(Fraction)
I begrudgingly leave Anna sleeping on my bed. As much as I want to be there for her, I don’t think I can
fight this battle for her I wish! could, I wish it was within my power, I pray to the Goddess that Winter is
still aware enough to help Anna reject the mark
As I enter my office, I see James sitting at my desk chair, notepad and pen in front of him and a phone
to his car As I close the door. I see James roll his eyes
“Alpha Fraction is here now. I’ll pass you over James passes me the handset and moves from my chair
to the sola
“Alpha Callum, nice to hear from you. We were concerned when you didn’t show in South Dakota”
“I am sorry about that My Luna had taken ill and needed my attention” Something about this doesn’t
sound right to me, sure Lunas can get sick but surely, he could have answered the phone “We need to
discuss the wolf you were following Alpha Callum is an older Alpha and by rights he should have
stepped down and passed the title to his Alpha Heir by now. The old cont refuses though
“What about him?” I ask, I don’t want to talk about the man whose mere presence enrages my wolf
“He’s practically royalty within his packs. They have contacted me regarding him. Apparently, he came
here to collect his fated mate and his pack felt the loss of eight lives three nights ago. Please tell me
you weren’t involved in this. The Eastern packs are threatening war unless he returns home” Why the
hell would they contact Callum. All calls

like that sound go to Darryl, he’s the Head Alpha in the area.
“Why did they call you and not Alpha Darryl?”
“I have taken my Luna to Hati a few times in the past and I know some of the Alphas over there.”
Wolves holidaying with outside packs, that’s a first.
“Well, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ll speak to Alpha Darryl and see if he knows anything.
Do you need anything else, Alpha Callum?” I’m done with this conversation; I need to speak to Darryl
and figure out what to do.
“Nothing more. I will speak to you again soon, Fraction.” He hangs up the call on that disrespect. Not
referring to me as Alpha Fraction wast just as offensive as coming up and punching me in the face. I
slam the handset down and turn to James.
“Speak with Darryl. He needs to know what is happening. Maybe he can dig into why Callum has a link
with the Eastern packs” James is writing notes in his pad, “tell him to deny we have Max until I know
how to handle the mate situation we have.
“Anything new on that? How’s the Luna?” I can hear the concern for Anna in James’s voice.
“She’s fighting, her and Winter are strong. I don’t know how after all they have gone through, but they
are.” I sigh and rub my hand over my face, “Doc says she’s special, a full–blooded Omega. She’s rarer
than we thought.”
“This will work out Alpha, I’m sure of it.” James gets up and leaves probably to speak to Darryl as I
requested.
I lean back in my chair and close my eyes. Killing Max’s warriors might have just started a war, taking
Max and holding him could cause even more damage. I can’t let him go, not while he’s linked with my

mate, not while his life is connected to Anna’s. The only way this will end is with Max dead after I
challenge him for the right to mate Anna. A rejection won’t be enough in the eyes of the packs, and I
don’t believe Max will accept a rejection from a full–blooded Omega
anyway.

us. We need to make sure we don’t encounter any surprises. Just as I’m about to steal a thirty–minute
power nap a knock sounds on the office
door.
“Enter.” I sign out, Goddess forbid I have 30 minutes to myself. My mother sticks her head around the
door.
“Sorry to bother you, Henry. I thought you might like to know Anna is awake.” I’m out of my chair before
she finishes the sentence, I quickly sidestep my mother and dash for my bedroom. When I get there. I
stop at the door. I quickly run my hands through my beard and hair, check. my shirt is not oddly tucked
into my Levi’s and slowly enter the room.
Anna is sitting up in bed listening to the doctor. Her eyes meet mine instantly, the first thing I notice is
the mating mark, it seems to be less. than it was. Before it was red and raised, almost angry looking.
Now it’s pale and if I wasn’t looking for it. I’m sure I would miss it all together. Does this mean the
rejection took?
“I want you to rest in bed for at least one more day and no shifting until I give you the all clear.” The
doctor says to Anna who is just nodding her head, she hasn’t taken her eyes off me since I entered the
room. The doctor turns and leaves seeing he won’t be getting much. more from either of us.
I see Anna’s pupils dilate and her nostrils widen, she’s scenting me. I just stand still and allow her tge
