Chapter 0127

We stand in silence as the elevator rides up to the fourth floor. It’s tense, but not uncomfortable.Even my wolf knows something important is going on and is taking in every detail she can. I try tosteady my breathing, just like waiting for an opponent to strike in a fight.

Finally, the elevator reaches the top floor and it opens slowly. I feel like time is messing with me,with how long it is taking just to get to the Luna and Alpha. All of asudden I am engulfed in a hugand blinded by the softest sweater ever. If I could breathe, I would let the Luna keep me wrapped uplike this for longer, but I have to tap her shoulder to let her know I need her to loosen her grip on myneck.

“My sweet girl, you're alright!” She whispers out.

“Why wouldn't I be alright? What’s going on?”

“The threat we came across last night was not specific, but it was implied that a powerful femalewas the target. That could be a few different people, the Luna Queen and myself included, but therehave been several high ranking females here over the last few days with the trials and several in thetrials. The

Alpha King’s guards are running patrols to try and replace the trail of the messenger, but we haven’theard a thing.” She hugs me again.

“I still don’t understand what that has to do with me.”

“Honey, the threat came right after the warrior trials, and you were the top female. The rest of theranking females left shortly after the trials were finished yesterday, most can’t spend too much time

away from their packs. So if the threat wasn’t against the Luna queen or myself, we have to assumeyou would be the next target.”

“Is that why Oliver said he got a weird feeling last night? He was on my floor sleeping, said beingclose was the only thing that made his wolf settle down. She pulled back from our hug and looked atme, a question in her eyes, that she didn’t voice out loud. "

The rest of the guys were sleeping when I left to come down, I didn’t get to talk to them.” I lookaround the room taking in the amount of people here. “Where is the Luna Queen? Shouldn’t she beup here guarded too?”

‘King Reggie felt better keeping her close, his wolf almost took over yesterday after the threat. IfLucas wasn’t leading the patrol trying to track the

messenger, I would probably be by his side too. He

hasn’t gone out of mindlink range though.” She smiles at the thought. “He’s been checking in every30 minutes or so.”

“What was the threat?” I’m super curious about what has these guys running around in the middleof the night like crazy people.

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, like she’s deciding how much information to give me.Ican see how tense her body is and it’s making my wolf and! a little anxious.

“You don’t have to say if it bothers you to talk about.”’ I spit out quickly, I don’t want to upset heranymore than she already is.

“No, sweet girl, it’s not that it will upset me, I think it will upset you.”

“Huh?! What could have been said in a threat to you or the Luna Queen that would affect me?”

She takes one more deep breath and grabs my hand. I can’t tell if she is supporting herself or mewith the gesture. “Someone broke through the western

border. It's not a far distance over the water to the mainland, but our patrols should have heard aboat coming. The messenger slipped in undetected about 5 miles, left us a package that was clearlysupposed to

be found quickly and disappeared, with no scent or any of the usual signs a tracker would notice leftbehind. There seems to be no trace of the person or people who left it.” She pauses again. She’sstalling, but I don’t know why and it’s making me sick to my stomach. “There was a full search of ourterritory and while the border patrols are going over every possibility of entry we are also doing a fullinvestigation on everyone who is here to verify their location at the time of the threat. That is what istaking so long and why everyone is still on lockdown.”

“Luna, you are really freaking me out now. I went to bed early, Oliver walked me to my room, but |left early. Am I asuspect? Cause you know I would never do anything to you or Luna Anne...” Shegrips my hand tighter.

“Shh. Sweet girl.” She lifts a hand to cup my face. "

It’s nothing like that. We know where you were, you are not in trouble, but I do think you might be indanger.”

My eyebrows shoot up and the tears pooling behind my eyes slip down my cheeks. “What?!”

Another inhale and then a squeeze of my hand and a soft rub of my cheek with her thumb. “Sweetgirl, our warriors found two fingers in a box. They had been frozen and there doesn’t seem to beany blood left to use for identification, but we have everyone who could possibly give us answersworking on that.”
