I smiled and shook my head, swatting away the dampness from my eyes. “I’m okay. I just wish… I wish I had a memory of them. I wish I had some memory in my mind of them. I’ll never know them and I guess now that I know I wasn’t abandoned… now that I know what happened… it just really sucks.” I looked up at him and could see the pain in his eyes. Pain because of my pain. I might not have my parents… but I had Sion. I reached up and cupped his cheek. “You can fill this hole, Sion. You can fill it with your love and a family of our own.”? He k!ssed the palm of my hand, and a faint smile reached his lips.

“I’ll give you all the love in the world, Clover. Just so you know… it is okay to still miss them. It is okay to be sad that you didn’t get to know them. I’ll always be sad my parents are gone and that they never got to meet you. But we will live for them and have the life they would want for us. I love you.” He leaned down and left the lightest, sweetest k!ss against my lips.

“I love you, Sion.” I took a deep breath and smiled. “Let’s claim our pack.”

The night air was cool, and the wind tousled through the trees as we walked towards a large fire that was lit right in the middle of the small town. Everyone was gathered and their eyes were on me as we got closer. Doug was standing in front of the fire and next to him was Demetri and Nadine.

“Luna Clover and Alpha Sion.” Doug nodded his head respectfully. “The Nova pack does things a bit differently than a normal pack. This ceremony will officially bind the pack to the two of you. You will become the immediate heads of the pack. Where you lead… we will all follow. On behalf of the Nova pack, we swear our allegiance to you. We submit ourselves to your will and vow to protect you both. We swear to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Luna Clover and Alpha Sion, their heirs and successors, from now until the ends of time. So, say we all, so say the will of the pack.” Doug’s voice was drowned out at the end by the pack raising their voices loudly in affirmation.

Demetri stepped forward holding a circular golden globe that seemed to shine. “Each member of the pack has placed their oath on this sphere. All swearing their allegiance and acceptance to their new Luna and Alpha. Both of you place your right hand upon the sphere.”

I looked up at Sion, who looked at the globe with interest. It seemed like this was something new to him as well. We both slowly placed our hands on the metal object to find that it was surprisingly warm. The moment our hands landed on it, it glowed around our hands.

“Luna Clover and Alpha Sion, do you both claim this pack as your own? Do you promise to nurture the pack and protect it from all enemies?” Demetri paused and looked at us.

“I do.”

“I do.” We both said in unison. The moment the words came from out of our lips the glow spread up our arms in a golden flash. My mind became full, and a warm glow formed in my chest. With it I could feel each and every member of the pack. It was as if I knew them all inside of me. I recognized each different life force.

“NOVA PACK!” Demetri roared out. “Greet your ALPHA AND LUNA!”

“AHHHOOOOOOOO!”

“AAARRRRRRRRRR!”

“WHOOOOOOOOOO!”

All voices erupted into the night sky as their beast cried out happily. They all enthusiastically were welcoming us. Sion as their Alpha and me… as their Luna.

I smiled and looked up at Sion happily. His eyes were on me and I could see the love that was radiating in his eyes. I leaned in his side as he cradled me against his body. Suddenly, his arm became tense, and his body rigid. The smile on his lips quickly faded as I saw his serious face. His brows were pinched together, and a scowl rested on his lips. A strong breeze ripped through the air and with it a familiar scent.

I felt my body tense as a low group escaped through Sion’s curled up lips. Silence blanketed the pack as they all watched us. They were on alert to see their new Alpha acting aggressively. Noses were in the air as they tried to find the threat.

Joey ran up to me with wide wild eyes. “You smell it? Why is she here?”

I shook my head but there was no denying Taylor’s scent, but she wasn’t alone. I got a whiff of Hazel’s scent too. They were traveling together and were not far from us. Why were they coming this way… unless…

“Could they have been working with Darcia?” I asked as I tried to think. Darcia was a half demon living in this pack. She was here as an omega but that was just her cover. Hazel was working with Taylor, and she was an omega in the Sulfur pack. Honestly, it was the perfect cover for them.

No one would give an omega a second glance. Omega’s are weak and are not a threat. You are at times invisible as an omega which would mean you could get away with a lot. You were unnoticed. Hazel could have left the pack every night and no one would have known. This would be a great way to relay information.

The thing is that usually even omegas were loyal to their leaders. Was there more to it? Or was their ranking just a coincidence? I was digging up more questions than answers. If I wanted to know the truth, we needed to ask the source.

“Darcia is a demon, right?” Conner finally said, with his arm gently resting behind Gia’s back. He looked up at Sion and I watched his brows knit together. “Do we know what kind of demon? Where is that little paramecium that has been hanging about us?” He glanced around and I did as well. I didn’t see Stilts, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t around.

“What are you thinking, Conner?” Kai asked.

“I’m just saying… could this demon be our fire demon? Is it possible for a half demon to be that strong?”

Sion and I looked at each other with wide eyes. Could Darcia be the one behind killing the innocent girl? Not just her though… Sion’s parents and some pack members… Kai’s mate…

They were all killed by a fire demon. If there was a chance that Darcia was the same fire demon, then she was incredibly strong. However, we were getting ahead of ourselves. We didn’t even know if she was a fire demon. I looked around trying to find Stilts but he still hadn’t shown himself. Maybe he went to investigate?

“What do you want to do?” Logan asked.

Sion and I were staring at each other. He was studying my face as he mulled over his thoughts.

“We have to find out what they are doing out here.” I said as Sion pursed his lips together.

“It could be a trap. They have been preparing and maybe they are trying to lure you to them—” He started to say but I quickly cut him off. He wasn’t about to tell me to stay here where it was safe if that was his angle.

“I am not going to sit here while—” I started to say when Sion began to chuckle. He pulled me against his chest and his lips pressed on my head.

“My Luna…” He pulled away from me with a sweet smile on his face. “I was suggesting, instead of risking our pack, that you and I go. We will investigate this situation together. We will travel in the in-between.” He bent his head down so that his nose brushed over my forehead. “I mean I would love for you to stay here where I know you are safe but there is no way you’d wait quietly for me here if I asked, right?”

I smiled and tilted my head up to him. “How about you wait quietly here while I check it out.” I flashed him a bright smile as his chest rumbled with a nod.

“We are stronger together. Honestly, I would also feel anxious leaving you behind. What if that is the intention? And because of that we should order the pack to be prepared for battle.”

I nodded my head to Sion, and he tenderly k!ssed my forehead. He hugged me against his chest, and I could feel the tension in his arms. All he wanted was for me to be safe, but at the same time he wasn’t going to fight about it. Not that he could force the issue anyways, but I appreciated this attitude. He was right, we were stronger together.

“I don’t like you two going alone.” Demetri pursed his lips together and I smiled at him.

“We will be in the in-between so we shouldn’t be detected by most. It is better than risking the whole pack. We need to know what is going on. We need answers. Have the pack ready for battle just in case.” I watched as he nodded his head but could still see the anxiousness in his eyes.

“How long until we should come after you?” Conner asked, looking at Sion who shook his head.

“If we don’t return, you are not to come for us. You are to prepare the pack and stay here. Be ready for war, but do not move from here. Contact the Diamond pack for help.” Sion looked at me and I nodded my head in agreement. If we don’t return, they should go to the Diamond pack for help. They were the royal pack and the lycan princess would be their best hope.
