I wake up with a throbbing headache. Ugh why did I drink so much. Wait, I didn’t drink enough to have a hangover. I rub the back of my head and my eyes jolt open as I remember what happened after leaving Logan’s. I bring my hand back in front of me and it’s covered in dried blood. I am already healed but can tell it was a deep cut from whatever hit me. I look around and take in my surroundings. I’m not sure where I am and I don’t smell anything familiar. I try to talk to Leia but the link is not working. She is either still blocking me out or we can’t reach each other. I tried to link my parents or Colin even with the same result. I sit up and look over my body making sure I have no other injuries. To my relief there are none that I can see. I do however notice I am wearing clothes that don’t belong to me. I remember that I shifted back right before being knocked out, so that means someone else dressed me, which is super creepy and embarrassing. Ok, I know I’m not in our pack’

***Phone call, only Alpha Shane's voice is heard by Ellie. **** “Good afternoon Alpha Lawrence, it’s Alpha Shane from the Knight Moon Pack." "I’m good, thank you, I hope all is well with you and Amara." "Glad to hear it. I’m calling because I want to discuss a meeting at our border with you, your son, your Beta, his son and a few of your best warriors." "Well, I have someone that belongs to your son and assume he would like her back very much. There will need to be some negotiations made first and I am hoping to have this go peacefully. I am more than willing to keep her as my own if we cannot come to an agreement." "Thank you, Lawrence. I will see you tomorrow at the border at sunrise. Oh, and tell your son to keep his head. I know he will be Alpha next year and I am looking forward to possibly creating an alliance with your pack, but his temper will jeopardize that if he does not control his little wolf. Have a nice day.” ***End p

“It is all going to be up to you, the negotiations and how the little wolf controls himself in the morning. Don’t fret about it too much beautiful, you will be taken care of the entire time. Either I or Brandon will be with you for the duration of the meeting.” He walks over to where I am still frozen and places his hand on my back, guiding me out of the dining room. He takes me back to my room, and kisses my cheek goodnight. Still not able to respond, I just stand there. “I’ll see you in the morning beautiful, you have a lot to consider tonight. One of my t shirts are on the chair for you to wear to bed.” He closes the door and I slump over to the bed, flopping down onto it with a huff. I wish my mom was here to tell me what to do. My mind is all over the place and so is my heart. Colin, Luke, and now Shane. Shit, Luke! Oh, goddess I hope he’s ok and knows that I am safe. He will be there tomorrow at sunrise, so he must know by now. Oh no, they will all be at the same plac

Chapter 27 We head to the meeting spot and Shane takes my hand in his, rubbing the back of it with his thumb. It feels like the walk to the border takes hours when in reality it maybe takes a few minutes. I see the top of the hill and I quickly release his hand and clasp my own together in front of me, knowing who will be on the other side. Shane visibly stiffens and lets out a low growl that is barely audible. He seems like he is saddened by my actions although I am sure he understands my reasoning behind them. “Try to remember the last twenty-four hours and what I have said to you beautiful. I meant every word but will respect whatever decision you make this morning.” He doesn’t even look my way when he says this to me. I don’t think he wants to look in my eyes. To be honest I am glad he doesn’t because it may cause me to make up my mind on the spot. “I’m not ready for Shane’s temper tantrum if you leave, so if you do, take me with you please!” Brandon throws his hands in

“I will allow only the Alpha’s and Beta’s into my office. You have my word that no one will be harmed. The warriors must stay outside and wait.” Shane speaks with authority and everyone trusts that his word is true. “I will agree to that Alpha Shane. I will give you my own word that if my son or his Beta step out of line again I will personally tear them a new asshole.” Alpha Lawrence snarls at Colin and Luke who both look down in submission, knowing that they were completely out of line back there. Shane smiles and nods before showing everyone into the pack house. “Alpha’s, if you don’t mind, I would like to have a word with my daughter. The past twenty-four hours have been a nightmare for her mother and I.” It almost slipped my mind that my own father was here and how much they must have gone through. The thought of it brings me to tears. “Of course, Adam, if it is ok with Alpha Shane it is ok with me.” Shane nods his approval. “We will be in my office beautiful, just
