Alpha Sebastian POV I awake in the morning with Alanis lying beside me in a deep sleep. She looks so peaceful. I run my fingers through her hair and kiss her softly on the cheek. I feel like last night was a breakthrough for her. She was able to release her pain. I know that it is not over, but I feel like so much progress was made with simply letting her know that I am here for her and want to help her heal. I want her to heal and be able to have a relationship with me in every way as mates, husband and wife, together. Since she came here, I have tried to be someone she can lean on, but now that we know we are destined to be together, I feel like she trusts me more. I want to give her everything, a good life full of love. I know things will not be perfect, but I want her to feel my love for her. I want to give her family and home. This pack, my pack, can help her heal completely. I can heal her heal and be herself again. 

Alpha Sebastian POV I take one of my guards, Jamie, and leave to talk with Joshua. I have so many questions. For one, I want to know how in the hell he knew about Alanis and her taking refuge with my pack. I want to know why and how he ended up with Alpha Jordon's pack. I want to know why this son of a bitch thought he could attack my sister and take Alanis from me? Did he really think he could just stroll in here and take her without any repercussions? I get into the truck with Jamie. Raul is staying behind with the other guards to keep an eye on Alanis and Julian. I hope Julian behaves herself. She can be a pistol when she thinks she is not in charge. She has never challenged my authority, but she will let me know how she feels about a situation, especially if she feels like she is losing her independence. Jamie drives me to the pack jail to speak with Joshua. The questions are burning in my brain, and I am trying to r

Alpha Sebastian I take Liam and a few guards with me, leaving Julian and Alanis in the hands of some of my most trusted wolves. I know Julian can defend herself, but I worry about Alanis. The men with them will protect them and look after them, but I still do not want to leave either of them for very long. Liam drives to the pack jail where Alpha Jordon is waiting for me with his wolves. Liam looks nervous.  He has come for Joshua and Alanis. Alpha Jordon thinks he can walk into my territory and bark orders he has another thing coming to him. He will not be taking my wife or that asshole, Joshua. Joshua has to pay for what he did, and I want to make sure of it personally. Liam looks more nervous as he drives. He always looks worried, but he seems exceptionally uneasy right now. I do not have time to babysit young wolves today. I need Liam on his game. "What happened when Jordon showed up at the

Alanis POV I leave the room to allow Alpha Sebastian time to talk to Raul. I try not to listen to the discussion, but it gets louder as more wolves come into the house. Voices are raised, and tempers flare between the wolves of our pack. I hear them talking about Julian and her condition. I hope she is okay. As I stand as close to the door as possible, trying to listen, I hear footsteps. I move away from the door and sit down on the bed, waiting for Sebastian to come in and tell me what will happen next. Be strong, Alanis, I tell myself as I wait for my husband to come to talk to me. Alpha Sebastian peers in the door and then walks inside the bedroom to speak with me. "Is she okay?" I ask. Alpha Sebastian shakes his head and then sits with me. He takes my hand and holds it, rubbing the top of my hand, trying to console me. "Julian is fine. She is tough. You have no idea how tough. She is raising hell

Alpha Sebastian POV As night falls, we prepare to go into Alpha Jordon’s camp. I am ready, and my wolves are ready. I have always tried to handle things peacefully, but threatening my wife and my sister is not acceptable. Alpha Jordon putting my pack at risk is unacceptable, and turning my wolves against me is definitely not acceptable. Raul and Basil prepare three separate teams. I will take one unit of wolves, and Raul and Basil will each take a team. We will attack in unison from all sides. The main objective is to take down Alpha Jordon no matter who gets in the way. Jordon and his wolves will fall tonight. He is too much like his father to live. We each take out unit and begin to move through the woods toward the camp. We move quickly and are ready. We take our wolf forms to move faster and cause the most damage to anyone that gets in our way. Alpha Jordon's guards will go down first, then his second line of w
