CHAPTER 11

Renata couldn’t believe she’d just divulged one of her biggest secrets to someone she’d only met that afternoon.

“Holy shit!” said Piper. “Really? God my Aunt Amy would love to meet you. She’s into all that stuff. She’s also the pack’s storyteller. She knows all the legends and is pretty good at separating fact from fiction. I know we didn’t talk about the Darkness much, but there may come a time we could use a true magick wielder.”

“If I can help, I will. Like I said though, what I know about the Darkness comes from a theory Bran had. You might want to talk with him.”

Renata was grateful for Piper’s presence throughout the rest of the gala. Piper steered her away from pack leaders and deftly kept her moving through the crowd. Finally, the gala was coming to a close and they wanted to present the check to her. As Mariah had told her he would, Oliver Halsey had matched the donations made that night and the total amount was staggering.

“I don’t have adequate words to properly thank all of you for your kindness. The artists who donated their works, the museum, and Lloyds, who sponsored this event. And thank you to Oliver Halsey for matching the donations and to all of you who generously opened your hearts and your wallets for the school and the village. I can’t begin to tell you how much good will be done with your generosity. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

After the photos were taken and while Oliver seemed preoccupied with something on his mobile, Piper and Roz Halsey, the indomitable Mistress of the Hamptons, spirited Renata away from the crowd, out a side exit, and into a car Roz had arranged to take her back to the hostel.

“You’ve done a pretty good job of staying away from the alphas, but I think they may be on to you. Piper, get her out of London tonight.”

“Do you think you can distract your mate long enough?” asked Renata.

Roz smiled at her. “Sweetie, since the first time he drove the alpha knot deep inside me, I’ve been able to distract my mate.”

“You don’t hate it?” Renata asked. “I’m sorry, that’s none of my business.”

“Mariah shared with me a bit of your past. I don’t know what happened to your mother and my heart breaks for her but being mated to Oliver is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m pretty clear with him when I’m looking to get knotted and tied. Thankfully, he’s more than willing to accommodate me. If it’s the alpha knot that has you spooked, don’t let it. It is the most erotic experience in the world and the tie is the most intimate. Keep a sharp eye out though, there may be packs closer to the Hebrides that want to assimilate you. If so, get out and get word to one of the girls. We’ll protect you.”

Impulsively, Renata threw her arms around Roz and hugged her tight.
