Baylor POV After cleaning up the kitchen because I had sent the help home early, I went for a run by myself. I just needed to think. In the human world where I was raised it was crazy for me to be in love at my age. But I am pretty sure that what I am feeling is just that and I am not human. I am a werewolf and not just any werewolf, I am an Alpha and that means I am a leader. I am doing okay for the most part when it comes to pack issues, I just acted like an irresponsible teenage boy when it came to Delania. I have to act like an Alpha at all times from here on out regardless of what happens tomorrow. Okay maybe not at all times, I don’t know if I could quit clowning around with Mit and Ken that’s just how we have always been. I am exhausted and I want to just go back to the packhouse and crawl into bed, but I should probably check in on Machieste before I do. As I round the perimeter checking in on those on patrol as I go, I make a mental checklist of things that need to be done

Delania POV I am still in disbelief over what Baylor did this morning before breakfast. First because he did it in front of everyone in the room. Second it was hot as hell, he could have stripped and fucked me on the counter right then and there. And there is no way that anyone in the room missed the smell of my arousal. The hours since have dragged on and I may spontaneously combust before the pack run. At lunch instead of sending one of the other girls out to the building site to deliver lunch, I went. Seeing the sweat glisten on Baylor’s body in the sunlight made my mouth go dry. This is crazy, there shouldn’t be this much sexual tension between two people. When he walked over to the cart to get a sandwich and a bottle of water, I tried to act casual. Tried and failed as my eyes took in the view. “My eyes are up here Delania,” he said with a cocky grin. Guilty as charged but can you blame a girl for wanting a bite of eye candy. As he walked away the rearview was as sexy as the fr

Machieste POVI remain trapped as a prisoner of my own mind, the day of my greatest failure continuing to haunt me day and night. There is now a voice that is mixed in with that nightmare and it seems out of place. I don’t know if it is the voice of the Moon Goddess because I can’t seem to separate it from the nightmare. Maybe it is part of this key that Dagger has said I need to wake up. Maybe if I focus on the voice I can gain some clarity. ‘Dagger, is there any way that you can help me hear the voice that is in the background of my nightmare?’ I ask my wolf. ‘I think if we work on focusing on the voice together that perhaps I may be able to block the nightmare enough that you may hear what it has to say,’ Dagger replied. ‘How do I do that though, the nightmare is so vivid that it is as if I can see, touch, and taste it?’ I asked my wolf. ‘The voice is soft and calm, focus on the soothing cadence. Let it wash over you while I hold the nightmare at bay, it may hold the answers we n

Baylor POV “Baylor, if I might have a word with you, before you rejoin the festivities,” Alpha Colin said. I looked at Delania and an understanding passed between us as she nodded her head and went to go outside with the rest. “Actually your mate or should I say your Luna should stay too since it involves the two of you,” Alpha Colin amended. I was a little surprised and wary of what that could mean. “Have the two of you accepted the bond yet?” Alpha Colin asked. “Yes,” I said enthusiastically. “Um, actually no we haven’t,” Delania said and I looked at her in confusion. “I don’t understand. I accepted you the moment I knew it was you,” I replied. “Baylor, there is a formal acceptance of the bond and though you accept Delania with all your heart, you still need to do the formal acceptance and I was thinking that it would be a great thing to share with your pack,” Alpha Colin informed. “Oh, I guess that is just another thing I didn’t know. I’m sorry,” I replied. Delania placed a soft

Unknown POV Well isn’t this a delightful little development? Looks like father like son is truer than we ever suspected. The little bastard just banished a little she-wolf. Oh and she thoroughly hates him too, hoping that the Rogue King kills him. I could certainly oblige her and let her watch while I do it. This game just became more interesting, I have never had a female join my ranks. What is that saying about a woman scorned? She will have inside intel of what is going on inside of the pack. I eliminated one of my enemies in Alpha Stephan, already along with his heir. Now to eliminate the little bastard before he mates and creates an heir. Alpha Colin may prove the most difficult to eliminate as I will have to eliminate two possibly three generations, I will have to check in with my spies to see if Colin’s heir has created an heir of his own. Uh-oh bad form little bastard, you not only banished a she-wolf but you let your guards ruff her up first. That makes her prey. Oh now the
