Amos' Point Of View Seize him!” A woman ordered again, as the men began to close in on me.I looked around me, and I was grossly outnumbered.I didn't know whether to run or fight; I didn't even know if escape was possible.“What do you want from me?” I asked calmly, looking at the woman who seemed to be their ring leader.As if I didn't know what all of this was about.“You hold the second key,” she said flatly, looking bored.“Hand it over and go your way,” she said quietly, stretching her hand towards me.“You think if I really did, you would be able to catch me?” I asked calmly, unfazed by her offer.Something flashed in her eyes, a look of uncertainty; it happened so fast I almost missed it.I took a deep breath. I still had hopes of turning things around.“What do you mean?” She asked curiously, looking confused.My assumption was right; she didn't know what the key looked like.Maya had made the mistake of sending her out blindly, a mistake that would cost her.“You don't know

Avery's Point Of View Morning came faster than usual. I didn't know if it was because I didn't get a wink of sleep or something else.They had all left the cave to me, giving me enough space to rest, but sleep was far from me.“Avery! It's Ashley, can I come in?” Her voice came from the opening of the cave.“Sure,” I managed to respond, still sitting at the same spot she had left me the day before.“You didn't sleep as well, I see,” she said calmly, seeming unsurprised to find me exactly as she had left me.“Why didn't you sleep, though?” I asked her curiously, my eyes piercing hers.“I am scared,” she admitted quietly, lowering her eyes.“We used to be a happy family, I used to have my father and brother, but I decided to play a little game, and it's costing us everything,” she whispered softly, tears welling up in her eyes.“I don't understand,” I said honestly, running my hand through my hair.“I knew…I knew from the moment you stepped into my house, I knew exactly who you were…”

Avery's Point of View “I shouldn't do this,” I said softly, my hands shaking. I opened the letter, but there was nothing written in it. I looked at it for a long time, almost as if I was lost in a trance. “Run!!!” A voice ordered, sending shivers down my spine. I looked around to see if anyone was there, but found no one. “Run!!! The voice came again, more urgent than before. And for some reason, I was convinced that I should listen, so I did. I ran out of the room the seer had told me to wait in straight to Ashley, praying she was still under the tree. “Wait,” I said desperately, making her halt in her tracks. I was out of breath, my hands shaking as I reached for her. “Let's go together,” I said calmly, my eyes filled with determination. She didn't say another word, just grabbed my hand, shifted to her werewolf form, threw me on her back, and ran. Faster than I have ever seen, almost too fast even for me. “Get down,” she said quietly, as her pace slowed to a halt. I

Avery's Point of View “There is no use fighting this, it's her destiny!” The seer’s words echoed in my mind again. Goosebumps covered my entire body, and I began to shake in genuine fear. I wanted to leave that place, run as fast and as far away from this mess as I could, but my legs didn't move. Instead, I began to analyze everything, my entire life. But most especially the time I spent in this city. I met a sweet and kind girl who helped me get a job and let me stay in her mansion. “Was it all planned? Why was it this way?” I asked myself calmly as I tried to make sense of everything. Now that I thought about it better, I realized that it was too easy. For someone who had struggled through life but was still dealt the worst hands. I had been stupid enough to think that something so good could happen easily. “Even the way the Smiths accepted me was suspicious,” I muttered quietly, forgetting the real danger in front of me. “Why don't you let her choose for her

Amos' Point Of View “Stop!” A familiar voice screamed as they ran after me. “When is this going to end?” I asked in frustration, as I searched for a hiding place. I finally found a corner with basil leaves, something these witches could not see. Running into the corner, I rubbed my body against the bed of basil leaves, hoping to mask my scent with it. “Where did he go?” One of my pursuers demanded angrily, stomping his foot on the ground. I smiled inwardly as I tried to steady my breathing, hoping to regain my composure. I had been on the run for a very long time, and it was becoming very frustrating. “My Avery,” I whispered softly, feeling the ache in my chest. She was scared and in danger, calling for me. But my wolf was too weak to answer; I had lost too much blood. “How did things get this bad?” I whispered angrily, clenching my fists. The plan had been to get Avery out of the pack and out of danger while we clear out the enemies. But who would have known that I was

Avery's Point Of View Her hands were still stretched out to me, waiting for me to take them. I looked around and back at the woman. “Take her hand,” Maya whispered calmly, nudging me gently. I knew what I wanted to do but for some reason I was hesitant. I had looked for the truth about my life and my situation but now it was staring me in the face. “Don't be afraid,” the strange woman whispered quietly, her hand still stretched out to me, as if she read my mind.And suddenly, I didn't know what I wanted anymore. I knew that if I took her hand my entire life would change but there was a pit in my stomach. A strange feeling of discomfort and fear. “Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it here and now, to the hearing of everyone,” I said firmly, raising my voice loud enough for everyone to hear. Gasps and whispers erupted from around us, formerly it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. This was my last resort, I didn't want to fall for the same trap again. “No,
