Cindy clicked her tongue. "Ah...it's nothing too big. Just some pack problems," she said. It was obvious, however, that she was fibbing. She, just like me, was a horrible liar.
"Is that so?" I asked, smirking.
Cindy pouted. "Maybe not..." she decided.
I laughed, then quickly regretted it, another wash of pain spreading through my back. I grimaced. "Why? What's happening?"
Cindy looked away, shoving another spoonful towards me. "I shouldn't say..."
"Please? I am the Luna, after all. Shouldn't I know?"
Cindy growled. "I hate when you use that card on me."
I grinned. "So...?"
Cindy chewed her lip. "Dhoom...he's declared war for the throne..."
"What?! Why?" I blurted. I nearly spilled my food; I was so shocked. Already? What was it that Dhoom wants so desperately?"
"He wants you to be his Queen. He wants your powers in his pup," a rough voice spoke from the doorway.
Lucien and Conner walked slowly into the room, both of them with hard eyes.
