For the next hour. Karisma spent it telling Luca and Tobias all about the altercation at her school. Tobias

was furious that a beta took it upon himself to dish out punishment just because Karisma was a rogue pup adopted by an alpha couple.

As of beta blood himself, he knew that the beta should not have engaged and brought it between his alpha

and Alpha Philip. Luca was just as pissed. He made sure that no matter the reason, members of the

ranked families would be treated as if they were blood to those families.

He never wanted others to feel how alone he felt when he was dealing with the elders and his family when

his wolf was sealed. No one deserves that kind of pain, and for the Moonlight Rose pack to disregard

Karisma’s position in her pack just because she was adopted. Ment that they disregarded his authority

when he made the law.

Before Luca could ask about the bandage on her leg, the doors opened as Riley came into her room in a

hurry.

“Oh, Uncle Luca. Uncle Tobias. What are you guys doing in here?” She asked. Confused and a bit afraid for

Karisma. Since she left in such a hurry for Edolas, she didn’t tell anyone except one of the pack doctors

about the girl in her room. She hoped that she didn’t get Karisma into any trouble for being in the royal

pack house without the alpha king being aware of or allowing her presence.

“Jake had one of his nightmares during his nap and went looking for you again. Since you were not here,

we didn’t even think to check your room until we looked everywhere else.” Tobias said. Riley nodded in

understanding.

“I found Jake curled up with Karisma when I came here, and she was singing songs to comfort him. Now

she has been telling us why she is here.” Luca said.

Riley nodded again and straightened her posture. “Yes, there was an altercation between the Moonlight Rose pack and the Starlight pack in their neutral territory. It seems that no one in the Moonlight Rose pack respects Karisma as an alpha’s daughter, even though Alpha Philip was very vocal about his relationship with her, and treated her like shit because she was born a rogue.”

While she and Kai were in Edolas, Riley had her little brother, Alistar, hack into the school systems and find anything and everything on Karisma, her close friends, and all of her bullies. At 17 years old, Kai and Riley’s triplet siblings all graduated at the ages of 15. Each with skills of their own.

Raven was a silent killer and a master of disguises. Getting video and audio recordings of her targets was almost as if it were second nature to her dragon sister. Raven could mimic a person so well that even her family members had a hard time telling who was who when she tested her skills on them.

Alistar was next to be named alpha since Riely, Kai, and Raven all had declined the role, and he was the best hacker. He can dig up anyone’s skeletons, no matter where they try to hide them. Though he doesn’t

do it often. He hates it when people toy with others just because they think they are untouchable and can

do anything they please.

The youngest triplet is by far the scariest of them all. Ambrose is a silent hunter who loves to play with his food. He lets his targets know that they are being hunted, just not by who is doing the hunting. It makes

them lose their minds. He never hides how much he enjoys the dirty work from anyone. It was also why he

decided not to be a co–alpha with Alistar. He never wants those he protects to fear him.

Alistar added to the sss the details that he sent to Riley that he and Raven had to keep Ambrose from moving forward with destroying the entire Moonlight Rose pack. Riley didn’t get to read the whole file

herself yet, so she just grabbed her laptop and placed it between Luca and Tobias..

Pulling up her emails, she brought up the report that Alistar sent her. As she read it through more

thoroughly with her uncles, her blood started to boil. She could feel the anger in Luca and Tobais rising along with her.

Ever since Alpha Philip adopted Karisma. The Moonlight Rose pack has been encouraging others to show

her no proper respect. To the extent that even some of her own pack members don’t see her as part of the

alpha family.

Showing such divided opinions within the pack is one reason that Alpha Philip’s pack has had many issues

with rogues. Because a pack divided is a weak pack.

There is also an odd number of attacks of rogue vampires attacking Alpha Philip’s pack. One attack

almost led to Karisma being kidnapped from the pack daycare when she was only 7. Alpha Philip and his

beta were the ones to save her before the vampire made it to the tree line. From then on, she was always

with one of the ranked members at all times and was trained in both hand–to–hand combat and weapons

use.

Luca thought about it and remembered that Jeremiah had mentioned a few years ago that there had been

an increase in attacks with rogue vampires throughout the lands. It has caused him to travel more often

than Luca and Drake, but no matter what… There was no answer to what was causing it.

Luca looked up from Riley’s laptop and towards Karisma.

“Do you know why the vampires tried to take you that day?” He asked, knowing that it could be a long shot since it was almost over ten years ago.

“Honestly, I do not know. All I can remember is him grabbing me after I had gotten cut on some broken glass… I thought he was mumbling about something, but I couldn’t understand it.” Karisma said, looking up to meet Luca’s gaze. “Because of that, Papa made it an important rule that I go nowhere without one of the ranked members. It only got easier after I started high school and was trained in both hand–to–hand and weapon usage.”

“We could ask Aunt Sabrina to do a memo

sma once Jeremiah gets back. He might know what he was mumbling about, or at least be able to read the vampire’s expressions that 7–year–old Karisma couldn’t understand.” Tobias suggested. Riley and Luca both looked at each other and then

nodded.

“That is perfect. I will call her later tonight and then talk to Jeremiah about returning sooner than planned.”

Luca said.

Karisma looked at the three of them in confusion. “What is a memory mind share?”

Tobias sat up in his seat. “It will allow a small group of people to see past events from a person’s memory.

Even though you can not recall them right now, we would see everything from your eyes and hear

everything from your ears.”
