Chapter 44

Lenora’s POV

As we approach the gates of Silver Moon, I can see Kas is struggling to take a breath. I reach forward and give her hand a squeeze. I’m worried she isn't going to be able to handle this.

"We shouldn’t be here, Lenora," Justice whines in my mind, "We need to protect Bronx to protect the Luna. Please be careful in this cursed place. We don't belong here. Don’t forget I’m here if you need me. I can run home in five hours if it comes down to it." 1

"What’s with all the cryptic talk lately, Justice?" I complain to her.

"I don’t know how to make myself more clear. Bronx is the key to protecting the Luna. It’s what he was made for. We need to protect him to keep her safe."

I roll my eyes at her, "Okay. Clear as mud. Thanks for the pep talk."

"Kas, you got this. You're not the same wolf you were the last time you’re here.

She nods quickly, trying to swallow her fear, "Yeah, Lex is basically saying the same thing."

"Justice isn't happy about being here, either. We just need to stick together. We are going to be so busy, this week is going to fly by. I promise."

"Yeah, busy," one side of her mouth turns up in a smile. At least she's giving it a chance.

I notice the security is more lax than Bronx would be okay with. I make a mental note to ask Elder Randall to beef up the guard detail while we are here. When we finally pull upto the packhouse, a frazzled-looking Randall is waiting out front for US.

I take Kas's other hand and look her in the eyes, "Breathe, Kas. I am right here with you. So are Marco and Tyree. You're not alone."
