*** FLASHBACK CON'T *** I now haven't seen Zoe for 2 months and during that time my Alpha has been drilling into me what my place is once again and that I am to treat everyone as they are of a much higher rank than me. I knew that Zoe and her parents were due home sometime over the next few days and as soon as I heard Zoe's parent's car pull up out the front of the packhouse; I smile. Even though I know I shouldn't have, I dropped the plate I was washing back into the sink and run out of the packhouse. I ignore the pain that is running through me in waves as I run up to her and wrap my arms around her, making her fall to the ground. We are both laughing as she says, "Hey! Girl, did you miss me or something?" "Nahh, why on earth would I miss a wolf-like you??" I laugh as I shrug my shoulders, making

COLE'S POV It doesn't take us long, and we slowly managed to lighten the mood as we make it back to the Alpha house. Once we have returned to the Alpha house and head inside, Alexander heads straight through the sitting room and up the hall to the office. We all stop in the sitting room, Skyler yawns and walks up to Elijah, whispers into his ear, then gives him a kiss, when he lets her go he bows a little to her and then heads off in the same direction as Alexander and makes his way to the office. Skyler then moves over to Nathan, whispers into his ear and gives him a kiss as well. When he lets her go, she goes to step away, but he pulls her back into another kiss. This time, when she steps back, she is flushed and her breathing is a little heavy. Nathan then bows to Skyler and heads to join Elijah and Alexander in the office. She then moves over to me. I don't expect her to do what she did with my brothers as she truly loves them, but what she does surpr

GRETA'S POV Even after he said that they wouldn't hurt me and that he wouldn't let them, I could feel their Alpha aura and knew that they would do what they wanted to me no matter what he said. So as much as I wanted to do what Lily wanted, and that was to stay safe and warm in his arms, I access my other side and disappear, but I don't go too far, as I want to see what they do. I sit on the roof near the skylight and listen. I am extremely surprised when the Alpha I had caught by accident steps in saying, "If you punish him, you punish me..." This is not a normal Alpha or at least any Alpha I have known, as all Alpha's I have ever met only look out for themselves. They never admit when they are wrong and never take a punishment that is meant for another. Lily gives me a nudge to pay attention as if she knows he is about to say something important. "If Delta Alexander failed today, then so did I..." So that was his name. I smile as Li

ALEXANDER'S POV I wake when I hear movement in the other room. I look down as I then feel Greta stir in my arms. She stretches and then looks up and tenses. I smile and glance at the window. "Good afternoon..." Greta starts to struggle in my arms, placing her hands on my chest and trying to push away from me, but suddenly stops and just stares at her wrist. I move my gaze to her wrists and then back to her eyes as she whispers, shocked and surprised. "Where? How?" "What?" She relaxes a little, holding her wrist in front of her as she repeats, "Where? How?" I chuckle a little as I ask again, "What? I can't answer your question until you answer mine?" She then looks up at me, "Master Alpha Christopher's iron ownership bracelet... It's gone!..." She then stops again as she moves her eyes from mine, lowering them back towards her wrist but stopping at my shoulder. Again she looks up at me in surprise and a little co

SKYLER'S POV I fight my way out of the darkness and slowly open my eyes. I was expecting to be tied in one way or another, but I stretch, finding that I am not bound in any way. I place my hand over my stomach and feel two little kicks, telling me that my pups are doing well. I then slowly sit up and look around. I smile as I realise we are back at the same cabin we were in when Greta first took us. I shiver as I look over at the wall where Uncle Christopher had me tied so that he could whip my back. As he had whipped me, I could tell it was the same type of belt that my father used to wear. I get to my feet and walk over to the door that leads to the other room. I listen for just a moment and smile as Alexander gets to know and shows Greta what having one of us as a mate would be like. I move away from the door and head over to the small kitchen, making myself something to eat. As I sit at the counter, I get a tug on all 3 of my mate links. Even Cole's, that has bee
