LOGINEvie.After hearing Magnus’s request, everyone tried too hard to act like they’d not heard anything yet they’d all been paying attention. I was pretty sure there was only one question in their minds.Why did Magnus want to speak to the Fireheart alone?“Fine,” Rodney said with a clenched jaw. Ice was starting to build up under his skin. He looked like he was about to murder Magnus.“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Rodney told me. I nodded, happy that he gave me a choice instead of making the decision for me. This version of Rodney was really a breath of fresh air.“It’s only a conversation,” I said. “I’ll manage.”“You have my word that Luna Evie will leave exactly as she arrived,” Magnus said. He clasped his hands behind his back.Rodney looked at Damien. “You’ll stay outside the room.”Damien frowned. “You think he’s going to kidnap her in the middle of the summit he called?”“Just do it,” Rodney said before turning to me. “If you’re uncomfortable, you can leave the mee
Evie.After Alpha Cedric’s question, the council room descended into silence. I turned to look at Rodney as every Alpha waited for his answer. Dozens of eyes moved between Rodney and me. Suddenly, they all wanted to discuss the Fireheart.Rodney leaned back in his chair, still maintaining a blank expression.“What exactly do you mean by ‘share the Fireheart’s blessings’?” He asked.Cedric folded his hands over the table. “The prophecy says the Fireheart strengthens Alpha bloodlines. If Crescent Pack forms alliances with other packs, then every allied Alpha benefits from her presence.”The alpha’s murmured amongst themselves and some nodded. “Stronger bloodlines could reduce the number of wolves born without wolves,” He continued. Another alpha whose name I didn’t know raised his hand. “Some of my territories have suffered weak births for generations. If the prophecy is true, an alliance with Crescent Pack could change the future of my people.”Their words sounded reasonable enough a
Evie.Everyone was acting strange around me the next morning. As I left my room, a maid carrying fresh towels saw me, lowered her head, and grinned widely while trying to hide it.“Good morning, Luna.”“Good morning.”She hurried away and heard her whispering to another servant waiting around the corner. “I told you they would get back together.”I rolled my eyes when the colleague giggled. My face heated up when I remembered the kiss that had happened in front of thousands. For a moment, I thought of turning around and locking myself back inside my room for the rest of the summit just to avoid the curious looks.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to continue. Some seconds later, two warriors from our pack walked past me.“Our Alpha finally came to his senses,” one said with a smile.His companion elbowed him. “The Luna can hear you.”It was early but the grand dining hall was already crowded. Every Alpha attending the summit occupied a long table with members of their own pack. T
Evie.Tommy wrapped his tiny arms so tightly around my neck that I could barely breathe. Although he was shaking and crying, I was so happy to have my little boy back. He was okay and that’s all that mattered.The relief was better than everything I’d ever felt. He held on to me like I’d disappear if he let me go. I was also afraid of the same happening.“Mommy,” he said. His soft voice sounded like music to my ears. Although it had a been only a few hours, I’d missed it so much. I’d missed him like crazy.“I’m here, baby.” I told him, kissing the top of his head. “I’ll never let anyone take you away again. I’m so sorry.”“Okay, mummy.”Rodney knelt beside us and his large hand rested gently on Tommy’s back.“You were very brave, my son.” He told Tommy. Tommy looked at him with tear-filled eyes. “I missed you, daddy.”“I missed you too.” Rodney said before pulling both of us into his arms without caring that his warriors were watching. For the first time that day, I felt relaxed.
Evie.They tried to prevent me from following but there was no way I could sit around and relax while my son was being held somewhere. Every instinct inside me screamed to follow them. First of all, I didn’t trust Magnus and yet he was leading the operation. What if he ended up killing Rodney just to have control of my pack and me. I knew Magnus could buy out all those elders if he wanted. I had to protect both my son and his father.After pretending to patient for twenty minutes, I stole a horse.Selene paced around as I tightened the saddle. She was way too nervous and it was starting to rub off on me. “I suppose telling you not to go would be pointless.”“Good thing you know,” I said. At this point, no one could stop me from going to look for my son. If it was unsafe for me, it was even worse for my baby. Tears welled in my eyes as I thought of the fact that he could be alone.“I’ll come too.” She volunteered. “There’s no need,” I said. “I need someone here in case Rodney sends
Rodney.The poison had stopped my heart. I remembered the cold as I was about to die. There was a deep, unending darkness, as if I was falling into some sort of abyss. I was feeling so cold and then suddenly began to feel warm. Evie’s warmth swirled around my body.Even now, hours later, I could still feel traces of her warmth lingering inside my chest, slowly burning away the remnants of the poison. It felt good to have a piece of her inside me. The curse had not acted up in a while so Evie hadn’t touched me and I’d started missing it.Joshua insisted I remain in bed but I ignored his advice. “The summit isn’t over,” I said while fastening the zip of my jacket. I was not going to spend my day lying in bed while other alphas ogled my wife and tried to flirt with her at every turn. No wonder someone had tried to poison me. maybe it was one of the alphas in the summit. I felt horrified when I realized it could even be Magnus himself.“You were clinically dead for almost half a minute,”
