Sam POV “What the hell happened today, Josie?” I ask as I look at our fallen warrior. I see the warriors travelling with us arrive on the scene and I see their look of sadness momentarily before they cover their emotions like a good warrior does. There is no time for grieving on the field. That was for later. “This Shane guy says he is my brother,” she murmurs to me as if she is still confused by what has happened as well. “How?” I ask perplexed by what she is saying. She pulls herself together as she looks at me. “I do not have all the details. Only that he came from my birth mother and father after Eric and I were born,” Josie shares with me. What a fucked up mess. “And now he is trying to kill our people?” I ask. “That part I do not understand. We were bringing him in for further questioning when his vehicle was hit,” Josie replies. “And then we took off. I saw people pull Shane from the wreckage, but I did not realize he was with th

Jenna POV “What?!?” I reply as I hear what Josie has said. Our mother is alive. My heart starts racing. Where has she been all this time? Was she there of her own choice? Was she being held against her will? I cannot stop all the thoughts racing through my mind. As I stand there I start to shake and feel tears welling up in my eyes. These damn hormones have made me more emotional than usual; however, this was a big revelation. Was it true? How was it even possible? We had been told she had died with my father. As I feel all these emotions Adam moves to stand in front of me cupping my face with his hands. “Jenna,” he says quietly. I slowly focus in on him as he repeats my name. There they are – the eyes of my mate. Trying to breathe I realize I am starting to hyperventilate. “Just breathe, Jenna. Follow my breaths,” Adam says calmly. I start to watch him. Breathe in. Breathe out. We followed that pattern for the time it took to c

Sarah POV As we were walking toward the SUV’s I caught a glimpse of something coming around the building and heading directly for us at optimum speed. It had an intent that meant more harm than good. Wanting to protect everyone, I throw up a protection barrier, preventing the menacing men from reaching us. Suddenly the warriors were surrounding us as I realize we had all been pushed to the ground. Scrambling, I jump up wanting to ensure the protection barrier stays. I see Josie help Jenna up. Both look fine. Jenna looks a little shaken up but that is to be expected of anyone carrying their future pup. Once she was certain Jenna was alright Josie turned her glare on the two men who had been trying to reach us. Only they were gone. In my haste to protect, I had not contained them at the same time. “Release the barrier,” Josie yells. I do and Josie takes off in the direction the two men ran. “Josie, wait!” I yell trying to catch up. I he

Sam POV My mind was exploding. “What?” I ask uncertain if I heard Josie right. “We are having a pup,” Josie repeats with her smile weakening. “How?” I ask. “How?” Josie asks uncertain what I was asking. “I mean when? Or how? I do not know what I mean!” I reply as I sit there in complete shock. “Are you not happy?” Josie asks cautiously. I look at her still in shock and I realize she is thinking I am not happy about the pup. I lean down and kiss her softly before I reply, “I am not just happy, baby, I am ecstatic!” I say to her before I capture her lips in a more demanding kiss. I want to get her back to our room and show her just how happy I am to hear this amazing news. “Are you happy?” I ask Josie. I knew she had not had the best time growing up and I wondered what was going through her mind. “I am thrilled but terrified,” she replies. “I will be with you every step of the way,” I promise her. “I am counting on that. I did not have

Lucas POV Holding Daniel in my arms was a dream come true. I could not believe he was in front of me. I had dreamed of this moment for so long it seemed surreal. I kissed the top of his head before pulling back slightly, “How are you here?” I ask him excitedly. Had he come home for good? I could only hope he was done whatever mission he had been on. He shakes his head, clearing his throat, “No, I am not coming home yet,” he says as he pulls away. “Why are you here?” I ask feeling my heart crumble a little, but equally thrilled to see him even for a few moments. “It is far worse than I thought it would be,” he says quietly. “How do you mean?” I ask wondering what hell he is going through. “I cannot get too far into it. The less you know the better. But for now, I just needed to see you. To remind myself of why I am doing this,” Daniel says as he turns away from me. I move behind him wrapping my arms around his waist, resting my chin on hi
