Jacque asked, waiting to see if the Great Luna would now take her back to the present. “Not just yet. I think it is important that you see the consequences of your decisions. Though you may still end up with your mate, the consequences will be extreme. In your reality, when Fane challenged Lucas, they were the only two wolves that suffered the consequences. Lucas was the only wolf that forfeited his life. In this reality, that will not be the case. Not only will many more die but the risk of revealing yourselves to the human world becomes very real.” The Great Luna placed a hand on her shoulder and, in the blink of an eye, they were standing in Jacque’s room. Jen, Sally, and Jacque were all in various sprawled positions, all looking a tad worse for wear. “Okay, so a year and a half ago when you finally came clean about what Lucas was, I thought I’d seen it all,” Jen said as she stared up at the ceiling fan as it rotated hypnotically. “I was so very, very wrong.” Future Jacque nodded.
