The line started moving and I could feel myself growing extremely anxious. Everyone was watching, everyone would see. "Name?" The doctor asked me. My heart was racing, "Lia Deliz." "Put your arm in the machine," she instructed and I slowly inserted my right arm. Please don't do this. Please don't work. My worst nightmare was happening in slow motion and I couldn't do anything to stop it. Relieved that I wouldn't be the only werewolf out of the closet, I turned around and met Roan's eyes. "See you on the other side," He didn't say anything or give me any reassuring gesture. "Miss Deliz?" The doctor questioned and I nodded, anxiously awaiting my results, "Positive."

"How did you find this place?" Zia asked the King, speaking for the first time since entering the tent. "I've been searching for the location of your Headquarters for months- years, really." Donathan admitted. "We only found it when we got wind that two new recruits would be coming here today. My men tailed them here this morning and sent for me as soon as they were certain of the location." The tent was silent. Finally Arch said thoughtfully, "You say you come to negotiate?" The King nodded. "Very well, then," Arch said, "I will oblige. If I do answer your plea, can I insure that this camp and all those who live in it will remain protected and untouched?" Donathan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe you can." "And," he went on, "can I trust that this place will remain secret to the outside world?" "My men are sworn into secrecy," the King assured him. Arch fell silent once again. This quiet seemed to last longer than all the others. Zia wanted to know what he would say, and His Highness and Jay appeared to be in the same boat. "Very well, then," Arch said, stretching forth his hand for the King to shake. "When shall we sort out the details?" Cover made by the incredibly talented @italychick
