“Alpha Fabius, I’m glad to see you again. “I greeted the Alpha of the Silver Crest the moment I stepped out of the car in front of his packhouse.

He took and shook my hand as he responded. “Pleasure is mine, Alpha

Stone. I thought Blade would come with you.”

“Is he not here?” I asked, my brows furrowing.

“No. It’s been over a year since the last time he showed up here. So when I heard he was in your territory weeks ago, I was hoping he would come and check on me.”

“I have no idea where he is at the moment.” It was the truth. The trackers I sent to contact Althea reached Collin with

the news that Althea was at the Fortuna Coven but Blade was not.

“Typical Blade. I would be the last one on his priority list.” He let out a sigh before he flashed a smile, something that didn’t reach his eyes. “Anyway, enough about my brother. My Beta will show you the area you can use. It’s in the middle of the forest, away from the residential area, and usually not visited by my people. So it’s secured for whatever you are planning.’

“Sounds good.”

“The house is just a small cottage, but it’s fully equipped. I’m sure it’ll be

comfortable and cozy despite the size.”

“I can also sleep in the forest, so I’m not worried about that. But thank you for providing a place to stay as well.”

“Well, good thing I did. You have a female

companion. I’m sure she would

appreciate a roof over her head. Is she the witch?”

I saw the way Fabius’ eyes sparkled as he

looked at Patrea, who smiled warmly at him.

“Yes, she is. “My name is Luca,” Lucius said as he extended his hand.”I’m Clarissa’s boyfriend.”

I almost choked at his words. We had discussed the names that they would be using, but we definitely didn’t discuss that last part.

“Besides, she’s too old to be your mom.” He added, which made Patrea’s eyes widen before she glared at Lucius. 2
