Gideon
"Thank you all for coming over so late." It's after midnight, but this cannot wait. "Matt, thank you for leaving your new mate. I know in her current state, that must be very hard for you. I promise we will make the wolves who did this to her pay." We all take a seat in my living room. Only two lamps are on. They strain to fill the large room with light leaving the corners bathed in shadows.
Matt nods, "Thank you, Alpha. Right now, I know I need to be here to assist in the information exchange. It's the best way to Help Bailey." His eyes speak volumes as they peer around the dimly lit room. It was like he was hoping the perpetrator would bust through the door and give him the fight he so desperately wanted.
"Right, let's get started with what we found out on our trip. Marcus, please bring up the file that Alpha Flynn gave to us." I knew everyone was on edge and ready for war if that's what it came to. We needed to get through this de

Chapter 72 Gideon "Ulv, did we do something? Why does she want to talk?" I think back to before I left, I know we had a disagreement, but we resolved it. "No idea. Run! Mate is scary!" I can feel Ulv panic at the words. 'we need to talk' never ends well for the man who hears those words. I think fast. "Am, baby, lest go to sleep. I just want to hold you while I sleep." That's great. I'll be the loving mate. Will she drop it? "Gideon, we really need to talk. It's important." Amelie's words cut me. I'm doomed. I have no choice but to give in to my fate and hope I survive what comes next. "What do you want to talk about?" "It's about the girls." Amelie looks down at her hands in her lap. I'm panicking. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" I'm about to jump out of bed and go to their room and check on them when Amelie grabs my arm, pulling me back. "Gideon, I think the girls are special. Do you know what I'm talkin

Chapter 73Amelie"Ding, Ding, Ding,""Oh, my oven timer!" I snap my head out of my thoughts, turn off my timer, and pull out the spice cake cupcakes from the top oven. I'm in the middle of stress baking. I've been at it for hours. It's challenging to garden right now with my belly; bending over that much kills me. I didn't feel like working in my shop at the moment, and I really wanted some oatmeal raisin cookies, so I went to stress baking. I didn't stop with just oatmeal cookies. I've made snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, blondies, pecan pie, peach cobbler, now spice cake with a vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. I'm going to get some cinnamon rolls going next. I can let them sit overnight, and we can have a family breakfast with cinnamon rolls tomorrow. Where is the yeast?As I'm looking for the yeast Gideon breaks through the mate-bond, "Am, my storm, can you come back to my office?" Gideon's tone is sweet and gentle, but I don't wa

Chapter 74AmelieGideon takes a deep breath, "I want you to interview Von Jericho with me.""What! You have lost your mind!" I shake his hands off me."Am, please!" He grabs my wrist as I try and walk away."Why the hell would I want to talk to her at all? Let go." I try shaking his hand from my wrist, but he pulls me into him. It's not possessive or angry. It's pleading. He needs my help. I can feel the pull I try to fight."She's in a cell. She knows she's not getting out, but she's also not talking. I want to get something anything, and I know she is our best shot at finding at least one location of the kidnapped wolves." He wraps his arms around me. I know I'm going to give in but not without making him work for it."Again, why do you want me there?" I cross my arms, forcing space between us. He better give me a good reason."Because seeing you will make her more emotional, and she's more likely to slip

Chapter 75Gideon"William Carson, please step forward," Tyson announces. He's the last pup of the day."William Carson, do you accept the Druit Guard as your pack and promise to uphold your duties as a pack member?" I look down at the young boy who stares back up at me, tall and straight with pride in his eyes."Yes, Alpha, I do!" He yells as if he was answering a drill sergeant."Do you submit to me Gideon Alois as your Alpha and vow to follow my orders""Yes, Alpha, I do!" Again, yelling so the whole pack can hear."I Gideon Alois accept you into the Druit Guard Pack. Step forward, William." I reach out for his hand he gives it to me. I extend a claw and prick the tip of his thumb, he doesn't flinch, but I see his eyes are glassy. Every pup who wants to be a warrior one day does the same they hold back the tears and act tough. I always find it funny. I prick my thumb, and I press our thumbs together. I feel him added to the pack, a

Chapter 76Amelie"I love you. Enjoy the run, don't overdo it, and wear out the new pups." I give Gideon a wink. He seems off, a little distant, not cold or dismissive, but like something is on his mind lately, and he doesn't want to share.He smiles back. "I have to see what they are made of, don't I." It all feels forced, and he rushes away to shift. I'll have to get him to spill it later. For now, I needed to focus on finishing up prep for our pack celebration.Tonight we are doing a big outdoor party in what is usually the training field. We don't have much today since the Packhouse staff has taken care of everything. I'll have to give Becky a bonus. She's doing an excellent job of managing the staff. I'm so glad she was mated to Benjamin.It's extra special because the non-affiliated wolves all decided to join our pack. This is their first-pack event. Bailey is slowly transitioning into her role as a Delta-Female, and I couldn't

Chapter 77 Gideon I hustle back to our room. I didn’t bother grabbing any clothes from the trees; I was too pissed and might shift any second again. I didn’t care who saw me naked. I’m the Alpha. What are they going to say? I kick open the bedroom door and find Amelie sitting on the bed, rubbing her baby belly as she jumps up when I enter. “What the hell, Gideon!” She walks over and slaps my arm, and it stings. Not this again. “The boy will be fine. I already checked with the doctor through mind-link.” She slaps me again in the same spot. “What is going on? How did that trap get on our territory?” She’s unconsciously pushing out her aura. She is the Luna Mother, and no one messes with mama wolf. It was sexy, but I needed to focus. “Tate.” Her eyes gape open, and her mouth drops. Then she slaps my arm again, in the same spot. Damn, that hurts. “How do you know it was him?” She steps back and sits back on the bed. Her anger has b

Chapter 78Amelie“Luna Amelie, please hold still. I’m almost done.” Sam has had me in this chair for the last hour.“Sam, I have to pee.” I point to my baby bulge. “Pregnant and all, you know?” I’m glad Celest brought her glam squad for the banquet and ball, but I’m already so exhausted, and I’ve only gotten my hair and makeup done.“Almost done, Luna.” With the last few flicks of her wrist, she stands back. “OK, go. I’ll help you in to your dress when you are done.”I get up and go to the bathroom, and as soon as I’m out, Sam is waiting with my dress. Celest has already got hers on and is putting on her accessories. I groan, looking at the dress. I would be delighted to go in this fluffy bathrobe.“I know you would rather nap, but we have a role to play tonight, and we need you.” Celest coos as she finishes putting the back of her ea

Chapter 79Gideon"Report!" I mind-link to my team buzzing around the banquet hall."Alpha, I heard Alpha Kentwood talking about taking another Alpha to his ranch in Lily, South Dakota." It's the first real lead. What's even more interesting is the Kentwood Pack is located in Missouri, and Lily, South Dakota, is a one-stoplight town of farmers and ranchers."Did anyone get anything else?" I pick up a glass of champagne to hide the fact I'm getting an intel report."I heard an Alpha talking about.""Mates in trouble!" Ulv screams in my head, interrupting the intel report. I run for the door, and John is hot on my heels."Something happened to Celeste." I nod. No other explanation is needed. We both feel it."Tyson, Marcus, Benjamin Amelie is in trouble. Follow me! Shay, Jordan, and Becky stay here and get the intel, and watch our special guest." they are all quickly behind me. I follow Amelie's scent. I follow it t
