Hunted Hybrid Aegis War Saga 1 novel Chapter 44

Elowen POV

37

By some miracle, the day off had been mostly calm. No attacks, no magical disasters, no jealous alpha hole bickering. Just rest. Sweet, delicious rest. And now? I was done being scared. Fuck fear. Fear hadn’t saved me, power might. And I had a shit ton of it now.

We gathered in the great hall for the nightly pack dinner. The room buzzed with chatter and energy. There were long tables full of wolves laughing, flirting, and shoving food in their faces like they hadn’t eaten in a week. I sat between Daxon and Ash, my fingers laced through theirs under the table. Taya and Rylen were across from us, practically

glowing.

Alpha Draven stood and clapped his hands once, silencing the crowd. “Stormclaw Pack, and honored guests, we have

an announcement.”

Luna Aelira stepped beside him, a proud smile on her face. “One week after our travel party returns from Scotland,

we’ll be hosting a seven day event open to all unmated wolves from the five major packs.”

Gasps. Cheers. Whistles. Draven held up a hand. “There will be sparring events, training exchanges, moon market

trade booths, speed dating rounds..”

“..and on Friday night, a formal banquet and mate ball,” Aelira finished. “Any newly bonded fated mates will be honored in front of the whole pack. Saturday is for fun, mingling, and informal events. Then everyone returns to their packs on Sunday.”

Ash raised a brow. “Your what now?”

Aelira laughed softly. “Draven believes in options. We’ve booked you three luxury suites at a vetted bed and breakfast near Morrigan Lairch’s home. She’s agreed to see Elowen in person.”

“She won’t remove the spell unless she can see you face to face,” Draven added. “And we’ve beefed up the jet’s

security team. No one’s getting near you.”

I exhaled slowly. My heart thumped like a drum. Daxon’s hand slid up my back. “You okay?”

I nodded. “Yeah. I’m ready. I think I’ve been ready for a while. I just didn’t know it.”

Ash gave me a rare smile, and Rylen’s hand curled around Taya’s. We stood as a unit, our mismatched, chaotic, powerful little found family. Tomorrow we fly. And nothing would ever be the same again.

Later in our chambers……..
