Honestly, Khalid has no idea how lucky he is. He better realize how fucking lucky he is to have Isis as his sister.
I wasn’t going to stop Logan from killing him. So he lucked out that Aurelia did.
She could have waited for a little longer, though. I wanted to see Khalid change colors.
Khalid also should know how lucky he is that John is willing to forgive what he did. As long as he has John in his corner, he’s safe from Logan.
When Khalid explained Wade offered to free Sakina if he would take Isis away, I had to put all my strength into holding Godric back. Holding Isis helped soothe him, but he was pissed.
‘Of course, I’m pissed. How dare anyone try to keep our mate from us!’ Godric was growling, stalking around in my head.
I was getting dizzy trying to watch him, so I focused on what was discussed. The dipshit was explaining where it all went wrong.
“Oh, we are well aware of how that went. Looking down from

I know doing the blood-binding incantation was a bit extreme. But it was the only thing I could think of that would ensure Kurt, Uncle John, and Alpha Logan would trust Khalid. And even if performing that incantation is draining for the castor and the one taking the vow, it was worth it. There can be no doubt that my brother is on our side. ‘It was a calculated risk.’ Bastet agreed, even though she was worn out as I pulled on her power to perform the incantation. That was seriously high-level spell work. I had never done it before, just read about it in my studies. I wouldn’t have been able to make it work without Bastet’s power to boost me. “I see the issue. There is a second heir, and your enemy is currently their caregiver. They could hurt the child. Use them as leverage to get you to obey. Or they could use the child’s claim to the title to take it from you.” Dani rationalized. “You said half. I mean, I know your mother w
I shouldn’t be nervous about going to a bank. But this isn’t some bank run. Nothing ordinary about this. We are going to an old vault in the bank that will hold the valuables of my grandmother’s pack. Of the pack I’m trying to claim and rebuild. That is if this scepter is in there and I can hold it. What else am I going to find in this vault? I’ve never really been to a bank vault? Is this going to be like Gringotts? I don’t even know what to expect. Of course, entering the bank, we got some strange looks. After all, who comes into a bank in a group like this? I’m sure the way we entered didn’t help either. Logan walked at the front of our group while Nigel took up the rear. Leaving Isis and me holding hands between them like we are the ones with the bodyguards. I smiled, nodding to some of the patrons and bank staff staring at us. Isis squeezed my hand a little tighter. ‘It’s okay. No one’s going to give us trouble.
I still can’t believe someone left a fake scepter in the vault. Someone went through a lot of trouble to do this. The only other person who had access to the vault was the late Alpha John Senior. So unless someone managed to get in before the switch to the fingerprint security was added, he’s the only person that could have moved the scepter. But what reason would he have to move it? Wouldn’t it be the most secure in the vault? It just didn’t add up to me. ‘Maybe he worried about Siegfried getting to it? If he managed to get the scepter, wouldn’t he have a way to reclaim the Silverclaw?’ Bastet pondered. ‘Maybe. But Luna Lorraine had been certain her son couldn’t be the next Alpha. So he might not have been able to hold it.’ I shook my head. ‘Having it could be enough to sway the hearts of the pack. Siegfried could also use magic or something to hold it without feeling the pain.’ Bastet pointed out. ‘True. It just doesn’t feel ri
I have a sister. I have a little sister, and not only is Noya looking to exploit her, but her own parents also did it first. What’s worse is that I’m not surprised. I’m not surprised Siegfried broke into the vault to steal the scepter. I’m not surprised he used his own fucking daughter to do it. At this point, I don’t think there is a low too low for these people. And it’s just another reason I need to do this. If Isis and I don’t step up and reclaim the Silverclaw pack from the Syndicate, what future will not just my sister but all the children forced to live among the Syndicate face? If we don’t take action, my sister and other children will be used by these monsters. They are going to be exploited and be raised to think that this is how it is. They will grow up thinking that this is what life is, how you treat people in a pack, and how you treat family. “I will see Noya turned to ashes. I didn’t get to kill Siegfried, but
While I have no point of reference for Wade, I have one for Noya, and everything that Kurt just described is disgusting. I mean, even bad people have mates and whatever. And I know all too well how intense heat can be. But to lock a child in a basement. All to keep her out of the way for your heat seems a bit much. Couldn’t they have had the girl stay with someone else during Noya’s heat? A child shouldn’t have to be exposed to such things. And obviously, she’s too young to understand what was happening. I hope that despite the lies Noya has been telling this child, she will believe Kurt and me. Hopefully, she’ll trust us when the time comes to get her away from Noya. As much as we want to get her away from Noya, I don’t want to do it and cause her more psychological damage. Who knows how much she’s already suffered between her parents and Noya since their deaths. No matter how I think about it, the girl will have trust
Tomorrow. It feels too soon yet too far away. Ready or not, tomorrow we go on the offensive against Noya. We can’t fail. My sister and the future of the Silverclaw pack depend on our victory. Logan gave everyone their marching orders, so to speak. But this is my future pack. This is my sister. I am going to have some say in how this goes down. So as everyone started to disperse, I gestured to David and Mikali to come over. The pair shared a look, glancing at our Luna, who was busy talking to Logan. With a shrug, they came over. “What’s up? Ready to lead a pack and be a big brother? Cause I’m ready to kick some Syndicate ass and hopefully get a shot at Wade.” David questioned, arching a pierced brow at me. “Are you doing alright? I mean, that’s a lot to take in. You’re mated, which congrats. And now you will actually take over a rogue pack to make it legit, and you have a half-sister.” Mikali questioned, putting his hand on my shoulder, honey brown eye
I’m not surprised that Kurt would want to bring any of his friends from Bloodmoon to be ranked wolves in Silverclaw. I hadn’t been sure who he’d want to select. Obviously, he couldn’t select his best friend. Jonathan is already the Delta of Bloodmoon. And even if becoming Beta would be an upgrade, there is no way Alpha Logan would let one of his ranked members go. And I’m okay with Jonathan staying in Bloodmoon. I’m not sure how much would get accomplished or damaged if Kurt and Jonathan were running a pack as Alpha and Beta. I’m not sure who he is thinking for which position. If I was to guess he would be offering Collin the Beta position and Tanner the Gamma. Or at least that would make the most sense to me. I think Tanner and Collin are good choices. Collin might be playful at times, but he is grounded and thinks things through multiple steps ahead. He would make an excellent and supportive Beta. Tanner is easy-going and k
While Isis researched with her aunt and brother, I followed John to their living room. John got out a map spreading it out on the coffee table. “Alright, come over here. You’ve never been to Mount Adams, but I have. Based on what you found tracking your sister, let’s figure out where in the city they are hiding.” John gestured me closer. I nodded, sitting down and looking at the map. Of course, like the four cities of Bloodmoon, you won’t find a street map anywhere online. You might find it on Silvercloud’s computer if you can get past his numerous encryptions. We can’t risk humans easily finding our cities. Nor would any good Alpha want to risk the safety of their pack by letting outsiders easily not only find but navigate their way through their territory. I sighed, looking at the map. The city layout felt familiar in a way. I just can’t place why it looks familiar. “When the Argyris family first settled here, they modeled
