Chapter 49 Knowing
Deimos
It takes a while for Zalia to calm down and by the time she is breathing a little calmer she pushes me into a room, while Nyx pulls Leander with her. “Alpha Brad, what can I do for you?” I hear Benjamin ask and I realize that everyone had heard Twilight roar when Leander described Mandy’s Aunt to us.
“We heard a roar and realized it came from your floor. What happened?” Alpha Brad asks and for a moment it is silent, but then Benjamin starts speaking. We found a bottle with lotion in the kitchen and when I looked at the security footage Zalia lost control to Twilight. Here, take a look for yourself.” Benjamin says.
I can hear a female growl as I assume she watches the footage, suddenly I hear multiple footsteps run onto the Gamma floor and 1 hear Alpha Brad ask them what they are doing here. Zalia is our friend and when we heard Twilight’s roar we came to investigate. Someone answers and Benjamin tells them the same. thing he told Alpha Brad:
Her friends tell her that they will stay with her, but Alpha Brad points out that she is in the Pack–house and that there is no need for them to stay. “I will increase patrols around the Pack–house and I will add a few Warriors to the security detail inside the Pack–house.” He tells them before he sends them home.
If I had to guess those are Zalia’s other friends and they will come back up here through the Omega stairwell, but they will make it look like they are believing Alpha Brad. “Zalia, where is that bottle of lotion?” I hear an unfamiliar male voice ask and I wonder who the male is or why he is on the Gamma floor.
Zalia
The closer we get to Moon Stone Pack the more agitated Twilight becomes, we have been wondering what Alpha Brad has planned and the one thing that keeps popping into my mind is a forceful marking. There is a slight problem with that though, they will need to sedate me for that to happen and Donovan knows he isn’t strong enough to hold me down long enough for him to complete that task.
We go over every way they could try to sedate me and already informed Dad I wouldn’t be having dinner in the main dining room and I sure as hell won’t eat something I didn’t prepare myself. So with that covered I tried to figure out which other ways they could come up with to sedate me, but the only thing 1
with is a syringe and I doubt they believe that they can get close enough to me to pull that off.

It feels strange when I see Deimos walk off with Nyx, not that I am jealous or something like that, it seems as if a part of me is walking away from me. I feel a lot better when he wraps his arms around me and Twilight is finally settling down in my mind again, both of us enjoying the comfort we get as I place my head against his chest.
I can feel anger radiating from Deimos the moment Nyx opens the bottle of lotion and when he says there is Wolfsbane in the bottle I finally understand how they planned on forcefully marking me, but when Leander starts describing the female that placed it in the kitchen Twilight releases a mighty roar.
“Have they lost their fucking minds? I am going to rip them apart.“Twilight growls in my head. “Calm down, Theilight. We need to calm down and think about this carefully. With us knowing about the lotion and who put it there, no one will expect us to use it. Taking away their one opportunity to sedate me, they need to come up with something else and that means they will screw up.” I say to her.
Telling her this and Deimos‘ arms wrapped around us is what calms her down, but then I hear footsteps on the stairs and I nush Deimos into Slater’s old room. Twilight is keening a an eve on Alpha Brad and

Donovan as Dad explains why I roared and I am surprised to find out that our floor has security cameras, but also grateful because now we don’t have to tell a complete lie.
“He doesn’t look to happy with you finding out who dropped off the bottle and I think Luna Hester is in on it.“Twilight says and I know she will explain everything to me once everyone has left the Gamma floor. Beta Fred asks where the bottle is, but I know I can’t hand it over and not just because I don’t want to hand it over.
“I will be right back, I placed it in my room before Dad called me out here.” I say and I am glad I had taken the note from Nyx before she opened it. I
lk into my room to grab a bottle of lotion from the bathroom and I am glad they used my usual brand, it makes this just a little bit easier.
I place the note around the neck of the bottle before I walk out of my bedroom again and I close and lock the door behind me. “Here it is, Beta Fred.” I say as I walk towards the living room and I hand him the bottle before anyone else can take it from me, his eyes xed on the note. “You found your Mate.” He says after he has read the note.
Twilight and I had kept our eyes on him and we both see an emotion in his eyes that I would call relief, but it disappears so fast that I can’t be to sure about. “Congratulations and where is the lucky male?” He asks as he looks around the living room and Alpha Brad tells him that my Mate isn’t here, that he has a job to do at the Palace.
“Okay, that’s it. Beta Fred knows something but I doubt he is on their side.“Twilight growls when we see sheer panic in his eyes, I think she is right about Beta Fred and I wonder if he knows more about Alpha Brad. It takes at least another thirty minutes before everyone has left the Gamma floor and I really pissed off Luna Hester when I declined dinner on the Alpha floor.
I told her I wanted to spend my last night at Moon Stone Pack with my Dad and my friends, that I didn’t want to be faced with Donovan and Gibson. The only one that seemed relieved that I refused to have dinner with them was Beta Fred and it confirmed my suspicions, he knows more about what happened over thirty years ago.
Dad locks the door the moment he closes it behind Alpha Brad and the moment I hear the click of the lock I feel two arms wrap around me, turning around in Deimos‘ arms to wrap my arms around his waist. T hear footsteps coming up the Omega stairwell and I tell Nyx to unlock the door for the others, I need to spend some time with my friends and forget about this for just a little while.
I smile when I see Gaia and Kianda walk into the kitchen with a few containers filled with food and I know we are going to have an old fashioned night together, with of course the exception of this not being a complete girl’s night. Leander follows them into the kitchen as he asks questions about what we are having for dinner and Dad tells Nyx to place the bottle in a zipper bag he is holding out to her.
None of us wants it to start leaking and we want to make sure that it gets to the Palace in one piece, we need it as evidence. Deimos keeps a close eye on the bottle and I feel him relax a little the moment Dad closes the bag, he really doesn’t like the idea of that being to close to any of us. I can’t blame him as it is known to be harmful to Wolves and Lycans, it is more Harmful to Wolves than it is to Lycans.
Not that I would willingly take some Wolfsbane, for a Wolf it could become a case of life and death while for a Lycan it would cause them to lose their connection to their Lycan for a while. The higher the dosage of Wolfsbane the more dangerous it is and I truly believe that the amount of Wolfsbane in that lotion would be enough to disconnect me from Twilight for a couple of hours.
It would also weaken me because of the loss of my Lycan and Donovan would probably be strong enough in that case to keep me from fighting him off, making it possible for him to mark me against my will. I bury my nose in Deimos‘ chest as Twilight and I become agitated, one of his hands is running circles on my lower back while the other is tangled in my hair.

“You’re safe, Angel. I won’t let anything happen to you. He whispers in my ear as I inhale his scent deeply. I can feel Goliath near the surface and Twilight enjoys feeling her Mate close by. She can’t wait to have some alone time with her Mate, she wants us to complete the Mate–bond as soon as we can and I agree with her whole heartedly.
I don’t want to risk anyone finding out what Alpha Brad has figured out, but I also need to tell Deimos about my secret. He needs to know what he is getting himself into, I know he will become over–protective of me until we are fully marked and mated and even then he will demand I stay close by his side. Which I will have absolutely no problem with to tell you the truth.
I doubt there is a female that will chose to be separated from her fated Mate, I know I hated being away from Deimos and Goliath last night and I know both of them hadn’t enjoyed being away from me and Twilight. “Do we wait until we’re back at the Palace to tell them?“Twilight asks and I snuggle a little closer to Deimos‘ chest as I think about her question..
“I know I can trust my friends, but I don’t trust Alpha Brad and if Tam being honest I don’t even trust Luna Hester anymore. I will use our mind–link… “I let the sentence trail off as I suddenly realize something and I link Nyx to tell her what I’m suspecting. Her eyes widen when she realizes I might be right and that means they might know that Deimos and Leander are here.
