“I just found you again,” Anna whimpers into my chest as I carry her from the ceremony. I knew Theo would play his hand soo, it was sort of obvious once we found out Theo was the one pulling Faye’s strings. I had a feeling he would attack tonight, he wouldn’t have been able to resist me making Anna Luna again, especially after all the fake Luna cra p Faye was spouting all the time. I wish I had the chance to make Anna official but as the old Luna and my mate she takes the spot of Luna anyway, the ceremony is more for the Pack so they can see the Alpha is happy and strong. I’ll plan a new one once this coward is out of our lives.
“Don’t worry, little wolf. It will be ok,” I whisper to her as I place her on our bed, I quickly climb in next to her and cradle her to me.
“You said I can’t leave you, well you can’t leave me either.” Anna leans herself up on an arm and looks me in the eye. “Promise me, promise you wont leave me.”
“I’m not going anywhere, Theo isn’t even a Beta on his best day. It will be over quickly and then that family will be out of our lives.” I cup Anna’s face and she closes her eyes before leaning into my touch and k*ssing the palm of my hand.
After a while Anna rolls off my chest as she falls asleep, this would usually be where I would roll over and tuck myself around her. Not tonight though, tonight I pull myself slowly from the bed and carefully walk across the room before slipping through the door silently. The house is deathly silent as I walk across the hall and open Thoma s’s door, I stand there for a while as I watch his little b*dy sleep. I soak in

the image of him sleeping peacefully as little moon’s from his night light cast around the room, he’s such a good kid. He will be a good Alpha, I just know it. Even now at his young age he commands a room but remembers to include everyone as I’ve been trying to teach him. Lizzie is in his little nursery group and he always makes sure she has the same toys, snacks and crayons as the other kids. Technically Lizzie isn’t Pack in the conventional sense so many would see her as a runt of the Pack. Not my son though, no he sees her as another member of our Pack.
“There so much I have to teach him, you’ll guide him for me if the worst happens?” I ask James as I close the door, I felt him come up behind me but I just needed those extra minutes to soak up my son.
“You’ll teach him yourself.” James slaps me on the shoulder as we start walking down the stairs. “Are you sure you want to do it this way?” I nod my head at James.
“Yeah, if this goes south I don’t want Anna seeing me die. Theo is strong, he’s an Alpha in his own right,” so I lied to my Luna to give her some peace, not the worst thing I’ve done in my life.
“You have youth and speed on him, he’s flabby and old, you can take him.” I stop when we get to the bottom of the stairs and turn to James.
“Promise me, you will watch over them? Keep them safe for me? Anna could be pregnant now, it’s too early for even me to know but if she is you will watch over that pup too? Guide them for me?” I can feel a lump in my throat as I ask James to basically take my place as Thomas’ s father.
“Your like a brother to me, you don’t even have to ask. I would do it anyway, they will want for nothing, but you will beat him.” James gives me a sad smile as he goes to walk past me but I stop him with a hand on his arm.

“I need you to know, Elder Thomas told me and Anna that,” I rub the back of my neck with my hand. “That same S** fated mates do exist and you have a mate out there, he’s out there James.” James eyes go wide for a second as he soaks up the information.
“Leon?” James asks me and I shake my head. “I didn’t think so. Well any mate better be prepared for me to bring a Luna and pups along, unless you want to get moving and beat this as s hole?” We leave the house in silence and don’t speak again until we are near the clearing in the trees. I stop for a minute and look at the Pack laid out behind me. Some of the houses have their lights off and some are still on, the Pack is settling down for the night with no idea that Alpha is about to fight. for his life.
“Rick?” I ask as we break the tree line.
“He’s with Darryl and Elder Thomas, making sure Theo doesn’t pull any funny business.” I nod at James as I start to pull my shirt over my head. I hand it to James who tucks it into the waistband of his jeans.
“If this does go our way but I’m hurt, make sure his sons are put in the cells until I can banish them.” James just nods at me as we draw closer to the clearing, “and keep an eye on Anna. We think the mate mark calmed Winter but we don’t know for sure.” As we walk through the last of the trees I see Elder Thomas standings in the middle of the clearing and Darryl, Mac and Rick standing off to the side. Theo is standing next to his two sons, Tray and Simon, all three are staring daggers at me, Tray is now sporting a bust nose and black eye. Guess dear old father has a way with his fists. “And you keep Mac from my mate.” I tell James, Mac must hear me because he coughs to cover up a laugh, he quickly stops when Darryl slaps him upside the head.
