Chapter 12

‘Lucy!’ Luna Hale’s mind-link woke Lucianne from deep sleep.

‘What? What happened, Luna? What?’ Lucianne mind-linked back in a daze as she reached for her phone to check the time.

“What happened?” Lucianne asked, dropping all formalities despite being in the presence of the leaders from another pack.

Juan explained in a serious tone, “Lucy, there’s been an attack. The Jewel Pack lost eleven out of fifteen warriors.”
