Chapter 67-1
We head upstairs and quickly eat breakfast with our families. Robbie had something urgent come up and no one really knew exactly what, but George offered to take us down to see the kid.
“He hasn’t said anything,” he tells us as we walk down the stairs towards the dungeon. “I don’t know if he’s being difficult, or if he’s just scared. Rob wanted me to tell you that he had dinner and
breakfast, though.”
I can’t help but smile at this. I haven’t talked to my brother, but he always knows what to say to
make me feel better, even when he can’t be there. We approach the cell that the boy is in and I get
a good look at him now. He really is just a kid. I’d be shocked if he were even 12 years old.
There’s no way he’s even shifted yet.
“Hi,” I say to him and he looks up at me. “I’m Molly. My Brother is the Alpha of this pack. Can you
tell me your name?”
The kid never breaks eye contact with me, but he doesn’t say anything. “You’re safe here,” I hear Seth say. “No one is going to hurt you, but we need to know why you were in the Lunar Falls
territory.”
“You’re related to Alpha Benjamin,” he says to me.
Alpha? Hearing him call Benjamin that throws me, but I decide to go with it. “I am. And who are
you?”
“Stevie,” he says, still not giving us any useful information.
“Hi, Stevie. Can you please tell us why you were here?” I ask him. He still hasn’t looked away from
me as he continues to stare at my eyes.
“You have the same eyes as him,” he tells me.
I smile at him, as kindly as I can. “I know. It runs in the family. Stevie, I really need you to tell me
why you were in the woods here. I want to help you.”
“I got lost,” he says, finally looking away from me. “I didn’t mean to come into the territory here. I know it’s off limits. I couldn’t figure out how to get home, though, and then you found me. I tried to
hide, but that tree fell.”
He’s lying. I hear Sage tell me.
I agree. I don’t think that’s the truth at all.
“We’d like to get you back home, Stevie. Do you live near Benjamin?” I ask him and he shakes his

blonde head. “Who sent you?”

“My older brothers are pack warriors. I don’t know what happened, but they told me to go into the forest and see if I could find out if there were any she-wolves missing here,” he tells him, tears finally spilling over. “They told me if I got caught that I was young enough that you would let me go and if not, I could ask for Molly and she would keep me safe.” he rushes to say and looks up at me.

“They were right,” I tell him and smile at him, bending down to his level at the bars of the cell. “No one is going to hurt you, but we need to know what’s going on. I need to know who your parents are so we can get you home.”
“My dad is named Alex. He’s Benjamin’s Beta,” he says and starts to cry even more. “Please don’t tell him! He doesn’t know I’m here and I’ll get into so much trouble.”
I smile at him. He’s Alex’s son, Alex, who always worried about me and kept me safe. “I have to tell
him, but it’s OK. He won’t be too hard on you, I’m sure.”
“He’s going to kill me,” he says.
“I doubt that,” I tell him gently. “One time when I was little I ran into the woods. Some bad things
happened and my dad was furious, but your dad carried me home and wouldn’t let my dad yell at
me.”
“That doesn’t sound like him,” he says and looks up at me.
I just smile at his words. “It’s been a long time. I didn’t realize it at first, but I can recognize his
scent now. It’s definitely the same Alex.”
“Princess Molly,” Seth says, interrupting us. “Why don’t you try to link this Alex and arrange a
meeting at the line. I’m sure your dad and brother will be able to pull away and go with us.”
“Yeah, just give me a moment,” I tell him and stand, walking back away from them.
What if I mess up like last time?
You won’t, but if you can’t reach him, we’ll just cross the line like you had originally planned.
I reach into my mind, searching for Alex. There are so many different wolves and it’s hard to figure
out how to look for someone, but finally, I find him. I crack open the mental box and try to reach
him.
Alex?
Molly? Is there something you need? I’m sorry, I must be quick. One of my sons has gone missing.
I have Stevie here. The Prince and I found him in the woods last night, but he wouldn’t talk to anyone until this morning.
What does the King want for him?
Nothing. The King isn’t even involved. Alpha Robert is letting me handle this, but there is something I

“His brothers sent him in to look for information,” Seth says to Robbie. “It seems the Rogues may have had some she-wolves go missing. They were trying to see if any were missing from Lunar
Falls.”
“Interesting,” Robbie says. “Most of their border touches ours. They must think they’re coming
through here to get to them.”
“You should also know,” I begin, looking at Robbie, but also my dad. “The way that Stevie was
speaking, they’re a fully formed pack. He’s Alex’s son, and referred to him as Alpha Benjamin’s
Beta. I asked Alex if the warriors would remain and he said yes, indicating there’s a hierarchy.”
“The kid also said Benjamin lives outside of it, but most of them live in a cluster together,” Seth
adds. “We’re going to go change but will you catch my dad up on the developments?”
“Of course,” my dad says.
“We’re meeting them at the line before the clearing on the northern border in an hour,” I tell them
and dad nods to me. “If we weren’t so dressed up, we wouldn’t have to change clothes before we
leave, but here we are.”
Seth smirks at me. “Yes, here we are. Well dressed royals.” He says with a roll of his eyes. He
takes my hand and leads me around and down the stairs to my suite. Opening the door to let me in, he gently slaps my ass as I pass him.
“Hey!” I say to him with a giggle. “What was that for?”
“That was for giving me shit in front of others,” he says, holding his head up high, trying to suppress
a grin.
I giggle at him. “You’re just mad because it was Robbie, and he’d do the same.”
“Go change,” he tells me and swats my ass again, though this time a little bit harder. I poke
through the bags on my bed and find some new black jeans and leave the same top on. I go grab
my hiking boots and put them on and begin my search for a jacket in the bags. Seth must have realized that because he holds up a jacket before I get too deep into my search and tosses it to
“Thanks,” I tell him with a smile and walk to the dresser to pull out a knit hat for this chilly day.
“Feel better with the new clothes?” he asks and I nod.
“It’s nice to comfortably sit down again,” I tell him with a small laugh. “I’ll be honest, I’m not thrilled about being bigger, but the fact that you’re enormous really helps.”
“I’m glad I could be of use,” he tells me with a smile, grabbing my hips and pulling me to him. You’re perfect. You know that, right?”

“I’m not perfect,” I tell him quietly.
“You are though,” he says and kisses me deeply. “You are absolutely, fucking perfect.”
I grab hold of his shirt, inhaling his scent deeply. “We need to take the kid home. We can’t be late.”
“I know,” he says, but makes no effort to move, making me be the one to break our contact. I run to the closet and grab an old fleece jacket that doesn’t fit me any longer. Seth looks at me and
cocks an eyebrow in question.
“He didn’t have a jacket,” I tell him with a shrug and he smiles at me, reaching out for me to take his
hand.
We head back and reach the entrance of the dungeon where my dad, Robbie, Albert and now a
handcuffed Stevie are waiting.
“Here ya go,” I say to Stevie, holding out the jacket for him.
“Thank you,” he says. Albert uncuffs him so that he can put it on, but I reach out and take the cuffs
from him before he can put them back on him.
“He won’t need them, will you, Stevie?” I ask him.
He shakes his head at me. “No ma’am. I’ll be good.”
