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 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

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. I a

Leah’s POV   “What do you mean by ‘a problem?’” I ask. “My father put in the three moons limit to give me time to find my mate, that was the point.  Why is that a problem?” “Unfortunately, the contract says you have three moons to be marked by Trent, there is nothing about the fated mate stated in the contract.  I believe that was more of a verbal understanding your dad was given by Alpha Max.  Alpha Max is very good with his word choices and has become even better with the darkness in his ear.  He understands the ways of magic and word choice matters very much when casting.” Selene replies. I put my hands up to my temples and rub circles. My head is killing me and now I have to figure out how not to die and not kill Trent  while claiming my fated mate.

Leah’s POV   “Hey kid, I’m back and better than ever!” Nyx jumps around in my head   “Oh Goddess, I have missed you! I feel like I haven’t been able to talk to you in forever.  And of course now we are going into an area that might separate me from you for a bit.  Have you been there the whole time or locked away somewhere?”   “I’ve been here for somethings.  Those f**kers that hit you over the head better be dead or there will be some serious torture in their future.”   “Man, I didn't realize how much I relied on you, just being there with me. Did you catch everything the Moon Goddess and Niobe said? We have some work to do.” &nb
