Chapter 296
AARON
The party is into full swing, and everyone seems to be having a great time.
After eating, the band started playing popular music, and now I was out on the ballroom floor with Leah
and Ethan between.
Ethan is smiling and laughing, but I can see he’s getting tired since it’s long past his bedtime, but he’s
still in good spirits.
Leah looks beautiful.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look so happy, so carefree and relaxed.
Finally, I have what I’ve always wanted.
My mate, my son and my pack are all safe and happy.
We don’t have to worry about war or rival packs or a Council that wants me dead just because of my
Alpha powers.
I’ve barely had the thought and relaxed into the moment when my wolf perks up.
And not in a good way.

Leah immediately senses my change in mood.
“Aaron is everything okay?” she asks, looking worried.
I lead her to the edge of the dance floor.
“Everything is fine,” I tell her soothingly.
I don’t want to worry her about whatever my wolf is sensing, especially since I can’t even tell what it is.
Plus, no one else seems to have sensed anything.
Maybe I’m just so used to living with some kind of conflict hanging over my head, I don’t know what do
to, how to feel, when things are fine and safe and going well.
“Would you believe me if I said I just remembered something I wanted to ask Axel?” I say, figuring the
white lie is pretty harmless. And it’s partly true.
She snorts. “I believe there’s something you need to do, and you don’t want to alarm me about
whatever it is.”
“That…is absolutely true.”
”
She kisses me quick and hard. “Do what you need to do.”
Axel and Emily have been gone for a while-even though he said they might be–but with that odd feeling
surfacing and not being
able to shake it…
“Go,” Leah tells me.
Leah smiles, and then someone comes over to talk to her, so I
leave.
I head through the house until I reach the office I share with Leah, where the noise of the party doesn’t
quite reach.
I call the guys who are patrolling the perimeter of our pack lands, but they don’t report anything
unusual. I tell them to double check anyway.
I can’t shake this bad feeling.
It’s only getting worse.
Restless and agitated, I leave the office and head back to the party, thinking I need to find Emily and
Axel. Maybe that’s the problem, that I haven’t seen them in a while, and I’m worried about how Emily is

However, when I reach the party, it’s clear that the sense of unease is maybe starting to be felt by the
pack. The mood isn’t quite as jovial any longer.
Leah comes up to me, gaze worried.
“Aaron, what’s going on?”
“Honestly, I’m not sure right now,” I tell her.
If the rest of the pack is beginning to sense danger, then we’re really f u c ked.
Right then, Ethan starts wailing.
Screaming, really. He’s inconsolable and Leah looks even more freaked out.
By now, my wolf is straining, pushing up within me, wanting to break out, prepared to attack this
unseen danger, even though I’ve got no idea what’s even causing this latent sense of malice.
I get my phone out again, this time calling down to the gate.
There’s no answer.
