After training ended for the day, I visited Mr. and Mrs. Dubois in their home. After what Kwame told me when he visited Garnet Moon, I made it a task to visit his parents. I was pulled into a bone–crushing hug by Mrs. Dubois who praised the Moon Goddess for protecting me with tears in her eyes. Even Mr. Dubois hugged me.

It felt strange, honestly. I wasn’t used to receiving love from anyone in Zircon Moon, but the Dubois family held a special place in my heart. Because of their bravery, I am here today. My ashes would have been discarded somewhere, forever forgotten.

They were the only people I cared about, besides the children and a few of the other innocent pack members, and I will do all that I can to ensure their safety. They deserve the best for defying all orders from their Alpha to help a little girl.

Speaking of children, I will start training the newly shifted pups tomorrow morning and Adama is included! His parents entrust his safety to me, and I will honor that promise. To have the honor to train the future Gamma is reward enough. At twelve years old, I could sense the potential in him, and I will do my best to make him a strong wolf.

As I was heading back into the packhouse, Darien jogged up to me. He wasn’t himself this morning and backed out on training today. The worry all of us had the night before came back at full force and I admit, I almost went against my word of not following him and demanding to know what was wrong with him. I felt relieved to see that he was willing to talk to me.

“Darien? What’s the ma-”

“I need to speak to you. Now.” His hand locked around my wrist in a tight grip, pulling me harshly towards the house. From his touch alone, I could sense the wave of emotions rushing through him.

Pain.

Anger.

Confusion.

Frustration.

I ignored the lingering eyes of the surrounding wolves, curious to know what was wrong. We even passed by our friends, who raised an eyebrow at the both of us. Galen, of course, was munching on Darlen’s oreos. I pray to Selene that he doesn’t get his ass whooped by Darien. We trotted up the stairs to the third floor, passing by my room and heading into his.

When we entered, Darien locked the door behind him and paced in circles. Quietly, I sat on the bed, watching him battle for control over his wolf. With his eyes flickering to black, I braced myself for the lingering possibility of things going awry.

“Darien?” I asked, worried. “What’s going on?”

my sadness, making itself known, it was a lingering, boisterous devil in my body, and now, I was ready to let it out. What kind of selfish person did this? Darien may be a stoic and indifferent man, but he is the one person anyone would want by their side in battle. He protects all those he loves until his last breath, and his strength is unmatched. He has the potential to be an amazing Alpha if he was born with Alpha blood. And he was rejected all because of
