“A true alpha has instincts instilled within from the day they are born, it’s not something which can be bestowed on the weak-hearted.”

When Dustin called an end to the meeting, all the members left feeling more anxious than before. Conversations were spread in every direction as each alpha started to travel back to their pack. But, definitively, the questions were the same: what were they going to do? And how were they going to tell their pack?

Declan managed to get additional information from the older woman who had recounted the tale of the witch who had cursed the werewolf. He felt somewhat hopeful about this lead, but he also knew it would take some time before he could follow up on it.

Noelle walked next to Declan, completely absorbed in her own thoughts. She was afraid, mostly because of her vulnerability —the hunters knew of her existence and now werewolves across the country knew as well. As much as Dustin tried to assure her that they would do everything in their power to protect her, she felt more alone than ever before. She knew that she would not be able to stay there, or with any other pack, for that matter. Not without risking their safety. It was already clear that the hunters would stop at nothing to find her.

Declan invited Noelle back to his tent while Maria and Dustin convened to discuss their strategy plans. Noelle sat down on the floor and pressed the palms of her hands into her eyes. She didn’t want to cry right there. She didn’t want anyone to see her in this state of weakness, especially Declan.

“I’m so sorry,” Noelle whispered to him.

Declan looked at her quizzically. His head was cocked to the side and his eyebrows were pulled together in concern. “What do you have to apologize for, Noelle?” Declan asked as he reached for her chin. He pushed her face up gently so that their eyes met.

“If it weren’t for my blood,” Noelle said softly, “none of this would be happening. You would not have turned human. Hunters would not be killing off werewolves in search of me. This is all my fault.”

“Noelle.” Declan sighed her name. He shook his head gently and looked deeply into her eyes.

Declan brought his face to hers and kissed her softly. As their lips met, he was reminded of the times they had shared before —so much passion and desperation between them. Both craving some sort of escape from the life that fate had assigned to them. Now, in their kiss, as their tongues danced together in familiarity, he tasted their history —a bittersweet combination of sadness, and change, and chemistry, and love, which almost always involved a sort of sadness and change in and of itself.

“Declan, I have missed you,” Noelle admitted out loud. As soon as the words left her lips, she felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.

They had both been through so much together, but they kept finding themselves wrapped in each other’s arms —the only safe space where they could admit their hidden truths.
