What do you think of Grace's confrontation with her father?
After speaking with Jack, Grace and I head back to our cabin. We’re only there for a moment when Angel and Liam knock. “May we come in?” Angel asks. I stand back, gesturing for them to enter. “Of course.” Grace puts on a pot of coffee, and we sit in the small seating area of the cabin. “You saw m
“Amber, you’re a great warrior. Why are you so nervous?” Grace asks and I swear I see Amber’s lip tremble. If it’s this stressful for her to compete, I’ll remove her. It’s Carlos who answers. “She’s afraid she’ll disappoint both of you.” “Amber, you’re here. We’re already proud of you. You have no
I follow Amber to her fight. Our pack looks like they have divided themselves between Carlos and Amber, but not surprisingly, most are watching Carlos. They want to see him take down his brother’s Beta. Cara comes over to stand beside me. “Dustin took his guy down in two hits.” “Nice!” She nods h

I knew Guardians were powerful. Every werewolf hears about the Guardians at a young age. There is a reason Alphas covet them. But, knowing they are powerful and actually seeing the results of that power are very different. Watching Grace take down nearly 1000 hunters all at once was mind boggling.
The ride home is long, made longer because of the stress of how the tournament ended. Thankfully, Grace is feeling better, and Cara and Angel agreed they are as well. That, at least, isn’t something I need to worry about. Our injured pack members have mostly healed overnight. Those that haven’t will
