Summer’s POV “How do you know that?” Nix asked me. I stared at him as my eyes filled with tears. “Wait here.” I told him. I made my way out of the room, sharing my shocked emotion with Alexis. I know for a fact that both my mates are behind me. Their curiosity manifested through the bond. We have been together so long that they know everything about my life. But why would they know about Natalia? I knew her before I met them. I enter my wardrobe. Go to the end shelf and, using a chair, I reach up and pull out a worn-out cardboard box. It’s covered in a layer of dust. It’s been a long time since I opened this box. There are memories from my past stored inside. As I headed down the stairs, I clutched it tightly to my chest. Sitting in front of the fireplace. In front of my family and their mates, I opened the box. “Once upon a time, I trained to be a doctor in the human world. It was beneficial for my pack to have someone trained in obstetrics for that time in a woman’

Nix’s POVThe older adults seem to be discussing something. “I have to do it, Diesel. I have to tell them. It is killing me to look at them.” I walked over to them both. “Caren. Lottie, can I have a word? Please.” I said to them both. “Sure.” They both responded, smiling at me. We walked over to the edge of the room. I took a deep breath. “It’s my fault.” I told them both. Eden appears by my side and holds my hand. “It’s my fault she is dead. She used all of her power to get me there. She would still be alive if it wasn’t for me. It’s eating me alive that I haven’t told you. Please forgive me.” I cried into Eden’s shoulder.A hand rests on my back. Convincing me to turn back. I didn’t know what to expect. But I know it wasn’t a hug from both Caren and Lottie. It only lasts a few seconds before they let go. “You’re not the reason she died, Nix. The Wolf Council was responsible for her death. She died because she knew she could help. Power or no power, if she could help anyone, she woul

Rayne’s POV We spent forever in that office discussing the future of the entire country. Nathan isn’t holding back; he wants change, and he wants it now. Alpha Dalton is telling him exactly how it’s been for a pack like his. Nathan is less than impressed by the lies the Wolf Council has been feeding him. Ethan offered insight into some reports he was receiving from pack members. The Wolf Council didn’t seem to care about many of the issues that would concern us. Including Alpha’s abusing their authority. “The headquarters of the Wolf Council is to be cleared out. I want everything brought here and assessed,” Dawson states angrily. They decided that the new Wolf Council headquarters were to be built a few miles from the palace. “From now on, we will work together to make our kingdom great for most wolves. No secrets, no talismans. Just leaders working together for the best interest of the people.” Nathan tells us all. Ethan excuses himself as he has someone to meet and

Parker’s POV Both of our moods improved after letting Saxon go for a run with Xavier. Maddox and I were able to talk when our wolves allowed us to take over. The idea of me becoming the Alpha was a source of laughter for Maddox, especially since he had lost that status. It means I could offer a home to people like Dani and Caren. I am nervous, but Maddox thinks I was born to be an Alpha of a pack. Especially with Dani being my mate. He also told me he would support me in setting up the pack. He also hoped I would offer him a home. That sets me off crying again. “My home is wherever my family is.” I told him. “That is why I want to take up King Dawson’s offer. Because Millie was like family to me.” I needed to speak to Dani first. With that, we let our wolves have a bit more time together. Before we returned to the palace, I climbed into a car with Liam from the Silver Mountain Pack. It was a long journey and I’m not talking about the distance. He doesn’t have many social ski

Dylan’s POV “He was one of them, wasn’t he?” Melissa asked me. After my run in with Liam, “I think so.” I told her, still holding the dirt in my hand, I put it in my pocket. Melissa is the only one I talked to about my dream. I had to talk to Christina and Nix. But Christina was unreachable. I know she is on her way to Nix. When Parker arrived, I planned on travelling back with him. But after the run in with Liam, I feel I should go now. “I’m coming too. I need to check in on my big brother and my new sister,” she says giddily. When Melissa tells her parents she is going, they decide to come too. “Can’t have both my children so far from home without us,” Luna Stella tells me. At least I can share the driving, so I am not bothered. We made our way to the garage to find Colt standing next to one of the SUVs. He had a suitcase beside him. “I won’t be returning, Vance. Christina is the only family I have and I will stay to support her.” I smiled at him. He sort of adopt
