AURORA

A heavy weight hung in the air as I entered the private meeting

room.

Inside, Dane was leaning over the large oak table, his hands. bracing its surface.

His jaw was set, and a multitude of creases on his brow informed me he’d been deep in thought for quite a long period of time.

“You’re up early,” I said as I closed the door behind me.

He looked up, his blue eyes gleamed. “Couldn’t sleep. Too on my mind.”

I crossed the room and laid a hand on his shoulder. “We’ll figure this out. Together.”

He nodded but didn’t relax.

“Alina’s a problem we can no longer afford to ignore, Aurora. She plants those seeds of doubt everywhere. And if we’re not careful here, it could tear this pack apart.”

I let out a heavy sigh, tugging on a chair at the table and sat down.

“You are right, but we mustn’t take careless steps either. If we take action against her without direct evidence, all it will prove is that we’re not qualified to rule the tribe.”

Dane sat across the table, the fingers of his hands drummed against the tabletop.

“Alright, what is the plan because doing nothing isn’t working for me.

I opened my mouth to answer, but the door creaked open and Jocyln stepped inside.

She was collected as ever, apparently covered in silk, heavy weave, subtle latticework serene; her silver hair flashed like splinters in the morning light.

“I thought I might find you here,” she said, closing the door behind her. “The pack is restless. They need reassurance.”

Dane nodded toward the vacant chair beside me. “We can use. your help, Joclyn.”

She dropped delicately into her chair, turning first to Dane and then to me. “What’s the current game plan?”

I bit my lip. “We were discussing that. These manipulations of Alina are like a fire in a windstorm. The thing is that anything directly done may just bring in reverse effect until we have concrete proof of what her motives are.”
