We all walked into the council building together. I made sure to keep Amie separated from the other two. Her reunion

with her brother had gone better than expected and I was happy for her. It wasn’t hard to see how much her brother

adored his sister. But something was off. This mate bond thing felt off. I had seen the way Alpha James had looked at

Amie, like a wish come true. I was not ready to let her go. In my mind and my heart, Amie was mine. By her reaction to all

of this, I would say she wasn’t thrilled either. I had never seen her back away from anything before. With my hand on her

back to make sure she knew I was there, I walked straight up to the desk where a clerk sat.

“We need an emergency meeting with the council,” I told him. The wolf behind the desk was about to say something as

he looked up. He met my eyes and then looked over to Alpha James. He seemed to change his mind about what he was

about to tell us.

“Yes, there seem to be some upsetting feelings. May I have your names and packs and I will tell the council.” We gave

him what he asked for and he asked us to wait for one moment. He directed us to wait in separate areas. I was grateful

for his tact, as it gave me a chance to make sure Amie was okay.

‘Are you okay to do this? Should I ask Sam to come and take you to the cabin?’ I asked her in a mindlink. She gave me a

shaky smile.

‘No. I’ll be fine. I need to do this, I need the answers,’ she replied. She seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then she took

my hand. I gave her hand a squeeze to let her know I understood, and then I let her be with her thoughts. She would let

me know if she needed me. I had my back towards Alpha James and made sure to block his view of Amie.

“Please follow me,” the clerk said and showed us into the council room. The council members sat around the conference

table and we stood at the end of it.

“Alpha Finlay, Alpha James, we were told you needed to speak with us, the head councilman said.

“We do. We need your help with understanding a situation,” I said. “My Beta will explain.” Amie took a deep breath and

explained the situation to the council.

“The bond is still there,” she ended her explanation. “I don’t understand why.” The council members looked at each

other.
