At twenty-five weeks pregnant, I was Wycliffe Pack's Luna when a Willowmere healer's note for another woman appeared among our household papers. She was twenty-eight weeks along. Edric—my husband and the pack's Alpha—blamed a careless scribe. That night, I watched him hide the parchment and read a letter signed only 'S.' The next day, I saw him escort a more heavily pregnant woman into Willowmere, then lie through our pack mind link and say he was at the council hall. I followed the trail to Westmere Manor, where a household roll finally named Sylvie Fenwick as the wife of Alpha Edric Wycliffe.
