Chapter 3: Midnight Wish
Lily Carter POV
I clutched the book to my chest and paced my tiny house. My mind ran with a thousand thoughts.
"He knows," I whispered to myself. "Caleb knows about my mark."
The emergency howl had called all pack members to the main lodge—everyone except omegas, of course. We weren’t important enough for emergency talks.
I stared at the note again. "Meet me at the old library tonight at midnight."
Should I go? What if it was a trap? What if Luna had somehow gotten Caleb to trick me?
But deep down, I knew Caleb wasn’t like that. Of the three brothers, he was the one who actually seemed to see people others overlooked.
The clock showed only 8 PM. Four hours until midnight. Four hours to decide what to do.
I unwrapped my wrist again and gasped. The mark was changing. One of the three moons now glowed distinctly brighter than the others. What did that mean?
A sharp knock at my door made me jump. I quickly wrapped my wrist and hid the book under my pillow.
"Lily! Are you in there?" It was Max’s mother, sounding frantic.
