Kassandra’s POV I did my job as Gamma while Eddie checked on Blood Moon and the Northeast. Sliver Creek had several injuries, but no dead. The attackers were all dead, except the Alpha. All total over the past two days Cooper River has lost 417 warriors. I’m not sure how big their pack is exactly but that is a huge loss. “Our trackers picked up the scent of scouts,” Eddie says talking to Ike and pulling me close. “I’ve ordered everyone on the out skirts for move to the inner circle and double patrols.” “Toby okay?” Ike asks pulling Delaney close to his chest. The way he held her, wait he held her so tenderly. Me- Eddie, can you hear me? Edward- MateLink! Yes! Me- Could Delaney and Ike be fated? “Ike?” Eddie looks at his Beta. “Something you want to share?” Delaney broke his hold and walked away. Ike looked hurt by her actions. Like he wanted to run after her. My heart felt pain for him. “Ike go get her,” I said softly. “Dude you let me have your mate? You knew it was
Edward’s POV Once James got Erin calm we were able to explain to Kass what our network of spies had worked out in both realms. “Loachra, we are using our contacts in both realms and have verified that Aloha Mitchell is keeping the Luna’s from our realm in the human realm and vice versa,” I explain resuming my grip on her from behind. “Any warrior Lunas?” She asks. “No he only took none wolf Lunas- Humans, mostly. The western Alphas have a tendency to be mated to humans. In the human realm it’s even more common.” James explained. He was attempting to hold Erin but she was still pissed over Melissa. I could see her fuming, fighting the mate bond. I find it hilarious that my sister, virgin, champion of the mate bond, is mated to James Lopez seduction master of Alpha and Beta daughters. Granted he could have had my mate, but she chose better. And I’m not any better. I am a certified manwhore. When my mate goes into heat I might actually die. I make a mental note to get her pregn
Edward’s POV Text messages James I need to talk to Kass. I was being playful and challenging. I would never ever cheat on my mate. - EdwardDo you remember that night at dinner when that Alpha’s daughter was flirting and trying to get my attention?- JamesYes- EdwardDid I even look at her?- JamesNo- EdwardDo you know why?-JamesBecause I would have killed you. - EdwardYou might have tried, but no it’s because even though I had only been in her presence a total of an hour, Erin was already more important to me than anything. Nothing and no one will ever compare. - JamesI feel the same way about Kass.-EdwardI was in that room, it sure didn’t seem like it. You implied you would cheat. Do you understand the pain that would cause? -JamesI would never ever cheat on my mate. - EdwardGood luck proving that to Kass. She threw your stuff in front of the packhouse and locked herself in the gym on the Gamma Floor. She is working out her anger. - JamesI take off to the pack house and f
Kassandra’s POV The shower looks amazing. Eddie looks like a kid in a candystore. “This is going to be the best shower ever!” Eddie is naked and seeing a huge Aloha bounce on the balls of his feet is hilarious. He adjusts the temperature as all six shower heads shoot water into the center. He steps in and reaches for me. My plan after his mouth ran off with him was to make him wait at least a month. I know I was wrong to deny the mate bond. I know I hid, I know the pain I’ve felt has been my own fault. Thankfully, not being fully bonded it was more a moderate irritation. I know I can’t deny the bond anymore. And I know he’s a horny Alpha so I know that my sex life will be full. I’m mated to Alpha Edward, he’s not so tough. He’s kinda a softie. I was scared of him. I let rumors and lies try to steal my happiness. I take my mate’s hand and he draws me into the shower. It feels extremely good. Eddie rubs my arms and I put my hands on his chest. We kiss slowly, he moves his hand
Edward’s POV Watching my young pack member, whom I didn’t know personally, walk from the field made my heart happy. My Luna could have killed her in fifteen seconds. She clearly needed more training. “Luna Kassandra is Merciful!” People shouted. I approached her and put my arm around her. “Any other takers?” I asked. When no one stepped forward I did. “I will challenge my Luna to a demonstration. Baby please don’t kill me.” Everyone laughed. Kass and I took our stance as set. She smirked at me evilly, I suddenly was afraid, which caused me to react. I threw the first punch, bad move, she caught my fist and pull my arm out of its socket. I now had a dislocated shoulder and without medical attention the muscles would heal incorrectly. I have a little time so I tried to land a kick. She kicked me in the knee cap first. Now I have dislocated shoulder and knee. “Sorry baby, you wanted to know what I could do,” Kassandra said into the microphone making the crowd cheer and laugh.
Edward’s POV Me- I did and I forgot please tell me she is not here. Ike- Yeah and she is pissed. I have two warriors holding her back at the moment. Me- See if you can get her to the small conference room. I’ll be right there. Have someone set up the Delta Master bedroom for her. Ike- Yes Alpha! If Ike calls me Alpha in a private Mindlink that was my warning that sh*t is real. We are almost to the Delta floor when I stop and attach myself to Kass’s lips. “What did you do wrong?” Kass asked as I pulled away. When I looked confused she continued, “That was your apology kiss.” I smiled how well she knows me already. “I invited the daughter of Cold Moon’s Alpha to spend a week with me. She is 21 and unmated we spend time together. And I forgot to uninvite her, so she is here.” Kass starts laughing loudly. “So a horny Alpha’s daughter is here to f**k you and now you have to tell her that you have a mate who can kill her,” Kass laughed and laughed. “Enjoy that conversat
Kassandra’s POV I was laughing so hard at Eddie. Female Alphas who were raised as princesses had the worse tempers. He had to get her out. At least I wasn’t asked to be nice to her. “Are you sure you want me to introduce you?” Delaney asked as we started toward the pack. “I’m not well liked. Alpha showed me more attention than the rest and they all hate me for it.” “Delaney you are now Beta Female, own it, live it.” I squeeze her hand. “Delaney can I ask you a few personal questions?” Delaney looked nervously at the ground, “of course Luna.” “What did Eddie ask you to call him?” “I always called him Alpha. Nothing else, only Alpha.” “Even in bed?” “Especially in bed. I slipped and said Edward once and he stopped mid.... and went back to his room. I didn’t see him until the next day when he had another girl bent over his desk.” “Wait you didn’t stay in his room?” “No, he didn’t like the idea of anyone but his mate in the master bedroom. You are the only one I know who
Kassandra’s POV Erin arrived and was quite as she sat beside Eddie. “What happened Kass?” James asked holding Erin. I was sitting at my desk holding Eddie’s hand going over the reports. “He was attacked by fifteen. That is how many I killed pulling them off of him. I have no idea how he got so distracted,” I was rubbing Eddie’s hand. He was now breathing on his own, all the bleeding had stopped and his wounds were healing. But he wouldn’t wake up. “That’s a lot even for an Alpha. Has the Alpha been interrogated?” James asked. “I have not left his side yet. I don’t want anyone else to talk to him.” “Okay, what can I do to be useful?” “Erin is the one I need. I’m not sure if siblings are like twins, can you help him heal?” “I don’t know we have never tried.” Erin’s voice was weak and breaking. “He’s never been hurt like this.” “I need to interrogate the Alpha. I need to find the Lunas. We release them we stop the war. We ally with the packs and we take down the head Al
