“Becky?” I heard my beta say before my ga mma, Connor, was in my head.

“It's Luna.” I didn’t have time to think before Gunner shifted and took

off toward the mall.

“Where?” I demanded Connor through the link.

“North side.”

Gunner picked up his pace as he dodged traffic and leaped over parked cars. Pack members scattered when he'd raced by. Gunner was massive and scary as hell. Even more so when he wasworried about his mate. What the hell could have happened? I tried to reach her through the linkbut she wouldn't reply.

He crashed through the north doors and I could hear screaming before the scent of blood hit mynose. F uck, don't let her be hurt.

“Luna, I need you to calm down,” I heard Connor tell my mate before Gunner turned the corner andher beautiful wolf came into view. She was covered in blood as she gripped a man in her teeth andshook him. He was already dead. The store was painted in blood.

Connor tried to approach her and she dropped the b*dy to growl at my

gamma.

Without hesitation, Gunner rushed over to our mate and started to lick the blood off her muzzle. Lilywhimpered, before looking down and baring her teeth at the corpse. Gunner nuzzled her head withhis before

he continued to clean off the blood from her fur. Even covered in blood she was the most beautifulwolf.

“Alpha,” I looked up to see Becky holding on to her mate. “This way, she pointed towards the backof the store. Gunner pushed Lily to follow her and Luca. Becky opened a door to a washroom andGunner followed behind his mate. When the door finally closed I shifted back.

“Baby, shift,” I commanded, kneeling in front of Lily. As soon as she shifted back, n*ked and coveredin blood, she rushed to the toilet and threw up.

“Lily, why the hell would you do that?” she panted, in between retching. I sat on the floor beside herand rubbed her back.

“Baby, are you okay?” I mumbled against her bare shoulder when her stomach calmed down. Herb*dy was sticky with sweat and blood and she was trembling.

“He was there,” she exhaled. I watched her eyes fill with tears and I pulled her against my chestbefore she broke into sobs. I wanted to know more, but I kept my mouth shut and held my mate.“There's clothes outside the door. I have warriors clearing the mall, now.” Luca relyed.

“Find out who the man was. Ryley said he was there.” I ordered.

Once Ryley calmed down, I retrieved the clothes and helped her dress. While she rinsed her mouthout and cleaned up some of the blood, I pulled on the clothes that Luca had left for me. The onlydownside to shifting.

“That man was at the council, Blake. I remember him. Lily didn't give him a chance to do anything.She shifted and you know the rest,” she breathed out. I pulled her against my chest and wrappedmy arms around her.

“Let's get you home,” I k*ssed the top of her head. I can deal with this after I get my mate home safeand sound. I don't know what I was expecting today, but this wasn't it.

"Fucker is lucky Lily got to him first. I wouldn't have made it a quick death.” Gunner scoffed. Iagreed with my wolf. I would have enjoyed torturing that piece of shit.

I tugged her into my side as we walked out to the front of the store. Mostly everything had beencleaned up but the b*dy was still where Lily had left him, but a white sheet now covered him.

A phone began to ring and I looked to Luca who was speaking with Becky, who rushed over toRyley.

I watched as Luca kneeled beside the b*dy and removed the sheet. The ringing became louder andhe dug around in the man’s pockets to retrieve a phone. I let Becky console my mate while I walkedover to my beta and he handed me the phone, which I answered.

“Toby, is the job done?” a gravely male voice demanded.

“Toby was killed by Luna Orion,” I growled. “Know the Orion Pack is coming for you next.” Thephone went dead and I handed it to Luca, “replace the caller, that f ucker is from the council,” I pointedat the bloody mess of a corpse. He nodded.

“Your truck is waiting outside the north doors.”

I held out my hand for my mate and she rushed against my side. I wrapped my arm around herbefore leading her outside to my truck.

"How are you feeling? How's our baby?” I asked her when we were seated in the vehicle. I wasdebating taking her to the hospital to get checked out. I grabbed her hand and brought it to myI*ps before ripping out of the parking lot.

“I'm okay, Blake. Baby is fine but is giving me some morning sickness. It started when Becky and Iwere shopping. And then the blood,” she gagged before covering her mouth.

“I'm taking you to the hospital,” I told her.

“Blake, I'm fine,” she protested.

“I'm not taking any chances, baby. It was a stressful day and I'm sorry

for putting you through that. I promise I will replace out how cker

got into our pack. He shouldn't have been able to get close to you.” I k*ssed her hand again.

“It's not your fault and Lily handled it. I like being able to help with the pack. I like being a hands-onLuna, where the pack sees me. Now, they know not to mess with me,” she smiled.

“I would kill them all, baby.”
