Meadow’s pov I sat in one of the empty rooms in the Blood Iron packhouse, waiting for the battle to end. I didn’t mind being alone, I was just to it. I was an omega at my old pack, one that couldn’t fight, so I was used to waiting and hiding. But I had been training and I finally felt like I belonged. I wanted to defend this pack, defend my home. All this time alone made me think about the last few weeks. After our date Chris kept his distance, but he tried to contact me a few times. I didn’t see the point. We were clearly not a match. He would be far better off with Nora. Maybe she wouldn’t freak out if he tried to kiss her. “Don’t say that. I am actually really proud you stood up for yourself.” Aurora said, “you shouldn’t let anyone touch you without permission. No matter how many sparks there are.” Part of me still felt an attraction to Chris, but he wasn’t what I needed right now. I needed to work on myself and I needed to get out of this

Lily’s pov I had been trying my best to keep busy. Focusing on Asher, walking through the packhouse to keep everyone informed and helping wherever I could. Every packlink that broke felt like a failure. I knew this was the place I was supposed to be, but it was still hard waiting. while Osiris was out there risking his life. April mindlinked me, telling me Cyrus was under attack. I quickly shifted and left Asher with some of the elderly, they might be old, but I knew they would defend Asher with their lives. When I ran towards the fight I was mindlinked again, telling me there were more wolves in the packhouse. They were targetting humans and halfblood, which meant Asher and the elderly wouldn't be their first target. But I was still worried. Right now I had to focus and make sure everyone stayed alive long enough for the others to get here. I ran upstairs, checking if any rooms had been breached. Ishaan was fighting a wolf off, while Prisha and the kids hid in the walk in closet.

Cyrus’ pov Fuck, did I just shoot myself in my fucking foot. I was trying to help Kane out, he deserved some fucking closure and Damian being down in the dungeon didn’t fucking help. I also saw an opportunity for this pack to be even fucking better. “There are no other lawyers in this pack. I need your help with the trial Cyrus.” Osiris said. I was a good lawyer, I just fucking hated it and I never worked in criminal law. I worked in corporate law, so that meant I had to call up some of my old friends and ask them for fucking advice. Without mentioning what this whole fucking thing was about. As if I didn’t have enough on my fucking hands, with the shelter and the farm was still being built. Fuck. “I’ll see what I can do. But I am no fucking expert in this. Maybe you can reach out and see if there are other werewolf lawyers? Or half-bloods whatever.” I finally replied after some consideration. Shit, I just got out of hospital

Chris’ pov I couldn’t believe how much time and effort Luna Lily had put into our date. She must really like Meadow. Her mother was such a good Luna and she might not look like her, Luna Lily did have Luna Katherine’s kindness and good heart. I was really impressed by Meadow. The things she had survived. I now understood why everyone told me to take it slow and be careful. Living as a rogue, than being imprisoned by Alpha Osiris and everything that followed afterwards. I still didn’t know what she did to be banished, just that she obeyed her Alpha. But Meadow was too kind, I couldn’t imagine her doing something bad. She would tell me when she was ready and I would wait. I didn’t mind waiting. Just holding Meadow’s hand last night was good enough. Of course I wanted to do more eventually, I mean look at her! Meadow was so beautiful. But we had enough time for that. I wanted to see Luna Lily and thank her personally. It helped that I st

Cyrus’ pov This wasn’t what I pictured I’d be doing here. But fucking anything for the pack right? I didn’t hate it, as much as I used to. Maybe because I knew I could go back to my old fucking job after this. Or maybe because the more I did it, the more I thought that Damian deserved fucking better than he got. Osiris was such a damn good Alpha and Lily’s dad, was a great guy too. From what I heard he was a good Alpha. But that fucker Alpha Arthur. Shit he sounded all kinds of wrong. I never thought I would say this so fucking easily, but it was a good thing he was dead. “So Doctor, could you tell us a bit about Damian’s injuries after he came to our pack to warn us?” I asked. “Damian had been badly beaten. His sides were ripped open, using claws and several bones were broken. But what surprised me most was the old scars I saw, the ones that hadn’t been healed. They must have taken place before his eighteenth birthday.” “Could you de
