Rowan nodded once. “The one who is supposed to find them is still a child.” He turned to me. “Are you sure

about this?”

“Not at all, but the Goddess chose her for a reason. We have to respect her decision.” | clicked off everything on

my father’s computer, and the desk turned dark once again.

“When did your father have tto design that desk?” Rowan knocked on the top for a second before | started

for the door.

“I can only assthe man was bored out of his mind at the Agora.” | headed out the door, and the two men

followed behind. ” He probably took a few years to make it and moved it back here when they moved back.” |

looked back at Rowan. “Why? Do you want one?”

Rowan grinned. “Heck, yeah, | do.” | smiled as we headed down the stairs.

too.” | laughed as we headed out to see the damage.

“Checking on everything?” Rowan offered as we hit the ground.

“Yeah. | want to check in with everyone. Have everyone started moving back to the pack house and their homes.

Plus...” | trailed off as | walked up to Greyson. “How have they been?”

He turned toand smiled. “Everything has been quiet. Just like you said, as soon as they were caught, they

shut down.” The Elite guards were all standing around the guards that survived the attack.

| nodded once as we circled the guards on their knees. “I figured.”

Rowan went to one of his team, and they whispered back and forth for a second before he pulled back and called

out over the men on their knees. “The council has been disbanded. All except Silas have been or will be

executed.” His voice carried over the clearing. “Those of you who followed Silas, please stand.”

My father, Silas, and Ronnie stepped out of the house and hurried over. “My King.” Silas rushed over and

dropped to his knees. ” | know that trust is understandably not given freely right now, but my men...I trust them

with my life.” Silas bowed to the ground again. “Please spare them.”

| crouched and helped Silas to his feet. “We wouldn't act recklessly, Silas.” | smiled as | pulled him over to where

his group of guards now stood. | turned to the men gathered there. “It is an honor to have your leader speak so

highly of your dedication.”

The men there all dropped to one knee. But it was the man closest towho bowed his head that spoke up. “It

is. Thank you Alpha, for helping him.” The man looked up, and | felt something ding in my head.

“Who are you?” | asked before | could think. His chocolate skin and dark eyes weren't familiar in the normal

sense, but | knew

instantly that he was important.

“My nis Sequan Derant.” He bowed his head again.

“You are an Alpha. | can feel your aura. Why are you bowing to me?” | crouched to be level with him.

“When we enter the guard, we give up our official rank so we are not involved in secession battles. Our focus is

fully on the people we are meant to protect.”

| looked up to Rowan. “Really?”

He nodded. “All of our guards agree to this. Most are not in their pack’s line of inheritance. And it saves them

from sometimes lethal situations.”

Silas held his hand out to Sequan. “His family was attacked twenty years ago. He was the only survivor of his

pack..” Silas turned toafter helping his guard up. “He chose to becmy guard instead of trying to start a

new pack. He wanted to learn. Rowan allowed him to make that choice.”

| nodded once. “Good.” | turned back to the guards still on their knees. “What exactly should we do with the

others?”

Rowan sighed as he rubbed his face. “I have no idea.” He looked over the men and shook his head. “I don’t want

to execute everyone, but with everything going on...we have no way of actually knowing who is a traitor or not.”

“Command them.” My father looked at us confused.

“What?” | turned to him.

My dad looked at us as if we had grown three heads. “You are the King and Queen...command them to tell the

truth.”

Silas shook his head. “It won't work. Our guards take an oath, and unless they are released from it, they can't

move against the one who swore them into it. Even if the oath holder is dead.”

| turned to my father. “What about a truth spell?” | flipped through the book in my mind.

“It won't work.” Silas shook his head. “The oath itself was created by the Goddess to hold against magic, and

wolf command alike.”

| threw my hands up. “Well, unless the Goddess herself wants to fucking help figure out who is a traitor and who

isn’t, what are we supposed to do? Kill everyone?”

Silas looked down, and | felt bad for

snapping. But it was the soft lisking
