MargotJust when you think you’ve seen it all, life throws you a curve ball. My mother got a second chance mate. And not only that, I watched as she slowly walked up to him, assessing him and, if I’m not mistaken, accepting him.Why is it so easy for her? Her life with my father wasn’t any easier than mine was with Joshua. I mean, I know we heard what Edward did for his daughter, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be a good mate. Does it?“Luna June, are you okay if I leave you here with Edward while I take Luna Margot and Luna Jacqueline to the pack hospital to meet Eve?” Dante asks her.“I think we’ll be okay, don’t you, Edward?” mom asks, not looking away from him.“Yes. But I came to get some food for my daughter,” he says, as if he’s just remembered his purpose for coming over here.“How about you and I get her some food and then you can introduce me to Eve. Maybe we can have lunch with her. Margot, Jacqueline, would you like to eat with us?” Mom asks, turning to look at us.“Sure, Mom.”

EveLunch was interesting. First, I’m navigating through the emotional landmine that I found my fated mate less than twenty-four hours after rejecting Corey. Now, my father has found his second chance mate and it’s a bit creepy watching them make googly-eyes at each other as we eat. Luna Margot stepped out, leaving Luna Jacqueline and I to talk.“So, the Lunas, and there are a lot of us in these packs, wanted to talk with you, to assure you that things in these packs are very different than what you’ve experienced before.”“You don’t know what I experienced before,” I tell her.“True, or mostly true. You were a Luna, which most likely means that you were claimed publicly. You ran from your mate and you have a newborn. So, either your mate was cruel to you, or you were worried about how he’d treat your pup, probably both. Am I close?” she asks.I frown and nod.“Most of us were in a similar situation. I was on the run when I found Nikki. She’s another Luna. She’d been kidnapped and was

Dante“How is your mate. I’m looking forward to meeting her soon,” Reese says.“She’s being released from the hospital so that’s a good thing. I’m going to put her on the Alpha floor so she’s close to me and so I can help if she needs assistance with her pup.”“What about her father?”“Well, that is interesting. He’s Luna June’s second chance mate.”“Get the fuck out! How is that going?”“Better than you’d expect,” I say, looking over to where June and Edward are quietly talking in the hallway. “She’s more willing to accept him than some of our younger she-wolves. Whether it’s her age or what he did to protect Eve, she seems happy to spend time with him and get to know him. I’ll be talking to Ezra about that later too.”He chuckles. “You got thrown into the deep end of being an Alpha, didn’t you? A pregnant mate, an Alpha hunting her, a father-in-law finding his second chance mate. How long have you been an Alpha?”“Not very long. Hopefully, once things settle down, they’ll stay that w

Remington“The southern packs are increasing patrols, Alpha,” one of the Watch Tower Guards says as I make my way to the top of the tower.The dynamic we’ve created had the potential to cause significant problems. However, whether it’s because the packs are so unified, or the warriors enjoy being part of the Watch Tower Guard, it hasn’t been a problem at all.When they’re here, I’m the Alpha. I don’t take the place of their Alpha, but they are under my guidance and leadership during their tenure here. Based on the positive feedback that I’ve received from our first few weeks of having tower guards in place, the warriors who have returned home have not only given positive feedback, but they also asked to come more often.Because the southern packs, specifically Dante’s and Miles’s packs are brand new, I’m bringing in more warriors from their packs. Jocelyn agreed to pay them, and those packs need the money more than the others. Jake’s and Reese’s packs are also fairly new, so I’m accept

EzraAfter Margot fell asleep, I put her in bed and curled up around her. I was surprised when she didn’t have any nightmares. I did work extra hard to push Joshua and her time in this pack out of her mind. I’m thankful it seems to have worked.I’m used to waking up for warrior training and even though we went to bed very late, I still wake up just before five.I kiss Margot’s bare shoulder. “Wake up, Margot. Time for warrior training.”Instead of getting up, she groans and snuggles closer to me. Damn. I’d much rather stay here in bed with her, but we both need to practice. War is coming and if my mate doesn’t want to be in a safe room, then I need to know that she’s strong enough to fight.“Come on, you can punch through the rest of Joshua’s demons that I know are still filtering around in your brain. I need you strong when Corey comes to try and take Eve.”That gets her attention. She turns and looks at me.“You’re not going to make me go into a safe room?” she asks.“When have I eve
