Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 323
Chapter 323
"Anyway, we will see you back at the pack. | know you said you were busy tonight, and we understand, but I'll
need you at the pack house first thing in the morning." I smiled and nodded as Vince turned away.
"Brandon...let's go." Brandon looked atand | wanted to gag. He was leaning in and | wanted to pull away, but
Vince called himn again. Thankfully. "Brandon."
He jolted back from me, gave a pained smile, then trotted after his father. Toya turned towith a grimace."
That was..."
"Illuminating." | nodded to the door. "Let's head out. We have a lot to do today." Toya sighed and turned on her
heels. We headed out the door to see Sterling loading the last of my bags.
"This is everything." He nodded to the truck as he swung up the tailgate. Then he turned to us and bowed at the
waist.
| grabbed for him, but he held up his hand. "Sterling." My voice was soft, but he bowed again.
"It has been an absolute pleasure serving you here, Amy." He stood and then bowed to Toya. "You as well." He
stood back up. "You both have proven toand my mate that not all alphas are assholes. Not everyone throws
their weight around just to feel like they have power, and | know Jora and | appreciate it." He bowed one final
time. "Thank you."

"Sterling." | grabbed his hands. "You are my friend. Please stop." His smile was wide as he pulledinto a hug.
"You have becfamily. Never forget that." | pulled back and looked up into his face. "Family." He said again
and | smiled back at him.
"I'll message you when I'm settled and we can set up a dinner."
"I'd like that." Then he releasedand then headed back inside.
Toya sighed. "I'm happy | got my hug yesterday."
| laughed. "You can go get one now."
She shook her head. "He's a male, and he is emotional. He feels like he is losing a part of his family. And he won't
want to be seen like that." She headed to the passenger door and hopped into the truck. "Let's go."
| hopped into the driver's seat. Then | sealed the truck. | knew she was going to askquestions. | pulled away
and she pivoted to face me. "So what the fuck is going on?"
| threw back my head and laughed. "What are you talking about?"
"Rowan and Verity." She tossed out. "You know she is using magic on him, but you haven't saved him."
| wiped my face. Right into the deep end. "Rowan is..." | struggled to find the words. "He has spent that last
twenty years being surrounded by people who have been working against him. I'm not stupid enough to believe
that Verity is the only wolf around him that has powers. If | cut her off, then | alert them | know. | have to play
this smart. So does he."
"You are worried." She could hear it in my voice.
She
| nodded. "Someone killed his father. Tried to kill ours. And he is the primary target. If we show our cards before
we know everything, then it's over. We need to take our tand wheedle out who is working against us, or else
Rowan..."
Toya slammed her back against the seat. "He's dead." | nodded. | wasn't too stupid to believe that they wouldn't
kill him instantly. "Then why did you saveand Micca?"

| tapped my fingers against the wheel. "That was a test."
Her face scrunched up in confusion. "A test?"
"I've been thinking about it." | pointed at her with my lips, while keeping my eyes on the road. "She used more
power hiding herself than actually attacking you." My eyes darted to hers. "She could have had you all turned on
to find a spell, or whatever that she could have used. The attack she corrupted is almost instant. She just had to
get past your defenses."
"The why didn't she?" 1
| switched lanes and debated my answer. "Because." | glanced at her. "That wasn't her main goal. Not really. She
used most of her power to hide who she really was and chipped away at you. Testing our bonds, my abilities, and
most importantly. My power."
Toya chewed at her lip. "She wanted to find out how powerful you were." She turned toand | hummed my
agreement.
"If she broke our bond, she would have been extremely happy. Two birds, one stone, but it was just about seeing
how strong | was. How observant | was. If | would catch the attack before it was too late. She used both her
sisters as decoys, thinking | would get past both."
"But you did," Toya pointed out.
| nodded. "And now she is being super vigilant. If | so much as glance at Rowan
the wrong way, then he's..." | turned into my driveway and sighed.
"He's fucked." Toya finished.
