“Chris,” Jason said evenly, “you remember Elder Ansel. Hello, Emily.”
“Alpha,” the other she-wolf greeted shooting her impatient mate a look. “We’re sorry for the intrusion. We’ll come back later.”
“Wait, please,” Ansel stood, “did you just say you have information on the fate of wolfkind?”
Emily and Christina hesitated, glancing at Jason. He rubbed his temples considering his next words carefully. This was his territory and they were pack members on a sanctioned fact-finding mission so he was well within his right to order Ansel out. It was pack business yet Christina’s words rang in his mind as did their earlier warning. What if the implications were far beyond just his own pack? If so, he would need the Council on his side.
“Elder Ansel, take a seat. Chris, Em, you too,” Jason gestured to the couch. They sat side-by-side apprehensive at the way his aura fluctuated. He glanced at Luke reaching out for Phoebe, “Phoebe?”
“Jason? Is something wrong? Your aura is all over the place.”
“Could you join me in the office, please?”
“Of course.”
Jason let out an uneasy breath. He had no idea if he was doing the right thing but he knew he needed his Luna. Lobo was prowling his mind like a caged animal and they needed Phoebe’s presence to calm them or they wouldn’t be able to think straight. Jason pinched the bridge of his nose trying to stave off the beginning of a headache.
The door opened and the smell of lilac and sage wafted toward him as Phoebe entered. She glanced quickly around the room recognizing Ansel but most concerning to her was Jason’s aura. He had been anxious for days and his wolf restless. No doubt the elder was here to discuss the approaching duel but first thing was first.
Without a word she went to Jason embracing him as his arms wrapped around her. He bowed his head breathing in her scent as his wolf finally relaxed.

Once he took a breath he sat and pulled her into his lap. She didn’t protest knowing he needed her close to keep him and his wolf calm.
“Phoebe, you remember Elder Ansel,” Jason slowly reclaimed his control. Phoebe acknowledged him before turning her attention to the she-wolves. “You haven’t met yet, but this is Christina and Emily.”
“Oh! Hello,” Phoebe smiled at them. “Ben and Lucy have told me so much about you!”
“Luna,” the pair smiled in return, studying their Luna.
She was as petite and pretty as they had been told. But it was her aura that rendered them speechless. It was calm and all-encompassing. It swirled around them like a gentle breeze. Their wolves curled up enjoying the peace resonating
within.
“Chirst and Em like to travel so they often gather information for me,” Jason said as some sort of explanation to Ansel.” Chris, Em, Elder Ansel is here to discuss my upcoming duel.”
“Duel?” Emily repeated. That was news to them.
“Prince Nolan challenged Jason for his title and control of Blue Moon,” Luke told them, letting the implications sink in.
“Yes, and as I was explaining, because this duel is for the alpha title Blue Moon’s high-ranking members have to be present, including his Luna.”
Jason growled, “Phoebe is not going anywhere near it.”
“Shh, shh,” Phoebe hushed running her hand through his hair.
Jason sighed leaning into her touch letting her sooth him and his wolf. Ansel watched, slowly relaxing. Only moments ago Jason was practically enraged and now he was docile as a kitten. Well…maybe not quite that docile.
“If Jason is risking his pack what is the prince risking?” Emily asked.
“Well…”
