LOGINThen I see something I wasn’t expecting to see today: the Alpha Prince and his brother arriving for the show.I reach over to get Sebastian’s attention, pointing to the werewolves we weren’t expecting. Sebastian curses, then looks up at the scarf wrapped around the lower half of my face, just like i
NatashaI try to relax into the trunk of the tree, but it’s hard to truly relax when I’m on a branch high up enough that a fall could kill me.“You have to sleep, Natasha. If you’re too tired to keep your eyes open tomorrow, you’re useless to us.”“I know,” I snap at Sebastian’s harsh words.This wi
Sebastian leads me to the left with a gentle hand on my hip.The six of us spread out in pairs, still able to see each other as we hide behind trees. Once we’re all in place, we peek around our trees to the horrific sight ahead.The lone werewolf sits on the ground with his back to us. Two humans li
NatashaI’m already in my training gear, so I use the time that Marion and Sebastian take to argue over whether or not I’m joining him to braid back my hair in a French braid. It takes much less time than it used to since it’s so short now.It’s Sebastian saying, “Please don’t make her prove she can

DiegoI’m lying on Ava’s bed when she enters her bedroom.She takes a moment when she sees me to process the sight, then quickly shuts the door behind her. “Get dressed,” she commands sharply. I do love it when she’s bossy.Not that I’m inclined to follow her instructions. I just enjoy the venom tha
OwenI don’t sleep. I need every second of my allotted time to find either one of the missing werewolves or one of the creatures responsible for the increasing disappearances.I look over the maps again, trying to see them with new eyes, but there are no patterns to the madness, just as there wasn’t
She squeezes around me more tightly, turning her head to the side to be heard.“You don’t have to do that. You can take me to my room now, and I won’t leave just like you asked. I’ll be safe behind the bespelled door.”My chest threatens to collapse, my blood running cold as I say, “You can’t go bac
