Chapter 278

My gentle m ental inquiry out to Xander and Zane told me they were still gleefully running as their wolves.

They’d be gone for a while, which was good, because no matter how fast my fingers flew over the keyboard, I was having a hard time getting to where I needed to be.

The dark web wasn’t as easy to navigate as the regular internet.

The back door ways I’d found before when I was researching had since been mostly shut down, and the ones that weren’t led me all over to everywhere but where I wanted to go. Every rabbit hole I could imagine prompted me to dive into it while I searched with as many different questions as I could.

Finally, frustrated to the point of tears, I shut my laptop lid and pressed my fingertips against my eyes.

I took a few deep breaths.

I knew it wasn’t as easy as simply opening up a browser and navigating to a handy website that would let me download a cheerful brochure outlining all the ways hybrids were different. Even so, I couldn’t stop the simmering resentment getting ready to boil over as each link I clicked took me to junky sites, outdated message boards or, worst of all, gross porn.

I sent up a silent plea to the Moon Goddess for guidance.

Images formed and swirled in my mind as I did my best to tap into my Luna powers. They still seemed s distant sometimes. Like I could sense how to call on them, but they weren’t quite as responsive as I wanted

them to be.

I closed my eyes and tried hard to let the light of the Moon Goddess fill me. After what felt like an hour, I

opened them.

Only four minutes had passed.

Now I was even more frustrated. I got up to pace around the room. It had been so easy before! I’d reached

out to the Goddess, not really even knowing what, exactly, I was doing, and she’d answered by filling me with.

confidence. This time, I got nothing.

I tried again.

I added words. “Oh, Moon Goddess, I beseech you to give me a sign of what I should be doing to get the

information I’m seeking. Please fill me with your wisdom and the confidence to know what I’m doing.”

I settled myself again at the keyboard and waited with my fingers poised to type away. Slowly, slowly, I tapped out one word into the browser window. Then another. It wasn’t making much sense, and it wasn’t the search I wanted to make, but somehow it got me to something that looked right. Or close to right, anyway, and

that was a start.

Relief washed over me. For a few minutes, it had really felt like the Moon Goddess had abandoned me.

access her strength. She guided me to downloading a new browser and I also figured out how to mask my

location.

I’d never thought much about using computers before, but now it was like I’d spent my entire life learning how to hack into sites and message boards I would never have known existed a few months ago.

This stopped me. My heart raced, and my throat closed. A few months ago, I hadn’t had to know anything. like this. Now, whatever I could find out might save my daughter’s life.

And mine.

Quickly, I typed in another search string that I hoped would lead me to more information about hybrids. My precious Stella was growing so much faster than we could ever have expected. I wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything wrong with her.

“C’mon,” I muttered as I typed a little faster but got stalled by a site that was clearly designed as a decoy. “Someone out there has to know something.”

A surge of Alpha energy tickled the edges of my concentration. Xander? Or Mason?

I couldn’t be sure, only that whoever it was, he was getting a little agitated.

Probably Mason.

Not thinking much about it, I sent out a pulse of Luna energy. He’d been pretty clear earlier that he didn’t want me bothering him, and honestly, right now, I was just trying to get through as much of this dark web information as I could find before any of my mates got home.

I wasn’t worried that they’d be angry about it. I knew they wanted to find out as much as I did. B knew how protective all of them could be, and the last thing I needed was three di cks swinging arou in my way.

The Goddess was guiding me. She was showing me. And I would be the one to solve this puzzle… could get in just a little deeper.
