Alarms blaring, I jump from my bed. This is our third perimeter breach in a week. What the hell is going on? I throw on some leggings and a t-shirt, and whip my blonde hair into a messy bun and head straight for the war room. Thank the Goddess I designed this place so I’m just down the hall, the lack of sleep is starting to get to me.“Talk to me!” is my only command walking into the war room. I step up to the round planning table towards the back of the room ready for information to start flying at me. I really love this set-up. It’s one of the things I am most proud of bringing to the compound. I have always felt with the amount of people that contribute to the greater good of all the packs we should meet more King Arthur style. No head of the table, ultimate leader crap. We all contribute equally and each of us takes lead as needed based on what we are good at. I look out at the circular room to all the Gammas and Omegas that volunteer their time here everyone can be seen and h

Leah’s POVA growl rips through the silence following the lock down. Elder Victor launches himself in my direction only to be stopped by my father and Elder John. He is struggling and snarling in their arms.“What is the meaning of this?” He spits at them. Several other Elders murmur along with him. No one has ever stopped Elder Victor from lashing out before, especially a female he believes is beneath him and should remain barely seen and never heard.“Sit down and get a hold of yourself, Elder, and I will explain.” I calmly replied to him, while putting my Alpha voice to use. Another look of shock ran across many faces in the room. I don't think they realized gender doesn't matter to be able to use an Alpha voice command. I am the oldest child of an Alpha, therefore my tone is strong. Even if I had a little brother my tone would be stronger than his simply because I'm older. I just don't think any female thought to try using it. I found out by accident. I was afraid I would have to r

Leah’s POVAs soon as I cross the threshold, I mind-link Jason and Mary. “We’re on our way, ETA is about 5 minutes, go down to a skeleton crew, get all the Gammas and males out and station Omegas in their places. These guys need to believe they are still superior and have the upper hand of rank loyalty. Jason, I need you hooked into the cells, but out of sight. I have a feeling we are going to be using them today. Tell everyone to be ready for any reaction. A few of these guys are unstable and I don't trust them. Tell Danielle, Jessica and Brittany so far so good, move to the next phase.” “Yes, Alpha” Is the only reply I get from both.The small landing inside the secret door immediately leads to a set of metal steps going down about 40 feet. The room it leads to used to be cold storage or a wine cellar of sorts and over time was forgotten about. Which is unfortunate, because we really could have been using this space for food storage over the winter, since we grow and preserve most o

Leah’s POV[Present Day]My dad grabs my shoulder and murmurs. “Leah, you there?”I blink at him and shake my head a little, coming back from the memory. “Yeah, sorry, you know how I get when an idea hits.” I say with a small smile, it’s not a lie, but I know he sees right through me, yet won’t question a thing in front of this group of guys.I clear my throat. “So you’ll notice the full scale aerial maps of each territory hanging from the far walls. These are updated every 2 weeks from satellite imagery. We also use the satellites to monitor crop growth in each pack, the population shifts in rogue territory and any other anomalies in the outer borders. This necessity was clear after the hunter attack that killed my mom 10 years ago and then again with the rogue uprising 5 years ago when I was captured.” I make eye contact with each Elder and attempt to keep the blatantly hateful judgment out of my voice while silently judging them with my eyes. I have never been quiet about my feeling

Damien’s POV“I just kissed her!” was all I could think. I don’t know if the action was more me or my wolf, but it was amazing. My whole body is still on fire from that one contact. My hand lit up with the little fireworks as I touched the back of her neck and the absolute euphoric explosion that ripped through my whole body when our lips met is something I will never soon forget.As I’m running to catch up with the other leaders, my wolf is scratching at my insides to turn around and go back to her. I have never been so drawn to a person as I am to her. Even when we were little, the few times we were able to spend time alone my wolf and I always felt at peace, like she brought me calm just being close.Trent is definitely going to try to kill me when he finds out. Leah was promised to him when she was 12. It was a really big deal. I heard about more fights breaking out at Leadership meetings of that pairing than anything else. Her dad wanted her to have the chance to find her mate.
