"Equality? You look like you've been puked on by a ghost. If you have really spoken to her, then it's safe to
assthat your change is down to her... Wait... Holy shit? Are you actually a Lycan now?" | could see how it
may look like it, I truly couldn't deny that my change was radical, not only was my hair a dead giveaway that
something mystical had occurred, but my muscle and my knowledge was proof.
entirely.
"No, | have just been gifted the knowledge of the wolf hunters. | can kill him now... Jack... | know I can kill him."
There was no hint of a lie in my words my honest option was that | could beat the king. Whether his death goes
hand in hand with my own was another matter
"Ok, so what would you like from me?" The exact sthing that had always been planned.

"Our plan stays the same, it just needs to be brought forward slightly. You attack when we do." He nodded his
head, and hung up quickly most likely to begin preparations for his own attack on the oppressive Lycan forces.
| took a deep breath as soon as the rebel was gone from my screen. My chest still remained heavy, and my mind
raced with endless possible outcomes from what was about to transpire.
"Are you ok?" Gilliards voice sounded out, his tone was soft, as | turned to meet his gaze while it remained
directly on me.
"I am fine. We need to cup with a plan..." it was fairly obvious that we were about to throw ourselves into
the lions den, with barely enough weapons that could actually make a difference to a Lycan. | grabbed the silver
bulleted gun out of the draw in Gilliards desk, and holstered it in the waistband of my pants, before turning back
to the alpha and his aunt. "Where's Oliver?"
"In the dungeons, where traitors belong." Traitors? | doubt Oliver had actually caused this, and if he did it was
unlikely to have been intentional.
"You think Oliver actually had something to do with all this?" | was skeptical, of corse it wasn't too long ago that |
would have been the first person to point my finger, however, now after everything | trusted him.
"What? Don't you? I think it's really suspicious that he just happens to get away from the king while Lewis, of all
people, gets taken. He's lucky | didn't throw him out of the pack altogether." | shook my head really did think that
was the case.
"If he wanted to do something that betrayed us he would have turnedin when he had the chance, not Lewis.
Instead Oliver saved my life when we went to speak to the packs, now that he's found out Vee is his mate, | think
he wants a world we're he knows she'll be as safe as he is." | couldn't see the possibility of him betraying us for
sreason.

Of course, | understood the concerns, it just didn't make any sense why he would do it now, and to Lewis of all
people.
"I'm going to go and let him out. I'll talk to him about what happened... we can't afford to lose someone like
him." Gilliard nodded but still didn't like the idea. | could tell he had a lot of distrust, but | suppose he was Lewis's
cousin.
"Dylan, people are counting on you
now. So keep it together, you're stronger than you believe." Ygritte placed her hand on my shoulder and | smiled
kindly at her, | was only strong when | had someone to dean on, or something to focus my mind on. However
now the only thing on my mind was that Lewis was in trouble, and it was all my fault.
Having Ygritte there too didn't help, she made my wish for my own mom to be withwas much more «
prominent in my mind, | ended up simply turning my head away from her in an attempt to cover up my sadness.
