~Faye
I 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

~FayeAlden’s instructions lead me to a suburban home on the outskirts of the town.I stare down at the crinkled note in my hand, the address to this home printed in Alden’s neat handwriting. This is definitely it. It seems strange though, surrounded by neighbouring homes, this doesn’t seem like the torture house I pictured in my mind.Pushing through the ajar gate with my hip, I wander warily up to the door. I would assume this was a trap, if I didn't know Alden so well. He wouldn’t be stupid enough to risk the life of the Alpha of Independence.Alden answered the door the moment my fist touched the door.

~FayeGrasping the styrofoam cup in my hand, I splash it across T’s face.It shocks him awake, but the moment he attempts to sit up, he falls back onto the bed again. He looks almost paralysed, his muscles seizing, his facial expression seemingly the only part of him that is moving. I kneel on his bed beside him, shaking his shoulders gently, hoping for something.“T, we need to get out of here,” I mutter frantically, glancing over my shoulder as if that woman might walk in at any second.His dark eyes shift to mine, no longer blank and devoid of attention. He is focusing on me. It takes a few minutes for him to completely come back to his senses. However, he doesn&
