Chapter Forty-seven - Deacon

Deacon stood outside The Wolf Inn, staring at the wooden door under the giant green awning, dreading the fact he needed to go inside to talk to Elias Grant, alpha of the Dark Moon Falls Pack, something Deacon knew he should have done when the chaos at Cheaters first happened. His avoiding the conversation didn’t mean he feared the alpha. On the contrary, Elias was a fair leader, ruling with a calm and gentle hand, forceful when he needed to be, of course, but with the way he did things, he rarely needed to be tough.

No, the reason Deacon had put off talking to Elias had to do with his own insecurities and desire to avoid facing a past he tried so hard to forget over the past ten years. Their first conversation had been short and quick, just informing the alpha Deacon was back in town. This conversation, however, brought trouble to Dark Moon Falls.
