~Kena POV~

Anger flared up inside of me at the name of my brother. Alcione completely in control as my hands wrapped themselves around her throat. Ready to snap it. I felt the light of the moon burning through me.

Rieka growled, her hand on my arm. 'Don't let the full moon control you.' She warned. I took a deep breath, releasing the girl. 'Who helped you?' Rieka asked Sandy. Sandy her eyes widened, and I would be lying if this didn't surprise me either. What had I missed that Rieka hadn't?

'I-eh.. no one ma'am.' She stuttered.

Lie.

Rieka smirked. 'There are three people that are allowed to make food for the Alpha and the Luna. Since it wasn't them, it had to be someone that knows their way around the pack house,' She stated. She was right, only Anne, Lily or Dory were allowed to make our food. They mainly made the food for everyone but still.

'So I ask you again, who helped you?' Rieka her, slightly weaker aura, due to being my beta, hit the girl. It didn't affect her like mine did. But it worked.

'Kena,' Dani her voice rang through my head. I frowned, Dani seemed out of breath. I growled under my breath, 'What is it? Is Azalea alright?'

'Get your ass to the infirmary now.' She yelled through the link. My eyes met Rieka and as if she knew she nodded her head.

I rushed out of the office, making my way through the hall. I could hear the commotion from the infirmary. I barged through the door, 'What is going on?'

Taking in the sight, some nurses had shifted in their wolf form and others were struggling fighting the effects from the moon. Or at least I believed it was the moon. My eyes landing on Brynn, her eyes flickering from her Lycan back to her normal ones. One of the white doors barged open and a woman leaned heavily against the doorpost. Her eyes looked warily, the hospital gown hugging her curves. Within a few seconds Dani and Brynn stood in front of her. Trying to get her to calm down, 'Lola.. it is alright. Calm down. It's me Brynn.' Brynn her voice sounded softly and barely above a whisper. I could hear the slight sniff in her voice, indicating she was crying.

'What is going on?' I repeated, making my way over. Brynn growled involuntarily at me. Lola her eyes roamed over me, 'You tell me,' Dani growled, 'First, everyone started shifting. Then your old Lycan buddies, no offense, started waking up.'

'They all woke up?' I ran my hand through my messy hair. Alcione seemed unsure of the situation and frankly I knew the only person that could fix this was Azalea. 'Where is Azalea?'

But before I could answer, Chloe emerged from the room. Her gaze wild as if she was an beaten dog trapped in a corner. Dani raised her arms to try and hold her back in the room, within seconds Chloe shifted baring her canines. I stepped in front of Dani, 'Chloe breath, I understand you are confused. But we'll expl-'

'Queen?' She panted.

I frowned, eyeing the room behind me. The door Azalea was in was still closed. Chloe followed my eyes as she growled, leaning against the wall as she tried to make her way over. Protectiveness took over as I stepped in front of her once more. 'Stay where you are Chloe.' I warned in a low growl.

Her eyes flickered to her Lycan, even Lola growled this time. Brynn held her breath, 'Kena.. don't keep a Lycan from their queen..' She whispered. I growled, holding eye contact with Chloe. I don't care, I wasn't sure what they were planning with my mate being in this wild state. My eyes staring at the confused women behind Chloe. They all stared at their hands, their bodies, checking themselves for injury.

Dani growled pained, my eyes flickering to her. I knew the full moon was just a few minutes away. Besides it affecting her my mate was exposing them to her aura hard. 'Go Dani.. get Aita and go to the woods. It's alright.'

After a light hesitation, she left. Chloe growled loudly and the sound of glass breaking got my attention. I snapped my head in the direction, Chloe smirked as the women in the room jumped through the window aiming for the woods, before she followed. I growled, my eyes snapping to Brynn. My eyes softened, just like everyone else she was struggling to keep herself from shifting.

I could feel Alcione getting restless, pounding against the invisible wall. My headache growing and my body temperature rising quickly. 'What is going on?'

Her sweet voice startled me, without hesitation I pulled her flat against my chest. Kissing her forehead as I inhaled her scent. Her sweet chuckle brought me back to reality. 'It'll take a lot more to separate me from you.' She whispered.

I smiled, I loved this woman. Her new sassy, powerful aura got to me easily.

'Now what is going on?'

I scratched the back of my neck. 'You see, uhm.. you kind of forced everyone to shift. Which isn't too bad honestly and well you wo-.'

'Oh shit, Alora!' She interrupted me. Not even listening to my words as she rushed to the room of Alora. Her hospital gown not even covering her perfect ass and back. A growl escaped me, but I shoved Alcione back as I followed behind her. Brynn was holding on to the bed post as she bend it trying to fight her shift.

'Be careful little wolf.' I warned Azalea, not trusting a shifting Lycan. Azalea rolled her eyes as she stood next to Brynn. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

When she opened them again they were her gorgeous blue, glowing Lycan eyes. She looked incredibly hot right now, I bit my tongue as I fought back Alcione. Every emotion was heightened, the pounding headache returning. I knew the moon was at its highest point. It would only be a matter of time before Alcione would push me back completely. Let alone the Lycan gene that was giving Alcione an extra boost of confidence.

'Alora, I command you to shift.' Azalea commanded. The wave of power that hit me was immense as I fell to my knees. My head felt like it was being struck by thousands of daggers all at once. A loud growl escaped me as I pressed my hands against my temples. My vision becoming blurry, what was happening? I pressed my eyes shut, I could hear Azalea her voice vaguely, 'Don't fight it Kena..'

Alcione broke the barrier within seconds of the command. My body repositioning it as it hit me. The power surging through me and Azalea her warm hands removed mine from my head. My eyes snapped open, everything seemed so much more intense. My eyes fell on my hands, they had shifted in claws.

I couldn't help but stare at the white fur covering my body. I wasn't on all fours, I had shifted. Alcione howled happily in the back of my mind as she gave the control back.

My eyes met Azalea, who couldn't help but laugh at my dumbfounded expression. 'You look extremely hot in your white Lycan fur, my queen.' She purred softly in my ear.
