Mason Gwen finally came to the office, and Marcus and I were eager to find out what was going on. "What took you so long?" I asked and kissed her. She returned the kiss and touched my arm with her palms. Her scent filled my senses, and I pulled her to my body. "How did it go with the doctor?" Marcus asked her which was why I was asking in the first place, and she pulled away from me and smiled at him. "I will soon be heading back to the hospital for more tests," She said, and Marcus and I were about to protest when she raised a small bottle of capsules. "No cause for alarm, Isabelle just wants to run some tests to help with the medication she is developing," she said, grinning from ear to ear, but deep down I felt she was lying about something and Marcus must have felt it too because what he said following her statement proved it. "So you do not mind us coming with you to the hospital this evening?" He asked her, and she frowned at him. "I am not a baby, Marcus," she protested.

Marcus I could not believe how easy it was for them to get the bastard. Derin looked beaten and I had a smirk on my face. Deep down, I had hopes that our plans will work, and we will be alright. "Take him to a silver cell for now, while we prepare to question him," Delan said. This was his pack after all. It was okay for him to give the orders. "Daddy!" Gwen said and hugged her father. Delan hugged her, and kissed the top of her head. Words did not need to be spoken. He did this for her. Thanks to Derin, they had poisoned and almost ruined her life. It was a miracle that she was here with us. I went to shake him, and so did Mason. "Thank you, Alpha Mackenzie," I said, and he smiled at me. "It was fun," he said and looked at the other Alphas. The Alphas smiled back at him. "The bastard was drunk with his a bitch's mouth on his cock when we got him," Lucius said, sounding a bit disgusted. "He has no respect for women," Liam said, " I saw all the thrashing marks on her back. Th

Gwen. I held so much in when they brought Derin. I wanted to kill him. If Marcus and Mason weren't there, I would have killed him. I felt intense rage. The man had no regard for life, and he did not care about anyone but himself. Hearing he had a harem of lovers which he treated badly made me sick. Derin teamed up with the humans against us. Turned the other Alphas against us. Made it possible for Larry to get his hands on innocent wolves for his experiments, and the guy was not even remorseful. He simply did not care. He just wanted whatever it was he wanted. As much as Derin claims he carried on for Simone, this was more about him. He sold us out completely, and he was supposed to be on our team. He pointed them in our direction. Put us in a situation where we had to defend ourselves. The video Timber sent to Mason kept playing in my head. I remembered how he gave Larry ideas, and I wanted to bash his head against the wall. The man did not deserve to live. My babies were living

Marcus I was stunned by the list of people from my pack that signed up to join the human army. Most of the people that signed up were people on our side of the fence. Significantly few people from the outside pack signed up. It was amazing to see how ungrateful the people on our side were. The outer packs had experienced human cruelty first-hand. They were obviously on high alert. They were barely up to fifty that signed up from those packs. The rest were from my territory. It was time to go to the Eclipse pack and make some moves. Mason, Gwen and I had Luisa drive us back to the Eclipse pack. The pack members were all underground. The only people that remained above ground were the warriors and some medical practitioners. I was glad to see that Scott was doing an excellent job as beta. I knew he would be able to handle the position. He might not be as strong as Michael, but he was the next in line. "Alpha," He greeted me when we descended from the car. He also Greeted his Luna and

Marcus. We rode in the ambulance all day long. We wanted to stop at the diner to get Gwen food because she was pregnant, but she insisted we keep going. I knew she was hungry, I could feel it, but I also understood why she did not want us to stop. Although we were in our territory, we did not trust anyone. We were being careful. We did not want any surprises. Mason was a tough guy, but the way his pack members kept disrespecting Gwen simply meant he didn't fully have their control, and I intended to talk to him about it. The hostility towards Gwen needed to stop; there is no excuse. Half of the things they did now, they wouldn't dare it when I was in charge of that territory. It wasn't very pleasant, and it took a lot of effort for me not to close the diner. The people serving and working there were ranking officers. Every civilian was underground. If these officers could disrespect their Luna this way, I wonder what they would do in battle. They are likely to work against her or, may
