No Surprises Godric POV Her words cut me to the core. I could feel her pain. Her anguish. These were the times I needed Alex. He was always there to keep me from saying something stupid or doing something without thinking. I couldn’t sleep after our conversation. How could I with this much space between us? I hated the way I made her feel right now. I wish I could ask myself, ‘why couldn’t I have just been happy?’ But the truth is, I knew why. I know what is really at stake. I’ve seen what happens to a Luna who wasn’t pregnant by her Alpha. And I’ve seen what happens to a wolf born to Luna who wasn’t the Alpha’s son. Neither scenario is pretty and I won’t have that happen to her. So she can be just as upset with me as she wants. She will see one day that everything that I’m doing is for her and the pup she carries. When I heard her leave the bed and start the shower, I was relieved. I didn’t want to invade her space, but this couch wasn’t made for sleep. I crept into the bed

The Mourning Period Mason POVIt’s been two weeks since I heard the crushing sound of Evander’s neck snapping. My friend was gone. He was really gone and there was nothing I could do to bring him back.That first night, I was escorted of Alpha Godric’s land, I feared a retaliation was not far behind. Maybe he was playing some game letting me go. Giving me false hope and then killing me before I made it home.Guilt and heartache ran through me, hand and hand. This was my fault. I led Evander to Godrics land. I’m the one who said we should go and see the girls. Partly because I missed Audrey. And the other part was that I hated seeing Evander so broken over a girl who wasn’t his mate.I mean sure, she looked a lot like his mate, but she wasn’t her. And she never would be.I didn’t return to the pack that first night. I pulled over and slept at a hotel, though I didn’t get a once of sleep. I kept tossing and turning replaying everything that happened.Evander was dead. And I was Alpha.

Deja VuZaya POVMy mate has stopped purposely avoiding me and begun fake paying attention to me while in the company of others. We’ve been pretending for days, which hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be.I’d spent the last few days with Anna organizing the arrival of some Alpha and his Luna. Since it was only them, I set up a few rooms here in the Alpha house. I figured they would arrive with a few guards. I had Anna prepare a home not far from the Alpha house for them.This project kept me busy during the day.Grodric kept himself busy in meetings all week with different groups of people. Though he hasn’t said a word about what those meetings were about, I could tell it was military related. I got my confirmation when my mid-day training session was canceled due to perimeter runs.The last time I saw groups of soldiers running around like this, Evander had just killed Alpha Ken.A knock at the door pulled me from my continuous guesses about his secret meetings. Anna popped h

Hiding Out Zaya POV I held my friend as she released the saddest cry I’d ever heard. It was low and yet the loudest sound I heard all day. She was heart broken. I could tell because I too was heart broken. We sat like that for at least an hour. My arm draped over her shoulders with her head in the crook of my neck. No words are needed to lighten or worsen the mood. Just us. When I felt she wasn’t going to feel any better, I released her of her duties for the day. “How about you go home and get some rest?” Anna eased her head off my shoulder and looked at me before wiping her tears. “But I still have to…” I stood up and looked around the room. “I’m sure I can get the extra room together.” She started to list all the things she had to do. And I held up my hands to stop her from speaking. “If I need any help or get stuff, I’m sure one of the house staff can assist me. Now, please go get some rest.” She started to protest again but nodded her head instead. I sat back on the bed on

Rumors Are UsGodric POVOne of Brax’s guards stood by while another guy joined us inside the office. I tried not to look too confused while trying to remember his name. He had come with Brax a few times when we were younger. But they hadn’t been here in a while.The two guys sat in front of my desk, while I sat behind it. Alex took his normal seat on the couch against the wall. He always sat with his back against the wall. Just his way of keeping an eye on things.“Alpha Godric…,” He said formally and I stopped him.“Please Brax. I know it’s custom, but in this office, you can call me Godric. We go too far back for such formalities.”He nodded and smiled. “Godric. This is my first commander of my soldiers, Trent.” Trent leaned forward and shook my hand firmly.I gave him a smile but still tried again to hold my confusion as to why he brought him. I would have thought he’d bring an Elder as I thought we were here to speak about policy.”“Is there something I should know Brax? You arri
