I had no idea that she was cutting us off from her emotions.  I feel like the worst type of asshole that I didn’t insist that she go to the hospital while we were still on Diana Pack lands.  But even Lily had taken her word and said that we could wait. Right now, Xander and I are in the waiting room outside of the surgical suite.  Arya had to have a D&C.  I had never heard of one before and Lily was patient as she explained it to us.  When they completed the sonogram, they had found that not all of the placenta had detached from Arya’s uterus.  This is super dangerous, even for a wolf, and so they had to do surgery to get everything out. We were allowed to stay with her during the pre-op phase, but when they wheeled her into the operating room, we had to leave.  She’d been in there for about 30 minutes when the doctor ca

It’s about a five and a half hour ride to the New Moon Pack territory and we make it there by mid-morning.  From scouting reports, there was no one around yet and Seth’s texts had said that no one would arrive until around midday.  We had plenty of time to set up defenses and patrols. Thankfully, when the original massacre had happened at the New Moon Pack, the alphas had sent in a cleaning team.  They had burned the bodies and buried the ashes and they had cleaned the worst of the blood and gore from the packhouse.  We had plenty of space for all of the wolves with us and it was recommended that we get a few hours of shut eye before the action started. But, before that, Liam, and I sit down with Gael and Hakeem, along with both deltas to go over strategy. “Patrols?” Gael asks his delta, Patri

Keegan left his beta, Donavan, in charge while he and Patrice...got acquainted.  Donavan and a few of the other wolves sat down with Alessandra, Liam, Jordan, Gael, and me to look over a map of Mathias’s territory from their vehicles. Now Mathias wasn’t stupid enough to give us a map that had all of his safe houses and stuff on it, but the fact that we had a more accurate view of his territory, including hunting trails, small ponds, and shading for the dense parts of the forest was much more helpful than the general view we got from a typical human map. Donavan pointed out where things were situated, including where all of the she-wolves and pups from every pack were.  The fucking homophobic prick was keeping all of them close to where he was so that the other packs would have “motivation” to  keep him safe.  Low growls rumbled through all

Diego rolls off of me, pulling me into his chest.  I rise up to kiss him before going to the bathroom quickly.  When I return, he puts his arm out and I snuggle into him, putting my head on his chest.  He wraps his arm around me and kisses my hair. Running my hands over his abs, I ask, “How long have you wanted pups?” He sighs and I feel the rumble of it in his chest.  “I hadn’t really thought of it until we got the news about Arya.  That got me thinking about you and Lily and what it would be like to have both of you pregnant at the same time.” “You really think that you could handle two pregnant she-wolves?  Based on how Carmen ran Declan ragged and how Brandon and Zak are treating Charlie like a queen, I think both of us pregnant would be the death of you.”  I laugh against h

Sam and I had been watching the wolves that had been fighting on the side of the woods.  Several of our wolves appeared to be injured, but the majority of them were fine.  The enemy wolves that had gone to help were standing at the edge of the woods, watching our wolves surround them.  They don’t seem worried though.  More like they’re excited for the fight. We turn when we hear the whoosh of a flame catching and turn to see Becca’s body engulfed in flames.  Her screams sear themselves into my brain and the backs of my eyes.  The heat of the flames rolling off of her is enough to make us step back, even though we’re a good 10 feet from her.  Her body writhes on the ground as she attempts to roll back and forth on the ground to smother the fire.  But it doesn’t work.  It’s too
