Alpha Sams POV I couldn’t take it. Spear was writhing under my skin. Anger burned through my veins. I was shaking with the sheer force of retaining Spear and controlling my anger. I slammed my hand onto the intercom, needing to speak to Henry immediately. This can't wait another second. I storm out, leaving Ren safely in the room, and close the door. I stand, waiting for Henry to leave the room, and he strides out shaking his head. “I can't believe... I have never... Goddess she is fucking disgusting.” he says in total shock, and I have to agree. “I have listened to it once. She is fucking insane. Me and my wolf can't take another second. Can I reject her formally or not?” I ask, trying to maintain my professionalism. I am not mad at him, and it would be wrong for me to take it out on him. “We can do it now and explain to the pack later. I mean... that bitch is undeniably guilty. She hasn’t even denied the claims!” he says shaking his head and looking back to the door. “We have
Serenity’s POV I can't stay. I can't. I can't hear him get her out of there. I can't listen to him forgive her for everything. I protected him and his mate bond my entire life. I could have shown him the scars... the wounds... I could have gone to him. It would have been painful, and I thought she would deny it, but she's proud! Proud of slicing an innocent pup to pieces! I hate her. I can't. It's too much. I get up off the floor, my nails digging into the dust covered floor, and as I hear my dad step into the interrogation room, I know he is going to release her. I can't be around her again. Not anymore. I am part fucking Alpha, part Goddess. No mental case is ever going to touch me again. I put up with it because I thought she was my mother, and I wanted her to love me. I thought she loved my dad, and they were happy. I won't watch them be happy now he knows what she put me through. I thought he was on my side. I bolt from the room, my vision blurring with tears. My breathing bec
Alpha Sam’s POV I shift and pull on these damn spare shorts that Tom had thrown me. He has always been a man of few words, but when he does speak, he is usually right. I needed to speak to that damn pup again. I was losing my damn mind, and he was out here cuddling up to my freaking pup! I storm out from behind the tree, my bare feet slamming heavily into the grass as stomp back to the pups. Mylo is stood there with his arms folded across his chest, mute and looking at the ground. Tom is still leaning casually against the tree. These assholes are way too calm for me. “PAWS OFF PUP! LAST WARNING!” I snarl at him. “Already had this conversation uncle Sam.” Myles says and sighs. I march over to them and give him the death glare only an Alpha can. ‘My pup in control. Shut Ren out.’ Spear says into my mind, and I freeze. Shit! If she has forced control... we could lose Ren. She is too young! A wolf shouldn’t be taking control like this, especially when she hasn’t shifted yet. I snap
Serenity POV I told them everything that happened when I was unconscious, and they all remained in stunned silence. I didn’t know if they believed me, or were just too shocked to ask questions, I squirm in my seat a little uncomfortably and wait. Myles squeezes my hand lightly and I look at him to see nothing but faith, belief and trust in his eyes. I breath out a heavy sigh and look around the room at my dad, aunts and uncles. “I know this is hard to believe. I should have told you sooner, but there was never an opportunity.” I say and am still facing some very confused and stunned faces. Seriously... there should be crickets in here. Are they breathing? ‘UGH. ONE MINUTE’ Star barks and disappears on me. Goddess knows where the hell she has gone but I have too much to deal with here. “Your saying... that... Sheryl... she isn't your mother... and she knew?” Uncle Tom asks and I just nod. “I am pretty sure that’s why she did what she did” I say in a small voice and look away fr
Sequoia’s POV “See you soon sis” Hope says to me and hangs up the phone that was connected to my car speakers. I smile as excitement floods me. She had been so excited that I finally took this step and was bursting to meet them. I wasn’t shocked she accepted them so freely. Some families struggled with adoption, as wolves don’t often bring in unrelated pups into their families. My sister, however, knew they were meant to be with us. Meant to be mine, just as I did. I feel it in my bones that this was the right choice. This was her plan for me all along. Why I don’t have a mate. Why I never found someone to have pups with. My wolf whimpers at the thought but nothing could prevent our good mood. I had been out buying all the things I needed for my new pups to travel with me. Booster seats for my car, activities for the drive, snacks, and even new clothes so they had some nice things for any events at my sister's pack. I even bought them a tablet each with headphones so they could wat
Alpha Sam’s POV I didn’t know where to put myself right now, so I decided that staying here, where no one would bother me, is my best option. Everyone filtered out of the conference room after the pups left, all in different stages of shock and awe. I think I would feel the same way, but the information she gave me was too much to digest. Mylo wanted to stay back with me, not wanting to leave me alone, and as the last of my unit in the room, I understood his worry. Unlike my unit, I didn’t have a mate to lean on. My pup had gone off with her friends, and I am happy for her, but now... I really am all alone. When the Goddess told me that my true mate had been feeling my betrayal all these years, all I could feel was pain. I haven't stopped aching with regret. The Goddess had tried to teach me to think using my brain, not my dick, and I failed. I failed the Goddess. I failed my true mate. How could I ever face her after all she must have been through because of me. I wonder if she kn
Alpha Sams POV I had started to realise that Spear may have said he would give me time... but he was going to spend it fucking torturing me. He prowled around in my mind all freaking night, growling and snarling. When I addressed it with him, all I got was tirade about how he would calm the fuck down when he knew his mate was safe and with us where she belongs. I barely got any sleep, and honestly, I am beginning to resent my wolf. I needed to get enough rest to get through today and all the pomp and circumstance that the council will require of me and the pack. Not to mention, Elder Gabriel would have gotten here either late last night or this morning... so that is a whole other kettle of fish. Our Elders are basically royalty to us. We have at least one from every region. A retired Alpha who had been chosen to represent their part of the world to maintain peace and safety. Gabriel represented us. He and my father planned to represent us together before he died, but I had still been
Serenity POV After my conversation with Flora, I had fallen asleep with two wolves on my bedroom floor in a pile of pillows and blankets, and Tony and I insisted on taking the bed. She insisted if I am being honest. I really didn’t mind either way. We had played silly games, laughed, watched movies, and eaten our weight in junk food, before passing out in food comas. I was shocked that Sequoia, or Flora, as everyone calls her, had just literally taken the pups and left. I had been so happy for her. When she told me that Jericho and Jessica were the pups, she had adopted it had taken everything in me not to burst into tears. I love those pups like siblings. I guess they really are like siblings to me now. Flora had always been like a mother to me, and now, she had adopted the two pups I had the strongest connection with. I had been training with Jeri for a few months. He wanted to be like his dad. A warrior. He would be too, because that boy's determination and inner strength had no
