ATTICUS POV "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you," Karina asks and our eyes drop to her stomach for half a second before we meet her eyes again. We shake our head. Even if she wasn't pregnant it would still be too dangerous for her to return to Outcast with us, but now with her being pregnant... No. Absolutely not happening. We barely trust them to allow us to visit safely. "Logan and his Beta Gavin will be accompanying me. If the humans try anything I will handle them. They believe their silver weapons make them invincible. They aren't aware they have very little effect on me," we reply with a little chest puffing to impress our pregnant mate. Her lips tilt into a little grin before she rises to her toes. She gives our lips a quick peck and our heart squeezes in our chest. Our love for her is now painful at times. She is our biggest weakness and our greatest blessing. If anything were to happen to her now we would go insane. She is our world. When our pup is born w

ATTICUS POVWe stand as the train finally begins to slow. Many of the buildings that were smoking and falling down the last time we were here have been leveled, but the rest of Outcast seems the same as it was. Tall gleaming buildings and concrete pathways connecting them for miles."Atticus, what's the plan if they become hostile," Logan says as he and Gavin move to stand on either side of us."I will attack. The two of you will shift and get out as fast as you can. I will do my best to ensure you escape," we reply in a low voice while keeping our eyes trained on the passing scenery."What about you," Gavin says quickly and we glance at the well-tempered Beta.His bond with his Alpha is the strongest we have ever seen. He treats Logan more like a brother rather than a superior, but at this moment he seems legitimately concerned for our well-being. His concern isn't for his Alpha or even for himself. He is taken aback by the danger we will be in... Seems we have another friend."I will

ATTICUS POV The male with the treaty hands it to his leader and the leader glances at the thick bundle before looking at us again. "Could we not sit to do this. I mean it looks like it will take us a while to go through all of this," he asks and we smirk to hide our annoyance. "You mean like we planned to do," we state lowly with the sarcastic smirk still on our face. Gavin chuckles a little and Logan steps closer to our side. "Sir, you broke the rules of this meeting. We are aware that you are all new to treaties and preventing war, but we are not. Werewolves have existed since the beginning of time. Treaties aren't new to us. You need to understand that if you step over the line one more time we will be forced to act. You have disconnected my wolf spirit and my Beta's wolf spirit from our physical bodies. In the wolf world that is a crime. I would suggest you stop complaining and begin reading," Logan says in a diplomatic but firm voice. We raise our chin and cross our arms

ATTICUS POV The last male human closes the folder and nods toward his kinsmen. Gavin takes a pen from his dress shirt pocket and rolls it across the table. "All of you will sign. I want it known that the agreement was signed by all of you," we say rather quietly, and the men hold our eyes for a moment before beginning to sign. They pass it to one another without uttering a word and when it is done the folder and pen are passed toward us. "We will get a copy made and have it sent back to you," Logan says as he gathers the items and tucks them out of sight. "Fine. Now what," one of the males ask and we study him before answering. He is one of the males that held a silver spray bottle. He isn't the one we want as a leader. Matter of fact none of them seem perfect for the role. Maybe..."I wish to go over how you will choose to run Outcast," we say answering the male's question, and his jaw clenches. "Isn't that up to us," he replies and we grin. He is trying to keep his to

KARINA POVI squeal with happiness just after I press end call. Joy for my friend and her mate explode in my heart. Logan said the delivery of their male had gone smoothly and Chloe didn't have to labor for too long before he was here. "Atticus," I call as I jog down the hallway toward his office. When I reach the door I throw it open with unnecessary force. The doorknob knocks into the wall leaving a small dent, but I ignore it. "Chloe had the baby. 8lbs and 2oz. They haven't picked a name. He is here," I say excitedly as my mate looks up at me in surprise. His shocked face quickly shifts into a smile and he pushes away from his desk a little. He holds his arms up toward me and I smile. "That's good. Is she the one who called," he asks as I move around his desk to sit in his lap. "No. It was Logan. He said they are expecting us to come visit them before we go tour the progress up North," I answer while running my fingers through his short facial hair. I like the new bear

ATTICUS POV Unease fills our gut as we sit with the exhausted-looking father and our attention drifts toward the open office door. Karina's scent is still strong. We can faintly hear Chloe as she talks to her, but still, the feeling in our gut worries us. "I have told him he needs to take a break," Gavin says and our eyes flick back toward Logan. His worn face does nothing to hide his annoyance with his beta. "I am fine. Chloe deserves rest. I am okay," Logan snaps and we glance toward the wall behind him. A picture of Patrick with his beta Hank from their teenage years smiles back at us. Curiosity and sympathy for the young Alpha joins our inner turmoil. "You named your son after your father," we say quietly and the two males go silent as they follow our line of sight to the picture."Yeah. He was a great... male," Logan says stumbling a little."He was. He wasn't perfect. But he was a great leader and a good Father," we reply and the room goes quiet as we all look at the
