Elara's POV

He steps toward Andrew, but I hold up a hand.

“Not in front of me.”

Kael’s eyes meet mine.

“Of course.”

He grabs Andrew by the ankle and starts dragging him toward the trees.

Andrew’s screams pierce the air, desperate and terrified.

“Elara! Elara, please! Don’t let him do this! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”

I watch him being dragged away, and I feel... nothing. No guilt, no regret, no second thoughts. Just a cold, empty satisfaction that justice is finally being served.

“Please!” Andrew

    I pushed him out of my mind and focused on what lay ahead of me. Crossing the threshold of my pack territory, I left the last bastion of safety and sunk into the unknown. It was there, without any light from the moon or stars and sheathed in complete darkness, that I found Colt waiting for me.After turning human, I emerged in my jeans and a dark red sweater, red hair falling limply at my shoulders. In a small clearing between the birch trees, Colt was waiting in black pants and black-and-white sneakers, the hood of his black sweater up. Even in the dark I could see the way he flexed and balled his fists. He looked unlike himself tonight, more like a stranger than a boy I knew growing up. Less like the cool entitled rich boy I knew him as, and more like a daunting foe waiting to strike me down.“I know the dragons are here,” I began.Colt took a step closer. “They won’t come out unless I tell them to.”“Are you gonna tell them after we finish talking?”“That depends how I feel,” said

    Reluctant as I was to tell Gavin, I had to or else it could cost me my life.“Don’t get mad at me,” I began over the phone that afternoon, “but I texted Colt.”The growl of my Alpha shook me to my bones. “You what?”“I texted him,” I said with rising defiance.“Why?” Gavin demanded, then lowered his voice. “Did he answer?”I ignored the first question. “Yeah, he wants to meet up and talk.”“You’d be walking into a death trap,” said Gavin. “What the fuck does he want to talk about?”“I know. Probably his feelings or something,” I said, neglecting to mention that I was the one who asked.“You have to be careful about that, Ais. The more of a bitch you are to him, the more it’s going to motivate him to side with David,” warned Gavin.I wandered around my bedroom, wondering if Muriel could hear the conversation. “I’m not planning to be a bitch. I just want to know how loyal he is to David.”“You think you could figure that out from meeting with him?”“I think I can, yeah.”Gavin ponder

    I had to field a few more concerns, but otherwise, my packmates entrusted the success of this plan to me. Never before had I failed them, and I didn’t intend to now. Mostly, I felt they were satisfied that it wouldn’t drag any of them into trouble. It occurred to me then how comfortable they had become in my practice of isolating Eastpeak from the other two packs. They didn’t want to interfere, either. Their appearance during the fight between Grandbay and Dalesbloom had been enough action for a long time.A small, but heavy dread found its way into my chest when I thought of how David planned to eventually turn his wrath onto us. My packmates were aware of it, but I didn’t think they took his threat seriously. They expected me to prevent it from happening, and so they remained blissfully ignorant of just how close to death they might be, content to continue living their lives as if there wasn’t a monster waiting to erupt just beyond our borders.After everyone left, it was just me, T

    A day should have been enough time for Aislin to get her injury taken care of. She had plenty of options: going to see a doctor, even going to a hospital if she didn’t want to see Muriel, which would have been the easiest and fastest option. And yet when I woke on Sunday morning, I was discouraged to find that terrible pressure crushing my chest, warning that Aislin still hadn’t gotten herself taken care of.I had to do something about this.A mass text went out to the nineteen members of my pack. ‘Meeting tonight, 6 p.m., my place.’She lingered on my mind all day, as much as I wished I could have thought about anything else. Aislin had set herself on the path of self-destruction and I couldn’t understand why, especially when her pack was already in so much danger. The feelings she inspired were an infuriating mix of confusion, worry, and annoyance, all three of which would have pushed me to reach out under normal circumstances. I could have texted her, but it would have been futile.

    Billie nodded, digesting the information, analyzing my Moondream like she was trying to find meaning within it. I was sure I had analyzed it a million times over and not found any interpretation worth looking into. “When did you have it, exactly?”“Ah… it was right after Niko choked me.”Billie’s eyebrows rose. “When you went unconscious?”“Yep.”“You didn’t even say anything about it.”“Sorry, it kinda caught me off guard,” I drawled. “I wasn’t ready to blurt out that I just had a Moondream and found out my fated mate was fucking Everett March.”“I guess…” Billie frowned. “But you know, you can tell me these things and I won’t judge you or tell anyone. You’re my friend, Aislin.”The harshness in my voice petered into a laugh under my breath. Then it struck me, a second later, how much courage it must have taken Billie to say that. I couldn’t imagine she ever had a chance to be a source of comfort to somebody before. I was probably the first real honest friend she had outside of Hex

    Muriel never ended up coming to my apartment that night. I wasn’t sure if it was because Gavin was so angry at me that he didn’t trust me, or if it was because it was too late to bring her over. Either way, I was in no mood to talk to anyone, and it was a miracle I managed to fall asleep as quickly as I did.The next morning, Gavin texted me, ‘Muriel will stay at your place tonight. Please let her heal you.’ I didn’t acknowledge the request. Memories of last night—Gavin and Everett both imploring me to get help with my injured lungs—suffused me with anger I couldn’t handle.Most of my day was spent working at a cheap accessory store in Grandbay’s strip mall. I was the Assistant Manager and usually worked four to five days a week, making just enough money to pay for my apartment, but not much else. The job was good enough, but I spent a lot of time surrounded by nattering tween girls and adult women that tried too hard to be cool, and both types of people grated on my nerves after a wh
