Caleb POV “Is Aurora right? Did you both see anything?” My mind whirls as I think back to that night. How Teddy gave us those gold outfits to wear with the symbol of the sun and Helios all over them. How he plied us with alcohol and good food and we were all just grateful he didn’t get out the night shade petals again. Had that relief been enough to make us forget? What had Teddy said to us that night? He had ignored Aurora. Or so I thought.Then there was Mila … did she create a diversion? “Don’t beat yourself up Caleb. None of us noticed anything out of the ordinary.” Gabriel begins, his brow furrowed, but Sabastian looks skeptical.“But don’t you think it was odd that we had been gone a day only to return out of the blue where he had a dinner party and clothes all our sizes ready for us? It’s a little suspicious then there were his guests … they just seemed a little off,” He tsks, shaking his head as if trying to grab hold of a memory and failing miserably.“Did you enter their mi
Caleb POV“No, baby girl, that necklace is on the video Jaden showed us, look I have it here.” I pass the video to Aurora, getting up from my seat as she takes her a look, her eyes widening before her brows knit together. “This is Teddy’s. He has the same one,” she insists, but I don’t remember seeing this necklace on him.“Say it is his. And he is behind this. We never saw Luca when we were there. We searched their pack and throughout his house there was no sign of some evil lair.” I remind here but she shakes her head.“Ethan said he scented Luca. We must have missed something!” Aurora stands up, moving out of Gabriel’s hold to pace up and down, her little fists scrunched up as she gets more and more flustered.“That was just wishful thinking, Angel. I wanted Luca to be there so badly because then we would finally have some answers,” Ethan responds, looking down at the twins. We all want answers - me more than ever. I always have them. Always know what is coming next. I have a plan
Aurora POVRosa had cooked dinner for everyone, as we were all exhausted. The kids had been playing with their dads whilst Sebastian rested. He was putting on a brave front for me and the kids, even his brothers. But I knew how much he suffered. I could feel it with every breath he took.I wished that I could feel Luca the same way, to know if he was okay to feel that connection to him, that I might be able to comfort him in some capacity. I wished for it for all my kids. Violet and Logan had some kind of intuition where they could communicate or understand each other. It was obvious with the way they sat side by side, their movements in unison. No doubt it made Luca feel even more alone.We watched a movie, all seven of us. It felt like the most normal thing we had done since Luca left. As much as we needed it - it also felt as if we were moving on carrying on with our lives. That didn’t sit right with me. I thought about Luca night and day no matter what we were doing, but it was ge
Sabastian POV Blood trickles from my throat as Gabriel stitches me back together in the back seat. Ethan hasn’t said a word. Not since I almost bled out. Not since we confirmed the worst—Luca wasn’t there.Ethan had already shifted. Thinking I was behind him, I watched his fluffy tail disappear into the underbrush whilst being sliced open.“There are going to know it’s me that went and my ability,” I gargle as Gabriel heals my throat and tells me to stop talking. “You were right behind me,” Ethan eventually mutters once the gate to our home comes into view.Caleb, Aurora and the twins rush out to meet us, the guards standing on edge as they gather around the truck. Ethan grabs a hoist to take me as Caleb springs into action. “What happened?” I hear Aurora’s panicked voice as they list me out of the car. They are just being dramatic. I can walk perfectly fine.“He’s alright, love … I just gave him some drugs so he can’t walk right now,” Gabriel explains, checking me over one last time
Sabastian POV My body hits the ground with a sickening thud, the shock rattling every bone until the air explodes from my lungs. Am I dead?There’s no sound. No howls. No teeth sinking into flesh. Just... silence. And pain. Too much pain to be dead. I don’t even feel the bite of their fangs as they rip into me. Nothing. So what the fuck am I?I push back into my consciousness … I don’t hear or feel any of it.My eyes open and I find myself flat on my front in the ground, the dirt smushed to my face. Slowly moving my neck to face the other way, I suddenly realise the tree that fell the scent of wolfsbane, none of it is around me.Fuck, I am really am dead.It takes me a second or 10 to process this. I can’t even work out how I feel because all I can focus on is the pain.Why is there so much pain? If I was dead, I was certain no pain was part of the deal. My wolf whines in my head and I realise with startling clarity I am, in fact, alive.But where are the wolves? The fallen tree?I go
Sabastian POV My hands fly out to grab the net to stop me from plummeting to the ground, allowing the wolves to descend around me. Fuck. Gripping the net feels like clinging on to water and I am struggling to keep in the net as it sways, holding on by a thread. I try to call my shadows forward to phase, but other than a few sparks of black smoke, nothing comes out.“Chop him down,” one of the men order the rest still in wolf form, snarling drool dripping from their razor-sharp teeth as they prepare to sink their jaws into my flesh. I feel the net begin to drop as it sways, struggling to hold my weight. Now most of the binds have been cut loose. Just one final one is what holds my fate.I could really use a smoke right about now.Or my kitten. 1000% my kitten.Just to see her face one last time would be all I need.“Hang on, we’re on our way,” Ethan mind links and the irony isn’t lost on me. His voice sounds stronger, which means he is getting closer, but I don’t want to put my brothe
