Chapter 102-2
“You have cameras, don’t you? Has anyone reviewed the footage?”
Claim
“They’re being collected and sent to my office as we speak.” London inclined his head. “Would you
like to join me?”
Chasing down a monstrous creature? My pulse fluttered in anticipation, but this was not our pack or our land. I didn’t want to interfere, and I certainly didn’t want to get involved in anything else where people could die. “No. We are all supposed to be relaxing,” I said firmly. “And resting up for our journey home. If you need assistance, though, we’re here.”
“What? I totally want to help,” Finn argued.
“Oh, yeah. Really want to help,” Willa breathed.
“Then you should find Troy and make sure he’s okay with it.” I glanced around the group and frowned. There was someone missing. “Where is Saul?”
It was half an hour before I could get back to my phone and saw that Troy had gotten caught up at the security office and was reviewing the footage. I’m sure London was going to love that his guards just let another alpha take a look at secure feed, but Troy was persuasive, and camera monitoring was usually handed down to the youngest recruits because it was a boring job. I imagine London’s guards did the same, so this would be a big day for them.
Apparently it was a big day for Troy too. It seemed everyone was excited about the prospect of a giant wolf.
Maybe I was a little, too. Anything to take my mind off my mother.
And Troy. In. Love. With. Me.
I still wasn’t sure how to handle that. I’d never experienced love before. Parker, I think, loved me like a seriously gruff and emotionally stunted father, but romantic love?
Here I was, the woman who didn’t believe in happily ever after, impatiently waiting to go home so I could thoroughly explore mine.
Saul wasn’t in his room, and it smelled like he hadn’t been there all night. Concerned, I headed to the infirmary. A blonde woman, a few years older than myself, was sitting at the front desk scowling at the computer. She brightened when she saw me. “Hi! Do you need anything? A broken bone mended? Or maybe a tonic for your upset stomach?”
“Hi. Wow, you’re eager to heal, aren’t you?”

“It’s my first day being at the infirmary alone. Usually Eloise is overseeing things, but I feel like they really trust me now.” She practically vibrated in her chair. “Oh, but I promise I’m good. It’s not like, my first first day or anything. I completed all my coursework and training two years ago.”
“Good to know. I’m sure you’re doing a great job, but all my bones are in place, and my stomach is
just fine. I’m looking for Saul.”
The light dimmed in her eyes. “Oh. Yes. The Wolfspire pack healer. He’s been here all night. Do you know if they sent him to keep an eye on me?”
So, the majority of London’s pack didn’t know about Eloise or the serum. I wasn’t sure if that was good news or not. “No. He’s just doing a little research. The infirmary is all yours. Excuse me.”
I skirted through the infirmary to the lab. When I found it locked, I frowned and knocked. “Saul? It’s
Kiana. Let me in.”
When he didn’t answer, I pounded on the door. “Saul? Don’t make me break this door down!”
“I have a key,” the woman in the front said. “Somewhere. Give me just a second.”
It wasn’t necessary, because the door opened a second later, and Saul blinked at me bleary-eyed. ” Kiana? What are you doing here? It’s the middle of the night.”
“If it was the middle of the night, I’d be asking you what you’re doing here,” I said pointedly. “And I’m still going to be asking that since it’s nearly nine the next morning, and you haven’t been in your
room.”
Yawning, he rubbed his face and stepped back to let me in. “I’m sorry. I must have fallen asleep. I didn’t mean to worry you.”
“Something has you invested if you’re here all night, considering you’re always telling me to get more sleep,” I said lightly as I glanced at the computer screen. Nothing on it made sense to me.
“Well, you are always nearly getting yourself killed. Perhaps if you slept more, you’d make wiser
decisions.”
“Uh-huh. So, you’ve been missing out on a few things while you were sleeping. London thinks my mother is a witch.”
Saul cocked his head. “It’s not unheard of for a wolf and a witch to mate, although they only take on the characteristics of one parent, usually not both. You are an odd little thing.”
“Thanks for that. Troy told me he loved me.”
“Then I retract calling him an idiot earlier.”
Oh. “I think he’ll be glad to hear that. Also, about an hour ago, some weird enormous monster wolf

went rampaging through the territory before suddenly disappearing.”
Saul stilled, but I noted what was absent in his eyes.
Surprise.
Claim
“Yeah. I thought it probably had something to do with this formula. Please tell me that you haven’t been here all night, testing it on yourself.”
