Victor POVI stood there contemplating her request. I am in no position to make that call. Unfortunately, Alpha Rick is still in the hospital unconscious and unable to speak with the Luna. I am certainly not announcing to the Luna his condition and whereabouts. I will just have to gather all the information I can and speak with the other high-rank members about a solution if there is one.I sat down in my seat and studied her. Her emotions and appearance seem genuine and Tori’s reaction to her is not as guarded as I would expect it to be for someone showing false emotions or having any hidden agenda. Even Ivan feels as if she is truthful about her speculations on her brother-in-law.I was about to ask her for examples and proof when I noticed Tori stifle a yawn and rub her eyes. It’s been a long night and day for both of us. Spending the night watching over Rick and then sparring this morning, she probably has no energy left to talk about accusations and solutions as serious as this.

Tori POV“Good evening, Luna! How are you?” I asked, as Victor and I walked into the private dining room. Victor thought it would be better to have her dine with us in private so we could keep her visit unsuspected. Victor, Eric, Tammy, Charles, our Delta, the Luna and I were sitting around the table.“Hello Miss Tori. I am well, thank you.” Charles stepped behind her to hold her chair and push it in for her. I gave him a small grin and nodded.“Thank you, young man. What is your name?” Luna asked him as he went to sit but froze behind his chair at her question. He glanced over to Victor, who nodded.“Uhh..I I I’m Charles Dunfy. Mystic Moon’s Delta, Luna.” He fidgeted a little before he pulled out his chair and sat.“Nice to meet you.” She smiled at Charles who turned beet red. He smiled looking down. I chuckled to myself as Victor pushed my chair in for me. He leaned down and kissed my cheek before taking his own seat.The kitchen staff brought in the carts to serve us our dinner. Th

Teaghan POVI sat in the leather lounge chair next to Rick’s hospital bed for the last few hours hoping that he’d wake up. Every now and then he would hiccup with the breathing tube but never open his eyes. The doctor came in about an hour ago to check his vitals and condition. He seemed pleased with his progress, although I didn’t see any but apparently, Rick was showing stronger signs of brain activity on the EEG.They still had no clue what kind of poison was on the knife but did know it was some form of wolfsbane and it was laced with something else. They were running tests to find out what.A nurse walked in with a tray of medication. Laying it down on the bedside table, she turned to me.“Miss, you should go home for a bit and get some rest. Get something to eat, other than hospital food.” I shook my head with a smile. There was no way I was leaving this room. If he was to wake up even for a moment and I wasn’t here, I would never forgive myself.“Thanks, but I don’t want to lea

Tori POVI stood there with my mouth open and eyes wide. I stared at my father waiting for him to start laughing as if it were a joke. Our last conversation did not end well, and I felt like he had a change of heart. Maybe I was not what he had hoped for. Maybe he thought I would be stronger, smarter, prettier, more wolf.His words were like a ray of guiding light, a light that shined down on us telling everyone that we were family. I was his daughter, and he was my father. I prayed for the day of acceptance from him, and this is the acceptance light at the end of the tunnel of hope. He was going to announce me as his daughter! To say that I was happy would be a huge understatement. Now the entire pack would know that I am the Alpha’s daughter, heir to the pack, and Victor would be my chosen mate and Rick’s son-in-law.I bet they never thought that would happen! I’m sure he still won’t let us mark each other yet, but he does have some explaining to do like why he waited so long. For n

Merrick POVI was having a wonderful heart-warming, air-clearing, loving moment with my daughter and what I now consider my family. Confusion from Tori thinking that I was disappointed in her as my daughter was heart-wrenching. I had no idea that she thought I was disappointed and embarrassed by her. It was not my intent on hiding her away from the rest of the world, but I had to keep her safe. I spent so long without her; I wasn’t ready to share her with anyone. Other than those already in her life, and Goddess forbid I keep her away from Victor, he’d have my head. Alpha or not.Right now, I need to make things right. After I was stabbed, I could only think about what would happen to Tori. My mind kept playing different scenarios on who would take care of her, or who could hurt her and take her away. I couldn’t let that happen. I needed everyone to know who she was and her place in my life. She tried to ask if I was sure that I wanted this, I knew now was the time, she needed to know
