Aaron and I make our way to the formal sitting room we use to entertain important guests.

We wait silently, and time seems to drag on forever.

Eventually there are voices and footsteps in the hall, and then James leads The Elder Samsen and The Elder Petyr into the room, two of the highest-ranking Council members.

I swallow down a surge of anxiety at their appearance here.

“Alpha Rathborn,” Elder Samsen greets, his tone and features serious. I assume you know why we’re here.”

Aaron inclines his head. “Tobin is dead.”

This bluntness seems to surprise Samsen and Petyr, because they share a quick look

“So you admit to killing Councilmember Tobin Havelock to assume his Alpha powers and control of his pack?”

“Adam killed Tobin!” I blurt out, and I sense Aaron stiffen next to me, obviously not wanting me to draw attention to myself

But it’s too late. Both Samsen and Petyr swing their gazes to me.

And then it’s like they’re seeing me for the first time. Samsen subtly scents the air while Petyr’s eyes narrow.

“Luna Leah, if Adam killed Tobin, how have you come to possess the powers of the Havelock Alpha?” Petyr demands in a sharp voice.
