Sneaky suspicions and forgotten traditions...
"Raven!" I hiss towards the brazen teenager while I hobble behind her unsteadily; struggling to keep up with her stride as my once white heels sink into the soft ground aggravatingly while the youngster uncaringly storms on ahead, bursting into the open clearing undetected as Aubrey's back remains turned towards us, "-hold up for a second!"
Raven turns around hesitantly; her eyebrows knitting together as she folds her arms, looking less than impressed as I stop her from completing her self-proclaimed mission of investigating. She shrugs her shoulders sarcastically, stubbornly huffing out loud as she shakes her head, not entirely understanding the sudden hold-up.
"What?" she quietly murmurs while looking behind her shoulder, cautiously checking whether Aubrey has spotted us yet.
"I have an idea," I wave my hand in the air; beckoning her to follow me while I dash off to the side of the training ground while making my way towards the rear side of a nearing cabin, "

Without wasting any time, we make our way downstairs to Elijah's office once I've quickly gotten changed. As expected, a heated discussion breaks out when Raven joins us as we divulge what we overheard last night. We take our time talking through what happened—carefully recalling the secretive conversation to my anxious mate as he listens silently to what transpired at the edge of the training field while an unsuspecting Aubrey remained oblivious to the prying sets of eyes that watched her from afar, hidden out of sight as we tucked ourselves behind the old wooden cabin.While I reel off the final moments of Aubrey's hushed rant, I notice a building scowl cast over Elijah's face as an unstoppable molten like rage rolls within him, consuming him in a choking hold as his clenched fists continue to pale at the knuckles.

Without any thought of my own, my wolf drives my body to lunge forward while the anger rising within crashes over me, acting as if it were a ruthless tide dragging me out into a turbulent sea of fury. Those within the room break into a medley of startled gasps while Aubrey's shrill voice cries out above them, breaking into an intolerable wail as I make my way towards her. My hand wraps around her neck roughly – my grip tightening as I push her viciously into the wall after darting across the room.She gasps as her body makes impact, the last contained breath held within her lungs quickly escaping from the unexpected knock. Her mouth hangs open while her bag drops heavily onto the ground, leaving the gasping she-wolf desperate to take a full breath as she tries to push me away in a blind panic.

While I follow my brothers lead, Elijah heads off in search of Dakota and the other pack members within the forestry. With Aubrey’s bitter warnings still hanging in the air, Elijah’s ever-growing impatience rises, making it challenging for him to stand back and wait for further news while the impending threat remains unfound. Finding it impossible to stand idly by, he asks for my blessing before rushing off in haste to join in on the apparent manhunt being conducted just outside the manor grounds – implemented in full swing as a sea of wolves tear through the woodland area with might. As I watch my protective mate disappear through the back door, I let out a deflated sigh as I question whether we’ll get a day of normalcy together any day soon. “Don’t hold your breath,”my wolf mocks truthfully as she listens in to my thoughts,“-I have a feeling this is just the beginning,”

His forehead remains creased, a soft scowl consuming his face as he struggles to forget my brief lack of judgement. As we silently walk down the staircase hand in hand, he stands at my side protectively - keeping me close as he guides me towards the excited commotion resonating from outside.When we enter the garden, my attention gravitates towards the gathering group while they stand around the gently bubbling fountain. Their enthusiastic chatter masks the gentle flow of water splashing behind them, all huddled closely together as they remain enthralled by whatever has managed to captivate their interest.

The sapphire eyed father turns his head snappily in response to the growing frantic thuds of the vast approaching footsteps, his fear-filled eyes illuminating brightly as they glow out of fright. He raises an unsteady hand into the air, ushering down those crouching within the room while the children clasp their hands over their mouths. Their terror riddled faces crumple up beneath their hands, staring amongst the adults while they muffle their whimpering cries the very best they can.“You need to go,“ Julian hisses remorsefully, heartbreak drenched within his panicked voice as he begs Marie’s mother to leave, “-please.”“This wasn’t the plan,” Matilda’s pleading tone is met with abruptness as Julian’s eye’s flicker between his family and the closed door.“There’s no time left,” the tears well heavily within his eyes, dimming the bright spark igniting them, “-you need to ta

When I open my eyes, I’m no longer lying beside Elijah as I were when I had fallen asleep within the comfort of our private room. Instead, I find myself crouched in the unforgettable corridor of misfortunes as I realise I’m stuck within my dream world once more. With the dim-lit hall shortened even further in comparison to the last time I had found myself venturing through this hellish plane, only one door remains at my side. My eyes flicker onward as I gulp loudly while momentarily allowing my attention to hover over to what appears to be the end goal of this torturous recurring event—the old, wooden arched door. Knowing what to expect, I unclasp my arms from around my knees while I attempt to calm my erratic breathing, suddenly aware of the growing nerves setting root within me as I tremble softly on the ground. I take in a deep breath, placing my hands down on the icy floor beneath me as I lean back and allow my head to lull against the wall. I look back at the menacing d

I sense the shared presence of burning curiosity dusted within the air as the requested pack members await an explanation for being summoned here so urgently. As the door closes behind me, I take in an unsteady breath while I brace myself to open up to those closest to me. I turn around slowly, gulping down the gathering spit building at the back of my throat while the waiting audience settles down. Then, as I meet their welcoming smiles with a forced reflection of their own, their grins swiftly fade as if they had been snatched away by the growing worry weighing on them gravely. Will they believe me?“I wasn’t too sure what was going on, so I brought my research about that memoir you asked me to check out,” Blair places the cluster of books and files clasped with her arms down onto Elijah’s desk, the gifted pil
