Heart racing, nerves pile up as I sit in my car in front of the packhouse. I know Ollie and mum already know about Zander, but I was honestly more nervous telling Dad and Uncle. I wouldn’t know how they would react. Would they be happy for us? Or still so angry over the issues between our packs? I know we have had a rocky start, but I also know that I wasn’t going to reject him. I still cared so much for him, and he has tried to show how much he cares over the last few days. And I agree that we could do more if we could be more open with our relationship with our family and pack members. Some might hate it, and others might be excited about it, but Zander and I were always meant to be together in the end. I still haven’t forgiven him for what happened, but he has explained, owned his mistake and is trying to make things better between us, so I’ll keep an open mind and allow him to try and make things right. I suck in a breath of air as I open the door and head into the pack

My senses are in overdrive as I feel the warm sun streaming through our bedroom window. His scent engulfed all of me as tingles danced along my skin. I hear his deep breathing next to me as one of his arms slung over, pulling me close to his hard chest. Last night was hard. I had the worst night's sleep, tossing and turning until I couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted Zander to hold me close to tell me everything was going to be ok, that this weird emptiness won’t last forever. I wondered if this is what it felt like to become a rouge or if it’s worse. At least I don’t have the scent of a rogue. I just didn’t have the links and connections to the pack anymore. It’s like I’m in limbo. I am just waiting. Usually, when one is stripped of your title, you get a new one or move to Omega status. Uncle didn’t even do that for me, so now I’m stuck in limbo unless I renounce my allegiance to my pack and turn rogue until I move into Zander's Pack. In the Liverpool pack, there are a few titles

I psyched myself way too much by the time we arrived in front of the packhouse. Zander tried to help calm me down, but my nerves got the best of me in the end. I kept replaying everything that happened last night, and one thing stuck out, the supposed reason why Uncle banished me from the pack. Charwood hadn’t had a Luna for over a decade. So, of course, naturally, I was worried about so many different things. With such a high expectation, my brain went in overloaded. What if the pack doesn't like me? What if his father didn’t like me? What if more of his exes show up and try to challenge me? Would they accept me because I was from Liverpool and not a part of their pack? So many possibilities were swirling around my head. I panicked and froze until Zander opened the car door and brought me into a tight hug, kissing me gently, trying to reassure me. Every time he does something like this, he surprises me, making my heart ache for him and making me fall in love with him all

Shit, Shit, Shit. I am in so much trouble. I look between Zander and his father as he's standing on the sidelines. One would think they are linking, but their eyes are not glazed and they are just staring at each other. Even Beta Jake looks a little uncomfortable, shifting around at their gaze. Their wolves flicker through, showing a rim of gold in their eyes, dominance radiating from both men. A few of the warriors were curiously watching. Most try to ignore what was happening, but it was hard to ignore two Alphas fighting for dominance. Neither man has moved from their position. I can see Daniel's eyes cast down in submission, hands in his pockets, and looking at the grass as if it’s the most exciting thing in the world. Beta Jake is looking between them as I am, slightly confused, but I’m sure he’s more aware of what is going on than me. I frown in confusion. What did I miss? I know Zander didn’t have the best relationship with his father, but this type of play for dominance an

Soft music filled the air as people stood around chatting. Daniel and the Omegas did a fantastic job putting this together for an event that only took half a day to set up. The pack gathering was already in full swing when we arrived from touring the territory. The sun was already starting to set and lots of people were coming and going, enjoying themselves and having a good time. I met many people who are here tonight and a lot more when visiting the different sites today. It was nice to see many of the established buildings and businesses they have up and running; it's a fantastic set-up. I understand why Charwood is the largest and strongest pack in the country. I probably haven’t met all of the pack yet, but I have met all the pack elders and advisers that helped make some of the decisions. They seem like friendly people, and I look forward to working with them. I watch my mate from the kitchen mingling and talking with his pack members as I fix myself a drink and sit back
