The Southern Alpha walked us back along the trail towards the house. I held tight to Tristan’s hand, telling myself over and over again that we’d be all right, things would work out. Losing his Alpha status wouldn’t be the end of the world; there were plenty of shifters who could take over from him. They could have a Trial like the one Trick had won, and name a new Alpha. It would be the simplest thing in the world…

But for some reason, Tristan didn’t look so hopeful. He’d grown tense, his face set in a hard scowl. “Are you okay?” I asked him as we made our way through the woods.

“I’ll be fine,” he assured me in a strained voice. “I just need a few minutes to process everything that’s happened.”

“Of course,” I said. “It had to be a shock to see her again after all these years…”

He spun around, grabbed me by the shoulders, and stared into my eyes, his irises so bright that they looked almost white. For a moment I was frightened that he’d shift right then and there, that his wolf would go on a rampage and make a victim of me. I’d never seen him look so frightening, so enraged…except for the night at the Midsummer Ball when I’d worried he was going to kill his brother.

“If you think for a second that I care about Elodie,” he snarled, his voice feral, “about the fact that she’s alive, you’re wrong. I hate that woman with every fiber of my being. I despise what she is. I despise what she’s done to us. She’s the fucking devil.”

With that, he turned away and stormed up the path towards the house.

Trick sidled up next to me and laid a gentle hand on my shoulder, calming my shaking body.

“I had no idea,” he said, “about Elodie. About any of this. I knew the head of the Seven was female, but none of us had ever met her. I’m really sorry this happened in my territory. I’d heard rumblings that she might show up, but none of my people warned me who she really was, which means they didn’t know either.”

“It’s not your fault,” I muttered. “It’s hers.” I turned to look at the Southern Alpha, tears streaking my cheeks. “What’s wrong with Tristan? I know this was a shock, but at the end of the day we still have each other. I thought that was good news, but…”

“He’ll be okay.” His jaw tightened, and I could see that he was holding something back.

“What is it?” I asked. “What are you thinking?”

“There’s something going on here that he’s not telling us. I can’t quite figure it out, but there’s something in him…something far darker than he’s letting on.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice quivering.

“Not sure. But I think…I think you should keep an eye on him. Don’t let him out of your sight for a while at least. I may not know Elodie, but I know as well as you do that the Seven are manipulators.
