Alpha Sam’s POV After chewing that stupid pup out for talking about Ren like an object, having lunch with my pup, and the watching her and her unit go into the interview, I decided to try and find that damn she-wolf who had plagued me all night long. I had been so caught up with all the information she gave me this morning, I had yet to get to the bottom of her comment last night. I checked the entire freaking pack house, and now, found myself pacing in the Luna office. Spear is pissed that we can't find her, and it is adding to my own anxiety at her sudden disappearance. ‘Daddy’ Ren calls to me through the link and I smile a little. How did I ever get through a day without her calling me daddy? It wasn’t until she started to become more open with me that I realised how much I was missing out on with my pup. Every time she called to me it warmed me. I am so glad she forgave me. We all needed a fresh start once this was over. ‘Yes, baby girl?’ I ask her wondering if she needs me f
Serenity’s POV I hate it down here and so does Star. She has been grumbling on about the smell since my dad opened the door. We follow him down the dark, damp corridor to a small room. He holds his finger up to his lips, and I step into the room. It is pitch black, aside from the light coming through a window connected to the room next door. ‘One way glass?’ I ask my dad, as I had never been down here before. We have a prison now which looks like a five-star hotel in comparison to this. There is dust everywhere and the smell of urine, blood and iron is heavy in the air. ‘Yeah. She can't see you and won't know you are here.’ My dad links back and I nod, and watch as Henry rearranges his papers sitting in his chair with his back to us. He rolls his shoulders, clearly tense and stiff after a long day. The small room is pure concrete, and you can see the stains of age, blood and damp. The metal, rectangular table is bolted to the floor. Sheryl and Henry sit in two of the three metal
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
