Chapter 342
“Actually, I think Dutton is going to ask Alpha Ezra if we can stay in his pack, your pack. It’s closer to our old pack and he can run some patrols from there to see if he can find out anything a all. Tam and I both think that if we’re there, someone who would be unwilling to talk to Dutton might talk to us,” Tiffany says.
“What are you planning to do if you find out she’s still being held hostage?” I ask them.
They both look around again and once again, we all lean in closer.
“We’re going to kidnap her and bring her with us. At least here we can keep her safe.”
No wonder they’re being quiet about it. Kidnapping an Alpha female from her father is a huge deal. It’s the kind of thing that starts pack wars.
“Has Dutton talked to our mates about this?” Nikki asks, frowning.
“I don’t think so. I think he’s hoping to not involve the alliance members in this so that you can all claim ignorance if something goes wrong and it goes to trial,” Tiffany says.
“You two are risking an awful lot, you realize that?” Letti says.
“She sacrificed herself for us. We owe her a chance to have the same life we have,” Tammi says definitively.
When our mates walk up, we change the conversation. I’m worried about my friends, but I understand the desire to help their friend. If I was in their position, I’m sure I’d have asked Hunter to do the same. And knowing my mate, I’m sure he would have.
We stayed one more night and while I knew that Jocelyn was planning to stay for her next surgery, I hadn’t considered that she’d be a good Beta for my sister. But once Amelia asked her about it though, I’d realized that the two of them could make a powerful team. Both are strong. like-minded women who already seem to respect each other.
Over the next week, I become more and more uncomfortable, Hunt continuing to grow quickly and staying very active. I love feeling him moving around. That way I know that he’s healthy, but it’s not at all comfortable for me, even as an Alpha female. I spend most of my time in the nursery getting the last little things ready for him to arrive and more than once. Hunter has found me asleep in the rocking chair.

Chapter 342
11 282 As excited as I am for Lucas and Kinsley to hopefully win their pack, I’ll be thankful when this and Zahn’s trial are over, and I can relax at home and wait for this little one to arrive
Lucas
Today is the day. Well, the next two days are the days where I will truly see if I have what it take to become an Alpha. Hunter has faith in me. Sophie has faith in me. And my mate has faith in m I can’t let any of them down.
When I’d first walked Alaric’s pack lands, I hadn’t seen the devastation or the amount of time it would take to rebuild what was broken in the pack. What I’d seen was opportunity. The opportunity to make something great out of what Alaric left.
Based on what I’d seen in Owen’s lands, this pack is in better shape overall, but it’s nothing like Hunter’s and Sophie’s pack. And while these pack lands are smaller than Hunter’s. I think I can make something great out of this area. No, I KNOW I can make something great here. A place that is better for the people who used to live here and a place that is better for my son to take over one day when it’s his turn to become an Alpha.
An Alpha. I never thought I’d say that about my son, but once the idea took hold in my head. I couldn’t let it go. If Kins hadn’t agreed with me, if she hadn’t been one hundred percent engaged in this process. I would have walked away. She is too important to me to risk our relationship. I’ve worked way too hard to build what we now have together for me to throw it away for a title. I’m happy as Hunter’s Beta. Hunter’s a good Alpha and I’m a good Beta. The pack respects both of us and it shows.
