Victor POVI confirmed that our guests were comfortably settled in their rooms for the night and instructed them to be ready by 8 the next morning for an omega to escort them to the dining hall. They said their good nights and locked their doors. I told Eric he could turn in for the night and be with his mate, who was still quite upset. I linked the Alpha, but he had a block up. I caught his scent leading from the kitchen to his room along with Teaghan’s. I assumed they were in for the night as well. The house was quiet now that it was after midnight, but my heart was hurting, and my mind was unsettled. I needed to find Tori and try to explain things to her.‘Ryder, have you found Tori?’ After a few moments, he answered as if whispering.‘Yes, Beta. She is at the hospital visiting Corinne.’ What? Not what I was expecting.‘Is Corinne awake?’‘No, Beta. She is still sleeping. Doctor says she may not wake for a few days.’‘Okay, I’ll be heading your way shortly.’‘Okay’I returned to my

Rick POVI sat on the edge of the bed with my head in my hands as Teaghan kneeled behind me, rubbing my shoulders. I could hear her sniffling as she breathed.“Baby, she’ll come around. It’s a lot for her to take in and she needs to process it.” She whispered to me and kissed my neck. I leaned into her touch and listened to her heartbeat to calm myself and my wolf down.“I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought she'd be safe if I could keep her away from the bad people out there. If I could get her to stay at the packhouse and become a pack member, she’d be safe. I just wanted her to stay here, with me, and safe from everything.” I shook my head and sighed as I sat up and pulled Teaghan onto my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck and ran her fingers through my hair. “I can’t lose her again. I just can’t!” I mumbled into Teaghan’s neck.“Rick, honey. She’s been through so much in her life. She’s used to people lying to her and treating her unkindly that she expects it now.

Colton POVIt was one in the morning, and I was pacing a hole in my office rug. That piece of sh*t was supposed to call me an hour ago to give me an update on whether or not he completed his task. All he had to do was wait at the house, grab her before she walked in, and bring her to me. How hard is that? She’s a puny little human!I tried to relax and sit down behind my desk, but the last couple of hours I spent with Stephanie was quite the workout and I was starting to feel the soreness from it. I stood once again and paced the room. I was coming to the end of my patience and was ready to go find him when my phone rang.“Hello, Alpha” A sultry she-wolf voice came from the other end of the line.“Where is Edgar?” I questioned harshly.“Oh, come now, Alpha. Don’t you trust us?” She cooed softly.“No. I don’t.” I heard a small huff from her before she answered.“Well, that’s your problem. You said take her and bring her to you, so that’s what he’s doing. He should be calling you shortl

Victor POVI stared down at the dead man lying on the forest floor. I didn’t recognize him. I inspected the wounds on his face and neck and the fatal blow to his chest. I saw three claw marks drawn across his neck and down his chest. I guess that she severed his carotid artery, and he bled out from that. All in all, Tori did some damage to him before killing him. Scratches and bruises were covering his neck and shoulders, his face had deep scratches that began to heal, and his mouth and nose had blood oozing from it.I ran over to Tori and knelt beside her. I grabbed her hand and squeezed as I did my best to hold back my tears threatening to fall.“Tori, baby, we have help coming. They’ll be here soon. Don’t try to talk.” I tried to calm her down as well as myself otherwise I’d panic and go wild. I was having a hard enough time keeping Ivan from shifting and tearing apart the body of the man who attacked her. She was staring into my eyes as she gasped for breath. There was blood flowi

Victor POVI stood in shock as Ryder purposely stalked up to Tori’s bed and leaned over to look her dead in the eyes. Tori was terrified at who she thought was her friend, now baring down on her with so much anger that you could feel the tension in the room like a brick wall.“Ryder! What is the meaning of this?” He continued to stare at Tori without even flinching at my command.“Little Miss Tori. Daughter of our illustrious Alpha Merrick Romanski.” Ryder stands tall, crosses his arms over his chest, and looks down at her.“Poor little girl can’t understand anything! You have a brain in that head of yours, figure it out!” Ryder begins to pace the floor by the bed occasionally glancing at Tori.“What is wrong with you?” Tori shouts at him in anger. He suddenly stops and jumps to the bed and hovers over her.“Ryder!” I shouted but he ignored me and focused on Tori.“Me!? What is wrong with you?” He shouts. “Take a look around you woman! Do you realize where you are?” He stands up and g

Tori POV“Then what the hell happened? Who healed me?!” I looked from Victor to Eric and settled on Tammy.“Mimi, who healed me?!” I all but screamed at Tammy a she came running over and wrapped her arms around me.“It’s okay sweetie, we’ll find out what’s going on, okay? Maybe you have self-healing strength that does not use your powers? It’s okay. You are going to be fine.” Tammy hugged me tighter, ran her hand down my hair and kissed my forehead. As she cooed soft comforting words to me, my tears flowed heavily down my cheeks, and I could see Victor speaking with Eric.“I have no idea. I need to notify the Alpha and let him know…” Before he could finish, I bolted upright in bed and yelled at him.“You will not notify the Alpha!” I felt a wave similar to a shock go through me and into the room. Victor and Eric stared agape at each other and then turned to me.“What the hell!” Eric whispered.“Did you just…?” I wiped my face and glanced between the two men.“What?” Tammy leaned back

Victor POVSweet honeysuckle and lavender filled my nose leaving a smile on my face. I took in a deep breath filling my lungs with the delicious scent. There was something else, but I could not quite place it. It was similar to the lavender but with a lighter tone. Either way, it felt soothing and warm, and even Ivan was wagging his tail as he purred in my mind.I opened my eyes to the beautiful sight of my mate curled up in my embrace. Her hair was splayed across her pillow and over her face. I gently swiped it aside and gazed upon her sleeping form. My heart was full and my mind at ease as I thought back to last night. I was crazy even terrified when I came across her lying gasping for breath in her yard. She fought her attacker hard and won, but almost lost her life in the process. I thought I was going to lose her, and my heart crashed. Then, seeing her in the hospital completely healed and sitting up, and face full of anger; I was so glad that she was alive and well. I would take

Tori POV I slowly opened my eyes and stretched my arms and the soreness from last night’s vigorous activities. Victor had apologized all night long for keeping things from me, and with each climax, I screamed my forgiveness. A smile came across my face but soon disappeared when I realized I was in bed alone. Popping my head up, I peered around the room and listened for the shower, but he was not there. I frowned at myself and felt disappointed until I saw his note on my nightstand. My Dove, Thank you for an amazing evening! I am genuinely sorry for what I did, and I will be forever grateful for your forgiveness. I am sorry to leave you; I am meeting the Alpha early this morning. When you are ready, come down for breakfast, and I will see you there. My love is yours, VMy heart fluttered in my chest at his words. They were so simpl
