Thane’s pov

I winced as I looked down at my leg, spotting her handkerchief tied around one of my ankles. My Mind was filled with the thought of her. I had seen her face clearly, but she didn’t seem to look familiar in any way. And her eyes…

The bushes beside me rustled and I turned to see Valerie step out of the bushes in time to give me a hardened glare. “what the actual fuck, thane? Do you think we’re playing hide nd seen or something? I genuinely thought something had happened to you.”

“Valerie. Do you we have anyone with green eyes in our pack. Preferably femeale?”

“why do you ask? And can you get up the floor. Honestly its like im talking to a child.”

“I had a bad fall and sprained my ankle.”

“you should have healed by now. And you get mad when they call you a child.”

“D    on’t push it valeris. IM really not in the  mood to banter with you. Back to my question…”

“I don’t know. Youd have to have ask cillian.”

Ask me what?

Tanned skin, shoulder length blonde hair, rich in color and dark orange, almost red eyes, a 6’2 guy stepped out of the bushes right behind Valerie before putting an arm around her.

“ask me what?”

Cillian, my gamma. He and Valerie seem to be in what might be the most complicated situationship… cough** relationship I’ve ever seen. They claim its not a situationship, neither do they accept they act like couples, but they show absolutely no feelings towards the other whatsoever. Im pretty sure they’ve fucked a dew times, and yet I still nsee cillian hanging out with other chicks and Valerie with other suitoters of hers.

“How many green eyes chicks do we have in our pack?” Valerie repeated before pushing the arm wrapped around jer shoulder off her, giving him a side glare to which he barely gave a single glance to as he was focused on me.

“why are you on the floor?”

“that’s not the answer to my question.” I frown, not enjoying thw fact that I hqave to talk from the floor nwhile they towered over me.

He suddenly pulled out his phone and took a picture of me, smirking as he began typing away. “Morgana is for sure going to like the sight of this.”

“Valerie take his phone” I tried to get up but the shafp pain causes be to fall back down and in frustratuion, I push my hair back from my face to see my sprained ankle. It had stopped bleeding but why wasn’t it completely healed. Why was It taking so much timer. This hasn’T happened before.

“cillian, you know how morgana gets when she realizes her baby brither hurts himself.”

“im her younger brother, the fuck?”

 I glare at Valerie but she makes no move whatsoever to snatch bthe phone from cillian’s grip who had a satisfied smile on his face as he turbed to me, ocketeing thw pjhone.

“I reassured her we were on our way already. She would have xome running over if I hadn’t said so.”

I had shitty friends.

Morgana was my elder sister, and although I loved her, she seemed a bit too overprotexctive after we lost our parents, and consideri ng the rumors about the assain coming back, she hd become even worse than usual.

I finally got up, holding onto the tree for suoort. The pain was still there, but not as unbearable as before. I couldn’t let anyone know of this new developmeny, not even my friends and espevcaolly not my sister. I woild have to see a pack doctor and find out what’s going on?

“Let’s go then.”

Valerie suddenly glared at cillian who was avding my gaze the entire time. “What now?”

“tell him or I will. Either way, hes going to find out.” Valerie said with clenched teeth.

I grew further confused, especially when it looked like illian nwasnt going to say anything. “well?”

“he lost the car.”

“valeeie!”

“you lost my BMW?! You lost a whole car? How?”

Cillian, as usual grew defensive. “It’s a small car, and the woods is pretty big.”

“a small car? Okay… wait. How did you even loose it?”

“Look, we can shift and runnhome. We’d semd the men later on to come get it. I just lost it, I didn’t wreck it and hide it somewhere.”

I glared hard bat him before turning to Valerie. “I leave you two for ten minutes. Ten. You know he has the brain of a pea. Weren’t you supposed to nbe looking after him.”

“excuse me?” they both said at the same time, but I don’t give them the luxury of time as I turn away, eunning and shifting into my 3’5 foot wolf, Jason who lets out a deep throaty growl as his pawens land hard on the ground, soil and lush grass getting between them with each large step they took as he ran.

It was quite rare for me to shift, so when I did, Jason managed to make every moment of his full reign on my body count.

Behind him, I could hear padding of feet on the ground and turned half way see Gregory, cillian’s dark brown furred wolf and Arisa, Valwerie’s furry red wolf catching up to Jason.

In seconds, we’ve gotten home, and like I had expected since I had mind linked them, the omegas werr standing outside holding up latrge cloaks whuich they handed us the moment we shifted back into out nude form, having had out clotes ripped into shreds from shifting.

“Thane… “ I winced internally on hearing morgana’s voice. Right at the entrance, a woman with serene features and long flwlless haie hat literally grazed the ground ran up woards me with worry in her eyes. Looking at her was like looking At the striking reflection of my mother.

“Morgana..” I start resisting as she dismissed the Omegas and pulled me in. Valerie And Cillian snickered beside me before they both went upsgairs leaving us alone whole I cursed at cillian.

“Morgana. Really… I’m fine.” But she already had me settled on the couch and was pulling on my ankle to check it.

“You kmow you should be more careful when you’re out, especially in the woods. What if it had been more than a sprain ankle.”

“Then I would have handled it like the grown ass man that I am.” I retorted. I could feel that sharp pain when she grabbed hold of the ankle but I ket a straight face.

‘Care to tell me what the fuck’s going on Jason?’

‘You have to go see a shaman. Not a doctor. That’s not normal. And I        T’s sudden to, so I can’t really tell what the fuck’s going on’ He replied before he wwent silent.

Before I could berate him for not havionmg told me any sooner, mORGANA’s question snapped me out of my reviere.

“who gave you this, Thane?”

I sit up when I see her standing across me in the living room, holding up the familiar handkerchief. She had a pale expression now and a horror stricken face directed atbthe handkerscief as she helt it yp.

The image of green eyes greeted my thoufghts as I stand up and walk towards her. “That’s mine.”

“I nknow you don’t carry a handkerchief Thane. And I would know If you did. So wjose is it?”

I womdered why she was overreacting over something bas small as a handkerchief, but then again, this was morgana who can make a fuss about just anything as bsmall as a prick of needle on my finger.

“Itr’s valerie’s” I said in a small voce, kmowing I Hd no other choice, Vaerie would defintelyu keep up wotih the lie to get me out of morganas hair.

She put down the handklerchief and her blue eyes show a hint of violet, showing her wolf, resonance was getting this close to taking oiver and ripping my head off my neck,. HeR wol haaates me. And it was anything but not intinimidating knowing how dangerous resonance was.

“that’s anmother lie..” her voice suddenly goes in deeper and I recognize resonance coice. Her eyes are switching inbwteeen violet and blue as she fought with my sister to take control. “I better not repeat bmyself again. Who owns this?”

According to the pack doctors, This usuLLY happens wej morgana was overwhelemed with strog emotions. But seriously? Over a piece of fabric?

“Why do you care?”

YSuddenly, she closed her eyes and I took cautious steps back, only relaxing when she opened her eyes ND It was blue- just like mine.

‘She needs to be locked up.’ Jason said out of nowhere.

‘She’s my sister.’

‘I know.’

I roll my eyes but I’m in for a shock whennshe turns the handkerchief to thed yher sude and I see what she’s been staring at. My face has the exact dame reaction with my jaw almost to the gtound.

On it was the symbol of the skull of a dead wolf’s head with a silver dagger right at theside of the head.

It was the symbol hunters yused.

That handkerchief belonged to a human.
