Natalia POVMy eyes are wide with shock as I stare at my mate. "What do you mean you all stay inside?" I am so confused I cannot think of anything else to say. Victor holds my hand in his own and traces small circles on the top of my hand. "We stay inside during the full moon because it isn't safe for us to go out," I still cannot wipe the confused look off my face as Victor tries to explain the traditions of the rogue camp."But if werewolves don't leave their houses how will they ever find their mates?" My head cocks to the side and I bat my eyelashes. "That's just it," Victor says with an air of frustration in his voice. "What if our mate is part of the Kingdom? Our wolves could take over and we could find ourselves in trouble with the King." Biting the inside of my bottom lip I consider the consequences of going outside on the full moon versus never being able to find your mate at all. "I still think it is silly," I fuss at Victor. "All of the guards are watching the L

Natalia POVVictor chases me from his house pulling on a pair of pants and shirt as he runs wildly through the rogue camp after me. I have already made up my mind that my first stop is to be with Violet. She could definitely use some cheering up and a party is just the way to do it. Plus, she knows more members of the rogue community than I do so if I can get her on my side, hopefully I can get the rest of the rogue camp on my side as well. Victor races to catch up with me just as Violet opens her door and greets me with a weak smile. It is clear that she is still mourning the loss of her sister. Peeking around at her one room cottage she has thrown her clothes and trash all over the floor, no longer caring what the state of her home looks like. Grabbing her by the arm I pull her from the cottage and give her a bright smile. "I need your help," I say as cheerfully as I possibly can. "Oh yeah," she says sadly. "What for?""We," I say pointing to her and myself, "are going t

Victor POV After a long night of keeping watch on the border, it went exactly like Natalia said it would. None of the rogues tried to get into the Kingdom and only a few werewolves from the Kingdom filtered past the border. Their noses were stuck in the air, hunting down their mates. The sky is turning into a purplish hue indicating that the sun is slowly rising in the East. Letting out a loud sigh, I stretch my arms out to my sides and head back to the rogue camp to get some much needed sleep beside my mate. Jax is already purring gently in my head with excitement. Slowly I walk back to the rogue camp with Jax chattering loudly in my mind. He is complaining that he had to spend the full moon away from his mate because I did not trust her judgment. I have to admit that she was right. There was no threat from the Kingdom tonight. As I walk back towards the center of the rogue camp it is deserted. Everyone dispersed and went home after the night's festivities. Assuming tha

Natalia POVI stretch my arms out widely to my sides and roll over in the most comfortable bed that I have ever been in. It feels as if I am sleeping in a cloud with the softest blankets covering my skin. A series of giggles reach my ears and my eyes flutter open. Opening my mouth into a big yawn the giggles turn into shrieks of fear. Propping myself up in the comfortable bed I see little flowered heads with pointed ears peeking over the end of the bed. Their bright green eyes are shining with both fear and wonder. I have no idea where I am and who these children are. "Hello?" I say as I look curiously at the children at the end of my bed. "Where I am?" I cock my head to the side and look at the children with a smile on my face. "Where are your fangs?" One of the children asks quietly before ducting back down below the end of the bed where I can no longer see her. "Fangs?" I ask in confusion. The two children look at each other and burst into a fit of giggles. "Aren't

Alexander POV Impatiently I drum my fingers on my desk. Larissa should have been here hours ago to report on what is happening in the rogue camp. It is very unlike her to keep me waiting. I have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and I am sure that something has gone wrong with my seemingly flawless plan. While I wait I shuffle through some paperwork on my desk that has been set aside for too long. As I am flipping through the unfinished paperwork a loud knock on my door interrupts me. "Come in," I say hoping that it is Larissa on the other side. But my face falls in disappointment when I look up and see Raphael standing in the doorway to my office. "What is it?" I groan knowing that he probably only has bad news. "The Fae Creature is at our borders and would like a meeting with you," Raphael says with an odd tone in his voice. It is as if he is trying to contain some sort of excitement that is bubbling up in his chest. "Why would he want a meeting with me," I say
