*Samantha POV*   I’m going to fucking kill him. Behind me on my left is Ben, he is nervous and worried; I can tell. He is nervous and I am pissed. We are running through the woods, as soon as we got that mind link, we ran to the bunker. The bars I helped install last week were sawed clean through, the attack on Black Hill was just a distraction!   And I am going to kill him. I am going to skin that bastard alive and make a trampoline from his hide! I am going to rip off his leg and kick his ass with it. I am going to hang him up by his other leg and let the pups use him as batting practice. I’m going to rip every one of his teeth out of his jaw and I’m gonna.... I’m gonna.....   <Grind them up and make him drink them with a straw.> Ben linked me.   <Yes. Exactly.> I agreed before I growled.

*Reader Discretion is still very much advised*  “So do we have any questions so far?” Samantha asked as she is wiping the blood from her two daggers. After Boni passed out she stopped slashing Kimmie and left her to cry.   “Yes Alpha!” One of the young alphas asked as she raised her hand. “Is this the best way to gather information? Aren’t you worried that any information you get from them is a lie?”  “The simple answer is ‘no.’” Samantha said with a smile. “This is not the best way to gather information.”   Most of the alpha’s kids gasped and some actually started taking notes. Even some of the alphas were surprised and listening intently. “However, this is the easiest way to gather information. But like you said any info

The rest of the week was somber, mass funerals were held at my dad’s pack; entire families were buried together. The guilt that radiated from my mate was stifling, and I have no idea how to get her through it. I’ve tried everything I could think of, even watching the NCAA tournament didn’t help. And when UNC lost in the Final Four it backfired on me.   The new TV was already here and getting hooked up.   As we entered our packhouse we heard the new sound system in the entertainment room, and I couldn’t help but smile as most of the omegas that stayed in the packhouse were in there. One of them looked up and waved at us. “Alpha! Luna! Quick! The King has announced a press release! The Head of the Council is there too!”   My brow furrowed and my mate sighed. “What now?” She murmured

The next few months bounded by, on June 2nd we went to my parents’ pack and celebrated Chris and Laura ascending to the Alpha and Luna titles. Even though it wasn’t a full moon it was the same day our parents ascended years ago, and Chris wanted to keep it. Ron and Orla also ascended that night, and Orla’s mating ceremony was done under the full moon on the 12th. Jake was finally initiated as Violet’s mate and second Beta in July and life was starting to settle down comfortably.   We ended up buying that land in Vermont, and construction was starting in the hopes we could be operational by the start of the season. We got a lot of pushback from existing slopes but Samantha just powered through, adding more amenities to make our property more cost effective. The real problem she is facing now is staffing. She isn’t against using local humans,&nbs
