Chapter 82Thirty minutes agoJulian"Are you sure you don't want Freya to be here?" I asked Alpha Gideon, as we piled documents containing evidences detailing Reginald's network and shady businesses. "She feels rejected." "I know I'm a prick, but it's a necessary evil," he said, concentrating on a sheet of paper. "I need my head in the game, that's why I called you alone.""Can't wait to beat the shit out of him," I scoffed, compiling the papers on his work desk. "He'll pay for every pain he caused you, Freya and the pack." "It's show time." Alpha Gideon closed his eyes and connected to the pack link. "Dear Willow Ridge patriots, today marked the beginning of a new dawn for us. We made history for generations to talk about. You gave me the strength to conquer and together, we defended our pack, our pride... our home.''I smirked, admiring his charisma. He's just like his father, a born leader indeed."However, the war is far from over," he continued. "We have traitors, moles, and s

Chapter 84Gideon"I want Elder Reginald banished from the pack effective immediately," I muttered to Julian. "Since he laid his bed with the enemy, he must lie on it."It was the first sentence I could string up without wincing. Zena said sweating was a good sign."It's proof that the healing is working," she said, rising to her feet."He needs to rest. Take him to his chambers." Julian and Freya helped me stand, and I grunted, guarding the pain. "Thank you for saving my life," I said, turning to Zena.She shrugged. "We had a deal." Julian cleared his throat, embarrassed. "I'll ensure you and your sisters have a safe passage out of the pack. You'll leave at first light and never return.""We'll leave tonight," she said. "I've been with him long enough to know what he's capable of when he's betrayed. Do not underestimate him.""I'm not," I answered, leaning on Julian. "That's why I'm sending him out of the pack for good.""Thank you, Zena," Freya muttered. "Your kindness saved Alpha

Chapter 86Freya"I might just get used to living like this everyday," Gideon said, taking a sip from the steamy cup of coffee I brought to his study. "Hmm...just how I like it."I smiled and kissed him lightly on the lip. "Trust me, I know what you like and how you want it served."He set the cup on the table and turned to me, raising a brow. "Are we still talking about hot coffee?" I leaned closer and lowered my voice to a seductive decibel, tracing a line along his lips to his neckline, down to his chest. "You like it creamy and hot, with a cube of brown sugar. Sometimes, you like it in the morning, most times, you prefer it at night, after a long day. So, tell me... how else do you like your coffee served?"He cleared his study desk in one swoop, throwing the books and files to the ground. The coffee cup splintered into many pieces, but we were far gone over our heads to care. My heart rate spiked, goosebumps coating my skin. Pure hunger filled his eyes, building me up for the i

Chapter 88Freya"I'll meet you at the cabin," I said to Maren, passing her a subtle signal.She understood. "Dr Carver, come with me to gather supplies for the journey.""Right away," he nodded, following Maren out of the house.Dad caught on with the message and followed suit. "I'll help with the preparations."Beta Julian cleared his throat. "I'll return to border patrol and see what I can find." Gideon nodded without raising his head, and my shoulders slumped. Beta Julian came to my side and mouthed. "You got this."With that he left, leaving Gideon and me in deafening silence. My heart thumped, as I stood, unsure of the right words to say. I went overboard, and forgot my place. He was my mate, but first, he's the Alpha of the pack.He sat quietly on the sofa with his back to me, looking into the distance out the window. I'd give anything to know what he's thinking.I didn't know where to start from. Should I apologize for disrespecting him in the presence of his subjects? Should

Chapter 90Gideon I called Julian to my office to discuss the progress of the pack. Freya was asleep in the room, yet to recover fully from the exhaustion of teaching all night. I allowed her the rest her body needed to recuperate, while I resumed for work."Finnley sent a message few hours ago," I said. "They got to the settlement unscathed.""Now, you can finally put your mind to rest. You were worried to death."I scoffed. "I can see through your hard shell, Julian. You had your reservations...and I know you miss Finnley. You've grown fond of the kid.''His lips curled into a faint smile. "He proved himself worthy. I was wrong about him.""Oh, you were wrong about many things," I chuckled. "I remember how uptight you were about Freya and her friends when they came to the pack.""Trust is not my forte. Elder Reginald and Cassandra used to be one of us, before we found out who they really were."Julian was more than just my Beta. I respected him as a friend and a trusted confidant.
