Aleena's POVThe past few days have actually been fun, between training and working in the gym with Jax. Sarah has been more relaxed herself with being able to shift more. She was extremely excited for the pack run tonight. It was a full moon and everybody shifts and runs with the King leading them all. The moon helps our wolves to recharge basically. Our wolves get stronger every time we shift and they draw their energy from the moon. “Good morning Princess.” Jax teased me.“You really do have a death wish don’t you?” I asked looking at him from the corner of my eyes while smirking.“It’s true. Why won’t you just accept it?” Jax asked.I looked back down at my plate and the stack of chocolate chip and butterscotch chip pancakes, playing with a few pieces that I had already cut off. “I don’t know. It just doesn’t feel right Jax. I grew up as an omega just to find out right before my eighteenth birthday that I’m literally a princess. Princesses only exist in fairytales Jax.” I said.
Gunner’s povi was in the middle of training with Legolas when i felt my mate trying to connect with me. i told Legolas i needed a break and went off to a quieter place so i could hear her. maddox jumped in before i could even say hi, and then she said she was in the shower. oh for the love of all things holy. this girl is going to be the death of me. i could feel maddox prancing around pushing images in my head of our mate in the shower. thank the goddess that sar distracted maddox long enough for my mate and i to talk. she updated me on how her training had been going and how some guy named jax had been more or less taking care of her this whole time. although the thought of another male touching my mate pissed me off, i also owed him for making sure she was safe. i had to calm maddox down a couple of times at the thought of this guy and we finally agreed that we wouldn’t kill him but instead he deserved a thank you. at least until we got her back, because once i’m back around her,
Aleena's POVI’m not sure how long I sat there staring at the envelope in silence until it finally hit me. The map! I had completely forgotten about the Harry Potter style map that the King gave me. I jumped over to the other side of my bed and pulled it out and unfolded it. I looked all over it and finally found the dot that had Jax’s name next to it. I remembered the path to his quarters and then folded it back up and hid it again. I ran to my closet and I through on a hoodie and tennis shoes and headed out of my room. Luckily there weren’t many people out to stop or question me. Once I got to Jax’s door, at least I hoped it was his door, I knocked three times. I heard someone walking towards the door before it opened.“Alida, what are you doing here?” Jax asked surprised.“I have a problem. I need you like now!” I stated.“What’s wrong?” Jax said with all his attention on me now.“Just come with me.” I grabbed his wrist before he could get out another word.I drug him back to my r
Aleena's POVThe next morning had gone as any other morning had. Jax and I, along with a few others, were down in the dining hall finishing up with breakfast. I had already mind linked him to tell him that his plan to draw the secret note leaving bitch out was in motion, along with the news about the first boat arriving today. He already had someone make up a list of the first wave of people to leave this place. They were lower on the ladder of status so less likely to be noticed that they were missing, least until the dust started to pile up anyways. Jax stood up and cleared his throat, “Can I have everybody’s attention please?” Everybody went silent and were all staring at him now. “As you all know, I had my chance at a mate. Some of you know how that ended. Second chance mates for our kind is very rare, but I am here to tell you that it has in fact happened.”Jax looked down at me and held out his hand for me to take. I took his hand and put a big smile on my face and stood up nex
Gunner’s POVToday is the day. We are all loading up the busses and trucks and heading over to Iceland. When I left there months ago I never thought, in a million years that I would be heading back so soon. I was getting just one step closer to my mate with every step I took. I was bound and determined to find her and bring her home. I was lost in my own thoughts, daydreaming if we’re being honest, about what I was going to do to my mate when I saw her again. Maddox was not shy about anything and was throwing dirty mental images into my head.“Would you knock it off. Horn dog.” I had to chuckle. I know this had to be just as hard on him as it was for me. To finally find our mate and then lose her all within the same hour.“What? Don’t act like you haven’t thought of it either!” Maddox retorted. “Go lay your fluffy ass down and reserve your strength. We have a fight to win.” Maddox snorted at me and I could feel him retreating to the back of mind.“Dude how many suitcases you got?! A
Collin’s POVI knew we were limited on time so sleep was going to have to wait. Dante and I arrived at the place the girl had described to a T. All down to the window trim. “Remind me to make that girl one of our investigators.” I said to Dante as we walked up to the house.“No kidding. She gave a better description than some of the more seasoned investigators we have.” Dante responded.We walked up to the door and let ourselves in. It was oddly quiet in the house that was supposed to be the headquarters of the group. Just when we thought no one was there, Dante stopped me and put his finger to his lips and then his ear. I took the que and started listening and heard what sounded like people whispering. We started following the voices quietly and when we came up to a door where they were coming from, I grabbed the handle and Dante took a defensive position, ready for anyone who might be stupid enough to try an attack. I twisted the handle and flung the door open. There were about 12

Aleena's POVI was falling into a very dark place; my mind going 100 miles per hour, anxiety at an all-time high and no family here to bring me out of a panic attack. I was sitting on the floor of my room with my back to my bed rocking back and forth and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. “Sweetie, you need to calm down. Your human counterpart family might not be here, but you still got me.” Koa softly said, back to her motherly voice. I swear she either had bipolar or multiple personality disorder sometimes. “I don’t know if I should be more worried or if that was meant to be calming.” I said with a shaky voice. “Look I know I’ve ‘off the rails’ as you kids call it nowadays, a couple times, but with my history with these people and now the new freedoms females have in this century, I get carried away. So much pent-up emotions for so many years can drive you crazy.” She was laughing now, actually laughing. My breathing started to get shorter and faster. Great, I’m supposed to b
