CHAPTER 18

  Elizabeth's Point Of View

  "Yes, really." He grins at me. "You're the only werewolf who can blackmail her Alpha, Luna and Alpha-to-be to do what you want to. You're the only omega who can look a higher rank in the eye. You're the only one who's reckless enough to sneak into the Crescent moon ball. You can do this, I know you can."

  Tears brim in my eyes and I sniffle, offering him a wobbly smile.

  "You amazing moron!" I throw my arms around his neck. "You're the best buddy I could ever ask for!"

  Cleo laughs as he hugs me back.? "Elizabeth, are you crying?"

  "I'm not crying!" I defend myself. "My eyes are sweating!"

  I pull away and wipe my eye-sweat before giving him the classic Elise-got-this smile. Cleo leaves me in my room. Now that the ceremony is over, everyone has to go back to Minneapolis.
