Chapter Fifty-One - Just Awful

Willow’s POVI had a new job and it wasn’t a pleasant one. ‘Breeders’ was every bit as awful as I had imagined. My role wasn’t to parade around on stage half-naked. No, I was to clean and generally keep myself to myself until Alpha Lewis returned for me.I’d been wrong about Jess, I saw that now, though I wasn’t the only one. And I didn’t know what to make of Brandon; no-one did.If only I still had my phone I could have called Rose using our code.No, I had to stand on my own two feet now. She’d sheltered me long enough.That morning, while I was brushing down the chair seats to bring up the nap, I overheard them talking, Boris and his sister, Cordelia. I could see them quite plainly up near the stage.“We ought to sell her,” the woman said.“Is what wise? He’s bound to find out.”“Not if we make it a private sale. I could say she’d run off.”“You always were the better liar, Cordie,” he chuckled.She shoved his shoulder, unamused. “Think about it. Some of those older Alphas like a y

Chapter Fifty-Two - The Threat

Rose’s POV Willow was trying to communicate something but it wasn’t coming through properly and now I had a headache. All I knew was that she was with Brandon. Whether that was good or bad I couldn’t decide. Worrying would only unsettle my pups and I wasn’t up to seeing Jessie again. Adam told me how she’d suddenly expressed remorse for her part in it all. I still didn’t trust her, remembering how she’d seemed so vulnerable initially; she’d really played me for an idiot. “What will you do with her?” I asked as we strolled through the corridors. This was the only exercise I got these days owing to the need to keep me safe but I wasn’t complaining. Being around him was priceless, especially now we weren’t enemies. “I haven’t decided yet.” I shot him a sidelong look. “Is that because she’s potentially a fertile female?” “Why are you pleading her case, Rose?” “Believe me, I’m not,” I said. “Jealous?” “Should I be?” “No." He took my hand. "Maybe I can cash in on her virgin status

Chapter Fifty-Three - Something In The Air

Adam’s POVNegotiating wasn’t my forte. I preferred to be on the battleground, fighting my way out of tight corners. That rarely happened in actual conflict but I trained for it nonetheless.That was probably why she looked so forlorn when I told her we would have to wait. There was no reason for it other than that it wasn’t our way, the Bond way, and I would need to ensure my warriors and their females were cool with it.Clare had never asked. That made it doubly important to treat Rose’s request with due respect.My queen made a joke of it, saying she’d wondered for a second if I was going to tell her I’d done it already and she’d either forgotten or been unconscious.We looked at each other.“He really was a beast, wasn’t he?” I said, fishing a little.“Simone’s husband? The worst kind.”I’d noticed that, recently, she couldn’t bring herself to say his name. I decided I wouldn’t either. Willow was such an innocent.Alpha Lewis would pay as well, just as soon as he came within reach

Chapter Fifty-Four - Man On A Mission

Rose’s POVIt was such a relief to hear my sister’s voice on the phone which had finally been returned to me by Connor himself from wherever Alpha Lewis had secreted it. He said he’d added me to his contacts as well. A bit intrusive, I thought. And he was probably hanging onto that sack containing my belongings. Oh, well. You couldn’t have everything.She seemed to be choosing her words with care. Was Alpha Connor listening? If so, he was probably right not to trust her, but we couldn’t use a code. He knew all about the nursery rhyme thing.What was I thinking? Lolo didn’t have anything to fear from him. Did she?“When will I see you?”The words were out before I could stop them.“I don’t know, Rose. Alpha Connor has asked me to be his Luna.”“What?”I almost shrieked the word, causing Adam to glance up from his paperwork.“It’s only pretend, sis.”Should she have told me that? I decided I wanted to hear it from the horse’s mouth.“Put him on.”I heard her say quite clearly, “Alpha, s

Chapter Fifty-Five - Bad News

Willow’s POVThe Alphas didn’t panic, nor did they act. It was their bodyguards who converged on the former Gamma, disarming him as easily as if he were an untrained shifter. He was arguing with them and pointing at the one who was cloaked.Except there was now no sign of him and, suddenly, I knew what I had to do. This was no place for me. Nobody was watching. Could I sneak out?I hadn’t reckoned with Connor. He obviously knew me too well.Then he made a fatal error, introducing me to his peers with no little pride.“This is Willow Harper, my Luna-to-be. I was going to wait until later in the evening, but … ”That was when he handed me a ring box and I opened it only to find the kind of solitaire I’d always wanted.“Not so fast.”Alpha Horace had caught on already that I was originally his property.“Is it a crime to get engaged now?” Connor asked, spreading his hands.“You didn’t ask for my permission. Seize her!”And, just like that, I became another’s captive once more.The Moon G

Chapter Fifty-Six - Magic

Rose’s POVI knew it, there was an infection among the Lycan pack, possibly brought here by Luna Simone. She was in a bad way, apparently, and not expected to survive. I was only glad I didn’t have to see her, though I felt for those poor pups, however they’d been conceived.My sister was missing, again, and now it seemed Connor had disappeared, disrupting Adam’s plans to combat this worrying outbreak. In fairness, he couldn’t have known and he obviously had troubles of his own.It didn’t improve my mate’s temper any when Alpha Horace picked up the phone. I couldn’t believe it when I heard he was planning to annex Red Riding. Was he delusional? An older shifter who didn’t even command all of his own werewolves. Or so the rumour went. Shortly after that I learned he was asking we be returned or that he receive compensation. Adam assured me I was going nowhere.“Could he have Willow?” I asked.“He says not.”“And you haven’t heard from Niall?”I didn’t like bringing that up but it had t

Chapter Fifty-Seven - Concealment

Adam’s POVI was rapidly losing patience.“To do what? Is this a hoax?”Rose’s hand on my arm told me I’d been shouting. The silk shirt felt strange against my muscles and I’d only consented to wear it for her. And because Erica insisted.Mom was right to stay out of it.“Who’s here, Seth?” my queen asked.“Someone who says he used to be a Gamma.”“Hodges.”We said the name at the same time. Yet I couldn’t help thinking Niall was my third.Had he deserted us, too? Was he here on behalf of another, his new master perhaps?“Wait a few minutes. If I’m not back after that, sound the alarm for lockdown.”“Yes, my king.”“Adam, I’m coming with you.”“Don’t be difficult, Rose. Tell her, Mom.”But my mother just shrugged and said something about making tea.“At least take your bodyguard,” my mate pleaded.By the time I’d followed her advice it was too late. The cloaked figure – that was how Seth had described him – had vanished and when we dashed back to the chamber, my Omega queen was gone,

Chapter Fifty-Eight - Renewed Hope

Rose’s POVI couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I’d only ventured to the kitchen for a glass of water. Michaela was nowhere to be seen. I wouldn’t have known what to say to her anyway.Without his mark I felt incomplete.Adam’s relief on seeing me soon turned to the inevitable anger.“I told you to stay put, woman.”“And if I had this apparition might have taken me.”He’d been telling me how the mysterious visitor had simply vanished. Could there be a new threat in the form of a vengeful witch? I doubted it. But maybe Alpha Lewis had inherited some of Brandon’s magical qualities.If so, he needed taking down once and for all.Poor Seth came in for a roasting but anyone would have fallen for it. And Adam himself had taken the bait.Marcus had news for us as we ate later. It seemed Alpha Connor was acting strangely, his cousin’s cruel side coming to the fore in him. Rumours were rife that Alpha Horace was about to step in.He said he’d already informed Erica who was going

Chapter Fifty-Nine - Making Plans

Adam’s POVSomething must be done about Hodges. I wouldn’t put it past him to welcome back the hybrid Alpha Lewis and declare himself his second. That wasn’t on.I knew Rose couldn’t understand why I was treating Reed so well. Women and warcraft didn’t mix, though Lycan females could make good warriors.She would never be alone with him but I did permit a catch up during which she learned that her sister was improving daily before she was abducted.And now, apparently, she had been rescued yet again. I really hoped Trevor was behaving himself around her, though suspected Niall would keep him in line.The positive thing was that we had another medic at last. It may not even be temporary which would mean Red Riding were vulnerable if and when there were casualties. I’d once tasked Rose with helping to avoid more bloodshed; now I was minded to teach this pack a lesson.Was there no loyalty among its so-called leaders? What an example to set.George had already informed me that the virus

Chapter Sixty - Rescue Comes At A Price

Willow’s POVWhere did it all go wrong? When I saw Alpha Lewis’ face at the window or was it because I didn’t immediately say so to the Lycan?The bloodsuckers were out in numbers, up for a feeding frenzy, and the blonde woman I’d seen before was among them.“Jason will be pleased,” she said, flexing her fingers.I cringed to see the elongated nails, painted green.“How did you get in?” I blurted.“One of my little friends invited me,” she gushed. “Now, all you have to do is submit to your Alpha. Beckon him, or I’ll slit this one’s throat.”“No!” I shrieked.“Don’t do it, Lolo.”Niall looked so determined, so heroic I almost swooned.Jane removed the knife from his neck and pierced his skin with a fingernail.“So fresh,” she purred.“Run, girl!”I wanted to stay and watch the fight but for some reason I felt compelled to obey him. Mom had often told us your true mate would condition you to follow his lead. Had I found him? Alyssa was in no state to know. And it may be different with a
