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
Leah’s POV“Alpha!” someone shouts at me.I jump up ready for a fight, blinking my eyes and remembering I’m not in my dorm or in the war room. Where…Oh yeah. Gran convinced us to stay last night and rest up, she said we would need our strength and would be safer for now in the bunker.“What’s up?” I ask Jason who is screaming at me through the mindlink.“There’s a ton going on, we need you and Elyse.”“Ok, we’ll head back now, give me a status report while we run.“No, there’s no time. Don’t come to the war room, you’re needed at Blue Moon, the second attack has started.&nb
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 I am super groggy as I try to sit up. All I can see is mist in the twilight darkness. My head is throbbing and I have no idea where I am. “Anyone there?” I whisper yell. I want to see if anyone is here to help, but I also don’t want someone who may wish me harm to know I am awake. I take a few tentative steps forward. The grass on my bare feet was cool and wet, but not uncomfortable. “Why am I barefoot?” I question out loud to no one. This is where Nyx usually throws in some snide comment. “Nyx, you there?” I ask in my head. Nothing. What the hell? Where is she? I stopped and looked around, really looked. I was wearing a white Grecian styled dress with a deep 'V' opening in the front and the back that goes down to a wide piece of silver fabric tied around my waist like a b
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 Niobe snaps her fingers again and Ellinore seems to come out of it this time. “What the hell?” Was all she got out and then she looked at Danielle and her face paled and she started breathing very fast and grasping the edge of her chair. “I didn’t think the bond worked here.” Niobe says “Normally it doesn’t, but these two are particularly strong. Their wolves refuse to be mated to anyone else. This is their fifth time being mated.” Selene responds, and then awareness dawns on me and I start laughing. I can’t help it, I am belly laughing and trying not to fall out of my chair. Elyse catches on too and starts laughing as well. “I knew it!” I exclaim. “Danielle, have fun. 
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
Leah’s POVI mindlink Jason as we all hit the tunnels and head to the war room. I feel like it’s been weeks since I last talked to him, but in reality, it’s only been a couple days.“Jason, I need a status update, sorry we’ve been out of commission.”“Damn, it’s good to hear your voice, Alpha. What happened? I actually couldn’t feel your presence for almost a day.”“It’s kind of a long story, but the bottom line is we now get to contend with magic and a witch, who may or may not be using her magic under force. Some of the Betas are trying to start something of their own under the radar of the Alphas and Elders currently causing problems an
39DamienI can’t even describe the scene we came upon. Jason was just lying there eyes wide open and he seemed to have bled out fast due to the silver. You could smell the burnt flesh where it had singed his skin.Leah just collapsed in front of me, a silent cry on her lips and tears streaming down her face. I think she went into shock immediately at the sight of him. None of us could have ever suspected him. He was loyal to Leah to a fault. His loyalty went so far as to push my limits of patience even. At one point I thought she had maybe taken him for a lover the way he followed her around. That is until the rumors about is s*****ty started floating around. It lessened my worries, slightly.&n
