Alpha Callan’s POVI paced my office, looking through the reports on my desk for the hundredth time, not finding anything new. It has been three days since Raina has been taken. Three days since rogues came on to my pack territory and were able to capture her easily. The rogues had clearly been studying the patrols of the territory line and knew exactly when to move through the area undetected.Elder Rosemarie was able to identify the rogues and I knew as soon as she described them to me that they were Xavier’s men. Xavier had been trying for some time to organize the rogues into a pack, and he had pretty much succeeded. We knew that he had a large pack of rogues. We had some idea of where the pack was located, but it was only a rough idea.I pushed the papers off my desk, frustration mounting.  “FUCK!” I yelled, my anger rising.A knock at the door pulled me from my rage. “Enter,” I yelled, a bit louder than I int

The sound of birds chirping outside made me almost forget where I was. The sounds were peaceful, but I was anywhere but someplace peaceful. I would be remiss to say that I wasn’t disappointed that Alpha Callan hadn’t arrived. Deep in my heart I was hoping that they would have arrived sometime overnight.I laid in bed, contemplating the situation that I was in. I knew that I had demonstrated too many abilities yesterday and Xavier would be expecting more. I filled with dread as I thought about what Xavier had planned. I also wondered how he planned to force me to engage these abilities. I clearly was capable of not using the abilities.  As a gained more knowledge about the abilities and skills, it was clear that I would be able to control the use of the abilities.  I already did that in many ways. I wasn’t constantly emoting or causing emoting in others.I pondered my plan for today. There was no way that I was going to give Xavier the demons

Raina’s POVThe sounds of growls and snapping forced me from my sleep. The growls came from right outside my door.  Anxiety and anticipation propelled me and I jumped out of bed and yanked at the door, hoping that it would open. It did not move. I looked around, desperate to find something that I could use to open the door, but I knew that there was nothing.I spotted the window and I could see that it was still early morning, as just a hint of light could be seen from the window. I paced around the room, nervous energy rushing through me. I fiddled with the restraints on my wrist, wishing that I could break through them. I desperately wanted to communicate with anyone from my pack, to know who was coming for me, to know what I could do to help out.The sudden rise in voices in the hall caused me to jump back and the wall outside of my room shook, as if someone has been thrown against the wall. Wolves and humans could be heard all around my room. The

We made our way out of the cells and back toward the open grounds of the training field. I was surprised at the amount of commotion around the field. Tables were being set up, lights were being strung, and a bonfire was being prepped. I could hear Katy and Lizzie in the distance, busily moving around, giving orders, and setting things up. I was in awe of everything that is going on and the buzz in the air was almost electric.  It has only been 20 minutes since Lizzie mind-linked me and the activity was already kicked up in high gear.Callan laughed at the sight. “Raina, I need to go meet with Beta Jack and Beta Davis. I suggest if there is something that you would like to see during this celebration, you go let those two know soon, or you won’t have any say.” Callan pulled me closely, his hands firmly on my hips. I looked up at him and smiled, enjoying the closeness of his body. Sudden thoughts of all the things that he will do to me run through my mind

Throughout the night, it seemed as if nearly every pack member had approached me to introduce themselves. It was overwhelming and exhausting, but I was happy.  The bonfire had long ago been started and most wolves were enjoying themselves, eating, drinking, and dancing.“It is tradition for the Luna and the Alpha to dance the last dance. It signifies the end of the public mating ceremony and is a send off to the private mating ceremony.” Lust filled his eyes. Callan leaned in close again. “And I can’t wait to get you back to our room and have you screaming my name all night long.” I shivered as he spoke.‘Damn,’ Lela whispered. ‘And you should hear the things that his wolf is saying to me. It would make you blush.’I couldn’t help but laugh at Lela. Callan looked at me with a questioning look in his eyes.“Lela is telling me all the things that Rollo is saying you are going to do to me
