Chapter 77


    “Well?! What do they do?” I’m pacing back and forth while keeping an eye on all exits. I’m deep in the


    forest in an unknown cabin, but that doesn’t mean people haven’t followed me. I look up, and the


    silence is bing unbearable. “I don’t have all day! It’s almost time.”


    To be clear, the Alpha ceremony is tomorrow. I have to be sure about these items before then. I have


    waited for an answer for days, and my patience is running out. This is the final piece to the puzzle. “You


    were given a bit of the wrong information.” I stop in my tracks.


    “What do you mean?” The witch sighs.


    “These were created for fated mates. If are in the same area, this keep their wolves from seeking the


    other out. The bond will be dampened so teh desire will be gone.” I swear that’s the same thing I told


    her in the first ce.


    “That’s what I told you.”


    “No.” She shakes her head. “ For one to wear this, they make their wolf almost indetectable to their


    mate. They won’t be felt through their bond if marked. If not marked, they aren’t able to detect the


    scent. The draw is not avable. When both mates wear these, they can be with others without


    allowing the betrayal to be felt.”


    “Felt by anyone marked, like a chosen?”


    “How is it that you know so little about your own kind? Fated mates are tied, down to their souls. When


    one is unfaithful, that pain is felt because of the souls being tied. A chosen is marked and they mate,


    but their souls are never tied together. How can they be when the bond wasn’t formed by your


    Goddess?”


    I feel a smile form on my face as I reach for my items. The witch pulls her hand back, causing a growl


    to escape my lips. “This is powerful dark magic, and it goes against your Goddess. You have to be


    aware of the problems you can cause using these.” I snatch the bag and ce it into my pocket.


    “I don’t need your advice. I know exactly what I’m doing. You just make sure you keep your mouth shut!


    You never saw me.” I run to the door and pop my head out to make sure the coast is clear. I run into


    the woods and head to my next destination. I have a few hours to finalize my ns.

    Our cars pull up to the packhouse, and my stomach is doing summersaults. I almost chickened out and


    had my dade for the Alpha ceremony on his own. Mom has been gone for a while, but dad was


    able to push through. He always said it was because he had me in his life.

    I came here to make some things right, not for my father. I have to be a better person. I’ve gone too


    long messing around and being self-centered. At least, that’s what I wanted people to see. I never


    showed my true self because I knew no one would ept me. Everyone has an idea of what the


    daughter of an Alpha is and how she acts. It was always easier to let them have those assumptions


    rather than try to get people to see me for who I really am.


    The car door opens, and my dad’s hand appears. I take it and walk with him to face Alpha Paul and


    Luna Kimberly. The look she is giving me is one of pure anger and disgust, but I can’t help that. She


    will just have to be mad. She shouldn’t be trying to interfere with her sons and their mate.


    “So d you two could join us. This time we should be able to see it through.” Alpha Paul and my


    father chuckle at that. I missed the first ceremony, but it sure was talked about by everyone. Luna


    Kimberly smiles at my dad, then turns to me.


    “Well, it’s nice to see you. I wasn’t aware you had left. What can you expect from someone-” Alpha


    Paul squeezes Luna Kimberly’s arm, and I try to hide myugh. Thankfully, my father had made it up


    the stairs to the door before she started. He’s speaking to the twins and their mate, and now it’s my


    turn.


    I nod to Alpha Paul and take a deep breath, taking the steps needed to face my fate. Standing in front


    of the trio feels like standing in front of the open freezer, and I can’t me them. “Uh…hi. Can….can I


    speak to you guys?” I can see Tia’s jaw clench, and Lincoln rolls his eyes.


    “Anything you need to say, do so now. Make it quick; we have others to wee.” Landon, straight to


    the point, and he isn’t wrong. I swallow the lump in my throat and send a quick prayer to the Moon


    Goddess.


    “I just want to apologize to you two for everything. I was wrong when you were on my territory and I


    was wrong when I was on yours. I had no right to push myself on you both.” Landon and Lincoln’s eyes


    are huge, and they look genuinely shocked. I turn to Tia and reach out, brushing my fingers along her


    arm. She looks at the spot I touched and then at my face. “I was beyond wrong and sorry doesn’t cover


    everything I put you through. I truly apologize and I’m happy that you found your fated mates. I don’t


    expect your forgiveness, but I am truly sorry.”


    Tia looks at me…..I mean, really looks at me. It’s like she’s trying to peer into my soul. I hold her gaze


    even though it’s extremely ufortable. “I don’t like you; you’ve given me no reason to.” I hold my


    breath and wait for what wille next. Tia sighs and steps toward me. She leans in close so that her


    mouth is at my ear. “Mark is at home. If you follow the path to your right, his house is the yellow door.


    You can’t miss it.” Tia walks back to her mates, and I’m floored. I never expected her to forgive me, but


    I also never expected her to point in Mark’s direction. I don’t deserve it, but I will dly take it.


    “If you all will excuse me.” I nod to the trio and turn to my right, determined to find the house with the


    yellow door.
