"Well that''s a sight to see!" Sierraughs at us and I can feel my cheeks re with embarrassment.


    Of course Dakota doesn''t let me up right away either, reveling in my difort like a true pain in the ass. "Get used to it Sweetness, this is your life now and I will take every opportunity to put my hands on you, no matter who''s in the vicinity." My eyes are wide in shock.


    "You wouldn''t dare?" I say it like a question, ''cause he wouldn''t possibly put me through that in front of pack members would he?


    "Try me." He growls in my ear.


    This time I put more force into him letting go of me. "Okay, we need to talk about the game n." I look right at Sierra who is trying and failing to notugh at me. "Shut up." I grumble as we walk towards the offices. "Did anyone get a chance to search the Alpha''s office for anything that can harm us?"


    "Yep, and we found plenty. Someone was really after your parents." Wyatt said, walking past us. "Elena and Gentry spent a lot of time here. They found the bundle in the desk, just like you talked about Midge. They also found some kind of crazy ass totem behind the family picture, that we think might have been Kaley based on how sloppy it was put together. So, they were clearly given directions on some things and went off the reservation on others. There was an extra barrier put on the windows and doors too, more than likely to keep Midge out and away, but that clearly had no effect on her. As far as we know, it''s clear. So Alpha Midge, let us know if your Spidey-senses go off."


    Iugh as we all file in and I look


    around the office. I haven''t been in here since that day. It looks exactly the same though. All dark panels


    and old wood. Like a mid centu

    everywhere. All handles and pulls are a yellow gold colored metal, some small decorative statues and bookends are the same.


    "We are going to have to do something about expanding this office with four of us. I don''t want Smalls in another room." Dakota kisses me on the temple.


    "There''s a lot of things we will probably need to adjust about the packhouse with our setup." Cam muses, firing up theputer. "Okay, so first things first. The pentagram. Is there anything else we need to do to it?"


    "No, Alpha Cameron. The four of you disced it and Elena and I have been working to get things together to reset it once the fire pit is in our control." Gentry steps up from the back of the group.


    "What do you mean in our control?" I ask her.


    "Since Kaley and her father were assumed to have set the fire under orders, the control of the fire should have gone to the ones who set it free, which would be the four of you. Naturally, we thought that maybe our troubles stemmed from you.

    you have returned we still cannot work with or manipte it in any way, meaning someone or


    something still has control over it or no one has control over it. And that is detrimental in either scenario. The fire is still trapped or bound to something, We need to release it before we can reset the pentagram to be beneficial for your pack."


    "Umm, I know we just rebuilt the thing, but should we burn down the Cunningham''s house for good measure? You know, just in case they have other voodoo stuff lying around I mean no one is going to
