**Title: When Broken Stars Drift Across Empty Midnight Skies by Troy Mason Venn**
**Chapter 39: Kick My Ass**
**Unknown’s p.o.v.**
Am I really dreaming? This can’t possibly be real. I take a moment to shut my eyes, shaking my head in disbelief. When I finally open them again and glance back at the front porch, the space appears empty, devoid of any trace of what I thought I saw. Yet, deep down, I know I witnessed something extraordinary. Still, I need to confirm the truth of this bizarre occurrence before I reach out to my father to share my discovery. I hadn’t planned to be here today, but as I stand on the cusp of this revelation, I’m grateful that I decided to visit my best friend earlier than expected. This unexpected trip grants me a few precious days to uncover the mystery that has captivated my mind.
It isn’t until dinner that I finally get the validation I sought. The earlier vision was no figment of my imagination; I am staring at the undeniable proof right before me. How can this even be happening? My thoughts race as I attempt to piece together the fragmented puzzle in my mind, but clarity eludes me. Something crucial is missing from this scenario, and I can’t help but question why I failed to notice it during my previous visits to the Autumn Pack.
The murmurs around me provide at least part of the answer. This girl isn’t from the Autumn Pack, which explains why she remained invisible to me until today. With a few strategically placed inquiries, I learn that she hails from the Crimson Moon Pack and is assisting the future Alpha and Luna in organizing their bookkeeping—an assignment that no high-ranking Lycan from either Pack seems eager to tackle.
After dinner, I find a quiet corner to make a call home, but to my frustration, nobody is picking up their phones. Normally, those devices are practically glued to their hands, yet when I need them to respond, it feels as if they’ve all been tossed into the depths of the ocean. I need to keep a close watch on her, to discover whether she has a Mate or if she possesses any awareness of her true identity. Does she even realize that she descends from the original Alpha bloodline of the Blood Stone Pack?
**Noah’s p.o.v.**
Today feels off, just like the last few days, and we all know exactly where this unsettling feeling originates. We didn’t fully believe our Angel when she spoke, even though every fiber of my being was screaming that she was telling the truth. Thankfully, yesterday was filled with training and learning the intricacies of our new roles, which are just a step beyond what a Head Warrior typically does. This morning, Nathan emerged from his bedroom with a grin plastered across his face, only to provoke Nikolay’s irritation. It was baffling to see him so cheerful on a day when our Angel was absent.
