I felt someone tap my shoulder and I groaned. Urgh who the fuck is interrupting my sleep?!?!"Anaïs" Someone whispered and felt my shoulder being lightly shaken.I am going to kill someone today....I slowly opened my eyes and turned in the direction of the annoying ass person who had interrupted my sleep."Finally!" The person said and then jumped on me. I quickly shot up and flipped that person off the bed."CALLAN!" I screamed and the intruded groaned."Anaïs what the fuck?!" The intrudere screamed and starting getting up. I was about to pounce on them and attack but..."Sam?!!?" I said as I saw my best friend stand up, holding her head with her hand."What the fuck are you doing here" I said as I rushed towards her, worried I might've hit her too hard."I- my mom just told me you were successfully rescued and I wanted to see you and Alpha Callan said I could just go in this room" She said. I carefully led her towards the bed and sat her down."I'm sorry... I thought someone was at
"Callan I'm headed to the pack house" I mind linked my mate for the last time before I jumped forward and changed into my wolf, mid air.I sprinted forward, kicking back the ground as soon as my paws touched it. I kept on praying to the goddess in my mind again and again as I raced towards the pack house to protect our pack."Everybody is at the pack house. I'll meet you at the entrance" Callan's voice flowed into my head. His voice seemed sort of calm which helped calm me down as well.I slowed my pace as I neared the pack house, making sure to keep my eyes and ears open. Even if it wasn't an attack, the alarms are only sounded when there's danger so I had to be careful.As I came out of the forest and onto the path that led to the pack house, I could see Callan standing at the entrance. I sprinted off and skidded to a stop in front of him.Callan walked up to me and I quickly changed into my human skin and jogged up to him to meet him halfway."What is it?" I asked my voice laced wi
I stared at the girl wide eyed as did all the other people who were present in the sitting area."Paenoe's brother? That's the person responsible for the attacks right?" Callan asked as he stepped right next to me.The girl ignored his question and continued to look at me. Her disrespect almost made me roll my eyes in the presence of Callan's parents."Yes that's who she is talking about" I replied instead of the girl."But why would you help us?" I asked as I fixed my stare on the girl again.She looked around the room, rubbing her hands together clearly uncomfortable all of a sudden."We all know what happened....the people who died. I couldn't sleep at night thinking about them...thinking about all the people who died just so Paenoe could continue being Alpha" The girl said as I watched sadness fill her eyes.If this was a movie, I should've been overcome with that feeling which would make me feel what she was feeling... The feeling actors get in their gut and believe someone they
"You don't look so good Anaïs" I heard Callen say and turned around, momentarily diverting my attention from the report files of my expedition."I'm alright" I groaned out meekly and turned my attention back on the reports. The meeting of the leaders was in less than an hour and my stress levels kept on rising as time went by.After out confrontation with Melina, Callan and I went back to our room to prepare for the meeting. Callan was done announcing the meeting while I panicked about our current situation.Things were getting serious, more serious than they already have been. Now we had some girl telling us she can lead us to Kajokh, the man who killed so many of our kind. If she's telling the truth then we would have to risk a lot of lives if we want to end him but if she's not and it's a trap...then a lot more lives will be lost."Anaïs you're looking like a ghost, something is wrong. Let's go to the pack doctor, you're sick baby" Callan nagged again and I could suddenly feel irri
"Are you sure you want to do this? It seems like a huge risk" Alpha Freya asked as I laid down my plan in front of all the leaders.After the doctor gave me an all clear, Callan and I immediately set up a meeting in the conference room 2 so me and my team could talk about the findings of our expedition.The reactions were just as we expected. Suspected necromancy, True Leaders, Skeleton elders...everything was beyond our imagination. But I guess if werewolves and other supernatural creatures exist then why not necromancy? And talking skeletons?My stay in the hospital allowed me time to think about Melina, the hybrid girl. All we had to do was ask her where Kajokh was and see her out of our territory...what we do with the information she'll give us was on our shoulders.And I had made a decision, a decision which clearly did not sit well with my mate nor the rest of the pack leaders."It's the only way. We can't just ignore this. I know it's dangerous and idiotic to be honest but this
"Let's tell Alpha Kendrick to call the girl. We shouldn't waste anymore time" I said as I leaned forward and pecked Callan's lips."I love you Anaïs" Callan said and I smiled. If these truly were going to be our last days together then this is how I want to spend them. Kissing him and laughing with him."I love you too Caveman" I replied and smiled wider."The girl is here" I heard Alpha Kendrick say through the mindlink. Callan and I immediately contained ourselves as the leaders walked back into the conference room.I watched as Alpha Kendrick looked at Callan and then at me and smiled slightly. I nodded at him knowing he was content that Callan and I were on the same page.The guards came in holding the girl between them. She looked at no one else but me and bowed but I could see the scowl she was trying to hide. It was understandable that she would be angry..."We need you to tell us everything you know about Kajokh, where he is right now and anything that can help me get him" I t
"Anaïs" I turned my head to face the door as I watched my mate enter our room. Alpha Kendrick suggested that Callan and I should end the meeting of the leaders and let everybody take today off to deal with everything that we just found out."Everybody's back in their rooms?" I asked Callan and he nodded. Alpha Kendrick had asked him to personally escort Alpha Freya and Luna Jeda back to their rooms. They were the only leaders willing to stay away from their packs for so long. The rest had left for their packs right after the meeting."You're feeling alright? If you feel sick, I'll take you to the infirmary?" Callan asked as he sat down beside me on our bed."Just overwhelmed Callan" I said as I gave him a small smile."Well I'll go and get some food for you. You should eat and then sleep...if you want I can give a massage? Maybe that'll make you feel better or we can go for a run? Maybe it's your wolf that's-" I cut him off with a peck."I'm fine and I'm not just saying that for the s
I was all alone as I stood on a blood soaked battlefield and watched the bodies of my loved ones litter the field like fallen leaves in autumn.The scene twisted my heart and made it bleed because this was my worst nightmare. I was back in it again and I couldn't do anything.I watched as a cold, black shadow swept all over their bodies, one by one and sucked out their souls leaving their bodies looking ice cold.I hated this nightmare but like the thousand times I've suffered through it before, I had to silently wait for it to get over.So I kept on watching in silence as one by one the Black ghost sucked out their souls, feeling helpless and crushed.Like the last three times I woke up in my bed with a jolt. I was sweating all over and breathing hard. Oh I hate that nightmare...I've been seeing it constantly since I returned from Blue Eclipse. I knew it was just my fears and anxiety manifesting itself in the worst possible ways but I still couldn't get used to it.I slowly beckoned
