FAITHJuliana waved her hand, and I had to look away as dull green eyes appeared on the table before us. Jackson hummed in amusement, leaning closer to look at the glass jar and the contents inside. “I’ve blinded them. Even if a witch were to tap into their sight, they would not see anything.” Juliana said proudly, smirking as she sat back. “Good,” Kaiden said, glancing at me with uncertainty before regaining his composure. “It has been brought to my attention that Alpha Jones has sold Sable to Alpha Cain after she lost her sight and control of her magic.”My jaw dropped, and I sat up straighter in my chair. That couldn’t be possible. Only a couple of months ago, Ryan had rejected me because he loved my sister. No.No, he never said he loved her. Had he? She had said they were in love, but I couldn’t remember if he had ever said it. He had said that she was carrying his heir. Had my ex-husband really manipulated and impregnated my eighteen-year-old sister just for her power? It m
FAITH“I need you,” Kaiden said to me as we returned to the pack house. My eyes widened as he held my stare and handed the glass of blood to an excited Juliana beside him. She was bouncing on her toes like he had just brought her one of the greatest presents of her life and promptly disappeared with it.“You…” I said, unsure that I had heard him correctly. “You…need me.”Truth be told, I needed him too. I had been terrified seeing him surrounded by flames, trapped in the pack house with Gods only knows how many wolves and an army surrounding him. There had been a moment when Nova was trying to get me to leave, and I was worried that I had lost him or that I would. It felt impossible for him to escape that situation, and I wasn’t sure I would ever see him again. The need to touch him, to feel for myself that he was okay, was consuming, but I wasn’t sure I was ready for it.We had been doing this back and forth for weeks now. While I was wildly attracted to Kaiden on a primal level,
FAITH Shouting filled the air around us, and instinctively, I grabbed Nova’s forearm in shock. Only this time, she seemed to anticipate it and didn’t react. If anything, she leaned toward me as if to offer me whatever support she could.Kaiden pulled Ryan back inside through the broken window, and I felt disappointed that he didn’t let my previous mate fall the three stories.It would have been nice to have watched that happen, even if I couldn’t see the impact of him hitting the ground through the flames. Ryan deserved so much pain after what he had done to me, and I knew he would get what was coming to him, but it felt like justice that Kaiden, the man who saved me and helped me be able to feel again be the one to serve Ryan his punishment. “We need to get you back. Reinforcements are incoming.” Nova said, glancing from side to side. I was stunned to see several of our guards already heading back to us. They broke through the wall of fire as if they weren't there, not even flinch
KAIDEN The brightly lit, modern pack house was embarrassingly easy to break into, and I took down the guards in front of Ryan’s office within seconds. One managed to see us before I could get to him, though, and it was only a moment before an alarm sounded. That did nothing to stop me, but the sound of footsteps rushing through the house filled me with excitement because I could distinctly hear the difference between the wolves running to arm themselves and hide and the panicked steps of their Alpha. He had to have known that I would come for him one day. I turned, heading back down the hallway as my team cleared the area, dropping guards like flies as I followed Alpha Jones' scent straight to his room. I kicked the door open and found Ryan hunched over a chest at the foot of the bed. I charged at him just as he pulled out a gun, and just from the smell of it, I knew it had silver bullets. He didn't know silver didn't work on me the same as it did the rest of our kind, and it
FAITHI wasn’t sure why I had expected Kaiden to be stealthy. I should have known better.Instead, he marched right past the patrol, barely sparing them a second glance before he took care of them. He cut them down like butter, and I was stunned that anyone could do so much damage with such little effort. Guards on both sides of him grabbed the wolf carcasses, dragging the lifeless creatures behind them. I stepped carefully around the trail the bodies were leaving in the dirt before hurrying after Kaiden. “Buckle up, Buttercup,” Nova whispered to my right with a smile, but a whistle from ahead caught my attention, and I looked up just in time to see the front line of guards and Kaiden slink off into the trees. The sun hadn’t even gone down yet, and I was stunned at how easily they all vanished into the forest. I felt for Kaiden in our bond and was surprised to feel a rush of excitement from him. “What do we do? What's the plan?” I asked, continuing forward as the guards dragging
FAITH“Faith,” An annoyed voice whispered, and I groaned, moving the blanket up to my chin as I rolled over. “FAITH!” My eyes shot open as I sat up in bed, and a crack of pain erupted in my head. Nova fell back onto the floor as we both grabbed our heads, and I groaned as tears filled my eyes and my nose began to burn. “For a human, you have a hard-ass head!” Nova shouted, and I groaned, fighting the urge to cry as I blinked through the pain to glare at her before realizing she was right. There was no way I could have hurt her just now, but I still couldn’t feel my wolf. “For a wolf, you shouldn't have even felt that. Maybe you’re just becoming weak,” I groaned and leaned to the side quickly as she kicked her foot up in my direction from where she lay on the floor. “Why are you waking me?” “Because we are going on a trip.” She said, lowering her hand from her forehead and smiling up at me. “Why are you doing that?” I asked, and her eyebrows pulled together with confusion. “Doi
