Arya POV The moment she stepped into the dining hall the most delicious mouth-watering scent filled her nose. She knew he was there, but she couldn’t see him. She wanted to follow the scent until she found him. She wanted to be brave. Instead of the broken woman she has been the past few years. She also didn’t want her mate to know how broken she truly was. She took in a deep breath. Straightened up and decided to follow his scent. She found him in the kitchen. Before she could stop herself, she was at his side. One hand instinctively slid across his lower back while the other went to his chest. She felt a rush of excitement as she felt the tingles spread over her wherever she touched him. Her heart was beating so fast she thought it would explode out of her chest. She looked him in the eyes and with more confidence than she thought she spoke. “Good morning, Alpha Josh.” he instantly responded to her by grabbing her on both sides of her waist pulling her directly in front of him. W

Alpha Josh PovJosh looked at his mate and then Loklyn. He didn’t want to lie or hide anything from her. He wasn’t even sure if he would be able to.“I will answer anything. I want us to be truthful to one another. No lies or secrets.” He nodded to Arya and sighed. “We haven’t heard from him about you running away. Which is odd. My pack borders his. This should have been the first place he checked. So, why hasn’t he? And why was he wanting to know about the witches? It just doesn’t make sense.” it was as if speaking those words something clicked and he looked at the King. “Could Mitchell be behind the rogues?”“What rogues?” Arya asked making josh look at him. “There have been rogues breaking into witch houses. They aren’t hurting anyone, only breaking in when no one is home. They are taking grimoires, family trees, anything about their histories. We aren’t sure what they want them for. We think someone is behind it but haven’t been able to find any proof. The witches asked us for h

Arya POV She stood there and watched their wolf’s fight. No one did anything. No one moved. “Do something. Stop them!” She wasn’t screaming at anyone. She just needed someone to stop them. She looked to the King and pleaded. “Father. Please. Stop them. They will kill each other.” The king looked at her sadly. “I’m sorry. I can’t. This is Alpha Josh’s territory. It goes against our alliance. I have no power here. The Alphas must handle this one.” She let out a sob and turned back to look at the two Alpha’s. She wasn’t sure what she was feeling in that moment. Fear? Anger? Sadness? Maybe a combination of all three. Everything bubbling to the surface ready to explode. She tried to calm herself down before it could, but it was too late. “STOP!” Her aura exploding out of her with enough force it brought everyone, except her father, to their knees. She watched as Alpha Josh and Alpha Mitchell shifted back into their human forms. She glanced around at everyone before her eyes fell on Alp

Arya POV Arya had always heard people talking about the mate bond and its pull. How you wouldn’t be able to tolerate being away from your mate. How you would always want to be near them and touching them. And all she has wanted to do since she recognized him as her mate was to be by his side constantly. So, how could she not want to share a room with him? Sleeping next to him inhaling his intoxicating scent all night long. Just that thought was enough to believe she had died and gone to paradise. “Is that a good surprisingly? Or a bad one?” The Alpha laughed taking a step closer to her. “It all depends.” She smiled taking another step closer leaving about a foot of space between them. “What would it depend on?” His smile faded and his eyebrows scrunched together. “Is there a room with a nursery attached? Or at least a room that’s across the hall?” She stepped closer making their chests almost touch. His eyes glistened with excitement as he spoke. “I suppose if I say yes there are
