“Clara,” she said, “how badly do you want this to happen?”
“Badly!” Clara shouted, leaning forward on her desk toward Selene.
“Okay,” Selene laughed. “Then how about this? I’ll agree if you agree to take the bond suppressant.”
Clara looked crestfallen.
“But… I just found her…” she said sadly.
“You aren’t losing her, Clara,” Selene chuckled softly. “Look, you and Nessa know you are meant to be together, and you won’t be separated. The bond is amazing. But sometimes… it can be overwhelming; it can make us forget about knowing the person on the other end of it.”
Clara gave Selene an uncertain look.
“Alright,” Selene said. “You’ve seen Galen and Bell together?”
Clara nodded.
“They aren’t bondmates,” Selene smiled. “They developed their relationship without the bond, just because they chose each other.”
“That is pretty amazing,” Clara smiled.
“It really is,” Selene said, taking a moment to appreciate what Galen and Bell shared.
“My point is that right now, you are too excited, in all the ways, about your bond,” Selene smiled with a raised eyebrow.
Clara blushed and looked away.
“It’s understandable,” Selene said. “But for what we are working on, there is no room for distraction.”
“I understand,” Clara said.
“So maybe look at this as an opportunity to get to know Nessa in a way that is based on the two of you as people, rather than through the bonds of your wolves.”
Clara nodded and bit her lower lip as she considered the idea.
“Alright,” Selene nodded. “So, take a minute, talk to Nessa about it. If you are willing to take the suppressant, I will trust your judgment on bringing her into the fold.”
Selene left Clara’s office with a smile.
It was beginning to feel like a real possibility that they would find the answers to why Cain had been killed. Once she had proof, it would be enough to go after Tomas without fear of the other packs rising up against them.
Finally, she would be able to be honest with Alexander, and they could move forward in their life together.
She pulled out her phone.
“Who is this?” Bell answered dramatically. “The number looks slightly familiar, but it’s been sooo long I can’t be sure.”
“Oh, shut up,” Selene laughed.
“Well, whoever you are, you sure are rude,” Bell sighed.
“Okay, I don’t call, I don’t write, I’m the worst,” Selene smiled. “I’m sorry.”
“You should be,” Bell pouted. “I only hear about you from Galen, and he never has the real answers. I mean, he has no clue if you have been doing your kegel exercises or done any strengthening of your pelvic floor.”
Selene stopped in her tracks.
“I’m sorry, what??”
Bell burst into laughter.
“Sorry, it’s just so fun to mess with him.”
“Did you really ask him those things?” Selene laughed.
“Yes!” Bell laughed..
“You’re the worst,” Selene said.
“I really am,” Bell giggled. “But somehow, none of you have ditched me yet, so I guess I’m not all bad.”
“Definitely not,” Selene smiled.
Bell began to describe another prank she had pulled on Galen, but Selene had become distracted.
Someone was leaving the science building, but they didn’t look familiar. Or rather, they did look familiar, but not from Summer.
“Alice…?” Selene whispered.
“What?” Bell asked.
“Bell… I gotta go… I think I just saw Alice….” Selene said, watching the figure turn a corner.
“In Summer?” Bell questioned.
“Yea… I gotta go. I’ll call you back!”
Selene hung up the phone and ran after them.
They couldn’t fight all the wolves gathered at the gate. The wolves of Eclipsed were skilled and ruthless. Every time one lunged or attacked, it was brutal and unyielding.
Jonas had thrown himself into three that charged at him. He managed to take one down while the other two hit, bit and tried to stab him in the process, hitting each other.
Alexander and Axel had moved together as they were charged by the remaining wolves. Receiving several injuries in the flurry of the attack.
The wolves of Eclipsed had attacked together, but that was where their cohesion ended. They were frenzied, thrashing wildly. Not caring if the enemy or each other was bitten, scratched, or pulled apart.
The three alphas were able to slip away in the confusion.
Blocked from the gate, they managed to move back inside the village. Moving away from the fires, they found what was the armory. The weapons had already been destroyed or ransacked. But the storage room of the building provided much-needed shelter from the attacking wolves.
“What the hell happened here?!” Alexander shouted as they used the furniture in the room to barricade the door. “You said those are the Eclipsed wolves?”
“Some of them,” Axel said. “This pack has two hundred wolves… we’ve maybe seen twenty.”
Jonas was pacing and growling.
“These Eclipsed folks ain’t right. They’ve always been real aggressive. It’s their style. But they don’t hurt each other. Something happened to those wolves out there.”
“Alpha Jonas?” a soft voice came from behind a stack of boxes in the corner of the room.
Jonas stood up straight, looking to the corner. Axel and Alexander each moved to defend themselves.
“Alpha Jonas… is that you?” the voice asked again.
“I’m sorry, sugar, but I ain’t movin’ into the dark corner of the room when I just been attacked by people I called friends just yesterday. So, if you want to confirm me, you better come out yourself,” Jonas replied to the voice.
“Ok, I’m coming out, please don’t attack me…” the voice replied.
The boxes moved enough to allow a young girl to crawl from under them. She was no more than fifteen years old. She was on the shorter end, her hair pulled back into a messy bun of dark hair. She wore jeans and a t-shirt but was missing shoes.
Black smudges were on her face, and a look of fear and relief mashed together as she saw Jonas.
“It is you!” she cried, tears falling from her eyes as she ran forward and threw her arms around him.
Jonas held the girl. He looked down at her, pulling her chin to look up at him.
“Amy?” he asked.
She nodded.
Jonas let out a deep sigh and hugged her tight.
“What happened to you, girl? Where is your daddy?”
Amy let out a thick sob.
“He’s gone,” she said through tears. “He sent me to the communications tower… he held them back so I could send you the message… they set fire to it while I was inside.”
“Oh… Darlin’…” Jonas whispered, holding her close and petting her hair.
“I got out one of the windows… climbed down to the ground… But, I was too late… they… they had already torn him apart.”
“Who did this?!” Jonas growled as he held the girl.
The sound of movement outside the door made it clear that the wolved had found them. Axel and Alexander took up positions near the door.
“This won’t hold them back for long,” Alexander said.
“Is there any other way out of this room?” Axel asked, looking at Amy.
She lifted her head and looked at Axel. He gave her a reassuring smile.
