Chapter 40 – Messy
Emma’s P.O.V
Erik had been silent since Peter and Glen had taken him into the kitchen to speak privately. I was annoyed, no that was an understatement. All my life everyone had kept secrets from me, even Sera. Now, when I was the object of discussion it seemed almost worse. I sighed as I picked at the skin between my nails trying to understand why they would not want me in this conversation when Glen re-entered the lounge room.
“Emma…”
His voice trailed off as he ran a hand through his blonde hair.
“I’m sorry that we haven’t been as open with you as you would like… but it's important okay?”
His eyes were wide and pleading as if he hoped I would understand. I didn’t but I was done with this game, if they wanted to keep me in the dark so be it. I shrugged looking away from him out towards the window. Glen sighed, before changing the subject.
“So, Peter will be taking you and E

Sera’s P.O.VI flinched as Herman flashed a bright light into both my eyes, he had insisted on doing daily check-ups on me.“Hmmm.”He muttered before using an otoscope to check my ears.“Everything checking out Herman?”I asked nervously, I mean I didn’t want to be sick. Yet, if there was a physical reason my wolf had disappeared that would be a start to figuring out why? Herman grunted ‘so far’ as he continued. I sighed wondering if we would ever figure it all out.“Have the voices stopped?”“Yeah, it’s super quiet in my head now. Kind of lonely…”Herman nodded, sympathetically giving my shoulder a squeeze.“We’ll figure out why Star has seemingly vanished Sera, in the meantime, I want to figure out how you managed to claim Damon without the ability to turn.”He muttered something else under his breath before l
A Sacred Place Chapter 42 – Trapped (Again.)
Emma’s P.O.VI was in chains, again. My hands bound behind me this time making movement impossible, I had my face laying against the cold and hard dirt. Eyes closed, trying my best to seem asleep so my capture would leave me alone. I had thought my aunt Luci had been evil. She was nothing compared to these people. I had no clue how long I had been held here at this point, separated from Erik and Peter I could only guess what they had been through. I heard the unmistakable footsteps of the animal approaching me, like clockwork he would come around the same time. Part of me was thankful for his presence as it was the only contact I had, yet I knew if I moved or breathed the violence would be worse. He stopped just before my body, I heard him scoff in disgust as he dropped a metal bowl to the floor. Its loud clank causing me to recoil, he let out a gruff sound of approval before kicking me hard in the stomach. I coughed as he laughed.“Stupid leach. I wish Pau

Freya’s P.O.VCindy and I had been traveling for what seemed like months. I knew it had not really been that long but Cindy was slow. I suppose it was due to age, come to think of it I didn’t really know how old she was.“What?”Cindy snapped at me, her face had fallen with her fatigue and her patience was extra thin.“I was just wondering about your age…”She snorted at me before stopping to put her hands on her hips.“Are you calling me old?”I laughed as she stuck out her tongue at me.“Well, you never told me your age…”She stopped smiling and thought for a moment before smirking.“And I’m not telling you now. Come one we have somewhere to be.”She began walking briskly, well as brisk as an old woman can as I giggled to myself. Under any other circumstances, this would have been bliss, just spending time with the
A Sacred Place Chapter 44 – Betrayal
Sera’s P.O.VI sighed breathing heavily as I looked around my destroyed room, the hate and rage still itching to be realized. Paul’s pack had kidnapped Emma, my mother, and my father. All because the vampire Aamon needed my blood. I was yet again the cause of so much pain for my mother. It seemed I had been born for the sole purpose of torturing her. I stared at the broken glass that was once the French Glassdoor scattered on the floor, recoiling at the angry expression on my face. I didn’t even know who I was anymore. This whole time I had been here, being with Damon pretending everything was okay. Ignoring the fact I had not rescued Emma, that my parents had seemingly abandoned me. I wished I had been stronger, that I had protected Emma the way I should have. I failed her, I failed our mother and I was failing my father’s pack. Star had still not resurfaced, the pack members seemed to be kind but I couldn’t shake the sensation tha

Emma’s P.O.VI had been sneaking around Pauls's make sift campsite for hours trying to locate the keys to the other cells. I was surprised no one had smelt me or seen me, but in their defense, they all seemed to be very busy preparing for something. I assumed it had to do something with Michelle being here, I mean it didn’t take a genius to figure it out. I had to warn Sera but I needed to save my Uncle, Glen’s partner Peter first. I didn’t notice the wolf that was staring at me as I hid behind a flapping tent, my eyes connected with Aaron’s as my heart fluttered in fear. He stared at me for an uncomfortably long time before sighing and walking over to me.“I am not going to ask how you got out, but a word of advice? Run. Run fast.”His voice was a fast whisper as I felt a warmth fill me at his kindness. I looked at him sadly,“I can’t, I have to save Peter too.”Aaron breathed a sigh of d
A Sacred Place Chapter 46 – Murder
Sera’s P.O.VI was surprised that I had been able to keep up with the pack in my human form, we were finally going to attack Paul. Finally, I would be able to rescue Emma and keep my promise to her and our mother.“Blood.”“Kill.”“Hunger.”The voices of those shadow serpents called out in my head again, seeming to awaken a fit of anger inside me I had long forgotten. Damon’s wolf Sam kept giving me uneasy glances as we ran, I knew he was worried. So much was happening with me that was questionable, and we still were unable to communicate telepathically. We should have been able to now I had marked him and yet, nothing. Herman had told me it might be due to Star not being able to communicate with me. I felt a wave of shame as I remembered fleeing him before. I wasn’t sure what had come over me, the sight of that needle… I just couldn’t let him drug me again. I knew he was trying to
A Sacred Place Chapter 47 – Greif
Damon’s P.O.VFor the third time, I felt my heart began to shatter as I felt Sera’s soul start to fade away, already in such a short time I had almost lost her again. I growled staring at her unconscious form laying on my bed. She seemed almost peaceful right now, her chest breathing steadily. I sighed deeply placing my head in my hands thinking back to the state I had found her in, slumped over next to Luna Freya. Her heartbeat so slow, I had almost been too late. I had been overcome in my rage at Paul, tempted into torturing him for his last few moments alive as punishment for even daring to harm my love. I hadn’t even noticed that she had vanished from sight. Earl had thankfully arrived a day earlier thanks to my father’s request managing to stabilize her quickly. My heart hurt knowing how much I would have to explain to her when she awoke, her mother was dead. Her sister Emma had disappeared, and her father… Alpha Erik… he was loose i
A Sacred Place Chapter 48 – Hatred
Emma’s P.O.VI stood, staring blankly ahead a strange hollowness making it hard to concentrate on anything. Sera’s dried blood hung thick against my skin, I didn’t know what I hated more. The metallic taste or the fact that I liked it. A cold hand grasped my shoulder firmly as that sick voice whispered.“It’s time to go little princess”I felt my face contort to disgust as I attempted to shake off his hold, my eyes flickering between Sera’s slumped body and my mother's. He chuckled before pulling me away with him violently.“Now, now dear. It had to be done.”I refused to look at him, the man that was my grandfather didn’t exist. This thing that claimed to be him was sick, evil, and twisted. He chuckled as I clenched my fists thinking about how good it would feel to see his eyes drain of life as mothers had.“Now Emma, that’s no way to think about your elders. Besides, y
