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.”

    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

    NATALIE“Alpha, Luna, this one begs your forgiveness.”Huh?! I stare in disbelief at his bowed head, unable to comprehend what it is I am seeing and hearing.Pan, apologizing.To me.When I first saw him awake and walking toward us, a lot of scenarios flashed through my mind.This… is not what I was expecting.The living room falls into a hushed silence as we all watch him, his head still bowed towards Damien and me with unexpected formality.I and Damien share a surprised look with one another, his brows furrowed in confusion. As we all try to make sense of what is happening, whispers ripple through the crowd, snippets of gossip and speculation reaching my ears.“What is wrong with Pan?”"Did you see that bow? He has never been so respectful like that before?”"What's going on with him?""Is this some kind of alpha ceremony?"“Is she forcing him to do this?”Great.At least, the two are as confused as us.A mixture of surprise and apprehension churns in my stomach as I try to ignor

    DAMIEN."I think we should be honest with them.""What?!"I turn to look at Natalie in shock.*You want to tell them the truth?" I ask. "Are you joking?""Think about it. What half truths can we tell them that wouldn't backfire on us? Damien," she says as she gets up and walks towards me. "We don't even know half of what is going on.""I don't know," Lucas says. "It can go either way.""Yes, it can," Anya speaks up. "It can go really bad. The pack might turn against us, some might leave, and some might challenge the Alpha for his position. We might never recover. But on the other hand, we might get support. "They might appreciate the fact that you are being honest with them. That even though you don't have all the answers, you still worry for them and trust them with the truth. It is an opportunity where we might even find how far their loyalty goes. One thing, I know, is that it can't remain this way. Not after today, too many strange things have happened."I stare at her for a whil

    NATALIE.“I think I am going to be sick,” I say to my wolf as my eyes survey the crowd.“This was your idea,” she retorts.“It isn't a bad idea, I just… didn't know how much crowds make me nervous.”“I never said it was a bad idea. It is a very wise one and I am proud of you. But talking and doing are two different things.”“Clearly.”“Are you okay?” Damien’s voice brings me out of my conversation with her.We are both standing at a corner of the podium that was hastily put together for the meeting.Once we had all agreed on what to say, Lucas had gone to prepare the grounds. We were in a wide expanse of land where no trees were planted. Apparently, it was left that way for situations like this.Lucas had a wooden stage built and had it covered with a red carpet. He had then had the message passed that the Alpha -and Luna- have called a meeting.And so here we are.A fast growing crowd and me about to throw up.“Is it too late to go hide in my room?” I ask him. “Is that what you want

    MAYA.The dimly lit room echoes with the tension in my voice as I demand answers."Tell me what you are!"Alaric's smirk dances with shadows. "What do you think I am?" he asks."I don't have time for your games!" I snap. Frustration claws at my patience, making my words sharp. “You have been speaking in hurdles ever since I woke up and I am done with it. Tell me what you are or I walk.”"Games, dear Maya, are all we have time for," he replies cryptically, his gaze never leaving mine. “And you can try to leave of course, I have never stopped you from doing what you want.”I stare at him for a while longer, trying to force him to give in but he doesn't.Instead, he looks amused. Like this is fun for him.Tanya was right.There is something wrong with him.Without another word, I turn away from him and head back to the room we were staying, my legs already starting to shake.Just what sort of poison was in those trees?

    DAMIEN.I watch in delighted mischief as Lucas keeps staring at Mirabel like a demented fool. Completely besotted by a woman he just met.Man, I am going to tease him so badly when we are free.Mr. I don't want a mate, I like my peace too much.What a sucker.But right now, we have a serious issue to handle.“Get yourself under control, Lucas!” I bark at him through the mindlink and watch as he starts into attention, his eyes flickering to me.“Mate,” he whispers to me, eyes wide and lost and it takes all of my strength to not break into a smile.“I know,” I tell him. “But right now, her mother is in trouble. You remember who I am talking about. Fredja?”“Fredja,” he repeats. “Fredja, eight. Sorry. Let's get back to business.”Once I am sure that he is back to his normal self, I turn back to the rest and notice that they are all watching the both of us.“Sorry about that,” I say out loud. “Lucas here is a very good friend of Fredja, in addition to being extremely worried about her w

    DAMIENWith a startled gasp, I rear up, alert despite it being just past two in the morning.I leap off the bed and out of the room, hurrying towards Lucas’s room.Ramming my gist on it, I shout, “Wake up, Lucas?! Wake up, we have got a problem!”A few more raps and the door swings open.“You know, this is becoming a habit, “ he mutters as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and yawns. “A terrible habit. Which mountain is on fire?”He is dressed in just boxer briefs, that looks like he just put it on.“Fredja,” I state.Instantly, he comes alert, blue eyes trained on me and intensely focused.“What about Fredja? What happens to her? Is she alright? I swea-”“We think the council is with Void,” I tell him.“The council. The high council? The one she has been with all this while? How, why? Wait, who is we?”“Me and Natalie.”“Natalie? The Luna is back?”“No. She did some weird thing with my dreams but anyway, think about it. Alaric said there were a lot of witches in Void’s army.

    NATALIE“You can't do that!” I exclaim.I am still sitting there stunned by her remark.What does she mean to come back as a mortal? The whole reason this mess started is because she came as a moral in the first place.“Why not?” she asks with a pout. “I want to experience life with my offspring.”I stare at her, absorbing the weight of the Moon Goddess's words, my mind reeling with disbelief. Can you believe this?"I get your reason but I do t think you coming back would be the best decision. I mean, what would the others say?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, filled with a mixture of concern and trepidation. "You know the risks. The consequences. The ban on deities entering the mortal realm..."The Moon Goddess regards me with a serene expression, her eyes reflecting the wisdom of countless ages. "I understand your worry, Natalie," she says softly, her voice carrying a weight that seems to echo through the very air of the room. "But I am tired of hiding. Of paying for my mis

    DAMIEN“...her lover is - was Void.”“Damien,” Harvey calls my name, already showing signs of frustration. “You are really pushing this too far. What do you mean Void was the moon goddess’s liver? How?”“Look, I don't know. And I am not entirely motivated to know. I have told you what Natalie relayed to me, that is it,” I say.“Wait,” Steven interrupts. “If Void was her lover, doesn't that mean that your mate has blood ties - or whatever it is they have - with him?”“Yes. That is exactly what it means. Natalie has the power of two deities running through her veins.”“Wow,” Cain remarks. “You really hit the bag with your mate. How does it feel to have deities as parent in laws?” he asks with a smirk.“Not great,” I reply, and then turning to Harvey, I ask. “What plan do you have in mind to get into Void’s camp?”THANDRAL- WORLD OF THE DEITIES ONE OF THE OTHER WORLDS.NATALIE.I collapse into the lush mattress that feels like clouds.“I am best,” I groan into it.“Long day?” a tinkling

    DAMIEN.As we sit in the living room, our thoughts preoccupied with the issue before us, I can't help but have the stray thought that we will fail.That we are not united enoughThat I am not trusted enough.That I am not enough and that I am going to fail Natalie.“Damien,” Harvey’s voice cuts through the haze of doubt and as it reaches my ears.I look up at him in question and I see his calm green eyes focused on me.“Don't fret too much. We know the truth, all we have to do is find a way to bring it to light, and in all my years that I have lived, I know there is always a way.”“Hmm,” I hum as I send him a small but grateful smile.“So-”Cain is interrupted from whatever he wants to say by a sharp knock echoing through the room, bringing with it a semblance of normality.That despite the issues and trials and the impossibility that face us, life still goes on.Wow.I sound sentimental.That's what spending hours training side by side with Lucas will get you.Unfailing optimism.It'

    DAMIEN“Oh, come on!” The exclamation rings out from one of the pack members as he collapses to the floor thanks to the maneuver g of his spar partner.“You cheated!”“Did not! You are just slow?”“You-”“Enough.”The voice cuts through the clearing, causing us all to turn to face him.“Let's take ten.”As soon as Alaric signals for a break in the training, exhaustion washes over the pack members like a tidal wave. We collapse onto the grass, gasping for breath, our bodies trembling from the intensity of the workout. I wipe the sweat from my brow, feeling the burn of exertion in my muscles.“Thank the goddess,” I pant. “The man is a demon.”It is the third day of training and my muscles are screaming at me in protest.I thought I was good. That my training was up to par if not one of the best.Boy, was I wrong.Alaric has broken, crushed, and destroyed all of my previous acclaim with his own regiment of training.If I was a weaker, insecure man, I would have already called it quits.

With Natalie gone and communicating with Ha-”“Natalie is gone?” he asks, interrupting me. His ice blue eyes are even more startling with their intensity. “Gone where? When did she go? Was it because of Maya? What happ-”“Calm your titties. One question at a time,” I say, already out of breath from the onslaught of questions.“Okay. Okay. Where did she go?”“I don't know.”“What?! What do you mean you don't know?”“I mean I don't know the exact place she is. All I know is that she went to the word of deities,” I tell him.“Oh, I see.

    DAMIENPOW!SMACK!The sounds of sparring echo in one of the training rooms as I land another hit on Lucas.Harvey had left not too long after our conclusions to convince the other Alphas -which is a huge load off for me. The idea of brown nosing people is still unappealing to me, regardless of the reason.In the well lit training room, the air hangs heavy with anticipation as Lucas and I continue our face off. The space is expansive, with high ceilings that seem to stretch into darkness above us. The walls are lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, reflecting our every move as we circle each other. The polished wood floor beneath our feet is worn smooth from countless hours of training, marked with scuff marks and scratches that tell the stories of past sparring matches.In one corner of the room, a small alcove holds a rack of training equipment—padded gloves, punching bags, and agility cones—all waiting to be used in the pack’s quest for improvement.
