-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
-MILA-I huffed as Lobo gently but firmly shoved me into the chair, slamming the door of the cabin shut."Who has been filling your head with lies about a cure?""Lies? How do you know it's lies?""Because we are supernatural beings, Mila. We are chosen by the moon Goddess. There is no way she would allow a cure."I raised a brow, "Oh really? If that's the case, why did she allow you to become half-demon?""I don't know. I don't know why she does the things she does. None of us do. Only she can tell you that.""Great, so I should find a dead Goddess to answer my questions then?"He sighed, "Mila, there's something I have to tell you.""What now?" I could tell by the tone of his voice that it was something big."I think I might have an idea about Shauna. Why she didn't want us to have children.""What?" I moved forward to the edge of my seat, was he about to tell me what was going on?"There was a prophecy that said my first daughter would be the Goddess reincarnated.""What?" I heard
-MILA-Lobo was pacing the cabin, "No. There is no way that is true. The Goddess does not bring chaos. You know this."Shauna raised a brow, "No, I know what I know. You know a bullshit fairytale." I smirked, even though she looked terrible, she still had an attitude of note."How do you know this?" I asked."I did more research on it. There are parts of the prophecy which couldn't be translated. I worked for hours to translate it all, and it clearly warns us that she will bring destruction with her. She wants to come back so she can make wolves rule. She wants to wipe out the vampires. Do you know what that means? There will be a war between us and them."Lobo took a seat, "I don't believe this. I refuse to believe this, Shauna.""Get someone else to translate it if you don't believe me.""I believe you," I said.Shauna smiled gratefully at me."Why didn't you tell me this before?""Well, you weren't interested in being with your mate. I didn't think there was any chance of you ever
-MILA-Lobo walked into the Pack grounds only a few minutes before Betty and Shauna were due to speak.The half moon was shining with a silvery light in the dark night sky, with very few flickering lights of the stars around it."Took you long enough," I hissed with annoyance, "Did you find anything out?"He shook his head, "No. But I have the written prophecy with a trusted translator.""Good. Now can we get this over and done with, please?"He nodded and we walked into the clearing together.The rest of the Pack was already waiting. Betty and Shauna waited in front of the crowd, ready to give their pleas, Mitch stood beside them giving me a dirty look."When is he going to stop hating me?" I asked in a hushed whisper."He doesn't hate you. He's just not used to taking orders from anyone else."I scoffed, I highly doubted that was the case.I could see the look of hatred in his eyes as he stared at me.Lobo stepped up and I followed him."We have discussed the transgressions against
-MILA-I paced the cabin, Lobo had chosen to lock me in before he left the Pack grounds.He was determined to get the translation done before the verdict about Betty and Shauna. I knew he was trying to prove that Shauna lied about the prophecy. And I was in two minds about how I felt on the matter.If she was telling the truth, that meant I could never have any children. But if she was lying, she would likely be sentenced to death.I wasn't sure how I would handle either of those situations."Mila."I stopped pacing, turning to one of the windows where Elena was standing."What are you doing?" I asked."I'm checking on you. Why did he lock you in?""Apparently, I'm a danger to myself. He didn't want me to tell the Pack about the prophecy." I explained."Why would he want to hide something like that?""He thinks it makes me a target. I don't know. I guess he thinks that the Pack will be concerned for their safety with me around. If he doesn't have a mate, the prophecy can't come true.
-MILA-I screamed in frustration when I didn't shift. I could clearly hear that there was trouble going on out there, and it frustrated me that I was locked in here and unable to do anything about it.I wanted to be out there, helping the rest of the Pack.I tried to get out, but it was no use, Lobo had made sure that I was locked up tightly.A part of me wondered if he suspected there would be trouble today. Another part of me felt guilty and I wondered if I had caused this with my earlier confession.Having no way to get out, I sat down on the edge of the bed and listened to the commotion outside.It sounded like things were getting worse, and much closer.I got back to my feet and went over to the window to have a look out and see what was going on.I couldn't tell much, but I could see wolves fighting. And then I realized that it was my fault. They were trying to get to the cabin and the Pack was circled around it, warding them off.This made me feel even worse. I was in here, sa
-MILA-I hoped the Pack couldn't tell how nervous I was by my inability to stand still. Lobo was addressing them about the prophecy.True to his word, he was telling them that Shauna was mistaken, but that it was no fault of her own.I knew why we had to lie to them, but I wouldn't say I liked it. I wanted to tell them the truth, and I felt guilty standing by while Lobo lied to them.I shifted from one foot to the other, glancing around.I was trying not to look guilty and knew I was failing miserably.I noticed Mitch sneaking glances at me from time to time, which made me think he suspected that we were lying to them all.I caught Mitch's eyes and looked away, casting my eyes downward. Betty and Shauna stood nearby, and both of them kept looking at me too, but I refused to meet their gaze.I was afraid they would be able to see that we were hiding the truth from them.Lobo nudged me and I looked up, realizing I was probably making the situation worse. I forced a smile at him, hoping
-MILA-I chewed at my thumbnail as I stood in the clearing with Lobo. My eyes kept darting to Elena who stood beside Mitch.I wanted this hearing over and done with so that we could get a move on with our search for the cure. A small part of me wondered if I was being selfish, I knew Lobo wanted me to embrace what he had made me. But I couldn't, especially after hearing the prophecy. My eyes trailed over to Shauna and Betty. The pair stood beside one another, but I could feel the hate radiating from them in waves. "Are you okay?" Lobo asked, lowering his head.I nodded, "Yes. I'm just impatient." As the words left my mouth, a sudden hot flash ran through my body. It was very sudden, and so brief that I barely noticed it.Lobo placed a hand on my lower back, "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked through the mind link.I nodded, I felt fine, just slightly off with everything that was going on. I was sure once I was human again, I would have a less stressful life. Lobo dropped his han
