Chapter 64

“Are you alright?” I popped in on Leon as he covered the trade ledger with the humans.

He shot you in his chair “goddess’s breath,” he gasped. “Oh oh Luna it’s you only you,” he calmed when he saw me.

1 scrunched my brows and squinted my eyes.

“I only came to see if my plan to change the buyers of our potatoes was a success no need to be scared,” I watched him closely.

“I um yes it was we made a profit much larger you are quite the the asset,” he was still calming down and hugging.

“Leon what’s wrong?” I turned my voice soft and empathetic. I looked over my shoulder and Elizabeth was no where near the closed door only standing guard.

He slumped down in his chair “you tell me,” he mumbled. “Graysons been on the war path and he’s not communicating a thing! I swear it’s just..just. He’s off Annette he did something the other day and I have known him a long time I think he’s lost it,”

“What did he do?” I questioned.

“He kille

“He killed the sniper…” he drifted off his eyes swimming with terror.

Graysons message to his council his threat of extinction to any traitors and snitches. He’s trusted them with his life for most of it and now our child is on the line. A dream Grayson has kept secret for years: a happy family of his own. Now he’ll kill anyone in his way.

“Grayson is overprotective he just wants me safe,” I smiled sweetly.

“He’s getting unhinged Luna he’s training harder and harder and he’s refusing to pull punches the only one of us who can withstand him is Matt and even then it’s bad,”

The guilt rose in my throat again.

“He’s scared Leon. I mean he even wants to kind so their elders,” I fibbed.

“Of course!” He slapped a hand to his forehead and laughed at this false insanity.

“Yes do the one thing that will capture the attention of both regions ministry. We’ll be charged with war crimes!”

“I know going before the wolf ministry of both regions, he could be charged and taken away or worse,” I sighed.

“Talk to him Annette he’ll listen to you he’s in love you that’s why he’s so crazy,” Leon grabbed me by my shoulders.

“Or we’ll all lose him,”

“Thank you Leon,” I nodded to him. “I have to go and check our meat supplies. Please keep this all between us,” I

smiled.

Instead I went to the training house. The only thing Leon had told me that shocked me was Grayson was taking his anger out in training.

I marched to the training house to see it for my own eyes.

He was in the ring sweating and panting. His eyes were trained ingo Matt. Wailing in on him punch after punch.

Charlie and Jamie watched on from the sidelines. Matt had his hands up flinching with the blows Gray was landing.

“Grayson!” I yelled.
