Daniel

I was confused by his secrecy towards me. Knox never kept things from me since we were the same person. He was protective and possessive, but never secretive. I started to wonder about all the things he would keep from me.

My thoughts were interrupted by Gabbie's voice, "May I come in?"

I stared up at her, taking in the woman I had met so many years ago, "Of course."

I gestured to the seat across from me and we both sat down.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

She gave me a soft smile, "Better. How are you doing?"

"Tm fine," I answer automatically.

"Of course you are," she said, nodding her head but biting her lip as if to try and hold back what she wanted to say, "I would be too if I lost my mate. Oh wait, I have," she snapped.

"Gabbie-"

"Don't give me that bullshit Daniel," she scolded me, "I remember the first time I met you. It was the Christmas party you threw for your mate."

I smiled slightly at the memory of how happy my mate looked when she came down those stairs to see all of our family there to celebrate the holidays with us, "It was a great day," I breathed out.

"Yes it was," she said, "You were the happiest person I have ever seen. All it took was for you to look at her and you would instantly have a smile on your face."

"Things change," I said, my cold tone overshadowing all the memories she trying to make me think of.

"Yes they do," she says coldly. I was a bit confused over her sudden harshness, "Some things are just not fated."

"Why are you here?" I snapped at her, annoyed at the disrespect and hostility she started to show me without a just cause.

"I was told you would protect us. I needed to make sure Zea was safe?"

"Who is she?" I asked, wanting more information on the little girl my wolf was begging me to protect as if she was our own.

"She is my niece," Gabbie said quickly, but I caught a bit of hesitation as her voice quivered in the slightest way that I almost thought I had imagined it.

"Why is it I don't believe you?" I questioned her abruptly.

"Believe what you want," she said coldly, "What have you found out about the rogues?"

I could tell she was trying to change the subject, but I went along with it for now. I knew I would get to the truth soon enough. She was sure to slip up and then I would know the answer I wanted, "I believe they had help from a warlock," I told her, handing her the book I got from Zea.

"Warlocks," she said. I watched her reaction closely. She seemed deep in thought over the possibility when something as if she was thinking seemed to dawn on her. The second she put together the pieces, fear struck her, "This is not good."

"Do you know which warlock is after your pack?" I questioned her.

She shook her head, "It isn't a warlock. He's a rogue and he isn't after my pack. He is after one person in particular and now he has her."

"Who?" I asked, confused on why a warlock would attack an entire pack only to get one lone she-wolf.

"Once he finds out it is her, he will kill her," she rambled as she started pacing.

I walked over to her, placing my hands on her shoulders causing her to stop her pacing, "Who? Who is the rogue after?"

She gave me a sullen look before answering, "Zea's mother."
