School was uneventful the past week thankfully. Lucas had also apologised for his behaviour I wonder if it had anything to do with the meeting between our two packs? Everything was looking on the up I was thriving and enjoying my little independence bubble. Tonight is the night of the ball and I’m feeling really excited about it. Marisha is on the ball committee and has not shut up about every fine detail going into it. The girls have all decided to get ready at my place while the boys are going over to Alvin’s. The hair and makeup team has been set up and we have been rotating between the two we are finally ready to head to the ball. The hummer limo pulls up out the front our parents are going mad with the photos of us outside the limo. Once we get inside we start taking our own photos then Karla pulls out a bottle of vodka none of us have ever drunk alcohol before we have no mixer so we all take swigs from the bottle going around us. I feel a slight buzz but nothing more if anythin

We arrive at the pack house I notice Destin looking at me worriedly through the rear view mirror from the front. Colton has been happy and chirpy the whole car ride talking about the ball and what the guys got up to in the fae kingdom. I plaster a smile on “sounds like you guys had a blast. Sorry if I seemed flat today I had a meeting with the high priestess and she laid some heavy duty shit on me for the most part the trip was enjoyable” we get out the car and I shoot Destin a look. I mind link him asking to meet me in the field I do not want shit to be awkward between us. Colton asks if we want to watch a movie I tell him I have a personal project from the high priestess to work on and Destin says his tired as shit and heading back to bed. Colton shrugs his shoulders “you know where to find me” I walk to the back of the pack house the grass in the field is over grown and whips my legs as I walk through I can hear the crickets and the familiar smell of “home” my safe place my child

I sit next to the unconscious girl and hold her hand no one should go through such trauma on their own awake or not I hope she knows she has someone with her. As if reading my mind my father calls all the warriors in who just witnessed the event unfold. When everyone is standing in front of him he starts his speech with a “you know I don’t usually use my alpha command on anyone let alone my own pack” I can honestly say I have never seen nor known my father to use his alpha command on anyone he truly is an honourable man. My father using his alpha command gives me an indication of how serious this situation is. “I am deeply sorry team I respect and trust each and every person standing here in front of me please forgive me but what you have all witnessed here today what you have seen faith do must remain quiet if this information gets into the wrong hands it could put a target on faiths back as well as the packs I am doing what I have to in order to keep us all safe so please forgive m

I mindlink my dad walking down to the kitchen to let him know I plan on going to the hospital to visit our patient I also tell him I will be taking Destin as a guard and ask if he can send out Colton with some warriors to scout the area where we found the new blood for any clues or evidence of sorts. I know I seen chase there is red eyes reflecting back to me in the dark I want to know why he would possibly be in the area at the time since it’s not like I can openly ask him. Both Destin and I take a breakfast burrito from the kitchen to go. We walk to the pack hospital eating in silence both lost in thought. Finally Destin breaks the ice. “Sooo princess how does it feel to be a miracle working how exciting you were the first to fully reverse the process of new bloods” I shrug my shoulders and take the last bite of my burrito. “I don’t know i wouldn’t say I’m a miracle worker just the first to actually try to reverse the process” Destin looks at me tells me I’m too humble and what

We waited in the car for marlene to finish her shift at the diner. Destin and me filled Colton in on what happened this morning at the pack hospital. It almost seems surreal that only this morning I had learnt about my mothers childhood best friend and a few hours later we find her. I also rang Delilah to tell her we would be running a little late I didn’t want to worry her or the coven. The last few customers leave the diner and I can see the waitress locking up and turning the open sign over to closed. I didn’t see Marlene until she was tapping on my side window. She invites us back to her cottage so we can talk she said she would feel more comfortable there. We are headed back on the road towards the coven when we take a turn ten minutes up the road onto a dusty dirty road and follow it for another thirty minutes by this time Destin is starting to get suspicious of our new friend and looks into the rear view mirror and asks “You live all the way out here?” Then Destin glances bac
