Chapter Forty One   (Olivia POV)   I walk through the pack house holding my breath hoping to just get out of here before his scent reaches me. It has been 4 months since I had last seen him and I would be lying if I said it was easy but it’s just been frustrating. There is something I need to do but I am not ready to face him, and I wouldn’t be here if it was not absolutely necessary. Bradley has stayed close and has been a great support. We are just leaving the pack house and entering the front yard when I take a deep breath. Fuck! I smell fresh cut grass and an impending thunderstorm. Please let it be. I look at the grass, yes it has just been cut. Then I look up to the sky and there is not a cloud in the sky.  Like a magnet when my eyes leave the sky, I stiffen and my eyes dart t

Chapter Forty Three   (Chrisitan POV)   My eyes snap open and I am greeted by the dim light of my room. Laying on my bed I look around. There is my Beta Lex, my parents and Kathy.  “What happened?” Lex steps forward “From what Bradlley explained, the Moon Goddess told his Alpha how to reject you with her still having your mark. The mark will fade over time and will disappear fully when you mark someone else.” His eyes dart toward Kathy who smiles softly.  “How is this possible I marked her?” I see Lex’s shoulders sag and hear him swallow loudly. “Well it couldn’t only be Olivia, Liberty had to take part in the rejection, they had to do it together and they had to know it could kill the

Chapter Forty Five-   (Olivia POV)   It’s been about a week since I woke up and I am grateful no one has asked me to talk about what happened. I am happy when I step foot back on my pack and my people are ready to be home. I had managed to avoid Alpha Chrisitan, only having one near run in with him at the pack clinic. He was escorting his Luna to her appointment, the sight of her large swollen belly causing an ache in my chest. I didn’t walk too closely, afraid of what I might feel. I am not sure if since killing Daniel after finding him if the mate bond would be as strong but I don’t want to know. I thought I was going to go unseen until Castor, one of Jared's warriors and my friend called out my name, running up and spinning me around in the air. A small giggle left my lips and Christian’s eyes met mine. I walked with Castor down t

Chapter Forty Seven   (Christian POV)   I walk up the stairs to my office. My father and brother are supposed to be waiting on me stating they have something important to talk with me about. I walk in and nod my head in greeting to them before going to have a seat at my desk. “Dad, you needed to see me?” “Christian, do you know how important alliances are?” I nod my head in response. “You want your brother to maintain strong alliances?” “Where is this going dad?” “Do you want to share the alliances with your brother keeping both packs strong?” “Of course both packs are important and need to be strong.”

Chapter Forty Nine (Christian POV) I enter into the living room to find Lex and Monica speaking in hushed whispers. It appears they are having some kind of argument but stop the second they notice my presence.“Alpha Christian?”“For Goddess sakes Monica it is just Christian to you. You are my Beta female, the mate to my Beta, the mother to my godson and helped the pack when I wasn’t there. Please just Christian.”Monica lets out a nervous laugh. “Hope you still feel that way when I’m done.” I look at her quizzically. “I forgot my jewelry for the ball so I called to ask my mom to borrow some. She was just trying to be helpful. My mom called back
