I’m out of the bed in record time.
“Why am I here?” I gasp, looking from the bed, to T, who slides out of bed, watching me warily. He’s clearly still plagued by sleep, while I’m shocked awake. He stares at me blearily, as if he can’t believe that I’m actually standing in his bedroom right now. I don’t blame him. I want to tear at my mind to stop whoever is controlling me.
T sweeps his hand through his bed mussed hair, blinking a few times before he concentrates on me again.
“That’s a great question,” he mutters, gaze wandering down my body. When I glance down, I see I’m wearing my nightdress, which is torn near the hip, and covere

~FayeI regret leaving T’s in the way I did.Not because I feel bad that I completely rejected a potential kiss, but because I had to wander back home with bare feet, in sweatpants that are much too long for my legs, with rain drizzling down at a constant pace. By the time I made it back home, I wanted to collapse into the shower, then into bed to sleep off every memory.Instead, I walk up the path to see a multitude of Guards standing post outside. When one sees me, she stands forward, bows her head, and waits for me to admit my confusion.“What’s going on?” I ask. Never do I have this many Guards out like this. Not in the rain, and not on a Sunday, when many are preparing for their weekly ritual

~FayeI stare the amount of work that spread across my desk, begging to be sifted through. My head falls straight into the paper, feeling the impact of the wood underneath on my forehead. My eyes burn bright crimson from staring under harsh light at scrawly handwriting. I’ve been here for what feels like hours, and I have a feeling it’s not going to get done in the next few hours.“You should really take a break.”I jump at the sound of a voice. I haven’t heard the sound of another person in hours. Actually, these past three weeks have been completely devoid of contact with anyone. So hearing a voice, especially familiar one feels so good.Cal stands at the doorframe. He’

~FayeI run. With him behind me, with a gun, I stand no chance, but regardless, I run for my life. As fast as I can, too.He pursues me, I can hear it. I can hear the thud against the ground as he chases after me. Why hasn’t he shot me yet? The thought pushes me to keep running, knowing I have no other choice but to keep as far from him as possible, even though it doesn’t look as if there is an end to this meadow in sight.All of a sudden, my foot falls into a slight dip in the ground, and I go plummeting toward the ground. I steel myself for a face full of dirt and grass, and the breath to be knocked out of my lungs.Instead, I fall straight through the ground, and into darkne

~FayeI’ve approached many difficult situations in my time as Alpha, but none amount of this.I’m standing at T’s doorstep, hand at the ready to knock on the door. However, I’m hesitating. It’s raining, but not a heavy kind of rain. It’s drizzly, the sky is grey, as it almost perfectly reflects my mood.I don’t want to be here.Come on Faye, you’re an Alpha, and no curly headed, irritatingly attractive guy who likes to let his garden grow out. My hand brushes away a wander vine that grows on the paint stripped banister as emphasis. Attempting to muster up enough courage, I breathe in deeply, and knock on the door.

~Faye“Have you forgiven me?”Ignoring him, I continue on my walk through the stacks, my eyes scanning for exactly what I’m looking for. I’m not sure what it is yet, but hopefully I will know when I see it. Cal follows behind me, right on my heels. If I had a little bit less self restraint, I may have turned around and slapped him.“I’m busy right now Cal,” I mutter irritably. In all honest, he’s the last person I want to see or talk to right now.“Come on,” he says, grabbing my arm. I flinch away from his grasp. “Faye.”I whirl around, holding the spot where

~Faye“Come to bed with me Faye.”I ignore the persistent complaints from T coming from the where he lays sprawled on the bed. He’s completely enveloped with this potion. I’m reading the instructions I was given on how to reverse this thing, passing while I do so, fingers shaking. In a single second, my entire life was brought to a halt, and turned around in the opposite direction.“Would you shut it, I’m trying to read this thing,” I mutter, trying to steady myself. Finally, at the bottom in the finest print, are small but imperative instructions on how to bring T out of this trance.“When’s our mat

~Faye“I need to get him back.”At this point, I’m pacing. Alden left in a mess of security and attempted words to soothe me. But I’m livid. I’m livid beyond belief, and I need to get T back. Not only because he is my mate, but because I have no idea of Alden’s intentions with him. For all I know, in this hour that has passed, Alden has killed T and gone on his way.The problem is, I don’t know what I’m dealing with. Alden has something against T that has not yet been shared with me. For all I know, it could be completely understandable. Or, it may not be.“Alpha, please calm down,” one of my guards soothes from the other side of my des

~FayeMy entire body is slumped against the wall, head in my hands.“You’re lying to me.”Alden sits across the room, slumped against the other side of the room to me. But the thoughts and emotions being processed in our minds is utterly different. He doesn’t seem fazed, simply waiting for me to get my bearings so we can move on with our conversation. And yet here I am, still not believing him.“I’m not,” Alden says softly. “And I think you are already aware of that, Faye.”Do I? A part of me thinks I am. The disappearing acts, the reaction of the Gaze Reader, the ominous aura
