Dear Amelia,

Macey was still with me, and as I was coming to, I heard Devyn defending Macey to everyone who was calling her dangerous and evil. Macey heard everything, and when we woke up, she forgave him fully. Because she finally understood why I loved him so much. When he said he loved her just as much as he loved me, she believed it, and it made her happy.

After waking up, I ate and washed up. Though I was mostly thinking about all the memories I finally got back. Macey was right. I don’t think I could have handled any of the trauma myself. At least not back then. But I was a different person, and a lot stronger. And I wasn’t alone. So I decided to focus on the good.

I focused on my memories of Devyn, and how he used to give me butterflies when we would have our secret conversations. It made me realize that I was in love with him even back then. Before James, before the war, and before I knew what love felt like. Devyn was always in my heart. And I was finally able to give him his birthday present. He gave me mine too, from all those years ago, when we were just sixteen. We had matching gold and rose gold bracelets. Before you ask, Amelia, they are the same ones we wear today. As it turns out, he wanted me at the party because he wanted to officially ask me to be his girlfriend.

Devyn told me that they made a deal with Colton, and that Jason was still alive. As much as I wanted the details, I needed to find Tristan first. I missed him. Gaia, the Goddess, took me right to him. I thought Grace would be with him, but she wasn’t. Stella had already picked her up. Before leaving, Gaia told me to read the book she had given me. She also told me that Tristan and Grace learned a lot about their power while they were there. I was happy they were trained by a goddess.

Tristan showed me his powers and what he learned. I really enjoyed that, Millie. But the next day I had to get back to work. Farrah shared her memories so I could understand the deal with Colton. Devyn told me that Colton had yet to reach out, but he was sending the money Farrah demanded.

Sadie told me that Colton discovered the attachment she put on him. She dissolved it before he could get it exercised and still managed to get a bit of information from it. She learned that his army was large, and under some kind of spell. Colton also had a partner, but she couldn’t find out who it was. So we came up with a plan.

Sadie was disguised as Simone and went to meet Katrina. The goal was to convince her that Colton set her up. We’d either get information, her trust, or we’d kill her. All outcomes were good. While Sadie did that, I went to confront Jason. There was a reason why everyone pretended nothing happened after Devyn’s party, and Macey needed closure. I made sure she got it.

I’m not going to go into detail on how I got it, you can probably figure that out on your own. All I’ll say is that Macey played a big role in it. And she’s kind of a sadist.

I had a meeting after… well, when I had time. I called Jordan, Stella, Farrah and Devyn to my office. Stella didn’t show up, but everyone else did. I told them about the book Gaia gave me, and told them to make sure there were no translations from it. And then Jordan dropped more bad news.

Alphas all across the world were taking over smaller packs. Jordan and Stella both thought that it could be connected to Colton somehow. They thought that maybe they were pawns in his army and were under either a spell, or fae magic. Our only hope was to find answers in the book.
