| took a deep breath as | approached the imposing gates of Darkmoon Pack’s council building. The utilitarian iron
bars of the fence that stretched across the entire border between our packs seemed to loom over us, casting a
shadow on the ground despite the warm and sunny day.
| frowned as | looked up at those bars. Ridiculous, | thought to myself. As if Darkmoon needed a fence spanning
the entire border between our packs. This wasn’t the dark ages anymore. We weren't going to invade.
Melody cooed softly in my arms, her tiny fingers grasping at the fabric of my blouse.
“Are you sure about this, Han?” Viona whispered from beside me, her eyes darting nervously around the
perimeter.
| nodded, squaring my shoulders as my head of security pressed the buzzer to let us in.

“We have to go. Alpha David requested this meeting, and we can’t afford to strain our relationship with
Darkmoon any
further.”
The gates creaked open, and we were greeted by a stern-faced Beta with gray hair who led us through the
winding paths of the Darkmoon compound. The air was thick with tension, and | could feel the eyes of countless
pack members on us as we passed.
The relationship between Silvermoon and Darkmoon, the pack that hugged our southern border, had always
been tenuous. | remembered my father often arguing with the Alpha, Mikhail, about all kinds of things since |
was a kid. Mainly land disputes.
Which | assumed was why the new Alpha, David-Mikhail’s only son-had called us here today. They likely wanted
spiece of land of ours or another. Likely one that was too valuable to us to give up.
The doors to the meeting hall swung open, revealing a long table surrounded by men-not a woman in sight. At
the head sat Alpha David, square jaw set hard beneath a jet black beard, his piercing blue eyes fixed onwith
an intensity that made my skin crawl.
As | entered with Melody in my arms, flanked by my all-female security team and with Viona at my side, | saw
David's lip curl in barely concealed disdain. The room fell silent, especially as Melody cooed in my
arms.
“Alpha Hannah,” David said, his voice dripping with forced politeness. “How.... kind of you to join us. And with
your... entourage.”
“Alpha David. Thank you for the invitation. | hope we can address whatever concerns you have promptly and
efficiently.”
David's eyes flicked to Melody, then back to me. “Indeed. Though | must say, I'm surprised you brought an infant
to such an important meeting.”
| felt a flare of irritation but kept my voice level. “My daughter goes where | go, Alpha David,”

necessary.
“Now,” | said, adjusting Melody in my lap, “what was so urgent that you called this meeting. Alpha David? | hope
it’s not another dispute over the border.”
David's eyes narrowed. “No, though that’s a matter we’ll need to revisit soon. This is about something... or
rather, someone else.”
| quirked an eyebrow. He nodded to his Beta, who placed a folder on the table and slid it toward me. With one
hand still supporting Melody, | flipped it open, trying to look as bored as possible.
