“Heph, can you please explain this invoi- holy shit? What is that thing?” I drop my hands to the side and gawk at the giant contraption that looks like an elevated treadmill on steroids. The trainers are standing close by, trying to figure out how to orient a massive harness. They all stop and bow when they see me.“We need a more accurate way to clock Elexis’s speed.” He puts down a wrench and turns his seat toward me. “I need to disarm the automatons until she reaches the target, but if they are down too long, it will raise suspicion.”“Automatons?” I shake my head. “Will they attack Kas too?”“Not if Elexis makes it inside in time.” He goes back to his work. That isn’t comforting at all.“So this is a way to clock her speed?” I step closer to the machine. “How does it work?”“It’s based on a device I saw online that they used to exercise dogs. Humans sure love capturing stupid shit on video, don’t they?” He chuckles and turns on a headlamp to see what he’s doing. “The invoice you h

Kas’s POV“Lex, you didn’t have to growl at him.” I try to talk sense into her as she trots away from the training pavilion. “He’s trying to help.”“I tried my hardest, and it wasn’t good enough, Kas.” She sulks, moving deeper into the woods.“Okay, but like the trainers said, we have two and a half years to work up to where we need to be.” I try to console her, but her feelings are already hurt. Lex doesn’t get genuinely offended often, but Hephaestus reminding her that this is life and death plucked a nerve. “No one expects you to be perfect the first time out. What’s gotten into you?”“Life and death, Kas.” She murmurs. “That doesn’t just mean ours. It could be our mate and our pups, too. Just give me time to think, please. I need to clear my mind.”“Alright. I’m here when you’re ready to talk.” I mumble, trying to push away her anger. “Don’t go too far. That hip is going to get real sore, real quick.”I let myself fall back and give Lex privacy while she works through whatever she

“Iokaste, my dear little dog girl!” She coos at me in her deep velvet tone. “I wanted to make amends. The last time we saw each other was a bit… staticky.” “Staticky?” Her choice of words catches me off guard. “You threatened me with an electrified whip! You’ve continued to harass the children of my pack and you tried to interfere with my mother’s fated bond between one of the Menae and her mate!” “And you burned my face. So we’re even.” She waves her hand dismissively gives me a not so innocent smile. “Water under the bridge. Hmm?” “She’s bat shit crazy, Kas.” Lex says in awe. “We have to get out of here.” “Let me handle this, Lex.” “Aphrodite, again, why did you summon me?” I keep a low stance in case she attacks. “And now that I think of it, why was there no phone crackling connection this time?” “Oh, dearest, I’ve upgraded! Fiber optics have changed my life! It doesn’t matter what realm you’re in, a goddess has to stay on the latest trends, now, doesn’t she?” She gushes and

“Mommy, I here.” A sweet little voice whispers loudly in my ear. “You wake up for snuggles?”I take a deep breath of that deep forest pine scent I love so much and open my eyes. Dre is laying across me, playing with the ends of my hair. His big green eyes are giving me a pleading look that brightens when he sees me smile at him.“Andreas, my sweet little wolf.” My voice is scratchy and dry. I swallow back tears and shut my eyes tight. Every inch of my body hurts, but I don’t want him to see me cry. That I’m not dead allows relief to flood me. My baby can smother my all he wants. I wrap my arms around him and kiss his forehead. “Yes, my darling, we can snuggle. How long was Mommy asleep?”“The doctor said bringing the kids would help when you woke up.” Bronx says from a loveseat next to the hospital bed. He looks tired and relieved. Maya is leaning on his shoulder, sound asleep, with half an orange slice in her hand. Bronx gets up and lays Maya on the chair, then comes over to the bed.

Bronx’s POV“Alright, now that Kas and her sisters are out of the room, there’s something else I want to discuss with everyone.” I stand up and nod to Carly. She opens a folder and passes sheets out to everyone. “Endymion. Now known as Andy Latmus Briland. We found him.”Arrow looks at his paper and back at me. “King Endymion? He’s been reincarnated?”“The one and only. Right here in Montana.” I sigh and sit back down. “He was born to a werebear, werewolf hybrid who is mated to a human, but the child is one hundred percent werewolf. His father, Dave, says when his wife, Shelly, was pregnant, a Native American God and a beautiful blonde-haired woman came to him in a dream and told him the baby’s name. Andy has genetic markers similar to all the Menae that would indicate he is: aye, a god, and bee, their father.”“Selene has far-reaching influence and genetics don’t lie.” Heph rubs his grimy hand over the thick scruff of his chin. “So it’s really him. Now what? What is it to us?”“This

"Hey people, time to close shop. Report to your trainers." I clap my hands to get everyone's attention in the weightroom. "Let them know I said you can finish your sets later today."As everyone racks their weights and files out, Arrow stops and shakes Milo’s hand, then claps him on the shoulder casually. "Mister Stone, when you're done, I have some suggestions for improvements to shooting range training. No hurry. I'll catch up to you in the dining hall.""The shooting range?" Milo looks confused. "Thaaat’s Ashley’s area, but, uh, yeah sure. I’ll find you before dinner."“Great. I’ll get Maisy to join us.” Arrow smiles and shakes Milo’s hand again.”“Sorry to interrupt.” The reporter gives them a polite smile, then introduces himself to Arrow. "Sean Hormell. Nice to meet you.""Arrow Khe." Arrow gives the man a slight bow, but doesn't shake his hand. "Nice to meet you.""Khe? Are you related to THE Maisy Khe?" The reporter's eyes brighten. “The psychiatrist?”"You believe you mean, D

“Why don’t you two go wake up Mommy? I have a surprise for her birthday.” I kiss Maya and set her on the ground. “I have some things to discuss with Uncle Marco.” “Daddy, what if she says she’ll give me cookies?” Dre’s big green eyes grow worried. He’s a sucker for Kas’s cookies. I wouldn’t blame him if he spilled the beans. Especially if they were the ones with those dark chocolate chunks in them. We told the kids about Andy coming yesterday after daycare so they would know a new friend was coming and to make him feel welcome. Everyone swore to secrecy so their Luna would have a happy birthday surprise. They were all given a smiley face sticker to seal the deal. Diane insists it works. “Brave warriors can resist cookies cause they know the Moon Goddess will reward them with bigger, better things… like chocolate cake.” Marco leans down and ruffles Dre’s hair. “Trust me she’s gonna love this one. Don’t ruin it for her.” Dre thinks about it for a moment then gives Marco a salute and

Marco’s POV“Marco, what’s it like to be a werewolf?” Andy looks around the busy dining room. It’s tough to tell what he’s thinking, but I think he forgot about his plate of macaroni and cheese. He shifts in his seat uncomfortably and looks at his plate. Before I can answer him, he wipes his hand over his forehead.“You need a break, Andy?” I push my chair out, but don’t stand up. The Doc said I gotta give him a chance to decide for himself. “We can find a place to sit outside for a minute if you want or we can finish dinner, then go for a walk.”“Can we go outside now, please?” He slides off his chair. Alpha Bronx sees us get up and looks at me, but I give him a nod to let him know we’re okay. Andy walks beside me out of the dining room into the hallway. As a little quiz, I ask him to show me where the closest exit is. He looks up and down the hallway and points to the backyard.“Good job, kiddo.” We walk out the back door and down the path. He shakes his little hands while we walk,
