Chapter 15
*Fiona*
I woke up with my head killing me, a sign that I indeed had too much to drink the night before. I groaned as I rolled over to find some pain medication with a water bottle next to my bed. There was also a note from Beta Ned, telling me to rest, as he would take over my duties for today. At least I had some time to get through my hangover and process last night. I took the pills and downed my water in one go. Sitting up, I realized I must have fallen asleep the moment I got back into my room. I was still wearing my dress and my pillow was covered in make-up. A shower was exactly what I needed.
One of the perks of being an Alpha is definitely having an over the top bathroom. The room itself was spacious, with heated flooring to make the room comfortable year-round. I walked into my shower, which was big enough to hold at least four people with room to move around. Multipl

*Fiona*I barely made it to the packhouse door, when a body came flying at me encompassing me in a hug."Finn..." squealed the girl. Anna was always in a good mood. She made her sunshine wherever she went, making it easy to be her friend. She broke the hug and spoke very seriously, still smiling. "Now I've already gone and told my brother off. The jerk.""He could have handled it better, but it's not his fault," I said not wanting to talk about it. "clearly the moon goddess has other plans.""Please, what good are plans that don't involve us being sisters?" She said putting her arm around me. I laughed at her comment. I had always admired her charisma and ability to talk her way into any situation.&nb

*Fiona* Arriving back at the packhouse after dark, I was glad I took the day to hang out with Anna and Liz. I felt like a normal person and not an Alpha, which was a nice change. There wasn't much talk about Cyrus, other than Anna deciding what outfit she wanted to wear to impress him. She chose a body-con white dress and a white cropped jean jacket to dress it down. She went heavy on some jewellery as well. She looked good, I could see quite a few males checking her out in the mall.She had insisted on picking out outfits for Liz and me as well. For Liz, she chose a sundress that brought out her feminine side. She had picked it after Liz talked a bit about the werewolf she had been flirting with at the party. She had gotten his number and Anna gave her statement to his character. Anna wanted her to have the perfect first date outf

*Fiona*Rachel was at the hostess stand when we entered the restaurant. Her eyes went wide, clearly remembering my foul mood from yesterday when I crushed my phone."A-a-alpha Fin" she stuttered "We weren't expecting you.""Last minute decision to celebrate Anna's birthday,'' I said smiling to reassure her "our usual spot will do if it's availble""Of course, right away, will Alpha David be joining us as well." She asked as she signalled someone to prepare our table."Not today," I said plastering on a fake smile. "No doubt he'll be spending the day getting to know his mate." Rachel yipped, surprised by the news, but said nothing. I

*Fiona* I turned towards the stranger, as the other left. He wore a dark designer suit with a long suit jacket. His hair was neatly trimmed and his skin was unearthly pale. His black eyes watched me unwavering, most would find it unnerving. I steeled myself for the conversation about to unfold, knowing it would only bring bad news. "I have a phone, you know," I said approaching the man. He chose to ignore my tone, instead of laughing, relieving some of the tension. "Ah, my little wolf" he spoke smiling, "Always bringing mirth to any situation." "You're far too serious," I replied. It was odd that he was being so open. "I didn't think you were a fan of meeting i

*Cyrus*Something was wrong; I could feel it. Why had Fiona stayed back to talk to the stranger? I had only been there for a moment, but Blaze had been deeply unsettled by the stranger, sending goosebumps up my arm. It wasn't their unnerving presence that had unsettled me most. It was the lack of scent. I had tried to pick up the scent to see who it was but got nothing. I didn't even realize that was possible. At least not without some strong magic.I thought about it all the way back to the packhouse, barely registering Liz or Anna's presence. Anna left pretty quickly after we got back. Partly because I ignored her on the way back, partly because Liz hurried her home. Did that mean Liz was concerned as well? We both sat on different couches in the hall for a moment. Liz also seemed uneasy. When the silence became overbearing I spoke.

*Fiona*My mind was racing a mile a minute after talking to Andre. I wasn't sure how credible his claim was, but if it was even slightly true I need to act and quickly. I was pushing the panic from my mind as best as I could. Flashbacks to my time in captivity kept flooding in, making it hard to focus. Not again, was the thought driving towards the packhouse. Never again, was my call to action.Seeing Cyrus, when I got back, was a shock. I was was equal parts thankful that he was there and annoyed that he waited up for me. Being around him seemed to chase some of the anxiety away. I stood near my office desk, still on edge waiting for Ned and Liz to arrive. It was nearly two in the morning at this point, but I felt wired. I had pulled out a map of the pack and was studying it, ignoring Cyrus' questions as he paced the office. Eventually, he gave up and stood

*Fiona*The room was only silent for a second as they processed what I told them. Cyrus was the first to speak, clearing his throat."There are...vampires," he spoke slowly to clarify what I said: "that want to...""Kidnap me." I nodded, repeating what I had just told everyone."Where did you even get this information from?" Dante asked sceptically."Andre," I said, "who is...""A vampire." Cyrus finished my sentence. I could tell this news was deeply unsettling for him as he shifted in his chair. "I'm sorry but how do we even know we can trust him?""We have a...shared history," I responded. I could tell it wasn't enough though, for Cyrus, he didn't look convinced. I added: "He owes me a life debt." The room was silent once again, I could feel what they

*Fiona*The room was in full swing, despite the fact the sun had yet to rise. Dante, Ned and Liz were in and out of the office, making contact with the necessary parties to strengthen pack defences. Cyrus had refused to leave the room, never more than a few arms lengths away from me. It helped keep me calm and my mind focused on the task at hand."We need to postpone opening the borders," he commented as we were strategizing."We can't do that" Liz protested "The entire pack has been looking forward to Fiona's birthday celebration for months. Some of the pack will be leaving to travel here in less than a day.""I'm sure they'll understand," Cyrus pointed out, turning to me to reason with Liz."I agree with Liz," I said despite Cyrus' look of protest "We can't afford to risk any of these alliances and appear weak."
