Chapter 41

PerrinIt was a rare day indeed when my father chose to forgo Charlie’s chauffeur services and to drive his own car.Personally, I never really understood the rush of driving; the twins loved their motorcycles. I enjoyed the quiet backseat and my own thoughts.But not this morning. And my father apparently shared the same love of the road that my best friend and Beta did, as he was on pace to put in record speed on the way to the infirmary. I grinned, thinking of the confused and slightly terrified look on Charlie’s face as we sped out of the pack house parking lot. We made our way inside, greeting Lorrie and heading back. To my surprise, we met Jennivah in the hall prior to racing Jesamine’s suite.“Good morning Alpha, Alpha Select,” she said.“Good morning, Ascended Jennivah,” my father said in return with equal formality. “Is my wife here?”Jennivah blinked. “I’m sorry, Alpha. I thought she was with you.”“Why would she be with me?” my father said. “She’s always here first thing.”

Chapter 42

PerrinSeth was nowhere to be seen when I returned to training, but I realized that I was content to drill myself into the ground with my newfound conviction. Gowan’s intention of getting near Jesamine and my son was never going to happen. And three hours had passed before I realized I was late to training with my father.Knowing that I’d likely face an angry Alpha for being late, I quickly showered and rushed over to the pack house. But as I reached the door to my father’s office, I heard shouting. Based on the voices, Mark and Seth had joined my father. And whatever was being discussed was not going over well.“Come in!” My father barked from inside, interrupting Seth. “You’re late.”I bit my tongue at the retort I wanted to share about him already being busy, but was wise enough to refrain. I slipped quietly into the room and secured the door behind me. “He threatened your son!” Seth shouted, pointing in my direction. It wasn’t like Seth to shout, especially at my father. And jud

Chapter 43

Perrin“I don’t know where she’s gone,” I said, panting as I reached my father’s office. I had sprinted up the stairs and explained quickly what had happened.Mark and Seth, all interest in our previous conversation now on hold, left my father’s office quickly in search of Kira.“That was a clever trick,” my father said, rounding his desk to sit on the sofa. “I never underestimated Ethan, that much is true.”“It wasn’t meant to be a trick,” I said, unable to sit down. “It was meant to be a fail safe.”He eyed my pacing from where he sat. “Because you didn’t trust her?”“Because we care about her!” I growled. I didn’t care how I was coming off to my father. “They better find her,” I added, pulling out my phone. I sent Kira a text, asking her to call me. I didn’t expect a response.“Perrin, you need to focus. Nael will be calling us shortly,” my father said. “Are you prepared for this conversation?”“Truthfully? No.” I flopped down on the couch, frustrated and exhausted.The door to his

Chapter 44

PerrinDeidre was in charge of the press, ensuring she saw any story Nael tried to leak to either our pack or his own. My father had left immediately to speak with Janas about patrols for the next week as we had no idea how long he would stay. And after calling Mark as I left the pack house, there was no sign of Kira anywhere. At least not yet.By the time I had left the infirmary, I was exhausted. Gowan’s accommodations had been less than luxurious and nothing compared to Jesamine’s suite. Even moving him to a larger space wouldn’t prevent him from saying as much to Nael.I walked out beneath the soft orange of the setting sky, breathing the clean air, trying to rid my lungs of the lingering scents of sterile cleaner and hospital sheets.I wasn’t sure what I had done would be enough. I wasn’t sure what I had done was right. My discussion with Gowan hadn’t gone as I had expected, and I felt myself fighting for control as my nails dug into my palms, clenched into fists and on the verge

Chapter 45

DeidreAfter ensuring Kira was fine; passed out and sleeping but in no danger of throwing up again, I had gone to see my husband.I had braced for it. Knew that he wouldn’t be pleased with what I had done. How I had spoken to Mistra. In fact, he was enraged. It was the first time I had seen him this angry at me in a very, very long time.He had told Mark to leave. Dismissed everybody in the adjacent offices so that they wouldn’t hear his howling rage as he tore into me.I took it. I knew I had to. Knew that I had no right to kick out the widow of his late Beta. My temper had gotten the better of me. I had withstood her for years… but Mistra has pushed me one time too many. She had little to no responsibility and all the privilege in the world. And what did she do with that privilege? Rolled around in the dirt all day? Couldn’t even make time to bathe? I could see his frustration mounting before me as I pleaded my case, shaking as I fought for my own control. “She almost let it slip!

Chapter 46

Deidre Pacing back and forth in my office like some caged animal, I wasn’t relishing the discussion I was going to have. Apologize? No. If Benjamin had really found my daughter drunk, then he wouldn’t have tried to hide it; tried to conceal her from me. “He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know!” Jennivah said from the chair, as if reading my mind. “He saw a–a friend? Or the Beta Select doing something that she shouldn’t have. He was worried for her. Maybe even a little protective. Can’t you forgive that?” My eyes narrowed. I had been mulling over the situation all night, tossing and turning in the empty bed while Jason was at the Lodge. Benjamin had preferred to study on the second level. He had admitted as much to me himself. So if Kira had been there, hiding out and getting drunk, then why wouldn’t he have noticed her there? What else could he have been doing? “Is he here yet?” I asked Jennivah. “No,” she admitted. She had been checking on the AA meeting for me to see if Benj

Chapter 47

Perrin“You’re joking.”I had told Kira everything. No. I had given Kira a brief synopsis.“What did Gowan say?”“It’s a long story,” I lied. It really wasn’t. My growing anxiety had me on edge, and the last thing I wanted to do was lose my temper again. I was still frustrated with Kira for running off. For not leaning on me when she needed me. And for the fights we had before. It all seemed so non-stop–“Fine,” she said, scowling. “Keep your secrets. It wouldn’t be the first time.”“Kira–”“Would you like my phone? So you can change a bunch of my other contacts?” She held it out to me, her chin pushed out in defiance. I pushed her hand away. “Can’t you see that it was for your own good?”She folded her arms across her chest. “Not trusting me is for my own good?”I stopped short of retorting, biting my lip. But my look must have said what I meant anyway. I couldn’t trust you. Look what you did.Kira nearly growled but kept walking, not wanting to go any further on the subject. But I

Chapter 48

PerrinThe bright light of the private hangar at the airport had me blinking uncomfortably, the sun glaring on the massive opening. “Should have brought sunglasses,” Kira murmured out the side of her mouth. “Not everyone can pull off the hangover look,” I grumbled back, eyes watering.She snorted, and I was grateful for that. She understood my unease. My anticipation. The fact that Nael was coming back to Aperture lands, despite my clear threat to Justin before they had left after the Sacred Call. My father, however, was still Alpha, as he reminded us in the car ride over from the Lodge. And until he enforced my warning to Justin and his father, it was nothing but an empty threat.And that was nothing for the anticipation that Lo may be arriving, at least, after nearly a month of being apart. I couldn’t sit still; not after realizing I had no way of contacting her concretely whatsoever. It was maddening, consuming even. What if she was hurt? Was she flying here, right now? On that p

Chapter 49

PerrinPainful. This entire situation was… painful.The few short miles to the infirmary seemed to stretch on for eternity. We hit every red light on the way there. I ground my teeth.“Relax,” Kira said soothingly from beside me. “I’m sure she’s fine.”“Don’t tell me to relax,” I shot back at her, pulling out my phone. I checked fruitlessly for another email; hopefully for a text. Nothing. I sent her a text to call me as soon as she could.Kira let out a deep breath, gazing out the window of the car. “What do you think Gowan’s going to do?”I folded my hands uncomfortably in my lap, righting the urge for one hand to rip the other apart. “Do you really think they’d kidnap him?” She continued. “I’m not sure Nael would see it as ‘kidnapping,’ exactly….”She turned impatiently towards me in her seat. “You know what I mean.”I shrugged. “We’ll have to see how it goes. If he comes back… escapes, I mean…” I trailed off, unsure of what to say next.“You think he would?” She asked, more curi

Chapter 50

Perrin“I can’t believe it!” Ethan was pacing around my room, just like he used to, having burst unannounced–and not unexpectedly–into my room. It wasn’t like I had been doing anything besides stare at my phone and hoping Lo would call.I felt restless. Listless. Like an untethered boat in a raging storm. And while I needed a distraction, I also couldn’t focus on anything. Ethan was the perfect solution. And so I kept my features carefully neutral as he recalled how his recent encounter with Gowan, Justin, and Nael had gone down.“Where is she, anyway?” Ethan said, as if suddenly realizing Kira wasn’t here.“She stayed for a meeting,” I said. “She already went this morning but another one this afternoon couldn’t hurt.”Ethan nodded, now consumed with concern once more for his sister. “Any clue what set her off?”I shrugged. “Honestly, I’m not sure. She was doing great. Training with the Alpha Guard, helping out at the Archives…”Ethan failed to stifle his laugh of surprise. “Kira’s b
