Chapter 101

I debate carrying the books back to my room. Given that I broke the door handle, there isn’t a way for

me to close and lock it for privacy. Not that a locked door is all that much of a deterrent. A wolf could

easily break one down-as Aaron has done on more than one occasion-and if I could break in….

Yeah, the locked door probably isn’t stopping anybody.

My best bet is to grab whatever information is available and

then return to my room or to have Adam transfer the security.

information to the lab to me.

I make a mental note to require him to do just that.

As Alpha, there shouldn’t be a single inch of territory on these

lands that is denied to me.

I grab the first book and flip through the pages. It’s Hemingway. And one of my father’s favorites. I hold

Happy 13th Birthday Leah.

It’s the same with the next book, a collection of poems by Walt

Whitmann.

Happy 14th Birthday Leah.

And the one after that. And after that.

Ten letters drop to the ground. One for each year I’ve been pledged to Aaron Rathborn.

But it’s the last book on the shelf. The one set alone that grabs.

one is a children’s book. The Giving Tree.

There is no envelope inside. Just a hastily written letter that is folded haphazardly.

I’m pretty sure this is the last note my father had ever written.

It’s his deathnote to me.

Something falls out of the folded paper and my hands shake as I reach for the lock of light brown hair

that’s tied with a pink. bow. It’s mine. From when I was a baby. My mother had kept this in an old photo

album with handprints and footprints and a slew of pictures taken of me up until about age three.

slide them into the waistband of my pants and pull my blouse over to cover them. I want to rush back to

my room, slam the door and read each word my father left for me.

But that could take hours and I’m not the most stoic of individuals. Chances are I’ll be bawling my eyes

out the minute I open one of these.

And like it or not, there are a couple hundred wolves here.

His brows draw together.

“I’m fine,” I tell him.

He nods and doesn’t ask questions.

Liam is leaning against the opposite bannister. “There are a few other wolves I’d like to introduce you

to,” he says.

“Of course,” I reply.

But then there is some commotion at the front of the great

hall and we freeze.

Karolina. Tobin.

The Elder Samsen.

The Elder Petyr.

Oh my goodness, I don’t think Elder Aleksei has made an appearance in years.

And they are all here. On Pack Roberts lands.

Presumably to see me.

“F**k,” Aaron mutters.

My thoughts exactly.
