Chapter 29

Kas’s POV “Bronx, what’s going on? How did you find out the woman that looks like Lenora is in town? Is everyone else okay? No one else has gone missing, have they?” I call in a panic.

“It’s going to be okay, Kas. She is one person and I have more people than she could possibly imagine covering this. No one else has been reported missing. The guards are getting you home. Please, go to our apartment and stay there until I get home,” Bronx reassures me from the other end.

“In the apartment? Absolutely not! I’m helping protect our pack, Bronx, not hiding in our apartment like some weakling. I’m their leader too and I have powers and special abilities that make me suited for situations like this,” I growl at him, “You can have as many people as you want guarding me, but I need to help the wolves in our pack who cannot help themselves. I’m Luna of Blood River, remember? We have done countless drills for situations like this. Children, mothers, pregnant women, and seniors all need to be downstairs in the safe room. I need to make sure everyone is there and accounted for, then have guards posted inside and outside. I just need you guys to get home as soon as possible to help. But you are not sidelining me on this. ” 3

“Kas, now isn’t the time-”

“No, Bronx, right now is exactly the time,” I contend. I listen to the silence on the other end. In my mind, I can imagine him rubbing his hands on his face like he always does when he is frustrated. He can argue as much as he wants. I’m not hiding in the

apartment right now. No how, no way.

“Alright. Milo is already getting guards in place. You get the pack where they need to be based on our protocols. You are NOT to leave the sight of your guards. Don’t make me use my Alpha tone. Please, Kas,” he concedes.

“How soon until you’re home?” I feel my courage fade a little, knowing he will not be there when I get to the packhouse.

“They’re doing a sweep of headquarters now. As soon as they're done, I need to get Lenora and Ashley and we will be on our way,” I can hear him sigh.

“I will be fine, Bronx. Just get home to me as quickly as you can. I love you,” I hope he can’t feel my worry from that far away.

“I love you too, Kas. Don’t do anything crazy,” he says before he hangs up the phone.

I look out the sedan window as we bounce down the road to the Blood River territory.

“Kas, I know there has been a whole lot going on lately, but we’ve got this,” Lex says, “We are a warrior child of the Moon Goddess. We won’t let anyone down. I promise you. You just need to stay calm like we practiced. If you need me to take the lead, just say so. No shame in that. It’s what I’m here for.”
