1 scoffed when | turned away from the door and walked back to my bed. "What did he just say?" Rowan asked
again.
"He said that he wanted to be withand dating and fucking my sister was a mistake. The romantic of the year
here," 1 plopped down on my bed and steered the conversation back to the problem at hand. “Anyway, | think |
know why the attacks amped up.
"We are going to revisit this declaration of this boy. But why?" | could hear him settled back into a chair. He must
have stood up at spoint.
"Because the shaman and his newly awakened daughter, just fled to my father's pack.” | whispered it. | knew my
magic was still in effect because | could feel it, but | still felt the need to whisper it.
| could hear the groan of wood on his end of the call. "Please tellyou are lying."
"I wish I could."
"The shaman had a child?"
"A five-year-old daughter." | bit my lip.
"She's too young." His voice held disbelief.

"Yet, | held her as she had her first vision before | left Vince's pack. | sent them to
my grandmother's cabin on the cliff. The one that is connected to the pack lands
by a magical bridge under the gazebo." | don't know why | was telling him everything. | barely knew the man.
He is our king. Nix's voice was matter of fact.
He will help us protect her. Megan's voice was soft but firm Even she believed in Rowan.
"Why are you tellingthis?" His voice was soft.
"Because, my best friend calledtoday to say my dad was hurt, but his last word before he passed out was
gazebo. She doesn't understand what it means, but knew | would. Who ever is behind these attacks knows she is
there. And | need your help to protect her."
"Why me?"
"Because you are the only one | trust. | can't leave school. | have too much to learn."
"You can leave and cback next year, or after everything is done."
"| can't. My dad needs me="
"To do what?" Rowan adjusted himself and his chair squeezed. "Tellwhat you are planning and | will do
everything | can to help."
| hesitated, but something in my gut toldto trust him. "My father askedto learn how to hack as | was
coming back. He has a feeling Vince is involved in the attacks now, and back when your father was killed." |
heard Rowan inhale. "He isn't one hundred percent sure, which is why he hasn't brought it up to you, but he
thinks Vince is a key player. He has tried to hack Oakenfangs servers but the security facing out is too strong,
but he thinks the security within...."
"He thinks you might get close because you are already behind certain firewalls."
"Exactly." | huffed out a breath. "I could even get closer if used Brandon. I've been putting off dealing with him

There was a growl on the other side of the phone. "No."
"Rowan, you know it will work."
"I said no." His words were final.
"Whatever. That is far off. | am just learning the basics in class right now."
"That's why you took computer science?"
"Yeah, | figured it would teachcomputer languages, security systerns and the best way to set them up. Then
| could learn how best to get around them on my own." Rowan chuckled..
"You are incredibly smart."

"Thank you.
"But that won't work."
"What?"
"Sorry, what | mean is, it would take too much time." He clicked a few keys on his side. "I'm at the university
Monday and Fridays for class. After we can spend another hour or so going into hacking." 1
"You know how to hack?"
The smile in his voice was back. "Yeah. Like | said, this is my hobby." He clicked a few more times. "I hack into
human built systems for a source of incfor the council. It's all legitimate, but it's fun and easy money."
"So you will teach me?"

and second gamma."
"You have a pack?"
"Sort of." He was avoiding the question. But | wouldn't pry His life wasn't my concern. | heard a door open. need
a contingent of soldiers to be stationed at the Silvermoon pack. | want it to fly under the radar and it can't be

"The shaman and his child are hidden in the pack and need protection."
