Lyla's POV "So, here's the pack's clinic and right here, there's no sort of treatment that isn't adopted and used. Traditional use of herbs and the modern use of drugs even to chants and magic, we use it" I turned to look at Devante in disbelief. Devante came into Damon's room this morning to ask me if I was bored out of my mind because Damon spent the night at the borders again and Ashley was still recovering from the attack that happened three days ago. It took me a while to get over it but I knew I had to.  Even though sleeping alone at night was scary, I still did it. I couldn't let myself be weak and draw back Damon on his activities. If I hadn't pretended to be strong when he was leaving for the borders at the first night, he would've waited and that would have affected the pack. They

Damon's POV*Alpha, we need you at the perimeter* Tunde informed me through the mindlink. I was at the border's office with Dean, trying to plan out our next move and what we could use to reinforce our boundaries and not make us penetrable by these attackers. *What's going on?* *Something urgent needs your permission"  Dean stood up abruptly from his seat almost at the same time that I did. Someone must have mindlinked him as well. "A wolf was sighted at the borders" He informed me."A rogue?" "No, a regular wolf. A Beta to be precise" He replied and I frowned.A pack's beta just couldn't come to my borders without a prior notice or information. It was almost impossible. As fast as we could move, we reached the borders and we met our warriors in a defensive stance. The wolf had already shifted to a human

Damon's POVThe night air was cold, the lack of humidity had drained all senses of comfort that one could find in the night, or maybe it was because I'd been sitting outside here for more than two hours waiting for Lyla and the old woman to be done with whatever they were talking about.  "I said it! I said it!!" Ashley yelled as she and her brother, Tunde, walked towards me.  I was sitting on a small mountain located closer to the hospital. "Why are you excited about that?" Tunde asked his sister.  "I already confirmed my suspicion to her about what she was but she found it difficult to believe me. I can finally say now that I wa

Damon's POVTwo days have passed and the pack has experienced another deadly attack at the borders, even though we were smart enough to fight those vampires and wolves off, the attack still left some of our men wounded. The vampires were just seven in numbers while the wolves were two.  We already made an arrangement about how to get the uranium at my Uncle's house a few kilometers away from the pack. I decided to go with Tunde and Beta Moon but the others refused, saying it was too dangerous to make such a decision. Both the Alpha and the Beta couldn't leave the pack vulnerable just like that without any protection. I would've suggested Dean should stay here but Dean's duty to the hospital is much bigger than something he could leave behind.

Lyla's POVThe black wolf that saved me earlier was already standing beside me at the door leading into the safehouse. At some point, it'll stare at me and I'll be forced to look away. A knock came from inside the house and I quickly opened it to reveal Blue."Go back inside Blue," I yelled at him."I'll go, Ashley said I should tell you to be careful and that I should also tell you that wolf is Devante"  My eyes almost went out of its socket with surprise. I chased Blue back inside and locked the door quickly. The silence was eerie, we haven't heard anything or anyone including the vampires for a
