POV LANCEI hate talking to my Dad. He is a ruthless Alpha and he is heartless. He is cruel and cold. My brother isn't any better. They are everything I don't want to be or associated with. I have found that I just need to tell him what he wants to hear so he doesn't come out here. His visit would be a disaster and I didn't want him to meet my mate until she was officially mine. He would scare her and try to mistreat her.I was relieved when this position was offered to me by the council. I wanted to get away from my father and his ways. That was no way to run a pack. I had always taken more after my mother. She was a wonderful woman and I missed her terribly. My father and brother were always awful to her and I vowed to never make my mate feel like that. Ever. Mate's were a gift and should be treated with love and respect. I would never harm my mate or make her feel bad if I could help it.I felt guilty about the things I had to say to my father about my lovely mate. I would never st

POV SamanthaWe drove for an hour when suddenly gasped and everyone turned to look at me."Jules! What about Steph?" I lamented and he smiled at me."Alpha asked if she wanted to go with us but she had too many duties at the pack hospital. It will be tough to be apart but she and I can call each other and she may meet up with us later." Jules explained as he drove.(They have been fighting a lot lately. She wanted to break.) Troy linked me and I nodded."We need to ditch this car. There is probably a tracker on it." Gavin said."Let's drop it at the train station and take a cab to airport." Troy suggested and the rest of us agreed.Gavin quickly looked up directions to the nearest train station and airport. He directed Jules for another hour until we finally found it.(FUCK! Lance knows. Go on a plane, he is livid) Dad linked us and we all tensed.I was surprised that he was still able to link us since we were so far away.How did Lance find out so quickly? We had expected to have mos

POV LanceIt's been 10 fucking months since I have seen my mate's face! Heard her kind voice! Felt her soft skin! My wolf and I have on edge the entire time. The only thing that is kept me sane is the fact that I never felt the pain of Samantha bring harmed or cheating on me. I knew that she was alive unharmed and faithful.Of course, that doesn't mean that I am not angry at her for running. I was livid when I found out. When I figured out that she had overhead what I had said a while ago, I understood but then I was angry all over again for her not coming to me to talk to me about it. Instead, she chose to run.I knew that her father and family were helping her and a dark part of me wanted to go to war over it. I knew that they, probably even encouraged her to run. Thankfully, my Beta, Trevor, talked me out of a plan that could have killed countless Werewolves. He also helped me understand why Sammy would ran.As much as I hated it, I did understand. Now. She had been hurt by an Alph

POV LanceI started at my little mate I vaguely heard her Dad suggest that we get started. I was in awe of her. I couldn't believe that she was actually sitting next to me after all this time. I looked up startled when her father cleared his throat. Everyone was smirking at me and I sighed."What?" I growled."What do you want?_ her dad pressed and I rose an eyebrow."You know what I want. I want my mate to come home with me and join me in running our pack" o began.Samantha looked pained at my words and her family glared at me after I said that so I continued."But, I want Samantha to be happy, safe and comfortable even more than that so I will do what I need to do to ensure that she is." I added.The room seemed to relax and Eddie smiled at me in encouragement. He looked proud. Samantha's Mom and Stacy both looked pleased at my answer but her Dad, Troy and Sean still looked suspicious. Samantha looked at me with a questioning look."Even if that means that I go back to live with my

Stacy finished the contract and everyone read and sighed it. Samantha was exhausted and she could tell that the others were too."Okay! Everyone to bed! Samantha, you are staying in this suite in the other bedroom. Your Mom and I have the master bedroom in here. Sean, you will be in the room the next door. Troy and Stacy, you will be on the other side. Lance, here is the rest of your rooms for your warriors. Sean here is the rest of ours, please sort everyone out for me. We will meet in the lobby at 8am for breakfast and then plan The rest of our stay." Her Dad ordered and she shook her head at him."Do you think that I should even try to ask for you to stay with me?" Lance whispered in her ear and she blushed." No way. First of all, I say no.Secondly, my Dad and brother would kill you for even suggesting it." She snapped and he chuckled."Fine." He agreed as we stood."I will come by here around 7: 45 so we can go downstairs together, alright?" He tried.A part of Samantha wanted t
