Seven years later

Stella P.O.V

it was December the snow was quick to fall covering the ground in thick layers of white some spots harder than others and I smiled as I watched my Luna yet again get stuck in the snow that had malted slightly leaving her up to her waist in it.

Cole was off to the pack across the boarder needing to talk to the Alpha there about renewing a treaty of some sorts leaving his beta in charge of the pack and Trevor was busy in training the pack leaving me to watch my Luna giving me clear strict instructions to keep her safe, he was due home in a few minutes.

Nikki wanted no, pleaded to wait for him and to assure she kept warm I wrapped her up tightly in a scarf boots socks jacket and thick pants to put it all simply she looked like a marsh mellow. She made whining noises as a sign for help which got my wolf agitated as her Luna made the noise causing me to move quickly towards her for the hundredth time my boots making deep holes in the soft snow.

She held her arms up and I lifted her out of the snow setting her down in the shallower parts she smiled again then looked behind me and smiled wider I felt a body behind me power radiated from it and I smiled

“Alpha,” I said teasingly bowing my head he nudged me aside and I stepped back and watched him greet his mate.

Cole P.O.V

My wolf Roy was more than just excited to go home even though we had only been away for a few hours that was a few hours too long for his liking he ran ahead of the warriors almost slipping on the harder snow and when he saw the packhouse he slowed to a trot his tail wagging. then it began to wag impossibly harder as he saw my sister and his mate.

He nudged Amy as he came up beside her handing control back to me. my sister bowed her head her voice teasing she knew what she was doing

“Alpha,” she said

I huffed nudging her out of the way to greet my mate who looked more than warm in her jacket gloves beanie and boots I was obsessing so much over my little mate that I forgot to make sure that she was safe which was my first and last mistake. A growl cut through the silence that was once filled with her giggles and my happy whines I sniffed the air and smelt the stale and uncomfortable smell of Rouge’s I growled back as the large wolf come out from the tree line along with three others

‘where are the guards?’ I growled to myself and at them standing in front of my mate mind linking my sister

“Take Nikki” inside I told her feNikking my mate’s hands grab at my fur.

“come to Luna” I heard Amy whisper as I growled again. The three smaller rouges back down a little but the wolf in the middle who was a few inches bigger growled giving back their purpose. I made sure to dispatch them quickly.

Nikki P.O.V

“Come on Luna,” Sella said to me and dragged me inside the pack house with her.

The last thing I wanted was for Amy to take me inside but the wolves were scaring me so I went with her willingly and now I was sitting on the couch tugging at my sleeves gently my coat and boots left at the door I felt a pang of pain on my chest and another in my leg I cried out in alarm it wasn’t a hurtful pain more like when you cut yourself on a thorn that was when I heard the pack door open and Cole come limping his way inside the packhouse.

“Your bleeding,” I said worried about him. He looks down at his wound and then at me and then smiled at me.

” I’m fine” his voice croaked as he chuckled. He grabbed me gently lifting me off the ground it looked painful for him as he limped forwards

“Are you sure?” I asked a worried.

“Positive,” he said smiling at me and kissed me on my cheek.

My heart warmed at the thought of her fussing over me I’ve never had anyone fuss over me nor had I seen anyone fuss over something so small I carried her upstairs to our room each second step sent pinches of pain up my body. placing her down on the floor I kissed her forehead

“After taking a shower we will eat dinner together, okay?” I told her and she nodded.

I moved to the closet grabbing some pants and moving to the shower. I take a quick shower and get dressed quickly and take her to the dining room to have some dinner.“Alpha what do you planning to do with the rogues?” Trevor asks mind linking me.“I will interrogate them, the first thing in the morning,” I mind linked him.

“Why not now?” dad asks through the mind link.

“I was too tired to do that after my long journey and fight with rogues,” I told him he just nodded his head towards me and walk out of the room after finishing his dinner. I take Nikki in my arms and limped to my room. I take her in her bed and slip inside the cover myself and fall in a peaceful sleep after a long time.
