That night, Lucien finally explained.
We sat inside a quiet stone hall.
"You triggered an Alpha submission wave."
"That sounds bad."
"It's unheard of."
Great.
"What does it mean?"
Lucien studied me carefully.
"There are legends."
I sighed.
"Of course there are."
"About the First Luna."
My heart skipped.
"The original mate of the first Alpha."
"And?"
"She had the power to command every wolf."
Silence filled the room.
Then I laughed nervously.
"You think that's me?"
Lucien didn't laugh.
"That mark says it might be."
My stomach dropped.
"That's impossible."
"Maybe."
Then he leaned forward slightly.
"But every Alpha felt your power tonight."
I swallowed.
"That explains Kaiden."
Lucien nodded.
"He's not the only one coming."
"What do you mean?"
Lucien's expression turned serious.
"Word is spreading."
"How bad?"
He gave a small smile.
"Very."
