R RATED
The border run revealed nothing. 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. Now
I 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
I wait at the luggage claimknowing Alpha will have one bag with both his and Luna's belongings. I grab the black bag with the enormous red R on it, just as Alpha's head comes into view.I walk towards them with a genuine smile. Man, I've missed my family. Emmett gives me a quick bro hug before Luna latches me into her death grip."Lisa let him breathe, love," Emmett says with slight jealousy. Luna releases me and gives her mate a gigantic eye roll.Emmett shrugs at her, and I grin. Alpha does much better than most wolves when it comes to possessive behavior, but even he isn't perfect."Lance, how are you doing," Luna asks, cutting right down to business."Ace and I are weak. He is worried that if she doesn't reject us before mating him..........we will die or worse go rogue," I say, meeting Emmett's eyes.Emmett's eyes harden. Alpha and him have had to deliver many mercy killings, but I know snapping my neck would devastate him. Luna gasps,
I watch as Luna takes off her shirt. As usual, she is in breathable pants, a t-shirt, and a sports bra. Many of the WC wolves gasp as they see how ripped Luna is. Which, of course, makes Luna smirk.Luna loves showing off her achievements from hoursat the gym. The lady is shredded but womanly. My mate's eyes are round with shock and fear. Ace growls, he is torn between respecting Luna and our mate being in danger.Lance- Emmett, Ace is growling. He might want to protect Jane.Emmett- we won't let Lisa go too far, Lance. Lisa is using her as an example.I clench my fists tightly as her floral scent mixes with fear. I watch as Luna sinks into one of her favorite stances. Jane tries to copy her. But Luna laughs at her, "Oh honey, look how weak you are." Jane blushes hard and barely avoids Luna's right jab."Your whole pack screams weak. But that's expected from wolves who don't produce pups with their true mates. Tell me, are you a true match result
"You don't need Evan for the passcode," Jane sayslowly, and our heads snap in her direction."Does someone else have access," Emmett asks with ahopefully gleam."I know the passwordhe typically uses for everything. He doesn't know that I know it. But why are you looking into the pack's finances," Jane asks Emmett with a suspicious tone."Your Father's behavior is sending up red flags. Also, there seems to be an irregular dispersion of money inside this pack. Your members live poorly and have no real income, but somehow there are fancy cars and modern renovations in the Packhouse/ Alpha house," Luna says, folding her arms over her chest.Luna is clearly not a fan of my mate. Ace growls in my head, but I agree with her. Does Jane know something? Not knowing anything about my mate sucks. I slowly step back from her, releasing all contact. The need to protect her is no longer a raging flame in my soul.Lance- Ace, if she is involved in pup
I have never spent so much time in a library in my whole life. Clint and I have read through hundreds of books. But we have yet to find any mention of scentless wolves. Clint has groaned several times about missing Simone,and I want to beat him with the thickest book I can find.I haven't spoken about Jane toanyonebut Alpha and Luna,and I plan to keep it that way. I don't need pity or sympathetic glances.I just need to know her decision so thatI can move forward. Being home has helped tremendously with Ace. He is not as weak,and our senses are back at full strength."I think I found something," Clint said,causing me to blur to his side.Vampire TrialsJames Neal- Coven betrayal- death 1542Vanessa Claw- Wolf Mate- death 1623Clifford Starn- Wolf testing- Escaped 1872, warning- high risk dangerous. Escaped with no Scent left behind.Clint looked up at me,and we both shrug. I have to retur
Tiff picked me up from the airport, which I appreciated. I felt connected to her. She understood the pains that could come with the matebond, and that was refreshing. To have someone that I could talk to openly felt nice. Plus, she was one of two women I had been intimate with."So did the asshole make it," I ask after about five minutes of comfortable silence."He made it, and he ....disappeared," Tiff said, shooting me side glances."What do you mean disappeared," I growl, not liking a potential suspect escaped."His surgery went great. Jane visited him, and they had an argument.....then he was just gone. No scent," Tiff answered tensely"Where was Raven? I stationed her there," I asked, turning my whole body in her direction."Evan was released from the hospital. Jane spoke to him in his room as they were releasing him. Raven stayed in the building. She didn't see where he went," Tiff said, quickly defending her fellow warrior."How
