A display of power that although | may be cordial, | am still very much an Alpha who will not tolerate disrespect
or betrayal.
“Of course, | understand,” he replies.
We walk in silence for several minutes and even | realise they are taking detours and backtracking to confuse us.
But | have not lost my sense of direction, the moon that peeps through the trees is enough of a guidance.
They may be trying to protect their own location, but I am beginning to feel a little doubtful about trusting them.
Should | have heeded Sebastian’s warning?
Just when I'm about to refuse to go any further, Olivan comes to a stop in front of what looks like a large log
cabin. It's long, and it’s a good size. The windows are covered, but through scracks, | can see the faint glow
of light.
“Ah! Here we are. Come, | apologise for the delay, but we have arrived.” He smiles as he knocks on the door, and
they swing open.

We're in what remindsof a winter lodge. This might be their pack house....
The first thing | notice is a powerful aura coming from the shadows of the room. There's a man sitting there, his
back is to us, a hood pulled over his head, but it's the aura that intrigues me....
He's holding a steaming mug in his hand, tattooed numerals cover his fingers, and he wears a few rings.
Who is that?
“Ah, that is my son, clet's head to my office.” He says, leadingpast the sofas and tables. It's empty...
too empty as if they were told to clear out.
| glance at Jai, who givesa look, clearly tellinghe doesn’t trust any of this.
I'm not sure if Jai’s men are close anymore, but | hope I’m not wrong and that Olivan will really consider joining
hands with us.
Once we are in the office, which isn’t too big. Olivan gestures toto take a seat in one of the three chairs. He
motions Atticus to take the next one, but Atticus shakes his head.
“I prefer to stand.” He says, positioning himself right behind me.
As you wish,” Olivan replies, taking the seat opposite us. “Now what do you have to offer that the Sable Triquetra
can't?”
“Excuse me?” | ask, my heart skipping a beat.
Why did he even bring us all this way just to say that?
“Well, all | can say is, there is nothing that you can offerthat the Sable can’t. So why should I pick the side
where a woman is the leader, when they clearly are the winners?” Olivan says as he relaxes back in his seat,
making my stomach sink.
Sebastian was right.
“Then you should have told us out there,” Jai snarls, his eyes flashing in irritation.
Olivan smiles. “But then, how would | be able to do my part?”

“What-" Atticus stops mid-sentence as a sudden smoke begins filling the room.
Don’t inhale!” he shouts.
Olivan grabs something from under his desk, pulling on a mask as | instantly cover my mouth as smoke fills the
room, stinging my eyes and skin.
Jai launches himself across the table, but | pull him back as something smashes through the window, whizzing
past our heads before | hear the sound of the gunshot.
Fuck.
We've been tricked.
