ALPHA MICHAEL POVI followed Raina to the office. I knew where this conversation as going to go and anything that she said to me I am sure that I would deserve. I fucked up. I knew that. I used to think t it was fun to sleep around. Hell, I couldn’t even begin to guess how many women I had slept with over the last few years. Although Maria told me that several of the she-wolves were offering up their opinions about that number. And it was far from flattering.I made a lot of bad choices. You would think that having a crazy woman in your bed once or twice would cause you to learn a thing or two, but I never did. Not after a human woman hunted me down at a bar after a one-night stand. Not after I slept with a third pack member, and she kept showing up in my office. Not even after one of them threatened to cut off my dick. Nope. None of those made me change my ways.Callan had learned. He slept with a lot fewer she-wolves than I did, but he learned. Once a sh

Part 2 Chapter 7 The girls got in the car, not specifically noticing the threat. It wasn’t a strong scent, but at least one rogue was clearly in the area. I looked back at Beta Davis and Clark. They both seemed to be alerted to the rogue in the area. “Beta Davis?” I turned back towards him, thankful that the girls were in the car already. Lizzie caught my eye, and I knew that she was also aware of the threat. I was thankful that even though we couldn’t mind-link anymore, that we still had a strong connection, and she knew the importance of keeping the girls occupied. “Alpha Michael is sending a patrol. The scent isn’t strong, but there has clearly been a rogue here.” Beta Davis directed Clarke to check the area around the building. “Raina, I am going to take you all back to the packhouse. Please stay inside until we are sure the threat is addressed.” “Of course. How would they know I was here?” I asked, not certain how the rogues would know where I wa

I made my way back to the packhouse. As I walked, I noticed the progress in setting up for the ceremony. Three tents had been set up. There were lights being strung from each of the tents as I walked by. Flower arrangements were already placed around each tent. One tent was set up with chairs and a small table at the front, which was where the Luna Ceremony would take place. The other two tents were set up with a DJ booth, dance floor, two long buffet tables, and other tables and chairs for sitting and eating.I entered the kitchen. It was 10:00.  The rest of the girls would be here at 11:00 to start getting ready for the Luna Ceremony. I decided that this bit of down time would be a good opportunity to process what happened with Lela. I have found it to be very useful to talk things through with Lela whenever we have used our abilities, whether it be using it simply, like I had done with Maria, or using it more substantially like I had just done with the rogue.I

ALPHA CALLAN POV A growl erupted from deep within my chest and Rollo came roaring to the surface. I instinctively pulled Raina behind me, my need to protect her ever present as I tried to process what the witch had just told us. Sarah took a step back at the growl, moving behind my desk. Beta Jack stepped in between me and Sarah, clearly aware that Rollo was on the brink of taking control. “What do you mean they want to kill her?” I roared, my anger and frustration creeping higher and higher. Raina placed her hand on my back and before I could speak further, I could feel a sense of calmness go through me. It was not a lot, but enough my anger to decrease to a reasonable amount. “Thank you.” I spoke to Raina through mind-link. I was still upset, but the calmness was enough that Rollo was not ready to attack someone. I pulled Raina in front of me, embracing her. “That was just through the mate bond, but if you hadn’t calmed down, I would have us

The morning came much too quickly. I grabbed my phone to check the time. 7:30. That was much too early for me to get up. I turned back over in the bed, looking to see if Callan was still in bed. I was met with an empty bed. I had gotten used to Callan getting up before me. He liked to run patrol early. Every morning, he would run along two of the pack borders. He also would run along the rocky terrain on the third side of the pack territory line. The fourth border line was about 60 miles from the packhouse, so Callan would only typically run that border on the weekends. There were very few houses along that part of the pack territory, but six warriors and their families maintained the pack border out there. That land also served as a good location for more housing if we needed to expand beyond our initial plan.I got up and showered, thinking through the plan for today. I was meeting with the builders to discuss the renovation of the two bedrooms to expand our suite. Callan t
