LOGAN POV"All the warriors are on high alert, Logan. Dad is on patrol too, and you know how thorough he is. I am calling the packs we are allied with. Your dad thinks it's Alpha Lawrence who made the deal with Kincaid. The description Atticus gave fits him, so he is calling him. Your dad also alerted W.O.L.F. to everything Atticus told us. I think everything is in order," Gavin says, and I nod.I place my plate in the sink and turn towards my waiting friend. Ever since leaving medical, I have been like this, numb. After everything, Atticus said, I can't think straight. I need to see Chloe. She will be able to clear my mind. She will have an idea on how to handle helping him."I need to go check on Chloe. I want to give her an update and check on her friend. I might even ask if Karina wouldn't mind talking to her ex-mate...Atticus wants us to execute him over things he did while his father controlled him. The guy feels so guilty he won't listen

LOGAN POV   "Where's Chloe," Dad asks as soon as I walk into his office.   "Heading to the shelter. We talked and decided it would be best if she sits this out," I say as a tinge of fear runs through me.  What if dad wants Chloe front and center? What if he thinks just because Hannah was her mom, she can fight like her? No, dad knows Chloe didn't grow up a warrior. He knows that she needs more training before joining us in battle.   Lazarus huffs a little, but he mostly agrees with my feelings. Our mate's human side isn't ready for War. She will be someday, but not today.  "Thank the Goddess. I was scared she would refuse. Those Patterson women can be stubborn. Did you remind her to be in wolf form so we can communicate? It's been so long since our pack has had any kind of threat. I have been getting asked quest

CHLOE POV    Hank- Gavin and I were surprised you agreed to wait in the shelter. We figured you would want to be front and center. Not saying we didn't want you here because we do, especially Gavin. He was worried about you being a target out there. Kincaid seems to enjoy using females as leverage.    I glance at the bulky teen laughing as twin girls use him as a jungle gym. His brown eyes are filled with joy, and I smile in my mind. It's nice to know he was concerned for my well-being.I used to think Gavin was just a big oof living in Logan's shadow. Someone dead set on not being left behind...a lacky. But since I have been paying more attention, I have been surprised. He is intelligent and compassionate. He takes his beta position seriously and seems more responsible than I initially thought. He will make a great Beta.  Chloe- Logan pointed o

CHLOE POV    "The smoke is starting to disperse," I whisper as I stand up to look at the entire room.     "Yeah, we need to send someone outside to get an update on the battle," Gavin says as he too stands.  He folds his arms across his chest, and I shake my head no.  "No. We will wait until they come to us. We are the vulnerable ones. We have to remember that," I reply, and he sighs.   "I hate not having a wolf," Gavin mumbles, and I give him a small smile.   He returns it but then looks away from me. He moves to check on a few friends, and I scan the room again. When I spot the warriors in charge of keeping Jasmine contained, I square my shoulders and head in their direction.   "Luna," the older says in greeting when I get right in front of them.&nb

CHLOE POV ( Rape incident is mentioned avoid reading if easily triggered) The door to the shelter opens quickly, and many of the members gasp. I stand up from the floor to try and get a good look at who came in first, but it's no use. I am the farthest from the door."CHLOE," Logan yells, and my heart begins to pound in my chest.Relief floods my body before I yell back."Logan," I call, happy to know he is alive.The pack members in front of me part, and I freeze. My eyes lock onto his, and my heart sings. It only takes a second for the shock of seeing him to wear off before I start running.He looks as if the battle was intense. Even his face is covered in blood, but I don't care. I need to feel his warmth. I need to confirm he is okay and whole by wrapping my arms around him. I collide with his naked chest, and
