“Ma!” I shouted.

I’d been almost hypnotized, watching my mother and my mate joining their hands. The voice that had

come out of my mother had reverberated through me, echoing like she’d shouted into a deep well even

though she’s barely raised it. As soon as she fell onto the table, though, I jumped up to help her.

Zane was on her other side, while Mason went to Lanie. She waved him off.

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” she said. “Is Gabriela okay?”

I helped my mother sit upright. Blood trickled from her nose, and her forehead had a bruise alrea

blooming on it. She blinked rapidly, eyelashes fluttering, and then her eyes popped wide open.

I’m fine,” she said, trying to wave me away.

I didn’t let her go. “You just face planted so hard I heard a crunch, Ma. You’re not fine.”

“Let me get some ice,” Zane said. He went to the freezer and started pulling out the ice cube trays to fill

plastic baggie.

My mother gingerly touched her nose and then her forehead, but she gave Lanie a huge grin. “You see

what a blessing you’ve been given, Lanie? I’d hoped, but didn’t want to say anything, in case I was

she hadn’t simply abandoned me, but I couldn’t be sure she was finally granting you the full and true

Luna gifts that rightfully belong to you now.”

Mason rubbed Lanie’s shoulders. “I thought Lanie already was the Luna. She’s mated to two Alphas,

right?”

“We take nothing for granted when it comes to the Goddess,” Gabriela said. She took the ice pack from

Zane with a grateful smile and pressed it to her forehead with a wince. “When Orion died and your

heard of happening before. I worried the Goddess wouldn’t bless the union, that she might deny Lanie

the full realm of her powers.”

“I’d have been the Luna in name,” Lanie added, “but I wouldn’t have been able to access all the Luna

gifts.

Gabriela would have kept some of them.”

“And lost some,” my mother added. “Certainly I’d have stepped down as Luna as far as running the

upon Lanie and the three of you. The Goddess has blessed her with her Luna intuition. That’s why I

“And I did find a solution,” Lanie put in.

good?”

“We’re both fine, my love,” Lanie said confidently and pushed a swell of light and comfort all around

me.

Mason bent to drop a kiss on the top of her head, then took his seat again. He poured us all fresh

glasses of wine and lifted his glass. “Cheers to our Luna.”

We toasted. As the warmth of the red wine ran down my throat, I looked around the table in wonder at

everything that had gone on. One thing after another, we’d all endured enough to rock us to our cores,

to drive us to our knees and lay us flat, but we all just kept getting up.

“Tell us what you figured out, Lanie,” Zane said.

She beamed. “Wolvesbane.”

Mason startled. “That’s a myth, isn’t it?”

“Apparently not…at least, the synthetic kind isn’t,” Lanie said. “It can be used to negate certain thing

you need to take it with specific other ingredients and in precise dose.”

“Negate what certain things?” I asked suspiciously.

“It can render both men and women temporarily or permanently infertile,” she said. “It can dissolve the

magic of binding spells… Basically, from what I could gather, wolvesbane works to tear things apart

than tie them together. So, anything that requires a joining of some kind can be prevented or

destroyed.”

Mason muttered out a low curse. “It’s extremely dangerous.”

“Very, very ancient,” my mother added. The ice cubes in her bag cra ckled against each other as she

set it on the table. I also thought it was nothing but a myth. You say someone has sy n th esized it?”

Lanie nodded. “Yes, and there are several different types. Some safer and more reliable than others.”

“None of them could be reliable or safe,” my mother countered in a thoughtful voice. “Using it would be

“I’ll do it,” Zane said. “Whatever it is. Just tell me how to get it and how to use it.”

Lanie looked stricken. “It will require a sacrifice, Zane. One I’m not sure I can ask you to make.”
