“Any change?” I hear whispered softly behind me, turning in my chair I see Rick standing in the doorway to Anna’s medical room.
“Not yet.” I say with a sad smile.
“Maybe you should come home and get some sleep?” I shrug my shoulders but don’t move from my spot of watching over Anna. “Lizzie is missing her mama.
“Nice guilt trip.” I say turning to flip him off, he simply barks out a laugh.
“Well if you won’t move for that, why don’t you come and speak to the baker with me.” Now that piques my interest.
“Can I be the bad cop?” He laughs and holds the door open for me as I walk towards him.
“Here and the bedroom, I think I spoil you.” We walk out of the medical centre and towards the Pack House hand in hand.
While we walk we don’t talk, we simply walk in companionable. silence. I adore this man so much, he brought me back from what I can only see as my darkest time. For a while there I did not trust a single word out of his mouth and now he can simply look at me and make me feel like I’m the only woman in the world.
Something inside of me broke when I found out I could not carry a child. Rick supported me like he was meant to but it was Anna who

held me while I cried. She let me cry all my grief out and never judged. me for it, she tried to make me laugh and when I was having a really bad time with it she let me hold little Thomas for as long as I needed. The day Alpha Daryl turned up with Lizzie she didn’t use the Pack link. to call me, no. She ran to me as fast as her little legs would take her, she looked like Christmas, Easter and the Great British Bake Off had come all at once. She was just so happy to make me happy, she’s that kind of person.
So if I have to beat every baker in this pack into the ground to find out what they did to my friend then I will. Watch out guys, you have awoken my inner warrior.

“Tell me again, ingredient by ingredient.” I watch in awe as Eliza interrogates Susan Winter, she’s the lady who owns the bakery Anna bought the chocolate cake from.
“I swear it was the same cake I bake each week, please Alpha. You have to believe me.” She has been saying the same thing for over an hour now.
Anna, my mother and Lizzie are all in the medical centre, Lizzie and my mum have woken up but are being kept in overnight for precaution. Anna hasn’t woken up yet, Doctor Lee said it was a lethal dose of wolfsbane, if Anna had eaten the whole slice she would have died. It’s a da mn miracle that she shared her cake, she never does and I think it was only because of Lizzie that she did.
“Eliza.” I say in a low voice, I watch with amusement as she suddenly whips her head around at me calling her name. Her eyes are blazing yellow, she has fully sunken into her warrior role, I’ve never seen her like this before. She manages to reign her wolf in before coming over
to me. “Let her go, she doesn’t know anything.”

“She made the da mn cake!” She growls at me.
“Liza.” Rick cautions from the corner of the room.
“Sorry. Alpha.” She quickly apologises, I know she didn’t mean the disrespect. I get it, she’s worried for her friend. Sighing I leave the cells and head back up
to the kitchen.
I need a minute, I need to check on Thomas and then I need to go over to the medical centre to see Anna and my mother. Although I need not have worried about Thomas, he’s in his highchair being spoon fed his dinner by a young wolf I sort of know.
“Hello?” I say to the girls back as I walk towards her and Thomas. I must have frightened her as she drops the bowl of what looks to be mashed potatoes and carrots.
“Alpha! Oh my. I am so sorry.” She quickly jumps to the floor and starts to pile the food back into the bowl.
“It’s ok, I just wasn’t expecting anyone to be here with Thomas.” I explained helping her off the floor, she smells good, like morning expresso and full bloom summer roses.
‘Mate!’ I’m so stunned by Leo’s declaration that I miss everything the young woman in front of me says, it’s like a haze has just come over me. Another mate, I’ve heard of multiple mates but it’s rare, really rare.
“Sorry, what did you say?” I watch as the girl blinks up at me.
“I said I’m Faye. I work at the nursery, when we heard what happened to Luna and your mother I thought you might need some help with Thomas. When I came in no one was here, so I just grabbed him and fed him. I hope that’s ok?” I watch her mouth form the words but it’s like there is a delay in my brain.

“Erm, yeah sure. Listen, I have to go and do something. Are you ok with him?” I’m out of the kitchen before she even finishes nodding.
I don’t stop moving until I’m in my office with my back against the door, my breath is pounding out of me like I’ve run a marathon. A new mate, a second mate…holy mother of all that is holy. There is no way this can work, Anna will never be ok with a third, hell I don’t even know if I am.
‘Mate.’ Leo growls again.
‘Yeah, you already said that!’ I grump back at him.
‘Go, claim.’ I can feel him pushing me.
‘What about Anna? I feel Leo stop pushing me like I’ve just reminded him Anna exists.
‘She won’t like this. Winter won’t share.’ I have to agree, Anna is formidable on her own but add in her wolf and hell itself won’t be safe.
‘T’ll have to reject her, as soon as possible.’ I feel Leo whines at this, rejecting a mate is not easy for either side of the rejection.
‘Her wolf is strong, I felt her under her skin.’ Leo states.
‘Strong enough to beat Winter and Anna?’ If it comes to a battle between the two I don’t think I could let Anna go into a fight I know. she won’t win.
‘Right now, I think Faye will win if they go head to head. Winter is strong but she’s undisciplined.’ Leo is only being honest but I know it’s
true.
‘Then when Anna is better we need to train her up, I won’t reject Faye until I know Anna ‘can win. Are you sure it will come to a battle?’ I can

feel Leo agreeing.
“It will. We
are a strong Alpha of a big pack, any female would want to be Luna here. Once Anna is better we need to keep her safe and trained as fast as possible.’ Leo is right.
‘We need to keep this to us, I can’t even tell James. If anyone knows there is a second candidate for Luna it may cause problems in the Pack.’ I feel Leo agreeing with me as I walk over to my desk and start to type up a training schedule for Anna once she is better. I will also need to find someone to help me with Thomas while Anna is sick. I need to distance myself from Faye as much as possible before the mate bond takes hold. I wont allow this to ruin my relationship with Anna.
