Lydia is sitting in the living room of the Beta's villa. She smiles when she sees me approach her. This is similar to the main house but it's bigger and it is designed to accommodate a lot more people. Just like the other ones.  "What's up, Sweetness? I hear you guys found a little omega princess,"  "That's what I wanted to talk to you about," I say sitting down next to her. "Where's Rocket?"  "She's asleep. I gave her a sedative. Wolfbane withdrawal is very painful,"  "Uh, okay. Well, yes. There's a little omega in our basement and Arthur groomed her to-"  "I know," she nods. "Most omega females are groomed this way. What do you need help with?"  "Well, I told her I'd get her some stuff so she can shower but she said that Arthur is the only one allowed to bathe her. Jet said it was because she'd trigger her heat,"  "Right, omegas do that. They trigger their heat to get their mate to mark them

How do I ask my brother if he knew that he is the son of the man who literally made all of us who we are? I mean it's pretty fucking cool in my opinion. Did he know Jayk was his son or did Mom keep that her personal little secret? Other than that, I really don't have that many questions. Maybe just one more. Why didn't he tell me if he knew?  After a long run, I come back to find Ashton making food. He immediately sets down an ice cream bowl in front of me. It has French vanilla ice cream, raspberries, and blueberries. He also places two disposable cups with the same thing in them. I take them and head back down to the basement to give them our prisoners.  This time, Jet is watching TV. I don't know who put that in here for him. I place the cups in their cells without saying a word and lock the door. I'm a little upset that this is the way I found out what we are and who my brother's biological father was. I bet Leelie knows everything.  "Hey,"

"That's actually a good idea," Jayk says when Miles tells him what I said about the cotton. "We can put a border around it. I was thinking of using it as a hideaway for the other omegas, but this is better,"  "You can't isolate them," Lydia taps my head. "Their wolves can't handle that,"  "Anyone get anything good out of Cutler?" he asks, ignoring her. She glances my way and then averts her gaze.  "You mean how you're alpha Luther's son?" I ask. There was no other way for me to bring that up and since he's being a fucking asshole anyway. I might as well add extra wood to the fire. Make it bigger. Everyone looks at me and then at him for confirmation. Everyone except for Leelie.  "That's not important," he tries to brush me off.  "Wait, wait," Micca stops him. "That is really fucking important. What the fuck do you mean?"  "Jayk, if that gets out, we can get the pack back. Our lands. Our people. Tha

I can't believe it's been an entire month since I first shifted. It feels like a lot longer than that. I've been trying to find as much information as I can on the betas Jayk assigned me. They're just a bunch of rich guys who pay tribute to their alpha. They do a really good job at keeping everything together in their sectors. Perhaps looking for something to exploit them with isn't the best strategy. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still going to do that, but maybe I can find a less dramatic way to get them to cooperate with us. The last thing we want is to make the target we already have on our backs worse. Some of the sectors around our continent are fully exposed to the outlands. Territories claimed by other supernaturals. Vampires are the biggest threat. There are more of them than there is anything else on the planet combined. If there is anything that Warheads are good at, is ripping those fucking leeches apart. Shadow wolves were designed specifically to infiltrate covens

It's early in the morning when I open my eyes again. There is an arm locked around my waist. When I look up, I find Micca asleep with his hands tucked under his head. He's facing me. He doesn't have a shirt on and I can see the gauze on his chest where I bit him. It's not red so I reach for it and gently pull it down to reveal the nasty scar and bruising. I can't see the one on his neck because his hands are covering it.  "It's four in the morning. Go back to sleep," Miles murmurs into the back of my neck. My body shivers from how close he is to my mark.  "Bathroom," I croak. He places a kiss on his mark making me tremble and then releases me so he can turn away. I sit up looking around the room. I feel different somehow, but nothing has changed. Not really. I slowly crawl off the bed and make my way to the bathroom. The first thing I do is look at Miles's mark. The two crescent marks are completely healed. I look down at my marks to find hi
