The Awakening
Sophia yells “He’s awake! He’s awake please come!” Filled the basement and up to the stairs where Corgan and I were now coming down. He wasn’t going to let me out of his sight until we’d talked which felt excruciating so I was going to drag it out as long as possible. Although hearing Sophia's words with the joy in them told me one thing my friend Gorm had to be awake. I flew down the stairs and into the clinic where Sophia smiled outside the door gleaming from ear to ear. It had to be Gorm and she was ecstatic as any true mate would be knowing that the one that was bonded to them by the moon goddess would live and they could finally be together. I felt the smallest sting of jealousy in my heart but ran to her hugging her with as much joy as I had to give to two of the kindest hearts I knew. I knew that Gorm and Sophia’s ride would not be as easy as I’d hoped but I also knew somehow it would work out for them. I would fight tooth and nail for both of them to allow them to be tog

Stress (Sophia's POV)
I paced back and forth nervously occasionally trying to adjust or reorganize anything. We had a fairly quiet morning at the clinic anyways because the physician had completed most of his visits early in the morning and the rest of our new CNAs were able to handle him. I really should be working on charting and checking the other few patients we had that remained like the red wolf who lay quietly alone as he always did. I felt a tinge of guilt as I should be a better nurse to him and cared for him as he deserved but I just couldn’t bring myself to know that he had been the cause of so much pain to my mate. My mate! I could not believe the words I heard in my head. I saw Laura approaching and tried to look busy I wasn’t sure what to say as I waited to see why my mate was in with the Alpha and what could possibly be taking so long that I could not check on him. “Sophia you do not look well,” Laura stated as she gently put her arm on my shoulder. “I’m sure he is alright and i

My Mate (Gorm's POV)
I waited for her to walk in the door and as soon as she did I was completely memorized once again. Her pale skin was so beautiful with her beautiful white snow hair pinned so tightly up her head. I couldn’t help but think how beautiful that hair would be down with my hands flowing through it. Again my erection tried to rise and I bunched up my blanket to pretend I was getting more comfortable. Her crystal blues took me in I imagined I didn’t look very good at the moment. I’d been out for close to a week and I felt my chin full of stubbles of red. I generally kept myself tidier and I was disappointed she was seeing me this way. Then those beautiful crystal eyes of hers looked over at me. Her face was more plump and full of life than my friend Kellina’s and although some of their generic features were the same, this woman was far more beautiful than any other woman I’d ever seen. I did my best to take her in wearing her light blue button-up dress with a white surgical apron on top. She c

Clinic (Rollo's POV)
I finished patrol early and so far all was quiet in the pack which was a good thing but also made me uneasy. With the recent sighting of the red crescent pack members, I was sure there would be some kind of retaliation because for all they knew we had killed three of their pack and that didn’t come without consequences typically for any pack. Although I was never sure what would be up the sleeve of the leader of that pack because if you would at the mating ceremony of my beloved adopted daughter Kellina and the future alpha there have been an attack. I would have told anyone who would listen to you were crazy. I kicked my ass daily for not seeing that coming and now watching the destruction of Kellina in every which way was harder than losing my wife and daughter long ago. I tried to put the thought to the side as I approached the clinic doors. I was there for three reasons one to welcome Gorm back to the living and see for myself he was okay. Second check on the red wolf that re

A Walk to Remember
We shuffled out quickly out of the clinic and I walked quickly desperatley trying to get to Sarah’s quickly so that there wasn’t much time for Corgan and me to talk. I hated going through all the emotions and did everyhting possible after Rogan left to avoid all of these things at all cost. I already knew Corgan was blunt honest and direct just like Rogan and right now im my life these were things I wanted to avoid. “Kellina if we walk any faster we might as well be running.” I ignored his statement and kept on the same pace out the walls of the Pack house and into the beautiful green of our pack land. The roads weren’t always what most used around here and because of that the Alpha and Luna had decided to start putitng in walking paths to just aobut eveywhere. The inner part of the town as you would call it was about a mile away from the pack house but was becoming more and more its own inner city full of shops, grocery store, gas stations. All the normal things you wo

Sunset
We were both quiet as we left Sarah’s and the sun was just setting. I took in the beauty of the rolling hills and trees all around us. The one thing that I loved more than anything about our pack land was the natural beauty of all of it. We had our shops and stores closer to the center but still most chose to live outside the confines of town and take in the countryside. We owed it all to our ancestors for getting this land and maintaining it for so long so we could love the natural beauty of all of it. Sarah was surprisingly very candid even in front of Corgan which I hadn’t expected and as we stepped down off the porch he grabbed my hand holding it sweetly. I should have pulled away but I allowed it because something had shifted between us because I was now considering this mating even if it did feel semi-forced. It was the most reasonable decision. I worried about Eric though and how he would feel but I had to be realistic neither was my true mate and this at least brought s

The Celebration Rogan's POV
The entire pack was elated and although I should have told them to ration more of the food everyone had been hungry for so long that we all deserved the feast. It was nice to hear the laughter in the air and I sat beside me not as happy Alpha Athena. I held her hand and I knew she was upset with me for doing what we did without telling her. I whispered into her ear passed her red silk hair. “I know you are angry at me but please see how good this is for our pack. Everyone here needed this even you.” I paused for a moment and felt her body tense at my words. I wasn’t being completely fair about it as I was using my most deep seductive voice hoping it would calm her and lure her in. “You know I love you and would do anything to keep our pack at peace.” Her face now turned and she looked me up and down. She was obviously still angry. She looked deep into me and up and down showing her fury with every look. I could feel the fire inside her trying to ignite me into a ba

A New Day
My mind was still reeling trying to understand in disbelief how the Red Crescent Pack could not only steal from us but do it so easily right from our pack house. Somewhere in the night, I fell asleep deep in my thoughts. I tried to put aside all my ideas and told myself that this couldn’t be because they’d tortured Rogan and he was able to give them details that made it easier for them to access our food storage. I didn’t want to imagine what he was going through if he was alive or perhaps this was the last thing that took him from me for good. My wolf paced in my head all night and still hints of dreams kept coming of me heading to the waterfall to be left standing there alone. I wished in my dreams that any of my family could help guide me through all of this. I tried to not think too much about what Sarah had shared with us but still, it was there in my mind as well could I be the way to stop the Red Cresent Pack for good by taking over as their Alpha? How on earth would that

Critsy's POV
“I want the fuck out of here! Just let me fucking go!” I screamed over and over pulling at the straps that hooked me to the hospital bed. I knew just being here wasn’t a good sign it meant my brother was gone and the last thing I remember was Gorm coming at me! Gorm who used to be my brother and then he had the fucking nerve to come in here and try to talk to me! I wasn’t going to do it! This was my last chance to do something right by my brother and keep my mouth fucking shut! They’d have to kill me and then I could be back out blessed moon goddess! Yes, that was the only option for me. I felt the rage pour into me and I again screamed “Just kill me you stupid motherfuckers! I’m not telling you anything!” I heard the guards outside pounding on the door. “Just shut the fuck up then and I would be glad to kill you!” “Fuck why is the Alpha insistent on keeping this guy around?” “You fucking know why we need him to tell us where they are fucking hiding at. We can’t keep letti

One Week Later
I came out of Critsy’s room again frustrated and annoyed. We were no further I felt than I had hoped. I’d focused all my attention on him for the last week and the only thing I’d managed to do was convince him he had to eat and drink. It was a start but time was ticking away on me and Corgan’s ceremony didn’t feel that far away now. In fact, they had begun planning it and I felt more trapped than ever before. “At some point my little wolf you have to begin leading him or this will never work.” Gorm snickered sitting in one of the office chairs spinning himself around. He was becoming a bit of an annoying patient, to say the least, because he really was all but healed but I knew he had no desire to leave Sophia’s side until they were officially mated so it was allowed for him to remain. Even at this point, Sophia’s spot in my room had been removed because she spent every night sleeping beside Gorm. Nothing inappropriate of course because Sophia was a lady. I had been impres
