15 Chapter 15: History

Elizabeth spent the whole night watching over the sleeping Luna. She wanted to be sure Selene was free from the moon’s grip. And when the sun rose, the Luna rose with it, waking properly.

James had stayed by her side the entire night, even though Elizabeth had begged him to go sleep. He told her he could stay awake one more night without any harm, but he couldn’t leave their only pack healer unattended and without protection in a foreign pack.

Kenneth had agreed with him, and tried to stay as well, but he had been awake the entire day before, and most of the previous night. Kenneth didn’t have an Alpha’s strength, so James had given him an order to sleep.

The wolf had pouted and snarled, but an Alpha’s Edict couldn’t be disobeyed. And in the most blatant and daring display of breaking the Edict but still technically following it, Kenneth had shifted in his wolf form inside the sleeping Luna’s tent, and curled up around Elizabeth’s chair and gone to sleep.
