‘We need to find an Alpha and a pack, Andreas. I can’t continue to be a rogue. We’re pack animals. This is killing me,’ Ares says dejectedly, as we run through the trees at the back of the Moonstone pack territory. ‘I know, buddy. But it’s not safe. We can’t return home, and joining a pack puts them in danger. So instead, we need to concentrate on finding out who attacked our pack and why. And we need to find the other lycans that are like us.’‘I know,’ he sighs. ‘Do you think Athena is still here?’‘Noah said that she left the motel with the pack Beta, so I assume they came back here. Hopefully, the old man at reception gave her our number.’ ‘Do you think she’ll call?’‘If I was her, I probably wouldn’t with what’s been happening.’Ares stops suddenly, his hackles raised. ‘Someone is coming. If their warriors see us coming this way, they will attack,’ Ares warns. ‘We need to get off their territory. Over there, up the hill a bit,’ I instruct Ares. He turns in that direction, runni

I take the remote from Jason and change the screen back to Doctor Shields. I stare at him, trying to get a read on him. His arms are crossed as he leans back in the chair with a slight smirk on his lips.“He doesn’t even seem concerned that he’s been caught,” I say.“I need to call the Elder council. They need to know about the banishments,” Alpha Peter says.I turn to look at him, and all I see is defeat in his eyes. “Please, Alpha. Let me question him. He might slip up talking to me. I can play on his fear of the chosen,” I plead with him.He glares at me, the defeat in his eyes replaced with anger. “No. You have no place in that room. This is my pack, remember that.” He says with a growl.“I know this is your pack, Alpha. I meant no disrespect,” I say cooly, holding his gaze.Nick clears his throat. “Alpha, we need to tell you something,” he says.“What now?” Alpha Peter asks, turning his angry gaze to Nick.“Athena and I went for a run before the meeting, and Athena picked up on an

“Athena…? Athena, wake up, honey.”I groan, not wanting to wake up yet. I open my eye and see my mom standing over me. “Mom? What’s wrong?” “Nothing, sweetheart. The doctor just needs to look at your eye,” she tells me as the door to the room opens and Doctor Connors comes in. “Hi, Miss Argos,” Doctor Connors says as she leans over me. “I just need to remove the bandages to check how your eye is healing,” she explains. I nod and slowly sit up, and she removes the bandages wrapped around my head that are covering my right eye. As the last bit comes off, and she removes the gauze, the light above me burns my eye.“Argh!” I yell, covering my eye with my hand.“Try not to touch it, Miss Argos. Is the light hurting it?” Doctor Connors asks.“Yeah, it stings like a bitch,” I say, dropping my hand and trying to avoid the light.“Light sensitivity is normal. This is good. It means your vision may not have been affected,” she says, pausing for a moment. “There’s still a lot of swelling, and

Andreas P.O.VI pace the small area of the cave, raking my hand through my hair every two minutes.‘We’d know if she was dead, wouldn’t we?’ I ask Ares, the tremor in my voice giving away how worried I am.‘We haven’t marked her. So no, we won’t know anything,’ Ares says, just as worried.‘FUCK! I need to know if she’s okay.’ I squat down, rubbing my hands roughly over my face. After a moment, I stand up and walk over to the cave’s opening and look out over the Moonstone territory. It’s a beautiful, clear night with a bright moon shining down on me. I raise my gaze to the moon and pray to the moon goddess that Athena is okay. ‘Maybe we should see if we can get to the hospital and find her,’ I say after a while.‘They’ve had extra patrols out looking for us. It isn’t safe,’ Ares warns.‘I don’t care! I need to know that she’s okay!’‘I’m just as worried as you are, Andreas. But we’re no good to her if we’re dead,’ he says, trying to calm me.As I look over to the pack house, I sigh and

My hands tremble as I place my phone on the side table, and I fall back on to the hospital bed. “Wow.” I whisper. His voice was deep and silky smooth, like melted chocolate, and the thought of seeing him tomorrow is giving me butterflies.‘I thought we didn’t have time for a mate,’ Enyo says smugly.‘I can’t help it. Even his voice draws me to him,’ I say, a blush creeping up my cheeks.‘Dumb-dumb, that’s the mate bond. And things are only going to get worse,’ she says as she sighs contentedly.‘At least having a mate might calm you down a bit,’ I say cheekily.‘Don’t count on it.’A knock on the door brings me back to reality. “Come in,” I call out.The door opens, and I see Ryna’s smiling face as he comes in. Then Gino, Rynas’ mate, comes in behind him.“Well, well. If it isn’t my two favorite men.” I smile from ear to ear, their presence making me feel instantly better.“For now,” Ry grins as he walks over to the bed. “I hear there’s a mate in the picture,” he chuckles as he envelop
