    Eli POV


    It’s been a week since ra and I had our pic date. Every day we have spent together, I see her


    smile andugh more. Ss was in his glory when we went on our first run in wolf form. Cora is smaller


    than the average wolf but she is beautiful. Thankfully, he was a perfect gentleman. After I’m showered,


    I head to my father’s office before breakfast. He linked mest night that he and my mother wanted to


    speak with me. My aunt has been trying to use her magic to locate the collective that is holding ra’s


    brother and I am hoping that is the reason for them wanting to see me so early. I knock and open the


    door. My father is sitting behind the desk and my mother is standing next to him with a huge smile on


    her face. “Take a seat son,” my father says. “Did Aunt Lily figure anything out about the collective?” The


    smile leaves my mother. “No, but don’t lose hope. You know how strong your aunt is.” I nod “so what


    did you need to talk to me about?”


    “We know you are taking things slowly with ra, which we both agree with. She is a lovely girl and


    has been through things that no wolf should ever endure.” I look at my mother confused. “I know we all


    had our idea about what happened to ra but why do you sound like you actually know what she has


    been through, mother?” I see sympathy in her eyes. “Lily was able to see some of her past when she


    healed her. We needed to know if we should prepare the pack for an attack.” “Why didn’t you tell me


    what she saw? It’s been driving me insane thinking about what happened to her.” “That is not their


    ce to share that with you Eli. Your mate needed to be ready to share that part of herself with you”,


    my father says. I nod, I know he’s right. “So we wanted to talk to you about your titles. When you and


    ra are ready, we will n your ceremony. There is no pressure. Iugh “except from the twins.” My


    mother smiles “I’m sure they will be fine for a little while longer. We would like to have a party and invite


    the Alphas and Lunas of the packs we have alliances with if you think that would be alright. We would


    like them to meet the future Alpha and Luna of the pack.” “I will talk to ra and, as long as she is


    alright with it, then absolutely. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you both. After everything, I know


    how lucky I am to have the two of you and Larisa.” My motheres around and I stand wrapping her


    in a hug. My father hugs me and I head to get ra for breakfast.


    I head back upstairs and knock on ra’s door. After a few more knocks, I open the door slowly.


    “ra”, I say into an empty room. She must be with Larisa. I walk back downstairs and into the dining


    room. My sister, ra, the twins, and Rose are sitting at the table eating breakfast. When she sees me,


    her eyes light up and warmth blooms in my chest. When I reach her, she wraps her arms around me. I


    press a quick soft kiss on her lips. We both take our seats. I look around the dining room and see the


    pack members smiling in our direction. I notice that Susan is sitting at a table with four girls that are


    whispering. “Eli, don’t worry about those girls. I don’t care if they like me or not. Mean girls are


    irrelevant in our lives.” I smile at how strong she is and Larisa has a look on her face like I told you so. I


    chuckle before I get up and go to grab my food. As I pile eggs on my te, I feel someone standing


    next to me. I look over and Susan is standing there. “What can I help with Susan?” “I was hoping I


    could meet ra and apologize.” I’m just about to tell her hell no when an arm wraps in mine.


    I smile knowing that she is doing that to show her im on me. “Of course you can,” ra says. She


    extends the hand that is not holding my bicep to Susan. “I’m ra, Eli’s mate. It’s nice to meet you.”


    Susan takes her hand and I don’t like her touching ra, but I don’t say anything. “ra” she starts to


    say and I correct her. “Please refer to her as Luna.” “Of course my apologies. Luna, my name is Susan


    and I want to apologize for my behavior thest time we saw each other.” “I will not hold past behaviors


    against you and I hope that you will stay true to your apology in the future. Thank you for trying to make


    amends.” Susan nods and heads back toward the table of girls. I set down the tray and lead ra into


    a hallway off the dining room. Before I can say anything ra reaches up and pulls my face to hers.


    This kiss is different than the others we shared. She deepens the kiss and I feel it all over my body.


    Ss growls low and I know I need to stop this. Not because I’m not enjoying every minute, but I want


    to respect ra’s need for time. I pull back and I see hurt sh across her face. She drops her head


    and I want to kick my own a**.


    I ce two fingers under her chin so she is looking into my eyes. “ra, that kiss was amazing.” She


    smiles “I thought maybe I did it wrong.” “ra, you could never do anything wrong. I just want to make


    sure” I start to say and she puts her finger to my lips. “I’ll make a deal with you. I promise if I’m


    ufortable with what is happening I will tell you, but you have to promise not to treat me like ss. I


    don’t mean that I don’t appreciate you being patient and not pushing me, but if I do something it’s


    because I want to.” I smile and pull her into me. This time I initiate the kiss. I kiss her like she is the air I


    need to breathe because she is. We pull apart when we are both breathless. She takes my hand


    without a word and leads me back to grab my food. Ss is prancing in my mind and I can’t help the


    chuckle that escapes my lips. “What are you chuckling about” ra asks. “Don’t you dare tell her,”


    Ss says. “Ss is just really happy we found you, just like I am.” We take our seats at the table and I


    say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for bringing me such an amazing mate.

    Alpha Mateo POV


    “This is f**king ridiculous. How could you not find any trace of them in the human city? The scent of two


    werewolves should stand out among the humans.” “Alpha, you know we have to be careful. Our


    presence cannot attract the attention of the Nightfire pack”, Bradford says. “My Luna and daughter


    have been missing for more than a week. Do you want my wolf to go feral without his mate?” My wolf


    could care less because he wanted to have that damn omega. Not to mate but as his own personal bed


    warmer. Alphas don’t mate omegas. “I suggest you get your a** back to that f**king city and find out


    where my mate is. I know how upset you would be if something happened to Melinda.” I see anger


    sh across his face but he schools his expression quickly. “We will return to the city and I will alert you


    if we find anything, Alpha.” “Good and I will reach out to Simone in the meantime.” I see concern on his


    face. He knows my father had dealings with her and that she is a ck magic witch. “Alpha, do you


    think asking such an evil creature for help is a good idea?” “Bradford, don’t question me again. You are


    the Beta and I am the Alpha for a reason. Now leave before I lose my patience with you.” “Yes, Alpha,”


    he says, and leaves my office.


    I speak with the patrol guard before I shift and head out of the packnd. There is a neutral territory


    that many super naturals frequent. A seedy bar that I normally wouldn’t be caught dead in is located in


    the center of the territory. Right now I have to suck it up because I need help to find that b**ch. She


    thinks that she can reject me and not suffer for it. She is sadly mistaken. As for my daughter, she is


    going to learn her ce if it kills me. I shift and pull on my clothes before I head into the bar. I can feel


    eyes on me as I survey the patrons. My eyes settle on a woman with long jet ck hair. I have only had


    dealings with her on a few asions when my father needed her help to deal with an enemy. That was


    before I became Alpha. I know her help won’t be cheap. I take a seat next to her at the bar and she


    turns to face me. “What is it that you want Mateo?” Her words freak me out at first, but I keep my


    expression even. “Simone, it’s good to see you again.” “I don’t do pleasantries. What do you want?” I


    tell her about what that b**ch Jasmine did and about them both running from my pack. Sheughs like I


    just told her the funniest joke. “So you expect me to get them back or locate them for you.”


    “Well, yes, I would like to get them both back as soon as possible.” “First, I’m sure you know that my


    services aren’t cheap. Second, I have to do a little research, let’s say, before I agree to any job.” “What


    the hell kind of research could you possibly do?” “That is none of your business. If I decide to take this


    job and that is a big, if, I will tell you my price then. Do you understand my rules?” I hate that I need


    anything from this arrogant witch, but they have left me with no choice. “Fine, when will you have your


    answer.” “I don’t work on your timeline. I will contact you if I decide to do this.” The bartender gets my


    attention asking about a drink and I wave him away. When I turn back she is gone. Goddess, I hate


    witches and their entric bulls*t.


    Calliope POV


    I can’t believe how happy my mother is here. She has been helping in the kitchen and with the pups. I


    know she wanted more pups of her own but it never happened. After I saw what my father was doing, I


    know why. I shake those thoughts away and head out to the field where training happens. When I first


    joined the men they were skeptical but over thest week they have epted me as a skilled fighter.


    Evan leads the training and honestly he does as good a job as Bradford. We train for an hour before I


    start back toward the cottage. I get that feeling again of being watched. This time I shift and Aurora


    takes a deep breath. We catch the scent of a wolf and she starts to stalk in the direction of the scent.


    We reach the trees just outside the cottage and the scent is getting stronger. A man I recognize as one


    of the collective members steps off from behind the tree. I shift and the shock on his face would be


    comical if I wasn’t so pissed. “What the hell are you doing spying on me?”
