Emotions were running high, Cora's mind was as unstable as her body was. She was sore all over from the shift.
She also could not get Everett out of her mind, nor the fact that he was somewhere unsafe or probably gravely dead or injured. Her mother had tried to comfort her with the fact that she would be able to physically feel if Everett was in pain only if their bond was strong enough but she wasn't feeling anything and she couldn't tell if it was because their bond was weak or because he wasn't hurt.
Her head hurt thinking about the endless possibilities. She couldn't feel the bond, she had tried every possible way and sent countless mind links but none seemed to be going through, it was as if there was a mental block somewhere keeping her messages from getting to him.
"Cora."
Her mother called as s
Cora's father's words brought commotion and confusion to everyone in the court. There was a lot of murmuring for a long time before the members of the council called for order."Explain yourself! The Alpha superiors Luther and Henry sent you on a mission?"Alpha Eli barked and Cora's father nodded. He was surprisingly calm for someone that had threw a bomb that threw the whole of the council into confusion."That is indeed true. I have spent my time in the human world working for my pack and the Alpha Superiors. And I emerged victorious when the leader of the rogues was captured by my team and brought to justice. I also succeeded in making sure that there would never again be a regrouping of the rogues in the human world."That expla

"Principal Claude, this young lady here, do you know her?"One of the council members asked and he nodded. Cora's heart was beating loudly in her chest. She knew he didn't like her, but was he really going to lie about whatever happened just to overthrow her father?Could he and Beta Landon be so desperate?"Yes. Cora Windsor recently became a student at the Avalon Academy.""As a Principal and a wolf of the Custodes Lunaes, from your point of view, do you think she would make a good Alpha?"He asked and Principal Claude cleared his throat. He looked down at Cora with a menacing look before turning away haughtily.Cora buried her face in her hands. He was going to support Beta Landon. S
After the Council and everyone else had dispersed, Noah and Cora had plans of their own.It didn't take much convincing for her parents to let her go, after all they were still reeling from all the excitement of the day and had much to discuss with the pack elders.If they wanted to find Everett, they had to follow Principal Claude, Noah insisted as he told Cora about how he had found out Everett was working for the Principal. Aft first she had been confused, why would he spy on her even if he had been ordered to do it. And then she understood better. An opportunity like that, to do a favour for the Principal and get something else in return, most people would want that.But what did Everett want?

They had almost lost hope as midnight drew closer with their eyes tired from waiting without seeing anyone after long hours in the woods.The Principal and four other men, with two carrying Everett walked bout quietly from Custodes Lunaes borders.Noah and Cora followed closely after. But once it became clear and obvious that they were taking the path to the river, Noah mind linked the wolves waiting in ambush as fast as he could."He looks hurt."Cora murmured as she watched the way Everett limped along with the werewolves dragging him. Several times she tried reaching out to him though their mat
