KADE

My conversation with Lucian left me more rattled than I’d like to admit, and he was too distracted by his thoughts to notice.

When he dropped me off at the library, he promised to go straight home and take a nap after I convinced him that he needed to rest, but I could tell that, like me, he wouldn’t be able to sleep well anytime soon.

I could only hope that I had been able to convince him to stop thinking about the possibility of Ella infiltrating his thoughts.

I walked into the library and glanced around as I made my way to the front desk, silently thanking my stars that it was sparsely filled with people. I didn’t have to extend any greetings to anyone, which was a good thing, as I was in no mood for pleasantries.

The silence that enveloped the place allowed me to face the thoughts I had been putting away. The image of the knives hidden under my bed was permanently etched into my memory.

I needed to find out who sent them, how they found them in the first place, and what the n

    PAST & PRESENTThe room hummed with tension and the low buzz of machines plugged into Ella’s arm. Her thoughts bounced all over the place. There was a lot more she could say to explain the severity of the matter to Claire, but there wasn’t enough time for conversation.“I think that’s a dangerous thing to do right now,” Claire said and pouted. “You need time to recuperate before continuing the process.”“I don’t have that luxury. Lucian wouldn’t sit around waiting for me to regain my energy—he might be on his way here right now. I wouldn’t be able to sleep a wink. I really need to fast-track this…”“I understand your concern, Ella,” Claire interrupted and shook her head slowly. “But this is more important than anything this Lucian can ever do. If we—”“What’s the worst that could happen?” Ella interrupted, and Claire arched an eyebrow.“What?” Claire asked, still trying to find a way to convince her that taking a break was the best bet at this point.“If we go ahead with the procedure

    ELLAMy eyes flew open, and I instantly sat up. I looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when I realized I was finally back in the warehouse. I turned to look at Claire, who was watching me with keen interest, and for a split second, I felt like one of the pets she attended to in her office—a lab rat of sorts.Her eyes held different emotions, excitement and dread being the primary ones.“Your heart rate spiked. I kept trying to get you to calm down, but I don’t think you were hearing my voice anymore. What happened?” she asked, and I swallowed.“Lucian’s coming,” I said, as the memory of him realizing I was in his head flashed in my mind, filling me with dread.“Your heart rate’s spiking again,” she replied, and one of the machines started beeping loudly. I looked at the machine and frowned.Had it always been here, or did she have it brought in midway through the process? I couldn’t think clearly, and the machine only beeped louder by the second, which was beginning to aggravate

    KADEThe meeting with the council hadn’t gone as expected, except for the fact that I met Lucian yelling at the elders. That was bound to happen at some point; he hated their guts as much as I did and never missed an opportunity to express his contempt. I, on the other hand, had bigger fish to fry.They could bicker all they wanted, but I was connecting dots I would’ve never considered possible in this lifetime. Then again, I wasn’t surprised things were going the way they were.Nothing about our lives as werewolves had ever been simple or a walk in the park. I’d give anything for that to happen, but if wishes were horses, every Tom, Dick, and Harry would ride.The image of the box underneath my bed flashed through my mind as we took a left turn. That was another problem I had to deal with, and it wasn’t one of those things I could talk about.How would I explain to my brother that I knew about the murder weapons and leave out the possibility that I had a direct link to the murder?I

    LucianEverything seemed frustrating, and it annoyed me to no bounds. The council knew the source of our problem, and rather than point us in the right direction, they clammed up.If I had known that our enemies had a better skillset than envisioned, our patrol evenings would’ve been spent learning more about them and getting ready.“I’m not sure I believe all of this,” I muttered and kicked a rock as the air blew gently against my face.“I think you should,” Kade’s voice rang from behind me. I hadn’t heard him step out of the building, and to be fair, I had left to find time to cool off, so I wasn’t really paying attention to anything else.“I can’t believe you think anything they said in there made any damn sense! It’s…” I began, and he waved dismissively, then walked to the car in slow strides.“I’ve had time to think about it and do some research. If I’m on the right path with this, then we’re in for a ride. I didn’t want to believe it when the seer brought it up, I still have my

    ELLAOne by one, the members of the council recounted the details of the pact they knew. Each person’s statement left me more stunned than the last.Every time Lucian glanced in Kade’s direction, I saw his expression alternate between annoyance, disappointment, and something else, an emotion I couldn’t quite label, but one that clearly wasn’t the rage pulsing through him.As the council members spoke, I recalled the vision I had earlier, my ancestors making an agreement with the Blackthorns.I hadn’t fully understood what I’d seen at the time, but now, hearing them recount the events in various ways that all led to the same conclusion, everything started making more sense.We had made an agreement with them, and they had failed to uphold their end of the bargain. They had a reason, of course, but to me, it was flimsy, based on emotion, not truth. They hadn’t even verified the source.“So you’ve known what we were dealing with this entire time and said nothing?” Lucian demanded, angril
