Captain Armand Armas had told me yesterday he had a new assignment for us and that I would hear all about it when everyone involved was present the following day. I told him if he had a few minutes for me, as I really needed to tell someone about what we have been hiding for almost three years. He wasn't pleased with me when he heard the entire story, and truth be told, I can't blame him, but my men had asked me not to tell any of the Council-members. He told me he had to talk to the other Council-members about this, and I needed to come in an hour before the rest would arrive. My Squad knows we are receiving a new assignment, but Evander and Conri don't know that I told Armas about Umayza being their Mate or that we have all known since the day she left the Safe-house. I need his advice on what to do because Mylo and Kane are becoming a liability."Armand, take a seat," Armas says, and I see that all the other Council-members are present, but Vivyanna looks at me as if she wants to kick my ass. After I sit down, Vivyanna asks me if there is a chance Umayza might have overheard Conri and Evander. Her question surprises me, but I answer her truthfully, "No, she was fast asleep. The only place they discussed it was in the living room before they went to bed." Dayanah asks me if she was on her own in the living room after that but before they left Pack territory. I think back on what Conri and Evander had told me about that night and day; it takes me a few minutes to recall everything, and I tell her Umayza had her breakfast in the living room. "Evander was keeping an eye on her from outside, and he told me she was in the living room." Almost every Council-member is cussing, but Finlay is his usual calm self as he looks at me, "Captain, do you know what Night Shade Pack is known for?" He asks me, and I nod my head; I know how that Pack makes a living for themselves. "Do you know who the Alpha and Luna are at the moment?" Is his next question, and for a moment, I wonder why he is asking, but I tell him that I know who the Alpha and Luna of Night Shade Pack are. Dayanah and Vivyanna have a look on their faces I can't place, and I hope someone will start explaining soon. "Armand, Alpha Kendrick and Luna Calliope had two Daughters; you probably have heard of Wenonah," Finlay says, and I nod my head. "There is not much known about their youngest Daughter, Baylinn. It has nothing to do with them hiding her, but with the fact that she disappeared one day," he states. "I know Luna Calliope and her Daughter Wenonah have the gift of perception, but as far as I know, Wenonah never had any offspring, even though she has had three chosen Mates. I also know she is desperately looking for chosen Mate number four, but Wenonah is known for her temper and killing her Mates whenever he disappoints her," I say. "You are absolutely correct, but what would happen if Wenonah finds a fourth Mate and her Daughters don't possess the gift?" Finlay asks me, and I let his words run through my mind for a moment, but I just shrug my shoulders as I have no answer for him. "Wenonah will figure out that her Daughters don't possess the gift because there is already a female in their generation that possesses the gift, and that will unleash a manhunt for that female. I don't have to tell you that that will become a bloodbath. Luna Calliope is not too keen on Wenonah finding a fourth Mate that can give her Daughters because Calliope knows her Daughters will never possess the gift. I did some research a few years ago, and I found a pattern in the females that have the gift. Calliope is not Wenonah and Baylinn's birth mother; she raised them after her Sister killed herself when she found her Mate cheating on her, and they never told Wenonah or Baylinn. Both girls believe that they are Calliope's Pups. The pattern I found is something Calliope must have figured out as well. Why else take care of Pups that are not your own? Calliope has the gift, but her Mother didn't; it was Calliope's Aunt that had the gift, and with Calliope having the gift, her Daughter would never get the gift. A Daughter of Calliope's Sister would have the gift, and the Daughter without the gift would give birth to the next female with the gift," he explains. It is quiet for a few minutes before I ask him, "You mean that there is a female out there that possesses the gift of perception but is unaware of that?" He shakes his head, "No, she is very aware of her gift. She has known most of her life she had it. You might have heard of her; she is known around here as Little Ghost," he says, and I stare at him for a moment. We all have heard about her; she started her service with the King two years ago, and she can find answers no one else has been able to find.I let all the information Finlay gave me settle, and then Dayanah's question pops into mind, "Umayza is Little Ghost, and she has known all along that they are her Mates." I mumble.
