Kassandra’s POV Taylor- You ready sis. Me- Let’s do this brother. T-Minus three minutes. “Taylor is ready in three minutes,” I tell Toby who mindlinks our warriors. I can’t mindlink them until my Luna Ceremony and I won’t have that without Eddie. We are set up around a fortified building. We have two artillery guns set up to to blast the gate. Spies tell us there are forty guards inside and ten Lunas. My original plan would have had us out numbered. So I’m grateful for the advice to take more. Now we have a perimeter set up and once the gate is blasted I and forty-five of our female warriors are going to reign hell down on them. Me- Ten, nine, eight, seven, (I signal my gunners) six, five, four, three, two, one. Tony- Attack My gunners blast gates. We wait and the guards start pouring out. Setting up a perimeter and leaving the inside empty. I notice they have guns. Not a normal weapon for a wolf, unless they have silver bullets. “No one moves those are silver bullets. I’

Edward’s POV “Kass, talk to me,” she was silent knowing that I was angry. “She is my mother, she looks just like me,” Kass looked me in the eyes. “If you saw her you couldn’t kill her. She literally looks exactly like me. Delaney thought it was me.” “Delaney fought in the battle?” I’m surprised Delaney is a good fighter, but not someone I want on the front line when it matters. “She fought beside me to rescue the Lunas.” Kass look prideful. “She has been exceptionally helpful. The best Beta Female I’ve ever seen. She makes Ike stronger, smarter and keeps his wolf satisfied.” “Delaney is a slut whose only strength is between her legs,” I say not realizing what I’m saying. Kass narrowed her eyes and turned her chair completely so we were face to face. “Your underestimation of her is why the pack treated her so badly. You saw her beauty as a weakness and took what you wanted. Delaney is much more than a bedmate.” “You are blind if you think you can trust her. You don’t know t

Edward’s POV I wake up to my mate in training clothes. “You coming sleepy Alpha?” Kass asked. “How can you walk? I thought I wore you out last night,” I commented dragging myself off the bed. After her little dig at dinner, I may have been a little more aggressive in bed than usual. “I’m a wolf I heal fast, let’s go horny alpha.” I get dressed and we walk hand in hand toward the training yard. We meet Blake on the way. “Luna, Kristen was taken to the bus station. Her father refused to send a car instead sending his deepest apologies and promise she will be punished upon arrival.” “It’s not even 6am,” I said. “What time did she leave?” “About 4 her bus was at 4:45.” Blake shrugged and walked with us to training. “Babe can you work with Blake on his speed? He’s strong, he packs a mean punch but he is slow,” my Loachra smirks hitting Blake in the chest. “I’m going to work with the ladies.” She walks away to join a group of she-wolves. “Since when do we separate?” I a

Kass’s POV “Edward,” I yelled storming into his office. He still had everyone there, but I didn’t care. “Of all the pig headed, Misogynistic, moronic things you could do, you decide not to trust Delaney. You f**ked her so she can’t be trusted? You f**ked half the pack. I’m not convinced you didn’t bend over a few males when females were in short supply. Most of the she-wolves have submitted, have been responsible and respectful. Delaney has stepped up majorly, and you don’t trust her. Why Edward tell me why? I see you forgave your boys, why not Delaney? Are you so unable to believe that she chose her mate over you? Are you jealous that she could move on so quickly?” I stopped long enough to register his anger. I still didn’t care when he roared at me. “Roar all you want Alpha. I am countermanding your house arrest. Delaney has done nothing and should not be punished for choosing her mate over you.” The room was frozen. All eyes darted between Eddie and me. I may be his mate but n

Kassandra’s POV Falling into my brother’s arms was the best medicine. Having my father cuddle us both on a sofa while watching a movie was therapeutic. Having my mother register my face was out of this world. But still this week has been a fog. Erin thinks I screwed up the rejection because she can’t see me hurting. But I am hurting. The pain in dull, but constant. I felt Kyle start to move and my heart pinged. Eddie wasn’t there to feel it. I just hope this constant pain isn’t Eddie with another shewolf. I hope it’s the bond breaking. Training has been my refuge. Every morning 7 miles up the mountain and 7 miles down. No one will spar with me so a practice dummy it is. My new body is more difficult to maneuver than my old body. I can’t let myself get stiff I have to keep limber and fast. I stay to the Beta Floor mostly, when I’m not training, visiting mom, my cousins, or Uncle Marcus. The triplets will be released in another week. They are underage and were following ord
