We met up with Garrett, Julian and Alec just an hour later. Between Alec’s heated glances and Kade’s comforting touches, it was hard to take the situation seriously. I invited Tori to join, no longer keeping her at an arm's length.

Tori acted as a body guard of sorts. Alec and Kade had assigned her to me shortly after the rogue incident, which I found somewhat surprising. Oddly sexist of me, but I didn’t expect Tori to be such a skilled warrior. She had fought in the battle with the rogues, but I hadn’t taken the time to notice. My eyes had been only for Alec and Kade that horrible day.

I only trusted Garrett and Julian due to their mutual agreement on keeping me alive. Both needed an heir to their pack’s, and unfortunately, that was me.
