Part 2 Chapter 10
I woke up early, for some reason sleep eluding me for most of the night. I had a nightmare shortly after going to sleep, and my sleep the rest of the night came in fits. I ultimately decided that I would stop trying to sleep and got up.
It was around 5:00 when I finally decided to get out of bed. Throwing on one of Callan’s sweatshirts and a pair of shorts, I made my way down to the kitchen, grabbing myself a cup of coffee. I looked over the back patio, deciding that I would take a seat and enjoy the early morning before others got up and it was time for the long drive back home.
I sat and looked out along the tree line. This was a dense forest compared to our tree line at home. I could feel someone looking at me from the trees and I noticed that Michael was coming out from running patrol. It seemed very early for him to be out, especially after the Luna Ceremony last night.
“Raina, you are up already?” Michael asked, w

ALPHA CALLAN POV A growl erupted from deep within my chest and Rollo came roaring to the surface. I instinctively pulled Raina behind me, my need to protect her ever present as I tried to process what the witch had just told us. Sarah took a step back at the growl, moving behind my desk. Beta Jack stepped in between me and Sarah, clearly aware that Rollo was on the brink of taking control. “What do you mean they want to kill her?” I roared, my anger and frustration creeping higher and higher. Raina placed her hand on my back and before I could speak further, I could feel a sense of calmness go through me. It was not a lot, but enough my anger to decrease to a reasonable amount. “Thank you.” I spoke to Raina through mind-link. I was still upset, but the calmness was enough that Rollo was not ready to attack someone. I pulled Raina in front of me, embracing her. “That was just through the mate bond, but if you hadn’t calmed down, I would have us

RAINA’S POV I could feel Callan’s eyes on me. I turned around and found him standing at the patio door. I smiled at him. The look on his face told me that Callan was upset. I had been sitting out here since I left Callan’s office, deep in contemplation about everything that had happened over the last few days and everything that Sarah just said. I ran through things too many times in my head. So many times, in fact, that Lela had to tell me to stop. I was thinking too much, and it was hurting her head. Deciding that it was not getting me anywhere anyway, I had stopped and sat meditating. Callan’s eyes on me had pulled me out of the meditation. Callan came towards me. I moved from the chair to the couch so he could sit next to me. When he sat down, I snuggled next to him, pulling my legs up to my chest as I rested my head on Callan’s shoulder. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer against him. “I spoke with Councilman Desmond. He said tha

The morning came much too quickly. I grabbed my phone to check the time. 7:30. That was much too early for me to get up. I turned back over in the bed, looking to see if Callan was still in bed. I was met with an empty bed. I had gotten used to Callan getting up before me. He liked to run patrol early. Every morning, he would run along two of the pack borders. He also would run along the rocky terrain on the third side of the pack territory line. The fourth border line was about 60 miles from the packhouse, so Callan would only typically run that border on the weekends. There were very few houses along that part of the pack territory, but six warriors and their families maintained the pack border out there. That land also served as a good location for more housing if we needed to expand beyond our initial plan.I got up and showered, thinking through the plan for today. I was meeting with the builders to discuss the renovation of the two bedrooms to expand our suite. Callan t

The sound of construction awakened me. I groaned, pulling the pillow over my head. Yesterday was stressful and I was hoping to benefit from sleeping in this morning, especially since Callan’s mother was returning today. I threw the pillow across the room, frustrated when I realized that the sounds were not going to stop. Callan had promised me that they weren’t going to start before 8. I should have negotiated the start time better. I liked my sleep too much to get woken up every morning for the next week until this construction was done. But it was a compromise. If the construction started too late in the day, they wouldn’t be able to be done in a week. I sighed and decided to get out of bed. There was a lot going on today, so it wouldn’t hurt if I actually got out of bed at a decent time. But I woke up early yesterday and getting up early two days in a row was definitely not my thing. I could do it, but I hated it. I jumped in the shower, hoping that the wate

I was sitting on the back patio when Callan approached. I couldn’t stay in the hospital room after the rogue chose for Callan to end his life. About a half an hour had passed since I had left the room, and I had been sitting, just staring out across the open field. Lela was upset, but she could not specifically explain why she was upset.‘I just feel uneasy. I think that it is because of the loss of the mate bond. What would we do if something happened to Callan?’ Lela spoke while pacing.‘I know. It is nothing that I want to think about. You know we can’t worry about things that may or may not happen in the future. Thinking about all of the ‘what ifs’ only increases our anxiety and makes us think the worst. If we go down that road, we will both feel like shit.’ I knew that Lela was uneasy and that the thought of losing a mate was stressful. But there had been no threat to Callan, so we couldn’t sit around worry abo

I awoke again to the sound of construction. I groaned but could not be upset about it. The check that I made prior to going to bed last night showed good progress. Unless something came up that stopped the progress, I was assured that the work was still on track to be done early.Stretching, I slid out of bed and I got myself ready for the day. When Callan got back from walking his mom home last night, the plan was to meet with his mother this morning for breakfast. I wasn’t sure if I was expected to make breakfast, and Callan was already out running patrol.Entering the kitchen, I was surprised to see Callan’s mom making breakfast. “Good morning, Raina! How are you this morning?”“Good, thank you. Can I help you with breakfast?” I asked, stepping around the counter to see if what I could help with.She waved her hand. “No, I am almost done. Waffles, eggs, bacon, and sausage.”I smiled. “It seem

I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at Callan’s comment. Based on what I was told from Dr. Powell, as well as the knowledge from Catherine indicated that we could mate, but the process was not as straightforward as it seemed. I had yet to provide Callan with information from Dr. Powell, as we hadn’t had a free moment to discuss it. Lela had been eager for us to have the conversation.“You talked to Dr. Powell, right? What did she say?” Callan asked, rubbing small circles along my arm.Callan pulled me on to his lap, clearly anticipating the information from the conversation.“So first,” I stated, turning slightly to look more squarely at Callan, “Dr. Powell does believe that my birth control is effective in wolf form. That is important, and I wasn’t sure of all the logistics of that. But since we don’t have sex in wolf form anymore, Dr. Powell will need to do more research, especially looking at histor

“Brett, how many times do I have to tell you? We are not going to talk about it!” I sighed in frustration. Brett just wouldn’t drop it. Even after walking away from him yesterday and trying to avoid him, he started hounding me about it the minute he saw me this morning. I was more focused on the last minute finishing touches for our suite, not trying to explain why Brett saw Rollo and Lela mating.“Can you at least explain to me why?” He asked, putting out his hand for the picture that he was hanging. He tricked me this morning by offering to help me hang up some pictures in the new suite. Had I known he was just going to be bothering me all morning, I would have declined his help.“You are pissing me off, Brett.” I growled at him, but he just laughed at me. I sighed in frustration, knowing that I was just going to have to cave and tell him. My brother was stubborn and if he wanted to know something or do something, he would di
