Lanie
“No,” I said at once. “Her baby will be half wolf. She wouldn’t do that. She’ll be its mother! And mothers…
don’t…”
I had to get up and run to the sink to splash my face with cold water at the thought of any mother using her child, its blood, for any reasons, much less as part of a war.
she?”
“She wouldn’t use her baby to make a spell,” I muttered into my wet hands, my voice mu ffled. “How coul””
“Because she’s a witch, and you can’t f ucking trust any of them,” Xander gritted out.
“A witch who already said she didn’t want to take sides,” Zane pointed out.
“Sure. She won’t take sides.” Gabriela’s laughter sounded like coins rattling in a jar, breaking the glass. “How easy was it for Lanie to convince her otherwise? And she agreed to help Zane in exchange for getting something she wanted. She’ll do whatever it takes to get whatever she wants, and it looks like Zane’s going to
hand it right to her.”
“I didn’t know she could do anything like that,” Zane said, his tone rocky and rough.

Zane turned on his heel and left the kitchen. When I tried to go after him, Xander’s firm grip on my wrist

His mother shook her head. “Unfortunately, if in fact he did make a vow to her, it’s not as easy as breaking a promise. Before Rhiannon would’ve agreed to give him anything, she’d have done some kind of binding to him. Whether he knew it or not at the time, whatever Zane promised her is now bound by deep magic. To break
that vow…”
When she didn’t finish, I splashed my face again and then took a long, deep drink.
Xander handed me a dishtowel to dry my face, and then pulled me close. He kissed my damp forehead, and I let myself lean against him, taking strength. Alpha and Luna, two sides to a coin, the completion of a puzzle with two pieces. We were not the only two in the room, but in that moment, we might as well have been.
“I need you,” he growled through the mind link. “You and me, my Luna. We need to run and hunt. I just
need some time with you, and only you.”
“Soon. I promise. I want that, too.”
Not for the first time, I had to ask myself exactly how all of this was supposed to work. A Luna to an Alpha, mated to him and his Beta, and also another Alpha. Would we ever have the chance to just settle in?

Gabriela didn’t move from her spot at the table. “None of us can stop a war. The best we can do is get ready for it. Find out what we can.”
