Luca POV The witch dragged me to the kitchen, which was full of people preparing food. My mouth watered so much it all smelt so delicious. There were sweets, warm fresh breads, rich meats, creamy potatoes, and shiny green apples. I wanted to eat it all. I needed to eat it all. “Wait here,” the witch growled before dragging me to a corner by the sink. How many people were coming tonight? Was it too much to hope it was my parents that they had finally found me?I felt my heart jump at the thought. They finally came for me.The witch returned with a small plate and a cup. Scanning the kitchen with the all the other rich foods, I was a little disappointed. Before she could say anything or take it away, I grabbed the cup, which had hot soup in. More of a broth, but it did taste nice. I swallowed it all, finally feeling better, and my tummy was surprisingly full. I ate the grapes a bread roll still. I ate it all.Then I felt sick. The witch sneered at me the entire time. She gave me a glas
Luca POV 1 week agoMy stomach hurts. I don’t know how long they have left me here. In the cold. In the dark. Alone. I have cuts and bruises that won’t heal as they are covered in dirt. The rats that try to nibble my toes at night when I sleep. Some days I think about eating them.But I don’t.Mummy and Daddies are coming for me. They will find me. Daddy will make me better and mummy will give me lots of hugs. Forgive me for what I did.I want to go home.The cold, hard floor is seeping into my bones. I can’t focus on anything and I’m too tired. Yet too cold to sleep.I wonder if Logan and Violet miss me.I miss them.The cell door scratches open as the clack of heels comes. The lady with long blonde hair and evil eyes scans my cell. I’m hidden in the back corner so she can’t see me, but she looks right at me as if she can, her eyes pinching together. “Where are you, you little brat?” she’s alone and using her long fingers forces open my cell door.She doesn’t have food, so whatever
Aurora POV “That was bleak. I actually think Matthew likes me after that,” Elio mutters as we all gather in the aftermath of my mates and their parents. There were many low blows delivered on both sides, which only made everything worse. I finally called a stop to it when I saw mum’s face and how much it dropped from seeing them come to loggerheads.“Trust me, he doesn’t,” Ethan grumbles, scratching his jaw as he leans against the bookshelf. Kara gives Elio a look before sighing and looking at the rest of us. “Let’s not start that again. Elio and I have done some digging,” she adjust her seat on the sofa capturing all of our attention as Sabastian plays with my hair. Something he has been doing more and more since Gabriel took away his cigarettes.“We think we know why Caleb’s visions are being blocked and how Teddy is hiding Luca,” that stopped me short. My heart was beating my mouth as Sabastian ceased twiddling with my hair.“Tell me,” I pleaded, as Kara gave me a sympathetic smil
Aurora POV “Mum, Dad, you’re early,” I greet my mother as she beams up at me. The woman is small long blonde hair and grey eyes. Dad, or should I say Matthew, stand in the doorway with their bags on the floor as Rosa and some of the gaurds help bring them inside.“Is this anyway to greet your mother?” She fusses, looking me up and down before her lips press into a tight line. “We should have come here sooner. I’m so sorry sweetie, I just thought,” her eyes glance at Matthew before looking behind me to where my mates are before she adverts her gaze. “We’re here now,” she gives me a warm smile before she greets my mates and Matthew gives me an awkward hug. To my surprise, behind her are Elio, Kara, Aria and Xander.“You’re here,” I just about say before Kara gives me a knowing smile and embracing me as I swallow a mouthful of her dark curls. “The kids wanted to see their cousins, and I figured it might help. Besides, we have some news.” Her gaze flits to Elio as he swallows, not lookin
Caleb POV I woke up to my phone blaring as I rolled over to see who was calling. The sleep instantly left my eyes when I saw the name flashing on the screen. “Fuck,” Sitting up slowly, I watched the phone ring as I took a deep breath when I slide the call button to answer. The line was dead. Instantly the phone rang again, seemly louder and more annoyed than last time.“Hello Marius,” I greeted as politely as I could whilst my heart kicked itself up a few notches. The line was silent for a few beats as sweat prickled my scalp and I checked to make sure the call had indeed connected. Each second that passed had me second guessing myself. Maybe he was just calling for a chat? Perhaps my panic was for nothing.“Caleb. I thought I made myself fucking clear that you weren’t allowed to visit my pack,” he started, his voice eerily calm. quiet. I couldn’t stop myself from swallowing from the hairs that rose on the back of my neck.“What makes you think it was me that came to your pack?” Play
Sabastian POV “Caleb, if you're right and the woman was from your vision. That Teddy is behind this. Their magic is far more powerful than we realised. For us to all see something different - we’re out of our depth. Teddy wanted us to come those nights. He allowed it. You think now we know he will let us even at the border of the pack?” I clarify as Caleb shakes his head, his eyes scanning back and forth on the glass of his lenses.“No, they can’t be that powerful. If there were any witch or warlock with that much power, then wouldn’t they be in charge of all the packs?” it’s a good question and yet something stirs in the back of my mind as I wheeze in a breath. Reaching for my cigarettes, I light up as Gabriel growls at me, grabbing my smoke and snuffing it out. “Are you insane? I’ve told you to stop smoking countless times. This time I’m deadly serious.” We stare daggers at each other for a moment before I relent. My lungs are tight, sore, swollen as I recover.“I don’t think you h
