Forgiveness.
(Fraction)
Watching Anna take charge has me hardening beneath her a ss, I can’t help it, watching her pull full Luna on people has that
effect on me. She’s grown so much but it still shocks me when she suddenly uses the authority she’s been given. Honestly, if I
could I’d throw her down on my desk and f uck her until I couldn’t move anymore. I can feel the nerves running through her body
as the slight shake gives her away, she conflicted with the information thrown at her which I can understand. It’s not that I knew
Elder Thomas was related to her but I had a very strong suspicion, it’s just that he’s so kind to her and I’ve never seen that side
to an Elder. Elder Iris is more of the Elder’s I
know and loath.
“Tell me, what do you know that we don’t?” I need to understand why the Elders have kept The Shalamayne a secret because
it’s not just our Pack who didn’t know about them.
“They
ey came here about fifteen years ago, they stayed relatively quite and used their prisons to contain some of the rogues around.”
Elder Thomas is trying to catch Anna’s eye but she’s purposefully not looking at him, “they came when a set of twins were born
in The South Claw Pack one of them was an Omega and the other was not. This was enough to spark their interest, from what I
understand the family gave over the Omega.” I feel Anna draw in a breath as she listens to an Omega just being handed over so
casually.
“And you just let them take her? How old was she?” Anna sounds particularly upset which I can understand as this is just yet
another young Omega left with a sh itty upbringing.

“From what I understand she was barely two, at the time I was just an initiate so I had no say in this matter. Anna, please
understand.” Anna cuts him off by holding up her hand.
“No, from what I understand a female called them from this Pack after a death in her family.” I have o idea who this female is and
I can feel the tension getting worse in Anna so I decide to give her an out.
“Little wolf, why don’t you go and see Thomas while me and the Elder chat?” Anna shakes her head before crossing her arms
and leaning back against my chest. “We haven’t had any deaths in the Pack so I don’t think it’s possible for the call to come from
this Pack.”
“I don’t know what to tell you, Alpha. That is all I know about them,” they shroud themselves in secrecy. We didn’t even know
they were back in the country until last month.” The pleading look on his face. makes me want to believe him but how do you
believe someone who is you believe someone who is so cryptic, “I understand you have one of their female shifters?”
The change in subject has Anna standing from me and walking around the desk. I thought she was about to leave but instead
she heads for the whiskey and pours two glasses before bringing one back to me. Anna and drinking is never a great idea but I
let it go given the information dropped on her today.
“What about her?” I ask Elder Thomas.
“I know what she did but I ask you to please consider your own mate’s upbringing before condemning her.” Anna scuffs as she
downs her drink, “don’t make that noise, you of all people know that we can not control how we are raised in this world. Do you
think that young female asked to be raised in a cult where she would be trained to do

unspeakable things?”
“So we are meant to forgive her for taking our pup? She has her own mind and can make her own choices!” Anna is getting
angry now and I fully understand why.
“Could you have all those years ago? While under the rule of your father or John? If they had told you to do something could you
have refused?” Anna goes to say something but she must think better of it as she closes her mouth and leans against the desk..
“I don’t think Anna’s upbringing has anything to do with this.” I say in defence of my mate.
“The female made the right decision in the end. Is she not sitting in your cells aiding you in anything you ask? All I ask is that you
don’t condemn someone who has yet to make their own choices.” I get what Elder Thomas is hinting at but I don’t know if I have
it in me to forgive Eva.
“Why don’t we table this for another time? Unless you have something more to tell us about The Shalamayne then I think we are
“Luna, with your permission I would like to stay and aid in laying Beth to rest. She was a good friend of mine and I would like to
say goodbye.” Anna doesn’t answer him but nods before looking away from
him.
“Find Eliza, she will get you a room.” I tell Elder Thomas, he looks at Anna again before getting a sad look on his face and
leaving the office.
Once we are alone I get up from my desk and walk over to the door, sliding the lock in place I turn to Anna and cross my arms.
Now we are alone I’m sure I’m about to get shouted at.

“How long did you know?” Anna asks in a whisper.
“I didnt for sure, I guessed. He either wanted you or knew you better than he was saying.” I walk over to Anna, putting my finger
under her chin. I tilt her face up to me, I see the tears balancing on her lashes and carefully wipe them away. “This is a good
thing, little wolf. You have more family out there, how could that possibly be bad?”
“He lied to me.” I understand her feeling of betrayal, it seems everyone in Anna’s life has lied to her at some point or another,
myself included.
“How about we focus on getting Aurora and James home, then we can deal with Elder Thomas and how or if you want him in
your life?” Anna takes my hand and brings it up to her face before nuzzling into my palm.
“I’m so tired, Fraction. I just want my family whole. Why is that so hard?” I swipe my thumb across her lips, I take a deep breath
in as she opens her mouth and sucks on the pad of it.
“Once we have them back I’ll show you the normal life you can have.” My eyes focus on her sucking on my thumb as she looks
up at me through her lashes. “Now isn’t a good time little wolf, Rick should be home anytime soon and he has information on the
group moving.” I feel myself harden as she starts to use her teeth on my thumb before letting it fall from her mouth.
“You need to stop punishing yourself, I don’t blame you for Aurora.” I take my hand back and go to turn away for her, I’m not
ready to hear her forgive me for failing her. “Don’t.” Anna grabs my arm to stop me, “you didn’t do anything wrong. Neither of us
did.”
“I love that you can forgive so easily but you’re wrong,” I kiss her forehead before stepping back from her. “I pushed James away
and he was taken. I was busy buried in you when Aurora was taken and my
