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.

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

“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.”
