"So let me get this straight: you're putting yourself right in the midst of a werewolf turf war, and you plan to declare the victor?" I felt a lump form in my throat as I swallowed hard. "Yes." "Good.

Just remember, you cannot hand her over to anyone until they sort this out amongst themselves." "I understand," I assured him, trying to project confidence. "I was planning to keep her safe until everything calms down." "Do you really grasp the weight of your Duty? What if the winner poses a threat to her?" His question hung in the air, heavy with implication. "You keep her. Your Duty transforms into a lifelong obligation," he explained, his voice low and serious. "It hasn't happened in centuries, but it has happened. You must tread very carefully.

Do you have legal representation?" "Yes." Well, that was a stretch. I had Hasan's lawyer, a man I reluctantly turned to when the situation grew dire. Thankfully, my life rarely called for legal intervention. But this? This was desperate. "I'll get him started on the paperwork needed for the human world as soon as I hang up." "It doesn't have to be real documentation. Just something to keep the human authorities off your back. What else do you have planned?" "To address the 'she's missing' issue, I'm going to reach out to the werewolves' council and request they announce that she's been found.

That should call off the search and allow me to maintain control over the city. They won't be foolish enough to think I can't protect her." "Don't let your confidence get the better of you. The Red River Fen Pack has a significant number of wolves-more than you might realize. The last count I heard was seventy-five. Now, this chaos might fracture them, but a werecat of your experience? You might manage to fend off five wolves, maybe ten if luck is on your side and you fight dirty. Twenty or thirty?

You're toast." "My Duty is to protect Kaelin Rowe, the daughter of the deposed Alpha of the Red River Fen Pack. I will fulfill my Duty, Lani. No matter the odds." I tried to infuse my words with as much conviction as I could muster. The logical choice would be to run. The sensible option would be to call Hasan and dump this entire mess into his ancient lap. But as I glanced at the little girl on the sofa, her small fingers still clutching that business card even in her dreams... Forget what's smart. A heavy silence enveloped the conversation.

I could hear Lani's breathing, a rhythmic attempt to maintain her composure. "Be safe, you crazy bitch. Call if you need backup-or a body bag. I'm sending you that wolf's number now." "I will. Thank you." I had just hung up when her message came through with the number. I reached out to the family lawyer first, detailing my call to Duty invoked by a minor. I needed every piece of information I could gather to make this situation legally sound in the eyes of humans. His response was immediate, which was typical of him. Though he was human, he worked in the world of monsters.

He had to be nocturnal to survive in our realm. Client privilege meant he wouldn't spill the beans to Hasan either. The last thing I needed was for him to show up and ignite a war that no one wanted or needed. Finally, I dialed the number Lani had provided. It rang twice before a quiet, weary voice answered. "Hello. This is the North American Werewolf Council's office. May I have your name?" "Hello, I'm Liora Voss, and I urgently need to speak with a wolf," I said, urgency spilling into my words. "Tang and claw to fang and claw.

Secure line, someone of importance." There was a brief, electronic beep. I had little hope of reaching someone significant, but it was worth a shot. "George of the Atlanta Pack speaking." "Are you important?" I asked without preamble. "I need to talk to someone involved in the turmoil in Texas." "Ha! That's rich. And who the hell are you supposed to be?" The wolf's voice dripped with lazy skepticism. "State your business, and I might consider it." "Listen here, you damn mutt.

I'm a fucking werecat called to Duty, and you're going to transfer this call to someone who matters right the hell now. NOW." "Look here, kitten, I don't care if you're the president of the United States. You're just a werecat, and you-" "Jesus Christ, I have the Duty of protecting the deposed Alpha's eleven-year-old human daughter," I snarled under my breath, my patience fraying. "You have three seconds to move your sorry ass, or you'll regret it." "Oh shit." "Oh shit is right, you mangy mitt." "One moment, Miss Voss." The abrupt correction came before I was put on hold. I nearly laughed.

He certainly wasn't the first werewolf I'd spoken to, and it always felt a bit hostile, even after eight hundred years of peace. "Liora Voss?" A deep, controlled voice came through the line, sending an inexplicable shiver down my spine. "I'm Elias, Alpha of the Atlanta Pack." Conclusion As the weight of my Duty settled heavily on my shoulders, a fierce determination ignited within me. I knew the stakes were higher than ever; I was not just protecting a child but safeguarding the fragile peace that hung in the balance amidst the brewing conflict of the werewolf packs.

Each decision I made resonated with potential consequences that could ripple through our world, yet I felt an unyielding resolve to stand my ground. The fear that had once gripped me began to transform into a fierce sense of purpose. I had chosen to embrace this challenge, to dive headfirst into the chaos for Kaelin's sake, and in that moment, I understood the true essence of my Duty. It was not merely an obligation; it was a calling that demanded courage and sacrifice, and I was ready to answer it.

With the line connecting to Elias, the Alpha of the Atlanta Pack, I felt a surge of hope amidst the uncertainty. I was no longer just a werecat caught in a turf war; I was Liora Voss, a protector armed with fierce loyalty and an unwavering commitment to do what was right. The journey ahead would not be easy, and the shadows of doubt would continue to whisper in my mind, but I would face them head-on. As I prepared to speak to Elias, I realized that my heart was no longer burdened by fear but fueled by the fierce love I felt for the girl asleep on my sofa.

With her life-and the safety of young Kaelin-hanging in the balance, Liora must navigate the treacherous waters of werewolf politics while keeping her own instincts sharp. Will she manage to convince Elias to ally with her, or will their conversation devolve into a power struggle that could endanger everything she holds dear?
