“You will never be loved, never be good enough for anyone! I loathe you, Annabel, and I will kill you just to prove my point. You are mine, and no one will ever touch what is mine.” I only whimper from the pain. “You will never be free. Never! Do you hear me?” His face is so close I can feel the breath on my face. He grabs my hair, yanking me back, so I have to look at him. “You are my wife, and I will never let you go!” Annabel needs to save her own life, but the only way she can do that is to flee her hopeless situation. After a frightfull incident where her heart stops, she finally finds the strength to do what she hasn't been able to do ever since she was sold to her husband Bane. She runs away. What happens when Annabel disappears for good, and instead becomes Allison in an attempt to hide from her abusive husband? Is it fate leading her to her family's old town of Marigold? Can she face her demons when her old life catches up to her? And how about when she discovers the world is not as ordinary as she thinks? The werewolf world may seem frightening, but something shifts when Allison meets her new Alpha, Blake. Can he keep her safe or will Bane drag her back to her miserable prison as he promised?
view moreTalia P.O.V.The red fog lessens around Tabs and I, but my anger has not diminished one tiny bit. We saw the trap coming, and we knew to stay away, but the thought of finding Allie was too great. That was not what I was angry about. I told my sister to stay back and let me go alone, so we could stay in touch via our twinlink, but she jumped in here with me at the last second. She left her mate and her child for me. No way I hell I will ever let her live that down. If it ever comes down to me or her family, it should always be her family that comes first! I know Tabs probably doesn’t see it that way, but still! I fucking told her.The fog leaves us completely, and Tabatha immediately hugs me close. She can feel my anger through our twinlink, and she knows it’s directed at her. “You were supposed to stay back!” I scold her, but she shakes her head. “I tried, Tal, but the moment you were being transported a backup spell took place and hauled me with you. I had no choice. She wanted us
Blake P.O.V.I rub my face as there is a knock on the office door. I look up to see Alpha Nicholas with baby Caspian in his arms. Behind him is Elira, who asks if there is anything she can do? “I’ll mindlink you when Caspian needs a nap. Right now you are free to get some rest. I’m sorry for all the inconvenience Elira. Tell Mindy she can come in here with Athena as well, so she can get some rest and food and such too.” She bows to me, closing the door behind her. Caspian seems so content in his uncle’s arms, and I have to say seeing Alpha Nicholas so out of comfortable waters makes me feel kinda smug. “So, you said we need to talk?” I ask seriously, gesturing for him to sit down. He seems like an entirely different man now. No fidgeting, no flickering eyes, no outburst. Just slightly panic because of the baby I assume. Maybe worry for his mate. Who knows. “Yeah, I experienced something very weird while I was sleeping.” He says, sitting down. There’s a knock on the door, and I hold
Nicholas P.O.V.The dream is vivid, but I know it’s a dream. Ruby in a cell with Alpha Allie. She must be so scared. Although she doesn’t look like it. My dream self landed in the room; it’s spacious, with high windows and a few steps down into the room from the entrance door. It has four cells. Ruby and Alpha Allie are in one of them, both with a look of grim determination. “For the last time, ladies. Corporate and be good little bitches, or suffer the consequences.” A low, demanding, male, growling voice says from the shadows in the hallway. It’s night out, so the only light in the room is the one over some cabinets close to the door and the ones in the cells, making it perfect for people to lurk in the shadows. “And for the last time, Bane. We are not going to be in different cells. Keep sending men in here, and we’ll keep sending them out bleeding or dead.” Alpha Allie says, crossing arms. The man in the shadows lunges forward and bangs against the bars with an angry roar.“You
Allison P.O.V.I had a feeling, and sadly that feeling was right. Fortunately I discovered that asshat had miscounted and I could mindlink Ruby to keep her face out of sight and not show feelings of any kind. Especially not fear. First thing I tried was to mindlink Blake, which didn’t work of course, not that I actually thought it would, but one could hope. So this was a nice little gift. Thank you Bane. “BANE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” Caitlyn screams, running into the place where we’re being detained. She looks at me with wide eyes, her anger and surprise clear as day. So, Bane did not disclose his intention with her either. Mhhm that’s interesting. Something to save for later. “What do you mean ‘what have I done’?” He asks back with a scowl, crossing his arms. Caitlyn points at me with a white finger, her lips pursed. “That?!” She sneers, obviously disagreeing with his actions in kidnapping me. I don’t know whether to feel offended or relieved that not all our enemies want me to them
Bane P.O.V.The night air is crisp and silent. People are sleeping in the house, barracks and tents all around me. I can’t sleep. I know what tomorrow holds, and I feel my nerves get the best of me. I fucking hope those cunts can do their jobs and get Annabel into the trap. I would rather be there myself to lay it, but I know I can’t be caught near the packs unless I want to be dead faster than Caitlyn loses her temper.I hear boots on the ground behind me. It’s not unusual. People who can’t sleep will often come here to overlook the landscape in the moonlight. Caitlyn and her posse are not one of them. They hate the moon. Something about it makes them hiss like vampires, but I know that is not what is wrong with them. I’ll have to figure out this secret. The boots stop behind me. I roll my eyes. They are probably going to either sit down, or stand there in silence until they think I’ll cave. “Sir, we got news from the packs.” The voice behind me says, and I sigh. Ah. He is one of t
Talia P.O.V. “We just can’t catch a fucking break.” I tell Neptune as he helps me go through Ruby’s things to find something I can use as focus to go get Alpha Nicholas. If he has indeed been cursed, it will explain the weird behaviour, and hopefully he’ll get back to his normal, rational, self when we get rid of it, but it also means that Celine is working with Caitlyn and Bane. “Tell me about it, babe.” He says, holding up a piece of clothes. I shake my head and he puts it down, looking through more stuff. Not that she brought much, but it has to be very specific and closely attached to the Alpha. “I can’t believe Allie got kidnapped again, and Ruby with her.” Neptune continues, and I nod, eyeing a necklace I found in a pocket of the duffle bag. “I know. Blake must be freaking out, but he is keeping it well together.” I answer, picking up the necklace just as we hear a roar and a crash of porcelain on a wall. “Nevermind.” I utter, looking to the hallway through the open door.
