DAMIEN“Who is Tanya?” Natalie asks in the silence.“Tanya,” I start. “Tanya was Maya’s twin sister.”“Was?”“She had committed suicide after her mate died. Or at least, we thought she did.”“Oh, that is so sad. Wait, if she is dead, how come Lucas found her scent there?”“That is the question,” I say before turning back to Lucas. “Are you sure it was Tanya’s scent?” I ask.It will be so weird if it is.“We all grew up together, I know her scent. It was her.”So why hide? Why pretend to be dead all these years just so you can leave the pack? And why would Maya go along with this? What else is she hiding from me?“How did her mate die?” Natalie asks as we make our way to her quarters. “Maya, I mean.”We had stayed there to help with the wounded as much as possible, running around for supplies, and helping to hold people down in order for their bones to be set straight, and by the time we pleaded exhaustion, it was already late in the night.Thank the goddess for the witches, their pres

NATALIE.“What?!”His voice is filled with scandalized shock, it makes me giggle.“Our wolves’ names. Aren't you curious?” I ask.“I am,” he answers. “I just, I guess I didn't expect that you would- that you would want to do it. Now.”“Oh, no. Not now,” I exclaim. “I am just curious. I have always wanted to know my wolf’s name. About the… the other part, well, I wouldn't know how to start or go about it.”“Ah, yes. Well, what do you know?” he asks.“Not much. And I have a lot of questions,” I say.He gives a sort of flinch at the statement, making me stifle a giggle.Shouldn't I be the shy one here?“I am not saying we should do anything now,” I tell him. “But maybe we should be discussing it.”“Yes, definitely.”I wait a few more seconds, thinking he has something more to add.He doesn't.“So, what do you think?”“About what?”“About mating?”Has he gone dumb?“Um,” he says before closing his eyes in a bid to find his focus and then opening it after a few seconds. “I am going to be v

NATALIE.“What? What is it?” I ask them both.“Um, it's nothing. It is just…” Lucas starts.“Just what?” I ask. “Why did you decide to host a conference? It is not a difficult question, is it?”“No, it is not,” Damien says. “I just don't want you to be upset, when I tell you the answer. Can you promise that?” he asks as he takes my hands.“I promise,” I tell him.“Well, you see,” he starts. “When I had decided to have the mating ritual with Maya, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce her as the Luna through a conference.”“Ah, I see.”“Are you angry?” he asks.“No, no I am not.”And it is true. I am really not angry. Or sad. It is an understandable situation.“But what about now?” I ask. “The ritual didn't hold, you do not have a recognized Luna, what are you going to tell them?”“Well, we can still have that,” Lucas says. “The ritual. You are here now, the ritual can still hold.”Damien throws a quick glance my way at the statement. I don't know what he sees, but he turns

LUCAS.I figure that if I ignore the call, the person will stop and I can go back to sleep, but then I remember that the only ones who call the cell phones are the members outside the pack.The only one outside the pack is Maya.With a fast turn that makes my head dizzy, I reach for my phone.“Hello,” I say, voice groggy with sleep.“Hey, Lucas,” her familiar voice f>lyers through the phone.“Oh, thank the goddess. Maya. Are you okay? You are alive. Where are you? We will come get you.”“I am alright Luacs. I am safe.”“Where are you? We went searching for you, we found trails of blood and mayhem and what I am pretty sure is a car crash and then we were attacked. Maya, tell me, where are you? I need to see you and then beat you up for stressing me this much.”“Please, you couldn't beat me up even if I was tied up.”“Where are you, Maya?” I ask again. Why is she avoiding the question?“I can't tell you that.”“Maya-”“I know. And I am sorry. But I need to find the witch.”“That witch,

NATALIE.“This is mind numbing,” I groan as I slouch deeper into the chair.Anya chuckles at me as she flips over another page of the folders.Folders.She has folders and folders for this conference. All of them detailing different aspects of the conference.And the worst part, she seems to enjoy it.We have been working on the planning for four days now and I am more than ready -I am extremely eager- to drop it.Who knew planning a conference would be this exhausting? Certainly not me.We have spent every waking hour and every hour before sleep, with each other, going over details and yet, she still manages to look as fresh as a daisy every morning.Even now, her auburn hair cascades gracefully over her shoulders, as she sits elegantly poised with a clipboard ready to tackle today's challenges.It makes me a little mad, considering I look like a wild, stray cat that was dragged out of its own safe place of sleep.“I don't like this,” I tell her.“Yes. You have mentioned that a few

NATALIEFredja leads me out of the mansion and to the back where we had first had our training and past it.“Where are we going?” I ask her.“A place where you won't be able to hurt anyone,” she answered before turning back to Anya, who had been trailing after us. “You should stay behind,” she says to her. “Just to be safe.”Anya nods in response and halts right there. She doesn't leave, she doesn't move.An assurance that she would still be there when we return.I don't know why, but it makes me grateful and warm.I guess after the altercation, the assurance that I am loved and wanted and cared about, is a balm to me.The sun is high over its zenith casting shadows over the paved ground that slowly gives way to an uneven and rough earth. "Fredja," I begin as she continues to lead me deeper and my voice hesitant, "I can't shake the guilt about Pan. You said that that wasn't me, but I can't help but think I am the one that put him in the way of whatever that was.”We arrive at an ab

DAMIEN.“Here,” I say as I lean forward, fingers pointed at a dot on the map. “We will need extra wolves at the point, it is one of the grounds’ weak points and then extra perimeter patrols should be doubled during the night. Assign a couple of the Delta wolves the ones proven to have enhanced sensory perception to watch the outskirts."Seeing Natalie throw herself -albeit unwillingly- into the preparation for the conference had spurred me on to do the same. But while she and Anya are focused on the delicate intricacies of event planning, I am more focused on analyzing who is coming, the friendships and alliances, as well as security for my pack.Security always comes first.I do not trust them to not try and test our wolves and I am ready to show them that any thoughts of attacking us would be futile.“Hmm,” Lucas, his eyes scrutinizing the plans, nods in agreement. "Agreed. In addition, we should have the witches implement magical wards and sensors. Any unauthorized presence shou

DAMIEN.“What in the goddess name happened here?”His question is met with silence.Natalie has her head bent low while Fredja watches her.“Natalie?” I call as I move towards her only for her to flinch back.What?Why would she flinch from me?I turn to stare at Fredja in silent question and just as she is about to answer me, her gaze is caught by something behind me.“You might want to handle that first,” she says, her face still trained over my shoulders.I turn to look at what she is talking about and I see a fast growing crowd gathered behind us.Oh, no.Irritation grips me as a crowd gathers, their curious eyes fixed on Natalie. The whispered words that reach my ears don't help matters.“...she did it…”“...her again…”“...sort of Luna…”“...did to Pan…”“...witch…”The air thickens with tension as I hear those words, causing me to snap. "Leave. Now!" My alpha command cuts through the chaos, startling them.They begin to shuffle away but not fast enough. Their reluctance still
