Eva's POVMy wolf began pacing back and forth in my mind, she growled lowly wanting to protect her pup. So many questions and thoughts invaded my mind, and I was paralyzed with fear, what was I going to do? Would we make it out of the exit door without being seen?Unaware of footsteps approaching, I'm startled when I hear his deep husky voice utter my name. The sound of my name rolling off his tongue had my body tensing, unable to move from my seat."Eva?" He repeated, his tone shocked and surprised.A cold chill ran down my spine, it was disabling and intense, I couldn't bring my eyes to look upI simply stared at the table in front of me as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. When he said my name once more, I sighed deeply, biting onto my lip before looking up at him through my eyelashes, watching as his eye line caught onto our daughter, his face scrunching up in bewilderment. I took his frozen state as an opportunity to quickly pick up Luara, placing her onto my h

Eva's POV I followed Luara's scent while feeling Torey's presence following closely behind me. He remained silent as we walked through the pack house and into the kitchen where everyone was sitting.Sam, Elijah, and Luara were there along with another wolf and child. I noted immediately that she must have been Sam's mate by the way he held onto her, her stance so light and comfortable. The little girl looks identical to her."Hi, I'm Charlotte." She instantly said a friendly smile beaming across her face as she approached me. I returned the smile and greeted her."Eva," I replied, introducing myself as I searched around to find Luara sitting on the floor along with who I assumed was Sam and Charlotte’s daughter.I could feel Torey standing behind me, my stature turning stiff and full of tension. My argument with Torey is still on my mind and still very fresh."Would you like me to take them outside to play for a little while?" Charlotte suggested, her eyes trained on mine for permiss

Torey’s POVI woke up earlier than usual, my wolf had been restless and frigidity throughout the night. He was excited by the thought of our mate and daughter in the opposite room, he was eager to see them. He desperately wanted to sleep in the same room as them, but I forced him down, we had to respect Eva's wishes. I groaned slightly as I stretched, my bones clicking as I looked at my alarm clock.It was 7 in the morning.I threw my comforter off, pushing myself out of bed and into my bathroom for a quick shower. I mind-linked both Sam and Elijah, requesting a meeting in 45 minutes. They both agreed, and I had to discuss a few matters concerning Eva and Luara with them.Within half hour, I was dressed and already made my way into the kitchen.Only to find Elijah sitting on the stool, eating my chips as Sam shook his head. They were early, but I couldn't complain, it meant I could spend more time with Eva and Luara before having to take them back to Blood Walker's territory.I wasn

Eva's POV Days had passed since I arrived back on Nightshade Valley territory and the news of Elijah and Tina being mates. I was elated for them both, and even more happy that she would be coming to California with us. Tina had always been open and assertive when it came to the idea of having a mate. She had always expressed her excitement in finding him or her, the instant connection and unconditional love.It wasn't as common to find your mate in your early twenties; you would usually find them within the first three years of your shift. The Moon Goddess always planned the meeting of mates, who she picked for you was deliberate and usually not far from you, and if they were, she would make sure you crossed paths.Elijah and Tina had been spending all their time together, they had their own private time when Jake would accompany me to the library to finish my studies.I found out that Jake was only eighteen years old but had already been chosen to be a high-ranked warrior.I was im

Torey’s POVI was running the pack border; it was a routine of mine on a Friday evening. My muscles were tense over the conversation Eva and I had this morning. Olie abruptly turning up in my office had caught me off guard.I haven't seen nor spoken to her for two years, and when I finally ended the casual relationship we had, she was enraged. Completely discontented, she was obsessed with the thought of being with an Alpha, of being an Alpha female.She was infatuated with the prospect. My paws thundered against the forest floor as I raced through the clearing, my heightened senses, inhuman strength, and incredible smell had my wolf running in the west direction of my territory.My wolf growled furiously in my mind, a surge of dominance that came with being an Alpha. We sensed that rogues had crossed our borders without authorization, and he wanted blood.Sensing I was close, I slowed my pace down, scanning the whole vicinity. I had already mind-linked Sam and two of the patrol wolv
