Atticus’s smile vanished and I smirk,
If that’s how he wants to play, then so be it.
“Ba stien behave.” Zaia scolds, “This is not the time for macho behaviour.”
I don’t miss the jealousy in his eyes, and I can’t help but smirk.
“For you, of course. As long as I’m repaid.” I wink at her.
She gives me a look before she pulls away and my gaze dips to her breasts.
She’s beautiful… her smooth, supple cleavage is on display, her
breasts begging for some attention, and I’d happily give them all the attention they need…
Hugh clears his throat behind me, and I turn to him smoothly. He is pushing Valerie’s wheelchair.
“A little discretion, Alpha Sebastian? Please do have a little shame.
“I don’t really have any,” I respond as Zaia blushes before she looks at Valerie. Looking at her now, you
can tell how thin she has become.
She’s wearing a peach dress, but the time spent immobile in bed means it’ll take time before she can
walk again even if she was given physio whilst in a coma. Her body and muscles are far too weak. Zaia
crouches before her, cupping her face.
“You look beautiful, Val.” She says softly.
“Thanks… So do you, Zaia.” Valerie replies. She’s been uneasy and has only been comfortable around
Zaia but she’s hiding something… I just don’t know what.

I’m certain she knows something, although she says she doesn’t. She just needs a little time, time we
don’t have.
“May I have everyone’s attention?” Zaia calls out.
The chatter dies down as everyone turns to her.
She’s nervous, her heartbeat has quickened, and it makes me wonder exactly what she’s planned.
I don’t miss the way one of her guards nods. Is he in on what this is about?
I glance at Jai who also looks confused. He gives me a small shrug before his eyes return to Valerie.
She has completely ignored him, and I know he’s trying to keep his cr ap together.
“Thank you, everyone, for coming tonight on such short notice, as you all know I will be leaving
tomorrow for the Dark Hollow Falls pack, but I am still to be the future Alpha of this pack.” Her voice
rings in the night sky as she’s awarded with complete silence. “Now I know that everyone is wondering
the reason behind tonight’s rendezvous, so won’t keep you in suspense.”
She looks at Hugh, who is watching her with concern. “Do you know what this is about?” He asks me.
“When we’re alone, we are too busy doing other stuff to talk about such matters.” I can’t help but say,
he glares at me, and I smirk. “No, no clue.”
“A long time ago, the Goddess of the moon made her creation, werewolves, men who under the moon
would shift into magnificent wolves.” She begins walking, looking at the people who encircle us. She
has their attention, but I’m not sure where she’s going with this.
“They manifested, able to shift at will, and soon they travelled across. rivers and mountains, settling
into their own packs. A race, superior

to man, a race blessed with speed, smell, hearing, and the ability to heal faster than any human could
possibly wish for. This gift, this blessing to shift, was not appreciated as it should have been! We began
to feel ashamed of our true form! The blessing of the goddess!”
Her aura swirls around her, her eyes burning orange, and even I feel it. The people watch her with a
mix of fear, awe, and admiration.
“Then what did we do? Over time, we tried to blend with civilisation… we began to settle away from our
packs…. We began to dress and behave like common humans. Why? When we are superior? We
stopped training our young to be at their best, to protect our packs if the need ever arose and above all!
We stopped shifting!” Her voice rings in the air as she turns and points at me.
