Daemon’s Point of ViewFor the next few weeks after the attack, the two rogues Wilson and Carlisle had captured were interrogated. I had promised Adriana that we would not torture them, but we weren't going to treat them like guests. They would answer my questions truthfully, or I would use my aura to force them.Before questioning the rogues, Amiria cast a spell that would conceal the rogues as if they had died. That way, Kree could not sense that they were still alive. I was dubious as to whether this would work, but we needed the information, so I went along with it.During questioning, I found out something interesting about my Lycan."I don't know where Kree is," one of the rogues flippantly answered.For some reason, I knew he was lyin

Tyler's Point of View When I walked down to the gate, I felt something strange. My wolf, Echo, was jumping around in my subconscious and was either agitated or excited. I couldn't tell. "What is wrong?" I asked him. "Something's happening! Something important! Something!" Some help he was. I decided to ignore Echo and concentrate on what was happening. It was difficult even to focus on that because there was this amazing smell. I couldn't help but sniff the air, setting Echo off again. Daemon seemed to notice how unfocused I was, and he definitely saw me sniffing the air.  "Is there a problem?" he asked. I shook my head, partly to dispel Echo's

Adriana's Point of View"The Fae, Avril, is Tyler's mate," Daemon mind-linked me."Is she? Oh, my Goddess!" I gasped in astonishment as I processed the revelation. The bond between a Fae and a wolf shifter was exceedingly rare. The only known one was the original Silver Wolf Pack."Do Fae feel the mating bond?" I asked Daemon."I'm not sure, but I know they worship the Moon Goddess, among other deities," he answered.I hoped for Tyler's sake that Fae did indeed feel the mate bond or wouldn't reject him. Any bond should be considered a sacred connection in our mystical world. At least Tyler would get to work alongside Avril, allowing them to get to know each other.Daemon stood and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, once we have finished our early lunch, I would like for us to have a meeting. Unfortunately, the renovations to the packhouse are not fully completed, so I will arrange for cars to take us to our home office."Based on the murmurings, the general consensus was that everyone

Adriana's Point of View "It appears the escaped prisoners have been accounted for," I announced to the occupants of our makeshift office. All eyes were on me with that comment, and given the look of confusion, I needed to elaborate. "Our scouts, who were keeping watch over Kree's camp, have indicated that around fifty rogues and a couple of witches have joined her camp." "You know where they are?" asked Roderick. "Yes. Yes, we do," I answered, "and we were about to discuss possible tactics and strategy." "Knowing where they are and going into battle are two very separate actions," said Daemon in support. "We want to determine where and when we attack them. We want as little casualties on our side as possible." Everyone nodded in agreement, so Daemon took it as an opportunity to get his map of the area and lay it on the dining room table. "Here are the combined borders of the Black and Silver Wolf Packs, which now make up the Royal Pack. This small area between the two packs has

Adriana's Point of View We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening discussing tactics and strategy. It was quite intense as we went through every possible scenario, and there were many of them. Knowing where Kree and her warriors were located was fortuitous as we didn't need to spend time finding that information out. After an hour or so, Daemon and I took a break to go and see the twins. With all the visitors arriving and subsequent meetings, we hadn't seen much of the twins today. If we weren't careful, our children would miss out on bonding time spent with us, and they would be grown up before we knew it. When the twins went back down for their early evening nap, Daemon and I joined the rest of the team to continue in battle discussions. We finally decided to sneak through the forest and surround Kree's camp. Using illusions, the enemy wouldn't even know we were there. Between Lysander and his illusionists, we would be totally hidden from sight, sound and smell. At dawn's
