Tyler’s POVWe took the stairs in a jog and continued to the front porch to see Con, Nick, and Emery sitting around the little fire pit table drinking some beer. Nick saw us first and a frown formed on his face, “Are y’all okay? What the fuck are you running for?” Dalton grabbed my hand and walked closer to the table staring directly at Emery, “It’s time.” He pointed to the sky and all three of them raised their heads and followed his finger. Emery stood quickly and sat his beer down, “Holy shit. I completely forgot. Do we have to do it tonight?” Dalton rolled his eyes, huffing in frustration at Emery, “Yes. The moon is at its highest and fullest. I just marked and mated Tyler.” Their eyes shot wide and smiles formed on all three of their faces. Connelly stood up and walked quickly to me pulling back the collar of Daltons giant T-shirt, “Yeehaw boys! Woulda look at that. We got ourselves a new Luna!” He smiled brightly before laying a kiss on my cheek. My cheeks lit up in flames as I l

Alpha Dalton’s POVWe were barreling down the road as my truck tires were spitting gravel. The tense energy was thick in the car and Tyler’s skin glowed brightly lighting up the night. I thought she was beautiful now but my Goddess she was truly magnificent. I kept looking over at her and was met with harsh waves of anxiety. She was scared she couldn’t fight off Maxine but I know she can. She is a LaFlamme and if history could speak for itself, she is stronger than what she even knows. I hit my brakes and skidded onto the side of the road, “This is where I get off. But first I need to try something,” Tyler eyed me with confusion as I pushed my mind-link to her. My eyes were slammed shut and I focused hard on the words I wanted her to hear, “Darlin’, can you hear me?” A gasp escaped her lips and her eyes widened, “What the hell was that? Did you just mind-link me?” I smiled in triumph as she rubbed her forehead and glanced over at Nick who had his jaw basically on the floorb

Tyler’s POVBurnt wood filled my nose and caused me to try to scratch at my face. My hands were linked behind me and realization washed over me as I sat up quickly from the dirt and hay covered floor. I blinked my surroundings into focus and noticed I was in a giant barn covered in bird shit and the smell of freshly burnt firewood. Great, where the fuck am I? I huffed and tried to pull my hands from the heavy cuffs that entrapped them. Funny how I’m the police officer and I’m the one being handcuffed. I rolled my eyes at the irony as I crinkled up my nose to try to get the itch to go away. I looked around and noticed it was mostly dark in here besides a small fire with one person sat around it, “Hey where the fuck are we?” I shouted through the huge space and a few birds fluttered from the raptors. A large man stood up and walked over to where I was sitting on the floor, “I don’t know, but it’s cold and dirty as shit. I passed out the same time you did.” I looked into his e

Alpha Dalton’s POV As I walked into the pack house It was eerily quiet, “I thought they all came here?” I asked out loud as Nick and Connelly stepped to my side, “They are in the back I think. Have you not mind-linked the Luna this whole time?” Connelly raised his eyebrow at me, “No, I haven’t. I had a lot going on and I knew once Benny got her she was safe.” I huffed and took a step farther into the house and Connelly scoffed at me, “Well, I don’t think that shit is nearly as important as your mate, but that’s just me.” I turned towards him, his eyes set on me in a pissed off way. I could feel the anger pulsing in my veins. Nick stepped between us, clearly noticing the tension, “Look, after all that shit I think we need to take a minute and chill out. Connelly, don’t question the Alpha. Dalton, you should have mind-linked the Luna. She is probably thinking something is wrong.” A weird guilty feeling came over me. Tyler had tried mind-linking me multiple times but I was so

Tyler’s POVWe arrived at the pack house and everyone was making a fuss over me. I was basically healed and feeling so much better. My mind was clearer and memories of Maxine trying to attack me flooded back. That skanky bitch. She would have gotten me too, if it weren’t for Thorn. He saved me. I had thanked him on the way back from the hospital and told him I also still didn’t fully trust him. He understood. He was fitting in just fine with our family. Momma and daddy had yet to discuss why or how he was taken away, but I’m sure we could get it out of them. Tallon was mind boggled because she never even detected a thought from our parents about him. They this secret very well. Maybe they all together pushed him in the back of their minds to forget the hurt. I doubt you could ever get over that though. Knowing my parents, especially my mother, she probably never got over it. Connelly had got us all settled in and had the kitchen staff start preparing dinner. He had been act
