Everyone at the table froze. Rick leaned in. “What the hell are you talking about? You don’t have a pup.”

“Oh I know.” I sighed. “My bloodline is blessed by the goddess. By two goddesses, I should say. I am descended from the first family. My wolf-”
Don’t mention having the both of us. I trust them, but the less they know, the better. Nix shook her head.
They are all under the vow. I shot back. But Megan settled next to Nix.
I agree with Nix. Don’t overload them. Just stick with the magic for now.
“My wolf is descended from the goddess. And my witch heritage is blessed by the three faced goddess. And with the blessing comes a gift.” I took a drink.
“A gift?” Alannah finished her steak. “What kind of gift?”
“My father’s line has a second chance.” I twirled my knife.
“A second chance?” Rick pushed his empty plate away and I nodded.
“I have lived my life before, you see. I was twenty–four when my mate strapped me to a gurney. He strapped me to a bed, and he had our doctor cut me open, taking our pup from my body because he believe Shannon. She told him I had cheated, and the pup wasn’t his.” I took a drink from my shaking hand. “She lied, of course. I was faithful. But he had betrayed our bond, marked my stepsister, and killed our pup.” I looked back at everyone’s faces. “I died on that table. I died while cursing my mate. And then I wolte up on my eighteenth birthday, the day I was supposed to meet my mate. And I ran to my father’s pack, so I didn’t have to face him until I could protect myself.”
“Who was your mate?” Alannah asked, and I could only smile.
“Brandon was n
my
mate. He cheated on me with my sister and killed our pup. So this time around, I am determined to kill him and
everything he holds dear.” I could feel the rage in my blood.
“Then why are you with him?” Rick was genuinely confused, and I wanted to laugh.
“Because the king and my father needed me to break into Vince’s firewalls from the inside. Because I needed to get close and Brandon was an easy in. Because Vince and his son crave power and money more, then anything else and I have plenty of both.”
Rick leaned in with a new gleam in his eyes. “Why are you telling us all of this? I mean, it’s my job to keep people out of the mainframe.”
“You Do
I nodded. “Like I said, I think you need my help and that you can help me.” I stared at Rick. “You need help.”
Rick sucked in a breath through his teeth. “What do you know?”

“Nothing. But I can see it in your eyes. Every day you come in a little more desperate. Just a tiny bit more worried. You need help and you don’t know who to turn to.” I reached across the table. “Let me help you.” I squeezed. “I promise I will help you, even if you can’t help me. I would never expect that from you.”
I felt him shudder. “My daughter is sick. I told you.” I nodded. “Vince holds her medicine hostage.”
Alannah gasped, “How can he do that?”
kto
I laughed, but it was dark. “Vince will use anything to hold power over others.” I turned back to Rick. “What’s wrong with your daughter?”
“We have been told that it’s the withering.”
