That explains why Aron and Logan joined forces with the Deluxe pack,” Xavier says as he strokes his

chin.

He is sitting inside our kitchen after my dad called him, and his resemblance to Lucas is so uncanny

that I feel dizzy. Lucas truly is his father’s son.

“They joined Alpha Max’s pack?” Lucas growls.

“They did,” Xavier confirms, looking at his son with his own intense, different-colored eyes. His eyes

are red and greent but not any less intimidating. “Logan listens to everything Aron says and Aron

wasn’t too happy being demoted from his Alpha position.”

“Aron doesn’t deserve to be an Alpha,” Lucas mutters, his gaze flickering towards me. He swallows

hard, his desire for revenge palpable, yet he manages to maintain his composure. “The Bloodmoon

pack is better off with me as their Alpha.”

I agree with him, Jinx says inside my head. ‘Aron is a pedophile and a rapist-I can’t wait to bury my

teeth in him.”

I smile a little at my wolf’s words but try to focus on the conversation at hand so that I don’t miss

anything important.

“Agreedy Xavier sighs. “Alpha Max is leading alone as well, but he has made Aron and Logan Ga

*mas. They are, in other words, war leaders. So are their sons.”

My mom and dad exchange a look before my dad decides to speak up. “Alpha Lucas, may I suggest

something?”

“Sure,” Lucas says. “I’m all ears.”

“Great,” my dad smiles. “So, according to my daughter,” he looks at me. “Alpha Max is about to open a

portal to let all kinds of magical creatures into our world. His goal, of course, is to make a demon army.

But demons aren’t the only creatures that will pour in. Elves, mermaids, mermen, witches, wizards, and

even fae might enter. This means we should open ourselves to make allies with creatures that dislike

demons, fae for example.

Irma’s eyes light up at that. “Fae?” she asks, and I can’t help but roll my eyes. Ferngully is her favorite

movie, and I can see the excitement building within me.

“Yes, fae,” Daisy smiles.” Perhaps you should be the one in charge of finding them, young lady, seeing

that you’re so interested in them.”

“That would be fun,” she grins and claps her hands in a way that reminds me of a kid at Christmas.

“Are they easy to talk with?”

Daisy and Xavier exchange a look, but while Daisy looks amused Xavier’s face turns pale. “Trust me,

Irma. You don’t want to meet a fairy.”

“Oh, hush, sunshine,” Daisy swats her mate’s arm. “Fairies are fun”

“Fun?!” Xavier looks at his mate as if she is insane. “Do you remember our anniversary?!”

Daisy grins. “When you accidentally opened a portal to the magical realm, and we fell asleep under the

oak tree only for you to wake up to the smell of burnt skin?” she giggles. “Yes, I remember. The fairy

shrunk you and tried to make you it’s dinner. It was fun watching you roll around on that spitroast

before you realized what had happened. The fairy was very unhappy when you repelled their magic,

and they no longer had a free demon to eat for dinner.

Xavier shudders. “I can’t believe I didn’t wake up when the bastard shrunk me. Fairy dust is scary, and

so are the fairies themselves,” his haunted eyes meet the ones belonging to Irma. Never show a fairy

your fear; it amuses them. Also, never tell them your name.”

“Oh, that does sound scary.” Irma grimaces. “How about the elves, then? Are they any friendlier?”

Xavier makes another face, and that’s when Caleb steps in. “How about we don’t let my daughters

recruit the new allies? I would very much like them both to stay alive.”

I shoot my dad a smile. “Thanks.”

Irma, however, pouts. “But what if elf boys are cuter than werewolf guys! I’m still trying to find my

mate…”

“Your mate won’t be an elf,” Caleb huffs. Elves are proud creatures, and their magic is ancient. It’s

better if you find a creature less unpredictable than the elves.”

“Mermen?” Irma asks in a hopeful voice, and I have to stifle a laugh with my hand when our mom

glares at her.

“How about no?” she says.

Irma groans. “But what if the moon goddess decides to hand me a mate that isn’t a vampire or a

werewolf, huh? What then?”

“Irma, Xavier cuts in, a serious tone to his voice that stifles the room. He might not be the Alpha

anymore, but he still speaks like one. “Your mate will likely be a werewolf or a vampire since I doubt the

moon goddess had planned for Lucian and Alpha Max to open portals to the other worlds.”

“Well, I think it would be exciting to have an elf or a merman as a mate!” Irma huffs defiantly.

Xavier chuckles, breaking the tension in the room. “Trust me, child, you do not want to deal with the

complexities of interspecies mating. The cultural differences alone could drive you insane.”

Daisy snorts. “Nice words coming from the tribrid, but yes, I agree. You, for example, are very hard to

deal with when you’re in a bad mood,” she teases

Xavier glares at his mate, but his eyes grow soft when she leans against him. The affection displayed

makes me glance at my mom and dad, who are also cuddling.

‘Sure would be nice to be that close with Lucas, Jinx teases, causing me to blush. ‘Are you going to

make a move on him anytime soon?”

I stiffen and quickly shoot my wolf a mental message. ‘Jinx, focus! We have more important things to

worry about right now.”

‘Do we really?’ Jinx teases. ‘Because I think finishing the mating ritual with Lucas would make both of

you stronger.

Her words make me steal a glimpse of Lucas. He is listening intently to the others, but when he notices

me looking at him,

flashes me a quick smirk that has my heart pounding in my chest. His eyes hold a promise that stirs a

longing within me,

I’ve been trying to suppress for so long.

nx wistfully sighs within me. ‘See? The chemistry between you guys is off the charts.

Jknow! I like Lucas, and he knows it, but I’m too shy to make a move. Gah, what am I supposed to

do?!’

Jinx chuckles internally, her amusement trickling into my thoughts. ‘Well, first off, you could start by not

panicking!’

I draw in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Thanks for the advice, I retort sarcastically.

Jinx just chuckles again, her amusement doing nothing to calm my nerves. ‘Don’t worry, you’ll figure it

out.”

‘I hope so because right now, I’m acting like a love-struck teenager. I can’t even look at him without

feeling as if I might fa from a heart attack…”
