Breeana exchanged glances with her mate then they both looked at Allen whose face was coloured in embarrassment although he looked like he wanted to go after Sarah.Wow. That had been… unexpected. Sarah and Allen. She had thought that Sarah was still grieving Damien but then again she of all people knew how unpredictable love could be. Although this seemed more like a fatal attraction to her."So…" Reece said, his eyebrow arched."So…" Breeana said, hers arched even higher."Nothing." Allen rubbed the back of his head looking rather uncomfortable and as though he was looking for a way out. He cleared his throat."I came to tell you that Callie and Nelson are back."Breeana's eyes widened in shocked delight and she squealed. They were back! All thoughts of questioning and teasing the hell out of Allen fell to the back of her mind.Why hadn't Callie sent word about their imminent return? Probably to surprise her. Well, she was more than duly surprised."Reece, I have to go and see her."

Ivy stood opposite Breeana on the platform. She looked cocky. Her father was an elder, she had probably gotten training since before she could even walk.Breeana on the other hand had been more medically inclined and been coddled by her father since she was his last pup. Her father who was currently guarding the safe house while Ivy ran her mouth.Breeana went at her so fast that Ivy did not expect it but she quickly got her feet underneath her. She lunged at Breeana. Breeana sidestepped it, her movements fluid and loosening up, her leg stretching out to kick out her feet from beneath her.Ivy saw the move coming and leapt back to avoid it then came at her even harder, her claws out as she moved into a partial shift. Breeana centered her core as they moved around the podium.Block, strike, duck, strike. The only sounds Breeana could hear were the sound of their breathing and her pulse racing out of control.Reece was fighting, dying and all she could do was trade blows with an immatur

Breeana nearly fell over in shock. What was Elder Elvis saying?She and Ari had problems but she knew her sister would never do something like that.Ari had dedicated her life and essence of being to the pack and wanted to do everything for the pack. She would never do something that could cause potential harm to the pack much less lead to the loss of so much life. Not her sister.Breeana looked up at Reece who looked equally shocked as the warriors bundled up Ariana and dragged her to the podium. Their mother cried out and tried to follow her only to be blocked by the warriors.Ariana struggled with them as they pulled her forward."What is the meaning of this, Elder Elvis?"Reece levelled a glare at the man as he stood to his feet."Are you aware of who you have just falsely accused?"Elder Elvis bowed decorously, his every movement entitled and assured."Alpha, I would never accuse a member of our pack falsely regardless of who they are or the position they hold. The entire Elder c

"Someone is here to see you."Ariana stood up quickly.It must be Breeana. She had been waiting for her sister. They had so much to talk about. Ariana was more than thankful for Reece's interference in sparing her life.She knew he had done it for his mate but it didn't erase her gratitude. She wanted to apologise to Breeana for all she had done before they shipped her off to whatever location the elders decided on. That had been Reece's concession to them. Even he wouldn't know where they sent her.Her mind drifted and she wondered how her mother was doing. She knew her mother was not the sort of woman to just collapse because of some shocking news so she wondered if something was wrong."Ariana."Ariana paused."Sarah? What are you doing here?"She was still unsure about how she felt about her old friend. She had been there for her even going as far as begging on her behalf endangering her life. However, on the flip side, Sarah encouraged a part of her that she wanted to control. To

The last thing anyone should talk about right after sex was pregnancy. Even if you and your partner were mated till death parted you. Not only was it a mood dampener but there were so many ways to take it. To read into it. It just wasn't said. Yet that was what had just fallen out of Breeana's lips.She felt Reece tense beneath her and for a second she worried.Did she want to have Reece's child?Hell yeah. Just thinking of a child that would share both of their characters and be a symbol of all they shared was more than enough to bring tears to Breeana's eyes. But she had to be pragmatic about this. She couldn't let her emotions rule her judgment.Deciding to remove children from their current future plans should have been a mutual decision from both parties but she had gone ahead to do it because of all the recent circumstances.Looking at Sarah, she had come to the realization that no matter how much the dream of being a mother mattered to her, this was the wrong time for it. She w
