I would love some. What’s on offer?”“Well, we have all sorts of cereal, which the kids seem to love. We have Bacon, Eggs, Waffles, Toast, Pancakes or I can cook anything else you would like?”“Can I just hav

TINA POVI turn on the shower, wait for it to warm and motion for her to enter, “He’s your brother, he looks like the Alpha… is he his son?? Does that mean you are?..”I sigh, “Yes he is the Alpha’s son and I am his daughter..” She tenses“But we are not like him. He has tried to shape us the way he wants, especially to hate vampires, but there are things we do not agree with him on and an example of that is how he treated you last night. He told you he hadn’t been with anyone for twenty years, didn’t he?”“Y... Yes, just before he stripped me of my sweatpants... And then again when he released his pleasure.” I see her shiver.“I can tell you it was not twenty years ago. It was a couple of days, more or less. He does it to nearly every female he can get his hands on, and if no one else is available, he prefers to use me. Stefan has tried to protect me from him but can’t be with me twenty-four hours a day. I am sorry he did this to you.”“You said you did as I asked, so what is your ve

TINA POVWhile Alpha and Stefan are out on the rogue call, King Noah arrives.“Your Highness! Thank you for coming!” I bow before him.“Tina, it is good to see you again…. Tina, come closer, please!”I take a couple of steps closer. I lower my eyes as my wolf demands me to respect our King. He puts his fingers under my chin and gets me to look up at him.“So if this is how he treats his daughter… Tina, how is he treating Princess Scarlett?”I lower my eyes again. “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I couldn’t protect her last night… Scarlett asked me to visit a vampire clan to show me that what Alpha Wade says about them is not the truth...”“It is okay. Tina, I was with King Dominic when Scarlett asked for permission for you to do that. Where is he holding her?”“He is keeping her at the old packhouse, as no one likes going there after my mother was killed.”“Tina? We are on our way back now… I just know Alpha is going to want to go straight for the princess as soon as he gets the chance... I

THEODORE POVWe knew that some of the pack members wouldn’t like too many vampires around and that they wouldn’t believe that Seraphina was a werewolf, so Phoenix and I stayed at the edge of the woods just waiting. I was keeping an eye on security but I was also watching Phoenix who had his eyes on Scarlett, I can tell he was trying very hard not to run out there and wrap his arms around her, hold her tight, never let her go and I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t.I listen to what is going on in the circle. I see Seraphina shift. She shakes her fur out like she always does and then howls. As per our agreement, Phoenix and I exit the woods with Seraphina’s spare clothes in hand. Phoenix is still watching Scarlett, and she is stealing glances at him whenever she can as well. I wish I had that.Watching all my friends find their mates is making me dream of maybe one-day finding mine. We shield Seraphina as she shifts back and puts on the spare sundress. We then flank Seraphina as she

SCARLETT POVI wasn’t paying much attention to what Noah was saying. I could feel that Phoenix was nearby, and I was looking around for him, but I was doing it as discreetly as I could. Then I heard Noah say,“Unless Princess Scarlett would like a shot at the males first?”I stand up straighter and remove my arm from around Tina. I walked slowly toward Noah. I bowed slightly to Noah, showing my respect. I smile as he does the same. I walk over and stand in front of Dan. I punch him in the nose. I hear the crack of it breaking and smile. I move over to Andy; I punch him in the nose, and the sound of it breaking was kind of satisfying. I then move on to the former Alpha. I so want to hit him, but then Cara whispers to me,“Scar, we need blood. He didn’t give us enough to even put a small dent in what we need to heal. He is an Alpha. As long as you don’t kill him, we can use the healing power in his blood to be back at full strength in no time.”“That Cara is a great idea.” I walked beh
