-MILA-Alpha Zeke sat across from us at his table in the cabin. Lana and Laura flanked him on either side, all three held a serious expression on their faces.Zeke clasped his hands together on the tabletop, "So, what do you have for me?"Lobo glanced at me before speaking, "We have some of the rogue members willing to leave Fenrir. One still seems skeptical, but I'm positive that he will come around."Zeke nodded thoughtfully, "Very well. When will the attack take place? I would like you to liaise with us so we can lend you some of our finest fighters.""I want to give it a day or two. I want to give the members a chance to make an alliance with us before we go in killing." Lobo explained.Laura - at least I thought it was Laura- leaned forward, "AAlpha, if I may?"Zeke nodded, giving her permission to go on."If you have spoken with them, I think that is courtesy enough. We cannot risk another attack from them. They have already killed some of our wolves.""I understand that. But th
-MILA-Lobo was in the shower, and I was on the sofa when his phone started ringing on the table."Lobo! Your phone!" I called out, reaching for the ringing phone."Answer it!" He called back.Zeke's name flashed across the screen. The moment I saw his name, I knew something was wrong."Hello?""Mila? Where is Lobo?" Zeke sounded annoyed and impatient."He's in the shower, would you like me to take a message?""No. I would like you to get him out of there and tell him to come and see me. Now.""Give me a minute." I got to my feet, holding the phone to my shoulder as I went to Lobo, "It's Zeke. He wants to speak to you and sounds really pissed off."Lobo stepped out of the shower, frowning as he took the phone from me.I sat on the closed toilet while I watched, his brow furrowed deeply as he listened to something Zeke said on the other end of the line."What? When?" Curious, his voice hiked as he walked to the mirror, "We'll be right there."I raised my brows, "What was that about? An
-MILA-I walked beside Lobo as we made our way toward the rogue Pack with Zeke and his Pack members.Glancing over at Lobo I was surprised to see him looking calm and collected. I couldn't help but wonder how he could look so calm when we were walking into battle. I shook my head, it was just another mystery about Lobo."Stay close." He muttered, leaning down to my ear.I nodded, hoping I looked more confident than I felt.As we stepped into the clearing, the wolves from Zeke's Pack shifted and rushed toward Fenrir's rogues. Lobo turned to m, giving me a curt nod before taking off with the others.I hung back, leaning against a tree trunk. I couldn't feel the slightest indication of a shift coming on, so I stayed back, not exactly wanting to risk my life in this.It was a blur of fur and claws as they went straight into fighting each other. I noticed a few of the rogues weren't involved in the fighting going on.They must be the ones who want to join us. I looked out at the war trans
-MILA- Upon Lobo's return, he came back without Fenrir leaving me to believe that Fenrir was no longer a problem.I excused myself to wait in the car while Lobo spoke with Zeke.I wasn't very happy with what Zeke had done. I felt he had risked our lives for something that could have easily been avoided.And with the way I was feeling, I knew I would have a problem keeping my mouth shut after my chat with Zeke.There was a feeling of anger in me that I wasn't used to. Threatening to burst forth from me if given the chance.I watched as Lana and Laura walked over to join Lobo and Zeke. There it was again, the anger threatening to bubble out.Don't do it. I told myself, fighting the urge to go out and voice my unwanted opinion.I bit on my thumbnail as I watched them. I wanted to go out there and scream at them. So many lives were lost, all because of Zeke's ego. It angered me to know that they were the reason that so many people died.Lobo turned, his eyes meeting mine for a second.T
-MILA-I was frozen in place when the words left Lobo's mouth.She's been giving you herbs to stop you from falling pregnant.Lobo rushed passed me, his hand closing around Shauna's neck, pulling me from my trance."Lobo, wait!" He turned to me, looking at me as if I had lost my mind."We must be fair." I reminded him, even though I felt like I was ready to tear her apart myself.Lobo snarled at Shauna before roughly throwing her to the ground, "Mitch, lock her away."The Pack was silent. An awkward tension rising in the air.Lobo turned to me, "Come." I followed behind him, not daring to look at Shauna as I passed by.When I stepped into the house - an older cabin- I noticed Betty sitting in a chair near the back."Tell Mila what you told me." Lobo demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.Betty looked at me, "Those herbs Shauna gives you aren't just vitamins. She's been mixing herbs into it that stop you from falling pregnant.""I heard that already. Why?""When you first arrive
-MILA-I woke up in an empty bed.Getting to my feet I walked out to find a few guilty looks from the Pack members.What has he done now? I wondered as I searched for Lobo. I walked through the Pack, hearing hushed whispers, and I knew it was something bad."Lobo?"Mitch stepped in front of me as I tried to walk into the cabin where Shauna was being kept."Get out of my way, Mitch.""No. I have been given orders to ensure that you do not enter this cabin.""Mitch, I don't care. Get out of my way. Now.""No."I sighed, "Where is Lobo?""I'm right here."I turned to face him, "What have you done with Shauna?""She's still in there. She's facing her punishment.""Which is what?""I have injected a mixture into her veins. A diluted silver."My mouth dropped in surprise, "What? Are you insane?""Relax. It will not kill her. It simply causes mild pain and strips her of her wolf abilities for a time until the silver passes from the body."I raised my brows, "What? Lobo, listen to yourself."
-MILA-"Let go of me!" I snapped at Lobo as he dragged me into our cabin."No, if you won't listen, I will forcefully stop you from this foolishness."I pulled my arm free of his grasp as we stepped inside, "You know why she thinks it's better that we don't have children, don't you?"His hesitation told me my answer."Why? Tell me why she feels this way.""You're seeing things that aren't there, Mila. I don't know why she feels that way."There it was, that strange change in his eyes. "What is going on, Lobo?""I don't know."I had a feeling that was the first time he was being honest with me in a long time. I sat in the chair with a sigh, "This is such a mess.""Please let me handle this. That's all I ask."I nodded, even though I had no intention of doing that."Thank you. Now, I need to take care of Betty.""What's the plan?"Lobo frowned, "I'm going to inject her with the silver mixture, the same way I did with Shauna."I nodded again, "Alright. And then what?""I'm not sure yet.
-MILA-Lobo walked into the cabin, "How did your talk with Betty pan out?"I shrugged, "I think you know how it panned out."He sat down opposite me, "I don't. But I know she agrees with you about Shauna.""And that surprises you? You know how close they were. That doesn't just turn off."He nodded, "I know. Shauna is speaking in front of the Pack tonight.""Don't even try and stop me from going.""I won't.""Now, let's move on to the next thing. What the hell happened to you in that room with Lowell."He rolled his eyes, "Not this again. Nothing happened.""You're lying. Something changed.""I killed my only brother, of course something changed."I raised a brow, "That's not the only thing that changed you. I know that. Stop lying to me, Lobo."He stared at me, I could see he was thinking about something."Lobo, come on. You know that whatever it is, you can trust me. I'm not going anywhere."He got to his feet, "You're imagining things. Nothing happened to me in that room.""The fac
