IZZY POVI lay on the bed and stretched. It was nice to be back on a mattress after a few days on rocks. Reese and mom had taken the gas out of one of the snow machines and put it into the other so that they could make it to the nearest the village. They were back a day later with two snow machines and lunch.That night I slept in a room in the only hotel in the little town that Reese and mom had found. They had four rooms and we had rented three. We were most definitely an oddity, and I was sure it would be a matter of time before word got to Toby that this was where we had ended up. So be it. I was ready for a fight.Reese came in and his eyes dilated. “Do that again,” he ordered.“What?” I teased. “This?” I stretched again, pointing my toes and stretching my arms, my back cracking. Reese pounced and the bed creaked before the legs gave way and we were

CALEB POVThe plan was simple. We go in, attack, burn everything to the ground and leave. Those who survive our initial attack will be given the option to surrender or die. That was pretty much it.I had been watching the satellite imaging since I first got it a few hours ago. Sergio was able to get me access and he pulled some strings so for the next forty eight hours I had visuals. I didn’t know how he did it, other than it was a lot of grumbling on his part and him assuring me that his debt to me was paid in full because he had to call in a bunch of favors to get me access. I didn’t care. If we pulled this off, we would never need Sergio’s talents again.I switched to thermal imaging and watched the red bodies of the humans move about the compound. The vampires didn’t show up on thermal, but the shifters did. I could tell that the compound had received some sort of word because the

IZZY POVCaleb gave me a kiss on the forehead. “Goddess speed,” he whispered, and then he turned back to his radio, headset and computer screen. The battle had already started.Griz and I ran across the tarmac and climbed into the helicopter. The pilot looked back at us. “Ready?” he asked. I nodded and the aircraft lifted with a sickening lurch. I held on and snuck a glance at Griz. He looked determined, which was the look he generally had.We didn’t talk. We knew what the plan was, and we knew that we would get it done. I was told that Cornelius had the house built the same way the home he had me imprisoned in, so the floorplan was familiar, kind of. It had been twelve and a half years since I was taken captive.The chopper crossed over the ground quickly. I looked down and saw the tracks that the snow machines took and, as we got closer, evidence of bat

IZZY POV“You should shift, little Izzy,” Toby said in his mocking voice. “Make it a fair fight for yourself.”“You first,” I said, moving down the hall a little. I was trying to move the fight as far away from Griz as possible. Toby took a step towards me. “I don’t need a wolf to defeat you, Izzy,” Toby said. I shrugged. “Whatever you think,” I agreed. “I’ll just have Heka chill out for a bit.” I backed up a few more steps. Griz groaned but did not move. I risked a glance at him.Toby turned and gave him a look. “Damn. I really thought I killed the monster. No matter. I’ll kill you and finish him off afterwards if he hasn’t bled to death by then.” He gave me a sick grin. “I hope he hangs on. I’d love to mess with him a little.”I knew he was trying to get a reaction out of me, and it worked. With a scream of rage, I ran towards Toby. He grinned, holding the second spear with a ghoulish grin. I waited until the last second then went low, aiming a flying kick at his

IZZY POVWith a groan I let go of Toby’s neck and painfully pushed him off from me. It took a couple of tries to push his dead weight completely off from my body. I finally freed myself and climbed to my knees, using the wall to pull myself up. Then I painfully walked over to the spear that Toby had lost.I bent down and picked it up, hefting it in my hand, then I walked back to Toby’s body. I gripped the spear with both hands and raised it above my head. With as much strength as I could muster, I drove the spear down through his body, piercing his heart and driving the tip of the spear into the floor underneath him. I dropped my hands to my side and staggered back, trying to catch my breath. I could see Griz’s body out of the corner of my eye and he was still in the same position he was when he had fallen over after stabbing Toby.I began moving as fast as I could, beginning to panic sob. “Griz,” I gasped out.I dropped to my knees beside his body and ran my hands over him f

IZZY POVThe second that Griz sat up, Troi took to the air again. This time, when our enemies saw her, they threw down their weapons and surrendered.With pops all around, our warriors shifted back and began to get dressed in winter wear. The enemies were all gathered together in an outbuilding with Troi’s Kunisada, Tyra, in charge.“I can’t believe Troi showed up,” Ethan gushed.“I can’t believe she can fly,” I said weakly. Troi and I had just gotten done healing all of our warriors. With her help, we had no casualties, but I was still tired and, to be honest, overwhelmed.“I can’t believe she flew all the way up here. She must have been pissed that we left her behind,” Reese said. He shielded his eyes and looked up. We could hear a helicopter in the distance.“We expecting company?” I asked warily.“Caleb,” E

IZZY POVThe plane touched down and I unbuckled my belt with a sigh. Troi uncurled herself from the floor around my ankles and stretched. I looked over and saw that Kat was curled up on the couch in the back of the plane and Griz was sitting bolt upright in the chair beside me. He looked worried.“What’s up big guy?” I asked. We hadn’t really had the opportunity to talk since leaving the compound. I had thought it would be a fight to get Griz to come home with me. To my surprise, he agreed without so much as a complaint. He usually refused to leave when there were still loose ends, one time explaining to me that he slept better when he knew what the outcomes were. I got it. I sometimes had nightmares that Cornelius was still alive, and I think it would have helped if I could have seen his death.“Do you think you could not tell Destiny what happened to me at the compound?”

ETHAN POVI kissed the top of Izzy’s head and she groaned, pulling the blanket over her. I smiled, patting the bump that was her butt through the blanket. “I’ll see you down in the dining room for breakfast,” I whispered. My brothers had already gone downstairs and it was just her and me.“Not this morning,” she begged. “I’m too tired.”I frowned. This was unlike Izzy. When we returned from the north, she had listened to our report and then promptly went to bed. We were all tired, emotionally and physically, and we had all thought she was just recovering slower than she usually did. It had been over a week, and she was still really tired and I was starting to worry.“I’ll have something sent up,” was all I said. I didn’t want to worry her. I walked out into our sitting room and Troi came with me, twining around my

EPILOGUE TALIA POV “Coming!” I answered my mom, looking in the mirror and tucking my hair behind my ear. Today was my eighteenth birthday and I was officially going to introduce my wolf to the Pack. I had technically been able to shift since I was a baby, but we had managed to keep that a secret from almost everyone, though it had been a close call a few times. My brothers were coming back from Mongolia with their mate, Zaria, and their friend, Leo, to help celebrate my birthday. They were on some sort of a mission for the Council, but they got permission to come home for this event. They were twelve years older than me and I liked to tease them about being old. They didn’t think I was as funny as I knew I was. They were cool, though, and all my friends loved my brothers. Their mate was also pretty awesome. She was the daughter of our Beta and one heck of a warrior. She went to the same camp my grandmama was accepted to. Only the best warriors are allowed to go. I ran

IZZY POV I rubbed my swollen belly and sat down behind my desk with a sigh. Baby girl was seriously a week overdue, and I was over being pregnant. I wanted to meet my Talia and that moment couldn’t come soon enough. A lot had happened in the three months since the Summer Solstice Celebration. Elder Voltaire had officially asked permission to join our pack and he put in his retirement notice to the Vampire Council. Apparently, serving as head Council Member for three hundred years was enough for him. We gave the Blood Moon Pack to Griz and Destiny. We talked a long time about it and had first asked Leo if he was interested in taking over for his father. He had vehemently turned down our offer, insisting that he never wanted to see the Blood Moon Pack again. When we had gone to visit, I could see why. The pack needed a lot of work and there was a general sense of discourse. Griz and Destiny agreed to take on the Pack with Griz being named the first non-wolf Alpha of a Pack.

IZZY POV“So what do you do, Elias?” Reese asked. I could see his nostrils flaring a little to see if he was a wolf. I didn’t sense a wolf in him, but I wasn’t going to ask. It was kind of like asking someone’s religion or income. If they offer the information, we could talk about it. But only if they offer it.“I’m a bounty hunter,” he said. Kat was clinging to his arm.“A supernatural bounty hunter,” she corrected. “He works for the Council, believe it or not.”Elias smiled. “Kind of. They hire me on occasion. I work for myself,” he corrected her gently.“Sorry,” she said, smiling. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. I grinned. I was so happy for my friend.“Tell us about one of your captures,” Destiny asked. She was next to Griz,

IZZY POV“How are you doing?” I asked Destiny. We were busy hanging decorations around the backyard, and it was the first time I had a moment alone with her in a week. I knew she was feeling really guilty about Kat leaving.She shrugged. “I’m okay. I just feel awful every time I look at Griz. I never intended for her to leave. I just wanted her to be more careful.”I dropped the streamer I was holding and put my arm around her. “I know. And so does everyone else, including Kat. She just needed a change. She spent so much time and effort making sure every part of Cornelius was destroyed that she doesn’t know what to do now. She’s just trying to find her place.”Destiny sighed. “Tell Griz that. He is worried about her.”“She’s moving around pretty quickly,” I offered. “I think sh

IZZY POVThey say a Luna’s work is never done. They’re right.I got back and had my bath and some alone time with my mates, but the pack business didn’t slow down. I was involved in the planning of the half-way house we were building as well as another youth center. I approved budgets and began working on the nursery upstairs, a room we hadn’t used in eight years. And then I began to plan the summer solstice celebration, a tradition that we had upheld since we first started it thirteen years ago.“Black and white this year?” Destiny asked. “I hate black and white,” Lucy said. “It makes everything look so formal and this should be fun.”“Okay. Black and gold?” Destiny was relentless. Lucy threw a wadded up napkin at her.“You only want black because you love it,” Lucy accused her.Destiny shrugged.&

IZZY POVThe gavel dropped and the room exploded. I turned and Kat flew into my arms, hugging me. She wasn’t normally demonstrative, and I was pleased. I needed someone to hug right now, and Kat was perfect.She was also a great bodyguard. She pulled me through the reporters at the door and only got tripped up by one of the fae reporters who used projection to try to block us. Kat pushed him over and got me out of there and into a taxi without further incident.“Keystone Airport,” she told the taxi driver, naming a private airport. I was guessing that my mates had communicated with her.“I can’t wait to get back to the pack,” I said, leaning against the back seat. “I’m exhausted. I just want a bath and an uninterrupted night of sleep.”“I’m not going back with you,” Kat said suddenly. I sat up.“Why?

IZZY POVThe twenty-four members of the Councils filed out, leaving me standing at my table, still in the handcuffs. Thanks to Johan, the handcuffs were the normal ones that they used in the human world which meant I could break them if I needed to, but I wasn’t going to. I wanted the shifter world to see what was going on.After the council members left, Kat walked over to me bringing a couple of chairs. She plopped them down and I gratefully sat. “Did you have a vision earlier?” she asked.I nodded, rubbing my forehead. “Was it obvious?”“To me,” she answered. “I know you. I was about ready to create a diversion.”I chuckled. “You’re a good friend,” I said. A look crossed her face for a second but then disappeared. I had said something that bothered her. Curious.Her phone chirped and she looked at it.&n

REESE POVThere was an outburst from the spectators in the viewing area. The main werewolf and main vampire council members were banging their gavel, telling people to be quiet. We all exchanged grins.“We are not the ones on trial here, Luna,” the main vampire council member said fiercely.“No. You’re not. I am. And I am telling you why I had to do what I did,” Izzy said. She turned to the werewolf council again.“Who among you believed that the prophecy from Nehum thirteen years ago was about me?” She kept eye contact until all twelve members had their hands raised. “And who among you thought that the prophecy was also about my sons?” The same twelve hands were raised.“And the same on the vampire side?” she asked, turning. Reluctantly, some of their heads nodded. The others resolutely ignored her, keeping thei

REESE POV“This session will now come to order.” We were watching the trial on television. The Council, in their infinite wisdom, had decided at the last minute to broadcast the trial on a special encrypted channel that Packs would have access to. We had turned it on first thing this morning when we woke up, looking at an empty room somewhere in Salt Lake. We were watching when the members from both Councils filed in, twenty-four in total. Johan was part of the werewolf council. Alessia had gasped when she saw him take his seat.They had brought Izzy in with handcuffs on. I had roared, losing control of my wolf, but Alessia had wrestled me down. “It’s for show,” she had soothed me. “They’re not silver. Just look. She’s fine. She can break them in a second.” Vin was not convinced but at least he gave me control back.“Isadora Killian, Luna of the Moonstone Pack, you were called before the Council today to answer to an entire list of charges. But you were not the only one
