Finch’s POV“Keep in contact using mindlink,” I tell everyone.“This one is named Joey,” Ari tells me as I open the door for us.“Joey?” I ask the young man in front of me. He is dirty from the fight, light brown hair and eyes. He can’t be more than 25.“Yeah, that's me,” he looks at us, then jumps his chains keeping him in place. “I don’t want her in here.”“Why?” Ari asks calmly while sitting down. “What is it about me that scares you?”“Up close it’s not that bad. You look like the girl Damien and Clive pass back and forth.”“Alicia?” Ari asks.“I don’t know her name. But I know she is a complete psycho. She spends like 6 hours yesterday screaming in pain. She wanted the whole world to burn,” Joey moves in his seat.Ari starts to smirk. “Why were you at the airport?”“Clive told us there was a she-wolf we needed to get. We could kill everyone else but this one we had to kill,” Joey looks at us. “It wasn’t you. She is blonde and tall.”Ari- Everly.Everly- Yes, Luna?Anderson- They
Ari’s POV“Luna, we are thankful for all the extra help,” Lindsay, our head Omega, starts our morning meeting.“Of course. Are you being treated politely?” I ask.“Everyone is very polite and understanding,” She nods.I sit back and rub my belly.“So, are we ready for the end of term celebrations?” I ask.“Yes, Luna, we have the Dean’s List Dinner in a week and then the Graduation Dinner two days later. The Moving Out barbecue two days after that,” Lindsay takes a deep breath.“We have all the supplies and everything we need?” I ask, feeling Monty moving in a horrible position.My face must show pain because Finch moves from the couch to beside me.“Are you okay?” He asks, rubbing my belly.“Your son is really moving,” I groan. “I don’t want another one of these ever again.”Finch chuckles.Juliet- You have to have one more to be Caleb’s heir.Me- He can get his mate pregnant.Juliet- I think you and I know he can’t.Monty moves again and this time I feel wetness between my legs.Juli
Alicia’s POV“She has given birth,” Kale tells us. “Lewis has set up protection charms. I can’t get to her or the pup.”“That Pup will be heir to Conrad Pack,” Clive says. “We need to get her here so we can pup her. Our pup will be the heir to King of Werewolves.”“We agree to share, yes?” Damien demands, staring at his brother.“Of course, little brother,” Clive smiles. “Don’t you worry.”“As long as Lewis stays at Conrad, we won’t be able to get her. Plus, the Caster Community has made Conrad the most protected sight in the world. If not for my inside person, I wouldn’t know the pup was born,” Kale tells us.“You projected inside the Alpha Apartment,” Clive sighs.“Yeah, before Lewis arrived. I told you Finch saw me. He had charms on within a week. He has that place locked up tight,” Kale huffs and slams his fist. “But I am not giving up. I will get back to her somehow.”I wish he had just stabbed me in the heart.“To bring her to us,” Damien continues for Kale.“That is my job,” Ka
Finch’s POVI get out of the shower, and I hear Monty crying.I pop my head out and Ari is nowhere.Me- TURK!Turk- Yeah, Boss.Me- Ari is missing, sound the alarm.Me- TINA! EVERLY!Tina- Yes, Alpha?Everly- Yes, Sir.Me- Ari is missing. Both of you take Monty to the saferoom.No answers, just my door flying open. It’s Romana followed by Tina and Everly.“Warlock!” Romana sniffs.“Get Monty,” I order, and Romana does as instructed.Everly has the cooler bag with milk and Tina has the diaper bag.Duke- She was taken by magic.Me- How did Lewis’s charms fail?Duke- The attacks must have come faster than the magic could repair. She is not going to go quietly.Me- That is one thing about my Luna. She will never go quietly. Can you find her?Duke- Juliet is trying to reach me but we are blocked. We won’t stop until the block is dropped.I am moving the to the command center to watch the new cameras I installed in my bedroom.“Why were the new cameras not being watched?” I ask Turk as we m
Ariella’s POVThe smaller one is coming at me first. We are in a stone room, I can’t see the walls. The light from the moon is coming through large squares in the ceiling.He shifts has he stalks toward me.“Oh, goodie!” I smirk.Juliet comes forward and I shift quickly. The rogue wolf stops and stares at Juliet. She is impressive. Very large for a female. I don’t think they were expecting this of me.The larger one also shifts and stalks close to his brother.Juliet- Two on one. My favorite game.Me- Don’t play with them.Juliet- I’m getting us back to Monty.Both wolves jump at Juliet, who jumps over them. She turns and grabs the smaller one's leg, swinging him into the larger one. The larger one flies into the darkness with a yelp. She rips the smaller ones leg off and tosses it into the darkness as well.“I won’t hurt you, Juliet,” Kale claims and shows submission. “I miss you and Ari. I love you both.”“Traitor,” the smaller one has shifted back to human form and is bleeding out.
Ariella’s POVI jump up, breaking the chains. I grab Alicia’s by the hair and slam her head into the stone floor.Kale is by her side as she lays unconscious.“You want to save her?” I ask.Kale looks up at me as I stand over them.“Yes, she can’t die like this,” Kale answers.“Fine. Puff us to Conrad Hospital. She will be under arrest, and you will be arrested by the caster, but you both live until it’s time to execute you,” I offer.“Telling me that you are only prolonging my life is not what I was expecting,” Kale picks up Alicia.I hold his arm lightly.We arrive in the Packhouse, in my room.“How long was I gone?” I ask Kale.“About an hour and a half,” he answers, holding Alicia tenderly.Juliet- Battles are happening at the borders. Finch and the boys are fighting Jessup in the north. Everyone is safe.Me- Tina? Everly? Romana?Tina- Yes, Luna, we are all in the saferoom with Monty.Everly- He is good, Luna. Go kick ass for me.Romana- And me, Luna.Me- On it!Me- Nathan.Natha
Finch’s POV“Can you bring my cufflinks, Sweetheart?” I call from the bathroom.Today we have the funerals for the students, warriors, and allies we lost. All totaled, our side lost 53.“Here,” She hands them to me as she nurses Monty.I stop and look at her. Her black dress with sheer sleeves fits perfectly. Her dark brown hair is styled in a wave of perfections. Like the ocean on clear calm day. Her bold brown eyes captivate me. This is my wife, my forever, and attached to one of her perfect breasts is our son. A baby made in love between Ari and I. A perfect proof that Ariella Conrad and I love each other.“Thank you,” I say, leaning in and kissing her perfect tinted lips.“Have you talked to the boys yet, about Jessup?” Ari asks as Monty sleeps in her arms.“We will talk after Alicia and Kale are dead. That is what we decided. Your father sent guards to the pack to keep them safe and keep them in line,” I tell her. “You ready to face him tomorrow?”She looks at me and shakes her he
Ariella’s POVThe memorial service took over an hour, but no one seemed to mind. I arranged for a smaller dinner for the families where my parents could pay their respects personally. As they gathered, I went to the back drive to greet my parents and brother.Caleb leaped out of the car and wrapped me in a hug. Lewis was next and he was apologizing over and over for not making the charms strong enough.“Ariella,” Father’s deep voice broke through the fog of love my brother and Lewis wrapped me in. The fog cleared and I see my Father.The past months are weighing on him. His once black hair is now completely gray. His eyes are sunken, and his skin is dull. Back in March, he was so much better looking. “Father,” I nod slightly. “Thank you for coming tonight and meeting with the families.”Father nods.“Have you been a good Luna?” Mother asks. She is thinner too. More gait and pale. Her brown hair that once shined like the sun is dull and lifeless.“Yes, I have been told so by
