the council involved.
| was relieved to hear they weren't going to chargewith war crimes myself for the attack, and that they were
being supportive in monitoring the pack.
In t| would need to attend a hearing to discuss my involvement.
| just wanted to secure the safety of my people, and it feels like Alora and | have finally done that. Finally the
Shadow Rock and Nightshade Reformed weren't at war, our people could finally enjoy srest.
| have to admit, | don't think it would have gone as well as it did, had Hector not have been by my side. Maybe
being an alpha myself now, | know | can't be controlled, maybe that is what has changed...
| was looking forward to srespite, to sometat the Nightshade Reformed pack.
"Kaia?"
"In the office." | respond to Hector as he calls out my nas he enters the front door. He had been at the
Shadow Rock pack again, tasking himself with liaising with the council.
He walks in, his hair messy...he's been running his hands through it. He does that when he is stressed. His eyes
lock on mine, a smile entering onto the corner of his lips. My lips copy his until my eyes sink lower to the holdall
bag casually hanging over his shoulder. My heart sinks, | thought we would stay here for a few more days...not
that | didn't want to go back to the Dark Phantom pack..

"No, | am leaving...you are staying."
"| thought wherever you went, | went?" The delivery of my words are like a joke, but | mean quite the opposite.

"How long for?"
"A night...two nights...I won't be long."

"I'd rather not say.."
"Why..."
"I need you here, safe. | need to check something...and | wont be able to think straight if you are in

about to enter a dangerous situation....alone. What If...mates aren't meant to be apart. What if he doesn't return
to me... Was this a kiss goodbye.
My hands leave the desk...locking behind his neck and pulling him down into me...deepening our kiss. | for once

He moans into my mouth as he grantsaccess and | taste his minty tongue as it presses forcibly against mine
as he now takes control.

thighs, his hard groin pressing against me.
It was my turn to moan out loud as | press myself against him..
His lips snap away from my mouth and passionately kiss across my jaw line before his tongue licks across my
neck...his lips finding my mark...sucking on my mark. | need to close my legs, | need to stamp out the fire
burning within my groin...the sensation growing in my lower core.

"Impeccable timing Alora...I'll let you know when I'm on my way back."
"Sorry!" Alora mimes toby the door.

Wherever it is he is going.
Ezra is talking to Hector through the passenger car window...the car engine on as Hector prepares to leave.
With a small bag packed, | walk over to the car...Ezra's eyes watchingas he straightens up. An understanding
smile enters onto his face as he opens the passenger car door for me. "What are you doing?" Hector looks at me
in disbelief as Ezra closes the door and | strap myself in.
