BACK FROM THE DEAD

XADEN'S POV

"How would you like to deal with Bale?" Damian asked as Xaden picked up his quill and dipped it into the ink.

Xaden pressed his brows on his forehead. "I have chosen not to deal with it. I will simply let it go until the new moon. There is much on my plate."

"The Rogue packs are beginning to get heated." Olsen said.

He was the lead commander in the outside watch of their packs.

"We have lost over four more villages." Olsen said. "All burned down and destroyed. No one was left alive."

Xaden was being confronted with all the things that had been left behind during the halo festival.

They had been so consumed by the ongoing festival that pressing matters had had to be suppressed.

Now that it was done for, he has a full plate.

Xaden laced his fingers together. "Where is Erik?"

The men looked to themselves and another wolf said. "He still has refused to attend meetings. I believe he is back in his quarters".
