My wolf was desperate to keep her eyes on him and ensure his safety, but I knew there was no way they’d let me leave here.
“I need to see Gavin…” I said, my voice raspy from consuming the gunpowder.
“Sorry, future Luna, but I have orders to keep you in the packhouse,” Derek said, looking a bit sheepish.
“Judy!” I heard my mother’s voice, and I felt relieved that she was okay.
She ran towards me, tears in her eyes, as she wrapped me in her arms. “It’s your father… he’s been injured.”
My heart shattered in an instant.
“What?” I gasped, looking at her through my own tear-filled eyes. “What do you mean ht’s hurt?”
“They are taking him to the hospital,” she cried. “He was shot. The bullets are laced with silver. They won’t let me go with him. They ordered that I stay here where it’s safe.”
My lip trembled as a sob escaped me.
“How bad was it? Where was he shot?” I asked, panic consuming me.
“In the stomach,” she replied, covering her mouth as she sobbed. “I don’t know what to do. This family had gone through so much. We can’t lose him.”
I hugged her tightly.
“Dad is strong. He’s endured so much. Something like this isn’t going to take him away from us,” I assured her.
“He was shot in the leg,” she sobbed, her entire body trembling. “I watched him go down as they pulled me away. I have no idea if he’s okay or not…”
“Your wolf would be able to feel it if he weren’t,” I assured her. “Trust your instincts. Your mate is strong. He’s come through.”
As much as I wanted to go out there and help with this battle, looking around, I knew there were things I needed to accomplish here. If I were going to be Gavin’s Luna, I would need to do the job of a Luna and keep everyone here safe so that they can fight the rogues without worry.
Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my nerves.
“That’s a good idea,” Nan said, cradling Emalyn in her arms; her eyes were blood shot and I knew, like the rest of everyone else, she was crying all. I realized at that moment that Chester wasn’t here.
