Alpha Larkin Roche is sitting at a table when CM arrives. CM scans the room for the Alpha's warriors. He doesn't know exactly for the reason the Alpha requested a meeting. But he knows that it has something to do with Pandora. “Smug ass rogue” Alpha Larking mumbles looking at CM walking toward him and smirking. The Alpha doesn't give CM time to sit down. “I'll get right to the reason I'm here. I want my daughter and grandchild. It's up to you if you want a war. I don't have a problem with it.” CM shook his head, “Well Alpha me handing over my marked mate isn't going to happen. Pandora is my mate and I'm not leaving her side. The way I look at it you and I need to come up with a solution.” Larkin narrowed his eyes staring at the man, “Force mate, I'm sure. My daughter has some issues but mating with a rogue I would never believe she did that on her own freewheel. ” “Either way your daughter wears my mark. So, what are we going to do?” CM leans back in the chair “Flint, I'm not a
“Zeus is your grandfather?” Beauden looks at Wissy in disbelief. She nods, “Yes, he is.” Wisdom looks at her aunt, “What do you know about Mel Paradise? He knew who I was.” “Now that's a name from the past. Mel is Quelle's brother. He turned rogue after several bad mishaps. He loathes Carmine for what reason I have no idea. I think it was because of your mother. Mel thought Larisa should have stayed with her pack."“Oh, that's what he was trying to tell me.” Wisdom mumbles. He attacked the pack and was killed. I believe someone deceived him into attacking Fierce Growlers. When I find out who it was, I'll kill him or her.” Beauden is still processing that his mate is related to Zeus. He's thinking about how old Zeus would be if he were still alive. Also, it's too bad he’s not there to battle Lucius with them. Wisdom heard him through their link looks at him, “My grandfather's death has never been proven. Let's not forget he’s immortal and can’t ever die.” She looks at her aunt, “
After Wisdom, Beauden, Deshal, and Einar left Alpha Peyton he and Mazi agreed that the pack shouldn't know her true identity, at least not yet. Peyton and she agreed that the pack needs to train harder to be prepared for Lucius. Mazi reminds him that no man can touch the box without turning violent with a woman. Mazi tells him she needs a little time to herself so she can think. The real reason is she wants to contact her father. She hadn't spoken to or seen Zeus since the day Larisa told them she didn't want Wisdom to know who she was until she was grown, or they didn't have a choice. Zeus was furious about Wisdom being robbed of her birthright. Larisa allowed him to name Wisdom hoping that would calm him down. Zeus never appeared in front of Larisa or any of his family again. Peyton looks at his mate walking out the door to go to her garden. Then he exhales and looks at the stairs. “Might as well get this over with.” He isn't happy with his brother making an appearance, but he kne
Wisdom opens the jewelry box and chuckles as she’s looking at her mother’s jewelry. “I don’t believe this.” She walks over to one of the artwork boxes and rips it open. “This is the painting that was in my dining room.” “Girl, your clothes are in this one.” Idris is holding up one of Wisdom’s dresses. “Why would a person move my things out before burning my house down?” Wisdom looking between Carmine, and Beauden. Both men are looking confused. So she looks at Einar and Deshal, they’re also looking at her confused. Kiri walks over to her, “we’ll figure it out. At least you have your belongings and that’s the main thing. I’m just as confused as everyone else.” She picks up a picture of Carmine holding infant Wisdom. Kiri cut her eyes at Carmine, and then she hugged Wisdom. “Like everything else, it will be revealed soon. Right now, you have more important matters to tend to. Now tell us the reason you wanted to meet with us.” Quelle and Neven enter the room looking at the box
Deshal decided he would join Wisdom and Einer. He wants to be prepared for what’s coming even if he had promised Wisdom he’d stay with her daughter during the battle. Idris and Kiri left when Carmine and Beauden started planning to search for Whitman. Carmine wants to know the purpose of burning his Beanie’s house. Beauden just wants to kill the man. Chickpea seems to be the only one that can calm Beauden down. He cussed and threatened to whoop and beat Whitman almost an hour after Wisdom and Einer left to train. Efrem enters the room looking at all the boxes then he looks at Carmine confused. Carmine shakes his head, “don’t ask. Did you pick up the dumb ass?” “Yep, he’s in the dungeon.” Efrem is looking at Beauden talking about killing Whitman. “Father who's in the dungeon?” Beauden is burping Chickpea. Carmine tells him about the financial records at the bank that were leaked, and he wants to know if one of his pack members thought it was a good idea to betray them and for
The following morning Beauden and Chickpea served Wisdom breakfast in bed. He asked her to have dinner with him on the balcony. He saw that she was a little hesitant until he said they needed to discuss their daughter. When the three go downstairs they find Carmine and Efrem in the den. Carmine is talking about killing Boyd, Herb, and Maeve. Wisdom hugs him, “I wish I could go with you and kill that trull, but I might have to kill my aunt. That is unless you decide to let Maeve live so I can have the pleasure of executing her narrow ass.” She looks at Beauden, “It's a damn good thing you didn’t fuck her. If so, I’ll have to kill you also.” Wisdom tilts her head to the right, “I wonder if I inherited my grandfather's immortality. Now that’s something to think about. One damn thing for sure is that would be awesome as hell.” Idris and Deshal laugh looking at the dumbfounded expression on Beauden's face. Carmine and Efrem are staring at her. Neither one can believe how much she ha
Wisdom looked around at the Radiant Guardian pack as they drove toward a brick mansion. Einer is in the front passenger seat, he turns to look at Wisdom, “Remember what I taught you and stay focused regardless of what she says.” “Okay,” she’s looking at the pack members lined up on both sides of the driveway. “I don’t want a war. But if it comes down to it then a war it is.” Beauden pats her hand, “you got this. This is our Chickpea's birthright. She will have everything that's hers." Wisdom nods, “You’re damn right she will.” “That’s my Wissy, you deal with your aunt. Einer, Deshal and I will deal with anyone that interferes.” Beauden rubs her thigh. Wisdom looks at his hand but doesn’t say anything. Inside the house, Hestia is walking to the door when she hears, “So you're really going to go through with this bullshit?” She turns and smirks “Yes, and you and no one else can stop me.” She walks out of the house onto the porch looking at Wisdom stepping out of the Navigator
Pandora goes looking for her brother and hopes to reason with him to refuse their father regarding being the next Alpha. She never expected to find Jacy her ex-best friend and her brother making love when she burst into his bedroom. Pandora covers her eyes, “what in the hell are you two doing?” Zankou slides off Jacy, lays beside her, and wraps his arms around her, “Don’t enter our bedroom again without knocking. We were making love. Isn’t that one of the things mates do? "Mates, you two are mates. Stop talking bullshit.” Pandora slams the door and sits on the bed looking between Zankou and Jacy. “We’re true mates. Not that it's any of your damn business. I have my Luna and will be officially the Alpha in two weeks.” He kisses his mate's head. Pandora rolls her eyes at the couple. “A lot has happened since I left.” Jace noticed it, “what was the reason you rudely barged into our bedroom?” No reason, I came to spend some time with my brother.” Pandora walks toward the door. “
