“I almost forgot,” Randy said. “You may want to speak with Professor Armand. He’s one of ours. He
may be able to help you make sense of some of Harry’s ramblings.’
”
“So he was involved,” Theomented. “Why are you just now telling us?”
Randy shrugged. “I didn’t get a chance before we had to send A away. He wouldn’t be much help
without her. He’s under the samemand I am.
”
“Oh, yeah, about that,” Theo pressed. “How does that work? I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
The three men exchanged looks.
“It’s
‘s a safeguard,” Cooper said. “One we actually learned from the Waar P*k. We use it to help protect our
undercover agents.”
“Okay,” Theo said, “but that doesn’t answer my question. How does it work? How can someone be
under themand of someone they haven’t met, and how can that be stronger than any other
Alpha’smand?”
“Not just anyone,” Cooper stated. “A. It’s not an easy or pretty process. We don’t use it on all of our
agents.”
“And if I wanted to use it with some of my people?” Theo asked. “For instance, myself. It would give me
some peace of mind to know I can’t be used against my mate.”

Iced my fingers in his, hearing the stress and fear in his voice.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to that, either,” Briggs said. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
“A could just issue themand herself,” Cooper said. “We can give you the wording. But it would
be safer than our process.”
“What do you mean safer?” I asked. “How was themand tied to me?”
“It’s on old ritual,” Randy finally said. “It came from the Onyxcrown archives. Apparently, one of your
ancestors developed the process.

Which would make sense since it requires a piece of you, so to speak.”
道
“Excuse me?” I said, the hair on my neck sticking up. “A piece of me?”
“Well, someone from your family,” Cooper rified. “Blood, hair, skin, whatever. Like I said, it’s not a
pleasant process.”
“And where did you find a piece of my family to perform this before?” I asked disgustedly.
Theo had tensed beside me. I knew he didn’t like this any more than I did.
“Your father,” Harden said, leaning forward to rest a hand on mine. “He gave it to us. He actually
confirmed its efficacy. I wouldn’t let him help us once he settled with the Greytooth Pack. We didn’t
want to lead the Waar P*k to him. But we did consult him a few times when we felt we had to. He gave
us his blood.”
“Oh,” I said. “What about the Waar P*k? You said you learned it from them?”
“As far as we know, they haven’t actually managed to sessfully use it,” Randy said. “ept for the
perhaps the highest ranking leaders.”

“But why use it?” I said. “It seems counterintuitive to bind yourself to themand of the family you
hate.
“To identify you would be my guess,” Randy pointed out. “You’re the only one that can release them.
They use it to expose you. We use it to protect you instead. We can’t be forced to reveal your identity
or anything that may lead them to you.
“But themand had been removed,” Theo said, concerned.
Randy shook his head. “Not entirely,” he said. “We didn’t know for sure, of course. Not even Jack knew
the extent of how the bindingmand worked. But I still can’t bepelled to speak about you with
anyone you haven’t allowed me to speak to. It was quite frustrating when I tried reporting to Alpha
Cooper. I had to tell Alpha Harden. The only reason I can talk freely now is because you’re in the
room.”
“I’d still like to know about the process,” Theo said. “This could be the difference between life and death
for A.
???????????
”
“You may not even need it,” Harden said. “Once you mark each other, you’ll be bound anyway.
“Do you think the same applies to Mina and me?” Briggs asked. “She is a direct descendant.”
Randy shrugged. “It could, I suppose. You may still need themand. from A to drive it home, but
you’d have the bond.”
”
“But there are others that I would like to offer the opportunity,” Theo said. “She’s going to need a guard
for a while.” Theo looked at me. “I know Jimmy would appreciate knowing he couldn’t bemanded
to betray you.”

Theo had told me that Jimmy had been beating himself up pretty badly over my attack. He had been
wracked with guilt since I was stabbed. And all the events that followed didn’t help. Theo said he even
tried to step down as his Ga**a. I didn’t want that to happen.
“Yeah, I think it would help,” I agreed. “What if you tell us how to do the process in case we need to use
it. But I’ll try to work on themand myself first. If that’s the safer option, I’d much rather use that
anyway.”
Cooper looked to Harden. “I can live with that,” he stated. “But only if you promise to have Randy or me
help you the first time IF you need it.”
“Or Professor Armand,” Randy indicated.
“I have no problem with that deal,” Theo said, reaching out to shake on it.
“Alright,” Alpha Harden said. “Unless there is anything else you think we need to address, I think it’s
time you guys got on the road. I have a private ne waiting to take you back to Greytooth territory.
You’ll be leaving from a private airport, so they’ll be ready by the time you get there.”
We all stood up. Theo shook each man’s hand again, thanking each of them genuinely. I did as well. I
didn’t want to think about where we would be if it wasn’t for their help. I didn’t think I could ever repay
them for their kindness and generosity. Toward me or my family.
