I thought we were cool. I meant Jack was nicer now, but apparently, I was wrong. He was still a jerk! How could I forget he was my enemy? Argh! I wanted to slap him to erase his smirk. But I only pretended I didn’t hear what he said and looked around the street. He said nothing when he finally parked the car. When I got out of the car, I gasped to see we would head to a steakhouse. It was the best and the most expensive steak restaurant in Moon City. I bit my lower lip. What should I do? Before saying I was not hungry, my stomach growled again. I shut my eyes in frustration because I couldn’t afford to pay, even the cheapest steak here. Yes, Jack offered to pay for the dinner, but who knew if he lied? Noticing nothing, Jack stood beside me. He held the small of my back and nudged me to move. “You must be hungry. Eat as much as you can. My treat tonight.”“Are you sure? It’s not your trick again?” I asked, glaring at him because I was worried. I pretended to be brave, but inside, I

~ Nathanael/Nate ~I walked with Lisa to her room. Susanne followed us from behind. Lisa said nothing, so I didn’t fill the silence with a small talk. It was good that Alpha Fred was no longer an Alpha here. At least I knew Bill wouldn’t do anything as drastic as Alpha Fred. When we were in front of Lisa’s room, Susanne opened the door. Lisa sat on the couch while rubbing her stomach. “Miss Lisa, are you okay? Do you need me to rub your feet?” Susanne asked. Lisa let out a sigh, but after glancing at me, she shook her head. “Please bring me tea instead, Susanne. I’m thirsty.”Susanne nodded. After bowing at me, Susanne left the room. I sat next to Lisa and touched her feet. “Let me massage your feet.” Lisa said nothing and let me do what I offered her. I took her feet and massaged her legs first. She sighed and covered her eyes with her hand, then leaned her back on the couch. I glanced at a small mound of her belly and smiled. It was my pup there. I rubbed her stomach slowly. T

The next morning, I woke up early. Anna was still asleep. I let her rest more because it was my battle to face the Elders, not hers. Nate contacted me through the mind link. ‘Cam, what’s your plan with the Elders?’‘I will have a meeting and invite them. No need to wait for them to throw a meeting first. I’ll face them.’‘I’ll come with you. No matter what, I’ll defend you.’ He let out a heavy sigh. ‘I’m sorry Lisa tried to harm Anna, but she was under drug influence. I hope you can forgive her.’‘I know, Nate. Don’t worry. I won’t blame her fully for what happened, but I also don’t want to blame our father for this.’ I rubbed my chin, too weary to think, even though it was still early in the morning. ‘So, what will you do?’ Nate asked. ‘Will you blame the peace treaty?’I laughed a little. ‘Nah, I can’t do that. If I did it, I indirectly blamed our father.’‘But if you won’t blame Lisa or our father, what will you say to our Elders?’ Then Nate gasped. ‘I know it! You will shift the

Nate grabbed Lisa’s hand, but she shook her head and snatched her hand away from Nate’s. “I must do this. I won’t run away from my responsibility.” Her stare was calm but sad. “I admit everything. I brought Anna from the Wild Wolves Pack to the Hurricane Dawn Pack. Then I threatened to harm her because I hated her.” Lisa shut her eyes for a few seconds. “But in my defense, I did it outside of my conscience. I just discovered yesterday, it was my father who drugged me so I couldn’t differentiate between Nate,” she said, glancing at Nate, “the father of my pup, and Cameron. My memory was messed up badly until I thought Cameron was my pup’s father. That’s why I hated Anna ….”Nate stood and held Lisa’s hand. “Please, Elders, don’t punish Lisa for this. Yes, what she did is a hideous crime because she is our Luna. She must protect her pack member. However, she wasn’t herself when she was under the drug influence.”“Nate, Lisa, please sit down,” I commanded them. When Nate glanced at me, I

Some Elders didn’t budge to hear what Elder Tom said. Instead, they glanced at each other. Finally, one of them shook his head. “If we don’t send Anna Warren back to the Hurricane Dawn Pack, Alpha Bill may think we want to end the alliance. It will start a war!”I stood and glanced at each of those Elders in the eye. “Mark my words. The day when I must send our pack member to be ravished by others will be my last day as an Alpha of the Wild Wolves Pack.”“Son ….” My father warned me. But it had been too far. The Elder should support our people instead of outsiders. With all the facts they had listened to, they didn’t change their mind and kept suggesting to send Anna to the Hurricane Dawn Pack. It made no sense.I took a deep breath. “I will ask one more time. Do Elders agree with the decision to send Anna to the Hurricane Dawn Pack?”My father, Elder Tom, and some others instantly said, “Nay!”But those evil Elders said, “Aye!”“As Elders are separated into two poles, let me say my
