“That’s a lot,” I told her. 

She nodded. 

“A lot has happened in the 12 hours you’ve been here.” 

“13 hours?!” I gasped. “I’ve been here for that long?? What about the battle that took place in the Redmoon pack? What about my father? My mother? Is everyone okay?? How had I not known its been that long?!” 

“Yes, you fell asleep, and I didn’t want to wake you. The Moonshade took a lot out of you. I did a ton more testing and cleared up your system. I kept monitoring you and your baby for the last several hours. Gavin insisted on seeing you earlier, so I allowed him entry… not that I could stop him. He spent a bit of time with you while you slept, and he was here when all your results came back. That’s when he rounded up the hospital staff and sent them way to be questioned. Now he’s dealing with the Levi thing with Taylor and will be back later. I told him that you’d need time to rest and recover before you have visitors. As for your mother … she’s fine. She’s with your father, and he’s doing much better. He had to have surgery to remove a hidden bullet, but he survived and now he’s recovering quickly. The battle had been won.. most rogues died, some fled. The remaining rogues have been rounded up for questioning.” 3 

This was so much information that my head was rattling. I had missed so much; I couldn’t believe that Gavin was in this room, and I was asleep the entire time. Tears filled my eyes; I missed him so much. Knowing that it’s been over 12 hours since I last saw him… my heart ached, and my wolf whimpered. 

Seeing the sad look on my face, Eliza put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a gentle squeeze. 

“He’ll be back soon, and once he returns, he’s not going to let you out of his sight again,” she assured me. “You have nothing to worry about. Just get some more rest for both you and your baby.” 

I nodded, trying to relax, but my mind was whirling. 

“Eliza…” I said before she could leave. She paused and turned to look at me. “Thank you.” 

Third Person POV 

Alpha Levi paced back and forth in his office, fury rolling off him in waves. Beta Ron stepped into his office, his face drained of color. 

“How are they all not dead yet??” Levi growled. “Did someone tip them off that the rogues were coming with weapons??” 

He was confused because he had spent so long hacking into their system and shutting down their security. He knew that they had all gathered in the Redmoon pack for some party, and that was the perfect opportunity to eliminate two packs at once. 

“No, but we seemed to have underestimated Gavin’s strength… even without the Moon Gem,” Ron said, shaking his head. “He doesn’t even have his full strength, and yet he still managed to bear the rogues… weapons and all. This wasn’t enough to eliminate him or his packmates.” 

Levi growled furiously. His plans were starting to crumble around him. At least a part of his plans were. The rest were still unfolding, and the thought sent a thrill through Levi’s body. He needed to brush off the fact that some of his plans had failed and focus on his future plans. 2 

He now had the information he needed to grow his own empire. The data had been transferred. Soon, he would be able to transfer all of Gavin’s funding into his own account and have the money to expand his empire as well. The only thing left was the Moon Gem. He convinced Daisy Baldwin to steal the Moon Gem from Donna Landry and auction it off. 

Of course, it cost him a pretty penny along with a favor that Levi was glad to oblige. 

He was going to use Gavin’s funding, the one that he stole, to purchase the gem. He knew that Gavin would get word that the gem was being auctioned and that he’d try to get it back. Levi was looking forward to humiliating Gavin… he was planning on draining, Gavin’s accounts entirely so he wouldn’t be able to afford the gem. Once Levi got the gem and embarrassed Gavin in
