Mack’s p.o.v.
I am in a meeting with our leadership when the guard at the gate mind–links me, “Maleah just drove across the border. She barely got out of her car when she shifted and took off into the forest.” I turn toward my Father and ask him if it is normal for a female to shift as fast as Malcah did, but he doesn’t seem to understand what I am talking about.
I explain what the guard told me, and I hear Dad mutter the word “Fuck.” When he does that, it means trouble.
“Make sure the Warriors keep an eye out for her, but they are not to approach her. If anyone shifts like that, it means their Wolf or Lycan is beyond pissed, and approaching her could cause severe injuries,” Dad says before walking out of the office. My best guess is that he is going to pay Diego a visit.
Every Pack–member arrived home yesterday–a tradition we have had for centuries–and it has everything to do with the Spring Ball. We want to know who has found his or her Mate, and if they haven’t, they get a chance to attend the Spring Ball.
So far, we only have two males and one female who want to attend the Spring Ball, and Ariel is helping them with their outfits. Maleah was the only one who wasn’t within our borders, but we knew where she was, and Dax knew she wouldn’t be attending the Ball because she had told him herself.
“Mack, can you go to the gate and get Maleah’s car? Diego doubts she will return there after her run, and I have to agree with him.” I hear Dad ask in my head, and after explaining it to Dominic, he tells me to take care of it.
When I step into Maleah’s car, I see that she has an incoming call, and Commander growls loudly in my head when we see her Mother’s name flash across the screen. Luckily, her phone is on silent, so it doesn’t bother me much.
I tell Diego about the three calls she received while I drove her car from the gate to their house, and he says it is best we ignore the calls. “She will probably think that Maleah is in a meeting. If one of us answers, she will know where Maleah is, and I doubt my Daughter wants her Mother to know that she is home,” Diego says. Dad and I both agree with him.
After driving Maleah’s car to her house, I walk back to the Pack–house, wondering what could have pissed off Maleah–or Fortune–so much. She doesn’t seem like the type to get pissed off at someone, but then again, I don’t know her that well.
Hell, there is a lot I don’t know about the female who has been haunting my dreams. Kay was the one to bring up the subject the other day–he couldn’t remember if he ever saw her, and for the life of me, neither
can I.
Dax pointed out that we probably didn’t notice her because we were too busy finding our Mates within the Pack. We had been nineteen when Alpha Max found out what her Mother had done to her, and a year later, we left the Pack to receive our training to take over from our Fathers.
We are her senior by eleven years, and that explains why we never paid her any attention–if we ever saw her, that is. Commander is still searching our memories to see if we ever noticed her.
“What is on your mind?” Dax asks the moment I walk into the office, and I ask what he is talking about. “I have been walking next to you for at least ten minutes, and you didn’t notice me,” he answers, and I look at him to see if he is trying to pull my leg, but he is being honest with me.

she has been calling non–stop. She also left a bunch of messages for Maleah,” I answer him.
“Do you think something might have happened in Albarr?” I ask Dax.

“I doubt Alpha Bradley would be stupid enough to try something. He knows I don’t trust him anywhere near Maleah, and for that reason, I doubt he was responsible for whatever caused her to be so angry,” he answers
- me.
For a moment, we just sit there, trying to figure out what could have caused her to become so angry that she barely had time to get out of her car before shifting into her Lycan.
Commander doesn’t like the fact that something pissed off Fortune that much. Several Warriors have mind- linked me so far, and each of them tells me that Fortune is still running around the territory, growling at every ìnale she sees–and it doesn’t matter how far away they are.
Dad walks into the office with Diego right behind him, and the look on Diego’s face tells me that he has never seen or heard about Maleah being this angry. But then again, he always thought she was Wolfless.
A Wolfless male or female can still become angry, but it will never be as bad as when that happens with a Wolf or a Lycan. I saw it happen during my years of training with the Council of Elders, and even though a pissed–off Wolfless male is no match for a pissed–off Wolf or Lycan, it was still an amazing sight to see because he turned out to be a lot stronger than anyone had suspected.
“Does anyone have an idea as to why Maleah is so damn pissed off?” Diego asks, but none of us can give him a satisfying answer.
“Rogues on our eastern border.” I hear one of our Warriors yell through our mind–link, and we all jump up as one to rush out of the office. “Mack, Maleah is nearby, and she doesn’t respond to the mind–link.” I hear another Warrior say through our mind–link.
Of course, she wouldn’t be able to hear our mind–link. If she never shifted into her Lycan in front of the Pack, I doubt anyone thought about initiating her into the Pack.
Commander forces the shift as soon as we have cleared the Pack–house, and he is demanding a moment–to- moment update on where the Rogues are and where Maleah is. He hates the thought of her getting into trouble.
Commander is a fast Lycan, but the way he is going right now is faster than I have ever seen him go before, and everything around us is a bit of a blur. What we hear next almost makes Commander trip over his own. legs.
“Mack, Maleah is turning toward the Rogues, and by the looks of it, I can tell that she is scaring the shit out of them, but they refuse to back down.” Another Warrior yells through the mind–link, and I hear a few mighty roars behind
- me.
A part of me is hoping that she will put those idiots back in their place, but an even bigger part of me just ̧ wants her to back off and leave it to those who are more capable of fighting a Rogue.
“I doubt she will do what you’re hoping for.” Commander growls in my head, and for some reason, I get this feeling that he is right–she’s probably capable of a lot more than we ever held possible.
I have always watched in awe when Diego was running around the training grounds, and right now, I am even more impressed because he can keep up with Commander, which isn’t an easy task. Our Alphas are right behind us, and even though they are Alpha Lycans, they have trouble keeping up with me and Diego.
