Alpha Kennedy kept me waiting for his arrival, just as I knew he would. He thought of himself as more important than a normal alpha, he wanted everybody to do things on his terms and to his timescales. That was fine by me, it made him predictable and easy to manipulate, something I intended to take advantage of today. I was seated at a table in the middle of the cafe with Rowan and my gamma, Pierre. Many of my top warriors were seated at tables around the room, providing safety in case alpha Kennedy wanted to try anything stupid. I didn’t think that he would in the presence of humans but the evidence I had against him was pretty damning, and people tend to lash out when they feel trapped. Many of my warriors had opted to order lunch while we were waiting but I couldn’t afford the distraction and opted just to have a coffee instead. In hindsight that probably wasn’t one of my better decisions, after quickly draining my second cup I was already starting to get jittery and alpha Kenned

I was sitting in the kitchen, nursing a cup of camomile tea in the hopes that it would calm some of my nerves. It wasn’t freaking working though. What I really needed was to know if Mason and Dominic were safe but nobody in this stupid pack would tell me what was going on. Most of the strongest pack members had left with Mason and none of them had come back yet. It would probably be so easy for me to escape at the moment, so how come that was the last thing that I wanted to do. The only thing I wanted was to hold Dominic and Mason in my arms so that I could know they were both safe. It made no sense for me to care about either of them in this way. One of them had rejected me and the other one wanted to claim me regardless of my own views on the subject. Yet somehow both of them had crawled into my heart and were refusing to leave. It was as confusing as hell and even my wolf couldn’t deny it after last night. Why did I have to come to this realisation when neither of them were anyw

Lying to Mason made me feel awful, he was so concerned about me when I said that I needed to go to bed early. I had to do it though, there was no other way of keeping everyone in this pack safe while I rescued Dominic. Besides, I was still hoping that I would be able to make it back before anyone realised that I was missing. Getting out of the house and the pack unseen was easier than I had thought it would be. It was later and most of the pack members had gone home to get some rest after Mason came back home, so the house and the streets were mostly empty. I even felt relaxed though to turn on my phone and check my messages as I travelled through the forest towards the border. Both Nolan and Kaiden had been calling and messaging me almost constantly since I arrived at Mason’s pack. I hadn’t known how to respond to them so I had turned off my phone while I worked out what I was going to do. Now I needed both of them to help me so I had to hope that they wouldn’t be too upset about m

Alpha Dalton led me down the corridors of his house in complete silence. I know that his beta and gamma were giving him instructions over mind link but not being able to hear them made me feel more out of the loop, and I didn’t like it. She was my mate and I needed to make sure she was safe, I needed to hold her in my arms and make sure that everything was OK.I also needed to remove this damn rejection, I couldn’t bear having it hanging over our heads any longer. If Mason wanted to take her away from me then he was going to have to kill me to do it. I was done pretending that I could ever give her up.“Where is she?” I asked, unable to take the silence any longer.“At the moment she is in the forest just outside the far side of her father’s territory.” Alpha Dalton replied without even so much as looking at me. We were getting close to his car now and he had picked up the pace, so much so that I was almost having to jog to keep up with him.“The far side, I wonder why she chose to ap
