Esme
The sun began to fall in the sky as I paced Lucas’s office. I could feel his eyes following me silently as my own anxiety flooded him through our bond. If everything goes according to plan, this should be pretty simple, and give me a second chance at ending all of this with Ben. Nothing ever seems to go according to plan though. We need the witches to agree to this alliance, we need their numbers and it frustrates me. I spent most of my life training hard, knowing I would one day lead this pack and I never wanted to feel like I couldn’t protect them. Yet I have only brought them danger and I can’t protect them on my own. Putting the safety of my pack in the hands of a coven of witches that I haven’t even met is not doing anything to calm my nerves.
“Can you please come here?” Lucas
