Part 2 Chapter 14
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

ALPHA CALLAN POVI was surprised when I slept until 5. I had really expected sleep to elude me with the meeting with the Council today. In anticipation of things such as this, Rollo typically was up early, as he was on high alert. ‘Decided to let me sleep?’ I joked to Rollo.‘I needed the sleep. I am still exhausted from the other day.’ Rollo stirred and stretched.I could only laugh, as I, too, was still feeling a bit of the exhaustion from the other day. But we needed our energy for today. It was clear that this was going to be a long day. I hadn’t meant to upset Raina yesterday, but I did have a feeling that the Council or someone at the meeting might ask for her to “prove” that she was a red wolf. It was ridiculous and I agreed with Raina about her concerns. If she didn’t want to shift or show them anything, then I would 100% support that. Quite frankly, it was ridiculous that they would even ask,

RAINA’S POVThe meeting room was stuffy and crowded. I could see at least 15 different packs represented at the meeting, if not more. Callan had filled me in on some basics about the different Alphas, including Alpha Brock and Alpha Scott, whom I had just met. Alpha Scott seemed nice but Alpha Brock was a prick. I could tell from the brief interaction I had with him. Callan also told me that there were 20 different packs spread across the U.S., although there were currently only 19 since no one had taken over for Alpha Thomas. Much to my surprise, there were apparently some pack members who had stayed behind.The Council sat along a long table at the front of the room on a raised area. Ten men sat along the table. As Callan walked us to our seats, I looked at each of them. While I wasn’t specifically trying to read the emotions of any of them, I was struck by the different emotions that some of them seemed to be experiencing. Most just seemed interested, ey

As the meeting wrapped up, the councilmen asked that each pack approach Callan to discuss planning, including when the warrior would be coming to our pack and how we would accommodate them. A few of the smaller packs were not able to send a warrior due to safety concerns, which made sense. Callan tensed a little bit when the first Alpha mentioned it, but I quickly put my hand on Callan’s arm to calm him down. One pack was a quarter of the size of our pack ad had lost several warriors in a recent rogue attack. It would be more dangerous for them to send a warrior for their pack. Not only would I have the guardian warriors protecting me, but I also have my own pack. It was important that we considered the other packs in the discussion, especially since I truly did have so much protection.“Luna Raina, Alpha Callan, I am so glad that you are so understanding. This last year has been very hard for my pack. During the last rogue attack, I lost my brother and a son. My

I awoke in the back of a car. My head was pounding. For a moment, I thought that I might have been knocked unconscious in the car crash and I was in the back of the car on the way home. But none of the smells in the car were familiar, and I knew that was too much to hope for. The pain in my head made it hard to open my eyes, but I forced them open. I was quite dark outside now. I tried to focus on the clock in the car, and, although it was blurry, I could just make out that it was 9:15 PM. “Looks like someone is awake.” A voice said from the front seat of the car. My head was throbbing, but I was awake and looking around, trying to get some understanding of where I was. However, there were just trees everywhere, so I really couldn’t pick up on anything. I looked up at the man in the front passenger seat. He looked young, but I knew that he was a vampire. I would guess that he is probably much older than I thought, although he looked like he is in
