Chapter 21 - Dominic

The dull ache in my chest had slowly been getting worse, I knew it was because of the rejection but that didn’t make me feel any better. Brianna had looked as though she was doing okay when I left her but as an alpha I wouldn’t expect her to let others see her pain. It would make her look weak.Hopefully she wouldn’t hold the rejection or the pain against me and we can still be together after this. If I could have gotten away without actually saying the words I would have, but alpha Dalton had to send that stupid omega with me to report back to him. I had no choice other than to do what I did, she had to understand that.“Will you stop fidgeting, you are driving me crazy.” Franklin took another sip of his coffee. He was just as nervous as I was but his way of detailing with it was to complain whereas I preferred to keep moving. Although I had to admit that complaining had some benefits too. “I just can’t believe that for the second time in two days, we are waiting for alpha Dalton t

Chapter 22 - Mason

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

Chapter 23 - Dominic

I couldn’t tell how many of them were down there but it sounded as though there were a lot of them. They crashed through the front door and started making their way through the house like a pack of rabid dogs, screaming and shouting as they moved from room to room.“What are we going to do?” I whispered, my eyes darting around the room for a place to hide and coming back with nothing. “We have to hide, there is no way that we can fight our way out of this pack.” Franklin replied, looking just as panicked as I did. He opened a window then took hold of my hand and led me out of the room. He ran to the end of the hallways before jumping up to pull on a string that I hadn't even noticed was there. It was difficult to spot and that was what Franklin was counting on, he was hoping that the werewolves would assume that we had fled through the open window rather than hidden in the attic. It was a long shot but what other choice did we have right now? Franklin gave me a boost into the atti

Chapter 24 - Brianna

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

Chapter 25 - Mason

Brianna went to bed shortly after ten but the rest of us stayed in my office to discuss the problem. I knew that Rowan and Pierre weren’t convinced that we should waste our time trying to save Dominic and Franklin. They didn’t say anything but I could tell that they thought it was pointless, that alpha Kennedy would have killed them long before we got there. They were probably right but I had to try, otherwise the guilt would eat at me. It was me that had sent them into that pack and deep down I knew that the plan was flawed. I had rushed into it because I wanted to get him away from my future mate before they could develop feelings for each other. I shouldn’t have done that and now his potential death was on my shoulders and I wasn’t sure that I could live with that kind of guilt. We had spent the last three hours looking at maps of alpha Kennedy’s territory, looking for any kind of weakness and coming back with the same answer. The problem wasn’t getting into the pack, that was go

Chapter 26 - Brianna

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

Chapter 27 - Nolan

My heart ached as I drove away from Brianna. I didn’t want to be driving into that pack with all of this going on in my mind, I wanted to punch something or drink my own body weight in alcohol. Instead I was driving straight into a high pressure situation where I would need to use all of my intellect and cunning. I wasn’t even sure if this plan was going to work, the last time that I had seen my father and my alpha they had chased me out of the pack. It wasn’t as though I had completed the mission that they had given me, so I had to think of some other reason for being here in the next couple of minutes. There were a few things that I could try but I wasn’t sure that either of them would be enough to distract from my real reason for being here. If I managed to get out of this alive with the codes it would be some kind of miracle. Alpha Kennedy must have been notified of my arrival the moment that I crossed the border because within a few seconds it felt like all my family were tryin

Chapter 28 - Dominic

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

Chapter 29 - Mason

This beta had been testing my patience from the start but it was a mistake for him to admit his feelings for Brianna. Even with my increased control over my wolf, there was only so much that I could do, and once I knew he had made an attempt to take her from me earlier today I was fighting a losing battle.My wolf growled and surged forward so quickly that I didn’t stand a chance in hell of holding him back. I found myself being forced to watch as my wolf lunged forward and grabbed this beta by the neck and sent the two of us tumbling to the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Dominic and Rowan getting out of the car and running over to me. They needed to move quickly, my wolf wasn’t thinking rationally and he was out for blood.“How dare you try to steal my mate from me beta,” My wolf growled. His grip on the beta’s throat tightened causing the beta to gasp for air while clawing at my hand. My wolf was not deterred by this, his claws dug into the skin at the back of his nec

Chapter 30 - Brianna

Things were going much too well. Kaiden and I had already managed to get through the boundary fence and into the building through the back exit without anyone noticing our presence here. It had been smooth. For a plan that I had come up with in a few minutes when I was worried about my mate and sleep deprived, it was far too good to be true.The next part was going to be the hard part, I wasn’t sure where in the building my father would be keeping Dominic or his family. I was sure however that it wouldn’t be long before they would notice our presence, so we were going to have to either work fast or fight our way out.We moved in silence through the ground floor of the building until we reached the elevator. There were five floors to this vast building, three of which were underground. The two floors that were above ground looked to be set up as office units in the blueprints that I had seen. So, I figured that the lower floors were where he would be keeping his prisoners. Although, th
