Gideon
"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

Chapter 80AmelieWhat is going on? This feels like a nightmare. I'm not asleep. I know that by the silver around my wrist, it burns. I can't reach Inari, but I feel her guarding the babies. We've been exposed to silver too many times now. I guess it makes me lose contact with her now. She's in pain but hanging on. I have to get us out of here but where is here?How did I get in this SUV? My mind is clearing, and I look around. We are speeding down a dark stretch of highway. I'm in the backseat. I look at the driver in the rearview. All I see is a scar on his face, and it hits me. Tate's Kidnapped me. I feel myself slipping back into a panic attack. I have to try and pull myself out of it. I know I'm about to have a panic attack I have to stay focused. I close my eyes and focus on my breathing. I have to keep calm. This is not just my life now. It's the boys' lives as well. I have to protect my babies. I tug at the rope tied around my wrist j

Chapter 81Gideon"We saweeey daddy! We didn't see it! We didn't see it!" Daisy drops the phone. I can hear her runaway.Faintly I hear, "Hey, it's going to be OK. Shhhhhh. Your mommy is the strongest person I know. You know how I know?""How?" she manages to get out through sniffles and sobs."Because she's my older sister. Come on, let's finish talking to your dad." I can't see anything; I hear all that's going on. The phone is picked up, and I see the owner of the phone, James.He has the girls on his lap, and they are clinging to him. "Hey, James. Thanks for taking care of all the kids.""It's no problem. I was always the one being watched, being the youngest and all. I guess it's my turn now. How is she?"I run my hand down my face and let out a breath. "She is statable but not awake yet. The doctor said it was a normal reaction to the silver. I guess it acts like an allergic reaction. The more you are expose

Chapter 82 Amelie "Don't be nervous." Gideon places his hand on my knee to stop it from bouncing. I look up into his beautiful green eyes, full of confidence and strength. "I'm not nervous. I just want this whole mess to be done with. I'm anxious for the end." He gives me a sympathetic smile, "Me too." "Alpha, Luna, everyone is signed in. Are you ready to begin?" Marcus readies his laptop. Gideon gives him a nod, and the wall of monitors in front of us lights up. He quickly takes his place behind us next to Jordan and our ranked pack members. Gideon adjusts the microphone sitting on his desk in front of him. "Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining this virtual meeting. As many of you know, we are up agisting a threat from our own kind. They have been working in the shadows gaining bits of power here and there, pulling Alphas to their side. Their worst offenses are kidnapping, murder, and extortion. They have been lurking i
Scars Chapter 83
Chapter 83Gideon"Hello, my boy. Come hug your grandmother." She's so familiar to me for some reason. I have this sense of comfort, almost motherly. She's beautiful but more in a celestial or angelic way. Her hair is white but has an iridescent quality to it. She feels ancient but barely looks 40. Her eyes are the same as mine, deep green, and I look at them every day in the mirror and in the girls. I feel a push from behind.I look back, and Amelie pushes me forward and waves her hand for me to go to this woman. I shake my head 'no,' and she pushes me again. I feel drawn to her, but I'm hesitant to give in to that urge."Daddy, come give grandma a hug!" Daisy grabs one of my hands and Rose the other, and they pull me toward the mysterious woman. I could resist them easily, but I don't. I'm standing in front of her. She has her arms outstretched, and she pulls me into a hug. It's the most soothing feeling I've felt since before my mot
