49 New Day

John POV

The ceremony was so beautiful and I’m glad that Lily and Neal were made Gamma/’s. It’s still hard to believe that everyone important to me is here in a wolf pack I chuckle to myself. I told my mother that I would have breakfast with her, Aunt Iris, and Walker today. I’m going to go on a run and get a little training in before we have breakfast. I throw on gray sweats and a black t-shirt. I head out of the cottage and toward the path. As I start to run, I feel like I’m being watched. I look around but I don’t see anyone. Great John, your being paranoid, I say to myself. That f**ker Lucas has me losing it. I can’t wait to watch him suffer for all he did to my aunt. A wolf steps out as I run near the border and I stop. The wolf smells like pack but I don’t know all the wolves in the pack yet. It makes no move toward me. “Can I help you?” The wolf growls and I step back. “I am part of this pack and I don’t want to hurt you.” As soon as the last word leaves my mouth, the wolf shifts. Now I’m pissed as she stands there laughing.

“What the f**k Clarissa” I say as she starts walking toward me. “Oh, John learn to take a joke.” “That’s not funny or a joke.” “What if I cast against you?” She rolls her eyes. “What the hell are you doing out here, stalking me?” “Don’t flatter yourself John.” “I was out on a run when I scented you.” “Fine, I need to finish my run because I have plans.” I see something flash on her face but its gone so quickly I think I imagined it. “Don’t let me keep you from your plans” she says. I’m just about to take off to finish my run when I notice her scenting the air near the border. “What is it” I ask. “It’s not a wolf but I smell something close to the territory.” I hear what sounds like a moan and on instinct I start to walk toward the sound. I’m wrenched back by Clarissa. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” “That’s outside the pack land.” I pull my arm free “I’m not going to let someone or something suffer just because it isn’t part of the pack.” I start again to cross the border and when I pass through trees the moaning gets louder. I walk a few feet to the left and that’s when I see her lying on the ground covered in blood. I link Lincoln before I wrap her in my arms teleporting her to the pack hospital.

Maureen POV

to always do what’s best for all of us. “Mama” Penny says interrupting our conversation. “Yes baby” I say bending down so I’m eye level with her. “Can I see Lily?” I smile, she is such a sweet girl. “I think they are busy but maybe we can go on a run later.” “I can see Clary” she says in her sweet voice. My wolf preens to hear the nickname our pup has given her. “Yes, you can see Clary.” “Now, why don’t you get washed up for breakfast.” “Ok, mama” she says and heads down the hall. This

off before we were interrupted, but thankfully she heads to the kitchen to start on breakfast. Penny comes back up and I put her in the booster seat at the table. Once my mother sets the plate of pancakes down in front of her, she wastes no time digging in. I smile at my innocent little girl who is happy right now and I need to keep it that way. So, I plan on staying here as long as we can. Maybe Damien will give up, I can only hope. A knock sounds on the door and I stiffen. “It’s not him Maureen” Clarice says and I know she’s right. He would never make it into the territory besides I would scent him. I get up going to the door. I look outside and Lily is standing on the

I bend picking her up. “Hello there, Miss Penny.” “Hi Lily” she says with chocolate on her face. “Did we interrupt your breakfast?” “No, in fact there is more than enough if you two want to join us.” “Please Lily”, Penny says and I couldn’t say no if I wanted to. I turn to

When we reach the lobby, a nurse is waiting for us. “Alpha and Luna, I’ll take you to the room.” We follow her to a room at the end of the hall. When we open the door John is sitting in a chair. A woman who looks to be in her late forties is lying in the bed hooked up to a lot of
