Orla is against the idea and Cali has to assure her that everything is fine; but when she leaves Artemis insists they just make sure Tom is fine themselves. They plan to have someone cover them so they can slip away, Artemis revealing it was Rishika’s idea and that she’s accompanying them. Cali tells Orla she’s going to help Artemis set up her internet and they take off. Rishika leads until she informs them she is picking up an unknown scent when they see a white wolf appear. It transforms to a woman with long white hair and porcelain skin and she introduces herself as Aysel. Cali introduces herself but Rishika and Artemis are suspicious. Aysel asks about the wolf with gray eyes and Cali asks if she is talking about Greyson. Aysel tells her that Greyson is going to be her mate.

Violet is content - full of Thanksgiving dinner with her mate and brother, and is helping with the cleanup efforts. Except she wants to find out what’s going on with Marta and Lilac and is anticipating their double date. Marta comes into help and she asks about the bracelets, and she vaguely explains that they block her magic. Violet tries to change the subject to Marta’s relationship with Lilac when Charlie and Lilac come in. She tells them they should do a double date immediately by watching a movie. The twins are excited but Marta is reluctant until Lilac drags her away to put pajamas on. Charlie comments that Violet might be trying too hard to get them to know each other better and she misinterpreted it as Charlie not liking Lilac. He assures her and asks if they could talk about something serious. She thinks it has to do with him leaving the pack house again but he asks if she will spend Christmas with his family.

### Ch 3 - CALI

Cali is dumbstruck and tells Aysel she can’t chose just chose her mate but she responds that maybe Cali herself can’t do so. Cali starts to get worried that there was some kind of werewolf spell that allowed them to claim their own mates. Rishika asks what pack Aysel is from and what she is doing in Redwood territory. Before Aysel can answer there is a howling and she shifts and runs off. Cali starts ranting about Aysel claiming Greyson as hers and Rishika tells her she’s never heard of it working that way but there are old werewolf rituals she doesn’t know about. Cali gets even more upset and insecure about it all when Rishika reminds her they’re looking for Tom. They find the three and Xavier asks why she smells like another wolf. She tells him they ran into someone and Xavier gets overprotective and tells her she shouldn’t have gone to them. Rishika assures she was never in trouble and Cali wishes she could speak to Tom but realizes she has to wait for him to shift back, unfortunately in the nude. They summon Tom to go back with them to the pack house while Rishika reports their encounter with Aysel. Greyson reveals she is part of the Vanguards and Cali wonders if they are a threat. Xavier tells Cali about their Alpha Prince Lucian and the party they are invited to. Cali asks if they are going and Xavier tells her yes but Greyson says no.

### Ch 4 - GREYSON

Greyson is surprised Xavier wants to go and tells him they’re not going, but Xavier insists. Greyson doesn’t think it’s a good idea but Xavier tells him to reconsider because he’s thinking like an Alpha. Greyson tells him they could be walking into a trap but Xavier tells him that as Alpha it would be diplomatic to go. While they argue, Cali interrupts to be included in the conversation and insists she go with them. She goes off on them about how she’s Fae and can use her magic and Xavier agrees stating she can pretend to be human and be their secret weapon because they don’t know her powers. Cali demands to be a part of it and gets stubborn despite Greysons’s points about her being their weakness and harming herself. Greyson gets suspicious that she has an ulterior motive for going and Xavier interrupts them to drag her to Tom. But Greyson pulls her back to talk and asks why she is lying to him and she admits that Aysel said Greyson was going to be her mate. He laughs about her jealousy and assures she has. Itching to worry about.

### Ch 5 - CALI

Greyson tries to tease her about being jealous and needing him to prove his love for her. She gets embarrassed and asks why he doesn’t want her to go, adding that Xavier agrees, which kills the mood. She changes it up telling him that they are going to look bad if they don’t show up with a Luna, and he gets upset that she may be thinking about becoming a Luna just to save face to a rival pack. He tells her making her a Luna has unknown risks for the pack and there are other issues that are priority, she get mad and changes the subject to him not agreeing to e co-Alpha. He snaps back at her that she should drop the subject and tells her to go check on Tom while he goes on patrol. She finds Tom still In wolf form and worries he’s stuck but Xavier tells her he doesn’t want to shift back. She tells him he has to and when he does so painfully she panics that he really is stuck.

### Ch 6 - CHARLIE

Charlie is nervous about what Violet’s answer will be when she demands if he had spoken to his mom about it. He tells her he did but she neither agreed or disagreed with her coming and that it’s the best time to strengthen their relationship with Iris. Violet agrees she wants to spend time with Charlie but not his parents and asks why he wants her to go, if it’s a ploy to use her to defy his parents. He realizes she will be taking a big risk in going and assures he’s not forcing the issue just wanted to put it out there. She tells him she will think about it and he should discuss it further with Iris in the meantime. He decides to talk to his dad about it instead and she asks what they are doing to do for their first Thanksgiving together. He offers to set up for movie night and she gets the snacks ready, and he realizes he also has to fix his relationship with Lilac for her just as she has issue with Iris. After setting up the projector he decides to check on Violet’s popcorn in the kitchen when he runs into Marta and she tells him she can’t do this.

### Ch 7 - XAVIER

Xavier tries to deescalate the situation and mind links Tom to find what the problem with shifting back is. Tom tells him he’s stuck and doesn’t know what to do, but it’s painful and he doesn’t want Cali and Orla to see him. He tells Tom he can’t get the girls to leave until he can answer them about what’s happening; if it’s a problem with not knowing or something else. Tom says it’s about the fear of making a mistake. Cali then interrupts to find out what’s goin on and Xavier tells her Tom’s just nervous. He tells Tom that it hurts right now because it’s his first time and his body needs to get used to it but he doesn’t believe him until he tells Tom that his wolf is a part of him now. He’s able to shift back, Cali and Orla are so happy. Tom tells them he feels exhausted and Orla takes him to get some rest. Cali showers him with praise and he tries to be modest by telling her that his responsibility as Alpha is help his pack. She tells him that he really does care and he gets uncomfortable saying he just did it by instinct. She kisses him and he stops her because he’s naked in the open and tells her he’s going to shower. There he thinks about the Vanguard situation and how both him and Greyson going would leave the pack house vulnerable. He wants to leave Rishika in charge but her loyalty to Greyson puts him off and he thinks Jay would be a better choice. Suddenly he hears the door open and unable to see through the steam he thinks it’s Ava.

### Ch 8 - MARTA

Marta struggles to explain to Charlie that she can’t do movie night because it’s been 50 years since she’s been on a date. Charlie offers that he can understand how it can be awkward being around him and Violet because he feels that way around Lilac. She feels a little better when he says he was caught buying condoms but she can top it with Violet walking in on them. He tells her to try it out and offers an out by giving an excuse of the movie being boring and wanting to go to bed. She agrees, calling him coach for giving her a pep talk, and asks what movie they are watching. She suggests a movie from 1967 and Charlie doesn’t know it, which makes her embarrassed. He assures it’s not about the movie but about spending time with the person you love. They decide to prepare the den when the twin come in arguing about the genre of movie to watch. Lilac wants a horror movie while Violet wants a rom-com. Marta suggests another movie that they all don’t know about and Violet insists she gets choice when Lilac demands she take a side. Charlie saves her by saying they start a movie and follow the 10-minute rule where they will change it if they aren’t invested after the first ten minutes. They all agree and Lilac asks why she’s still wearing her clothes, which she’s confused because she doesn’t want to watch naked. He tells her to put on comfy clothes and she rushes out embarrassed for mentioning taking off her clothes. She returns to the den to find them set up and she is seated between Charlie and Lilac. They start the movie and she starts to enjoy when she feels something rubbing her foot. She thinks Lilac is playing footsore with her when she looks and sees he’s passed out asleep. She then thinks it’s Charlie.

### Ch 9 - CALI

Cali undresses in the steamy shower room and feels bad about doing it, but assures herself that she wanted Xavier. When she opens the door though, she sees he’s not happy to see her - really upset - and she gets embarrassed that it was a mistake. Xavier realizes it’s her and pulls her into the shower and jokes how she couldn’t keep away. She tells him she needed a shower because she was out in the woods and he teases that he needs to get her shower fixed then. She explains she didn’t want to waste water and he interrupts that all her excuses can’t hide the fact that she wants him. He asks her to scrub his back with a loofah and he reciprocates, and as she is about to ask for more he stops the shower. He tells her he knows what she wants but he doesn’t want to give her the wrong idea and that she has to earn it. Cali gets upset and he tells her she can go down on him or he goes down on her but he wants to watch in front of the mirror.

### Ch 10 - GREYSON

Greyson is taking patrol and thinking about the Vanguards who were an unknown pack and suddenly showing up making aggressive claims towards them. He realizes that he has to make good with them for the sake of the pack staying out of another war and that he has to be extra careful with Cali involved. He notices Ravi in his path and asks what he’s doing out and he tells Greyson he ate too much and needed to run it off. But Greyson thinks there’s more to it and Ravi admits there is but it has nothing to do with Ava because he’s been avoiding her and hasn’t seen her all night. He tells Greyson he actually wanted to talk to him about the Vanguards because he’s heard of them before, he had almost for into a fight with one of them once but was advised to walk away because it would’ve been a challenge to the entire pack. Greyson gets a feeling that the Vanguards might be another cult like the Manus Cruentae and wonders if he can get Xavier to keep Cali from coming with them before they get all the details. However he also didn’t want to show as weak for not having a Luna, but realizes their situation is a mess. He suddenly picks up a scent and follows it to a white wolf who tells him she’s been waiting for him.

Lola clarifies she’s also a vampire and tells her she’s weird for a vampire to be staying with werewolves. Jacqueline tells her she’s not going back to Tottenville and that she has no family or friends. She gets upset at Lola and leaves while Lola is annoyed she’s also kind of guilty for how Jacqueline reacted when she asked about family. She goes inside to see Big Mac with Tom and Orla and remembers his debut as a wolf too. She asks him about it and sees he’s still pretty confused about his experience. They leave to get some rest and she asks Big Mac if she will have problems because of her hybrid situation.

He tells her that their Alpha is narcissistic and believes he’s a prince; she wonders if there’s such thing as werewolf royalty. He tells her there isn’t and thinks about how Lucian’s large wolf was hard to forget; Cali asks if the Vanguards start trouble will the pack be able to win.

### Ch 13 - VIOLET

Violet is enjoying movie night but can’t stop thinking about how Charlie and here’s conversation about Christmas went. Because she wants to be with him and not Iris. She thinks it’s not fair his parents don’t like her and wonders why there’s friction between Lilac and Charlie. Suddenly Marta jumps up and screams and tells them someone was rubbing her leg while glaring at Charlie. He gets surprised and mind links Violet it wasn’t him when Lilac tells her it was him and was pretending to be asleep. They go back to watching the movie and she thinks how happy she is being with Charlie and how the moment is perfect for them to go all the way when she remembers Marta and Lilac are still there. After a few minutes she notices Lilac and Marta whispering when Marta sighs and stomps out the room. Violet wonders if she should go after her and asks Lilac what happened but he is stunned. Charlie tells him to go after her and he rushes to follow her and Violet realizes they are now alone. They start kissing passionately when Violet yells because her phone is vibrating and Charlie fears he hurt her. She takes her phone out to put it out of the way when she notices an unknown number text her “we’re coming for you”

### Ch 14 - GREYSON

Greyson knows the white wolf is from the Vanguards and keeps his distance, but she moves closer. He’s bracing for a fight when her scent tries to overpower him and she shifts to human form. He notices her naked body and she greets him by name; he realizes this was who Cali met. He thinks it’s a trap when she asks him to shift as well and so he does because she taunts him. She tells him he is a perfect specimen and that his eyes are the color of storms and he greets her by name. She verified that she does have a claim on him to be her mate, but he tells her to be real and tell him what her game is. She tells him to come to the party tomorrow to find out and shifts back to her wolf form before running off. Greyson wants to go after her and see if she will lead him to her pack but decides that might be her plan to bait him and would need to talk to Xavier. He remembers his dream where he was Alpha and Cali and Xavier were dead and thinks maybe being co-Alpha was safe. He goes to the kitchen and finds Xavier; he tells him he is willing to do the co-Alpha plan.

### Ch 15 - XAVIER

Greyson tells Xavier he’s willing to do co-Alpha for tomorrow night only to show the Vanguards a United front. Xavier wants to know what happens after that but Greyson tells him one step at a time. Xavier doesn’t want to admit that Greyson is right because he does believe the Vanguards are a real threat but has no choice to agree to the plan because he doesn’t want Cali to get mad at him. Xavier goes to the bathroom after Greyson taunts him about having something stuck in his teeth when Artemis comes to complain about his attitude towards Cali when she’s dealing with the due destini curse. He asks her if she gave the same talk to Greyson and she gets more upset telling him it’s exactly what she’s taking about; and he notes that Artemis and Rishika favor Greyson over him. He deflects that he doesn’t want their favor as the Alpha but their respect and obedience. He gets annoyed about being lectured and asks her what she wants from him and she reveals she did talk to Greyson and he was more understanding than him. She tells him that Cali does everything to please him so he needs to do the same for her but he tells Artemis that he’s been taking care of Cali before Greyson and even her. She tells him that’s good but he better keep it up. Xavier laughs that Artemis is threatening him as Alpha of the pack for the sake of Cali. He meets with Jay on the way to bed to tell him about the plan to go to the Vanguard party and that he is to protect the pack while he was out. He agrees when they hear a motorcycle come up the driveway and they see Andrei.

### Ch 16 - GREYSON

Greyson sees Andrei outside with Xavier and Jay, thinking Xavier had invited Andrei without informing him. He jumps into the group to ask what’s going on and Andrei jokes how there’s three Alphas. Greyson tells him he’s being disrespectful and Andrei apologizes with a smirk. Xavier tells him to state his business and leave and Andrei gets menacing and wonders what they will do if he doesn’t obey. Greyson mind links Xavier to tone it down because they don’t want to start a war. Andrei tells them he was sent by Prince Lucian for a formal invitation to the party at his palace. Jay starts laughing and Greyson goes to block him thinking that Andrei might have been sent to provoke an attack to justify a war. He tells Andrei that the message was received and to tell his master they accept and Andrei gets upset that Prince Lucian is the Alpha and he is not a slave. Xavier laughs and asks if that makes him a court jester then and Jay laughs. Andrei smiles and tells them they will need their humor to impress the court because they don’t have much else to offer. He hands them a scroll and both Xavier and Greyson reach for it; but Greyson allows Xavier to handle it. To Greyson he hands a box which he states is for the Luna. They go inside and the pack questions them. Greyson is about to tell them it was nothing when Xavier tries to fill them in; Greyson realizing Xavier wanting to continue his Alpha posturing to make declarations. Greyson tells him to go ahead and Xavier gets upset that he had to get permission to speak, he tells them that an emissary from the Vanguard pack invited the Redwood Alpha to a party. Greyson notes how he used the singular and the pack members also notice and ask who is going. Xavier gets even more upset and Greyson wonders if he’s going to admit the co-Alpha deal. Cali joins the group and Xavier tells them about the co-Alpha and she smiles. Greyson ushers Xavier away so they can read the scroll which reveals Prince Lucian and his sister Princess Aysel have a palace in an area they didn’t realize had a palace. Cali comes in and asks what’s in the box and he tells her it’s a gift from the Vanguards for the Luna and she asks if it’s supposed to be for her.

### Ch 17 - LOLA

Big Mac reminds Lola she never paid for the inversion spell and has the nerve to ask her for more help. Lola gets nervous about what the cost would be like taking her voice and if she did would she still be able to mind link Jay. Instead she plucks a hair from her head and tells her she will let her know what the cost will be. Lola starts to panic about what it could be and when she would find out. She goes to find Jay to talk to him about it and sees his eyepatch as a reminder of what could be. She feels guilty and asks him if he would still love her if she lost her legs or teeth. He comforts her when she tells him her anxiety over what Big Mac wants for the inversion spell by saying he is willing to take on her debt if she fears it so much. She gets upset and tells him never again and he suggests they not fight about it. They get ready for bed but she’s too strung up on what she can lose and when it will be and she wonders how she can get out of paying the debt.

### Ch 18 - CALI

Cali doesn’t understand why Greyson or Xavier won’t answer if she is supposed to be the Luna and wants to open the box. She wants to be the Luna since they were sharing her and co-Alpha so she asks to open it. She admires the wrapping and the bow and Xavier tells her to be careful as there could be a magic woven in. Inside, Cali admires the silver gown, and worries that it would reveal her stretch marks so she tells the guys it’s December and she will freeze wearing it. She realizes they still didn’t answer her and clarifies if the dress is for her. Xavier speaks up that Lucian must be mad to send Cali something revealing like that and Greyson tells her Lucian thinks as a prince he can do what he wants. Cali tells them the dress is for the Redwood Luna but they don’t have one and Greyson tells her she shouldn’t go anymore and Xavier agrees. He explains that Lucian trying to order her what to wear changes things which makes her defiant. She tells them she’s going because they already agreed and that she has magic so them blocking her over jealousy is making them look weak. She explains that she has to wear it because if she doesn’t it makes them look afraid or disrespectful. She realizes her mistake and insists on trying it on; and when she does she can’t believe it fit and looks amazing on her. She feels beautiful and powerful like a real Luna and demands they agree to her going. But Greyson tells her that they will know she doesn’t have a Luna mark.

### Ch 19 - MARTA

Marta is upset as she stomps away and hears Lilac coming after her. He asks why she’s acting in this way and she tells him that he was playing footise when she thought he was asleep and then he wanted to kiss her in front of everyone. He wonders why she’s so upset about that and she tells him that his sister was watching. She feels dismissed about her concerns because she wasn’t comfortable with public display of affection. She storms to her room, slamming the door, and starts crying. She thinks about being intimate with someone being a private ordeal and being ashamed when in mixed company. She feels out of place for being old fashioned - from another time, as wells as having a dangerous power inside her. Lilac comes in to talk and after apologizing for making her feel uncomfortable tries to understand what happened. She asks if he’s happy because even if she brought him back to life she failed to reunite him with Plum. He assures her it’s not a problem since his girlfriend gave him the gift of life and she asks if she is his girlfriend.

### Ch 20 - CALI

Cali realizes Greyson’s right about the Luna mark not showing since the dress could probably also reveal if she was wearing undies or not. Xavier tells her to wear something else but Cali insists she has to. She asks if the Luna mark can be somewhere other than the shoulder so she can pretend it’s in a private covered area. She asks if she can be co-Luna which they refuse and she daydreams about being admired wearing the dress with the co-Alphas escorting her and a Luna mark on her until she wonders if she has to have two of them. Greyson and Xavier get upset and try to explain to her things aren’t that simple for what she’s imagining and she gets mad and tells them they don’t have any other ideas so hers will stand. Greyson believes the only option is she doesn’t attend and Cali thinks he’s just making it difficult and should listen to her because she has proof the co-Alpha works and she will be the one to bring the packs together. She decides to get a Luna mark on her own, like a tattoo and they both refuse. They tell her to go to bed and they will think of something but she reluctantly goes to change when Kira sees her and asks about the dress. Cali tells her the issues the boys are having wearing it to the party and they tell her to go to bed. When they leave Cali tells Kira she still wants to go to the party and asks her as a witch with magic if she can give her a Luna mark.

### Ch 21 - CALI

Kira asks why she wants it and what it even is. Cali tells her she wants to be Luna of the Redwoods and that it’s a symbol of an Alpha’s partner. She tells her she doesn’t want a real one, just something that can pass as one to trick the Vanguards and Kira tells her she doesn’t know how. She brushes off Cali and runs away so Cali goes to her room to pout. Her inner voice tells her she’s Fae and can think of something so she tries to talk to her parents but they’re asleep. Back in her room she admires herself in the dress and decides to draw with a sharpie a Luna mark that she remembered which was a crescent moon. But it’s terrible and Greyson walks in catching her trying to fix the design. She feigns having an itch on her back and trying to get it with the marker but he’s not fooled and laughs at her artwork attempts and tells her to stop. He then says she would be beautiful if the dress wasn’t given to her by another man and insists he help her out if it.

### Ch 22 - XAVIER

Xavier is in his room thinking about how Cali looked in the dress and how everyone would be so jealous of him for showing up at the Vanguard party with her. He’s about to shower when he hears a knock and thinks that it’s Cali, but it’s Kira. She wanted to talk to him about Cali and how she asked her to make a Luna mark for her. She’s awkward being alone with him in his bedroom while he’s half naked but he just laughs at the news and is oblivious to her discomfort. He asks if she can do it and Kira gets nervous wondering if he wants her to. He explains if it’s harmless then why not and she tells him the only thing that could be harmful wolf be if the Vanguards found out it was fake because she couldn’t do anything then. He tells her he will think about it and is about to take that shower again when Ava messages him, asking if she will see him tomorrow night.

### Ch 23 - GREYSON

Greyson wants to seduce Cali but she seems embarrassed so he decides to bid her good night instead. She thanks him for not pressuring her even though she wants him to stay and he thanks her for giving him his first real Thanksgiving. He goes out her room and runs into Xavier, assuring he was just tucking Cali into bed. Xavier is upset and says they need to talk, while Greyson defends that he’s telling the truth. Xavier reveals that he just heard from Ava that there will be many other Alphas attending the party, like Mace and Ava in lieu of Nolan. He admits that it sounds like a trap to have all the heads of the rival packs in one place to sabotage them and take over. He also doesn’t like the fact that the have to face Ava again and bringing Cali into it, who can attest that she is not the Luna. They agree to take out Ava if she is a threat to Cali and Xavier also explains Kira’s heads up about Cali asking for the Luna mark. Greyson laughs and tells him he caught her drawing one and they agree to ask Cali about it more if Kira is still willing to try. Greyson tries to get some sleep but he keeps thinking about all the things Xavier told him and how Cali might be in danger when he feels chest pain and sees the veins have spread.

### Ch 24 - CALI

Cali has a nightmare about wearing the gown and dancing at a ball with her mates until a man wearing a mask asks her if she’s the Luna when it starts raining blood. She awakens screaming into Torin’s face, who tells her it’s 6 AM and they have to beat everyone for the best deals - as it’s Black Friday. She tells him she doesn’t have time to take him shopping because she has to go to ball hosted by a Prince from a rival pack later and he gets interested. She tells him he can’t go and to ask Lola if she wants to take him to go shopping. She’s about to go back to sleep when Artemis comes in demanding her soldier to get up for her training. She tries to excuse herself out of it but Artemis refuses to hear it and tells her she already had words with Greyson and Xavier about he she puts them before herself and Cali gets upset.

### Ch 25 - CALI

Cali demands to know what Artemis said to them exactly because she thinks it might ruin what they have. Artemis gets annoyed and tells her that it wasn’t anything but the truth and she would hurt them if they hurt her. Cali gets even more dramatic and tells Artemis she has to do damage control now but Artemis brushes it off. She tells Cali to quit worrying about it and focus on her fighting form instead. Cali realizes that she should take the opportunity to train now to help her during the party if she needed it. She asks to focus on defensive moves and Rishika suggests learning how to get out of a headlock. But during her failure to pick up their tips she starts to feel guilty that she would be dead weight to her mates and would end up needing to be saved by them. She starts to whine about how fighting isn’t her thing and Artemis gets annoyed asking why they are wasting their time then because practice is what made everyone stronger and Rishika tells her they’ve only been going over moves for 20 minutes when they suddenly hear a noise. They see Jay and Ravi with a chainsaw and a tree about to topple over where the girls are standing.

### Ch 26 - GREYSON

Greyson is out running instead of panicking about the veins spreading. He thinks that his agreement to act as co-Alpha might be the reason and in some way might affect Cali. He doesn’t want to back out even if it does because he can’t let the pack look weak, which he justifies that he couldn’t do what he wanted because as an Alpha you had to do what was best for the pack no matter what. While running he hears Cali scream and races to her to see a pine tree about to fall on her. He crashes into her as well as Artemis and Rishika who were in the path and mindlinks if she’s ok. She screams for him to get out of the way but the tree barely misses him when it lands. She hugs him and cries but he doesn’t want to shift and hug her back because they she would see his veins. He looks up to see Ravi with a chainsaw and Jay with an axe which they drop immediately and scramble to explain themselves. The three women scream at them and they say Torin wanted a Christmas tree and they wanted to set one up for him as a surprise when he returned from Black Friday shopping. They scold the boys for the size of the tree which wouldn’t fit in the house and their lack of safety. Rishika asks how they planned on gettting the tree back and they all look to Greyson, who eventually is tasked in hauling the tree for the next 30 mins. He mind links Cali to go clear some space inside so he can finally shift back and give his two cents to Ravi and Jay. But they notice his veins and he leaves them to find some clothing so Cali wouldn’t notice. Once dressed he returns and Cali embraces him when they are interrupted by Xavier. He’s with Kira and states that Cali needs to get her Luna mark now.

### Ch 27 - CALI

Cali reluctantly steps always from Greyson because she is still worried about his brush with being crushed by a Christmas tree. But she sees Xavier’s face and feels guilty, asking what he means. Greyson explains they already talked about it but Xavier tells them Kira needs to clarify the plans. She tells Cali they need to do the spell immediately because it takes a few hours for the mark to set on her skin. Cali realizes the gravity of the situation, having the marks being one, but also the consequences of bearing them in front of others. She tells Kira they can go somewhere private just the two of them to do it but Kira tells her that Xavier and Greyson need to be present for their essence in the spell. She leads them to her setup and Greyson comments that the supplies look like she’s going to perform the real thing, which makes Cali jealous remembering how Joss was picked. Kira tells them her research states that the Luna ceremony bonds the wolves together and has to have as much of the real thing in the magic as possible. Her spell will be linking them through their belief that it’s real but if they admit it’s fake it will disappear, and Cali sees it’s like Astrids’s glamour magic. They discuss continuing with the spell and Cali demands to know if they can handle it because of the rules, wondering if they can deal with actually sharing her in front of Lucian. She wonders if this is a test drive to actually have them co-Alpha when they both agree.

### Ch 28 - XAVIER

Xavier sees Cali’s excitement realizing he agreed for her but not totally on board with the situation. He goes to get Kira, who seems spooked by him, and he wonders what he could do to not get on her bad side. He tells her he’s thankful for her help because Big Mac wouldn’t have done it and she brushes it off, telling them they need to strip down to start. Greyson refuses but Xavier doesn’t see the big deal while Cali is embarrassed wondering if it’s necessary. Xavier doesn’t think there is a loophole to this and insists they follow directions when Kira tells them that the link cannot have barriers which includes clothing.
