"During dinner, Einar and Beauden noticed how quiet Wisdom was. Everyone else was listening to Idris talking about how dangerous Wisdom is. Wisdom didn't eat much, excused herself, and glanced at Einar. Beauden stood up to leave with her. But she told him to finish his dinner and that she was fine, she was trying to figure something out. Beauden is reluctant and begins to follow her, he stops when Chickpea wakes up and steers around in her playpen. He looks at Wissy. “Damn it,” then picked his daughter up. Everyone at the table besides Kiri is looking at him. They didn’t notice Einar leaving the room and walking in Wisdom's direction. Wisdom sits on the sofa in her office staring at the door when Einar enters. He sits beside her and takes her hand. “I’m proud of you. Now you know everything that I know. Yes, it was four boxes. But your grandfather somehow combined them into one. “ She nods, “Yodoshi is close by. I saw him in a dream. Why do I feel as if I’ve met him before?”
Einar is skeptical of Fletcher. “Okay. But that still doesn’t explain why you’re here.” He glances at the woods looking at Carmine, Ossian, and Lonergan staring at the young man. Fletcher waves his arms around, “This pack belongs to my father. You have no right to question me.” “Just who is your father and where in the hell did you get that this pack is yours?” Carmine walked toward the man with a serious and angry expression. "Who in the hell are you?” Flecther looks Carmine up and down. Carmine grabs Fletcher's neck, choking him “Young man, your arrogance and bullshit is about to get your ass killed. Now answer my damn question.” Flecther’s gasping for air. “Yes sir. I’m the Alpha’s son.” Carmine drops him to the ground. “that’s a damn lie. Someone has been lying to you. I mean a lot of lies."Ossian, Lonergan, and Einar are looking at Carmine. Lonergan and Ossian are wondering who has lied to Fletcher and what they expect to gain from it. Einar is thinking if the m
The following morning Peyton, Mazi, and Whitman are eating breakfast. She has been most of the talking while Peyton Whitman rolls their eyes at each other. Finally, Mazi has had enough, ”Whitman, Wisdom will never be yours. She has forgiven Beauden and accepted him as her mate. You have done some foul crap, and my mate isn’t going to stand up for you. Even if I must take him home until all of this bullshit is over. Whitman if you keep pushing my niece and her mate you’ll get something you don’t want. Believe me when I say that." She leaves the room. “Crazy ass man thinks he can force my niece to want him. He has lost his damn mine.” Peyton looking down the hall at his mate .”You have really done it now. Mazi is always calm. If I were you I would listen and train your ass for this monster that’s coming after us. Now let me go calm my beautiful mate down. For the record, you should listen to us and stay the hell away from Fierce Growlers territory." Whitman is taking in that Mazi
Zeus appears in the cave where the Wendigos have been hiding for centuries. They always thought their location was a well-kept secret. Zeus has always made sure to keep a watchful eye on all evil beings and creatures that may be a threat to Wisdom and were known to side with demons. The cave seems to be empty but as Zeus walks deeper into the cave and sees thousands of Wendigos discussing attacking the surface to take humans to feed on. “So going after my great granddaughter wasn’t enough that now you want to go after defenseless humans.” Zeus yells while throwing thunderbolts at some of the Wendigos.” Conan stares at Zeus, he’s the last person he expected to see. “We can discuss this calmly.” “Calmly my ass. Calmly went out of the window when you went after Yesenia.” Zeus throws more thunderbolts killing more Wendigos. “Attack” Conan yells pointing at Zeus and looks around at his men, only to see he’s the only one standing. When he looks back at Zeus and screams when a stra
Wisdom lays her sleeping Chickpea in the crib. She kisses her forehead, “Sleep well, my daughter. Mommy has to go take care of some business.” She’s about to leave for the Radiant Guardian pack when Beauden, Deshal, and Idris enter the nursery. When Wisdom informed Beauden where she was going, he wasn’t thrilled about her going alone. So, he and Deshal are planning to go with her. “We’re ready.” “Ready to whoop some asses.” Deshal peeps in the crib at Chickpea. “Not this trip. This is something I must do alone.” Wisdom kisses Beauden’s cheek and looks at Deshal. “Besides you’re on Chickpea duty. Beauden and Roake are going bar hopping.” “Bar hopping and not taking me. Hell, I want to hop too.” Idris sits in the rocker frowning looking at Beauden. As usual, Beauden ignores him, “Okay Wissy, but be careful. At least you’re getting your hands on that traitor.” Be kisses her forehead. “We shouldn’t be long.” Wisdom looks at Idris mumbling, "After hanging in the air he needs a
"Beauden, Roarke, and four warriors arrive at the bar where Ely and Devin were last seen. Beauden hoping Whitman shows up. He can’t wait to get his hands on him even if Whitman didn’t get a chance to burn Wissy’s house it’s the point that he planned on doing the deed. The thought Whitman was so sure that his mate would run back to Peyton’s pack and into his arms only pisses him off more. The warrior goes to the bar to sit, and Roarke and Beauden sit at a table that has the perfect view of the front and side doors. Beauden listened to Wissy tell him she was home and taking a shower before she kidnapped their daughter from their parents. He grins “Man I hope Wissy’s pregnant or gets pregnant soon. I missed seeing her swollen belly and Chickpea’s birth. I can’t let that happen again. Whitman gloated over the fact he was there for Wissy. Ignorant bastard." “I seriously doubt that will happen. Wisdom has finally accepted you. It appears neither of you can keep your hands off each other.”
Alpha Keema and Luna Caiolin are looking at the small casualties they have after being attacked by the Phobos. Alpha Keema’s talking with Leo his Beta about training the warriors harder. Luna Caiolin walks into the center of the yard. “As we mentioned before Phobos feeds on fear and sadness. If you want to survive this war that’s coming our way work out your issues.” She notices the angry look she’s getting. “I may sound cruel. Sometimes being cruel is the only way to survive. I don’t have time to sugarcoat the facts. Tougher up or die.” Caiolin walks on the porch. “I hate to be cold-hearted, but I have to be if I want our members to live through this war.” “Damn, I’ve never heard Caiolin speak that way before.” Leo looks at Luna Caiolin concerned. "Should I be worried about her?""No, the Luna is fine." Keema nods “None of us have heard that side of Caiolin. It's because we’ve never encountered anything like Lucius before. I’m glad she isn’t choosing her words carefully. The p
"Mazi and Peyton are staring at Lindsay and Dina. Especially Dina Peyton can’t get over how much Dina resembles his mother. “Damn, there no way in hell Whitman can deny her.” “I was thinking the same thing. Why would he leave his mate and child?’ Mazi smiles looking at Dina playing with Amaury. “My brother has lost his damn mind.” Peyton leaves the room “I have some business to take care of.” Mazi looks at him confused because he had cleared his schedule so he could take her and their son to the movies when Lindsay showed up. Peyton points to Rutina his secretary “Follow me.” Rutina jumps up following him wondering what she has done wrong. He turned to look at her quickly, causing her to drip her notepad. “Are you alright?” Peyton picked up the notepad. “Yes sir,” she takes the notepad. Peyton looks at her a little concerned. “Anyway call the Gray Night pack and ask Alpha Mehcad about Lindsay Bauer and if Whitman had been there. Also, inform the Alpha that she’s her
