though, that proved to be more of a chore, especially in the presence of her pack. The emotions had been faint and brief. Knowing where they came from, Kristi easily reined them in. The actual pain was proving to be more difficult to ignore.
     
    Around her, pack mates listed their head toward her. A few raised their eyebrows as they noticed her arms hugged around her midsection. A burn of embarrassment skipped across Kristi’s cheeks.
     
    To Kristi’s right, Selene was the one to voice the concern of the pack, “You all right, Kristi?”
     
    “Yeah, I’m fine, ma’am,” Kristi grunted. She barely held back a wince as pain blossomed across her temple. Vaguely, she thought she tasted blood on her tongue.
     
    “You sure?” Selene’s dark eyebrows furrowed, concern coating her tone. “You look like you’re in pain.”
     
    “Did the food not agree with you?” Another beta leaned over Kristi’s shoulder from behind. He nodded to the barely touched meat that lay in a tin on her knee.
     
    “I don’t know. Maybe,” Kristi falsely conceded. It was a great excuse to dismiss her to her room.
     
    “Probably some human spice Rhys used,” snorted the other beta, rolling his eyes. Indeed, the meat was coated in a thick layer of spices.
     
    “You should see if there’s any of that pink stuff in the supplies we raided,” Selene suggested as she quietly relieved Kristi of the tin. “You know, the stomachache stuff. Works better than grass.”
     
    Kristi didn’t complain as the food lifted away from her. Between her worries, her imagination, and the ailments licking over her body, her appetite had shriveled. As she stood, she nodded weakly. “Yeah, I think I will, Alpha Selene. Thank you.”
     
    Kristi couldn’t shake a subtle irony that plunked in her head. As much as her kind gave humans a hard time, they had found use in their technology, medication, and other advancements. And of all members, an alpha suggested indigestion medicine. She shooed the thought away. Perhaps Jay was inflicting her with more than physical pain and emotions.
     
    She made a show of pretending to swallow down achy groans as she hobbled from the campfire circle, holding her stomach. She could feel a plethora of gazes on her, ranging from worried to uncaring.
     
    “Let me come with you,” Alpha Selene got to her feet, her long red hair swinging behind her in her ponytail.
     
    Kristi’s heart shuddered as Selene came up to her, firmly grabbing her arms as if she’d suddenly topple over. With the alpha’s arm around her shoulders, the two of them made their way toward the cavern.
     
    Another pang bit into her torso, throbbing dully with every step she took. Kristi wondered what the hell was going on with the Alpha and her Mate. Were they brawling? Or were her worries exacerbating the pain? She tried to shove all curiosities out of her mind as she made her way to the cliff face.
     
    Away from the heat of the bonfire – ironically, another human invention that her pack clung to – and under the coolness of the night air, Kristi felt marginally better. Her eyes flickered skyward, toward the empty void where the moon hid. She could still feel the moon in her heart, even if she couldn’t see it. It had shifted from full to new since they snatched Jay from Goldbridge.
     
    Her eyes slid to her feet as her thoughts rounded on Jay, yet again. He had been an opportunity to gain information – learn where the Goldbridge alphas slept, understand the layout of the town, find out ways to disable the sirens. In theory, catching a Sentinel should have been good news for the indigenous pack.
     
    Part of Kristi wished she had left him there, unconscious and still a stranger. If Jay hadn’t been dragged back to their base, she never would have fallen for him. He would have stayed a foreigner and a threat. Should they have met in another battle, they could have easily killed one another.
     
    Deeper in her synapses, she knew that part was
