**Elliott POV**

“Dad, this is going to freak her out.” I stated. My mate had been through so much, I couldn’t imagine telling her we had to find and figure out what happened to Mystic Moon and she’d have to relive her parents dying and her being most likely kidnapped by river bed in order to get her to her destiny of running two huge and ancient packs with me. If I were in her position, my head would’ve exploded.

“It may,” my father said, getting up and refilling his glass before coming back to join me. “But I’m sensing a great deal of her mother’s spunk and toughness, so don’t underestimate the strength of your mate. Yes, this may overwhelm her but I really do think she can do it, Elliott. Matthew and I wondered since Jade’s birth if the two of you were the mates as foretold in the prophecy. I think you both have more strength than you give yourselves credit for, and you won’t be alone. You’ll have your mother and I.”

I nodded absentmindedly, suddenly remembering more of my questions

    **Elliott POV**I’d had a hard time falling asleep without Jade last night. It was funny to think about considering we’d only slept together for one night so far, but nevertheless it was unpleasant without her. The information my dad had given me wasn’t a big help either. I ended up giving up and going back to my office, finishing most of my overdue work before crashing on the couch. At least I’d be caught up enough to catch up on the time I was missing with my new mate for girls’ night.I was already anxious to see my mate, but after Jasper told me about the drinks he sent the girls when we were at morning training and knowing I’d made them one round of margaritas and bought them another with dinner, I knew the girls would likely be asleep until noon. Wolves typically had a higher tolerance for alcohol and a faster metabolism, so I was hoping we hadn’t overserved and they wouldn’t be too hungover today, because I was ready to see what my dad could figure out from Emma and Jade’s memo

    **Jade POV**I woke up feeling somewhat dizzy. I stretched and rubbed my eyes before seeing Cleo still asleep in the bed next to me, but Emma was missing. I got up, grabbing my robe off the floor and started looking around the room for her before seeing her curled up in a chair on the deck and looking out over the mountains.“Good morning,” I said, walking onto the deck and taking the seat next to my best friend. “How long have you been up?”Emma shrugged. “Hours.”“Okay, what’s wrong?” I asked with a lightly accusatory tone.“What do you mean?” Emma said, looking surprised I would even ask which was a definitive sign that there was something wrong. I just stared at her. “Okay, fine. Our first night here I had a really odd dream and last night I had it again.” She confessed.“That’s weird. What happened in the dream?” I asked, wondering what could possibly have happened that would leave her this shaken. Emma was a tough cookie. Hardly the type of person to be shaken by a simple nightma

    **Jade POV**Before long, Emma entered the room looking very unsure of herself. William and Elliott took the larger sofa, leaving Emma and I the love seat, probably so she could sit closer to me for moral support. “Well, let’s dig in to breakfast and see if we can get to the bottom of a few things.” Elliott said, cutting the tension slightly. Everyone began to eat in awkward silence, no one really hungry enough to eat much.“So,” William started after it looked like everyone was finished eating. “Jade, what’s the earliest memory you have?”It took a moment for me to think about it. “Um, I remember being in the snow and thinking someone was after me,” as soon as I said the word “snow”, Emma seemed to come alive and turned her entire body rapidly to stare at me, listening intently. “Then I remember darkness, and waking up at river bed to one of the omegas telling me I’d been brought here after the rogue attack and my scent smelled like I was one of them. I asked where my mom and dad wer

    **Elliott POV**“We need to get Sebastians old room ready for him since I’m willing to bet he’ll be staying here for at least a couple weeks before his graduation. Cleo, I was hoping you could arrange that and maybe a welcome back dinner party. Keep it small, maybe just us and my parents and we’ll have a bigger one with the whole pack in a few weeks once he and my sister are both officially back for good. Jasper, I was wondering if you could pull records of pack members from 12 years ago to see if Emma was possibly a member here. I know it’ll be hard, but I’m hoping I can do some digging and see if I can find any census Mystic Moon had done of all their members around that time as well. I have a strong feeling she’s from one of the two packs. Cam, I’d like you to hand pick several guards to accompany us to River bed. Once the elders officially put Victor under arrest, they’ll be requiring some of our resources for his transport to trial, and we’ll need some focused and experienced war

    **Jade POV**I bounced into my—I couldn’t even believe it was mine!— office, hearing Emma gasp behind me. I myself had actually forgotten how beautifully decorated my office was. I wanted to do what Elliott had with his office, to preserve most of the general look and only add a few new things that made the room feel more like MINE, but the time for that wasn’t now. It was time to learn how to be an equal partner to my mate, and I would not let him or this pack down.“Hello, girls!” Vera exclaimed as we walked through the doorway. I smiled at her and walked toward the sitting area where she was perched on one of the chairs from the desk area that she’d pushed over to the sitting area. There was a tray of teacups with a beautifully decorated matching teapot and a few assorted fruits. “Help yourself, we have a lot to go over and I’m sure you’ll need to gather some energy after last night. How was it?!” She asked as if she really was interested.“It was amazing! We got massages, manicure

    **Emma POV**No sooner had I closed the door to Jade’s swanky new office than I heard a deep and terrifying “boo” from behind me. I jumped, only to see Cameron waiting just outside Elliott’s door so I smacked him as hard as I could manage, but it seemed not to make a single difference to him.“Ready for lunch?” Cameron asked, pretending to rub his chest from where I’d slapped him. I narrowed my eyes but nodded, too hungry to argue with him.Cameron and I chit-chatted about what all we’d gone over with Vera as we headed down to the floor I recognized as his when he’d given me my tour. He led me a few doors down before opening one of the large wood doors for me and gesturing for me to head in before him.The office looked fancy, but not as large and expensive looking as Jade’s or Elliott’s. The room was still a nice size, big enough for a smaller sitting area than in the other offices, one wall completely taken up by monitors that looked like different areas around the packlands, probab

    **Elliott POV**“Well, your mother said Jade is a natural leader, but I’d expect as much given her lineage, “my father smiled fondly as he talked about my mate. “She said they were rapping up the first day of training so far and they’d meet us on the balcony whenever we’re ready to wrap things up here.”I looked down at the map of silver moon one more time. I know Mystic Moon was somewhere in the woods right on the border of our packlands. I remember it being only about a 30-minute drive there. I’d tried to draw a reasonable search perimeter to start with. Maybe we’d get lucky and somehow stumble upon Mystic Moon if we were able to unlock some of Jade’s memories. It was worth a shot.I was feeling uneasy about the prospect of my brother finding that my mate had in fact been manipulated by dark magic. I worried about what would happen if there was no way to undo the damage and how I could possibly console her if she was going to have to accept that all her memories of her parents were

    **Jasper POV**I’d been staring at the same spreadsheet for what felt like hours, and it still didn’t make any sense. Nothing did make any sense, not since we went to river bed. I hated to think that. I hated to be thinking that my best friend—my brother’s— mate was the cause of all this chaos happening inside of me now.I haven’t been able to place how I’ve felt about Jade or even Emma for that matter since we’d put them in the car to come home. Something about both of their scents made me feel like I knew them somehow, but I couldn’t place it. I’d been to river bed several times in my adult life, but it was usually just for conferences or meetings. I hardly ever interacted with anyone besides the person we’d specifically come there to see, so I couldn’t have met them in passing or anything. Elliott usually made sure our meetings were as brief as possible as soon as the alpha’s daughter began to take a liking to him.Cleo had seemed so taken with the girls that I didn’t want to burde

    “I’m sorry, I lost my train of thought. I should probably start from the beginning of what I know, that’s why I’m here.” He smiled sheepishly at me, almost as if he were trying to read my face to see if I’d lumped him in with his father or if there was any level of trust. I decided to be open-minded and give him a chance to explain himself.Elliott gestured for Logan to come and sit in the sitting area Emma and I had just been in the day before talking about her strange dream. I wondered why he wouldn’t want this meeting to be more formal and at his desk, but I didn’t question him. Jasper pushed one of the larger chairs in front of the desk over to the area, and Logan gratefully took it. As he plopped into the chair, he closed his eyes almost as if he hadn’t sat anywhere remotely as comfortable in a long time. I began to look him over. The scars on his face were nothing compared to the rest of his body. Though he did appear to be wearing Elliott’s clothes as they were a bit too large,

    **Elliott POV**So strange. One moment, Jade was reaching out for a handshake and then next, she was gasping, and her eyes clouded over as if in a private link. When they came back into focus, she looked blankly and wordlessly at our guest for at least 15 seconds.“You’re Logan.” She almost whispered. How could she know that? He’d only just told me his first name on our way up to my office so I would know how to introduce him.“Do you trust me?” He asked my mate, looking almost as if he could see into her very core.I saw Jade nod stoically in response. “But I don’t know why.” She admitted in a whisper.I saw him reach out as if to hug MY mate, and I couldn’t stop Aries from interfering. I liked to think of myself as more evolved than my wolf, but he had a point. Why was this stranger touching our mate knowing she bore our mark?A growl came from deep inside me, a carnal and possessive one. I could see the fear on Logan’s face, and I didn’t care. It wasn’t until I looked at Jade and s

    Before I could spin out too much, the door swung open. My breath hitched and I sprinted toward my mate, jumping into his arms, and inhaling deeply into his hair. “Are you okay?!” I realized I was crying.“Yes, love. I’m just fine, and I think we may have made a major breakthrough about your old pack. Mystic Moon, I mean.” Elliott’s voice was the greatest sound I’d ever heard. I was barely processing what he was saying and just wept into his shoulder. I knew he was fine now, but I realized the thought that he’d been hurt—or maybe even worse—had frightened me more than anything ever had in my life.I finally realized what Elliott had just said to me when I heard someone clearing their throat. The sound was coming from behind Elliott, so this must’ve been the ‘them’ they were talking about.I slid slowly down from my mate’s grasp before looking behind him. There stood a man with dirty blonde hair falling in messy-looking curls down past his shoulders. His hair was even longer than Elliot

    **Jade POV**Cleo pulled away suddenly and I could see a very confused and slightly alarmed look on her face. “That was Cameron. Evidently there’s some sort of emergency and we all need to go into Elliott’s office and wait for them.”“Is Elliott okay?!” I asked, wondering why he didn’t link me himself.“I’m not sure.” Cleo bit her lip. Her eyes clouded over, and I wondered if she was mindlinking back to ask.“I just linked Jasper. He said Cam asked him to come too, but if Elliott were hurt Jasper would be one of the first people to be linked,” she seemed to be trying to calm me, but my eyes got a bit wider wondering why the beta would be told before Elliott’s mate. Why was Jasper more important? And why was I so upset about it? “You’ll be the first to know as soon as you’re able to be linked!” Cleo patted my arm, trying to explain it to me and I felt a bit of relief.We made our way into the hallway, and I saw Cameron and Sebastian naked and rushing toward us. Being wolves, nudity was

    **Cleo POV**We’d had an eventful few hours. Vera had thrown a few scenarios at the girls, who had taken it all in stride. Jade seemed to have a natural hosting ability just like rumor has it her own mother did, but it was beginning to seem kind of obvious to me that Emma was of some sort of high-ranking descent. Maybe not an alpha, but she could easily be a gamma or maybe even a beta. She seemed to not only catch on to the more tedious aspects of her role quickly, but she also seemed to enjoy learning what was expected of her.Both girls were taking notes so quickly and diligently that I could swear I could almost see steam coming from their pens, Jade writing little notes next to her notes on occasion and Emma looking like she wished she had some sort of recording device. I made a mental note to ask Vera if we should record lessons or even make flashcards to quiz them later on.I knew the expectations of a ranked female could be daunting. When I’d realized that becoming Jasper’s mat

    **Logan POV**8:45 am. Like clockwork. I heard the howl emanating from my father before listening to his retreating footsteps as he ran toward his love. In about 15 minutes, breakfast would be all but thrown at me by one of his more sadistic warriors (he always chose the meaner ones to look after me when he was gone, his way of trying to discourage any “funny business” on my part), and after that, the coast would be clear to begin my exit.I stuffed my face with the near-inedible breakfast food I was given. My father was hesitant to give me anything of more than mediocre nutritious value. He wasn’t as oblivious as I gave him credit for, he knew our bloodline, and he knew I wasn’t the type to just submit without some serious beating down. Combine that with the fact he already knew I was a better fighter than I let on and the only conclusion he could draw was that any hope he had in keeping me prisoner for long enough to execute his plan was to keep me hungry and thus in a slightly weak

    **Jade POV**I finished my shower in record time before quickly raking all the products I’d been given through my hair and giving it a quick blowdry before throwing it up in a bun still slightly damp. I remembered how my hair kept getting in the way while I was trying to take notes yesterday and I wasn’t willing to deal with it again. I wanted it out of my face so I could focus on the tasks at hand. I flitted into the closet and selected a pair of navy blue slacks with small white checkers and a thick, white sweater. It was soft and cozy, yet still fashionable enough to show Vera I could dress the part of a luna. I grabbed a pair of flat dark brown loafers and threw them on before heading toward the door. Elliott was already gone, probably to check on warrior training or spend some time with his brother.Just before opening the door, I saw a small note on top of a beautiful black leather bound journal. “This is for you, princess. Take awesome notes and enjoy yourself! I’ll see you for

    **Elliott POV**The light was barely filtering in through the windows of my room when I heard a firm rapping on the door. I reluctantly got up, covering my naked mate with the heavy comforter so as not to accidentally let someone else see her glorious form and shrugged on my pants from the night before that lay discarded on the floor next to the bed. I heard Jade pout in her sleep once the warmth of my body was gone, but she didn’t wake up.When I opened the door, I saw before me a very unenthused looking Emma. “Cleo banged on my door about 5 minutes ago. She said Jade and I have a half an hour to be dressed and in her office for our next lesson, and she asked me to make sure Jade got up and at em while she works on breakfast and coffee for us.” She was rubbing her eyes and yawned twice while she was attempting to get the sentence out, but I nodded and stifled a chuckle at her disheveled appearance. Someone had definitely chosen the wrong night to have so many drinks. I wondered to my

    **Jade POV**I’d woken up to Elliott gently shaking me awake from my dream. Or was it a memory? I could feel cold beads of sweat forming all up and down my body, I felt chilled as if I really had been trudging through snow for hours.There was something about the dream that resonated with me, that told me it was real. “It feels real to me too,” Astrid said almost as a question in my head.None of this made any sense. Vera and William would’ve told me if I’d had any siblings. I’d asked Elliott point blank, and he’d told me he didn’t remember me having any siblings. I’d begun to wonder if there was a possibility that Emma and I had known each other at Mystic Moon once Sebastian suggested it, but I’d fallen asleep before I could really think through it. The thought of knowing Emma before going to River Bed was odd and difficult enough to work through. Now I somehow knew my mate’s best friend? And not just knew him, I was to believe I was related to Jasper? And if my dream was real on any
