Chapter 71Tina’s POVMe- I have Lilee. Her companion is dead. Luna do you want her?Jared-Take her. I look at Lilee in the corner covering herself with a sheet. She is standing there holding the useless gun. Her tears are real.“I would never have let the children be hurt. My father, he wanted to bring down the governments. Hold their systems ransom. I was all him, never me. I wrote a letter,” Lilee rambles as tears roll down her face. “Please I wrote a letter.”I shift back and stand before her. She drops the sheet when she realizes I’m a woman. “Did you know Albert?” I ask standing only a few feet away.“He is a good man. He loves his wife, only wants to make her happy. He talked about her all the time. He is going to the safe house in Commerce. You can find him there,” Lilee tells me.“I watched him die,” I tell her. Lilee’s color drains from her face and her chin trembles. “Hines?”“Dead.”“Kirk?” Her face when she whispered his name was one of intense pain.“De

Chapter 74Nala’s POV“Nick you need your backpack,” Jason runs after him before he leaves for school. I am watching the younger four play in the den after breakfast. It’s been a year now since everything. Nick is 9 and in the fourth grade. Raija started PreK in August and the first two months have worked out well. Sean is talking now and has opinions on just about everything. Kata is talking in broken sentences and Camilla started walking. Jared, Crystal and the boys were just here for a family dinner. Darrick looks more and more like a tanned Jared every single day. Even his hair is lighter. Patrick looks some much like Crystal I swear in a line up you have to do a double take. He is also taking unsteady steps. Mrs. Lancaster comes to take over and I move to my office. While we live on the Beta floor, I do still use Dillion’s Alpha Office for work. I answer a call and have to catch my breath. “Hello this is the secretary for the Nobel committee. We are looking for Dr.

Chapter 76Nala’s POV“Please sit down,” I say to Sean for the millionth time.“Butt in the seat and do not move,” Crystal barks and Sean freezes. I look at her down the row and blink.“I’m only a boy mom, I have the boy mom voice. You have three girls, you still have that soft touch,” Crystal snaps her fingers at Patrick who straightens up. “Fair point,” I say and turn back to the stage. In a few minutes I will watch my mate get a Nobel Prize. He held to his stance and didn’t tell his parents. So it’s Jared, Crystal, the seven kids and me, here to support Jason. Jared is a shaky bag of nerves. Crystal is try to calm him but he can’t stop.“What has you so nervous, Uncle Jared?” Nick asks.“One day when Sean is about to standup in front of hundreds of people you will understand,” Jared says making Crystal laugh. Nick looks down the row at Sean. Nick smiles. “He is more than my brother, he is my Beta.”Crystal puts her finger to his lips to remind Nick to stay quiet. Nick no

Chapter 78Nick’s POV“Why do you hate me?” Raija screams as she stomps away from Mom and Dad.I walk to them in the den and see them holding each other. “Why do you hate her now?” I ask putting my bag down. “We don’t want her dating. She is so close to 18 and her mate could be in the pack, we just don’t want her dating,” Mom explains with sigh. “Mom she has like 6 months,” I sit down and try to relax. There a scent in the den that has me restless. “Fuck.”“Langage!” Mom pops the back of my head.“Mom I’m 23 and graduating in April from college. I need to talk to Dad alone. And I need Dad to promise not to kill me.”“Are you serious?” Dad asks seeing where I’m going.“I’m guess Raija just sat here,” I look up at him. “Oh this perfect,” Mom smiles. “You can tell her not to date.”“Yeah I’m not doing that. And I’m not sleeping here. That would be crazy. I’ll get a hotel off pack and we can have lunch tomorrow the three of us,” I say grabbing my bag. I sense her coming up an

Chapter 80Raija’s POV“So you go to sleep tonight, 17 and when you wake up in the morning you are 18,” Sean explains at dinner. “When does your wolf wake up?”“I hope soon. I have the headache from hell and Dad says it’s my wolf coming through,” I say as I start rubbing my head and Mom rubs my back.“It will get better,” Mom hugs me tight. I try to eat but every bite is like eating glass. I drop my fork and look at my Mom. “Honey,” Mom looks above my head and smiles. “She has a headache.”Then I feel a cooling relief on either temple. Two fingers on either side of my head are moving in circles around and around.“I’ll give you 30 minutes to stop,” I say knowing it’s Nick. “You did this for me five years ago. It’s the least I can do for you,” His voice makes my heart jump. He is rubbing cooling gel into my head . “Now this will work better is you let go and just let me do it.”I smile and try to decide if I want to be cheeky or not. I decide to be cheeky, “Is that what you pl
