Chapter 155
“You know, when Weston told me you’d found someone…”
He paused, looking us up and down with a long whistle,
“I was pretty convinced it was just the paperwork getting into his head.”
Ginger grins when his green eyes travel from Raizel to me. Mock being evident in his tone with a hint of hidden delight lacing his words.
He dips his head down.
“Pleasure to meet you, Alpha Crestfield. I’m Emerson Vince, Ga mma of the Ignis Red pack under Alpha Locksworth.”
When he raises his head to look between us he winks,
“In case you’re wondering, I volunteer myself as the best man when the wedding comes.”
Whirling my head to Raizel, I feel my lips twitch in amusement. Raizel rolls his eyes but there’s contentment swirling in his pretty grays. His wolf puffs out, sitting on the ground with pride swelling in his chest. Then he looks over to my wolf with his tongue sticking out the corner of his mouth. His emotions of joy being reciprocated from my wolf.
“It’s nice to meet you.”

I extend my hand to him which he takes in a handshake. His grip firm and his hand rough and calloused- undoubtedly the aftermath of all the training he underwent as Gam ma. I sense Isaac walking forward, taking Emerson’s attention from me. The two men look at each other, hardened looks in their eyes as they subtly give each other an assessment. Both Gam ma’s giving into their wolves’ instinct on surveying the ‘competition’.
“Isaac Everdale, Gam ma.”
Isaac nods curtly. Emerson returns his gesture and gives him a tightlipped smile,
“Emerson.”
A moment of tense silence separates them until Raizel clears his throat. Garnering everyones attention to him, he c ocks his head in the direction of the vans parked a few feet down.
“I think it’s best we go now. Williams has sent his detainment team ahead of us just surrounding the borders.”
His eyes drift down to me.
“It’d be ideal if we get this over with as soon as possible. There’s been a number of rogue sightings lingering around Nightwake. Something tells me Xeneron has an eye out for something like this to happen.”
His grip around my waist tightens,
“I know you’re more than capable of handling yourself but I don’t like the idea of you being in that place longer than necessary.”
Pressing his forehead against mine, he sighs. Neither of us really had any fond memories of the place or people there. It’s not a surprise Raizel already despises the idea of stepping foot in Landon’s territory. He was pinned up as a mate, disrespected and more than likely had his reputation questioned with Hestia’s claims. I’d heard Williams mention it once that Hestia made a scene in front of some other Alphas and how very close he was to shifting.
Pursing my lips, I allow myself to press my weight onto him. Time was ticking and sooner or later I’d

be finding myself back in Nightwake tiptoeing around the place to make sure no unnecessary fights break out.
Getting Chamberlain was priority.
Making sure Raizel stays unshifted was close to second.
Isaac casts me a tight look and bites down on his bottom lip, no doubt thinking of Raizel’s words and how much more this visit to Nightwake actually is. How much more was on stake by even
considering the chances of Raizel finding out about Landon.
Not that Raizel really knew the extent of it.
