I watched Ayla as she conversed with Dasha. I didn’t even think she realized I had noticed. Whatever

was going through her mind, whatever was being said between them, needed to happen. Kieran had

been quiet for days. Only snippets of his rage and anguish would push through at times. But he was at

the edge of my consciousness now. As if he was waiting for something.

Ayla’s hands had stopped, and she

couldn’t see Dasha in her eyes. She was just deep in thought. I reached

up and lifted her chin, my eyes meeting hers.

“Are you okay?” I asked gently, running the pad of my jawline.

umb along her

She took a deep, slow breath, stepping into my arms as hers slid around my waist. “I’m getting there,”

she replied softly. “I know I should be questioning what I did tonight, but I’m not. It still feels like it was

the necessary thing to do.”

“It was,” I agreed firmly. “Too many people have believed they could best us. They made targets out of

us. At the very least, they will think twice now. We had a right to do what we did.”

“We will still be a target for others, though,” she said calmly. “We could reduce that by refusing to

merge the stones. Give the halves to the Alpha leaders to protect.” She sighed again. “What do you

think about all this business with the Moonstone?”

I brushed her wet hair from her face, holding her tightly to me. “I think there is some validity to what we

are finding out. However, we can’t move forward with anything unless we both agree to it. Whatever is

meant to happen, we’re meant to do it together. That I am sure of.”

A soft, brief smile touched Ayla’s face before her expression became serious again. “I think we need to

join the Moonstones.”

I was a little taken aback by how sure she sounded. I understood why she had been against it in the

first place. She has had so little peace in her life. Our time together was supposed to provide her with

that. I was ready to give her that, regardless of my own doubts. But she didn’t seem pressured in her

decision.

“Why the change of heart?” I asked.

“Dasha,” she replied. “She believes we are meant to do this. She’s always believed. She…” Ayla

paused as her brow furrowed. “She said this will fix things. That it will make us all stronger again. Like

we are supposed to be.”

Kieran grunted his agreement with her statement. He and Dasha both knew something we didn’t. They

sensed something we couldn’t.

“What does that mean?” I asked, reaching to turn off the taps.

“I’m not sure,” Ayla replied as she grabbed our towels. “She won’t tell me. She keeps telling me to trust

her. The truth is, I’ve been denying her for too long. She has always believed we are the Blessed One

and I insisted she was wrong. Now, it doesn’t matter. She believes we were meant to do this. I won’t

deny her anymore.”

“We both know this will likely complicate our lives even more.

”

“I know,” she acknowledged. “But that’s not a reason not to do it. But we still need to get approval from

the other pack leaders. Or at least, the majority of them. If we go against them on this, it will guarantee

a war.”

“I agree,” I said. “We’ll talk to all of them. From the sound of it, Sister Mona thinks this will benefit all the

packs, and I believe her. We’ll get them to see that too.”

“And maybe she can help us set up some kind of security plan,” Ayla said as she grabbed some

clothes. “You know, something that lessens the power imbalance this will cause.”

“Exactly,” I replied, pulling on a pair of pants.

I picked up Ayla’s hairbrush and started brushing her hair once she finished dressing. It was getting

late: I knew some of the other Alphas and Lunas wanted to speak with us soon. I’m sure they were

eager to return home.

“Let’s get some food in you.” I put the brush away and turned Ayla toward me. “Then we’ll meet with

one or two of the pack leaders tonight.”

Ayla nodded. “Okay. Alpha Gregory or Alpha Vincent may be good places to start,” she suggested as

we left the bathroom.

“I think it should be Alpha Anthony and Luna Aniya first,” I said. “They were hesitant at the pavilion. I Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

don’t think it’s because they are in league with Delta Charles, but there was something there.”

“It could be embarrassment,” Ayla said with a shrug. “But you’re right, there was something stopping

them.”

“And I can’t figure out what it could be,” I replied. “I can see Alpha Trent being an issue. In fact, I’m

almost counting on it. Maybe even Alpha Patrick. But Anthony is a friend. I was at his Alpha ceremony

ten years ago. I think they’re our first priority.”

I linked Briggs to tell him to bring Sister Mona up and have Jimmy

escort Alpha Anthony and his Luna to our apartment. We ate quickly and set up some refreshments at

the dining room table. Briggs arrived as we finished with Sister Mona.

“Thank you for joining us, Sister Mona,” I said as we took our seats at the table. “There is more that we

want to know about this prophecy and the Moonstones. And I’m sure the other pack leaders will have

the same questions. It will make this a lot easier having you here.”

“Indeed,” Sister Mona said with a smile. “I will provide whatever help you need. Is there anything you

would like to know before we meet with the others?”

“No,” Ayla interjected. “We don’t think there is anything we would learn that we wouldn’t want to share

with the rest of the packs. So there’s no reason we should have to go through everything more than we

have to.”

Sister Mona smiled at Ayla and me, pride filling her expression. “Absolutely.”
