Chapter 9
Michelle POV
I’ve been texting Liam over the weekend. I’m honestly having so much fun texting Wolf Boy. He keeps trying to get me to send nude photos, stating it is only fair because I’ve seen him naked. I’ve sent teasing photos of me in underwear, or side shots of me naked, so he can’t see the good stuff, which is driving him insane. I’m loving every minute of it.
I know he partly using me to gather information on Eve to feed to Conrad so I’m keeping it superficial as he was a total jackass for getting her foster carer file.
Together we developed a plan over the weekend. Conrad and Liam have invited all four of us to the Royal Moon Pack for a weekend stay. Main goal is to show that his pack is safe unlike her old one and Liam assured us that we will be treated like royal princesses with no expense spared. The three of us are so excited. We just have to convince Eve when she comes back. If she comes back.
I’m working from home on new designs for my fashion line and It’s about lunchtime when I hear the front door open. I run to the front door and see Eve walking in and literally leap into her arms and she catches me in surprise.
“Goddess Mish, you scared the hell out of me. I thought you would be at work“.
“I scared you. YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR 3 DAYS“.
“I’m sorry. I’m fine, though. I’ll just get my stuff and go to a hotel“. She looks so sad, but I’m furious at
her.
“WHY ARE YOU GOING TO A HOTEL. YOU LIVE HERE?“.
“So I’m not bothering or putting you guys in danger anymore“.
“FIRSTLY, YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE A BOTHER. YOU ARE OUR BEST FRIEND AND WE LOVE YOU DESPITE BEING A WEREWOLF. SECONDLY, WE ARE NOT IN DANGER“.
“You don’t know that and why are you yelling“. She is looking at me genuinely confused.
“BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK YOU IDIOT“.
Eve is staring at me, looking in surprise. She clearly wasn’t expecting this reaction. She started to look terrified. I have never seen her scared before. I get out my phone and tell the girls she is home. I’m going to need reinforcement to get her to stay home, let alone go to the pack.
“I’ve just messaged the girls and both will be here in 30 minutes“.
I can see the tears welling up in her eyes. “You’re not mad at what I am“.
“No. We’re actually mad at you because you didn’t tell us about your past. It explains a lot about your

always–on guard behaviour. Why didn’t you tell us you were in foster care? Why did you tell us your family was dead?“.
The look in her eyes was surprise, but that quickly turned to shame.
“It’s OK, honey. It doesn’t change how we see you. You are still the strong, beautiful, amazing person you were before we knew. We just wish you felt safe enough to tell us“.
“I can’t cause it’s so much worse than you think“.
At this she just starts crying. I rush over and hold her tight and just let her have that moment. It’s only a moment before she forces the tears to stop. If she didn’t tell us I’m assuming she has never told anyone.
With her eyes glistening with tears she looks at me. “I’m honestly sorry for scaring you. Just promise me if this all gets too much and you feel I have to leave at any time, just tell me. OK“.
“If you keep up with that crap, I’m going to smack you with a rolled up newspaper“.
We both burst out laughing at this, and I just held her until the other girls came home.
Both girls had the same reaction when they got home. There were lots of tears all around. Then we had to broach the subject of the weekend. When we explained the plan, Eve was horrified.
“You all literally agreed to go into a wolf pack. Do you know how dangerous that is?“.
I step in to try and calm her down. “We don’t think it’s dangerous. The boys have been talking to us all weekend, making sure we’re OK. You can read the messages if you like. If they can’t show you in one weekend that they are safe, they will leave you alone. They just want a chance“..
“You have no idea what Alphas are really like“, she snaps back.
“I don’t know if you do either. I realise you have met some bad ones, but just like people, they can’t all be bad. That’s also why they invited you to the pack. You seemed to only be worried about Conrad, so in a pack, there are others. Your pack is also there“.
This piqued her interest, and she turned around sceptical. “What do you mean?“.
“Liam said your pack had too many injuries and medical issues to send to another pack. That’s why they are all at Royal Moon“.
She seemed to seriously think about the offer when we mentioned her pack. She must really care about
them.
“And if I agree to go and still refuse to join, they will leave me alone“.
“That’s the deal“.
She thinks seriously for a few minutes while we all wait, holding our breaths. “OK“.

With that, I messaged Liam.
– She is home safe and has agreed to the weekend.
