Rebecca’s POV Everyone looks beautiful and ready. I’m standing between my mates, Alice and Patty are carrying my shimmering blue train. “I can’t wait to carry your trains at your Luna Ceremonies,” I smile back at them. They both smile up at me. “I want a Warrior, someone who will have time for me and not all the duties it’s takes to run a pack.” Alice said. “Warriors are often in danger,” I say to her, as Claire and Liam walk ahead. “But my Warrior will be so strong, he will never really be in danger,” Alice muses. “Not me, I want a powerful Alpha with a huge pack,” Patty smiles. We all laugh at her a little. We hear our cue and walk in. Everyone is standing looking at us. I forget how much I don’t like being the center of attention, but I’m remembering now. Thank you goddess, my mates are huge, and I can hide between them. Nic and Grace each have a baby in their arms. Such cutie pies. I see my parents and brother, but I don’t see my sist
Rebecca’s POV If labor lasts much longer, I’m taking the kitchen knife and cutting this baby out. Who does this twice? How the hell did Claire to this so many times? She said the moon goddess has a fucked-up sense of humor, well she is pretty fucked up to go through this once or twice a year for so long. On top of the pain in my stomach, Ike is a total pain in my ass. “Sweetheart, tell me what to do,” Ike looks desperate and scared almost. “Keep your dick away from me,” I scream, as another contraction hits. “You just had to get me pregnant.” “Hey, baby come here,” Sam coos, he walks up behind me and holds my stomach in his hands pulling up. Then he sways with me, holding me from behind. “This helps,” I say. I feel Sam smile and he starts to sing our song. I want to labor at home as long as I can. Since we can orb it’s okay. “I’m going to let Ike take over,” Sam and Ike switch positions and Ike although more nervous than Sam, he is doing a g
Rebecca’s POV “Explain quickly,” I say. “Edward hasn’t paid his warriors in weeks, Cullen, Luke, Sable, Mable, Emmett, Jasper, Nic and Grace all agree.” Ike tells me. “The pack wants new leadership, and they can’t wait for Jasper.” “So, let’s impeach him, don’t challenge him,” I offer. “Impeachment leaves him able to challenge me,” Ike said. “Becks, this is the way it has to be,” Max rubs my arm. “No, it's not, it doesn’t have to be this way,” I say, wrapping my arms around Ike. “I’m so sorry sweetheart, I can’t stand here while innocent people are being hurt. And if one of my uncles goes against Edward, Edward might win.” “He might win against you too,” I say. “Less likely. I get to use my gifts.” Ike and Max share a look. “What? You are leaving something out,” I put my hands on my hips. “Monica is the reason the Warriors haven’t been paid. She betrayed Edward with one of them. She won’t tell Edward who and he won’t step forward. And
Third Person POV “Would you have killed me?” Edward asks Ike, just as Beth and Rachel come into the kitchen to make popcorn. Ike looks at his sisters. “We are having a movie night. You being in the kitchen is your choice.” Rachel said. “This is where the beer is,” Sam chimes in. “This is also where popcorn and sodas are,” Beth says, taking sodas and loading a tray up. Rachel starts the popcorn. “Beth, while you are in the fridge,” Max asks. Beth rolls her eyes and bring 6 beers over to the table. “Thank you.” “Whatever Maxie,” She smiles at him, before leaning down and kissing his cheek. The sparks and tingles shot through Max’s body but are still unnoticeable to Beth. “I’m gonna kill my sister,” Max mumbles. “Watch it,” Sam said. “In-laws are pissing me off left and right.” “No offense brother, but you hurt Rebecca, we are rejecting you,” Ike said in all seriousness. “Shay’s temper is real man, we

If you are reading after this book is complete you can skip this chapter all together. Rebecca’s POV I made this appointment early in the morning on purpose. My men have been busy, busy, running two packs, caring for me and Jack, arranging a safe place for Shay and business too. I have no idea how Liam did it all alone. “Okay, Luna, you are healed. Do we want birth control?” The doctor is looking at me, I guess, hoping I say yes. “Nope, I will likely be in here with Sam in a couple weeks. If you say I can.” I ask. “You are young, healthy, you healed perfectly. I don’t see why not,” she smiles at me. Claire and Grace have Jack. Liam and Nic are covering pack affairs today. I’m shaved, lotioned, and cleared by the doctor. Let my day begin. I get home and don’t bother with a night gown; I arrange myself on the bed. I want Sam
Edward’s POV Two weeks ago, I woke in the hospital and was told I rejected my mate. No one has seen her since Sam pulled her lover out of her. She was gone by the time my parents got to our bedroom. She was fucking him in the same bed we shared. Thomas understands and says he has no malice toward me, but it makes me nervous. Shay and I have been hanging out more. She and I both have cottages on the Packhouse grounds at Blue Mountain. Isaac offered me a spot as his lead warrior and trainer. I accepted yesterday and this is my first day at work. “Good morning, Sunshine,” I say, knocking on Shay’s door. “Go away!” She snarls. Her new normal. “We have to get to training, sleepy head,” I remind her. “How in the fuck are you so chipper?” She growls, I hear her moving around. “Don’t know, I feel lighter today, like I don’t know, I just feel good for the first time in months.” I actually feel a smile on my face. Everyone always said I looked like two men smashe
Rebecca’s POV Six days after Edward and Claws mated, I am helping Claire, Grace and Beta Nancy decorate the packhouse ball room for Alexis and Marie’s big night. “Max coming tonight?” Claire asks. “No, he is sending his lead Warrior and Beta couple. He said since Beth knows it’s gotten awkward.” “I didn’t want that, but I really didn’t want Beth to hate him.” Claire says. Marie comes and sits down. “What happened?” I ask, looking at her sad face. “He got delayed by Vampires, he is going to be late to the party,” Marie’s mate, Patrick, is the Alpha of Blood Moon and Lycanness. He is always busy. “I’m sorry sweetheart.” Claire hugs her. “Where is Jack, baby snuggles will help me,” Marie asks. “In the Alpha Office, Ike and Sam swear his training is important,” I roll my eyes dramatically at my husbands. “Liam was the same way,” Claire shakes her head. “Maybe if Nic had done that with Edward, he would still be Alpha,” Grace s
Monica’s POVAfter our ceremony and my not so welcome intervention, everything kind of changed. Before, Edward and I had sex a few times a week. Once he became Alpha, our sex life went from a steady stream, to a trickle. He and I talked about it several times, but he was busy and when we did have sex, it was slow and gentle. He was afraid to touch me, like I would break. I’m not made of glass!Then, one day at training, it happened. Shane and I looked at each other and neither of us could contain it anymore! We needed each other.We finished before Edward found us; we always seem to finish before we were found. At first, I thought Edward just accepted his fate; but I was wrong.He came to our room and told me he felt it and wanted the name of the warrior. I refused. I warned Shane to not attend any meetings, because I knew Edward would use his Alpha Command on everyone.When that didn’t work, Edward stopped paying everyone until someone confessed.“No Warrior in this pack will be paid
