Chapter 110 Chapter 110


    A few dayster,


    "We could go back to the Mafia archive," Max suggested as we continued to walk, exasperated from


    the heat of the exposed countryside andpletely out of ideas of what to do about Milly. I can''t


    remember how we even ended up in this particrly dry sunflower field but the strong powdery aroma


    was irritating my nose and the thick itchy stalks were getting on myst nerve as we tried our best to

    wade through them.


    "We definitely couldn''t. Do you have a death wish?" I responded before letting out a huge sigh.


    "Hecate''s bloody amulet could be anywhere in the entire bloody world."


    "And we only have a limited amount of time before your psycho of a mate turns up and drags you back


    to America and leaves me in a bloody mess on the floor," Max added.


    "Unnecessarily morbid. Thanks, Maximus," I replied. "And he''s not a psycho. He''s just very overly


    protective of someone who doesn''t want nor need to be protected."


    "He is the definition of a psycho."


    "He is also the father of my children and my mate so can you shut the fuck up?" I hissed losing my


    temper with both him and the wretched sunflowers.


    "Sorry little miss angsty," he grumbled quietly. "What''s got your panties in a twist?"


    "You."


    A few secondster we finally reached the edge of the field and escaped the ws of the sunflowers. I


    looked up as I wiped the sweat from my brow toe face to face with a slender, tall woman. She was


    thin and bony but muscr and strong too. Her dead straight brte hair reached the end of her


    spine and her harsh piercing dark eyes remained fixated on the two of us. Her skin was smooth over


    the pointed features of her face and she wore a serious, motionless expression. I''d put her around forty


    give or take a few years.


    After far too long of standing ufortably under her re, her thin lips twitched upwards and she


    finally opened her mouth to speak.


    "Are you aware that you are on my territory?" she asked in a cold, authoritative tone.


    "Your territory?" Max questioned.


    "You are on thend of the Girasole pack. I am the Alpha of the said pack, therefore, this is my territory.


    What are you doing on it?"


    "You''re an Alpha? But you''re a-" Max began but she interrupted.


    "A woman. Yes, congrattions. A wonderous observation. To answer your next question: my mother


    failed to produce my father a male heir before dying, so here we are, a female Alpha. Do you have a


    problem with that?" she responded sharply.


    "No," Max replied quickly. "Not at all."


    "Good. Now I will ask once more, what are you doing on mynd?"


    "I''m sorry, Alpha. We were just passing through and we didn''t realise there was a pack here. we don''t


    even know where here is. We''ll be on our way," I replied walking back into the sunflowers and dragging


    Max with me as he stood still in awe of the concept of a female Alpha. Get over it man. My question is:


    how did we miss this pack on our search for the Hereditary?


    "Hold on," she said and I paused before turning back to her. "American?"


    I exchanged nervous nces with Max. I probably should have let Max do the speaking. He hardly has


    an American ent when he speaks Italian at all. Probably because, unlike me, he was brought up


    speaking it.


    "Yes," I replied after a slight hesitation. "We are here, in Italy, for family reasons."


    "Don''t bother lying to me. Every Alpha in the world is aware of your disappearance, E Loren," she


    said. "There''s a big reward for the one that returns you safely home to your mate."


    My face dropped as my heart rate raised.


    "Luckily for you, I have never been one for rewards. But I am curious, what is your real business here?"


    she asked.


    "We are looking for something," I began. "A kind of amulet. It is for my cousin, Max''s sister," I added


    gesturing towards Max. "And, crazy as it sounds, it is supposed to help her control her magical powers.


    Trouble is: we don''t have a clue where to even begin looking. It could be anywhere in the world and


    that''s if it still exists."


    "I believe that I know someone that can help you," she said her face softening slightly. "Come with me."


    She turned around and began to walk away from the sunflowers.


    To begin with I didn''t follow her and instead looked at Max for some kind of reassurance. Unfortunately,


    he seemed just as unsure as me.


    "You can rx, Luna. I will not be sharing your whereabouts with your mate. You clearly have


    something important to do," she said without even turning around.


    Max shrugged his shoulders and began to follow her.


    "What choice do we have?" he said to me quietly.
