RYKER / CHRISTOPHER POV Once they leave we get on our way as well, I wanted to shift and run making it there quicker but Noah overruled me saying that we will take the SUVs as arriving in wolf form would be seen as an act of aggression and the pack would instantly be on the defensive but by arriving by SUV would be more diplomatic. I bite my tongue and get into the SUV with Noah and we start on our way. The trip there was boring, but it gave me a chance to just relax and think of both my mother and my mate. I must have dozed off because I am then woken by the SUV coming to a stop. I get out and look around as I stretch out my arms, legs, and back. I then bow my head in what would have been taken as respect but was really just being formal. "Alpha Emmett and Luna Athena, at your service, your highness. What do we owe for this surprise visit?" I notice Emmett is a little pale, but I don't say anything as I move away from King Noah, allowing him to speak to Alpha Emmett and Luna Ath

PHOENIX / SOREN POVI work my way through the rogues with Ryker by my side. I never really thought of him as anything but my son and right now I couldn't be more proud. We work together and make our way slowly over to where Silas is standing, just watching over the fighting; I take a quick look in the direction he is staring and see the most beautiful female ever, someone I haven't been able to touch for twenty years, my mate, my Butterfly, my Scarlett. I am unfortunately brought out of the miracle of her as I just see the swipe of claws coming at me, which I manage to dodge just in time. I block the next hit from the rogue in front of me. I then manoeuvre around him so that I can grab him, pull him against my chest and sink my fangs into his neck. I drink deeply and quickly before ripping out his throat. I take a quick look back towards where I saw Scarlett, but she was no longer there; I

SCARLETT POVI fight the drug that one of the Alphas had injected me with again. Both me and Cara are getting sick of these males always getting the drop on us. I may have let Silas get close to me at one stage, but that was more out of necessity than anything else. Ruth wouldn't have lasted as long as she did if we didn't. With being a mated wolf, she needed the physical contact. I carefully move and once again feel the weight of cuffs around my wrists. I sigh and move so I am leaning up against the wall. I then turn to Cara. "Hey, how are you feeling?" "I feel much better. I am sorry about the bloodlust and not being able to stay on top of it!" "Cara, it is fine. It was to be expected as we had been without real blood for so long and then with the trauma of the miscarriage... Cara, how did they?? After so long keeping him from get

RYKER POVCater and I travel for weeks, moving from one pack to the next. I don't show that I am searching for Isabella. I want the Alpha that took her to relax, thinking that I don't care. I, however, always find a quiet place within the pack territory and allow Christopher a small amount of control, allowing our gift to spread throughout the entire pack so that if she has been anywhere in the area, I will know about it. I have been trying to connect with Isabella since he took her, but the mate link has been blocked telling me that he has silver on or around her, preventing that. I have also tried reaching out to her in my dreams like we were doing before I met and then that once after we mated. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked. I am thinking that she is not allowing herself to fall into a proper sleep therefore, she wouldn't dream. We had arrived at the New Moon pack this afternoon and I was doing my nightly inspec

RYKER POVShe nods as we get to the rail; I climb over first and then help her over we jump together; I shift as soon as my feet leave the balcony and give control over to Christopher; I know what is going on and I am impressed with what Ryker came up with covering for the female I wonder what Cater came up with. I land on all four paws, turn and watch as the female that was in my room jumps, shifts and lands next to me. Carter then jumps, shifts, lands and joins us, and then the female that was with him jumps, shifts and lands, she fumbles a little but gets back to her feet and makes her way over to us. I nod my head and they follow suit, I then turn and run with them following.I make us stop once as my gift picks up a residue of a scent. I then move us over just a little to go around. I then pick up the pace so we are not late. We get to the Northern border just before dawn. I let out a low howl and wait, but it isn’t long
