“That is a beautiful name,”

Stella said, and I can feel Emerald in my mind happily wagging her tail at the compliment.

“I guess I like the color of that blue and green color water in the Caribbean. I have seen a lot of pictures of it in books and magazines and there is something so calming about it. It is just beautiful and so clear it lets you can see so far down. I don’t know the name of it, but that is the color I like the best”

I told her.

Stella continues on with her questions only stopping because I fell asleep on her. I am exhausted. Stella told me about her high school, the boy that she has a crush on, the girls she doesn’t like at school, and the fake girls that hang out with her brother and Carter because they want to be chosen to be their mates. I finally just fell asleep on her. I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. I needed some good rest, maybe tomorrow will be better than I think it will. I will give it a chance. I can always just see how it goes, I might be able to learn a new trade here, one that can benefit me if I do have to leave. I fall asleep to new possibilities on the horizon and a more positive outlook for me. No matter what, right now I am in a better place than I was, I just hope it all ends up working out for me.

Alpha Cole Walker

Getting a call at 6 am from my Beta letting me know that a problem had arisen in the pack, woke me up quickly. Timothy doesn’t panic. He always deals with the problems and rarely calls me for anything that wasn’t really serious. I was already fully awake as I got up from the bed, I didn’t want to wake Olivia up.

“Hang on a minute while I go into the hallway, Timothy,”

I asked him quietly as I crossed the room. We were not going to get up until around 8 am this morning, as we would be leaving here around noon. We were about a six-hour flight away from the pack right now, and I had planned on not rushing and getting back to Blood Walker tonight. We had flown in to visit my wife’s family in Minnesota. Our oldest son had just turned 18 last week, and his grandparents wanted to celebrate his birthday, and let him check and see if his mate might be in their pack. He was disappointed that he had not found her yet, and he made sure that he spoke to all the unmated wolves.

I had drilled into him how important it was to be with his true mate. My wife as well. Carter, and our younger son, Austin, were both aware that their father, and mother, and both been rejected by their true mates. They didn’t believe it at first. We are both very attractive, but she was rejected because he had been dating his

“girlfriend”

for the last 4 years and wanted her instead. The girlfriend was pregnant with his child at the time, so he rejected Olivia very quickly over it. A few months later he found out that the pup was not his, and tried to get her back, but she was with me by that time. His loss is my gain. I was rejected because I had overextended myself as I was expanding my pack house and was broke at the time. Not broke, but I took my budget seriously and I need the pack funds to stay at the proper levels. I didn’t want to overextend with the expansion. She immediately asked for a new car a Mercedes SUV, and a new wardrobe. Which was fine, but I told her she was going to have to wait to get them. I meant a month or two but didn’t specify that, as I never expected her to be picked up by another Alpha in the five minutes I had stepped out of the venue.

Apparently, my idiot mate, thought that I was going to continue to be broke and wanted someone who could take care of her better than me, and Graham just happened to show up to sweep her off her feet. I should have thanked him for doing it though. Someone that shallow and greedy is not someone that I want to be tied to for the rest of my life. I just couldn’t believe that she would sleep with me, then allow Graham to sweep in and steal my mate right out from under me. Almost quite literally. I mean we had just slept together. I still remember the pain of it, of my mate being marked by someone else while we still had the bond. She didn’t reject me first which is what is supposed to happen. The laws are in place for a reason, because something like that could kill a weaker wolf. They were sneaky and did it in the most painful way that they could, so it couldn’t be reversed. I was actually glad that the trash took itself out with them doing that. I ended up getting Olivia out of the deal, and she is wonderful.

I didn’t hate them anymore, they just both disgusted me. They are still together, so I guess they do care for each other. I stay away from their pack, and they stay away from mine. My only worry was for my offspring. I have worried about that for years. We were true mates, and we went at it twice in a row. I was pretty sure that I had gotten her pregnant. That was the only thing that I had asked of them, was for my child. That if she was pregnant with my child, I wanted to raise them myself. But I have only seen that little blonde she-devil they had. They had twins, but no one would tell us what the other twin looked like. I was worried for years, and then we heard that the other twin had been killed in some kind of accident. But it has been over 18 years, no one had ever seen any trace of the other twin in all 18 years. It was like she was a ghost.

“What’s up, Timothy?”

I asked him in a low tone. I didn’t want to wake everyone up, so I was trying to be quiet.

“I didn’t want to call you when it happened this morning, I tried to let you sleep, but this was really important. We had an issue at the border with Silver Blade. I don’t want to tell you all of the details over the phone. I need you to just stay calm and come back as soon as you can. We are handling everything, but long story short I threatened to kill Alpha Sullivan, and Cole, I really wanted to. Our worst fears for the last 18 years were true”

I heard Timothy say, and I dropped my phone on the floor and had to grab the wall to catch myself in shock. I can hear Timothy calling out to me from my phone, as rage sears right through me. Those bastards. I warned them both, I told them if she was pregnant with my child to turn them over to me, and they dare to hold them from me, for 18 years. I will kill them both. I am breathing hard, and cannot catch my breath. I heard the door to my room open, and then I feel my mate’s calming touch. I cannot speak to her, but she knows whatever the problem is, that it is indeed a pretty big problem.

Olivia leans down after she gets me calm and picked up my phone. I couldn’t speak so she speaks to Timothy. Once Timothy called Olivia’s name out in their conversation, I knew that Amanda relieved him of the phone. I see her eyes fly up to mine. I watched her eyes fill with tears as she listens to what Amanda is telling her. I can’t make out exactly what Amanda is telling her, but I know it is bad. My Luna is a strong woman. For her to be reacting like this, she is trying to keep me from losing control and tearing the place up. I feel the tingles on my back as she gives me a hug and rubs my back to keep me calm. I see her eyes go to flint, and I know that it is time to get back and head back now, as I heard Olivia tell Amanda that we would be there as soon as we could. I told her to go ahead and start packing, and I went to go wake up our boys.
