A week passed faster than I expected. After everything was explained to my grandparents, they were more than happy to send me to the Miller's house. I think they were just happy I would be spending time with my mate. I slept in the guest room every night, as promised, but in return, Liam spent way too much time in there too. It was like pulling teeth getting him to leave my room when it was time for bed. Similarly, it was hard to get him to leave for school, too. But while he was away, I used the time to practice my magic in the backyard. I could tell that I was getting stronger. I also used my time to eat meat. I still wasn't comfortable enough to do it at the dinner table, but red meat was easier to eat now.

Finally, the day of the meeting arrived. I waited with Alpha Connor and his Beta at the conference table, the analog clock ticking away the seconds in the silence almost as if it were mocking me. Liam took Bella and Lily to the mall to stay away from the house. It was a few minutes before Luna Addie walked into the room trailed by Alpha Greg and his Beta. I had my mental barriers down to keep a read on the room.

So that's the girl, Alpha Greg thought as his eyes landed on me. Everyone greeted each other as I stayed quiet. Alpha Greg and his Beta sat on the opposite side of the table and waited as Luna Addie sat next to me.

"There's been talk around you pack that you're interested in my son's mate. Mind telling me why?" Alpha Connor asked getting straight to the point.

She took out an entire Alpha Family in wolf form, who wouldn't want her? Alpha Greg thought to himself.

"It was a mere curiosity. I heard she was deadly in wolf form. I was just curious as to the exact extent," he said instead.

"Although that's true. I can't control her, so it would be useless to you. You may be the one getting hurt instead," I spoke up. Alpha Greg just laughed.

"I've heard other things as well from the high school aged kids in my pack. Apparently your pack talks as well. I heard she was only in school for a few months before dropping out for specialized training. A close friend of my daughters' also mentioned her as the girl with unexplainable powers and moon kissed eyes. How special is this specialized training?" he admitted.

"We do not run her training so we wouldn't be able to answer that," Luna Addie spoke up.

So it's true that she's being trained by the Moon Goddess then, Alpha Greg thought excitedly.

"How interesting indeed," he said.

"Being that Daniella is my son's mate, I find your curiosity worrisome," Alpha Connor said, lacing his fingers together under his chin.

"Is that so? Your son must have saved a nation in a past life to be as lucky as to be mates with this girl," Alpha Greg jokes. He was the only one who laughed.

"We are allies, are we not? Meaning I would help you if you were in trouble at a moment's notice, no questions asked. I would appreciate it if you did the same. No questions asked," Alpha Connor said sternly getting to his point.

"And would Daniella be a useful weapon to you or against you?" Alpha Greg countered.

"The Alpha Family is my family too," I spoke up.

"But if you can't control your wolf, who's to say you won't hurt them again?" He countered.

"That's for us to worry about," I replied easily. He thought to himself for a moment, going back and forth between getting involved and not before he stood with a sigh.

"I understand. Regardless, it was nice finally meeting you face to face," he said offering his hand for me to shake. I stood and took his hand, forgetting that my barriers were currently down. My vision blurred before a vision of him leading an attack on the pack appeared before me. While everyone else was fighting, he only had thoughts of slaughtering the Alpha family and taking me as a prize and a prisoner. The vision disappeared, leaving a fog in its place. Alpha Greg was staring at my eyes with excitement in his own.

"How very interesting indeed," he smirked before he left, tailed by his Beta. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. After I heard his car drive away, I turned to Alpha Connor and Luna Addie.

"He saw my eyes. I forgot to put my barrier back, but I saw him. He's not going to let this go. He wants to kill everyone and take me as his own personal weapon," I explained. Alpha Connor stood before pinching the table. It cracked like a twig under his force.

"It's not your fault, Dani. Alpha Greg has always been somewhat greedy, and you're the equivalent of the Holy Grail to him," Luna Addie said, trying to make me feel better.

"What do we do? I can help some ways, but I can't save everyone if he goes through with his plan," I admitted.

"Don't worry, Dani. We'll be ready for him," Alpha Connor said, glaring at the door.

"Do you think it would be possible to keep this from Liam?" I asked. Luna Addie looked at me sympathetically before she shook her head.

"With extra training exercises for the warriors, a posted guard, and around the clock barrier patrols, he would be suspicious anyway. We're going to have to tell him, Dani," Luna Addie explained. I sighed and turned back to Alpha Connor.

"What about the alliance?" I asked him.

"For now, we'll pretend that we've let the issue go and get ready in secret. Also the kids can still interact, but that's just as to not cause any suspicion. He's expecting us to be completely unprepared, so we won't give him any reason to come at us any harder. If anyone outside of the warriors ask, we're beefing up boarder security due to rogues," Alpha Connor said, making his plans out loud. I nodded with a sigh.

Now to figure out how to tell Liam...
