He suggests solemnly. “Yes, I like that idea. I think I will.”
I say. “I can’t wait. Thank you for listening, Alpha.”
I smile before he lowers his head and walks off and I turn back to my office, thinking of a plan. Tonight, under the moon… in the forest… we will hold a gathering… This time… I don’t plan to tell anyone my idea, because right now I can’t trust even those around me… The secrets or the lies… Well, I guess it’s time to get the gathering put into place… a request to all werewolves who can come to the forest when the moon is shining in the sky.
No manners and reputation will be important, save the ranks of us- as werewolves. I return early after sending out the request. Stepping inside, silence greets me, and I look around the hall. There’s not even a sound from the children…. “Hello?”
I call down the hallway. “Mom?”
No one,
The guards are outside. Where is everyone? “Sebastian!”
I call. The sound of footsteps makes me turn and I see a nurse step out of Valerie’s room. “Ma’am, the children have gone with Alpha Sebastian and your father. No one is home.”
“Oh? Where?”
“I do not know, I’m sorry.”
She says politely. I nod slowly. “And Jai? And Mom?”
I ask. “I’m not sure about Mr O’Dell, but Ms Walton said she had a few errands to run since you will be leaving tomorrow.”
Hmm, I did tell her that in the morning… But why are Dad and Sebastian together? I head to Valerie’s room. It’s strange for Jai and Mom both not to be here. Someone is always with her. The nurse steps back in as she continues with her checks.
“Who left first, Mom or Jai?”
I ask. “Mr O’Dell.”
She responds as she takes Valerie’s blood pressure. I fall silent, letting her do her work. After taking her reading down on the chart, she turns Valerie onto her side. “She’s getting better.”
She tells me proudly and I smile, happy to hear that. “Excuse me.”
She leaves the room, leaving me along with Valerie. I stand up, my smile fading as I circle the bed. I was so confident that the full moon would heal her, but since then there’s not been any progress or activity.

I place my hand on her head, brushing my fingers through her hair. Wake up, Valerie… Please wake up. I stare down at her, wishing she’d wake up. Come on… Sebastian heals fast… because he’s in touch with his wolf… I wish she was too. I sit down on the edge of the bed, taking her hand in mine, my other hand still resting on her head. “If you can hear me, Valerie, wake up. Call upon your wolf. She is a part of you. She can and will help you heal. Come on, Valerie… fight this slumber, wake up.”
I whisper urgently. Come on! My own eyes are blazing orange, and I can feel my aura almost physically around me, my frustration growing. I want her to get better! The beeping quickens and I glance up at the machine, seeing her brain activity pick up. My heart sk ips a beat as I look down at her, frowning deeply as my heart races. She can do it! “Valerie. Wake up.”
My aura surges, my voice deeper and stronger. Wake up. Now! Fight it!”
The machine begins beeping faster as her eyes twitch and her heartstrength. “In the name of Selene, wake up!”
-My own heart is raging, the machine’s beep becoming an incessant ringing in my ears. Her eyes fly open, gasping as she scans the room before her eyes find me, her heart thundering violently. “Valerie…”
I whisper. She grabs my hand weakly, yet with clear panic as she opens her mouth. Nothing comes out and a nurse instantly runs to grab water. I take it from her, helping pour a small amount into her mouth. She clears her throat weakly. “Run. Run. He’s coming… Run.”
She whispers h oarsely, her words choked and raspy as her nails dig into my hand. She’s terrified, and I can see that clearly in her eyes. “Hush, you’re ok, you’re safe. It’s going to be OK,”
I whisper, wrapping my arms around her, my heart hammering as I hold her close. She’s awake.
Valerie has woken up! 1 can’t help but smile, feeling so relieved. Thank Selene! “No… no. no. no.”
Her breathing is becoming rapid and uneven. “She needs to rest.”
“She’s having a panic attack!”
The nurses begin panicking, but Valerie refuses to let go of me. “Let me calm her!”
I shout as I caress her back, motioning them all to move back and give us space. “Calm down, Val… I’m here… no one can hurt you.”
I promise softly. “No, listen to me, run, he’s going to kill us! He’ll kill us!”
“Who?”
I whisper, cupping her face. She’s scaring me. Is that night replaying in her mind? She opens her mouth when the sound of footsteps approaching only makes her turn in fear. Mom and Jai enter the room, both of them wide-eyed as they take in the scene before them. “Val…”
Jai says as he stops at the door, his heart pounding as he stares at her as if he can’t believe his eyes. She looks back at him, almost as if she’s struggling to recognise him. “Is she ok?”
he whispers; his eyes shine with emotions but it’s obvious he’s trying to control them.
I nod, as she looks between us and scans the room. “She was just about to say something important,”
I say, smiling down. at her. “What is it, Valerie?”
Mom asks with concern as she walks over. “Wait, do you know who attacked you?”
Jai asks as he drops to his knees beside the bed, almost reaching for her, but she moves away. A flash of hurt crosses his eyes as she looks between the three of us and, to my surprise, she forces a smile. Her eyes meet mine, her heart still racing as she speaks once again, her smile faltering. “I don’t…I don’t remember anything.”

SEBASTIAN. I look across at Hugh as we sit silently opposite one another in a private room at a local teahouse. We brought the twins along, as Zaia wasn’t around. I didn’t want to leave them. They’re currently happily eating cake as I wait for Hugh to state the reason he invited me. I don’t think he was expecting me to bring the children along. I’m seeing him in a different light from what I know from last night, but I don’t let on I know anything. After all, Zaia told me that in confidence. “Daddy look, cake! Do you want some?”
Sia asks, holding up a spoonful for me. I bend down, accept it and give her a smile. “Thank you, Princess,”
I say, ruffling her hair as I swallow the mouthful of sweetness. It’s too sweet. I don’t know how she can eat something so sweet but as long as she’s enjoying it, that’s the main thing. Hugh clears his throat and I glance back at him. “So…”
he begins “You wanted to talk to me,”
I state.
He nods. “I did, then you were adamant about bringing the children…”
I c ock a brow. “We can have a cordial meeting with them right here,”
I say arrogantly, switching to French. He observes me before he sighs. “Well, I will cut to the chase then.”
He begins as he picks up his cup.
“Please do.”
“With everything that has been happening, I am worried about Zaia.”
He begins in fluent French. Clearly not wanting to discuss this in front of the kids. “I’m worried about her too,”
I reply in French. “I’ve never liked you nor your family and they have never been fond of me, but I won’t deny that I knowif something is to happen to me, you are the one person I know who I can entrust her to.”
He says. Why is he talking like that? “I don’t think Zaia will appreciate you talking like this… however, you can rest assured that despite the differences between our families that she will be my utmost priority,”
I reply. “And since we are on the topic, what exactly is the issue between your family and mine, anyway?”
“That is a story for another day… make sure nothing happens to her, Sebastian, or my grandchildren. I have protected them to the best of my capability for so many years. I expect you to continue doing so.”
He sighs heavily. “And I presume this is because you know she will return with me,”
I say, sitting back. “Yes, although I have no idea what she sees in you,”
he retorts.”
However, I cannot make her decision for her.”
“I will take care of her. I have plans in place, right down to her location, and her guards will be your trusted ones from this pack.”
I say quietly. He frowns, but nods. “I don’t know how many I can truly trust… and with the recent mistakes made and the change, even I am uncertain if the new team can be fully capable of protecting her.”
It is a risk. “I will handle it.”
We fall silent again and I drink my tea watching him, he wants to say more… “So, will you spit it out? I never knew Hugh Toussaint was a nervous kind of person.”
I mock. He frowns at me before glaring down at his cup. “I’m not… but as you might know, I have made Zaia my heir and-“
“Of course, I know. We don’t really hide anything from one another.”
I reply. That only earns me another frown. “I’m sure you do. That’s why you divorced her.”
He counters sarcastically.
I almost smirk, “I see that’s where Zaia gets her sass from.”
