Declan’s eyes slowly opened and he looked from one sister to the other, forcing them into silence. He rose to his feet and looked down at his side and then at Desiree.
“Did you do this?” he asked.
“We both did,” Desiree explained, indicating Cara.
He looked at Cara with surprise and smiled. “Thank you.”
“My pleasure, alpha Blackstone.”
“It is time to return to the temple.”
They all turned towards the voice of the elder Liloway as she emerged towards them from the sidelines. “There is much to do and explain before the end of this new moon.”
Liloway led the three of them, the Sweetkane women, and Declan’s remaining crew into the temple which was completely illuminated by fire light coming from torches along the walls.
