Beta Greyson’s Point of View:
In spite of repeated requests, my alpha and best friend could not explain why I was babysitting the daughter of Alpha Silverton.
*Sidenote the last name of the Alpha and his family are the same as the packs, many generations ago, the first Silverton created this pack*
I followed Stephanie to her apartment, watched her leave once she took off the brown-haired wig, gloves, and glasses. She is hot, really hot! She was wearing a wrap around gold dress that fit her curves perfectly, with a v-cut neckline, that showed the tops of her well-endowed cleavage. I was in love.
StephanieI have the strongest sense that I need to open my eyes, but I find it so hard to do so due to my brain feeling so fuzzy. In the midst of this darkness, it seems so overwhelming. As I try to open my eyes, I'm letting my other senses take over until I am able to focus on them again. It is already obvious that my writs are on fire, and I can smell some sort of putrid odor coming from them. As I breathe in the smell, I almost feel sick to my stomach.
Stephanie – The legend speaks of wolves finding guidance from the moon goddess in a mystical land. That never happened for us. Instead of otherworldly meetings, there's just Aurina, my shimmering and bothersome wolf companion. I lounged on the soft grass, inhaling its earthy smell, until Aurina pushed me out with a crude, territorial gesture that left me speechless—she urinated right beside my head. "Aurina, really? That's disgusting," I groaned, making a face. "The ground was dirty to begin with," Aurina quipped with a smirk. "I like to believe it was clean," I countered, clinging to a nicer illusion. "Foolish girl," Aurina chuckled in her raspy voice. "I command here, and I won’t let you rest on my turf once I've claimed it." Reluctantly standing, I accepted my place outside her claimed territory. "
Brock's Perspective— Beside Stephanie's hospital bed, the room smelled like antiseptic, and I gently held her pale hand in mine. We felt a spark where our hands met, creating a strong electrifying mate connection. I knew Stephanie's family was nearby, and I braced myself for their questions. Despite Stephanie's efforts to hide our bond, I knew deep down that we were meant to be together. Seeing Stephanie motionless in her hospital bed, her golden hair splayed out upon her pillowcase, filled me with deep sorrow. Our bond was strong between Stephanie and I, which brought back the memories of my mother, who had a strong mate bond with my own father, which haunts my memories now in the presence of reliving the kidnapping and loss of my mother. It was Stephanie now lying unconscious in that hospital bed. "What should I do with you, Stephanie?" I whispered, feeling overwhelmed by inner confusion. Having thought I would never have a mate, and now she lays before me
Lisa’s Point of View ---I have not existed since that blonde bimbo ran out of Brock's office. He had spent all of his time and manpower trying to find her. When he sent the beta and I a mind-link, I was already in the packhouse.After he took the blonde into the hospital, I smelled her all over him as he registered her. As a matter of fact, I hoped that bimbo would die; he never seemed bothered by other females who ended up in the pack hospital.I reluctantly let some of our pack-Omega's set up rooms for Alpha Silverton's family as Brock requested. I hadn't expected Justin Silverton, one of the sons of Alpha Silverton, to be standing behind me. The most amazing scent I've ever encountered hit me at that moment. There is nothing better than the smell of homemade candy canes. When I was only five, my mother died during the war, so I haven't been able to smell those since.Justin turned me around, kissed me, and I sank into his lips as his heat enveloped me. In the midst of his embrace,
Grayson’s Perspective – As dusk settled in, I finished my work in the busy packhouse. I had helped Janice, who worked tirelessly, get the guests from Silverton’s pack settled into their rooms. Quietly following her, I watched as she rushed out of the packhouse, clearly troubled. This worried me; Janice, Brock, and I had always been close, almost like siblings, united by our shared experiences of war. Shrouded by the approaching embrace of twilight, I lingered in the slender shadows cast by the packhouse, my gaze trailing Janice's retreating form as she vanished into the softly lit entrance of our pack hospital. I presumed she sought advice from Alpha Brock, her urgency seemed clear through her facial expressions, a silent storm brewing beneath her purposeful stride. Janice soon reappeared, tears streaming down her cheeks, her chest breathing in and out with sobs. Blinded by grief, she stumbled across the moonlit street and vanished into the dense woods. Silently, I followed an unse
Grayson - Under the canopy of twilight, I clasped Janice's hand, her fingers entwining with mine as they had in the sun-dappled days of our youth. With hearts pounding and the crispness of adventure in the air, we sprinted toward the serene expanse of the lake that lay cradled in the North Shore's embrace. The water beckoned to us like an old friend, its surface sparkled with the last golden rays of a setting sun. For us, who grew up as close as siblings, the lake was our refuge, a place where the symphony of splashes and joyful shrieks became the melody of our existence. As we shed the constraints of our clothing down to the barest of essentials, our laughter echoed with an unrestrained glee reminiscent of a time when life was simpler. The old tire swing, which hung from the wise old oak by the bank, was our chariot. Amid the sounds of creaking rope and our own anticipatory screams, we swung out over the heart of the lake, our bodies slicing through the humid air. With a collective
Brock's Perspective –The complexities of life as an Alpha were never more apparent to me than now, as I grappled with the intricacies of the mate bond that tied me to Stephanie Silverton. My nerves were frayed from hours upon hours of grueling interrogations, probing the minds of Yadiel's captured men whilst wrestling with my own internal turmoil. The weight of walking away from my mate, feeling the unseen tug on my very soul, left both my wolf and me in a state of heightened tension. To exacerbate the situation, Janice's unwarranted admission of love, made brazenly in the presence of Stephanie's brother—a man who viewed me with nothing short of revulsion—deepened the sting of betrayal. In facing Janice's affections, I confess, I may have lost my temper in an unbecoming manner.I had overheard the entirety of the heart-to-heart by the lake's edge—a familiar sanctuary we had known since our toddler days—where my beta and Janice discussed the rawness of her emotional wounds. I chastised
