Chapter 206
Mason
Lanie was my Luna, wasn’t she?
Xander and Zane had never fully claimed her, and they’d intended for Alice to be their Luna, hadn’t they?
Xander held my gaze for a moment like he was waiting for me to say what I was thinking out loud, but I
knew it would only cause another fight.
Besides, we needed Lanie back here safely before we could even think about whose Luna she was and
what that meant for us.
My mind wandered then to her and Zane and whatever danger they might be facing right now. I had
gotten barely any time with the twins before Orion headed us off and separated us again. The thought of never
seeing them again, never getting to connect with them as their father, was physically painful.
I placed a hand on my chest and rubbed absentmindedly.
“I know you’re worried about Alaina and Isaac,” Xander said, drawing my attention back to him. Had it
been that obvious? “I am, too. But Zane will bring them home. He’s the only person I’d trust with my life and

the lives of my pups.
I nodded. Was he actually trying to comfort me? The act of it felt kind of awkward, but I appreciated that
he’d changed the subject and at least attempted to relate to me instead of arguing with me.
“Xander…” I started, then took in a deep breath. “What would you say to a truce?”
I extended my hand out for him to shake it.
He looked at my hand suspiciously, and it took everything in me not to pull it back and say “Psych.”
“We know where we stand, the rest is basically up to Lanie,” I said.
Xander took my hand and shook it briefly before dropping it. “Sure,” he mumbled 1 guess we do need to
get our heads out of our as ses.”
“Speak for yourself,” I said, and we both smirked.
The air around us already felt less thick and charged with awkwardness.
Stella’s cries carried in from the living room, and we both automatically dashed in there and stood over
her bassinet.
We stood frozen, each waiting for the other to scoop her up. We’d just called a truce, but how we’d
actually put it into action was another story.
“Go ahead,” Xander said, waving me on. I c ocked my eyebrow but didn’t argue. I just nodded my thanks. and picked her up, rocking her gently until she quieted down.
When I turned around I caw
aw that Gabriela was 1/2
was watchinn us from the hallway
av a wide smile on her face
Lanie
Looking in the mirror was scary.
I’d put on the guard’s uniform and was ready to head back to the facility. Zane had tied up the real guard and dosed him up with more sleeping powder to make sure he didn’t wake up before I was out of there with
the twins.
