Chapter 85
“I’m not sure, my love,” I whispered, feeling unsure as I took her hand in mine as we laid there just looking at each other. “I think that might be why they are so intent on getting you back… You’re a true Lycan. The newly created Lycans might be feeling resentful toward Adrian and Kinsley and would need a true leader, which would be you. You were born Lycan, and a leadership role of that sort would fit you perfectly.
“No,” She said firmly, refusing to look at me. “I am not made to be a leader. I don’t even think I’m fit to be a Luna of any sort, let alone your Luna. No one in their right mind would want me to be a leader of any sort.”
“Gracie, you are beyond powerful. You have endured more than anyone should ever have to. You should embrace your strength and who you are.”
She stood up, taking me by surprise, and I sat up wondering what just happened.
“I am not meant to be a leader.” She repeated, her voice shaking with something I didn’t understand. “I’m going to get breakfast. I’ll see you later.”
And then she was gone. I sighed. I didn’t know what I had done wrong, but Leon and Sawyer’s past words of be patient with her were screaming at me and my wolf who was howling at the way she left.
I laid there for a while, waiting for her to come back, but she didn’t. So, I made my way down to the dining room, but she was long gone. I tried to ask if anyone had seen where she went, but no one seemed to know. I checked the garden because I knew it was her favorite place, but I didn’t see her there or any of her usual spots. I eventually mindlinked Sawyer to find her and keep an eye on things from a distance and made my way to my
office.
I attempted to get some work done for a while, every now and again dozing off at my
desk. I kept checking in with Sawyer on Grace, but he said she was avoiding everyone and
just sort of pacing.
When it was finally deemed late enough for dinner, I made my way up to the floor I shared with Grace and Sawyer. I knew with her being in the mood she was in, she wouldn’t want to eat downstairs, and it was no surprise when she walked in with her plate in her hand, mumbling to herself.

“Grace? Are you alright?” I asked.
She startled, looking up at me with wide eyes as her plate hit the counter and snapped right in her hands.
“Oh.” She looked down and then at me.
“Sorry, my love, I thought you realized I was here.” I told her as I got up to help with the
mess.
My heart began to race when I noticed her hand was bleeding. I grabbed her hand in mine and began to ask, “Are you al-”
But I didn’t finish my sentence as her hand began to heal itself immediately right before
our eyes.
She looked up at me, stunned, and I knew I mirrored her expression.
“I’ve never seen a wound heal like that.” I told her as I grabbed a piece of ceramic and cut my own hand, causing her to gasp, but I wasn’t worried as my skin began to close the same way hers had. “See? The healing is proof of your Alpha lineage, Grace. You are so much more than they ever wanted you to believe.”

maybe they need her or her blood in order to make the Lycans.
