“Day six just started,” Kianda says as she looks at the time and 1 smile as I eat my dinner.
I am in no hurry to get moving. I want most of the Palace lights out before I enter the Palace. I need to make sure I can avoid anyone who is still awake as I make my way through the Palace and that means I have
time I make my move.

Dad took Jasmine to Little River Pack in the morning, her Wolf couldn’t stay away from Dagda any longer and I asked Dad to drive her there. Only a few people at Little River Pack know I am still in the competition and Jasmine understood I wanted to keep it that way. She wished me luck in completing the competition and in finding all the rewards.
When it is close to midnight, I head towards Mystic Moon Pack. Twilight is running at top speed and we get to the border just after midnight. Patrol hasn’t changed their routine yet and that gives me the opportunity to get past them without any trouble. Let’s see if Leander is patrolling around the Palace again.
I climb the same tree I was sitting in last time and I see that the majority of the lights in the palace are out, except for the lights on the Beta and Gamma floor. I am taking in my surroundings when I see from the corner of my eye that Deimos has stepped onto his balcony and Twilight pushes forward to have a peek.
He is leaning on the balcony fence as he is looking towards Moon Stone Pack. I keep my eyes on the floor below his feet because I don’t want him to feel me staring at him. It is hard to not let my eyes wander towards him, he is a very handsome male to look at and I understand why females try to get his attention.
I let my mind wander back to the meeting we had here a few weeks ago. I never felt really comfortable around males or at these meetings and I had not been looking forward to this meeting. In hindsight it changed a lot of things for me, but it also taught me that not every male gives me the creeps and Deimos is one of those males.
Walking around the meeting that first day, I didn’t think I would ever consider a male to be able to behave normally. Most males I have met have an outspoken opinion about how a female should behave or that they shouldn’t be allowed to have a High–ranking position within a Pack.
Deimos and his friends showed me that there are males around who value females, who believe everyone deserves to get what is their birthright and I know each of them will uphold the Law. The more time I spent with Deimos at that meeting, the more I realized that he is the kind of male that will cherish his Mate.
I hope my Mate will be like Deimos, a male who will respect who and what I am and who will never belittle me for being a female.
Movement to my left pulls my thoughts away from the meeting and back to the present. I see Leander walking towards the Palace but instead of patrolling the Palace, he walks straight in through the backdoor.
“Looks like Leander isn’t on patrol tonight.” Twilight says to me, but within seconds more and more lights turn on in the Palace and I grumble softly as I see Leander walking back out with Eryx and Deimos. As they move towards me, I keep my head/towards the Palace and slowly close my eyes to concentrate on their conversation.
“I have no idea if it was a Rogue or someone here to find their reward, but he is convinced he saw a Wolf cross our south border.” Leander says. “It happened about twenty minutes ago, but we haven’t been able to pick up a scent.” I hold my breath as they walk past the tree I am in and once I am certain they are far enough away, I climb down from the tree.
Looks like someone else might have figured out their hint.” Twilight says as we make our way over to the statu the one–legged King. I look up and down at the statue as I walk around it. I spot the reward in the opening of his right arm and it is quite easy to take it from its hiding place.
I quietly make my way into the Palace through the backdoor and I jump into the small corridor as I hear footsteps approaching the backdoor.
“Make sure they keep an eye out for the i
patrol changes in the morning.” I hear Eryx say before the backdoor closes and their footsteps start to fade
they can’t interfere if it is a competitor. We will discuss
away.
I slowly make my way up to the first floor of the Royal Family’s wing. I need to make sure they have enough time to get back to bed and hopefully, they will fall asleep real fast. Almost an hour has passed when I finally step out of the corridor and as I scan the wall for the painting, I decide that Ammon will be my first personal quest.
Thank the Goddess I know my history or I might have been standing out here too long, there are two paintings of a female on the wall, and one of their stories I am very familiar with. I approach the correct painting and I already see the sachet with the reward hanging from the side. I take it down with a smile on my face.
After I place it in my backpack, I get back in the corridor and slowly make my way up to the floor that belongs to the King and his family. Twilight and I decided to start with Ammon because if he wants me as his baby Sister, he needs to know what he is getting himself into. Slater tried to warn him, but I doubt Ammon took it seriously.
I step into the first room to my right after I get out of the corridor and I make my way over to the balcony. I believe it will be easier to get into his room by using the balcony. Let’s just hope he doesn’t lock the damn thing at night or I will have to use the door to his room instead.
I am grateful the balconies are the same all around the Palace and luckily Twilight and I took our time tonight to study them. We will be able to jump from balcony to balcony and once we have reached Ammon’s room we will have to get into his room without making a sound, not sure if it will be as easy as it sounds in my head right now.
I take a moment to calm down once I am on the balcony that is connected to Ammon’s room and I look at the furniture they have placed outside, I can already imagine Asha out here on a lounge chair with a book. Maybe I should take her up on her offer and visit the Palace before I start traveling in search of my fated Mate.
Twilight pushes forward as I lean towards the balcony door and we both chuckle when we hear someone snore, it sounds as if someone is trying to take a tree down. I try the handle carefully and to my surprise it is unlocked, making my entry a lot easier.
I let my eyes adjust for a second after I have closed the door behind me and I smile when I see Ammon and Asha curled around one another, not that it looks comfortable to me. I keep a close eye on them as I walk around the bed to Ammon’s side and I pump my fist into the air as I see what I came for, the necklace Asha gave to him on his birthday.
Apparently Ammon doesn’t like to wear it when he goes to sleep and it makes this a lot easier for me to pull off. I take the necklace from his nightstand and for a moment I consider leaving a note, but I decide against it. I wish I could be here when he wakes up and finds his necklace missing, I would like to witness his response to it.
I leave the room in the same way I entered and once I am safely back in the corridor I softly laugh. Luckily it is still dark when I walk out of the Palace, but I nearly have a heart attack when I pass some bushes on my

way to the border. Against a tree to my left I see Leander sitting, but he is sound asleep and I chuckle when Twilight suggests to take his knife from him.
The knife was a gift from his Father for his sixteenth birthday and he never leaves home without it, looks like he will have to do without for a while. As I wrap my fingers around the scales Leander stirs and I freeze in my movement but he continues to sleep. I pull the knife from the sheath and I place it inside my backpack before I make my way to the border.
It is near dawn when I finally return to the house and Hestia is waiting for me on the front porch, “Two Rogues tried to enter the territory through our south border, but we were able to stop them. Your Dad knows about it and he will inform Alpha Brad, using Donovan and Gibson as an excuse why you won’t be reporting it yourself.” She says as she follows me inside.
It still amazes me that Alpha Brad didn’t ask to see my device after Donovan and Gibson showed him their devices, he knows me better than that and I wonder if he might have had doubts about my abilities as a Gamma.
