Zane

The room went so quiet I swore I could hear the sound Xander’s eyeballs made when he blinked.

His growl broke the silence, rising up and up, nearly into a roar that was suddenly cut off as quickly as

if he’d clapped a hand over his mouth. Lanie stood from the table.

“Shh,” she said. “I love you, Xander, but in this, you cannot fight me.”

He fell back into his chair, slumped in defeat. He shook his head in amazement, then broke into a wide,

proud grin. “My Luna. Goddess help us all, Lanie, you’ve got so much power.”

“More than I’ve ever seen,” his mother murmured in admiration, but I caught a hint of worry flash o face

of this was taking out of Lanie, and the last thing I wanted to do was pile on any more worries for her.

I shot a covert glance at Mason to see how he’d react. After all, the only reason he’d met Lanie was

because she’d been living as Katie. Even though the four of us were slowly finding ways to make all of

Lanie shook her head. “I understand, but we won’t have to worry about that. It’s a small, targeted

memory loss, only in place during the time the potion is active. It protects you, but it will wear off when

does.”

“You’re sure?” Mason asked.

“I’m as sure of this as I can be. It won’t undo any major memories, but Zane won’t be able to recall that

he took something to make him sterile. Also temporarily,” Lanie added firmly.

“If I can’t remember that I won’t be able to make her pregnant, how can we be sure I won’t back out at

the last minute?” I posed this question, not because I believed I’d dishonor our pack with such

cowardice, but because…well, because all of this was f ucked up, and I wanted to cover all my bases.

“If you were going to do that, then we wouldn’t have to do all of this other sh it,” Xander said. “Frankly,

I’d rather have you risk breaking that binding spell than taking this wolvesbane b ulls hit.”

When Lanie gave him a long, significant look, Xander held up his hands and looked chastened.

“But if our Luna says this is the best option, then that’s what we’ll do,” he said.

Mason rocked his chair back on two legs. “Why the aphrodisiac?”

“We want her to believe he’s enthusiastic, even if we all know he’s not going to be. Zane’s mated to

She cleared her throat and gave us all an honest, vulnerable look. I wanted to gather her into my arms.

“If I know that he has no real choice, that he almost can’t help himself…” Her voice trembled and

He let his lips rest against her skin. “I get it. I feel the same way. If it’s something he can’t really control,

“A betrayal,” I finished for them, my own voice rough and cracking.

Xander put his other arm around me. “We both know you’re not betraying us.”

“The more eager you are for her, the more she’ll believe it’s real,” Lanie said. “She’ll agree to your te

A ping came from Lanie’s phone. She pulled it out, tapped the screen and studied it for a few seconds.

“It’s time to pick up the wolvesbane.”
