Duncan“I’m sorry, what?” I choked out.“My mother. The head omega. She originally came to this pack from the Royal Pack. My father was from Blood Moon, which is how she ended up here. When he died in a rogue attack years ago, Mom asked to go back to her home pack and take me with her, but Alpha James refused. Mom didn’t push it, because she didn’t want to risk me. But lately, there have been things happening that…we’ll talk about those later. Needless to say, Mom told me a few weeks ago that she was going to try to get a message out to the queen before my friend’s birthday. She didn’t tell me she actually did, though,” Kayla told us.“Why your friend’s birthday?” Lucian asked. So far, he’d stayed pretty quiet, but I’m not surprised he picked up on that. There must be some significance there.“Because we were worried they’re going to kill her, or worse. And we were right to worry; she almost didn’t survive the last beating. She still may not, as they dumped her in the dungeons instead

“Fifteen percent for six.”“Ten percent.”“Fine. Assuming that I find six that I like, that is,” he stated, flipping through the photos on the tablet.“Simply mark the ones you want as you’re going through. I can send one that you like to your cottage for a preview while you’re here, but I will warn you, Crescent Moon is here,” I sighed at that. “The Royal Pack complained that we’ve been too stingy with our guest list for the past several balls. We had to add several packs that we would not normally invite. Honestly, I expected them to decline as they’ve declined every invitation to every mating ball in the area for the last two years, but for some reason they chose this event to change their minds.”“You don’t think that’s suspicious?” he asked. “Annoying, yes; suspicious, not really. I questioned Alpha Duncan, and he indicated his parents are pushing him to find his mate so that they can fully retire. He’s young, and so is the group they brought with him. I don’t anticipate any rea

I made my way through the ballroom, whiskey in hand, as I watched the wolves present mingling and exchanging small talk. I hated every minute I was wasting here, but in order to get Kayla and Seren out of this pack, I had to play the part of the unmated Alpha searching for his mate. “Alpha Duncan,” I heard from behind me. Turning around, I came face to face with the smarmy little heir of the pack, Tobias. I’m still reeling from my earlier vision, and it’s taking everything in me not to attack him right here in the middle of the party.“Tobias.” I greeted. “I have to say, I was surprised when we received your RSVP, and even more so when you actually showed up. We don’t typically see you attending mating balls,” he said.“Well, I am getting older. My parents are pushing me to find a luna for our pack so that they can fully retire, so I thought, ‘Why not go?’ when the invitation came through,” I told him. It was a valid excuse, and something a fool like him would take at face value. “

Duncan“Shit,” Julian said. He took the keys from me and unlocked the cell door, leaping out of the way once he’d gotten it open.I rushed to her side. She looked impossibly small, lying curled up on the cot. Smaller even than she had seemed in the vision I’d had. I tentatively reached out to brush the hair from her face as Kayla joined me by her side. Faint tingles flew up my fingers as I touched her. Too faint. She was fading. Kayla moved quickly, finding the water bottle that was hidden under the blanket. She opened it and handed it to me. “Try this. Maybe it will help.” I picked Seren up and sat down with her on my lap. This extraction would go much easier if we didn’t have to carry her out, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. “Seren. Beautiful, open your eyes for me. Come on, Seren. Wake up,” I said to her, stroking her cheek. Her face was still black and blue from the attack, so I was trying my best not to cause her any more hurt, even if she was unconscious. I tried to

Alpha James“He paid us three-quarters of a million dollars just for her. Damn right I did. You’ll get a larger cut on her, since I know you had your eye on her, but even you have to agree that we couldn’t say no to that price. And if you don’t, you’ll get over it anyway,” I told him. He had an unhealthy obsession with that girl, and he came damn close to killing her in this last incident. I don’t want to explain a dead omega. That’s much harder to handle than omegas who just…disappear.“You knew she was mine! I had plans! I can’t believe you!” He was pacing around the room now, throwing his hands up in the air as he spoke. “Then, not only do you sell her, but you lose her before we can deliver. What the hell, Father? How could this happen?” He was still pacing, but his tone had calmed down a bit. “I don’t know all the details, but we’ll find out. Those two omegas from the kitchen helped get her out. They’ve always had a soft spot for her. We need to speak with the guard when he fina
