Unknown POV

“Lily, was everything ok with that woman you took upstairs?” “Honestly, I’m not sure.” “You were here when she came in, I know as much as you do right now.” “She didn’t say anything but I get the feeling there is definitely a story there.” “I hope I’m wrong because I’m sure you noticed she’s pregnant.” “Do you think she is running from the father, maybe he was hurting her?” “I don’t know but I’m going to bring her some food after my shift is over.” “After all you did for me it’s only right, I pay if forward.” “Lily, just be careful.” “Everyone isn’t as kind as you are and looks can sometimes be deceiving.” “I’m a pretty good judge of character” she says as she punches my arm.

Amelia POV

that I’m not in my pack with my family. I forget that I’m not in my bed. When I remember all the things, I wish I could forget, my heart starts to race. He can’t have already found me. Who else would be knocking on the door? I don’t know anyone here. I breathe in deep expecting his scent to invade my nose but it doesn’t. The knocking comes again but this time a female voice follows. “Julia, it’s Lily” she says and I take a few deep breaths to slow my heart rate before I get up to open the door. When I open the door, she is smiling and has a cart with food on it. “I brought you dinner.” “I didn’t order any dinner.” “I know you didn’t, but I thought maybe you and the baby would be hungry.” I smile at her kindness. I step aside and she pushes the cart into the room. She sets up everything on the table and takes a seat. I’m sure she notices the confused look on my face. “Come on and sit down.” “I’m off work and I’m starving.” I go over and take a seat next to her. She uncovers

“Why are you being so nice to a stranger, Lily?” She smiles “when I moved to this town, I didn’t know anyone.” “Some of the locals were kind to me and this is a chance for me to pay it forward.” “Besides, you look like you could use a friend.” I nod and keep eating. “Was he abusive?” I almost choke on the bite of burger in my mouth. I take a drink and clear my throat. “What are

so how long are you going to be staying in town?” I laugh “you have a lot of questions.” “Sorry I don’t mean to be nosey but I am.” “Well, at least you’re honest.” “I plan on staying for a while.” “Now I just need to find a job and a place to stay that’s not a hotel.” She smiles “if you don’t mind being a hostess the restaurant in the hotel is looking for one and my apartment building has some vacancies.” “Are you kidding Lily, I don’t mind doing anything.” “It’s late now but we can go look at the apartments tomorrow if you want.” “Absolutely, what do I have to do for the job?” “Nothing I’m the manager and I’ll talk to the restaurant tomorrow.” “You can start your first shift after we get you situated in your apartment.” Lily stands

see one.” “I have many gifts and detecting super naturals is one of them.” “Did anyone come with her into town?” “No, she is alone but she is pregnant.” “Why would a pregnant she-wolf leave her pack?” “I’m not sure but I will keep an eye on her and report back if I feel she is a threat to the pack.” “I don’t think she is based on everything I’ve seen.” “Very good, I will be sending out trackers to make sure that no one else is near the territory or outside the human city.” “Looks can be deceiving so you just keep watching.” “Yes, Alpha Lincoln” I say before the line goes dead. I owe Lincoln everything.

Atlas POV

feel her. The trackers haven’t been able to find her in any of the surrounding human cities. I have spoken with several of the surrounding Alpha’s. Besides their condolences, they have given me nothing. A knock sounds on the office door and Neal comes in. “Alpha, we are ready for your brother’s burial and your ceremony.” “We have burned the traitorous b**ch’s body as you ordered.” “Give me a few more minutes to compose myself Neal and I will be down.” He bares his neck to me and closes the door behind himself. I sit back in my chair. “Silas, are you ready to become the Alpha we should have always been?” “It’s the only reason I haven’t left your pathetic a**.” “Mark my words though, Atlas.” “If you do not get Amelia back you will be an Alpha without a wolf.” “Calm

the warrior’s section of the pack cemetery. Everyone has gathered from the pack and I go to stand next to Neal. Elder Thomas arrived last night after we contacted him about Elias’s murder. He will be providing both the funeral and the Alpha ceremony. He starts to go on and on about the leader that Elias was to our pack. I tune him out hoping he won’t be long winded. Elder Thomas saying my name brings me out of my thoughts. “Atlas, I know how hard this must be but would you like to say some words about your brother.” “Yes, Elder Thomas, thank you.” I look at the pack members as I speak. “My brother gave everything to this pack as a great Alpha does.” “He loved each and every one of you.” “This pack was his life.” “I hope I will be an even better Alpha because I got to learn from the best.” “Rest in peace, my brother.” Neal lays his hand on my shoulder offering me support. They lower Elias into the ground and I wait to throw the first shovel of dirt on his casket. The pack members come to me one

my brother’s blood. “Atlas Andrew Canfield make your vow to the Darkmoon pack.” “I, Atlas Andrew Canfield, will put the pack needs above my own.” “I vow to lead with fairness and strength.” “I vow to be the Alpha this pack deserves.” He hands me the Chalice and I drink. I immediately feel the link with all the pack members. It’s overwhelming at first, but I put blocks up and gain control. I feel an overwhelming sense of power. Even the presence of my wolf is different. The pack bares their necks to me before we all shift. “Darkmoon Pack I present to you Alpha Atlas Canfield.” I lead a pack run and Silas is in his glory. When we return from the run, I shift and pull my clothes back on. The Elder is waiting for me to discuss Amelia. He has offered his help to find her and, since he believes that Freya was lying about
