Lana’s POVWe continue to stare at each other, his blood red eyes completely still. He doesn’t even appear to blink. When he suddenly leans back in his chair, swinging a leg up and crossing it over the other one. Just like how my adopted Dad would sit, urgh!He quickly stands, making me flinch and his smile fades as he frowns.“My attendance is needed. Please remain here so we can finish our conversation.” Shifters enter and their scent fills the room. It is overwhelmingly sickening. Hallen looks at me as he stands. “I don’t need you vomiting again. Perhaps you will feel more confident if Freya is here?”I nod my head and he sends the shifters away, asking them to send Freya. It’s a few minutes before she appears and her eyes dart to me.“Sam is safe.” She links me while keeping her head bowed. I didn’t even realise Sam was here. In my own selfishness, I had completely forgotten about my half brother. I hoped he was okay.“Freya, what took you so long?” Hallens voice echoes through th
Logan’s POVHallen wouldn’t give me any more information. Instead he returned me to the dungeon. Sam was pacing up and down and Hallen glares at him. He knew someone had saved Sam, someone had given him an antidote.“Who saved you?” His voice is low, it echoes around the dark dungeon.“I did!” I tell Hallen.“How, you are a wolf like he is.”“You know wolfsbane doesn’t really harm me.” His red eyes move from Sam to me.“I certainly underestimated you.” He moves quicker than a blink of the eye. Slamming the dungeon door shut. Leaving Sam and I alone.“Well?” Sam questions.“There’s nothing.”“What do you mean? Lana is here right?”“Yes Lana is here. I tried to get inside his head but it was empty. There was no chaos like most peoples, no organisation like yours. There was nothing.”“It makes sense Logan, He is dead after all.”“He wasn’t even aware I was in there.”“Again, he is dead. What did you expect?”Hallen had said that I needed to look closer to home, had he been talking about
Lana’s POVHe killed him with his own bare hands. Snapped the mans neck like it was nothing more than a twig. Did it surprise me? No! He probably did worse to Seth and who knows who else. Besides, Abby and I had taken out loads of wolves in the last few years.“Keep moving.” He orders the rest of us and Freya lets out a little squeal. For someone that is constantly around death, she appeared to not like watching others die.Freya runs on ahead, side stepping around the body. Sam behind her as Logan pulls me along. “I won’t be letting you out of my sight again.” Logan links me and all I could do was nod my head at him.Hallen would be mad. Hallen would come for all of us but Logan didn’t seem to care about that at all.A main road was coming up ahead. Cars were travelling along it at speed, but it didn’t slow down our pace. The sun would be setting soon, awakening Hallen. He would be after us in no time.My grip on Logan must have changed because he stops us as Sam and Freya keep movi
Lana’s POVMy mouth falls open as I stare at him, unsure of what he just said. He repeats the words, telling me that I lost consciousness, that my heart just suddenly stopped. How I scared everyone, that everyone was afraid of losing their Alpha.“That doesn’t make any sense.” The words come out all croaky and I realise how dry my throat is. Without hesitating, Logan hands me a glass of water. “Lana. What the hell happened out there? Did you eat something? Did you take something? Did Hallen give you something?” He was firing these questions at me, like I knew what had happened. I didn’t.All I remember is shifting and running, how each step started to hurt and how I felt cold. Even now, I was freezing.“Did Hallen do something to you Lana?”“No, well I don’t think so.” I wrap my arms around myself as the cold seeped in.“Freya has worked hard. She has been trying to figure out what happened to you.”“How? How am I alive?”He clenches his jaw, turning his gaze from me. Whatever it was
Logan’s POVHer brown eyes fill with tears as she stares at me. It was the truth. I couldn’t get her out of my head.When her heart stopped, pain ripped through me, worse than I had ever felt before.I may have jumped at the deal with Abby a little too quickly but I was not ready to lose Lana. Now she was marked by a vampire. A vampire that wanted to recreate a Blood Pack.Lana sits quietly. Little sighs escaping her. She hadn’t said anything, not since I told her that she was all I thought about.The clock ticking was driving me nuts. Every second seemed to last forever as I waited for her to say something.Her lips part, like she was going to say something. But she soon closes them again. Her eyes continue to remain on me, neither of us moving, neither of us speaking.“Why?” she finally chokes out.“You are asking me why I care?”“Uh huh” her head slowly moves up and down, her eyes wide like she is in some sort of trance.“It would seem like the bond is making my feelings for you gr
Logan’s POV“What was all the noise about?” Her words are quiet. She blinks a few times and I see how her eyes are shaking. Just a little, but enough for me to notice as she turns her head in my direction.“Lana, are you okay?” It was a stupid question. It was obvious that she wasn’t.“I’m fine….” she wobbles slightly. Her hand reaching out to the door frame to steady herself.“Lana. I know you’re not.”As the blanket falls from her shoulders, she reveals her blood soaked pyjama shirt. There were slits in the material, just over her stomach. Like claws had raked over her.Uncle Liam rises from the chair as I demand to know what happened.“I did it.” She mutters as I run my fingers over the wounds. They were healing, just very slowly.“Why would you do this to yourself?”“I thought… I thought you had gone.”The whites of her eyes were dimming as she struggled to stand upright.“What do you mean? I’m right here.”“It hurts.” She mouths as she stumbles forward, crashing into me. Her eyes
Lana’s POVFreya was sat on the end of the bed humming. I could tell it was her by her scent but for the life of me, I had no idea what song she was trying to hum, but it was the most annoying thing ever.“Hey, how are you feeling?” She smiles as I rub my eyes.I had woken up yesterday. Mortified to find myself in the pack hospital. It was only made worse when I found out I had been in for an entire week. Freya pretty much never left unless it was to go use the bathroom, shower or change. Sam would pop in now and again to check on us but Logan was nowhere to be seen. Anytime I asked, they would find a clever way to change the subject.“I guess you are not going to tell me where Logan is today, either?!”“Maybe you need to stop worrying. The doctor said you should be able to leave today. Everything is back to normal. Everything is looking good.”"Tell that to my body." Everything still ached. “So I will see Logan?”“Uh, probably not today.”“Why, where is he?” I knew he had to be on p
Lana’s POV“You’re mad!” I mutter as I follow his finger. Looking out at the empty packlands, I couldn’t work out why he was seeing things differently to me.“Lana. It’s not me, it’s you.”“There is no one here!”He spins the wheelchair around so that I am facing him. “Lana, you are not making any sense.”Over his shoulder, I could see the pack's hospital. The one that I had just been in. It looked like it had been abandoned, much like the rest of the pack. The windows were broken, vines grew up over the building along with ageing cracks in the walls.Caleb follows my gaze, peering at the pack hospital. He looks to me and then back to the building. “What are you frowning at?”“You just brought me out of there?”“Yes. It’s where you have been for the last week.” His head keeps flicking back and forth between me and the hospital as he frowns.I didn’t understand. Nothing was making any sense. Why was Caleb seeing things differently to me?“It looks abandoned.”“What have you taken?”“N
