Riannon gathered her hair at the back of her head and dressed up quickly into a

pair of blue jeans, comfortable leather boots and an oversized blouse, part of

which she tucked under her belt. All while she was calling Ash and Maya in turns.

But to her disappointment and horror, none of them was replying.

She tried to steady her breathing as panic almost overwhelmed her. She couldn’t

lose Maya. Not again. She already lost her once and it almost broke her.

It did break her. This was the point from which everything went downhill.

She remembered every detail even now. Roxy was launching attack after attack

on her. But Maya was helping to protect her best friend and helped Riannon to

avoid traps more than once. She was very snarky towards Roxy always and

quickly got under her radar.

So, one day she was accused of treason. There was no evidence against her.

Just a confession of a warrior from one of the enemy packs from the East, who

insisted that she was trading secrets with them in the hope to become the next

Beta after Ash was accidentally

killed. Even Ash wasn’t convinced but her loyalty was compromised. And that

was when Brayden came up with a good solution as he called it. To send Maya to

the border to serve as one of the guards there. Just several days later her post

out of all others was under attack. Moreover, she was one of the very few dead.

Closing her eyes, Riannon felt a tear roll down her cheek as she remembered

driving all the way to the border with Ash as soon as she received the news.

Brayden couldn’t look her in the eye and she did not want to see him anyway.

The Beta brought her to one of the small cottages of the border village and there

on a table lay her best friend, covered with a white sheet. They already cleaned

her body after they heard that the Luna was coming. But they still couldn’t do

anything about the claw marks which didn’t grow well together after she shifted

back to her human form after her death. Those ugly uneven scars were going

through her face and neck, some were on her chest. And just by looking at them,

Riannon could tell that several beasts were attacking Maya.

She was so cold. So lifeless. A shell of the person that she knew. It was hard to

recognise in that vacant face the person that Maya was. The strong girl, who was

a fighter in heart and could barely spend a minute without cracking a joke wasn’t

there anymore.

Riannon remembered how she wept over her friend’s body. How painful it

was.How Ash tore her off and how she cried into his chest for hours in that

cottage...

But all that happened much later in time in her previous life. What was happening

now? If

She took her bag and went downstairs, hoping not to meet anyone and find a car

easily. If anything, she was sure she could ask for some assistance from Savvy.

The princess seemed like someone who could understand the situation.

However, the first person Riannon met was Reid. He was reading something in

his Ipad in the living room when she passed it. But he jumped to his feet as soon

as he noticed her and followed her.

“Where are you going?” he asked, slightly shocked seeing her ready to leave. “I

need to get back to my pack,” the Luna stated plainly as she kept walking to the

exit.

“Absolutely not!” Reid blocked her way.

“I don’t think that I asked your permission,” Ria arched her brow, “I simply

informed you that I am going.”

“Luna,” the Beta tried to reason with her, “I am sorry. But I just can’t allow it.

Gideon will kill me when he comes back.”

“Let’s drop the formalities, Reid,” she looked at him with a challenge, “If I don’t go

back to my pack now, my best friend in the whole world may die! I just cannot let

that happen.”

“But I...”

“I will hate Gideon forever if you stop me now because of him,” she lied. She

would never hate the lycan king. It was simply impossible. However, she knew

that this was the right button to push on the Beta. Nevertheless she decided to

sweeten it a bit, “Reid, I can’t lose her. I almost lost her once and it was the worst

thing ever. For me, she is my Beta...”

Something changed in his eyes at her words. Something clicked. Because after

that, he opened the door for her himself, saying, “I will drive.”

She decided not to argue with that. A lycan by her side could prove useful.

The drive to the Silver River pack seemed terribly long and they barely spoke to

each other the whole time.

“This friend of yours,” Reid decided to break the silence, “Is she at least hot?”

“Hotter than fire,” Riannon scoffed, “But way out of your league.”

“Excuse me?!” the Beta pretended to be offended although his eyes gleamed as

if he has accepted the challenge, “Any girl will be happy to land a lycan Beta like

me!”

“Not Maya though,” Ria chuckled, “She is different. She doesn’t care about title

and she is not your typical she-wolf.” story about Maya, relieving years of their

friendship.

The guards let them into the pack territory with ease, greeting their Luna. “Wait

for me here,” Ria told the lycan when he parked in front of her house and she

jumped out of the car.

The door of the mansion opened at once and a very troubled Ash walked out of

it. He looked her up and down as if he was checking for something and then took

her hand, pulling her behind him.

“Where is she?” Riannon asked him, not even trying to struggle. “In the barn,” he

replied dryly, “Everyone is there! I have to tell you that it doesn’t look good,

Riannon.”

“Ash, stop for a second! Explain to me what is going on! What happened to

Maya?” she begged him.

He stopped, inhaling deeply and then turned to face her.

“Goddess knows what is happening, Riannon,” he said, “It started yesterday but

it escalated rather quickly into something completely else!”

“Details, Ash, I need details!” she urged him.

“Yesterday, out of the blue Roxanne announced at the pack dinner that she saw

Maya stealing from your jewellery box while you were missing,” he started

explaining.

“What nonsense!” Ria rolled her eyes, “Maya would never! And anyway, she can

take whatever she likes from my jewellery box if she needs it.”

“That’s what we all thought,” the Beta nodded, “Only that it did not end there. All

of a sudden Brayden got very angry and ordered to search Maya’s room.”

“Of course, he did,” the woman gritted her teeth.

“But that was when they found Maya hiding a secret phone in her room,” Ash

went on,“ The Alpha ordered her to unlock it and this was when the shit hit the

fan. Because on that phone she was texting with foxes and werebears. And even

lycans from the Eastern kingdom. And I mean texting about upcoming attacks on

our pack. She was giving them information on when would be the best days to

attack us...”

“That’s impossible!” Riannon splashed her hands, “Maya would never...”

“Again,” he interrupted her, “Everyone said so. But right now, this escalated even

more... That’s why you need to go to the barn with me. You need to see this.”

repeating itself!

Yet when the doors of the barn were opened before her, she met Brayden’s gaze.

And Roxanne’s too. Maya was right next to them.

But Riannon was already staring in the pair of smoky grey eyes. She would never

forget them...
