‘What’s happening?’ Amie asked in a joint mindlink with Sam as we walked into my bedroom. I didn’t want to have this

conversation around the others, even if we could use mindlink. I was feeling my temper slipping. I needed a couple of more minutes to collect myself, so I just handed her the letter. The letter from the council telling me my brother had filed

for a forced reconciliation of our packs. The council had set up a first meeting to discuss it tomorrow.

‘What the fuck!’ Sam sent to us as he read it.

‘They can’t take it seriously?’ Amie asked. She had put her hand on my arm and I took another minute to let the touch

calm me.

‘He has tried before, and failed. But I have a feeling he is going to use the attack against us,’ I told her.

‘We will fight it,’ she said, sounding so determined I almost smiled.

‘Of course we will,’ Sam agreed.

‘We will. But we will keep this between us. I don’t want the others to lose focus on the games,’ I told them. They both

nodded.

‘We have the right to bring two people to the hearing. You should take Amie, as she is the Beta. I will keep things in order

here,’ Sam suggested. I nodded. It was good of him not to point out that Amie had a better chance at stopping me from

losing control of my temper.

‘It would be good if you could head over to the Cayote Hill pack. They are our oldest and closest allies. We want to keep

close ties with them,’ I told him.

‘I would like that, Medow’s dad has joined them as support staff,’ he said. ‘Speaking of Medow. Are we done here? I

promised to call her before dinner,’ he added. Amie smiled.

‘Go. Tell her I will call her later,’ she told him. He nodded and walked out of my room. “Get up on the bed,” Amie said. I

looked at her.

“What?”

“Sit on the bed and lean against the headboard,” she instructed me. I had no idea what was going on, but I was going to

find out. I did as she told me, and to my surprise, Amie got into the bed and got comfortable in my lap, she wrapped her
