I park my car in front of the Carter house and walk inside with purpose. I go straight toward Darius' office - I know he's there because the smell leads me to it.

As I approach, I hear many other voice - another pack meeting. One without their fake 'Luna' as per usual.

I open the door and walk in, not paying any attention to the dozen people inside, besides my mate.

He stares right back at me.

"Meeting's over," I say, still not parting my eyes.

Darius purses his lips a little, and I can tell he's deciding whether to send me off at once and keep his word...
