Spencer’s POV“Spencer, don’t stop, ohhh,” Dawn is under me and, damn, she feels good. Tomorrow is our commitment ceremony and Mom is insisting that we don’t see each other until Dawn walks down the aisle.“Dawn, fuck, you feel good,” I groan as I use the headboard to pull myself into her.“I’m there, I’m there,” Dawn screams as we finish together. As part of the compromise with her father, she has an implanted birth control until she finishes college. She chose the nursing program at Pacific Union about 45 minutes off packlands. I will be at Sonoma State an hour off packlands in the opposite direction. I’m not thrilled, but even my parents agree it's a good idea. Bella will be at pupcare all day while we are in classes. Stevee and Mom will probably take her out often and spoil her senseless. Not to mention my Dad’s adopted brother Eric, who is a head warrior and thinks the sun rises and sets with Bella. He and his mate are childless by choice, so spoiling a niece sounds good to hi

Spencer’s POVPaul- The fat man is alone.Me- How do you know?Paul- Smell him, he barely has his own scent.Me- Have you ever seen an actual round person?Paul- Not until today.Me- He is actually round, if not for his head, he would be a ball.Paul- He is lonely, he is not a threat.Me- Steven sees him as a threat, therefore, he is a threat.Paul- Granted. Don’t piss off the father of our mate.Me- Yeah.“Are you okay?” Stevee asks Dawn.“I’m fine, I just wasn’t expecting him,” Dawn is lying. She is hurt.Paul- I think she wanted her birth mother to show up.Me- We sent Teresa an invitation to the party. She didn’t respond.Paul- If our pup feels this way about that Evelyn bitch, I'll track her down and rip out her throat.Me- I promise not to fight.Paul- Good Human.“Baby, Let’s enjoy our night,” I kiss her head.We dance, eat, laugh, and enjoy our friends.“You two ready?” Mom asks near the end of the evening.I’m taking Dawn on a two-night getaway to celebrate both her 18th and

Spencer’s POV“Mr. Bazin. I understand going to the birthing center. Modern women are not as keen on medicine as they once were. But whoever performed the surgery on your wife has absolutely no business working on humans,” the Doctor’s words are like ice water. “The incision was sloppy and it’s already bleeding excessively. I am going to open her back up and see if I can repair the damage. What procedures did she have?” “Cesarean and hysterectomy,” Ki answers for me as I can’t speak. Paul-Whitmere is dead.Me- Yes. “The pack will demand a trial,” Dad tells me before I can give the order. “Assault on the Luna doesn’t get one,” I snap. Everyone is showing submission to me, even Steven who is not a pack member or a wolf. “Spencer,” Mom rubs my back. “Let the doctors work.” A loud beep from Dawn’s room makes me jump. Dad and Mom hold me back as TJ, Victor, and Matthew hold back Steven. “Let them work,” Stevee says. The sound stops but no one comes out. “Is she alive?” Steven asks

Dawn’s POV“Bitch,” I slap Evelyn across the face.“How dare you touch my Luna,” a big man starts to come at me and Marcella stops him.“I am a Luna,” I snap at him. “She is a worthless piece of shit who abandoned a baby.”“I left her with her father and his mate,” Evelyn is holding her face. “Blame him, he didn’t want me with a kid. He was going to reject me.”“Why come back now?” Evander asks.“She finally gave me a son,” The Alpha says, clearly annoyed. “She can have her daughter now.”“My daughter,” I snap again. “And no, she can’t.”“We will bring war to this pack if you don’t let me see her,” Evelyn threatens again.“You are from what pack?” Spencer asks.“Pack Easton,” the Alpha answers.“David Easton,” I say. Everyone looks at me. “Call Chad.”Alpha David’s eyes get large.“You forget Chad Nightingale is my Alpha’s cousin,” I say. “Oh, my maiden name is Royce.”David sits down.Spencer, Evander, and Marcella are looking at me with jaws slack and eyes wide.“Pack Easton is abou

Spencer’s POV“Talk to me,” I say, looking him in the eye.“Okay, I think Whitmere helped set this up to bring forth Claudia. Whitmere knew Dawn had a wolf, she was sure of it. Only two people have visited Whitmere since her capture. The nurse Langston to treat her wounds and her daughter Natalie. I think one of them got word to Evelyn to come get Bella and whoever called Evelyn’s showed the warriors the Saferoom entrance,” Matthew lays it out.I mull it over and it’s not too far out there, “Do you have any proof yet?”“I have phone records,” Matthew hands me his tablet.“Both of them called Easton,” I say confused. Matthew nods.“So they both did it?” Dawn asks.“Looks like it. I don’t think killing Uncle Steven and Aunt Ki was the original plan. The reports from the new doctor says they tried to use non-lethal means on the warriors too. But the warriors fought hard. Our warriors only lost because they were drugged first.”“Makes me feel better about their training,” I say, looking o
