Elinor

Connor stood to the left of the door. Darian, dressed proudly in his black Werewolf Guard uniform, stood to the right. With Connor’s blond hair cascading down his shoulders and Darian’s curly black hair shaved low at the sides, they looked like the personifications of night and day.

Darian’s hazel eyes fell on me, and I narrowed my eyes back at him. I still couldn’t stand the guy, and I was sure the feeling was mutual. Sure, I remembered the night I had overheard him talking highly of me to my father. Even so, he’d sabotaged my efforts to join the Guards repeatedly from the first day I expressed interest.

Hater.

“I’m sorry to see you go . . .” My father’s voice grabbed my attention, and I looked over to where he and Cyrus were talking.

“It’s for the best,” Cyrus answered. “After hearing what happened, I knew you’d agree.”

I hadn’t!

That's what I wanted to yell, and from the look on Skye's face, she had been hoping for the same—that my father would somehow try to convince Cyrus to stay. A part of me understood that Cyrus leaving was for the best, but as his sister of sorts, it was hard for me to let him go so easily.

Yes, he said he’d return from time to time, but that wasn’t enough. To make matters worse, I knew Skye was being ripped apart inside because I, too, would leave soon. My father had only returned a day ago, so we hadn’t spoken about my marriage to Elijah just yet. But it was only a matter of time. Or knowing my father, Elijah would just show up one day and that would be when I was finally told what was happening.

“Thank you for saving Elinor and Skye,” my father said to Cyrus, placing his fist over his heart. “Our pack will remain open to you always.”

“Thank you.” Cyrus returned the gesture of respect. “I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.” He nodded to Connor and Darian, who both placed their hands over their hearts as well.

Skye rose from her seat abruptly and barreled out of the room, leaving an awkward silence behind her. My father’s knowing eyes darted from the door she had stormed through to Cyrus and then to me.

“I’ll speak to her,” I told him. “I’ll be staying with her tonight after Cyrus leaves.”

He nodded. “Before you leave, we have something to talk about. And although Cyrus is leaving, I think he needs to hear it as well.” I nodded and sat down where Skye had been. “I’ll get straight to it,” he said. “Supernaturals and humans were disappearing before this demon appeared. Since the demon Cyrus killed couldn’t have been responsible for those disappearances, it would appear we still have an issue on our hands.”

“What? Disappearing how?” Darian asked as his thick, dark brows pulled together. Considering he was a Werewolf Guard and obviously just hearing about this now, I could understand the look of shock and anger in his eyes.

I had been right, then.
