After the food and drinks were done people started to leave or stay in empty barack rooms or whatever empty homes were available but for the most part, people chose to leave and head back to their own packs. Once the food and everything else was cleaned up and the candles had safely burned down and the fires were put out it was finally time to call it a night. I went inside and straight to the bathroom, having a long shower and scrubbing every inch of my body and my hair.Once I was done I lotioned my skin and put on panties as well as a green slip nightgown. I went into the bedroom and right to my jewellery box, finding my ring from Cadmus and once more slipping it back onto my finger. I also took the signet ring Gram had given back to me and slipped it on my thumb since it was the only finger big enough to fit comfortably. I stepped up into the living room and smiled upon seeing all my men relaxing on the couches and chairs. I walked forward and smiled at Brodryn and

I sat in my office for the next few hours and called each Alpha in our alliance, starting with Silas and it was a strained conversation but he didn’t have any light to shed on the situation, his warriors hadn't seen any of the black wolves at all. Talking with the other Alphas turned out to be just as pointless as no one else had any reports of a run-in with the black wolves. It was increasingly frustrating not to have any other intel to go off of in terms of these wolves. So far the council wasn’t nearly as helpful as you would assume. Perhaps it was time that Magnus as a member of the council put his foot up their collective ass and finally get some answers. I stayed in my office for the rest of the morning, making sure to catch up on all paperwork. Eventually, I returned to the house and went into the kitchen, swiping a big glass of cold water and looking for a snack to eat. I was bent

“I have to admit, I’m becoming a fan of Miss Tilly’s food. It definitely hits the spot.” Cadmus said with a nod as he finished the last of his burger and started to clean up the garbage. I nodded and helped clean up, throwing it all in the garbage before going back and sitting with him on the couch, cuddling into his side. “I’m glad you’re a fan.” I chuckled and rested my head on his chest, holding his hand and sighing in contentment. “I’m more a fan of this than anything else. I enjoy the quiet moments we get together.” He murmured as he kissed the top of my head. “We haven’t had enough of them, unfortunately. And there's been no time at all to have any sort of conversation.” I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair. “And what type of conversation are you wanting to

The atmosphere was tense, every single person on edge as the black wolves stalked along the outskirts of the gathering, snarling and nipping at anyone who tried to make a run for it. There were gasps and cries of kids as their parents held them close and tried to soothe them, the air thick with the miasma and the undeniable stench of fear. I kept my gaze on the Alpha and stood ready for an attack, his bright wolf eyes in hues of amber scanned the crowd before landing on me surrounded by my men. : Well well well well, Little Alpha is now crowned, but still no mate. You are leaving your people vulnerable for your own selfish reasons, Feilan. : There were surprised shrieks and gasps from some as his rough voice was heard through a mass mind link, talking to everyone at once. I glared at him and knew my eyes were glowing dark emerald with my wolf close to the sur

Life became extremely hectic over the next month and it felt like there was no time to stop and take a breather. We hadn’t seen the black wolves at all for a month and it left us extremely nervous. Why the near-constant attacks and then just stop all of a sudden? It didn’t make sense. Turns out, they were back to attacking other packs, only this time, it was resulting in the deaths of a few wolves from each pack. It wasn’t just attacks in this region either, it now became attacks all over North America. Did this mean their numbers were larger than we had originally assumed? Were there multiple factions of these black wolves? A lot of things were still left unanswered, but thankfully we did manage to get some of our questions answered. With all of the contacts we had, we were able to get a pretty extensive and knowledgeable network of shared information. Kane had reached out to the packs he was allied with
