# ust tell us. Anders.” She says quietly.

He pulls up a chair and sits in front of Calista, taking her hand as Clint reaches out and takes mine. wrapping his

arm around my shoulders.

“Luna Estella is dead.”

My stomach clenches, my whole body goes rigid and my eyes fill with burning tears as Clint’s arm tightens

around me. Calista’s free hand flies to her mouth. “Dead?” She whispers, blinking back her own

tears.

“I'm sorry love. | know all of you were close. I'm not sure | believe the story of what happened. It was a war, after

all. But you'll hear it, so it’s better that you hear it from me. They say they found her dead body in the arms of Eli

“How is Leander?”

“He’s alive, but barely. Leander’s Beta is watching over Liam. He knows he can call on us if he needs any

assistance.”

“Did we lose any warriors?” | ask. No one in our safe room lost a mate, or we would have known, but

there are multiple safe rooms.

“No. Having us join the fight tipped the scales. Many of Jerome’s pack members got away, so we'll have to be

extra careful, and I'll be doubling the patrols. Leander lost sof his pack members. Once they have their dead

ready to send to the Moon Goddess, I'll go back and stand in as Alpha if Leander isn't

capable.”

“Liam’s going to need you now, Anders.” | tell him.

“And I'll be there for him as much as | can be. He’s only six. For now, the biggest thing | can do is help keep his

pack from being taken from him.”

The Shadow Falls pack laid their dead to rest. Anders was there acting as Alpha, speaking over their dead and

attempting to calm the pack and support those that lost their mates.

wiped his tears from his face.

“Guardian Lily. | apologize. | know Alphas aren't supposed to cry.”

“Who told you that?” | ask him softly, helping him to wipe his eyes.

“My father.”

“Well how about we make this our little secret. | won't tell if you won't. And you can cry until you're done. What
