“So… is this pretty much official?” Sion asked. They didnt mark each other, but their words made it sound like this was a done deal. It was very interesting to me how fast this was going. If it wasnt a type of mate bond, it was an insane type of chemistry between them. Conner looked down at Gia, who looked up at him a bit uncertain.
“It is for me…” Conner said in a quiet whisper.
I watched as Gia shyly nodded her head, which was uncharacteristic of her. However, she did have quite the audience all waiting for her response. “I want to be with you too, Conner.”
“Given the timing, lets make it official after we save the Chance pack.” Conner pulled Gia in a full embrace, and she buried her head in his chest. He looked at Adam and gave him a short nod. “I will be good to her. You dont need to worry. I promise Ill be a good mate to her.”
“Okay, so what is the plan here?” Odell finally snorted and the mood began to shift to what the important topic was.
“Yes… Conner, did you do as I asked?” Sion said, and I looked up at him in confusion. What had he asked? He must have sent a mental link because I was at his side the whole time.
“Yes, and it is done. They will meet us by the old oak.”
“Perfect. This will be a good way to weed anything else out.” Sam said, and I felt like I was really missing something.
“What did I miss?” I said, and Sion and Sam looked at me with wide eyes.
“Werent you paying attention?” Sion asked and he raised his brows. Oh shoot. They did say it and my mind must have drifted. I was so busy thinking about what I needed to do that I missed something important.
“You nodded your head in agreement…” Sam said and I chewed on my inner lip as I tried to wrack my brain. Sions lips twitched upwards as he walked up to me.
“It is okay. I am sure there is a lot going through your mind.” He said as his hands came to rest on my sides. “We sent Joey back to the Sulfur pack. We told him we would be meeting by the Chance pack near the old oak tree.”
“You are telling another pack the plans?” Nadine asked as she stepped into the building.
“We are setting the stage. If there are others under nembrant control or are working with Dr. Snyde, this will let us know. We are setting up the trap first.” Sion said as he kept his eyes on mine. “We have the numbers on our side. We know that Taylor and Hazel were working with Dr. Snyde. There could be more. We need to know if there are others.” I felt my heart begin to beat a bit more. What if Jude was involved? What if Denny was involved? My mouth felt suddenly dry. They werent under the effects of the glass so if they were involved… they were doing it on their own.
I guess no matter how much I tried to act like I was fine on my own, I still have attachments. Denny, Joey and Jude were the closest people I had to family for so long. The idea that one of them could be behind all of this… was nauseating. If they were, we would end up fighting against each other. The painful truth would be that meant I was never someone they cared about. Which should anger me. I should be ready to fight them if that is the case. Instead… I felt… sad.
Sions eyes were still on me as I looked around the room. I finally noticed that someone was missing. “Where is Kai?”
“Kai went with Joey and Stacey back to the Sulfur pack. He is strong and his wolf is very experienced with Dr. Snyde and her ways. He should be able to spot anything that is concerning.” I watched as Sions lips twitched up as he leaned forward pressing his lips on my forehead. “You really werent paying attention, were you? Everything is going to be fine.” He whispered against my skin. The thing was, I thought I had been. I didnt realize how badly I had zoned out of the conversation.
“Just to confirm, the wolves in the Chance pack are being controlled, so we should avoid lethal force,” Sam stated, and I turned my head to look at him.
“For everyone except for Breanna Snyde. She isnt being controlled. Same with Taylor and Hazel if they are there.” I couldnt wait to choke slam that Call me Bree b***h. I didnt have my wolf when I first met her. Not only did I have my wolf now, but I leveled up with my other powers.
“Dont forget, Darcia,” Doug said, and my eyes snapped up to Sion. Darcia was a fire demon who could have been the one responsible for killing his parents. If this was the case, she was very powerful.
“Darcia is powerful, so everyone should not engage against her. Leave her to me.” Sion said, and our eyes met. I would be busy removing the mind controlling effects from the pack to help fight. I know Sion was strong, but we knew nothing about this demon. I didnt want him leaving my side. Not that I wanted him there to protect me, but that I could protect him. “I dont want to risk losing anyone else to this fire demon. I am strong enough to handle her.” He said, giving me a reassuring smile.
“Our focus is keeping the enemy off of Clover while she works. We will do our best to subdue the enemy with no casualties.” Demetri said, and I looked over the room. Everyone had brave, determined faces. They all had faith in me. This plan all came down to me and being able to use my powers. If I mess up… it could be one of them who pays for it with their lives.
I was inexperienced, but what choice did we have? I felt Sions fingers caress my arm and I looked up at him. I gave him a brave smile.
“It is time to mobilize the warriors.” He said as his hazel eyes studied mine.
“Yes, it is time to close this chapter so we can move on with our lives.” I said and heard Logan make a whooping noise.
“Yes! Its time to reclaim home!” Logan cheered and punched his fist in his hand.
Yes, it was finally time. I just hope I was ready. I dont know why, but I just had this horrible feeling like something was going to go wrong. That or either I would mess up, or we would get taken by surprise. Maybe there was more at work there than we knew and we were the ones heading into a trap. This is why, while the others looked pumped and ready to fight, I hid behind my smile. As we walked out of the tent to the cheering warriors, my mind wandered. I was flipping through all the possible scenarios I could think of, trying to figure out if we were missing anything.
I didnt know it then… but I was right. There was something important that we had overlooked. And it would cost us…greatly.
Our army marched towards the Chance pack. I was surprised by how light the mood was. No one seemed to be on edge. They were all confident that we would be successful.
Sion and I decided to keep the news of our pregnancy to ourselves. We wanted to make an announcement once our packs were united as one. It would be a great unifying message. The future leader, a mixture of both packs, is growing inside of me. I couldnt wait for things to resume to normalcy so I could enjoy this moment. Right now, I cant even take a breath to enjoy this.
“What is he doing?” I heard Conner ask and I turned my head to see him looking at Sam. Sam was holding something in his hands and speaking quietly to it. Then it flew off at a blinding speed.
“He was sending a messenger fairy.” Gia said with a half shrug.
“He was talking to nothing. Nothing was there.” I looked back at Conners confused face as Gia burst into a fit of giggles.
“Of course, you cant see it. You dont have fairy blood or have been marked by a fairy mate.” Gia said. Her last few words carried a sultry tone that had a loaded meaning.
“Could you see it?” Conner asked as our eyes met.
“Yes…” I said, nodding my head.
“Yep, I did too.” Sion said casually as he snaked his arm around my waist.
“So when you mark me—” Conner began to say, but Gia cut him off quickly.
“IF… If I mark you, then yes, you will be able to see them.”
I listened as Conner chuckled and he grabbed Gias hand, lifting it to his lips. “Im your Peter Pan, Tinkerbell.”
