CHAPTER 66
-Alden’s POV-
“Gabby””””
I sighost and dragged my hand over my face.
“What just happened to you?
“Yeah you disappeared for a second. Did you get a mind link:
“Yeah,” I said and hung my head. I didn’t know whether or not to tell them who it was from though.
“Are you gonna tell us? 1 looked up at them and watched their suspicious faces.
“We’re mated, the mind link still works,” I said. Guess I decided to tell them. Keeping secrets would just blow up in my face and we had too much going on already. Nicks eyes rose and Edmund’s face was turning red. I could talk to their sister and they couldn’t.
“Well f*cking hell, good for you.” Edmund spat.
“Ed, calm down.” Nick gritted…
“Okes seriously, what’s our plan?” Cassy said and tossed her arms in the air.
She wasn’t even healed completely yet but still, she was ready to fight Asher.
Word had gotten around about Gabby’s departure from the pack. Everyone thought she had left willingly, nobody knew the truth and it felt like everything I said to them lately was a lie. All to keep them from hurting. But who was I to decide that? She was their Luna and she was gone. They had lost her too.
“Inform the pack members about our situation. Tell them everythin
I mind-linked the warriors. It would be their job to let the word out and then my job to pick up the pieces.
“We’ll go there alone and bring her back and kill that Asher m*therf*cker.” Noah said.
“No.” They looked at me all pumped up ready to go on a killing spre
“We’ll all go. We’ll bring the fight to him but not yet.” I said that last part with a heavy heart. Had it been up to me we would ve
already been on the road.
But there was still one loose end that could ruin everything and cause even more damage than had already been made,
“Aiden you can’t do this,” Cassy said with a deep frown, I had told them my plan and it would work but she was right to be worried.
“What if Gabby finds out?” She said.
“It won’t mutter, none of this will matter unless we get her back in one piece and the only other person besides my brother that could prevent that right now is Sam.”
She strutted into the house with her heels clicking against the floor. Her dress was riding up and her hair had been curled and hung
down to her waist.

CHAPTER 66
Sam stopped in front of me. Gabby’s brothers were standing behind me and Cassy had left. She scoffed and shook her head in disappointment before walking past Sam.
“You called for me?” She said and leaned her head back, trying to look seductive.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard but Gabby’s gone,” I said and searched her eyes.
varm.
“Ah yes, what a shame. I was starting to like her. How are you holding up?” She asked and started stroking my
“It’s hard, but I guess it’s for the best. I mean no one made her lease, right,” I said and shrugged my shoulders,
“Right, maybe she was looking for something else. Not everyone appreciates what’s right in front of them,” she purred. I smirked and nodded my head.
“You’re right. And the reason for why I wanted to see you” I stepped to the side and Edmund stepped forth.
–This is Edmund Santino, Gabriella’s brother. He would like for you to show him around the pack.”
Sam looked past me and onto Edmund. Her brows furrowed and her befuddled face didn’t understand why I wasn’t locking her down in my bedroom and f*cking her brains out. That’s the way she thought it would go. Gabby would leave, and I would choose Sam, and then make her my Luna.
Edmund stepped closer and pulled his hands out of his pockets. He reached out his hand and smoldered.
“Nice to meet you. I like your dress,” he said and gazed down her bare legs.
I saw the hairs on her arms rise and there was a flicker of wonder in her eyes.
“Sure but I think Aiden needs me. It’s a tough time right now, I’m sure you understand,” She said and stepped back but Edmund held her hand and stepped with her.
“I think he’ll manage.” He whispered. The guy had been here for a few weeks and already managed to sleep his way through half of the she-wolves in my pack. Anyone of these girls would fall on his tale.
They took off. Sam threw a quick glance over her shoulder as Edmund pulled her after him. In a few moments, he’d have her bent over a rock in the woods and humping her brains out as he so eloquently put it himself.
“Do you really think this is going to work?” Nick asked with a raised brow and an amused look.
“Oh I really do.”
A few hours had passed. Cassy came stomping into the house after she had spent the day with her family. She was looking at me with a deep frown and I put the glass of scotch down and prepared myself for the lashing. The crease on her forehead was growing deeper and her nose was wrinkled.
“Did you do it?” She asked and crossed her arms over her chest.
She was tapping her foot with her hip stuck out to the side and biting her inner cheek. Her eyes were incredibly wide and the longer I walted for the answer the faster her foot started tapping.
“Oh god woman would you please stop tapping! You’re like a rabbit trying to warn his buddies under the ground!” Noah said.
“Well?”
“I did.” She puffed out a breath and looked at me with a shocked face.

CHAPTER 66
“I cannot believe you did if I grabbed Cassy’s shoulder and stepped closer.
“Would you relax? Everything will be okay. Edmund is out with Sam and with a little luck-”
“Luck has nothing to do with it, bro. Picked, licked, and di-
“Edmund!” Nick scolded.
He wiped his lips and smiled widely and proudly as he pulled off his jacket.
“Sorry, I thought you’d like details. That girl is mighty flexible,” Cassy made a gagging sound and covered her mouth with her hand.
“I’m gonna throw up.” She said behind her hand.
Edmund laughed and walked over to pour himself a drink.
“You succeeded huh?”I asked. Edmund turned around and dropped his hand, swirling around
and, swirling around the drink in the glass.
“It was never a question of if it would work- but rather a question of how long it would take until she pulled her dress up for me. This could be seen as a personal record BUT you do have some very loose girls in this pack. Oh well, I’ll take it as a win,” He said and shrugged his shoulder.
“And what is Gabby going to say when she finds out that her brother slept with the girl that tried to kill her, on multiple occasions?” Edmund walked to Cassidy and raised his glass.
to find out?” He said and hummed at her with the glass pulling to his lips. Cassy scoffed and shook her head.
“Who says she has to find
She had healed completely by now. Cassy looked as good as new which also meant she had the strength to stand up against the men. Which she did. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for Gabby and I did love her for that. Seeing the loyalty and respect Cassy had for my mate, reminded me of the friend I lost a long time ago. I let go of probably the most genuine friend I had ever had.
Cassy through me a glance and I shook my head to clear the thoughts away, then I shrugged my shoulders and tossed my head to
Edmund.
Not long after Edmund had walked in, Sam fumbled into the room with disheveled hair and her skirt riding up her *ss with every
step.
“Oh, Uhm, hi,” she said and wiped her lips when she saw the rest of us. Cassy stood in a strong stance with her arms crossed over her chest. Noah was trying hard to hide a smirk and Nick was standing as stale as ever looking with emotionless eyes at his brother’s latest conquest. And one of his sister’s biggest tormentors.
I couldn’t help but find it amusing. My own grin was desperately pulled down because I knew that this was just the beginning.
“Edmund, do you want to meet up later?” She purred and batted her eyelashes.
“I’ll check and see if I have time. He said, playing hard to get.
Sam smiled and then turned to me.
“If you ever feel lonely, you know where to find me,” She cooed and pressed her hand softly against my chest. I clenched my jaw and took a deep breath to calm my wolf.
Edmund Tooked between us and stepped closer.
“Hey that friend of yours, the hot one, Amanda, does she have a mate?” He asked and slowly took a sip from his drink. Sam’s jaw clicked and her eyes turned black.

CHAPTER 66
In her head, there were no other options.
“She’s not available- She said and turned to him, suddenly even more interested.
-but
1 am.”
“Hmm,” Edmund said and nodded his head.
He wrapped his hand around the back of her head and pulled in her swiftly, slamming his lips down on hers. He opened his eyes and
they locked with Cassy’s.
She gagged again and I choked a laugh.
Edmund pulled hack and finished his glass. He looked at me, Nick, and Noah and bowed his head. He grabbed her hand and pulled her with him out of the room and up the stairs.
“Game on,” I groaned in amusement.
