"Dr. Jefferson Beta Female Nyla has came to see you."

Carson sat up and straighted his coat. "Okay bring her in."

Nyla entered the office and glanced around. Carson seemed to have a few scratches on his face along with a with a deep cut along his arm. Even so he smiled at her brightly. "Carson." Nyla noticed Carson's tired look. "How are you?"

Carson shrugged with a smile. "I've been better."

"Of course."

Silence stood between the two as they stared at each other. Nyla didn't know what to say, but she felt strongly guilty for him. Her marriage affairs caused him to get injured.

"Wil your arm be alright?"

Carson looked at the long cut Wayne slashed against his arm after he blocked Wayne's attack with it.

"I prescribed myself some medicine and after a few stitches it'll heal."

"That's good."

The two stared at each other again silently. The awkward tension made Carson finally unable to take it.

"About what I said... did you think about it?"

"I don't know Carson."

Carson sat back in his chair. "What is it you don't know?"

Nyla nervously pulled on the bottom of her locks. "I don't know if- if I feel the same as you Carson."

"Then what do you feel?"

"I feel something I just- I don't know-

"Do you hate that I kissed you?"

Nyla quickly shook her head. "No."

Carson then got up and poked her forhead. "Then don't worry too much on how you feel. 4 months is when you divorce right?"

Carson saw the confusion on Nyla's face and explained. "The whole pack knows by now."

"Ah."

"So in four months, give me an answer then okay?"

Nyla looked at Carson and saw a smile that reflected through his glasses. "Okay."

But Nyla felt her heart ache as she thought.

I still love Wayne too. Is this really okay?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You really didn't have to do this."

Wayne shrugged as he placed the cups on the table.

"I know I just-" Wayne looked at Nyla. "I just feel like I should."

"Mhm."

Nyla said as she sat at the table and stared at the food. She's not gonna lie and say she doesn't feel uncomfortable. The man she's married for nearly 5 years has almost always seemed a stranger to her. Seeing him trying to change that makes her a little anxious.

"Do you like the food?"

"Huh?"

Nyla then looked back down at the food and snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh yea I like it alot! Did you- did you make it?"

"No."

"Good."

The two stared at each other and Nyla blushed after she blurted that out. "I mean- Wayne- have you seen your cooking?"

Wayne smiled lightly and nodded. "Yea I wouldn't even trust myself in the kitchen."

"I'm pretty sure even the ingredients don't trust you in the kitchen."

Wayne rolled his eyes. "Yea yea I get your point."

Nyla giggled as she remembered the "cake" he tried making this morning. "How did you even make it to stick up for so long?"

Wayne didn't say anything and just smiled as he watched Nyla ramble on and laugh at the mess he made this morning.

At least this is nice.

After a while Nyla calmed down and noticed how silent it was. "Um sorry did I talk too much?"

Wayne shook his head. "No no no it was nice listening to you."

"Thanks."

The two of them sat in silence a bit as they both fiddled with their food.

"So, you and Carson?"

Nyla bit her lip. "We aren't dating or anything."

Wayne shook his head. "I know that, you aren't that type to do that during marriage."

Nyla nodded as Wayne continued. "He likes you."

"I know."

Wayne balled a fist under the table. "Do you... do you like him?"

"No."

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, at least I don't know. I feel confused."

Wayne felt like banging his head on the table. Leave it to Nyla to make him so confused and frustrated on how he should feel.

"I told him I'll let him know after a while. "

Wayne felt his heart crack but he still calmly smiled. "Whatever you choose I support you Nyla."

Nyla genuinely give him a smile. "Thank you."

Wayne felt another piece of his heart break on the thought of letting Nyla be with another man but at the same time- he felt relief.

At least she'll be happy.

His wolf, Wade, whimpered at the thought.

I don't want her to go. I'll miss her and Nora.

Wayne changed the subject to avoid feeling too emotional.

I don't want to think about it.

"Nyla."

Nyla looked up from her plate. "Yes?"

"If- if it was possible to get back at Yash. Would you allow it?"

Nyla stared at Wayne blankly. He never been direct on the incident so it took her a minute to process her response. She thought for a moment. Yash put her through so much trauma but does she really want him to pay?

"NO PLEASE!!"

YOU ARE MINE TONIGHT NYLA!"

"Yes." Wayne looked up to see unbridled resentment in Nyla's eyes. "He should suffer."

Wayne nodded as he drunk his wine. "Good."

"Oh my God?! have you heard what's happening in the LockHart Pack?"

"The council is ALLOWING it?!"

"This is crazy?!"

"No way this is happening?!"

Luna Polla walked into her husband office anxiously. Bursting through the door she slammed the document on the table.

"Francis did you-

"Yes. I got the same one."

Alpha Francis looked at the paper in his hands. Gravely he rubbed his temples as he stared at what was written on the paper.

Gamma Gabriel shook his head as he read the document in his hand wide eyed with his wife beside him.

"Is this even possible?"

Beta Yavis looked at the document in his hand with a chuckle as he leaned against a tree. Staring up at the sky a wild grin spread across his lips.

"It seems like the flow of power will change."

"Why are you asking me this?"

Nyla watched a smile bloom on his face. His eyes shone with adrenaline and his canines extended from his mouth.

"The council approves."
