"Now, as the true mate of your old Alpha's firstborn, I am ready to take the Alpha position of White Crest. If anyone feels that they are better suited, now is the time to challenge me," I say while taking off my shirt.
My chiseled chest and shoulders are impressive. I've never been a burly guy like Emmett, but I'm all muscle. I make sure to train every part of my body. I refuse to have a weak point. I flex and raise my chin. I let my new Alpha aura pulse through the air. My eyes wander through the crowd of 93 people. Each male drops his eyes respectfully, and I internally sigh.
I nod my head and glance at my mate, whose cheeks are flaming. I suppress the urge to pounce on her.
"I pledge to serve and protect the wolves of White Crest. You will never have to fear betrayal again," I said in a firm voice. The crowd erupts into howls and cheers.
"It brings me great honor to also announce my mate as your Luna then, and again if you think you can..," I say as
R RATEDOne week has passed since the executions, and I have done nothing but hold meetings. The pack to the East, Snow Point, is the closest and has agreed to allow White Crest clinic privileges. In exchange, I am to train their warriors with ours. Emmett decided to not leave us high and dry, though, andcontacted multiple packs to find a doctor interested in moving up. The clinic will be built as soon as Scott sends me his proposal. The pups will all begin school in August, which is months away, but I figure they would be fine until then.I open my email, hoping that he has opened the purse strings for us. White Crest is definitely in the poor house. Alpha Layne made no investments, so there is no income. Also, the lands are overhunted, so we have no large game. The pack doesn't have money to purchase food consistently, so they hunt like Rogues. The pack's account has a measly $117,000 in it, which isn't near enough to support our 102 member pack.Jane actua
6 months later"Is everything packed," I callout. I'm about to grab Jane's first bag out of what feels like a hundred. She has been running around all morning in a nervous frenzy. Seeing the Queen again has her on edge. The last time I tried to load the car, Jane nearly bit my head off.A faint "yes" meets my ears from upstairs, and I chuckle. I haven't been in this good of a mood in ages. I'm not too fond of the paperwork that comes with being an Alpha, and I need a break. Visiting Riverstone is just what I need.Klaus grabs another two bags with a massive grin on his face. His month with Clint has proven to be beneficial. His frame has filled out, and he knows how to run a pack in my stead."Do you think Luna packed enough for the weekend," he asks sarcastically taking in all of Jane's luggage.I play growl and roll my eyes. He chuckles loudly. "Mark," I yell out, hoping the boy is close to the house.Without his wolf hearing, it takes mor
THE ENTIRE STORY WILL BEFROM LANCE'S POINT OF VIEW. THIS STORY IS FOUR YEARS AFTER EMMETT AND LISA STONE BECAME THE NEW KING AND QUEEN. The only new character is Clints mate.PLEASE READ ALPHA'S TOUGH GIRL AND ALPHA'S LITTLE SISTER FIRST.This is Book #3 please read Book 1 and 2 first.I slam into my house. I'm sotired of these whiny pups. Each batch of new warriors seems to be getting lazier and lazier. The only teens who have any common sense or work ethic are the ones born from the original Riverstone Families. The new packs we added four years ago just don't seem to get it.I strip down as I walk through my house, leaving a trail of sweaty clothes, and head for my little bathroom. I need a cold shower to cool my burning rage. It's like these youngsters think that training is a joke. They believe, since they are in the Royal Pack, that no one would dare hurt them. I turn
The next week was spentclearing land and dealing with families who didn't want to move.I'm exhausted, and if Clint's appearance is a reflection of my own, then I look like shit. But 10 miles of flat land is now cleared and ready for New Builds. The new Packhouse and Family homes are about two miles to the east of Alpha's house. The old packhouse will be split between Omegas and any visitors the pack has.The old pack hospital and schools will be torn down and rebuilt on a larger scale. But the locations are central so that they will be rebuilt in the same spots. Scott has been throwing around ideas for the farther territories. Viable businesses to increase pack revenue even though we don't technically need it.Emmett and him actually had a row over it. Scott wants the Royal pack to be the wealthiest, so other packs respect us completely. Emmett said to earn wolf respect; we need to be the strongest. Clint and I jumped in, siding with both. We need to d
R RATEDThe border run revealednothing. The patrol was definitely a thin team, but they didn't leave gaps, and they gave off good confident vibes. Ace and I had pinned our mate's scent to the Alpha's house.The Alpha's house and the packhouse are similar. They have a nice modern cabin feel to them. They are even fancier than Riverstone's.Finally, I shift and pull on my clothes. I send the warriors to the packhouse. Ace hadn't even focused on the scents as we ran. He was continually howling and yelling for us to follow our mate's flowery scent.Approaching the Alpha's door was scary. I have never been scared of any female until Luna. But meeting this particular female has me petrified. Self-doubt radiates through me. Ace rolls his wolf eyes at my irrational thoughts.Ace- go. Open door. NowI roll my eyes at Ace and knock. A fiery and somewhat plump she-wolf immediately opens the door. "Please come in, Gamma Lance," she says loudly.Ho
R RATEDI fill my days withinterviews. Each family with a missing pup says the same thing. They put their son to sleep, and in the morning, he was gone. No signs of a struggle and no scent left behind. The other two packs are a little different. Clayton and Raven interviewed the pack to the East, and Tiff with Ryan interviewed the pack to the west.The two other pack's male pups were taken during the day, and all were outside. That tells me that WC pups are being taken by an insider, and the other two packs are being hit by an outsider. But all three packs share one detail, no scent. Even vampires have a smell. A sickly sweet scent that should be present if they are taking pups.I call Emmett daily with my collected information. I have been gone to look for my mindlink to be active still, so phone calls are our best bet.The new builds are in full swing, and little Mike is doing good, Emmett tells me. The Elites and I want to go home, but we can't. In t
R RATEDI groan, rolling over to turn off my phone's alarm. I grab my messy bag from the floor and pull on fresh clothes. Who cares about taking a shower. I want her smell on me for Evan. I want him to know I have had her too.He is always in thekitchen when I grab my coffee from Wilma. Excitement bubbles in my chest at the thought of rubbing our sex smell in his face.As I approach the kitchen, a smirk hits my face. Evan, Alpha Layne, and Jane's scents are strong. Perfect, the whole group is together. I take long, powerful strides into the room. I let my power ooze from within me. Being Royal puts me above all the wolves here besides the Alpha, and I, for once in my life, love my new title.Alpha Layne growls lowly and glares at his daughter, who has turned a deep red. She, of course, washed my scent off her delicate skin. Wilma hands me my coffee with an amused glint in her eye. I want to laugh at the traditional wolf who is surrounded by morons.
I woke up in extreme pain. My head felt like it was splitting open. I groan, and a body shifts next to me. I freeze, remembering my late-night activities. My eyes dart to my door. Thankfully it is now closed, but I don't believe Tiff or I closed it.Slowly Iuntangle myself from Tiff's warm naked body. I feel so awkward. I have a very naked she-wolf in my bed........in mymate's house. What do I say to her? Thanks for last night, but Ummm, please act normal around me. Act like you didn't have me in every hole of your body. Oh, and please leave as fast as possible.I scoff at myself in my head. She is obviously more versed in the "morning after" than I am. I should just wake her up. I should get used to this since my mate doesn't want me. A life of different she-wolves until I can find one I care about.My head throbs more at my relentless banter. I wish Ace were up to par so he could help with my hangover."Tiff," I say, shaking her gently.Sh
