Damien’s POV
I know it's early or, I guess, late if you can’t sleep. I have been wracking my brain to figure out what Max could possibly want me for other than being an alpha he can control. It doesn’t make any sense beyond that. I also keep thinking of Leah and the last time I saw her. It feels like forever ago, and Bronwyn’s words are not making the separation any better. I need her, I know Titan needs Nyx and we need things to stop getting in our way. I let out a sigh.
The packhouse has had a steady beat of footsteps going up and down my hallway. So either I’m in a frequently used hallway or my guards are marching like sentinels back and forth in front of my door. Which means they are really bored and trying to stay awake or very extreme in their guard duties.

Damien’s POV“And do you remember who we saw while we were walking along the lake? The only person at the lake that night.”He sucks in a deep breath as his eyes go wide and I think he might jump me again. I brace myself for the onslaught of physical or verbal backlash at telling him this. “I don’t understand, you are Leah’s true mate? And you have known for four years? Why have you never pursued her, never said anything. You have watched me try, and let's be honest, fail, to court her.” He lets his thoughts trail off at that.“Because I was instructed not to. Our leaders may not think highly of the Moon Goddess and all of her plans, but one thing everyone has always said is you don’t mess with a fated true mate bond if you are lucky

Damien’s POV [Rewind- 3 years ago continued] We all spread out, everyone focused on their intended target. As soon as Erik said start, all hell broke loose, and I couldn’t focus on anything but my fight with Leah. She was so fucking fast, she got three body blows in before I remembered I was supposed to be fighting her. It definitely wasn’t like fighting one of the guys. Her hits didn’t have the same impact, but were enough to change my gait or center of balance. And she was fast. It took me a couple minutes to adjust to her speed, and go on the offense. She matched me blow for blow, and didn’t seem to have a weak point that I could find, yet. I was able to get a left hook to her rib cage, while I dodged her right punch, I grabbed her right arm and spun her around pinning her right arm behind her and wrapping my other

Leah’s POVThis was the first time in a couple days that I have really enjoyed myself. I know that we are in the middle of some big shit, but to sit here, eat good food and listen to Tammy’s gran tell stories about pack history, some of the Elders and Alphas when they were little was exactly what I needed. I’m glad that we are the only rebellious group of alphas to go through the concordat school.It turns out that she slipped in a few stories for the benefit of Elyse and I too. Apparently, witches, werewolves and hybrids of all sorts lived in our territory. That’s why our healers are as talented as they are, the training has been passed down from generation to generation. And because werewolves have a natural magic of their own, they can wield some of the more basic incantations, with the proper training and focus. All

Damien’s POV“I’m sorry man. I never would have willingly done this to you, you know that right?” I ask hesitantly.Trent and I have never been what anyone would call best friends, but we are also so close in age, we’ve been put together, along with his older brother since we were born. He’s like a brother to me and I know him well enough to see through the mask he’s putting on right now.“I know, but I have wanted her for so long, I don’t even know what I’m going to do. I haven’t even looked at any other girls.” He takes a deep breath and scrubs his hands over his face.“Well, you took that better than I thought. I figured one of us was going to be fairly bloody before you ca

Damien’s POV What? Why would she be mad if you left me here? I should be the least of your worries.” I asked confused. She turned bright red and looked like she might be sick. “Umm, no reason, she just wants to make sure everyone gets back safely. You know how she is.” She says, not making eye contact with me. “What am I missing, don’t lie we don’t have the time.” I say my heart rate is picking up speed. “You say nothing, understand? I owe you for keeping my secret, that’s all. I will deny saying anything to you if asked, her wrath is not worth it.” She is talking fast and looking around like she is going to spill some great secret. “That girl has been in love with you since she was like 5. And I am not talking a stupid girl crush on an alpha, like

Leah’s POV“Alpha!” someone shouts at me.I jump up ready for a fight, blinking my eyes and remembering I’m not in my dorm or in the war room. Where…Oh yeah. Gran convinced us to stay last night and rest up, she said we would need our strength and would be safer for now in the bunker.“What’s up?” I ask Jason who is screaming at me through the mindlink.“There’s a ton going on, we need you and Elyse.”“Ok, we’ll head back now, give me a status report while we run.“No, there’s no time. Don’t come to the war room, you’re needed at Blue Moon, the second attack has started.&nb

Damien’s POV Trent, Ellinore and I rush into the fight as soon as we cross the border into Blue Moon. I lose sight of both of them almost immediately. I took out rogue after rogue. Ellinore tried to explain, again, on our way here, that Leah prefers we take as many prisoners as possible to either rehab into the pack or to get info out of before we kill them. At this point I don’t give a f**k, these bastards are tearing up our packs and they just seem to multiply like cockroaches. I am breaking the neck of anyone who approaches me looking for a fight. I make my way toward the Blue Moon packhouse grounds, that seems to be where the most fighting is happening.I can see many of the omega and gamma warriors the girls have been training with the last couple of years holding their own against the rogues.

Leah’s POV I am super groggy as I try to sit up. All I can see is mist in the twilight darkness. My head is throbbing and I have no idea where I am. “Anyone there?” I whisper yell. I want to see if anyone is here to help, but I also don’t want someone who may wish me harm to know I am awake. I take a few tentative steps forward. The grass on my bare feet was cool and wet, but not uncomfortable. “Why am I barefoot?” I question out loud to no one. This is where Nyx usually throws in some snide comment. “Nyx, you there?” I ask in my head. Nothing. What the hell? Where is she? I stopped and looked around, really looked. I was wearing a white Grecian styled dress with a deep 'V' opening in the front and the back that goes down to a wide piece of silver fabric tied around my waist like a b
