alive. If she finds out that she is being held captive by wolves, they will have to kill her.” Leo said.

“I can’t let her die because of me!”

“Eros is a very dangerous wolf, no one really knows who the head of the mafia is. Some people think it’s him, that he’s more than just the underboss.” Leo added.

“Could the Beast of Greece actually be the mafia boss? I mean, he was at the club. Eros said the beast was watching me, maybe he wants me?”

“I wonder why he would go to such great lengths for you. You’re Alpha born that would start a war among packs.” Rocky said.

“Raven, which pack are you from?” Leo asked.

I paused for a moment and decided that I trusted them. “I’m from Crescent Moon Pack.”

“THE Crescent Moon Pack? As in the largest powerhouse pack in the world?” Rocky asked.

“You’re Alpha LaRue’s daughter?” Leo asked.

“Yes, I am.”

“Our Alpha Georgios sits on the shifter’s council with your father.” Leo said.

“I guess if anything happens to me, you’ll know how to contact my family.” I told them.

“Nothing is going to happen to you Raven. But, why didn’t you tell us sooner?” Rocky asked.

“I didn’t really think it was important and Kosta had warned me to lay low. Maybe Eros has figured out who I am and now he wants me to hurt my father.” I said.

“Shouldn’t we let him know, he’s got allies around the globe and we could probably get Angela back in no time.” Leo suggested.

“You don’t know my dad. I’m his only daughter of six children, he will bring me straight home.”

“Okay, so what’s the plan?” Rocky asked.

“I don’t know. I thought about finding Eros and trading Angela for me.”

“Are you crazy?” Leo asked.

“I’m an Alpha, I’ve been training since I was a pup, and I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.”

“Tricks?” Leo asked.

“I’m elemental.” I said.

“SHUT UP!” Rocky’s eyes were wide open in shock.

“Elementals still exist?” Leo asked confused.

He had a water cup sitting in front of him and I willed the water to splash him in the face. Rocky burst out laughing, and Leo looked down at the water dripping off his face to his shirt in shock.

“Elementals are descendants of the Moon Goddess herself Leo, of course they still exist, even if they are few and far between.” Rocky told him.

“So, water is your element?” He questioned.

“Yes, and Fire.” I said.

“I’ve never heard of a wolf that could control two elements.” Rocky said.

“There was a prophecy before I was born, that a wolf would eventually control all four elements and help win a great shifter war.” I told them.

“So, you’re thinking about trading yourself for Angela and then burning Eros?” Leo asked.

“Something like that, I don’t know. I’d like to find where they might be keeping her first and then consider an escape plan.”

“I’m in!” Leo said.

“Where do we start?” Rocky asked.

“We start at the Plaka district.”

It's been three days now, the police inspector interviewed me yesterday. We’ve been out every evening trying to find buildings associated with Eros where Angela might be kept. Rocky and I have been walking through the Plaka district and the Monastiraki district, with Leo following from a distance trying to pick up a tail that might be following us.

We were currently in the Plaka and had found a waitress at a local cafe who was a wolf. Rocky had inquired where we might be able to purchase some Evvie, which could be found on the black market to help wolves mask their scent. This was our cover up story for snooping around.

The waitress had informed us that it’s very difficult to find but we should try looking at Howling Dogs night club. We went to the Howling Dogs, but the doors were locked.

“It doesn’t open until later.” Rocky said.

“Actually, they’re closed until tomorrow, they’ve been setting up for the Dionysus festival.” Said a familiar voice from behind us.

“Niko, what are you doing here?” I asked.

“I’m wondering what you’re doing here. And why your friend is following you way back there?” He asked.

“That’s none of your business.” I replied.

“Third night in a row that you’ve been out wandering around. Are you looking for something or someone?” He raised a questioning eyebrow at me.

“Raven wants to mask her scent; we’re looking to buy herbs.” Rocky gave him our cover up line.

“From the Greek mafia? Can’t you just send her to your supplier? You’re masking your scent right now aren’t you, Beta?” He grinned at Rocky who looked like she was debating whether or not she wanted to punch him.

“Look Raven, you’re making it difficult for us to focus on Angela when we’re worried about your carelessness.” He said.

“Excuse me? My carelessness? How long does it take to find and save one single human? I can’t just sit around and do nothing.” I snapped back.

“We expect to have her in the next few days, there’s a lot of movement happening with the festival coming.” He told us.

“Wonderful, then we will go back to the dorm right now, come on Rocky.” I lied and just had another idea.

We walked back towards Leo and I noticed most places were already decorating and setting up for the three day festival. There’s no way Eros would miss the festival, we could return in costumes tomorrow, with so many people it would be hard for anyone to really pick up my scent.
