It takes a while for Zalia to calm down. By the time her breathing steadies, she pushes me into a room while Nyx pulls Leander with her.

“Alpha Brad, what can I do for you?” I hear Benjamin ask. I realize everyone heard Twilight’s roar when Leander described Mandy’s Aunt

“We heard a roar and realized it came from your floor. What happened?” Alpha Brad aske

There’s a moment of silence before Benjamin responds. “We found a bottle of lotion in the kitchen. When i checked the security footage, Zalia lost control to Twilight. Here, see for yourself, Benjamin says.

I hear a female growl as I assume she watches the footage. Suddenly, multiple footsteps echo onto the Gamma floor.

“What are you doing here?” Alpha Brad demands.

“Zalia is our friend. When we heard Twilight’s roar, we came to investigate, someone answers.

Benjamin repeats what he told Alpha Brad.

Her friends insist on staying with her, but Alpha Brad points out that she’s in the Pack–house and there’s no need for them to remain.

“I’ll increase patrols around the Pack–house and add a few Warriors to the security detail inside,” he says before sending them home.

If I had to guess, those are Zalia’s other friends. They’ll likely return through the Omega stairwell, making it seem like they’re complying with Alpha Brad.

“Zalia, where’s that bottle of lotion?” an unfamiliar male voice asks. I wonder who he is and why he’s on the Gamma floor.

Zalia

The closer we get to Moon Stone Pack, the more agitated Twilight becomes. We have been wondering what Alpha Brad has planned, and the one thing that keeps popping into my mind is a forceful marking. There is a slight problem with that, though: they will need to sedate me for that to happen, and Donovan knows he isn’t strong enough to hold me down long enough for him to complete that task.

We go over every way they could try to sedate me, and I already informed Dad I wouldn’t be having dinner in the main dining room. I sure as hell won’t eat something I didn’t prepare myself. So with that covered, I tried to figure out which other ways they could come up with to sedate me, but the only thing I can come up with is a syringe, and I doubt they believe they can get close enough to me to pull that off.

It feels strange when I see Deimos walk off with Nyx–not that I am jealous or anything like that–but it seems as if a part of me is walking away from me. I feel a lot better when he wraps his arms around me, and Twilight finally settles down in my mind again. Both of us enjoy the comfort we is I place my head against his chest.

I can feel anger radiating from Deimos the moment Nyx opens the bottle of lotion. When he says there is Wolfsbane in the bottle, I finally understand how they planned on forcefully marking me. But when Leander starts describing the female that placed it in the kitchen, Twilight releases a mighty roar.

“Have they lost their fucking minds? 1 am going to rip them apart.” Twilight growls in my head.

“Calm down. Twilight. We need to calm down and think about this carefully. With us knowing about the lotion and who put it there, no one will expect us to use it. Taking away their one opportunity to sedate me means they’ll need to come up with something else, and that means they will screw up,” I say to her.

Telling her this, along with Deimos‘ arms wrapped around us, is what calms her down. But then I hear footsteps on the stairs, and I push Deimos into Slater’s old room. Twilight keeps an eye on Alpha Brad and Donovan as Dad explains why I roared. I am surprised to find out that our floor has security cameras, but also grateful because now we don’t have to tell a complete lie.

“He doesn’t look too happy with you finding out who dropped off the bottle, and I think Luna Hester is in on it,” Twilight says. I know she will explain everything to me once everyone has left the Gamma floor. Beta Fredt asks where the bottle is, but I know I can’t hand it over–and not just because I don’t want to.

“I will be right back; I placed it in my room before Dad called me out here,” I say, and I am glad I had taken the note from Nyx before she opened it. I walk into my room to grab a bottle of lotion from the bathroom. and I am glad they used my usual brand–it makes this just a little bit easier.

I place the note around the neck of the bottle before I walk out of my bedroom again, closing and locking the door behind me. “Here it is, Beta Fred,” I say as I walk towards the living room, handing him the bottle before anyone else can take it from me. His eyes are fixed on the note. “You found your Mate,” he says after he has read the note.

Twilight and I had kept our eyes on him, and we both see an emotion in his eyes that I would call relief, but it disappears so fast that I can’t be too sure about it. “Congratulations, and where is the lucky male?” he asks as he looks around the living room. Alpha Brad tells him that my Mate isn’t here, that he has a job to do at the Palace.

“Okay, that’s it. Beta Fred knows something, but I doubt he is on their side,” Twilight growls when we see sheer panic in his eyes. I think she is right about Beta Fred, and I wonder if he knows more about Alpha Brad. It takes at least another thirty minutes before everyone has left the Gamma floor, and I really pissed off Luna Hester when I declined dinner on the Alpha floor.

I told her I wanted to spend my last night at Moon Stone Pack with my Dad and my friends, that I didn’t want to be faced with Donovan and Gibson. The only one who seemed relieved that I refused to have dinner with them was Beta Fred, and it confirmed my suspicions: he knows more about what happened over thirty years ago.

Dad locks the door the moment he closes it behind Alpha Brad, and the moment I hear the click of the lock I feel two arms wrap around me. Turning around in Deimos‘ arms, I wrap my arms around his waist. I hear footsteps coming up the Omega stairwell and tell Nyx to unlock the door for the others. I need to spend some time with my friends and forget about this for just a little while.

I smile when I see Gaia and Kianda walk into the kitchen with a few containers filled with food, and I know we are going to have an old–fashioned night together–with, of course, the exception of this not being a complete girls‘ night. Leander follows them into the kitchen as he asks questions about what we are having for dinner, and Dad tells Nyx to place the bottle in a zipper bag he is holding out to her.

None of us wants it to start leaking, and we want to make sure that it gets to the Palace in one piece; we need

e the moment Dad closes it as evidence. Deimos keeps a close eye on the bottle, and I feel him relax the bag. He really doesn’t like the idea of that being too close to any of us. It blame him, as it is known to be harmful to Wolves and Lycans–more harmful to Wolves than to Lycans.

Not that I would willingly take some Wolfsbane. For a Wolf, it could become a case of life and death, while for a Lycan, it would cause them to lose their connection to their Lycan for a while. The higher the dosage
