Chapter 60

60 My Pup

Judith POV

I pray to the goddess that the warlock is a man of his word after all that Maureen has been through.
Losing Richard almost killed her. She told the Luna about losing him but she didn’t tell her everything.
Not because she wanted to deceive her, but because she is worried about Penny. Richard wasn’t just a
wolf and neither is Penny. I know that ba**ard killed Richard, but I still don’t understand how? Richard
being a hybrid made him powerful, more powerful than Damien could ever be. I still don’t understand
why he is hell bent on having Maureen. She never showed any interest in him. There is no way he
knows about her gifts. No one knows about her being blessed but me. “Nana, where’s mama, it’s time
for a story.” I know Penny is used to Maureen putting her to bed so I hope she isn’t too upset she isn’t
here. She needed this time with her mate. “Mama will be back tomorrow. Is it OK if I read you a story
and put you to bed.” She thinks for a minute and then smiles. “Yes Nana” she says, and I lead her
upstairs. Once she is in her pajamas, I tuck her in and read her a story. Thankfully, she falls asleep
quickly. Maureen was right. This pack is the best place for Penny to grow up and I will not let that
ba**ard hurt either of my girls.

The Next Day

I head to Penny’s room. I can hear her awake already and playing with her toys. I open the door and
she jumps up, rushing to me. “Nana, where is mama?” I bend down until we are eye to eye. “Mama will
be back soon with John. How about if Nana gets you some breakfast?” She smiles with her toothy grin.
“Can I have chocolate chip pancakes?” I scoop her up and carry her to the kitchen. “Of course, you
can” I say as I put her in the chair at the table. I make the pancakes as she sits and talks about all her
toys. She is so sweet and innocent. She has no idea about all the adult bulls*t and that’s how it should
be. I set her plate down and she digs into her pancakes. She smiles with chocolate on her face and I
chuckle. A knock sounds on the door. I know it’s not Maureen because she wouldn’t knock. “Nana will



be right back. You sit and eat your pancakes like a good girl.” She nods and I head for the door. I look
through the window before I open the door. I believe what Ethan said, but that doesn’t mean Damien
couldn’t be using him as a distraction for the real plan. The pack wolf smiles and waves at me. “Can I
help you?” “I’m one of the pack warriors, the Alpha sent me to watch over you and the pup. I can stay
out here if you’re more comfortable.” “Thank you, I would appreciate that.” She nods and I go head
back toward Penny sitting at the table. “Was it mama” she asks without even looking away from her
pancakes. “No, it wasn’t sweetie” is the last thing I say before the darkness takes me under.

Lincoln POV

Eli’s cries wake me from sleep. Amelia must be in the shower. I scoop my son up in my arms and once
I have him changed, I sit in the rocking chair. As I wait for Amelia to come out of the shower, I look
down at his perfect little face. “Eli, do you know how lucky we are? The goddess blessed us both with
your mother. She is the kindest, most beautiful, and strongest woman I have ever met. I pray that one
day the goddess will bless you just as she has me.” “He has a long time before he finds his mate. Let’s
not rush that”, Amelia says with a chuckle. I look up and she is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. We are
meeting with Ethan this morning. Lily and Neal will be joining us since Michael and Pheobe are staying
at the coven for a few days. She walks over and presses her lips to mine before she takes Eli from my
arms. “We have some place to be this morning, so you better get dressed, sleepy head” she says with
a smirk because she was up before me. I stand and slap her behind before she sits to feed our son. I
head into the shower. As soon as I’m dressed, I head back out and my mother is already waiting. “Let
me hug him before you steal him again mom.” She shoots me a look and I chuckle. I walk over and kiss
his forehead. I hug my mother before I head downstairs with Amelia.

We reach the door that leads to the cells. The guard bares his neck at us. “The Gammas are already
downstairs, Alpha and Luna.” I nod and we head downstairs. Lily turns when she hears us and smiles.
Neal is standing near the cell and seems calm. “I was able to reverse whatever the witch did to Ethan
so he can tell us exactly where that f**king collective is.” I smile “I take it that means that he was being



truthful in his reasoning for entering the territory.” “Yes, he was. The collective leader’s name is Damien
and his collective was part of the attack that Atlas ordered the day you killed him.” I feel Talon at the
surface when she says Atlas’s name. Amelia threads her arm in mine. “Atlas is dead and this a**hole
will be soon too.” I take a few deep breaths before I walk over and unlock the cell. Ethan has a look of
shock on his face. “Ethan, we can finish our discussion in our office”, I say as I point between myself
and Amelia. We all head up to the office and Ethan takes a seat. I can tell he is still worried about his
mate. I would be losing my mind if someone had Amelia. “Ethan, I promise you that Damien is going to
pay for threatening your mate and all that he has done.” “Thank you, Alpha” he says and seems to
relax a little.

Maureen POV

Last night was amazing. I can’t believe I found my second chance and he is so perfect. I won’t ever
forget Richard, but I know he would want me to be happy. He was an amazing mate and father. I look
at John sleeping peacefully and I smile. He is so handsome and kind. I’m very blessed and I can’t wait
to join the pack after Damien is dealt with. I have to tell John about Penny before I tell the Alpha and
Luna. I brush the hair off his forehead. I can’t just leave, but I need to get back to Penny. I have never
spent a night away from her. I know she is safe with my mom but I miss her even if it’s only been
overnight. “Good morning beautiful” he says with his eyes still closed. “You can’t even see me to know
what I look like this morning. I could have bed head and drool on my face.” “You are beautiful even with
bed head and drool” he says. He opens his eyes and I lean in pressing my lips to his. I pull back “good
morning.” I slide out of the bed and start to pull my clothes on. He starts to do the same. “You don’t
have to get up John. I just want to go check on Penny.” “I have no intentions of letting you out of my
sight until that a**hole is dealt with. ” I smile and when we are both dressed we start down the path
toward the cottage.

We are about halfway there when I feel someone trying to reach me. I stop dead because the only
person who could ever do that was Richard and I’m sure now John. “What’s wrong Maureen?” “I’m not



sure” I say and focus on whoever is reaching out. “Mama” is all I hear before I lose the connection and
my body fills with dread. I dont’t even say a word and I take off at full speed toward the cottage. John is
calling out but I can’t stop to explain. I need to reach Penny. I rush up the stairs and throw open the
door. I go room by room and when I reach the hall that leads to the kitchen, every bit of hope I had is
gone. I rush over, placing my hand on my mother’s chest. My hand begins to glow and I pass my
healing to her. She has no injuries that I can see but she has to be hurt, she is unconscious. “Maureen”
John yells out and I respond telling him where I am. He rushes to me “John, Penny is gone.” “She took
her Maureen.” I look down at my mother. “Who mom, who took her?” “The pack woman who said she
was here to protect us.” I growl “that f**king b**ch from last night.” “I’m alright go get our girl.” “She can’t
be far” my mother says. “Are you sure your alright” I ask. “I am more pissed than hurt now move your
ass.” I smile before I turn to John. He pulls me into his arms and I’m just about to protest when he
speaks. “Think about Penny.” I close my eyes and focus on my daughter.

“Penny, can you hear mama” I say in my mind. After a few seconds, she finally answers. “I’m scared
mama. This lady is mean.” I tamper down my anger and focus on saving my daughter. “Baby girl, what
do you see around you?” “Trees, just lots of trees mama.” A few seconds pass and she speaks again.
“Mama, I see water.” “That’s good sweetie. Is it big water or little water?” “It’s big mama.” “Good girl,
you be brave. Mama will be there soon.” “OK mama” she says, and I lose the connection. I open my
eyes. “She is near a lake. She still has to be in the pack lands. Her scent was still in the house. She
won’t dare shift because she won’t be able to control Penny.” He smiles and wraps me in his arms
again. I feel strange and in the next second we are surrounded by trees. John holds on to me until I’m
steady. “Teleporting takes some getting used to. I’m sorry I didn’t warn you.” “Thank you, for getting us
here so quickly.” I scent the air and catch Penny’s scent. I shift and lower down so that John can get on
Clarice’s back. She starts to stalk toward the scent, trying to keep the element of surprise. As we reach
the edge of the trees, there is a clearing that leads to the pack border. I remember it from when Walker
brought us to the pack. I finally spot them just passing over the border. I’m just about to take off when I
feel John is no longer on my back. That b**ch is so dead when I get to her. Clarice takes off “she is



more than dead for touching our pup.” As we cross the border Clarice stops and I don’t understand
what the hell is happening right now. “Carter” is all I can make out before John has them both
suspended in the air screaming. I look around and Penny is nowhere in sight. I walk toward the b**ch
who looks scared. She should be. “Where is my pup you b**ch?”
