Bjorn towered over Liam, ready to strike that final blow. To kill his Alpha. Then his head twitched to the

side.

Liam whimpered, his wolf form cowering back with its tail tucked.

Bjorn recognized it. He snarled, jerking his body away. His claws came down on the counter instead, rending the steel. He backed away, shaking his head violently.

Liam say the way he hesitated. Saw the fight. Painfully, he shifted back into his human form. “Bjørn, come on!” he yelled. “Fight whatever it is. I know you’re not a monster!”

Elaine remained in the corner of the room, shaking, though she saw Liam’s blood on his side. He was injured.

Bjorn roared out again, falling backward as the shift ripped through him. Violent and slow. Bones snapped and rearranged until the beta was once more in his human form, trembling and bare on the floor

Liam ran over to him, kneeling beside him and shrugging off his suit jacket. When shifting so violently, it had torn Bjorn’s clothing instead of allowing it to recede with his human form.

Such an uncontrolled shift was dangerous.

“Easy, easy.” Liarn said.

Bjorn held his head “Ugh I’m I did not mean to

“I know.” Liarn adjusted the jacket over Bjorn’s shoulders “You were drugged ”

“You are injured.”

“1 am fine.”

“No you’re not,” Elaine interjected as she came running over She looked at Bjorn warily, before kneeling beside Liam. “You’re bleeding through your shirt”

“Just a flesh wound.”

“Liam.”

Liam sighed. “I’ll get it looked at, don’t worry but what on earth happened?” he asked

“Those rogues I saw…they spiked the wine,” Elaine said. She looked at Bjorn. “You shifted after drinking”

“Feral…” Bjorn muttered.

“Not just you. Others in the party. But it looks like the effects wear off…” Liarn said with a heavy sigh.

“So the others will wear off as well,” Bjorn said and tried to stand up. Elaine kept her gaze averted from him. “We should get medics called, and officers…”

“They will have already been called,” Liam said and stood up, his adrenaline and anger pushing past the pain in his side.

He stalked to the window to look out of it. He looked out at the night as if he could pierce through the darkness and see those rogues who’d done this.

“You’re certain it was rogues?” Liam asked.

“I am. I could smell it on them.” Elaine walked up beside Liam. “My wolf might be weak, but I could do that much. The scent was obvious.”

Anger twisted his features. “I have always allowed rogues to enter my territory I have given them what they need to live within a pack. To become part of the pack once more. And this is how they repay me? With chaos and blood? With turning my own Beta feral?”

“I am okay now.”

“Now. But you could have killed someone Someone else might have had to kill you! There was no telling what could have happened. But it could have been so much worse,” Liam growled.

“I don’t understand why…the rogue town we went to seemed so peaceful.” Elaine mumbled

“Peaceful or not, they wanted chaos,” Bjorn muttered “Whatever they put in the wine was deliberate Blood was meant to be spilled tonight.”

“No more rogues,” Liam said, his voice a snart. “From here on out. All rogues are banished from the Moonwatch territory

Elaine’s eyes widened. “Is that not a bit extreme?”

“I don’t care. They endangered you. Endangered Bjorn. Everyone in that party could have died tonight because of what they did. They are not to be allowed in my pack Ever again”

The following day, Elaine packed up her suitcase. She’d originally planned on staying over the weekend and going back to Wind Wolf on Monday, but after what had happened here, she knew she couldn’t stay

She needed to get home. She set her bags near the door

“Elaine.…….” Liam said, watching as Charlie took the bags outside. “I can’t go back with you. Not yet

She nodded.

“After last night, with everything, my pack needs me. We need to figure out what’s going on.” Liam muttered.

Elaine’s gaze trailed over his side. Bandages now covered the wound beneath his shirt. But he’d be st… for a while now.

“I know, and I understand. I’m not going to ask you to come back with me,” Elaine said. She stepped closer to him. “Your duty is to your pack.”

“I wish it didn’t have to be like this.”

“I know.”

Liarn took her hand. “Are you certain you won’t allow me to buy you a plane ticket? I’ll get you a driver, a car, anything”

“I’m okay, Liam. It won’t be the first time I’ve taken the bus,” Elaine said. She turned away from him

and to the door. “I’ll see you later, okay? Don’t be a stranger to Wind Wolf.

“I’ll be back in the valley as soon as I can. I promise.”

Elaine looked over her shoulder and smiled at him, then she turned and left. Charlie took her to the bus station, and from there, Elaine was on her own.

She’d insisted this was the best way for her to get back. She didn’t want to drive herself, she was far too troubled to stay focused on the road. And with being terrified of planes, this was the next best option

She sat down in the back of the bus, putting her earbuds in and looking out the window

It’d be a long few days of travel.
