There was no leaving my boost. That skirmish had been tame in the grand scheme of things, and my wolf had felt a surge of pride at being able to protect my boost so well. But even my head was spinning with the knowledge Eyke had dropped. A burning frustration seeped through me that there was so much heaped upon Cami’s shoulders. That the history of Legion was hounding after her like ghosts, determined to turn her into dust. Sitting on the opposite side of Cami, on the other small bed, I ignored the questioning look Cami was giving me. I rubbed my chest and sighed when she scooted further up the bed, lips pursed towards me. Wellyn perched next to her, wringing his hands in his lap, and taking her in with wide violet eyes. They shined with inner light. His creature was close to the surface.

“Are you sure you’re alright?” he asked.

Cami nodded. Her eyes were slightly wired.

“Whatever that second drink was, it’s worked as fast as the first. And Tallis really helped with his heat.”

We sat in silence for a moment. Wellyn picked at his nails.

“My father is Head Lamott,” he blurted out, eyes wide as he waited for Cami’s reaction. I sucked in a breath through my teeth. I knew it had been hard for him to admit that. Cami’s forehead creased and her hands darted out to frame Wellyn’s face.

“Head Lamott? From the meeting? The one with the white claws?” she clarified. Wellyn nodded his head in her hands. His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out.

“This was your secret?” Cami whispered. Her head tilted so that her hair fell to the side.

Again, Wellyn nodded, his skin pale with the confession. I didn’t know what he expected, but Cami leaning forward and pressing her lips to his in a sweet, earnest kiss obviously wasn’t it. He sucked in a jittery breath as Cami moved closer and weaved her hands down his neck to rest on his chest.

“Thank you for telling me. I understand why you wouldn’t want me to know. He gave me the creeps,” she admitted.

“Tallis and I are the only other people who know the truth, and if it got out, it would be detrimental to Head Lamott and dangerous for our lives,” I butted in, seeing how Wellyn had gone mute.

“He’s an evil Legion, Cami,” Wellyn’s voice shook as he finally spoke. “He cares only for power and is ruthless in his way to get it. I didn’t want you to know. It was just one more thing to put you in danger. But I don’t want to make the same mistake as Eyke did. There is no secret worth losing your trust.”

Cami melted into him. His arms snaked around her to form a tight embrace. He glanced up at me, his fingers running the length of her spine. His muscles quivered as he clutched her into him, shell-shocked, like he hadn’t expected her reaction to be so accepting.
