Canagan’s POV‘I think making sure my fated mate is a bit more important than your fucking bar, Uncle!’ the last word is a sneer. ‘I don’t know what you think Keeva is to you other than a stepsister you once had Channon. One day soon you will be Alpha of Crimson pack. Maybe start acting like one, like your father.’ Channon growls at me in my head. His wolf is angry. ‘I am already Alpha to you and to White Claw pack. Who are you to question me Canagan?’ Even his voice is like the angry snarls of a wolf. ‘Keeva is my mate and I will kill anyone who hurts her or tries to take her from me.’ I don’t know what to say. If what he says is true then Keeva really is a werewolf. How do I tell him she plans to leave Monday, and I’m the one she expects to help her escape? I tell Channon everything about Keeva, Nikita and the Witch. How Julius has been poisoned by Wolfsbane for the last six months and is now riddled with cancer. That Keeva has been working here and saving some of he

Nikita’s POV When she finally comes to her senses and the whole situation dawns on her, she looks worried and a little sick. She has never bought up the fact that I’m made to sleep with her father, and the fact is, she has probably heard a lot of what happens in his room. I notice her eyes are very red, it looks like she has been crying. Such a waste of energy, tears don’t solve problems. I have been so wrapped up in my own problems I completely forgot! ‘Fuck! I’m sorry Keeva. Let’s see your mark then?’ I can’t hide my shock to see the crook of her neck is still untouched. ‘Didn’t he try and give you his mate mark Keeva?’ My confusion apparent from the twisted look on my face. That was the whole point of Alpha Julius putting on that ridiculous display last night. In his mind he was protecting Keeva. She looks as confused as me. Goddess help us all, what the fuck is going on now. I don’t think I can take much more. ‘Get in, we will sort this shit out. Te

Channon’s POVI can’t communicate with Keeva. Without a wolf I am unable to make the mindlink. I growl at her. She doesn’t move. ‘Please, Keeva, move out of the way.’ I beg silently to her. My wolf can’t help but be pulled towards her amazing scent. I almost purr at her as I back down enough for her to not feel threaten. I decide the best thing to do is sift, so I can talk to her. ‘Alpha, please be careful.’ I can feel confusion pulsing from the minds of my Beta’s and High Delta’s behind me. ‘I will be. Keeva is my fated mate. I will not harm her. You will all protect her, do I make myself clear.’ They all give me their obedience. I feel Ebony’s anger, but she dare not disobey me. ‘Channon!’ I smile at her. My transformation into a man is complete. I feel her eyes and she avoids looking at my cock that hangs heavily between my legs. My wolf purrs and rolls around on the floor, he wants his mate. ‘Keeva. I’m surprised you didn’t recognise me yesterday, especially when I

Zev’s POV Alpha Channon is nothing like his predecessor. He is cold and calculating, with no second thoughts on using his Alpha command to make people fall in line, and to punish them. I have been called to meet him at the old ruins by the lake, just as the sun is about to set. It wasn’t him that called me, it was his Beta Jonas. I cringe at the thought of being subservient to these young wolves. I am there elder and I am also his Beta. It was the agreement for going behin Julius and handing them inside knowledge on Julius and when to attack. I only did it so that I would keep my current position. But since his pack members from his home in the south arrived at the start of the week, I have been treated like shit. Not invited to his nightly meetings with Beta Ebony and Beta Jonas, and made to share my home with his people. ‘Ah, Zev, my slippery little wolf. You took your time.’ Alpha Channon greets me when I enter the long-overgrown gardens. I see he is sitting on the

Channon’s POVI tear open the thick, opulent envelope. The embossed paper falls to the table in front of me. I scan over the hand written words that swoop and swirl dramatically over the page. ‘Shifting in a place where humans are’, ‘entering vampire territory without notification’. I tear the letter in two and smash my fist through the solid wooden table I’m sat at. As my intentions were to kill Julius and take back my birth right, I saw no sense in alerting the vampires, I didn’t want to lose the element of surprise. They are far too quick to meddle in the affairs of werewolves, and we are no longer bound to do their bidding. I should have made my presence known since taking my rule as Alpha, but this twaddle about shifting in front of human is ridiculous. Noone saw me at the bar. No reports have been made as such. Canagan would have told me if there were. ‘Alpha?’ Ebony calls me from beyond the door. It has been so awkward between us since I left the pack. I has tho
