***Daphne POV ***we followed Viola through the Basilica and down the corridor that lead to the Watchers office once she was inside the door clicked closed but I re opened a few seconds later. Father Colm stood there regarding us closely. "May I help you?" he asked bowing to myself and Max. I was about to speak when Sebastian stood forward from behind us. "Sebastian I am not getting involved in another row between you and Viola." he said firmly. "My bloody eyebrows have only grown back after the last round." he added as I looked questionly at Sebastian. "That was a mere misunderstanding who knew the desk would catch fire that quickly." Sebastian shrugged. "I could of taken a good educated guess at it considering it was covered in premium whiskey." The Watcher retorted. "Stop my heart breaks at the waste of such fine old malt whiskey." Sebastian smirked. "Fitting that's all you would give a damn about Sebastian the whiskey and not me." a voice snapped as we all turned to face Viol

***Max PoV *** Despite how I felt about that snake in the grass Sebastian it was clear we needed him to get to the entrances of the underground but I had already made up my mind the first chance I got to ditch him and run with Daphne and hopefully Viola I was going to take it. The Watchers words of warning about Sebas rang in my head but then what did I really know about the Watcher himself so this was not an ideal situation in general. I know Fr Colm was held in high regard by the Elders in the werewolf community but generally he was not someone we would regularly deal with. Viola had elaborated via text message the entrance to the old Roman catacombs considered to be the witches territory where hidden on the banks of the river Tiber. Daphne had asked her to drop a GPS pin on the location and we would just meet them there as I wanted to spend as little time with Sebastian as required. I wandered over to youth training deciding to leave my mate asleep. She was in a deep sleep this mor

***Dottie POV *** I was crouched over my en suite toilet in the fancy Gamma accommodation in the Palace vomiting as was my new early morning routine. "Morning sickness?" a voice asked as I wretched again as a wave over nausea hit me. I was about to respond sarcastically when I realised it was the Royal Beta female Casey and she had a warm smile on her face. She also held a small tray in her hand. "Herbal tea mix Madame Lux makes it really helps as these high ranking werewolves pups really suck it out of you." she smiled kindly. "and ginger biscuits which Charlie and I swore by. Sasha was more of a dry cracker kind of girl ....." she trailed off realising that mentioning Sasha might offend me. I went to reasure her that I didn't mind her talking about her friend Sasha but I hugged the toilet bowl again as another wave of nausea hit me. Casey sighed as she put the tray down and came to hold my hair back. "Your morning sickness is really extreme." she sounded worried. "I'm going to g

***Charlie POV ***It felt like I was missing something I was the green wolf the one ment to stop Carmen and yet I was failing. I couldn't find any trace of her and the witches could not track her. My mate was busy being King, I was trying to be a decent Queen with three small children, Sasha was dead, Danny was in a new emotional mess with a pup on the way with a fire dragon shifting teenager. Daphne was in Rome with Max, Alex and Lucinda where running the Pearl Moon pack. My father was still Alpha of the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack with a new baby and a fairy Princess Mate and was busy relocating memebers to the new pack grounds. Everything was weird and strange and the ultimate goal of stopping Carmen now seemed so petty and distant in my life. I sighed holding Ash to my breast as I organised our calender seeing what we had to attend and what we politely could decline and skip out on. Emmett's days were spent interrogating rogues and criminals, attending meetings with Alpha's, traini

***Charlie POV ***We touched down in Italy and after a few pleading excuses to Adam, and Casey doing some mate magic that rendered Adam momentarily speechless we managed to have him agree to swap the Royal Fleet for two black SUV's. To be honest I was super pissed Adam had decided my husbands word was gospel and he had fought my Royal command but it seems my crafty husband had used some Royal command of his own on his long serving Beta and best friend. I understood it thay in werewolf society the Male, the Alpha and King was the final word however I was the Moon Goddess blood on earth so submissive behaviour was not easy nor natural for me. "Penny for your thoughts?" Casey asked and I looked at her. "I am convincing Soairse the moon Goddesses blood on earth not to rip your mate limb from limb." I responded as Adam blanched and despite my treat on her mate Casey hid her smirk. "Emmett made me swear." he spluttered. "Oh dont worry Adam. Your King and Alpha will wish I let Soairse r
