Jaime POV

“Callum!” I yell for his attention after giving him a punch on his face. Training to stay in the game and on top of that, distracting myself as usual. I am so tired of having to do anything just to get that person out of my head.

‘If you would have waited on her, we would have been in a better state.’ Kai tells me with a growl at the end, as he moves to the back of my mind. I have been in celibacy for almost 3 years, that is except 2 months ago. It’s only 8pm in the night in our third training of the week.

‘Even if it’s true, we are better off with our chosen Luna, no point in being ashamed of having a good Luna.” I tell my wolf, surprised he answers, as I duck a kick and keep my defenses up. ‘It is wrong, she not mate.’ Are the only growling words he gives me.

I hold on to Callums leg and twist it to the side. I hit one head with another of two other warrior’s, I hate my wolf when he acts like that. We have a strong Luna, she has even made changes that made our ways of living so much stronger and more complete.

He should be proud of her and move on like me, but no. He is stuck on his old mate. The one who was pampered like a poodle, the one who acted like she owned everyone and handled it all like a- a. ‘Goddess? A Queen? Say it Jaime, you love her too.’ Kai says.

“Ou for the love of it all Kai, stop nagging at me over a stupid poodle!” I yell out as I hit the shoulder of one warrior with my fist, hearing its shoulder pop, “It's been 3 years for crying out loud! Grow up!” he growls in response, I need him but he clearly gives no importance to me.

“Kai still giving you a hard time?” Says Callum with a snicker on his face, I catch up my breath from my internal fight. “Daddy!” yells Cree, Callum’s 3 year old son, after he marked and mated Kilala she got pregnant and had Cree. Now they are waiting on another baby, a girl. He hugs Callums leg and smiles with giggles.

He picks his son up to hold on his hip, us being in speedo’s makes us look like men from those types of calendars. We prefer this over other types of clothes this way less clothes are shredded and humans never get their curiosity towards us, accidents can and have happened, specially towards hunters.

I get to the center where everyone else is fighting, I place a small green back on a warriors speedo, these have pockets that help us train. “Rundown!” The warriors take off trying to find who is the spy, the one with the green bag. I was about to run after them till I see the shoulders of Mykel leaning on the door with both his arms and legs cross.

“Callum, supervise for now. Seems our neighbor has felt like visiting”. I take my towel and get up the stairs. “Yes Alpha.” He takes off and his son run’s to the far side where his mom is, I stand in front of Mykel after cleaning up the sweat from my face I extend my hand at him.

“Seems your training is as harsh as ever.” He reply’s dryly. “We can’t all depend on grandpa for training.” I smirk at his annoyed face, he is almost always here and rarely in my pack house, always over seeing the building.

I should feel threatened but to be honest I have been searching in his own pack, he is very proud of how he guards his pack but I have send rogues to attack his pack and not one came back. So to be on fair grounds, I called the elders on these suspicions, he hated that.

Two years ago we had a conflict that almost got us in a war but we dropped it because he agreed in helping my pack after dating my mate for a year, ‘that is on you, you allowed him to date mate’ Kai throws at me, like I was already expecting that.

The dog has got one big fight against anything I do, but enough of that I need to see what he wants. Haven’t seen him for a year and 2 months. We enter the pack house, passing the rooms to get to my office, as soon as we arrive at my desk he starts.

“We need to make preparations to test the builded wall.” He says in a calm voice, jokes on him that I already did but I will surprise him with something else. “I agree.” I hit the intercom to the direct line to the elders.

“Goodnight Elder Howl, it has been a while. How have you been?’, I ask with a little relief, Mykel looks pale, good. I don’t know how he actually believes I am the Alpha to have him take me for a fool. He is up to something and I am not going to be used.

‘Well it’s been a stressful week for my family with the surprise of the orphan boy within the island and the other two young boys who lost their own homes.” I can hear his stress and anxiety about that, three children within a week to take responsibility for.

“If anything you or the council is in need of please inform me, I am sorry for interrupting you in these difficult times”. I say sincerely, any job of an Alpha is a hard one to take, we take our jobs as if it’s our own life.

“I was hoping to ask to be helped but if it is too much, would you kindly direct me to another elder that is not my uncle.” I ask firmly but respectfully, it is disrespectful for any Alpha to overuse power especially to the pack, my uncle is the first elder of the organization.

“It would be best to redirect you, Alpha Jaime, allow me to contact Pezi Miller, may I ask to what the call is for?’. He asks me with a curios but tired sigh and there is where I can see Mykel seething.

“I need a group of trackers to make sure the wall Alpha Mykel builded is safe for my pack, I have no intention of doing anything out of hate but my pack deserves to be safe just as his own, if not more.” I state with a firm voice in my petition. He takes a small pause and then hit the speaker button, I know because I heard another person breathing near him.

`` What do you say to that Pezi?”. He says with a small amusement to his tone, I sit on my chair that’s nice and cold, Mykel has his now fingers in his pants, having a death stare to my telephone as he too takes a seat.

‘Seems like a good idea, I will be there tomorrow morning to have the full details of it all, please invite Alpha Mykel over.” I smile at this choice of words, I see his face not moved at all making me curious on his answer.

“Hello Elder Pezi, it’s Mykel.” His answer makes the two elders mumble on the other side, clearly taken back by the sudden greetings, I have my hand on my cheek as the other is near the phone.

‘Hello Alpha Mykel, I trust you heard what is needed from this conversation?”. The look Mykel gave me said he took the shot and is skipping like a happy little girl all over my patio.

“Crystal clear Elder Pezi and Elder Howl”. He says holding back his growl, so close at giving me the idea that he is super happy to be in this. He presses between his bridge between his eyes in frustration, “We will see each other tomorrow then. Goodnight Alphas.” They hang up from their end.

Jaime POV

“Having a hard time there?” That comment snapped Mykel out of his thoughts, I press the button next to my calls and asked for an omega team to prepare two bedrooms one for Elder Pezi and the other for Mykel, ones I was assured it was taken cared of I stepped out of my chair. I walked out to the side where he was still sitting, his hand on mouth, eyes fixed on my phone and his other hand in his pocket.

“ Mykel, I am a good actor and even better Alpha, don’t worry too much about me and go get ready for your interview, see you tomorrow morning Alpha” I get off the side of the desk I was leaning on.

He says nothing, just gets up and walks out with a pace, I walk up to my house, I had the construction team of my pack do this, I have a very small pack but they are everything to me. I’m aiming to building up my pack, I need a good alliance but my human ambitions really did a number in that.

‘We can get mate, she can help us.’ Kai tells me knowing well I do not approve.

I open the door to my house after the hand print allows my entry, the house is all windows with the front having a dark gray color to help hold certain windows, my house is in a cave literally, the outs of it looks like a house stuck in the cave.

Ones in, there’s a stair case going downstairs where the pool, the guests with gaming area is and another one going upstairs where my bedroom with my office is, there’s extra two rooms for my future pups, my mates office as well as a mini kitchen, then there’s a direct line that heads to the main kitchen and living room, where there’s a fireplace out of stones.

The bottom bottom holds all my cars, the back is a clear beautiful view of the back forest, there’s a clearing then the entrance to the woods. My home is controlled by me, I can give access to others to enter or not, not even my current mate has access to the house.

Speaking of, where could she be. I go up to our room and as I open the door I see her sleeping in the bed, she is currently 2 months pregnant and I can’t wait to have my pup here.

‘She is not mate, that pup, I’m not sure.’ Kai rehearses his lines over and over again, never giving up on the idea that our chosen mate tricked him into going all the way with her.

‘At least we are having our pup you can’t deny me that old timer.’ I tell him as I pick some clothes to go to bed, I take a good time taking the dirt and sweat off my body, been training every week and I am so glad it’s Friday.

*BOOM*

The house starts to shake, I hold on to the tiles but slip and fall in the shower. ‘Callum! What is happening?!’ I mind link my Beta.

My chain of command is very tight and I don’t allow outsiders to talk to us like other Alphas do, I’m very protective of my companions.

‘The wall, it’s bombed it’s falling apart and Alpha, Rogues are heading this way! We are outnumbered! What do we do!?’ I can hear his panic and I can feel my own rising.

‘Get everyone to the bunkers, we need our warriors to defend the week, all omegas who don’t know how to fight, elders, children, pregnant women and those who are handicapped go in the bunkers, any she wolf that knows how to fight and any wolf as well goes to help our warriors, have the hospital ready for an attack.’ I mind link my beta.

‘On it!’ He cuts off the mind link and another shake goes in my house, I mind link my Gamma, he is the one who has the contacts of other packs who are our alliances.

‘Xandros, report to me this instant!’ I finish bathing and go out of the bathroom, I open the door and my mate is awake but puking in the small trash can, I go to hold her and rub circles on her back, I need to go and help my pack.

‘Yes Alpha? I’m contacting our neighbors for their support, so far we have the Paw Pack who will be here in 4 hours, the Silver Moon Pack in 6 hours along with the Red Moon, Moonstone and The Green Pack.’ Did my Gamma just said Green Pack?

I kiss my mates forehead and go to get my phone that’s in the bathroom when I feel something sharp from the back of my head, the last thing I saw was the bottles flying out, the cabinets opened up and stuff getting smashed on the floor.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

I try opening my eyes but close them instantly, the bright light of the room is piercing and it catches me off guard. My head hurts, as if someone hit me with a bat. I try again to open my eyes but I give up. Rather take my chances and rest.

‘Kai? Are you there? Talk to me old boy?’ I get no responses. I need to obtain my strength, my body doesn’t hurt just my ungrateful head. I need to stay sane. Whatever is going on might have to be put on hold, I close my eyes and turn to sleep after hearing the beeping my head was starting to hurt even more then it was.

My house was under lockdown and I remember that I had nobody in the house, my mate was sleeping then she was picking in the trash, what could have happened that I am now in this situation.

“Relax buddy, I have the pack secure with the help of the Elders, the other Alphas are getting here and Mykel is in the dungeons cellar till this mess is over, rest.” I hear Callum tell me and with that I rest, but what if my mate.

Susie POV

3 years before the attack on the pack, just arrived at the green pack.

I see Samie, or whoever this person is, take that dust away from me and my mom. I am so disoriented that I have no idea what to believe, I have no desire to feel anything. I just want to go and crawl under a bed and lay there till, god knows when. I stay quiet even though I know I should say what I feel, I should be angry, I should be a lot of things but I am just plain tired.

“Sue, sweety, how are you feeling?” My mom asks me as she tries to get near me, I haven’t been here in a really long time, I know where my room is so I just turn my heel and go to my room, I lock myself in it because I don’t want anyone. I just want to stay here and let everything consume me.

Why is it that anything I do to help, to be a better daughter, friend and even partner makes me live thru worse things, not even my own wolf wants me. I don’t even care to learn if she will ever come, I have lost all my hopes. I’m going to bench watch cold cases and eat like a pig. I need comfort and I know being in my room will give me that.

“Sue? Can I come in?” Samie asks from the out of my bedroom door, I change into my sweat pants and jacket hoodie shirt, I put on my bunny puffy socks, I let my hair free fully after that I slip under my covers, I start crying, I let it all out and from that I fall asleep, never answering her.

That went on for two more days, I need to stay here for a while longer is what I would have liked, I hear the door being knocked on and then it swings open. In comes my mom with Samie. I turn to face the wall of my room, under my covers.

“Susie, honey. You need to take a-” I cut her off, I hate when I am suffering and all I get is to be told what to do, no looking to comfort me, no asking me what topping I want, that makes me supper angry.

“No you need to leave me the hell alone, I don’t need to be told what to do or expect. Go to your mate and do it to him, leave me alone.” I say with tears going down, knowing strongly I don’t have a mate because I don’t have a wolf, I start to cry even harder.

“Susie, we need to tell you things are important but we can’t if you still feel this hurt, we don’t want to hurt you, your mom means well, it maybe difficult but we are here if you need us” that's all she tells me, I hear her take steps back and I can feel my mom do the same. I hear the door close and I am stuck again in the same place.

Three in the morning and I get out of bed to go to the kitchen to get some soda, pizza and then go back to watch horror movies, what I wasn’t expecting was bumping into someone.

“Auch, what’s the big idea in hitting me? Can’t you look in front of you?” I am annoyed at the big brut, it felt like I hit a person, when I look my embarrassed face starts to show.

“Same to you, can’t look with your eyes close Princess?” Comes an energized guy, he sounds agitated about this, I was simply walking and he came out of nowhere.

“Princess? Listen here I have had enough guys acting all Alpha on me. Get your sh** and get out of my sight.” I say with one hand on my hip and the other on my head rubbing the bridge of my nose, that was a hard hit.

“Susie right?” His voice tries to sound all hard and difficult to get, I hate guys that act like they can take it all and be like nothing. What is up with guys these days?

“That’s right and you are?” I say flat out and with no fu*** given.

“Neo, can’t believe you don’t even know the names of the people in your pack. We see all doomed.” Answer Neo a bit sour.

I walk to the nearest light switch, and as soon as I switch it on there’s a slim teenager, not all muscles but he looks good, he reminds me of Alpha Lame. Grate.

He moves to the side while I keep rubbing my nose, knowing everyone’s names of this pack. I am a horrible step daughter. I left to another’s pack and was in a relationship with another pack and I’m now back where I started.

“Look Ne-o, I get you have an issue with being a gentleman so I will just go.” My voice comes out with a yawn at the end, not even considering it’s freaking two in the morning.

“Oh no, I'm a gentleman but I am also no pushover. You can’t bump into others and act like a brat. Say you're sorry and I will let you go.” He steps in front of me, as I try to leave.

“Why? You bumped into me?” I say to him straight he is not that tall 5.09 tops, why is he being difficult?

“No” he crosses his hands on his bare chest. So I push myself to go behind him. He holds me in place.

“Why are you having such a difficult time just doing something so simple?”

He tilts his head and raises his eyebrows at me. Are you for real?

“Let go of me or I will scream!” I say a bit louder than I was intending but I’m so drained I just want to go to bed again after stuffing myself from food, I wasn’t aware I started crying again.

“Hey hey hey, no crying. Look, all I was asking was for a small apology, geese you big baby get out of my sight then, see if I care if you get in trouble.” He lets go of me and I speed to the kitchen, jerk.
