Alpha Smith's POVAlex leaves my office upset slamming my door. I don't understand where she could be. I'm upset too, I need her to make this work and If it doesn't work I am in trouble for not following through with his plan. He will probably kill me when he finds out even if she does mate with Alex and not her fated mate. He didn't seem like he really wanted her alive though I'm still not totally sure why he wanted her dead so badly when she can make anyone strong Alpha pups. I need to find her soon. I'm looking at a map trying to figure out where she could have gone when I feel a ripping pain in my chest. "No.... It can't be, he would rather renounce his title and pack then mate with Julisa. Why....Why would he do this to me." I scream with another wave of pain Jason is following him of course the weak imbecile. Another ripping pain Clarissa too is leaving with them. That could bring some trouble for me but she has no idea about him so at least that's safe. I'm not sure how he is go
Michael's POVSaying goodbye to Julisa was the hardest thing. She stands here cling to me bawling her eyes out Shade finally walked over grabbing my shoulder "I got her bro." He says pulling her from my arms. I cringe watching him wrap his arms around her. I know he has a thing for her. I hold back my growl turning to climb in the SUV. Closing my eyes once I am not being able to stand watching him hold her any longer. I know he wouldn't ever do anything because he is my brother but it still bugs the shit out of me everytime I hear he is with her. I kept trying to get Jarus to train her but he would always tell Jarus he insisted he do it. With him being the pack Gamma Jarus would back off and let him. I couldn't Alpha command him to stop or it would cause issues with mom. So I grin and beared it. That's why I have to get this done now so I can spend more time with my mate and pups. Leaving Shade and Jarus behind with some warriors wasn't my favorite plan but I still needed someone her
Julisa POVI wake up feeling exhausted. I slept horrible without Michael. I slowly drag myself from bed and go to the closet getting dressed. I grab my shoes and drag my feet to the stairs. Stopping to hype myself up for the journey down. I groan grabbing the railing and slowly start the trek down. Stopping at the bottom to catch my breath. I make my way down to the field seeing Shade in the distance. I sit on my usual bench catching my breath and wait for him to come over to me. Shade makes his way over after finishing his conversation with Jarus. "Morning sunshine." He says with a smile. "Morning." I grumble back. He takes my shoes and starts putting them on. "Someone didn't sleep too well." Shade says. "No I'm sorry, I just can't sleep without him." I whisper. "It's okay Julisa I understand." Shade says helping me up. We then make our way over to the track. Shade stops letting me catch my breath. Then we start walking the 1.5 miles very slowly today as I feel so exhausted. We stopp
*****Trigger Warning For Loss*****Michael's POVWe finally pulled into our pack grounds driving right through the gate since no one was there to let us in anyway. I turned the travel time from Blood Lake pack to Shadow pack into a 4 hour drive. I stop the SUV right by the broken gate and shift into Erebus with everyone that was with me following suit. 'Where are the rogues we are here to help!' I shout into the pack link. There is no response back to me. I take off for the pack house. As we get closer I can see Jarus slumped over a body on the ground a few meters from the pack house. My running slows. No no I start shaking my head in denial it can't be Julisa it just can't. I pick back up my speed coming up next to Jarus. I shift back looking down at him. I look around and see a dead Alpha Smith a few more feet away. "Where is everyone?" Remy says next to me. "Remy!" A frantic scream is heard coming from the pack house. "Charity!" Remy yells back running to her.I bend down next to J
*****Trigger Warning*****Julisa POVI wake to an all to familiar bright white room. "Mom, Dad." I say into the whiteness. "We are here baby girl." I see mom appear and then dad. Mom wraps me in her arms then dad wraps his arms around us too. "Am I dead." I ask confused. "Not yet baby." Mom says taking a step back from me as they both drop there arms. "Buckwheat prepare yourself. What we have to tell you is not the best news." Dad says looking at me with sorrow in his eyes. "Oh god did Shade die." I say putting my hand to my mouth. "I'm afraid that answer is yes sweet girl." Mom says touching my cheek. "It's all my fault." I say as tears rush down my face. "Shhhh baby girl." Dad soothes coming around to rub my back. "Sweet heart do you remember what all happened?" Mom asks me cautiously. I stop thinking a little and it all rushes through me. "I'm in labour and he in....I...injected me with vampire blood. My babies." I say grabbing my stomach. Mom looks at me with tears in her eyes. "R
Julisa POVI woke up to Triton crying. "I got you buddy. Daddy's here." I hear Michael say as I assume he picks him up from the hospital bassinet. "I'll make him a bottle." I say rolling over slowly sitting up and stepping out of the bed grabbing the bottle they brought us and formula. "I wish I could just feed him." I sigh. "I know gorgeous, but you lost too much blood." Michael says watching me make the bottle. "I feel so worthless. I couldn't even do my job as a mom and save his brother." I say with a few tears slipping down my cheeks as I hand Michael the bottle. "Gorgeous, it's not your fault." He says putting the bottle in Triton's mouth. "I know, but I feel like it is." I say caressing Triton's head. "I know how you feel little fighter." Michael says looking at me with tears in his eyes.I go on my tippy toes and kiss his lips. "This wasn't your fault either." I say against his lips. He just nods his head slightly and takes my lips in another tender kiss. We both look down at o
Julisa POVMichael and I didn't leave the burial prye until after it was completely burned away. We walked back to the pack house after hand in hand with Triton back in Michael's other arm. Triton was the perfect baby. It was as if he knew exactly what we were doing and stayed quiet with Michael and I the entire time not once making a single noise. We made it back up to our room and Michael handed Triton back to me while he went to make a bottle. I walked into the nursery and put a fresh diaper on Triton and some cute monkey pajamas. I then walked back into our room and laid on our bed with him. Michael brought me the bottle and laid down next to us. We both just watch Triton eat quietly neither of us wanting to break the peaceful silence we had been surrounded in watching the burial prye burn. Once Triton was done eating I got up taking him into the nursery and Sat in the rocking chair rocking him to sleep. Once he was officially sound asleep I went back into our room to find the bed
Michael's POVI woke up with Julisa in my arms. I rolled out of bed and made my way into the bathroom. I am interrogating some more of the rogues we caught previously. I know they have information. I am hoping by letting them know that there was an attack but no attempt to rescue them that obviously whoever put them up to watch my pack doesn't give two shits about them. I finished my shower and walked out to get dressed. I kissed Julisa on the head and went into the nursery checking on Triton. He lay in his crib still sleeping. I smile at my little survivor lean down and kiss his tiny head. He makes a content sighing noise. I stand back up straight and walk back into our room looking at Julisa's sleeping form one more time before heading to the dungeon.I walk up to the entrance. "Good morning Alpha." The guards greet me at the same time. "Morning." I nod at them both. "Anything strange or different?" I ask the guards. They look at each other in thought then look back at me " We thoug
