A wall came down in Dorien’s mind, and Kintel fell silent.Dorien stared at Reyland with dark brown eyes, his soft lips pressed into a tight, straight line.His expression had gone from rage-filled to almost neutral, blank, like he had disconnected something within himself.Somehow, that look seemed worse than the one filled with anger.Reyland blinked.As he gazed at Dorien, he suddenly felt he was being stared down on, even though he was taller than his brother by almost five inches.Somehow, at that moment, Dorien seemed bigger. Larger.“How dare you? What do you mean by such insolence?” Dorien asked coldly, his eyes fixed on his brother.For the second time that night, Reyland gaped.Dorien sounded so much like Dax that Reyland almost called him by their father’s title.For the first time in their lives, Reyland did not see his younger brother. He saw his Alpha, and he was both enthrall

It was annoying.It was irritating.Reyland was losing the peace he had come to find at his lake.He shut his eyes, turning his face to the side.All the while, his breathing had been growing ragged.Again, his mind was being pulled in different directions.He stepped back again.He reopened his eyes.His gaze drifted from his father to the father of the girl he had recently bedded.It was the first time he had seen Alpha Corien since the last time they had spoken, which had been the day before.Their conversation the last time they had met had been simple and very polite. He had approached the former Alpha himself and had asked to keep Marian company during the Remembrance ceremony.Alpha Corien had looked relieved, almost glad, and had agreed without reservation.Now, another issue had occurred.Thanks to him.Thanks to his lack of restraint.I could have stayed away from h

“How long has he been down there?” Corien had asked calmly.“Too long,” Dax had responded, equally calm.“Will you go in?” Corien had inquired, his tone tinged with concern.“No,” Dax had retorted nonchalantly.Silence.“Why did you bring me here?” Corien had asked, with thinly veiled exasperation.“Because your shrew of a daughter has cursed my son,” Dax had tossed back flatly.Corien had closed his eyes, then reopened them, his green eyes fixed on the still, frosting surface of the lake as he stood in complete silence with Dax.“Why not come with your guards?” Corien asked neutrally, moving the conversation forward.“Because too many eyes should not see my son. Not yet,” Dax had replied slowly after a short pause.Corien said nothing.“Did your child not tell you?” Dax inquired flippantly.&l

Marian closed her eyes tightly, both in her room and in her father’s mind.“Marian, we should leave…” Dinka pressed softly, feeling uncomfortable with the depth of their intrusion.Marian opened her eyes.She stared at Dax through her father’s eyes.Is this what he looks like when they’re alone? Marian mused.She had never seen the pack Alpha with such an unguarded expression or unrigid poise.Her mind wandered as Dinka pulled at her again.Marian continued to stare at Dax until a low growl started.She immediately jumped out of her father’s mind.“What was that, D.?” she asked nervously.“I don’t know. I think it was Nikal, but I don’t understand it,” Dinka replied hesitantly.“How did we get in like that?” Marina breathed inquiringly.“Marian, you need to listen to me when we are in the mind sp

Two hours later, the gathered shifters had split into smaller teams, strategizing with their designated team leaders.Four of the oldest and most experienced warriors had left the group, going to meet the pack Alpha in his private office within the pack barracks.The four were assigned to complete Alpha Dax’s team of eight.They would be part of the second force, to leave later that day. Their plans were not for the advance team to hear.Among the numbers left in the room, the advance team that would head out that afternoon, various groups were formed.Marian was placed with the pack Beta, Brock, in a team of ten. The pack Beta was getting feedback from his members on the plan he had laid out for them.Dorien was leading a team of five. He was listening to his backup on the team speak to their unit members, much as his father had done with Beta Brock.Around this same time, Gamma Jackson was elsewhere.The pack Gamma, Jac
