Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 27

Katherine's POV

"They offered us accommodations at the Blood River pack house?” I ask suspiciously.

“Yes, Luna. They said they have plenty of room and would be honored to have the entire team there. If we would rather stay at a hotel, they will make those arrangements, too. We just have to let them know how many suites we need," my assistant says through the phone.

"I think the packhouse would probably be the best option," I think about Cora, who will need to come with us, being able to shift on Blood River's extensive territory. I also selfishly think about the opportunity to get to see Iokaste in person.

"Yes, ma'am.”

“Sarah, how did they know we were wolves? How did they know to offer us a place in the packhouse?”

“I didn't think to ask, Luna, but Mister Mason's assistant was very nice. She sent pictures of the suites we would stay in and everything.” I smirk at her innocence, “Alright, please request a block of eight suites."

“Yes, Luna. Oh also, Alexandros left a message. He says his team has scoured the eastern seaboard of the United States with no luck. They are moving to the Midwest but they are pretty sure Tessa must be headed to wherever Iokaste is,” her tone turns more serious as she relays the message.

"Alright, I will contact him about our upcoming trip to Blood River. Please complete the travel arrangements. Cora is coming, so we need the large jet in case she needs room to shift."

“Yes, Luna,” she replies obediently before hanging up.
