I, Phera Evans, tapped my foot constantly as I waited for my turn to pass through the portal with Josh. Paperwork was required before crossing over to ensure human or wolf affiliations. As we waited, my anxiety crept back in, thinking about all that might have changed in the Red Moon Pack and my triplet packmates. When the guard called my name, he was unusually respectful and handed me my papers. Why the change in behavior? We were summoned to report to the alpha triplets.
When I received my paperwork, I asked the guard if there was anything else I needed to do. He simply nodded and allowed me to pass through the portal. As I entered the wolf multiverse, I felt a pressure on my head, and my senses heightened. The scene was familiar, but it had been eight years since I last visited. I spotted my parents waiting for me and was suddenly enveloped in a bone-crushing hug by my mom.
As we reunited, I introduced Josh to my parents, telling them that he was my boyfriend. My parents seemed surprised but friendly, welcoming him warmly. We rode in their car, and I couldn't help but notice the strange behavior of the guards. Finally, we arrived at the Red Moon Pack borders, and I felt my wolf stir inside me. The borders closed in, and I heard three familiar scents wafting through the air. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I heard the word "mate" echoing in my mind.
But my joy was short-lived. I realized that there were not one but three identical claims of "mate" at the front of the packhouse. My eyes locked onto the people who had destroyed me a decade ago – the alpha triplets.
