[Mason’s POV]I sat on the couch with a steaming mug of god knew what in my hand. After being ushered inside, Nigel insisted that I should drink this, since I knew the damned shaman was usually right about whatever he said.Lifting it to my lips, I grimaced as the tart liquid leaked into my mouth and down my throat. Ugh, whatever it was must have been made from one of the most sour plants on earth. Maybe this was just some damn trick."Drink it all." Nigel commanded, coming to sit down beside me."Where’s the others?" I asked, taking another sip of the god-awful concoction.The last I saw of my younger self and Killian, they were following both Nigel and Asher to Nigel’s office about some experiment that Asher was excited about. I had figured that they wouldn’t find it as interesting as Asher did, but I guess I was wrong."I asked Asher to keep them occupied." Nigel explained."Why?" I asked, going on the defense immediately. "Are you going to lay into me about time travelling and fuc
[Danica’s POV]I sat at the table with Bella and Chris while they nit-picked over my not eating. Since earlier, both Masons and Killian had been gone. Despite my asking what exactly they were up to, they wouldn’t say, and I was regretting trusting them enough to not push any further."Danica," Bella sighed, pushing some fruit my way. "You’re eating for two now. You’d do well to remember that. ""I know." I huffed, eyeing her offer. "But I’m really not hungry."Rolling her eyes, Bella shot Chris a look as if saying "help me here," but before he could even try, Mason’s manic energy slammed into me like a ton of bricks. "Mason!" I gasped, jumping to my feet and rushing out of the room and towards the grounds."Danica!" Bella yelled from behind me. "What’s going on?""You need to be careful!" Chris chimed. "If you get hurt, Mason is going to kill us all!""It’s Mason!" I explained, shoving the door that was keeping me from him wide open.Squinting through the daylight that suddenly assau
[Danica’s POV]I didn’t even have the chance to close the bathroom door behind me before Mason was tugging at my clothes. Shivering with delight, I lifted my arms as he pulled at my shirt, allowing him to remove it with ease. Once he threw it to the side, he began to work on my pants until I was left standing in nothing but my bra and thong."That was quite the switch." I pointed out.Licking my lips, I watched him pull his shirt over his head, mussing his golden blonde hair and revealing his perfect chest and torso. Dammit, he was sexy. Gasping, I found myself being lifted onto the sink as Mason’s hungry lips met mine."Less talking." He murmured, using his tongue to push my mouth apart. "More action."Giggling, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Well, if that was what made him feel better, I supposed I could oblige.However, before we could go any further, a loud bang sounded from the door. Instead of stopping, Mason continued to push, letting his hands trail
[Mason’s POV]I kept my distance as Danica sobbed over her friend. I had to admit that, even though I had my doubts about Amy, especially after what she did, I was happy that she ended up not betraying Danica’s trust."Do Greg and Chase know that you’ve made your decision?" Danica asked, wiping away her tears."No," Amy admitted, "but I made this decision on my own."Nodding, Danica pulled Amy into a hug again and whispered something so low that I couldn’t hear it.Deciding to leave the two alone for a bit, I made my way out of the room to find Heather and Killian chatting in the hall beyond."Well, well," I smirked, taking in their close proximity. "What is going on here?"Snapping, his gaze away from Heather, Killian frowned before attempting to shoo me away. However, that motion alone was enough to keep me standing in place."Do you have something you want to tell me?" I continued, "Like maybe there might be a new member of the family soon."This whole ordeal was wild. Not only was
[Danica’s POV]I listened intently as both Masons and Killian made their way down the hall. Only when I was sure that they weren’t in earshot did I turn my full attention to Amy and Heather.To my surprise, both were watching me curiously, as if I had grown a second head."What?" I asked, beginning to feel slightly embarrassed. "Why are you looking at me like that?""How is it?" Amy asked simply, seeming to relax now that it was just us."What?""Being a wolf." She huffed in annoyance. Frowning, I considered how exactly I was supposed to answer this. I only just unlocked my wolf, so I didn’t have much to go off of. Not to mention that since discovering that I wasn’t human, all I had encountered was pain and sorrow."I don’t know," I responded slowly. "It’s…different."Nodding, Amy considered my words before leaning back in her seat. Despite her seeming to warm up to me again, I knew that there was still a large wedge between us."Did you always know?" I asked, voicing the one questio
[Danica’s POV]I rushed forward, attacking the first rogue I could find. Despite my draw to them earlier on, now that I had unlocked my wolf, I no longer felt it, at least not in the way I did before. Now, I could control my movements, and I didn't lose myself.Realizing that maybe it was due to my father’s side all this time, I bit down as hard as I could on the rogue’s shoulder, causing a loud snarl to escape it.I gave it a yank and dodged its claws before landing on my paws. Spitting out the skin I managed to tear, I went in for the kill, wrapping my jaws around the rogue’s throat until I could feel a pop from its spine cracking.Jumping aside, I watched as it fell to the ground and didn’t move. Only when I was sure that it was dead did I turn my attention to the fray all around me.‘Next.’ Lizbeth purred.Turning, I found my next victim and began to move while it was distracted by one of my pack members.Leaping forward, I dug my claws into its back, tackling it to the ground, an
[Danica’s POV]I watched with wide eyes as my brother stepped over Chase’s lifeless body and slowly began to make his way towards me.Behind me, I could hear Amy fighting with Greg to attack, and I found myself praying that Greg could keep her back. This bastard wasn’t playing around, and I feared that even she wouldn’t be able to handle him."What do you want?" I growled, shifting over just enough so that I was the only one in my brother’s line of sight. "Why are you doing this?""Didn’t I say it earlier?" He asked, cocking his head to the side. "I want you to come with me. If you do that, no one else will have to die."As he spoke, images of all the fighting flashed across my mind, followed by a wave of dizziness."What was…""Didn’t you see?"I saw. I definitely saw. There was so much carnage on the grounds, but was that a flash of what would come if I didn’t cooperate, or is it now?Risking a glance, I took in the chaos around me. It was nothing like what I saw; was it a trick?Be
[Mason’s POV]I didn’t bother waiting for my younger self’s response before I was making my way towards the portal that was left open to the Dark Forest pack. If we wanted to end this, we would need their assistance."Where are you going now?" My younger self demanded, catching up with me. "Could you at least explain what you’re planning?""I’m going to find Dax." I huffed, "Have you gathered a team?""No, Chris is doing that." My younger self responded. "I was too damn worried that you might do something stupid to leave you alone."Rolling my eyes, I stopped in front of the shimmering portal that I was looking for. Lifting a hand, I motioned for my younger self to follow me before stepping through and finding myself standing in the darklands."Come on." I called over my shoulder to my younger self before beginning to move. "We can’t waste any time.""And when we get them to help, do you even know where to go?" My younger self continued."Amy and Greg do." I snapped in irritation. "If
