Jessie’s POV “Sarge? Sarge, are you busy?” I heard a break through the pack link.  I nuzzled deeper under the blankets next to her, pulling her more into my embrace not wanting to answer the link. “Sarge?” I heard again. “WHAT?!? There better be a damn good reason that you woke me up this early or I am going to whoop your ass for you Pup!” I yelled through the link “Early, Sir, it’s after lunch time but yes, I have a good reason for “waking” you.” I hear him laugh through

Danica’s POV   We walk into the pack house and head for the kitchen to grab a bite to eat and hash out a plan on how to approach such a delicate situation. When we round the corner into the kitchen I can see that Jacob is there waiting for us. He bows his head to me and then shakes hands with Jessie and Sean. “Oh, and Jacob, I would like for you to meet Nichole. She is the one helping us with this investigation.” I say just as Nichole steps out from behind Jessie and Sean. I see them both lock eyes and have a look of utter shock on their faces. “MATE!” I hear them both say in unison. I look from one to the other and you can see that neither one expected to meet this way. Jacob is twenty one years old and I know that he had all but given up on ever findin

Danica’s POV After the meeting I just couldn’t stand the emotions that were boiling up inside of me. I kept thinking about the rogue that I saw slinking back into the woods while I was standing there watching our old pack house burn to the ground. Could that have been the “Noah” that Nichole was talking about. I will always remember the deadly smirk that he had on his face as he took one last look back at me before he? Disappeared back into the wilderness. That was the last straw. I needed to run for a while. Running in my wolf form was always the best way to think about things and to put them into perspective. I got some of my best ideas that way.I mind link Jessie to tell him that I was going for a run. I needed to get out of the pack house for some fresh air.

When we got back to the pack house,I was feeling a little hungry so we stopped by the kitchen for a snack. As we were sitting at the kitchen island, I finally remembered that I was supposed to ask Jessie about training Alpha Jackson’s warriors. “Hey Jessie. I almost forgot that I talked to Alpha Jackson yesterday and he’s wanting to know if he could bring a group of his warriors and have you train them for him? He will be coming with them.” I mentioned to Jessie. “Yes, I can do that for Alpha Jackson. When is he wanting to do this?” He answers me. “ He is leaving that up to you. He said to have you look at your schedule and I am supposed to let him know what you decide but with everything that is going on right now, I completely forgot to ask you about it.” I say. “

I have been very proud of my pack these past two weeks for getting everything ready for the Alpha’s arrival today. My Delta and my Gamma have been the best at keeping everyone well organized. I know that any of his warriors that are of age have a good chance of finding their mates while here so we might have even more to deal with if that happens.     I have decided to take my wolves for a run. I have been so busy the last few days that I have not had a chance to do that. Morgana especially has been anxious to be let loose this week while Michael is being his normal quiet and supportive wolf. I mind linked Jessie to see if he wanted to take a run with me after what happened the last time that I went alone. He said that he would be happy to go with me and would meet me in the back gardens shortly. Jessie fi
