“Briar, he sees you as a threat, or he is testing you to be his heir, I’m not sure which, but

Creedon is coming, and we might not have the warning we did this time.” Where the panic

out of the line of fire this time.

“So you all knew and didn’t tell me?” I asked, and Carter bowed his head in shame. I glanced

over my shoulder to Lana, who averted her eyes. I wouldn’t have listened to Carter anyway. He

alone. We had to keep you safe, even if it was temporary. You have a right to be here; don’t let

anyone push you to the point of thinking otherwise. If this pack has any hope, it is with you.

The way Clyde thinks is poisoning the pack. We can never thrive in this world with the way he

thinks, the way he uses his people, the way I let him use me in his twisted way of protecting

this pack.”

you haven’t been fully indoctrinated into the pack. I don’t mean keeping your mouth shut,

Briar. One whiff of you and anyone can tell whose kid you’re carrying. As excited as I am to be

an auntie, right now the priority is keeping you and that pup alive.” Mazzie said gravely. I took

in a deep breath, letting that sink in.

“No more secrets, guys,” I told them. “If you know something, you tell me. I have a right to

know and decide what is the best course of action for myself. While I get why you all did it,” I
