Jordan accompanied me to Twoset to pack up my belongings since I am moving to Musicon. I nominated Hilary as the new Beta, and Brett and Eddy told me they would keep Ray as Delta.

When I was packing, I heard my parents arguing. Ems in Gold Coast, Belle and I in Musicon. Either way, they will need to move, but they wanted to deliberate. Dad wants to go to Gold Coast, to support Ems as he trains for becoming alpha, but Mom wants to move to Musicon because Belle is pregnant.

Eventually, the heated debate came to an end, just as I began zipping up the suitcases. I could hear my dad still sulking as my mom smacked him and called him a "muttonhead". My parents have decided to stay in Musicon until Belle has her pups, visiting Ems every week when he moves to Gold Coast. After that, they will move to Gold Coast. I shook my head. Something else must be going on!

"That argument was epic," Jordan says, as he zips up the final suitcase. 
"Jordan," I spin around, turning to directly face him, "this is no laughing matter. My parents have rarely argued, and the last one was when Isabelle was born. I was not even a thing in their last argument. Get your guts 'n' guns ready for my dad, he can be some obdurate jerk when he is mad."
"Also, what's up with 'muttonhead'?"
"Apparently, 'muttonhead' is the highest level of disrespect between my parents. My mom insulting my dad like that does not bode well. Mark my words, Jordan Zhang."

Jordan finds this very amusing, while I do not. Together, we haul my suitcases to our car and drive back to Musicon.

Brett and Eddy are not on speaking terms. Their old pack, Nikorsrim, is pressuring them to visit them. "More like 'walk into the trap they set up so my dad can get our powers via some dark magic or something', according to Brett. They do not know what to do, despite their experience, so they decided to consult my grandfather for further action.

"Sara Lam? She's in my pack! Cressida, her daughter, was the one who questioned Alexine during the ceremony." Jordan exclaimed. A pack member had found this typed message taped to a patrol station door.

"Not questioning, she just wanted to clarify a general belief-" 

Another pack member, this time Lyndon, rushed in, out of breath, and handed us a square piece of paper. "Alpha, Luna, I found this when I was patrolling."

ems is A fun guy, but he Can be way too silly sometimes. I wish him good lucK with hIs alpha training! too baD i couldNot hAve him for myself. i would have been a fantastic luna.
now for my boss' message:
you did not rePly to my message? well too bad. that is terribly stupid of yOu aNd your mate and such a bad move on your grandfather's part to advise you not to reply. you must go to lunsolae of the previous location. if you do not, an attack on your pack is imminent and other packs will suffer too. you are to comply, otherwise i will take you by force. i will get to enJoy taking yoUr innocence and seeing you bow down to me. Laughable. Y15

"Never!" I exclaim. "He can't take my innocence anyway, because I don't have it. We now have our answer, Jordan, the mole is Duanna."

"Oh, and based on this, it must mean Emerson accepted Emmaline?" the Lyndon asked, looking intently at us.
