Caleb-
“Honestly, I am not sure, but it seems as if Hunter’s wolf found a way to connect to her. It isn’t the same as ours, meaning she can’t shift or anything into him, but he is fully present within her mind. I can sense him just as I can sense your wolf.” Tristan said.
Nothing he was saying was making any sense to me. Never in my life have I heard of a wolf spirit transferring to another. Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised if what he was saying was true. When it came to Kyra, I have learned to accept the impossible. Was it because of Hunter’s wolf that Kyra was the way she was?
“Can you connect to Ace?” I asked Maddox, thinking maybe there was a way to find out what was going on.
“I can.” My wolf responded after a few minutes.
“See if you can find out what is going on.” I said, wishing more than anything that I was able to hear what Ace was saying.
Caleb-“Are you okay?” I heard Zeke’s voice ask.Still outside on my hands and knees, I was trying to catch my bearings. My tears have long dried up, but I had stayed as I was. Once my vertigo had passed, I was feeling better, but the pain in my heart was still very much there.“I am fine.” I said, barely above a whisper.“Don’t lie to me.” Zeke said, sounding as if he was getting closer.With my eyes closed, I pushed myself back until I was sitting on the heels of my feet. The simple movement made it feel as if all the blood just rushed to my head. I wasn’t sure how long I had been like I was, but I must have been a while. When the feeling passed, I opened my eyes and found Zeke standing just a few feet away.“What do you want?” I asked.“I thought I would check on you and see how you were doing.” Zeke spoke.I knew I was being difficult, but now I j
Caleb-“I can see you are mad.” Zeke said, without giving me an answer to my question.“Mad? That isn’t even remotely close to what I am feeling. I am pissed. Because I listened to you, I thought that it was better for everyone that I left. If I would have known it was something else, I would have never left in the first place. Now because of what you told me, as well as the secrets you and Selene like to keep, I learn that I just spent the last two centuries nearly, alone. I hurt Kyra and Hunter because none of you could tell me the truth.” I yelled, standing up from the couch until I was practically towering over Zeke.“It isn’t his fault.” I heard Selene say, but when I turned around to confront her, I didn’t see her.“Where the fuck are you?” I yelled, no longer caring that I was ready to give in to the rage that was consuming me.“I will not reveal myself until you are cal
Kyra-My mind was still in a fog when I woke up, or at least I thought I had woken up. Now I wasn’t so sure. The first thing I saw was Caleb’s face when I opened my eyes, so I thought maybe I was dreaming or something. It has been a long time since I saw him, so I wasn’t sure if what I was seeing was real.Maybe I just needed to sit up, to wake up. As much as I wanted to see Caleb, I didn’t know if I could handle it right now. I felt numb like my body and mind were shut down. No doubt I was in shock still, but at least now I wasn’t breaking down.It was bad enough that I keep hearing Ace in my head, like a constant reminder that Hunter was no longer here. I don’t know how it is possible, but I can feel Ace in the same way I felt Alexia when I had her. Okay, maybe not in the same way.Sitting up, I kept my eyes on Caleb. He moved back slightly to give me room to get up, but after blinking a few more times, he was still h
Hunter-My lungs felt like they were going to explode. I don’t understand why I felt as if I couldn’t breathe, I should be dead right now. It was as if something was pressing down on my chest, and I couldn’t catch a breath.Gasping for air, I struggled to sit up, but I was pinned down by something. I couldn’t see anything, nor could I move my hands to feel for whatever was on top of me. If I wasn’t dead, then I needed to find a way to get to Kyra. Where was I though?“Ace?” I called out to my wolf in my head.The only thing I heard was the echo of my voice though, it was like I had spoken out loud. Panic began to fill me, as I continued to struggle against what had my wrists and ankles bound. I was a werewolf, so why could I not see in the darkness that surrounded me?“No wolf here.” I heard someone, or thing say, I couldn’t be sure what had spoken, it sounded nothing like human or beast.
Caleb-For the next two nights, Kyra slept in my bed, while I slept in the chair. As much as I tried, I couldn’t get her to leave the room for anything. Since she wasn’t taking in any fluids, she was barely even getting up to use the restroom.I was at my wit’s end, unsure of what I could do to convince her she needed to eat. If she kept going the way she was, she was going to follow Hunter in death. Everything I have tried hasn’t worked. Now more than ever I needed to keep my promise to Hunter.I didn’t believe she was far enough along to hear the baby’s heartbeat, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to survive at the rate Kyra was going. It was as if she has just given up and was refusing to move forward with her life, without her mate. I had to do something, even if it meant forcing her to eat and get fluids in her.Only two days wasn’t going to do any substantial damage to Kyra, but that didn’t m
Kyra- “Please.” I said, hoping that they would just leave me alone. I didn’t know what they were planning to do, but it really wasn’t important. They were going to put something in my nose that was going to keep me alive. I thought long and hard about everything and I just couldn’t live in a world where Hunter wasn’t here. “I hope you forgive me for what I am about to do.” I heard my friend Mel say, but I couldn’t see her. When I tried to turn my head, Caleb tightened his grip so I couldn’t move. It wasn’t that he was hurting me, I just felt too drained to even try to fight it. All my energy just felt as if it had been drained. “What are you going to do?” I asked. “I am going to place this tube inside of you, through your nose. This is so we can feed you through the tube and you can start regaining your strength. You will feel pressure while I insert it. It will help if you continue to swallow so it isn’t as uncomfortable for you.” Mel
Hunter- The two creatures left after getting me cleaned up and even getting me some clothing. I don’t know how long it has been, but it has felt as if I have been here forever, as I waited for the one who sent me here. My head was spinning with possibilities, yet I couldn’t fathom who would send me here. Or at least I could imagine who would have the ability to do so. It wasn’t that I didn’t have enemies, I had a lot, more than I probably even realized. For the life of me though, I couldn’t rack my brain about who it could be. “Oh good, you are up.” I heard the same female voice from earlier say. Turning around, I looked in the direction of where the voice came from but I couldn’t see anyone. I remembered that I couldn’t see outside of the cage, which was annoying as hell. Stepping towards the side of the cage I was sure the female was at, I placed my hands on the bars. “Who is there?” I asked into the darkness. “It matters not who I a
Caleb- I hated the fact I had to go to such extreme measures to ensure Kyra didn’t take out the feeding tube. What was worse was the fact that her tears now weren’t from losing Hunter. She was crying as she cursed my name. It hurt more than I cared to admit to anyone, but I still felt as if I was doing the right thing. It has only been twenty-four hours since tying her down and forcing her to eat and drink through a tube. Just in that short amount of time though, I could already tell she was getting stronger. Luckily Nick was able to get some power dampeners to keep Kyra from using her abilities. She hasn’t attempted to shift yet, which was a relief. I was trying to come up with a way to keep her from shifting as well, for when she did try though. She wasn’t like other werewolves, so the same tactics didn’t work on her. I had contacted Alec and told him what I had to do. He wasn’t exactly thrilled with it, but he said it was probably for the best. He
