Chapter 37 A Lot In A Day

• [Bellatrix:]
• A lot has happened since I was away, Hera had told me and when I say a lot, I mean a whole lot. First off, she had said somehow the Alpha King had managed to turn the backs of all five Lycan provinces away from the Winter Pack province, the main pack in the whole of North America — which means if he calls on a war on the winter pack, well then we are done for, because no one is on our side. Add that he has now placed a bounty of five million dollars on my head, and as he put it, he has to bring the notorious wolf hunter who leaves no trace of her escapades to justice. Which leaves me with one conclusion, he knows about the prophecy.. Of course he would know, and so Alec being alive is a threat to him, a big threat and as for me, probably a tool to gain power.
• I exhale deeply as I take in the sight of the still frozen pool of transition. I came out here not quite long, as I was feeling a little bit suffocated being indoors for a long time.. And I could not resist the urge to relish in the calmness the sight of the pool brings to me. I hear nearing footsteps, and I am jolted out of my self induced fantasy. I glance at the approaching person, and it is Karen.
