Claire's POV
By late morning I'm out of the room and ready to go and take Lydia's place.
Whilst descending the stairs I see Logan and Lucas talking to a man by the entrance.
I can tell he's old by the graying of his hair.
They see me approaching them and they all turn to face me.
Curious, I greet them and pause for a while.
"You must be the future Luna." Says the man with a very charming smile.
The way he smiles quickly has me looking at Logan and my eyes widen a bit.
"Claire, this is the former beta of our pack, my dad." At that I stretch out my hand to him.
"Nice to meet you." I say.
Logan's dad shakes my hand gently and smiles again.
Clearly he likes smiling more than Logan.
"He is our representative on the council, him came to have a little talk and to know if Ethan is alright." I nod at Logan.
"I'm deeply sorry for what happened." Says Logan's dad.
"Thank you. It was very nice of you to stop by." I smile at him again.
"It's my pleasure Luna, and it will also be to see you at the next council meeting."
Council meeting?
He bows his head a bit and Lucas escorts him to his car.
"What council meeting was he talking about." I turn to Logan to satisfy my curiosity.
"Are you going to the hospital?" He asks looking at my choice of clothing.
I nod and he nods back.
"Let's talk in the car." He says and gestures for me to take the lead.

"At the previous council meeting we were discussing you." Logan says and I nod.
"They wanted to know what you are, and which pack you come from." I nod again.
"So you and Ethan told them I'm just a werewolf?" I ask and he nods.
"It was more of his idea. He doesn't want them coming after you." He speaks, not reaching my eyes.
"Anyway they asked about your pack and we told them. Turns out they didn't know you guys no longer associate with humans. It could have turned into a disaster."
"Umm, I'm sorry, what?" I look at Logan perplexed and he looks at me with the same expression.
"They wanted to know about your pack."
"No, the other part that we no longer associate with humans." I say curious to know what that is about.
"Yeah, the fact that we keep our identity a secret from the humans and your pack didn't was a problem but Ethan and I cleared it up."
I look at Logan more confused than ever. I'm totally missing something.
And I have to be careful here or I'll give myself away.
Obviously what he's saying is true because Ethan would never lie about something like this. Even Logan knows and all this leads to the fact that I missed something.
"Are you okay?" Logan brings me out of my thoughts and I nod.
"Yeah, I'm totally fine." I look out the window knowing very well than I'm not.
At least not until I call home to see for myself.
Oh Gosh, I'm going to hear another criticism.
"So why do they want me at the next meeting?"
"Well since your former pack now associates with witches they are thinking you could maybe call for some help, with the pack curse."
I nod at Logan's reply
Thankfully I left on a good terms with the witches.

We arrive at the hospital and Logan and I find our way to Ethan's room.
He's still unconscious but at least he's not on blood or using a breathing tube.
I escort Lydia out after thanking her then decide to make a phone call before returning.
I call my favorite brother of all times hoping he's not busy and knowing I won't hear a lot of criticism from him.
"Well if it isn't the prodigal daughter." Chris says and I feel like chuckling.
"Hey, I know I'm not the best sister of the year, but at least I'm trying."
"We'll try harder sis, because you suck." He exclaims and I suddenly hear a baby crying.
"And you made me wake him up." I chuckle as I hear some movements on the other side.
"How's everyone doing?"
"Oh, you know, the usual. Kate's gone for some Lunas' meeting and I'm here babysitting."
"You say it like it's a bad thing." I chuckle again.
"It's not, I love my life. But wait till you pop out some pups, then you'll know how I feel." He jokes laughing at the end.
"Hahaha, very funny" I say sarcastically.
"And how's my favorite nephew."
"He has been giving us some sleepless nights but he's fine. Wait tell you see Liam, he looks worst than I am." He chuckles and I laugh alongside him.
At this point it's just left with James to join the club.
"Anyway what's up? You never call unless it's extremely necessary."
"Hey, that's not true." I exclaim.
"Oh really, how's that half brother of yours doing?" I instantly frown.
"Lemme guess, you lost all contacts with him."
"It's complicated." I sigh.
"So how's the new pack? And how's Ethan doing." I sigh again.
"Is everything okay sis?" I pause for a moment.
"Yeah, everything is fine,..... actually everything isn't fine. Ethan is hurt and I just found out that Red Moon cut ties with the humans." I blurt out.
"What happened to Ethan?" Chris asks concerned.
"It's nothing serious, he's okay now." I assure him.
"Okay, and what do you mean you just found out that we cut ties with the humans?" I try not to sigh.
"So it's true?" I ask feeling a bit guilty.
"Yeah, we almost had another issue turn into something serious so I sat down with the elders and witches. We decided it was best they didn't know of our existence." I nod at his statement.
"So how's the pack holding up." He sighs.
"Well it isn't easy turning our lives around, but I'll say we are adapting pretty good."
I smile at his response.
"That's good to hear." I say.
"Yeah, you should come home one of these days, you'll see it for yourself, besides everyone misses you."
"Oh really." I chuckle.
"Yeah, especially James." We both laugh.
"Thanks Chris. It was nice talking to you for a change."
"No problem, your majesty." He says and I laugh.
Of course he found out.
"Extend my greetings to the others, especially Kate and James."
"Okay, and please try harder sis, especially towards mom and dad. They're basically scared to call you thinking they'll worry you."
I smile.
"Sure, bye."
I end the call then sigh.
I walk back to Ethan's room and when I reach the door I hear two people talking.
I gasp before opening the door wide to see Ethan awake.
