Damien’s POVThe connection between Logan and Irina appeared to have taken it out of him, just like his first shift, he slept for hours afterwards. It gave me a chance to pack a bag and arrange a flight across to Arizona without to many interruptions.It was going to be the longest time that I had ever been away from Logan, but I wasn’t stupid enough to take him with me. Yes he may have been my only connection to Irina, but taking him beyond the pack grounds, it was just too risky and at least we could link each other.Austin was staying behind aswell, keeping an eye on the pack. This trip would be a solo trip, but I wouldn’t be coming home until Irina was safely with me. Austin had strict instructions when it came to Logan, as did his nanny’s and yet I still felt like my heart was breaking as I said goodbye to his sleeping body, watching for a moment as he sucked his thumb.The biggest problem though, Arizona wasn’t exactly small, and I could be there for weeks before I found anythin

Damien’s POV“Where is he, I assume you wouldn’t have travelled alone! She glares at me, waiting for me to say or do something.“Like I would tell you.” Those strict instructions that I had given Austin and Logans Nannies, they involved not taking him out the house, I knew Logan would have hated it, but without me there, I just had to know he was going to be kept safe.“Let me see, you are either hiding him here somewhere, an omega keeping him close by or he is under lockdown in his own home.”“Don’t even think of trying anything Phoenix”She growls at me as I drop the Alpha title. “We will come for him Alpha Damien or the Blood Pack will. Either way he has to die, and I am certain that we will not be the only ones that want him dead.”“I am warning you Phoenix, if you try to lay a single hand on my son, it will be the last thing you will do!”She starts laughing at me “Like you will even have a choice Alpha, that son of yours shouldn’t even be alive.”I didn’t care if the humans saw

Damien’s POVI didn’t want the human anywhere near my pack and I really hoped Irina would make the right decision. But as I tell Irina it is her choice; I see the struggle within her. Humans didn’t belong with wolves, there was a reason they were not supposed to know about us, and there was a reason we continued to remain separated from them. The people of this town though, they were very aware of our kind and that was bad enough.There were enough wars going on between packs without needing to create wars with humans too, and even though we were stronger, faster, they had something that we didn’t, they had silver bullets, an instant killer and we couldn’t protect ourselves from that.Lonecrown would rip her apart as soon as they scented her and even I couldn’t protect her from that.The humans’ eyes plead with Irina, and I could already sense what Irina was going to say.“I cannot guarantee her protection Irina”“But you are the Alpha”“Humans are different, they do not fall within m

Damien’s POVWhile the women sleep, I watch her, the human. I hated that she was here, but I was intrigued how a human had been mated to a wolf, especially one like Gunnar. We never learned much about him and now we never will.All those years ago, my father had told me that times were changing, and he was right, there was no denying it. Everything was so different now.I try relaxing but I can’t, everything just seemed so surreal, I was finally bringing Irina home, although with an annoying tag a long. At least she would finally be able to meet her son. I just hoped it would go as well as I wanted it too.I asked Austin to meet us at the airport for when we landed, I told him to bring Logan with him. Austin protested at first, reluctantly giving in when I change my tone with him. He just didn’t like the idea of letting Logan leave the pack lands and I understood why, but what better way for Irina to meet her son.Waking them just before we land, Irina’s eyes were wide with excitement

Irina’s POVSomehow, I just seem to know where to go. Logan clings to me as much as I cling to him, that overpowering feeling of love that I had heard new mothers talk about, well, I understood it now.His room was right next to Damien’s, the walls painted in a soft blue, all the furniture in his room white, it would have been exactly how I would have decorated it too, the funny thing was, Damien and I never got a chance to talk about that and yet somehow, he just knew that this is what I would want for our child.Logan wriggles in my arms, trying to get down and as I lower him, he runs over to his toddler bed, jumping up and down on the mattress in excitement and chattering to himself. It is only when a button on his top comes undone that a see a blue crescent on his chest. It looked like a mate mark, but how was that possible, how could he already have a mark and on his chest?“Mommy look at me.” He breaks my thoughts and climbs
