Cara's POV"Fire. I need fire." Bruno said as he carefully examined the stab wound on Abigail's unconscious body."What?" I asked him.I was finally able to sneak him into our underground research facility. Not without a little trouble though.He ordered that we stopped every form of treatment Abigail was receiving at the moment. It's of no use, he said. Claire reluctantly agreed to keep it away from Mark, at my request."Like a blow torch?" Claire asked in curiosity, adjusting her spectacles on the bridge of her nose."Yeah. That will do the job." Bruno answered, not taking his attention off Abigail's injury. Claire snapped her fingers at her assistants, making them hurry out of the room to get what was requested for."Her body responds to heat in times like. It will speed up her healing process." He explained, turning to look at me as he spoke.I've watched Abigail take a heat blast from Hazel, she healed pretty quickly from that. I didn't really think much about it then but now I
Athena's POVI ran. I ran as fast as my weary legs could carry me, wanting to get as far away from Iñari as possible. I need to find a way to get out of this place...this world creeping with one form of illusion or another. I was gradually starting to lose my mind...if I still had one.I ran past tree after tree in a very sense, unfamiliar forest. Stumbling over a few rocks on my way, I pushed myself to go even faster. It's only a matter of time before she changes this scenery again like some fucking video game.I had lost all sense of time in this endless loop of illusions. My breathing was ragged and my heart thumped loudly against my ribcage. I was exhausted, terrified and helpless at this point. I'd usually consider myself a genius until this very moment. I had no single plan to save myself and get out of here. I didn't even know where I was.I decided to rest myself against a tree for a quick breather. Beads of sweat ran from my head, down my face and onto the ground. I panted in
Cara's POVI jumped off the bed in an instant, my claws out and ready in defense, as I heard someone barge in on a special moment with me and my mate. We had decided to take a little nap after several hours of passionate sex in his makeshift apartment."Mark?" I called out in surprise as I stared with widened eyes at a very disheveled looking Alpha Supreme. He was standing at the door post, a weary look on his face. One would rarely see Mark like this. I felt a constriction in my throat.Bruno was still laying fast asleep on the bed, letting out light snores. I swear, humans seem to be able to sleep through a hurricane."I'm intruding." He said, staring blankly at my completely naked self. I opened my mouth to reply before he swiftly turned around and started walking away."No! Mark. Wait up." I called out to him as I hurriedly put on a shirt. Bruno stirred a little in his sleep, mumbling some incoherent words that I couldn't bring myself to listen. Let me find out what has gotten Mar
Cara's POVAngry werewolves were trooping into the pack house in protest. They were angrily calling out Mark to release Abigail and my mate to them, accusing him of being on the side of "murderers".I frantically pushed past the crowd, making way for Mark and looking out for Bruno. From the mate bond, I could tell he hadn't been harmed but he wasn't responding to my calls either. I tried not to panic.Alpha Killian and a group of Deltas rushed in to form a protective circle around Mark, as he walked out, holding the lifeless body of Elder Moriah in his arms."Need to find mate." My wolf cried out in my head.Athena was nowhere to be found amidst all the commotion. Broken walls and furnitures littered the pack house. The wolves were angrily cussing out Alpha Mark for being a traitor to his kind and not being able to do the needful.I stood in front of Mark and his entourage, shoving wolves out of the way to make more room for them to pass.A random wolf was finally able to slip into th
Cara's POVTrees passed by me in a blur as I pushed my four legs to go even faster. I needed to get to my mate before those fuckers really hurt him. Wildlife scurried out of my way as I hurriedly dashed past. Little droplets of snow were beginning to appear on my fur and the chilly winter wind was blowing hard against them.My paws dug deeper into the moist earth with every step I took towards the unknown location. I couldn't get any scent, so my wolfy ears stood out on the top of my head, trying to pick on any strange sound.Earlier, I had gone up to our room in the pack house to confront Athena...or whoever she had become now. I went there, growling and baring my fangs in threats, only to find out that my mate wasn't there with her. She had him tied to a tree in the woods. He was shirtless, cold and looking barely conscious."How long do you think an ordinary human would be able to withstand such conditions." She smirked at me as she held out a tablet with the picture of my mate. I
Cara's POVI looked around the small cave to see mostly females and teenage werewolves tied up together in pairs of two. They were all either weaker wolves or kids that were yet to shift into their wolf forms. The Vixens had been holding them hostage for a seemingly long time. They all looked to be either exhausted or weak from starvation and cold. These were wolves whose identities had been stolen. The Vixens hid them here so they could successfully infiltrate the pack with their false identities. I couldn't find Bruno here and I didn't know if I should be relieved."Why aren't you guys tied up like the rest?" I asked Claire and the Omega, Leona."Well... We were just lucky enough to tied with ropes and not some silver cuffs." Leona chirped, showing off some angry, red marks on her wrists."Everybody calm down, Alpha Cara is here now. We'll soon be home safely." Claire tried to calm the wolves down as they were gradually becoming restless. I stood still on one spot, zoning in and out
Cara's POVI grunted in pain as I took another hit to my stomach, falling down on one knee. It felt like hours since I've been trying to fight off these damned Vixens but they came really prepared. They delivered painful blows and few cuts with their blades but didn't really attempt to kill me.... even if they obviously could at this point. For some reason they were toying with me and I was too exhausted to be infuriated at that fact.I looked behind me to see Claire and Leona with fearful looks in their eyes. They were also surrounded by a few of the Vixens. They were holding katanas to their throats, discouraging them from making any sudden movements. The other wolves didn't seem to be doing any better. One could literally see the fear written all over them. They had initially doubted my ability to keep them safe. Turns out they were right afterall.The Vixens continued their assault on me with every attempt I made to stand up. They were running around me in circles, taking turns t
Abigail's pov"Alpha Mark, noooo!" Cara wailed.It happened within the blink of an eye. One second, Mark's large wolf was lunging at this Iñari bitch and the next, he was sent flying backwards and crashing into a couple trees...in human form.Silence! That was what came next. She literally just pushed a raging Alpha Supreme back into his human form... without much effort. I would be lying if I said I wasn't impressed. Never seen anything like it.Cara, Bruno, Claire and some random werewolf kid, Alpha Killian and the other Deltas all stood frozen on a spot."You bastard!" Cara spat, slowly walking towards Iñari. I stopped her. Whatever we're doing, we still need to remember that Iñari's not physically present here. Athena is."She knocked out his wolf." Bruno said, coming to stand behind Cara once again, shock still on his face.Mark wearily pushed away some broken tree trunks that had fallen on him. He grunted in obvious pain as he forced himself to his feet, holding onto his side. S
