Chapter 185

• Lucas POV
• I’d made it back to the Bloodnight pack a few hours earlier. I hadn’t stopped to rest hadn’t even slowed down. I just needed to be home, needed to get back to work. Not only was Aurélie Damien’s mate now, but she was still the legal Luna of Bloodnight, and her safety along with the children’s had become my highest priority.
• It was rare for Damien and me to be away from the pack at different times, rarer still for us to be gone together for an extended period. Our men were the best, handpicked and well trained, but absence always bred complacency. While we’d been gone, they’d eased off, even if only slightly.
