Alicia’s POV“She has given birth,” Kale tells us. “Lewis has set up protection charms. I can’t get to her or the pup.”“That Pup will be heir to Conrad Pack,” Clive says. “We need to get her here so we can pup her. Our pup will be the heir to King of Werewolves.”“We agree to share, yes?” Damien demands, staring at his brother.“Of course, little brother,” Clive smiles. “Don’t you worry.”“As long as Lewis stays at Conrad, we won’t be able to get her. Plus, the Caster Community has made Conrad the most protected sight in the world. If not for my inside person, I wouldn’t know the pup was born,” Kale tells us.“You projected inside the Alpha Apartment,” Clive sighs.“Yeah, before Lewis arrived. I told you Finch saw me. He had charms on within a week. He has that place locked up tight,” Kale huffs and slams his fist. “But I am not giving up. I will get back to her somehow.”I wish he had just stabbed me in the heart.“To bring her to us,” Damien continues for Kale.“That is my job,” Ka

Ariella’s POVThe smaller one is coming at me first. We are in a stone room, I can’t see the walls. The light from the moon is coming through large squares in the ceiling.He shifts has he stalks toward me.“Oh, goodie!” I smirk.Juliet comes forward and I shift quickly. The rogue wolf stops and stares at Juliet. She is impressive. Very large for a female. I don’t think they were expecting this of me.The larger one also shifts and stalks close to his brother.Juliet- Two on one. My favorite game.Me- Don’t play with them.Juliet- I’m getting us back to Monty.Both wolves jump at Juliet, who jumps over them. She turns and grabs the smaller one's leg, swinging him into the larger one. The larger one flies into the darkness with a yelp. She rips the smaller ones leg off and tosses it into the darkness as well.“I won’t hurt you, Juliet,” Kale claims and shows submission. “I miss you and Ari. I love you both.”“Traitor,” the smaller one has shifted back to human form and is bleeding out.

Finch’s POV“Can you bring my cufflinks, Sweetheart?” I call from the bathroom.Today we have the funerals for the students, warriors, and allies we lost. All totaled, our side lost 53.“Here,” She hands them to me as she nurses Monty.I stop and look at her. Her black dress with sheer sleeves fits perfectly. Her dark brown hair is styled in a wave of perfections. Like the ocean on clear calm day. Her bold brown eyes captivate me. This is my wife, my forever, and attached to one of her perfect breasts is our son. A baby made in love between Ari and I. A perfect proof that Ariella Conrad and I love each other.“Thank you,” I say, leaning in and kissing her perfect tinted lips.“Have you talked to the boys yet, about Jessup?” Ari asks as Monty sleeps in her arms.“We will talk after Alicia and Kale are dead. That is what we decided. Your father sent guards to the pack to keep them safe and keep them in line,” I tell her. “You ready to face him tomorrow?”She looks at me and shakes her he

Ariella’s POVJuliet- Hey, you ready?Me- You live inside of me, and you are asking that?Juliet- Do you feel it when I roll my eyes?Me- Yes, but I don’t care.Juliet- Seriously. After yesterday, are you mentally prepared to take on Alicia?Me- Yes.Juliet- Good, me too! Roxy is going to hurt.“Hey, where are you?” Finch asks, squatting in front of the rocking chair I am sitting in.“Talking to Juliet,” I say as I move Monty to the other boob.“How do you feel about what the boys said last night?” Finch asks, looking me in the eye.Juliet- He hates it. Just so you know.“I hate to see Anderson leave, but I know he will be a good Alpha. He has learned from his mistakes. He will need a good Beta, but I think Anderson will thrive. Carter should NOT be an Alpha,” I say and both Finch and I laugh.“No argument from me,” Finch laughs.“As much as I want Everly and Finley here, Everly would make a perfect Luna,” I tell him.“Again, no argument from me. In fact, I think she and Tina would mak

Finley’s POVBanjo- Did she have to throw the head toward the parents?Me- It’s Ariella, you expected less?Banjo- Fair point. She has a petty side.Me- Petty? More like vengeful bitch.Banjo- I was trying to be respectful.Me- Whatever, dude.Banjo- Mate is uncomfortable.“Baby, do you want to go lay down?” I ask, checking on Everly. She smiles softly and nods. “Let me carry you.”I scoop her up and walk away from the killing field. Yesterday, it was just a challenge field, usually to tap out or first blood. But Ariella Conrad knows only one way to win a challenge, bloody death.“Why did you let Anderson kill Kale?” Everly asks me as I walk. She is leaning into my chest.“I couldn’t. He was evil and traitrus. But I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t do the same things he did if you asked,” I tell her as I kiss her head. “He was a man overtaken by the Mate Bond.”“You would fuck and kill my sister for me?" Everly laughs.I must make a disgusted face because Everly looks offended.“So
