Sarula My heart was pounding when I received a message from an unknown number: "I want you to gather information about the upcoming gatherings the queen will attend." I didn't know who the message came from, so I immediately told Storm. She was happy to provide me with a detailed schedule of fake appearances, and I rolled my eyes. It was too stressful to try to deceive my sire. He was a powerful elder, and I was sure he would cross-check the information I had provided. I asked Stormee to mix a couple of real meetings to make this entire thing more believable, and she agreed. It was like playing the cat and mouse with a very dangerous predator. I wouldn't say I liked it, but I knew we had no choice. Adding to all this stress, another situation had my head reeling and my heart beating
