KESKA: After lunch was over and people started to disperse, Mackie and I began to help with cleaning up and getting the dishes into the kitchen. We made sure that the dishwasher stayed full and running until all the dishes were done, and helped with the logistics for the buffet set up for tonight. Mackie and I went out to the marquee to see how it was being set up so we could do up the diagram on where everything would go on the tables, the hot dishes vs the cold dishes, and the sweet desserts. After getting that done, we went to my room for a nap, we knew it was going to be a long night, at least mom and father were smart enough to make it a no casual hook ups before finding your actual mate, yes the Pack house is sound proofed but not every building was.

BARETT: After lunch was done, I approached the Alpha. “I would like to speak with you in private if I may.” “Of course, your highness, please come to my office.” I had received a second link from my brother to let me know that the other girl was Dutch’s mate. I follow him upstairs, and halfway down a hallway, he opens the interior door, and we walk into his office. Right away, I noticed the windows looked down on the garden we were in earlier. “Please have a seat.” He waves his hand at the chairs in front of his desk. I sit in the first one. “What may I do for you?” He asked me. “I would like to know how old the two girls are who came out of the, I believe it was the kitchen? With you are.” I said, “Ah, yes, Keska and her best friend Mackinze, Keska just turned 16, and I believe Mackie will turn 16 next month. Why do you ask?” “You know that we are Lycans, and as such, when we turn 18, we will know our mates when we meet them, no matter what their age is. Both girls are mates to my youngest brother and his best friend, Dutch. I just need to know how long they would have to wait before they could claim them.” I told him. He blanched visibly. “Two more years.” He says in almost a whisper. “Thank you. You needn’t worry, the boys will be perfect gentlemen with them. And they will wait, as I don’t believe that either one of them wants to deal with Marsh.” I tell him. “Who is Marsh?” he asked me. “Marsh is Lilly’s cousin twice removed, but he still knows the family secret of how to kill one of us, so he does get all the respect he deserves.” I tell him. He nods his head. “But I have taken enough of your time, I will go back to my room now and rest before the festivities tonight.” I see his eyes glaze over, and a knock comes at the door. “Stacy will show you back to your room, your highness.” I nod and leave his office and follow the omega.

BARETT: Once back in my room, I link my little brother. *“Trever, her name is Keska, the other one’s name is Mackinze, and you will have to wait two years, sorry little bro. Keska just turned 16, and Mackinze will turn 16 next month.” “Thank you for finding out for us. It’s going to suck but I guess there is nothing we can do about it unless he is willing to let her go early.” “I don’t think that is likely, he visibly blanched when I told him she was your mate. Get some rest, we will talk later.”* I close the link, strip out of my clothes, take a quick shower, and pass out.

JESSIE: I am giddy with anticipation. I know my mate is here, I keep getting whiffs of spice, like all the different spices that go into making a home-made pumpkin pie, it makes my mouth water. And I can’t wait to hear that they have that bratty bitch sister of mine locked up in the cabin. Everything is falling into place, and at the end of next week, I will be out of here and I will never have to see her again. YES!!

JAMES: I know my mate is here, with us being this close to turning 18, I can get whiffs of her scent, and I can feel my wolf actually starting to stir within me. I also know that Jessie is up to something. I am going to have to get with Dad and find out what all he has going on where she is concerned. I also feel like there is something different about Keska, too. I will have to ask him about that. But right now, I am just going to take a shower and sleep for a while, then when I get up, I will go talk to Dad. I am also thinking about who I will take as my Beta. I have a feeling that Star is going to be leaving, so I will need a Beta, maybe Mitch, he has proven himself worthy of the position, and he is loyal to the pack. Then I will put Frank in as head warrior, he deserves that honor as well. But sleep first, the rest will fall where it will.

JAMES: I am up by 5, and head to my dad’s office. I knock and wait for him to answer. “Come.” I hear him call, I open the door, walk in, and take a seat in front of his desk. “So, what’s the latest on the Jessie front?” I ask him. “Straight to the point, but I was expecting to have this conversation earlier, like Monday, earlier.” He says. “I know I’m a bit late to the dance.” I say, “But at least I showed up.” I tell him. “We put some pieces together, and we have Kirk and Rodney under surveillance, plus Dedi and Marla.” He tells me. “How about Keska, how is she doing, and does she know about Jessie?” I asked him. “There is a lot that is going on with Keska, what I am going to tell you stays here. Keska has her wolf, she is a hybrid, a cross between your grandfather, Rickard, and wolf. It was her wolf that killed Brent and Ronnie, I know this is news to you, as you didn’t know they were dead, but Jessie did, because Marla told her. I will fill you in on how she did it later. Yes, Keska has been made aware of things. We don’t have specifics, but we have people in place to catch them in the act if things should happen to go bad, and if you do notice something, I want you to link Darius. I don’t want you to interfere with anything. There is something else you need to know: Keska is the fated mate to the youngest prince, and Mackinze is mated to his best friend. I just hope we can catch them before anything bad happens to her. I don’t want a war with the royal family. I also hope we have enough evidence against Jessie when we do catch them that she will spend weeknights in the cells.” He says. “That seems a bit harsh, don’t you think?” I ask. “She seemed to think it was funny when Keska had to spend a week in the cells. let’s see how funny she thinks it is when she has to do it.” He says. I can’t argue with that. “You can tell Wyatt, but no one else.” He says to me. “Wow, nothing like dropping bombs left and right.” I say, shaking my head. He nods his head.
