Chapter 7

Lynda sat in a rocking chair beside the window, her two little ones nursing as she gazed out at the stars. She rocked slowly back and forth, trying to release the fear that she had experienced earlier in the day.

Ben was taking care of things with Tanis, providing her a comfortable but secure room to sleep in. He had guards on her at all times. He had tried to explain why he would allow such a dangerous person to be near the babies a dozen times, but Lynda still didn’t understand it.

She had gone to great lengths to protect her own sister, but her sister had not tried to steal her children either. But when she heard the front door of the cabin swing open and then close again, she let her eyes fall shut. She wished she was in bed so that she could pretend to be asleep.

After a few minutes Ben opened the bedroom door quietly, in case the babies were sleeping, and looked inside. When he saw them suckling he smiled sweetly at Lynda. Lynda did not smile back.

“Don’t be angry,” Ben pleaded as he walked into the room. He knew already that he was in trouble.

“Is that a request or a command, Alpha?” she asked him quietly with more than a little attitude. She got up from her seat and gently placed the babies inside their bassinets before turning swiftly to face him.

“Just who do you think I am?” she asked him in a whisper, the question so full of venom that he was startled by the tone of her voice. He had no idea how to answer her question.

“Lynda,” he sighed as he stepped in closer to her. “Please try to understand. Tanis… she was only a baby herself when she disappeared. She told me a little about what had happened to her when I was talking to her just a bit ago. She was abducted… well I call it abducted, but that wasn’t her choice of words.”

Ben walked even closer to her as he went on, “She never came right out and said it, but I think it was the witch… the witch we dealt with all those months ago. And I think she raised Tanis to be her apprentice. And yes, before you ask, I really feel it was the same witch we dealt with not too long ago… but I can’t prove it.”

Ben continued on, “Lynda, it’s not who she truly is, since she got lost way back then… she’s never had the chance to become who she truly was going to be.”

“So that’s an excuse?” Lynda snapped, her anger surfacing once more. Then
