~Brady~“Lindsey doesn’t have a bodyguard. I’m with her until Logan can get down here.” I get a random mindlink from Trey who rarely speaks at all, even to me. I’m out of the office and on Logan’s ass in a second. “Why the hell are you not with her?” I yell, my patience already thin from the reports that Dad has sent me to look over. Apparently peace talks with the king are getting drawn out. I’ve got to find evidence of all the wrongdoings that Walt has committed or potentially committed in our pack. It’s turning out to be a monumental task, not to mention a pain in my ass. “Dude, I pick her up from the Gamma floor every day. She didn’t tell me she was going to breakfast this morning. I’m on my way.” I grit my teeth in frustration. “I’m sorry. I just-“ “You’re stressed the fuck out. Try caffeine. And maybe some sleep. I’ll come help after school today.” He grabs his keys and opens the door before pausing. “Why don’t you come see Lindsey? It might help. Seeing your mate and all.”

~Lindsey~I rub my head from exhaustion. Midterms are coming up, and I’m working myself thin trying to prepare myself and the guys, not to mention Luna Maci driving me insane over planning the spring pack party. I keep finding party planning pages mixed in with my school notes and vice versa. I feel like my head is about to explode. I put the study guide for history in the school pile instead of the luna notes pile. I look around the office that I was assigned, trying to figure out where I put the notebook that I scribbled the florist’s phone number in. Lately, I’ve felt so distant from everyone. It’s been a week since Callie’s birthday and the discovery of her mate. She and Trey have been almost inseparable, understandably so. Deanna and Willow are busy planning her last howl, a party for she wolves before their mating ceremony. I was supposed to help, but Luna Maci said I have other responsibilities. Dad has taken on extra shifts at the hospital. I can tell he hates living in the

~Brady~I’m so pissed that I could rip someone’s head off. There was no way for Lindsey to know who handled what in our pack. My mom should have told her. She should have given her explicit instructions and listed who to call in each situation. She sure as hell shouldn’t have overwhelmed her to the point of tears. When Grant mind linked me to tell me Lindsey was having a breakdown, I basically sprinted to her office door. Lindsey might have a temper, but she rarely freaks out on anyone, especially people she loves. As soon as I opened the door, I could tell something was up. The notebook barely missing my head just confirmed it. I stand with Lindsey in the front of the room, holding her hand. Everyone who is in charge is present in this room. Gina and Mom are the last two to enter, chatting about something casually like old friends. The sight of it pisses me off even more. Both of them should have been in the trenches with Lindsey. “Thank you all for coming short notice. As you al

~Brady~ I look around but don’t spot Lindsey. I’m thinking he might be right. “Where the hell is my luna?” I say, growing more irritated by the second. They both whip around to look at me. Grant responds. “Um…. About that….” He looks at Colton for backup. Colton’s whole body moves as he sighs. “Someone just took her.” “What?!” I yell with every ounce of my being. I’m pretty sure the windows in the packhouse shook. Warriors immediately start running from inside and around the sides of the building. “Find her! Now! No one rests until Lindsey is back safe!” “Brady, wait,” Colton grabs my arm which is already turning black with fur. “She knew whoever it was. She went willingly.” That stops me dead in my tracks. Knight stops trying to force himself out. My brain shuts off for a second. “She what?” “She knew who it was. We didn’t see him. He must be stealthy. I didn’t recognize the voice, but she did. We barely heard anything until she started running towards it. We too

~Lindsey~I clap my hands, almost giddy with excitement. “Brady, please?” I look up at him, batting my eyelashes. “I’ve missed having him around so much. He’s like a brother to me.”“I mean at least I’m asking. I could just get approval to be with my alpha who happens to be in your pack at the moment. Where is he, by the way?” Brady shifts uneasily. I can tell he’s not Hunter’s biggest fan. “At the hospital. With his brother.” “Damn. I heard you did a number on Blaine. Son of a bitch had it coming, if you don’t mind me saying so. I’d like to tour your facilities as well. We need a serious overhaul here. Jagger mentioned they were top notch.” Hunter just keeps seesawing on Brady’s nerves, complimenting him one second and irritating him the next. I’ll definitely have to talk to him about toning some of his sarcasm down. He can be so rough around the edges, but he’s got a heart of gold. “We would be honored to have you. After my father returns.” Brady says flatly. I rub his arm, tryi

~Brady~ “Well you seem better today.” Colton says as we all meet in my office as we do every morning. “We have good news. Dad and Uncle Dave are coming home, the council conducted their business, and the king is commending our pack on its dedication to justice.” I offer a small smile though I can’t help but notice the couch behind him as I give bullshit reasons as to why my mood improved. “Nah somethings different. I feel better this morning. Almost like…” Grant drifts off. “No way! You banged my cousin?!” I sigh and place a hand on my head. So it’s true that the gamma’s mood improves when the luna’s does. At least I know Lindsey was satisfied after our activities last night. “Dude no way! Congrats!” Colton says, offering me a high five that I do not accept. “Congrats? This isn’t good news! He slept with my cousin!” Grant says, outraged. “Oh I’m sure they did a lot more than sleep.” Colton says smirking. “Besides what the hell did you think? She’s his mate. They were going

~Lindsey~“Shit.” Logan says out of the blue. “What’s wrong?” I ask. He’s escorting Deanna and me to the lunch room, our new normal since he became my on campus bodyguard. “I don’t know if I should tell you. You’re not gonna like it.” He rubs the back of his neck and bites his bottom lip nervously. “What? Is Brady ok?” I grab his arm, concerned. “Yeah he’s fine. At least I think he is.” Logan squints his eyes, cringing at something that I’m assuming he’s receiving over a mind link. “Tell me, I’ll get Grant to.” Deanna threatens from my other side. “He wouldn’t. This is bro coded.” Logan looks at Deanna with doubt. “I have my ways. He’ll tell me.” She returns his look confidently. “What? You can’t show him your boobs or anything. You’re at school. He’s at the packhouse.”Deanna takes it as a challenge then suddenly gasps. “Oh my gosh!” “Wait he told you?” Logan is shocked. Deanna leans in and lowers her voice. “Jacqueline went to the alpha office in lingerie and tried to sedu

~Brady~The next day, Dad finally returned home. As much as I enjoyed running the pack, I was glad to hand the majority of the work back over to him. He commended me for my job well done and told me he’d take over tomorrow. He said that he and Mom had some catching up to do which totally grossed me out. I’m almost finished with my work when I get a knock on the door. “Come in.” I call, continuing to work. As soon as the door opens, the scent of lavender and vanilla mixing in perfect harmony fills my nostrils and sets my body at ease. “Thought I’d come keep you company. I heard your parents were out of the packhouse for the day. We finally got everything set up for the welcome home party, so I’m finished for the week.” Lindsey says happily as she sits across from me. “Glad to hear it.” I smile at her before continuing to work. “Did you set a date for the spring pack party?” “Yep! Gina helped me find a Saturday that fits nicely into the schedule, and your mom loved my theme idea.”

~Lindsey~ I finish applying my makeup and take another look at my hair, making sure nothing is out of place. Not that I’ve got some elaborate hairstyle, but I want to look nice for Brady tonight. I stand up a little too quickly and immediately feel sore from our escapade earlier today. He can get a little overzealous in the moment. I’m not complaining though; he knows exactly what to do to make me reach heights I’ve never been to before. I walk back to my room and pull on black skinny jeans and silky red top. I fluff out my curls and slide into some cute ankle boots. “Grant!” I call as I enter the living area of the gamma floor. “Sup?” He looks back at me from the couch. “Nope.”“What do you mean ‘nope’?” I ask puzzled. “Nope you’re not wearing that. You do not need to get pregnant tonight.” He crosses his arms and shakes his head. “Oh give it up Grant. You act like she doesn’t smell like Brady.” Aunt Cammie rolls her eyes. I blush, a bit embarrassed. “Mom, what the hell? Why
