and obnoxious music. They had the laughter down, though not drunk and goofy but maniacal. I doubted they ate or drank anything, as more I could hear them just tossing stuff and shouting nonsense about it. Anyone who saw them would have believed them drunk or high. Cupboards were emptied, I knew by the sound of cans hitting a wooden floor and someone making a pathetic joke about beans. That was followed by the splintering of wood as furniture was broken, and another ass of a wolf in human form told someone to sit there. When another said no thank you, a window shattered leaving me to assume the broken couch had gone out it.
     
    I began to utilize my great bond with the Royal werewolf named Josh. This connection had come as a shock to me when it first materialized, but now, I had need of it. He came through loud and clear despite the ruckus. Reading his emotional reactions, I could almost read his thoughts, like Lex could with me. With my magic and his, given his Royal birth as well, Josh and I had an almost psychic connection. At times, I got flashes of what he could see, what he could smell, and more.
     
    On the island, no one could actually explain why the connection happened, but it wasn’t uncommon between the Royals either with no reason or rhyme as to why it happened between two of us or any of the others for that matter. I’d been told that in a magical world, some things couldn’t be explained, some had to just be accepted with a leap of faith. A strong belief in one’s self, in one’s abilities helped in getting to that point of acceptance. A scientist type could never handle my powers, as most of it was with no answer as to the why or the how of it.
     
    Josh had volunteered to go as part of one of the bait teams, as they’d been referring to them. He’d gone in the group that would distract the men left around Daniel. At some point I concentrated so hard on my connection to him that it was as if I’d fallen into a trance. I’d done so before, well had be led to, in trying to connect to Lex in the last battle, to use our connection to locate him. This time the trance hadn’t taken special crystals or candles or coaching. I’d managed it all on my own. Of course, what had been on that island to block up my chakras? Here, now, I remained clear still, making it easier to use my abilities.
     
    Flashes came to me of images Josh saw. All had shifted at this point. He must have given how clear the images were of trees zooming by, a rodent scurrying off to get out of his way. At some point I could smell Daniel, so, that meant Daniel could also smell Josh. The clash would come soon, and I had to be ready.
     
    My nerves grew, making my wolf heart pound in my chest even as it prepared for battle, the beats so loud they thumped in my ears, making it harder to hear what I really needed to. My paws scuffed at the dry, brittle and brown grass underneath me with New York having a dry summer this year. I clawed at the earth, felt the dirt crumble like powder between the pads of my claws. Lex nuzzled against me, his snout rubbing my neck attempting to gain my attention. His concern came through loud and clear. Looking up at him, I noticed Nira standing over him also giving me a tight look of concern.
     
    I didn’t know how any of them got used to putting themselves, but more importantly our loved ones, at risk in these sorts of situations. Nira had said before life was viewed different by the vampires, as it was a second chance to live again, and their mission to help the prime reason for that. It made them basically fearless.
     
    For the wolves, though we lived longer, very different, more intense lives I was finding out, still, they clung to those they loved, as blood relations and as pack. They had to have some fear, yet, there was also something primal in them I’d noticed that gave them all that alpha quality of being unbeatable. Basically, they believed in themselves, their abilities as wolves, and that went a
