Calliope POV
he stands up when he sees me. “Calliope, this is Alpha Eli’s mother, Luna Amelia.” I shoot him a glare because he had better not have said a word to her about what happened in the office. I reach out my hand and she takes it. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luna.” Her smile is warm and kind. “It’s nice to meet you, Alpha Calliope. We were so happy when Lily told us that you had taken over as the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack. I’m glad you were able to meet Eli here in the pack today about the alliance

Why the hell would they breach the pack so close to the gate? That’s when I realize most of the warriors are patrolling the borders for attacks, leaving the gate area with minimal guards.

There is only a handful of vampires left and I start to move through the crowd. The mix of scents is making it hard for me to scent her. We kill two vampires when the scent of apples and cinnamon invades our nose. Silas takes off for the trees and we stop dead when we see a red wolf standing over a dead vampire. Four more bodies are lying about ten feet from them. Despite the color of her fur, I can tell it’s wet with blood. Silas walks over and begins to lick her fur. I scent that the blood is definitely hers. She seems to lean against Silas and I wonder if the blood loss is taking its toll on her. She has a gash on her nose and blood covering the fur on her back. Without warning, she shifts and her body slumps to the ground. Without a second thought, I shift and scoop her into my arms. “We
