تسجيل الدخولEvie. Magnus was not as terrifying as Rodney had said. Unless, of course he was pretending. Rodney had mentioned he was manipulative. If that was the case, then I was falling right into his trap. Maybe he wanted to get on my good side for selfish reasons and I was there being all friendly with him. He stood beside me with one hand resting casually on the stone railing as we both listened to music from the hall. Suddenly, there was a high-pitched scream. It came from inside the palace. It was followed by another and the clashing of steel against steel. Magnús and I glanced at each other. That was definitely not music. Before we could make a move, a masked assassin burst through the balcony doors, five others following behind him. They all had black armors and black masks. The lead assassin ignored me and sprinted straight toward Magnus who sidestepped effortlessly. The assassin’s sword struck empty air. “So,” Magnus murmured lazily. “You’ve finally come.” He drew a silver blade h
Evie. Magnus had to be the most intimidating alpha I had ever met. He didn’t have to raise his voice or fist. He just had the confidence of a man who knew no one in the room could challenge him. After formally welcoming every Alpha, attendants opened the banquet hall. Music filled the room as servants carried out delicious dishes. Rodney remained beside me almost the entire time. Eventually, Damien pulled him away after several neighboring Alphas requested a private discussion about border security. “I’ll only be a few minutes,” Rodney murmured to me. “I’ll be okay. I don’t need a baby sitter.” His eyes lingered on Magnus across the room before he left. As soon as Rodney disappeared, Magnus rose and came to where I was. “May I?” he asked, gesturing toward the empty chair beside me. His manners caught me off guard. I mean he was the most powerful person in that place. He could do whatever he wanted without asking. “You don’t need my permission.” I said, studying the fabric use
Evie. We reached a massive valley at around midday, leaving the mountains behind. There were many castles by the lakes and banners fluttered in the air. Wolves from every region of the continent crowded the enormous palace at the center of the valley. “The Summit Hall,” Damien said as our cars pulled through the gates. “So many people,” I said, staring in awe at the large numbers. Some alphas had travelled alone while others came with their families. “So many alphas,” Selene said looking like a teenager in love for the first time. This wasn’t just another gathering. Every powerful Alpha on the continent was here which meant lots of power and danger. Many alphas were volatile. Having too many of them in one place was a recipe for disaster. The enormous grand hall was buzzing with conversation and laughter. Marble pillars stretched to a ceiling painted with the history of the werewolf kingdoms. Rows of long banquet tables were illuminated by massive chandeliers, each bearin
Evie. Wolves filled the yard on the morning we left Crescent Pack. The Warriors stood in neat rows, with their gleaming polished armors. The pack women spoke to me and wished me well while servants loaded supplies onto the cars. Everyone was there to see their Alpha and Luna who were traveling to the Alpha Summit. I still wasn’t used to hearing people call me Luna but was slowly getting used to it. Children waved excitedly as Tommy climbed into the car. We decided to travel with him since all the strong people we trusted were going with us. I couldn’t leave him alone while the person who was causing problems for us was still at large. “Mommy!” he called out. “Can I go with Daddy?” Rodney looked at me first. It was such a small thing that he could have decided for himself but he chose to ask me as well. I nodded. Tommy squealed happily and scrambled into Rodney’s lap. “I get both of you!” he declared. Damien rolled his eyes as he got into another car. “I already miss the
RodneyThree days later, Evie had recovered enough to walk again, but the Fireheart inside her had weakened greatly. Healer Joshua assured me the effects were temporary so we were all hoping for the best. Unfortunately, the investigation had not yielded the desired results. We questioned everyone but no one gave us a reasonable lead. It was as though the poison had appeared out of thin air. Whoever was behind it was extremely careful.I sat in the council chamber with Damien, Joshua, and the pack elders, studying another useless report. Evie was also in the room. I’d told her not to bother but she claimed to be strong enough.“No witnesses,” Damien said, tossing the parchment onto the table.I clenched my jaw. “I think we’re missing something.”Before anyone could respond, there was a knock and the doors opened. A royal messenger entered, dressed in black and silver armor that was not commonly worn in Crescent Pack. He bowed respectfully.“Alpha Rodney Harding.”“Who sent you?” I ask
Rodney.It was such a relief when the battle ended. Crescent Pack was quiet again. Elders sat together beneath the old oak tree, thanking the Moon Goddess for protecting the pack while everyone else had gone back to their normal activities.We had won, and it was all thanks to Evie. If she had not used her Fireheart powers to save everyone, I didn’t know what would have happened to the pack. The attack was a surprise, and the attackers were strong and coordinated. Whoever had planned it was mighty. At first, I suspected Lucien but then remembered that Lucien adored Evie. He may have been a moron, but I couldn’t imagine him attacking us. Lucien and I had issues, but it was more like a ‘frenemies’ situation, at least that’s what I thought on my side.Evie was now the star of the show. Wherever she walked, wolves stopped to thank her. The mothers whose children she rescued embraced her with tears in their eyes. The warriors she healed bowed respectfully whenever she passed. Even the eld
