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

I am not surprised that John going to help Sarael look for ingredients would go astray. She would have been capable of finding everything herself. He wanted an excuse to be alone with her.  The only problem with their attempt at a quickie is we’re all here. Sure I had no reason to go looking for John and Sarael. But my poor scared-for-life mate did. I don’t care if the sight of John and Sarael making out scared Khalid. Screw him. But honestly, there are worse things to walk in on. They weren’t having sex, so there’s that. And I’ve had the misfortune of walking in on people in the act. So Isis and Khalid dodged a bullet there. It’s best to just put it all behind us. We have more important things to worry about right now.  Tanner is onboard with joining Silverclaw as the Gamma. It just means I have to talk to Collin about being Beta and then to Logan about letting them leave Bloodmoon with me. The latter is the scary part. Though askin

I could care less about Khalid’s exes. They aren’t my problem. Though I have heard of Dania, I don’t need to meet her to know I’d knock that bitch out. I know exactly how she treated Isis. The anger I felt on behalf of a stranger at the time seemed extreme. But, reflecting on it, maybe somewhere in my or Godric’s subconscious, we knew Isis was our mate. I smirked as Dani said she’d spoken to and told off Dania. Not that I’m going to ask. I do wonder how that conversation went. I feel that Dani isn’t the sort who would go into details. “I don’t remember that. Is that why you crushed my phone and said I needed to get a burner to avoid getting tracked?” Khalid questioned. Dani shrugged. “My reasoning was sound. If she could reach you anyone in your guild could. It wasn’t intelligent of you to keep the same phone. And if someone kept you on the phone long enough, they could track it.” “She makes a good point. Thought you were supposed to be smarter than that.” I

It was a hell of a relief that Caleb was on board with at least Bryon helping us tomorrow night. It will make things that much easier on the rest of us. We had to return to Mount Hood. We had a lot of planning to do. So we wrapped up fairly quickly after Caleb approved Bryon helping us.I was almost surprised that Khalid and Dani didn’t want to try and stay there with the clan to spend time with Dani’s sister. I’m glad they didn’t ask to stay because I’d have to say no. There was no way I was letting Khalid out of my sight.Logan would have my head if Khalid went anywhere unsupervised. I think they know that. So I’m grateful they didn’t put me in the position of having to tell them no or get in trouble with Logan.When we arrived at the packhouse, I wasn’t surprised to find Collin and Tanner sitting in the living room with their mates, and the Bloodmoon ranked wolves. Collin and Mary looked confused ab

I’m not as worried about Dani being in this fight as I am about Khalid being in the conflict. He’s the human walking into this fight. To me, that makes him a liability. He gets injured or captured and becomes a distraction not just for his mate but also for mine. Isis and I need to be entirely focused on the task today. We are here to get my sister and, with luck, the scepter. And if the Moon Goddess is looking to be extra generous, we can make the world a better place by removing Noya and Wade from it.I was curious that Caleb and Mariana were here waiting with Byron. I thought it was rather clear from our meeting tha Caleb didn’t want more than Bryon getting involved and he was only supposed to identify where the magic was used and leave. Them coming wasn’t part of the deal.“Caleb? What’s going on, man? Thought it was going to just be Byron. Did something come up?” I asked as we approached the trio of vampires.“Hey, Kurt.” Caleb greeted with a smile offering his hand in greeting.
