“I thought that perhaps you would give me a few more moments to stretch my legs,” T muses, glaring past the cell door I hold open.
If he seriously thinks I’m about to let a prisoner roam around, he’s insane.
“You cell has plenty of room,” I mutter, waving my hand to motion him in. Cal isn’t here to assist me if T decides to retaliate, however, I would be happy to donate to his wound fund if he keeps being stubborn. I want answers, but I won’t feel safe about discussing them until he is locked tightly in his cell with no room to escape.
Unless of course, he decides to use whatever voodoo magic that tricked me last time. The exact magic he isn&

~Faye“Here we are again,” I muse, sitting back in the chair as I sip my tea.Cal’s soft brown eyes meet mine in the mirror. “At least this time, it’s for me.”The Ceremony is tonight, where the Moon Goddess will appear in her physical form to grant my annual wish. I’m never nervous for these, as I wish for the same thing every year. This year, however, since this morning, my hands haven’t stopped shaking, and my mind hasn’t wandered off T.What is his plan for tonight? He better be considering being chained up to the wall, because that’s his reality.“I still don’t

~Faye“Who in the world is Tayten?” I question, fingers brushing over the words on the page.Cal gently takes the book from my hand, placing it on his lap to look at. The book looks old, but preserved. My mind spins at all the possibilities this could lead to, however, my mind is stuck on what the book actually is. There are no words in the entire book aside from this one passage.As if he could read my mind, Cal spoke. “I think this is used to communicate.”“But with who? And why?” I ask, exasperated, as if Cal would magically have the answers to all my questions.

~FayeI don’t know what to think. Who to trust.I’ve locked myself in my office so no one can reach me. As the Alpha, I need to make an executive decision on what is about to happen next. Jury came to the conclusion, for whatever reason, that T was innocent. I’m not sure how it happened, if they were influenced by Fate, or if it is really true.That he is being controlled by someone who is of higher power. If he is truly telling the truth, then Cal is behind everything.The worst part is, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.Cal has been at my side

~TI can see the strength of her mental façade stripping away.The weaknesses she prides herself on keeping hidden away are creeping through in the form of dark shadows. She’s meant to be the perfect picture of an Alpha; strong and fearsome. She hasn’t yet accepted that it isn’t her. She’s the soft, kind Alpha everyone appreciates. If only she wasn’t blind to it.Having wiped her tears from under her eyes, she stands, taking the chains with her. There is something too incredible for words in her eyes every time I meet them. Beyond the sheen of luminous emerald green, there is a sense of compassion, of understanding that I will never be able to reach.That she would never

~FayeI haven’t seen T in two days. There’s been no point until now.For the living quarters he had requested, I had chosen a room far from mine, on the other end of the estate. It’s a lovely place upstairs that gives him a view over the forest. It’s my silent protest to him that he will never return there, to freedom. At least not without some kind of consequence for everything that he has done.Even if I’m not exactly sure what he has done. Terrorize me to no end can begin it all.Despite hating his guts, I knock on the door for decency. Then I proceed to unlock it, reminding myself of the

~FayeMy orders to the guard come out in a shaky mess, telling him get as many guards on the scene, as many paramedics as possible. All the while, T simply watches.“I warned you,” he breathes, as the guards leaves, and my attention returns to him.I’m not sure how I’m handling myself right now, considering how much of a mess I am on the inside. Soon, the guards will be back with a count of those who are dead, from something I can’t comprehend right now. Despite my mind crumbling from within, I keep my expression neutral, and my back straight.T needs to know I’m in control.“H

~FayeI can’t explain why, but hearing that hit me right in the chest.Tayten is plain beautiful. She has the same natural, foreign beauty T has, that has intrigued me the entire time he has been here. When I look at this stranger in front of me, I see her and T being perfect for each other, possibly even being mates. The thought of that, no matter how much I dispute it, has gotten under my skin, and now I can’t ignore it.“We can bring you inside, to see him,” I say, my voice shaking slightly, and not from fear of her. I hate myself for feeling this way. T would simply laugh at me for even considering unwanted feelings coming in.I’ve fallen right into his plan.

~FayeT’s admission stunned me.No name, no hint, nothing. Yet still, it shocked me into silence. The last thing I expected T to do was admit his love for someone right in front of me as if it means nothing to him. I want to ask who it is, or why he is here, rather than with them, but instead, I’m gaping at him, unsure of what I can say without seeming too interesting.“What?” T questions, pulling the sheets off his legs. “Surprised I have real feelings?”I swallow uncomfortably, shoving a piece of hair behind my ear. I’ve lost my bearings, and it’s only until I get them back that I can speak properly.
