The Queen was gone a handful of days. How the fuck did she acquire all of this in just five days? I check each trunk and bag that's being loaded for the twins' safety. The last thing I need is for something in here to explode. How would I even explain that to Jordan?

I hold up my special magnetic gloves for Alegra. She snatches them from my hand and I brace them around her wrists with my thumbprint once she's slipped them on. "What the fuck is this?" she asks.

"Well, believe it or not. You are not the first homie I am sent to hunt," I open the passenger door for her and shut the door once she's secured. I go around staring back at Archibald. I want to fan girl, but I have to keep this professional. This is a mission. "If you in any way act up. I press this," I hold up the keychain I hung on my bracelet. "Those magnets will do anything in their power to stick to one another,"

"Let me see," she holds her hands. I press the button. She gasps when they slam shut. "That is fucking cool,"

"Thanks. I actually made them for the Rogue King. If your son lets me, I'll put a base on the bumper of all our cars. I call that the drive-thru sequence," I release them and she sits back.

"You're a menace," she laughs and reaches to hug me.

"You're in a lot of trouble," I say when she sits back to put her seatbelt on.

The twins drive up ahead when I give them a thumbs up. We drew a crowd. The neighbors are all making sure their rich buddy is all right. I don't see any phones but who's to say they didn't catch me on camera?

"How did you find me?" she asks calmly.

"I didn't. You led me to you. Although, I called it from the get go. You're predictable,"

"Fuck you," she huffs. "What do you mean I led you to me?"

"I was in your parent's house when you called them. I had just uploaded some spyware into their mainframe. Maybe tell them that it's not a good idea to do everything from inside their very un-secure study and that their pack grounds are wide open," "Who would attack Lycans?" she scoffs.

"Everyone. Literally everyone. Especially now that the King is going public," I glare at her.

"Why did you come in this thing?" she asks annoyed. After I went out of my way to make her comfortable despite her position.

"I actually just got it back. The King sold it to Alpha Knightly Senior for the collar he had put on me. He let me have it,"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alpha Knightly? The biggest asshole on the West Coast?"

"His dad. He lived right down the block from you for the past four or five days," I correct.

"I thought that sadist was dead," she says gently. "You know, they're very mortal positive on that side of the states,"

"I know. They control the media and news. They also make it very difficult for humans to travel and when they do, a wolf is always with them. Poor suckers don't know they're slaves,"

"The perfect utopia. So, care to explain how the fuck you're still alive?"

"Beats me. I'm one of you things now," I release my claws. "Hey, worked this time,"

"Because you're in a good mood," she smiles. "That's all this is. The more accepting you are of your natural instincts. The better you function as a Lycan,"

"Thanks for the tip. Your son forced me to shift,"

"That's how we did it with him," she says as if it's not a big deal.

It bothers me and for a moment, I consider using the dart in the side pocket of my cargos. Just for a fleeting moment. Keep your hands busy, Perry. One hand on the steering wheel the other one shifter. No room to shoot her with a sleepy time dart. However, getting her after James was treated with the same courtesy would be satisfying.

"What you did to Jo and James was fucked up," I say after a long pause.

"I don't expect you to understand," she crosses her arms over her chest.

"No, I get it. I don't agree with you giving them both what they wanted, but your best option would have been not letting either have her. It's a lesson we're taught young where I'm from,

"I know that," she growls lowly. "And so did their father,"

"Jonas would have known what she did when the baby was born. What do you think Jonas would have done then?"

"Jonas is a good man," she shrugs. "He would have handed her over baby and all. James still would have wanted to kill him for taking her in the first place,"

"There is a sharing option, I hear,"

"Jonas isn't the sharing type. James wouldn't have cared as long as Eve was happy,"

"Yeah, Jonas doesn't like when you touch his stuff. Learned that the hard way," I shake my head remembering the sound he made when I tried to take his water paints. She laughs. It's genuine. "You don't seem that upset,"

"I never was. I was more afraid of what he was going to do when I confirmed his suspicions. I blame you for that. He wasn't that vigilant before. He trusted everyone around him,"

"You're welcome. That's not a good quality for the King to have,"

"We thought you were dead. I'd never seen him so empty. Not even when Evangeline died. Is he alright?"

"No, he's not. Neither of us are. Annie is a vengeful mess. It looks like the council treaty is about to expire. And the alpha of Magique is about to return. It's been an eventful five days," I tighten my grip on the steering wheel. It's been a long first week on the job. James? Have you gone to see him?"

"Yeah, Anne's always been vicious. And James? Have

"And piss your son off more? No, thank you. He's hanging on by a thread. A very Perry strong thread, but he's moving forward with grace,"

"You're what? Half wolf, half lycan now?"

"No, I'm full-blooded Lycan. Oz has been running diagnostics since I started healing in my casket,"

"You turned?" she huffs humorously. "We have been trying for generations. What makes you so different?"

"Maybe because I was marked by a half lycan before. Maybe because it was your son's bite. We don't know, but here I am. Creepier than ever," Mon,

"And you're pelt? Is it gray like Jo's?" she asks. I shake my head. "Alpha then?"

"White," I hold my hair up to show her how much it's changed.

"White?" she turns her whole body to face me. "White?"

"White," I confirm.

"What?" she says under her breath with disbelief. "Does the council know?"

"No one knows. The funeral arrangements went on as planned. I've been held up in the castle with Jonas since visiting your parents. The villagers have been put on a no-post or gossip order. He wants to see who in the council will strike first," "The vampire," she clears her throat. "He's going to get himself killed. That little hybrid bitch is going to take the covens by force. She scares me,"
