Another transition of power to the next generation. Who do you think our Unknown POV is?
After spending another night making love to my mate, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to talk to Eli and Emerson about having Emlyn take over as acting Luna of my pack. I pack my bags and take a moment to look around Emlyn’s room. While I was excited to spend time in her room, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with her, not looking at her room. Her room is cozy, decorated in warm colors. She’s doesn’t have it splashed with pink like some she-wolves I’ve seen, my younger sisters included. In this room, one wall has been painted to look like the forest covered in snow. I’m guessing the sprites helped with the painting, as I’ve never seen my mate show any interest in it. Her furniture is light brown with cream-colored sheets. Throughout her room are shocks of color, a royal-blue vase holding a beautiful assortment of flowers in various colors, accent pillows in blue, red and green colors, picture frames in various bold colors with pictures of her with her family throughout the years. I lo
I wasn’t expecting the transition to Luna of Shadow Falls to be so easy, but it was. The pack accepted me right away, probably because they already know me and knew that Richie needed someone strong now that Leana was gone. Having helped my mother around our pack all my life, it was pretty simple to step into the role here. Richie and I are still having to be careful around his brothers, but otherwise, it’s great being so close to him all the time. This morning, I’m in the kitchen making sure everything is ready for the next week’s meals. This pack isn’t much larger than Safe Haven, so it’s not much of a stretch to figure out the increased food needed to feed the over 600 pack members. Richie has basically given me carte blanche to do what is needed for the pack as long as I keep track of all the purchases. Today, I want to start planning Xander’s going away party. He’s going off to the state university to begin his business education so he can take over Uncle Liam’s company. As I b
Emlyn has my pack running like a well-oiled machine. If I didn’t already know she was meant to be my Luna, I would seriously have to consider taking her as a chosen mate. She’s perfect in every way. She set up a beautiful Beta ceremony for Jackson, with a huge party afterward. Her family, and my family, along with Cohen and Clint were in attendance. “Damn Em. Did you want to come be my acting Luna when Rich finds his mate? You’re doing a damn good job here.” Cohen says to her. “Fuck off, Cohen. She’s mine. Go find your own Luna.” I say, walking up. “We could share her.” I can’t help the snarl that comes with that statement. I know that no one knows what she is to me, but I won’t be sharing my mate with anyone for any reason. He puts his hands up, palms facing forward. “Okay, okay. I’m just saying. Our sisters are gone, and Riley is still too young. I could use someone like Emlyn to help out when I take over in a couple of months. “What about Hope?” Emlyn asks. “What about her?”
My family and all of my best friends are here this weekend. I get to watch one of my best friends take his oath as Alpha of Canyon Ridge pack. As I watch Cohen stand and take his oath, I look beside me at Richie and further down to see Emerson. Our families have raised amazing Alphas. I’m so proud, my heart feels like it’s about to burst. “Baby girl, what’s on your mind?” Richie asks me through the mind link. He is very intune to changes in my emotions and they are all over the place right now. I feel a tear fall down my cheek. “I’m so proud of this next generation of Alphas. All three of you are so amazing.” Richie wraps his arms around my shoulders and pulls me to his chest, kissing the top of my head. “Thank you, baby girl. I think you’re pretty incredible too.” I stand and watch as every member of Canyon Ridge swears their allegiance to my friend. When it’s done, there is a lot of clapping, cheering and howling. As we walk into the party, I smell my father before his arm goes
Cohen, Emerson and I decide to have monthly Alpha meetings to discuss our packs, any issues that arise and our joint alliances. It feels good to finally have everyone in place, not that working with Uncle Eli and Uncle Rik was bad, it’s just that they were used to doing things a certain way. Now that the three of us have taken over, we can make the changes we want to make. Monthly meetings is just the start. I host the first one, partly because Cohen is still adjusting to his role as Alpha and partly so Emerson can see his sister. I know it was hard for him to let her leave to come to my pack and to feel the pack link snap when she officially joined my pack. They have always been close. I know he’ll be happy to see her. When he arrives, it’s Emlyn that greets him. Cayd and I walk into the kitchen and see them hugging. “Em and Em, back together again.” Cayd says. I smack him on the back of his head. “Show some respect to Safe Haven’s Alpha.” I say. “Yeah, idiot. That’s Alpha Em to
Today is the day that Richie is schedule to meet with the Alpha of the pack that he’s putting on notice, The Dark Moon Pack. Even though he hasn’t said it, I know he’s nervous. We’ve been together long enough that I can feel his emotions. Not only that, but he’s also distracted. For the first time since we’ve stayed the night together, he gets out of bed without wanting to be inside me. Normally in the mornings, I have to stop him from taking me every which way he can get me before our day officially starts. But today, he’s out of bed and heading for the shower before I’m even fully awake. I know he’s worried that things could go badly today. And if they do, this visiting Alpha will be here in the packhouse, putting the pack at risk. But I’m here, and I would never let that happen. Also, I made sure that Cayd would be in the packhouse today as well, just in case. I walk into Richie’s bathroom, watching him as he showers. This is another first. Richie has never taken a shower when I’m
As I walk into the kitchen, I hear Richie introducing Samuel and Aiden to Jackson and Cayd. They made a point to be waiting by Richie's office door, so Alpha Samuel would know that Richie isn’t the only ranked member in the packhouse. The meeting has been going on for an hour. Cayd is sitting in the living room watching TV. I walk in and sit down beside him, tuning into Richie’s office. I know it’s soundproofed, but if I listen hard enough, I can hear. Jackson comes out of the office and both mine and Cayd’s heads move to look at him. “Issue with the patrols.” Jackson says before shifting on his way out the back door. “Go, I’ve got this.” I tell Cayd as he runs to assist Jackson. It’s not long before I hear the shift in the conversation upstairs. I’m up and moving before I even think about it. I get to the office and knock twice before walking in. What I see has Morrigan pushing forward, her presence glowing in my eyes. The four of them have surrounded Richie’s desk and are taking
After dealing with the Alpha Samuel issue, scheduling a hearing with the council, and letting Emerson and Cohen know what happened, I can finally focus on Emlyn’s birthday. It is nearly here, and I want to do something special for her. After two years, she’ll finally recognize me as her mate. I’ve noticed that she wears a watch all the time. The one she has is utilitarian and while it’s functional, I’ve decided to get her a new one. The one I’ve decided on is gold colored with a link bracelet that she can be resized to fit to her small wrist. The face of the watch has two rows of diamonds around the rim and inside, rather than the numbers on the watch, there are diamonds, except for twelve o’clock. I wanted something elegant and beautiful to match my mate. Something that she can wear and always be reminded of this time together and the day she recognized me as her mate. Once I’ve chosen the watch, I take it to have it engraved. It’s about time You see What you mean To me It wil
