“You do?” I whisper back, looking behind me, checking that neither Cara nor Mia are around to overhear this discussion. There’s no sign of either of them.
Ethan nods.

“So, what will you do when you’re in DarkWood? Remember that’s where your science competition will be. What will you do if he is there?” I eye Ethan closely, curious to see how the boy reacts.
He looks puzzled, like he hadn’t considered this as an option.
“L… I don’t know…,” Ethan’s voice trails off.
At once I’m reminded of his still very young age. Despite his advanced maturity and intelligence, Ethan is still only a small child.
There’s still a lot he must learn, a lot of lessons ahead that only life itself can teach him.
Eamon’s POV
“Can you please show me the financial spreadsheet again?” I ask my secretary.
I’m working on an important collaborative project between Pack BloodyMoon and Pack DarkWood. We’re pooling our resources, trying to get a better deal than either of us could acquire alone.
My secretary hands me the spreadsheet and I look at the bottom, to the line item dedicated to the split of the profits.
When we first came up with the idea for this project, Alaric and I had agreed to split the profits equally, with each pack receiving 50%.
But on this new updated sheet, I see that the portion of profit assigned to Pack BloodyMoon is…
80%?!
When did that happen?!
“Who last updated this document?!” I ask my secretary incredulously.
“It looks like it was last signed by Alpha King Alaric Grant, sir,” she says.
Alaric?
Why would he forfeit so much profit for his own pack?

What could he possibly have to repay…
Oh. Of course… he mentioned about wanting to somehow atone for his past. His apologies. for his mistreatment of Cara years ago.
He must be still full of guilt over this. It must be eating away at him for him to give BloodyMoon such a large portion.
Nevertheless, I can’t change my decision about his interactions with Cara. He must not be allowed to reenter her life. I hope the seed my brother Colin planted about Cara’s supposed ‘husband‘ worked well enough.
I hope that’s enough to keep Alaric away from Cara.
Those two are no good together.
He doesn’t deserve her, she’s too good for him,
It’s not a good match.
look at the family photo on my desk, the one taken during my old Beta’s retirement party. There’s me, my brothers Landon, Aidan, Ryan, and Colin, and Cara. We all look so happy, bright red hair matching perfectly.
Our hair… that should’ve made it obvious to us that Lilia wasn’t our true sister… her hair was so dark, a deep crimson like our father’s.
I remember the older family photo, the one with Nanny standing next to father’s side. Nanny always felt like a part of the family. She was always there, always helping us kids since father was so absent, especially after mother died.
And now where is Nanny?
She’s a rogue. Just like Lilia.
Both are doomed to live without a pack, a fate worse than death according to many werewolves. To live as an outcast, with no friends or stability.
It must be terrible.
But it is a fate they both deserve for their lies. For their deceitful behavior.
It was Nanny’s actions that left poor Cara stranded as an orphan. And Lilia’s actions nearly killed Cara and her children.
Yes, they deserve their fate as rogues. It is a just punishment for each of them.
Suddenly my secretary knocks again, pulling me from my thoughts.
“Sorry to bother you, Alpha King, sir, but there’s urgent news from our border patrol,” she says quickly.

“What is it?” I ask.
“There’s been a sighting, sir. It’s Lilia. She’s been detected near Bloody Moon, and they
think she might be up to something.”
