"What do you mean Silver Creek is about to be attacked? By whom?"

I suddenly understood the need for the heightened security around the pack. As I waited for Max to answer the question, my mind whirled. Iris's hand found mine again and held.

"Who else?" Max asked. "It's your crazy sister," he told Iris.

Iris tensed. "Julietta? But...why?"

"Most importantly," I cut in, "how? Is she stupid? Red Moon doesn't have the resources to besiege Silver Creek, or even win in an ambush. Over the years, they've only been able to get away with small raids across the border."

"All that would be correct," Max replied, "if she was acting alone."

"What do you mean?" Iris asked.

Max met my eyes, and I just knew. I felt my blood run cold.

"Ironwood," I said. Not a question.

Max nodded.

Barry stiffened. Iris and Saoirse looked confused.

"Isn't Ironwood the name of Thalia's..." Iris trailed off as realization dawned on her.

"Thalia's pack, yes," I confirmed quietly.

    "This is all my fault," I muttered as Cassian, Max, and Barry left, leaving Saoirse and I in the house. Saoirse frowned. "How is it your fault?" Sighing, I plopped down on the couch. "Julietta. She's doing all this because she's still convinced that I killed our parents. Why would she... Doesn't she see that involving innocent pack members in her quest for revenge is—""Stupid?" Saoirse finished for me. "Yeah. Your sister doesn't really have critical thinking skills." "What am I going to do? I knew staying here was a bad idea especially after how the meeting with her and Axel went."I buried my face in my hands, feeling hot wetness begin to slide down my cheeks. Saoirse set her backpack down and sat beside me, putting an arm around my shoulders. "First of all, Iris, this isn't your fault. It's not your fault your sister and her mate are delusional, and it's certainly not your fault that Cassian has an enemy that was so willing to form an alliance with them.""But..." "Shh." She

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 119: CASSIAN

    I was hardly away from my pack for long periods of time, but whenever I did, I could always feel it taking a toll on me mentally. The mental bonds that tied me to the pack members grew taut with distance, and I always longed to return home. This time was no different. I could also always tell when there was something wrong with my pack or its members. Which was why immediately we got close enough, I was on high alert. I couldn't explain the feeling I got. I was tense, and getting a general feeling of urgency from the pack. I thought of mindlinking Max to ask him, but decided against it since I would be seeing him soon, and it was always better to talk face to face. I got my first proof that something was wrong when halfway to the pack borders, we were stopped by sentries. Usually, the warriors kept to the borders of the pack and didn't venture out to no-man's-land unless there was a suspected threat. They stepped out of the forest, standing right in the middle of the road that l

    I was warm. Almost unbearably so. Through the blankets, I could feel the hardness of the ground beneath my hip. It was uncomfortable, but something kept me from moving. Cassian's arm, thrown across my middle. Sometimes during the night, my shirt had ridden up, making that the first bit of skin on skin contact I'd had in days. Cassian's arm was warm too, but not in a way that made me want to fling it off. I wanted to do the opposite actually. I started to readjust myself a little so I could scooch closer to him. Cassian stirred, his arm tightened around me, and he abruptly dragged me backwards until my back hit his chest, and our bodies were molded together. I gasped. The ground wasn't the only hard thing in the vicinity. Cassian's thighs were perfectly cradled against mine, and further up, his erection rested against my butt. I swallowed. Ever since we started on this godforsaken trip, Cassian had treated me like I was made of glass. I wa sick, yes, but technically, he was the

    "They will come after us," Saoirse said. We all sat around the fire, eating what passed for dinner. We were fast running out of trail rations, and would soon have to hunt more often for meat. But that was only until we could get back to where Cassian's Humvee was parked. Once there, it would only be a two or three day trip back to Silver Creek. "But they've retreated already," Barry pointed out. "What's the point of trying to chase us again when we already got away? They would only be putting themselves in danger." "They stopped the chase," she replied, "because they didn't know about the scrolls I took. They just wanted to capture Cassian and make him pay. But now, everyone will know what I did. And what Cassian did. They will want revenge." Cassian scoffed, his arm over my shoulder, holding me to his side. "Let them come." "Did you really have to cut out his tongue?" Saoirse asked. "You shouldn't have done that." Cassian's expression was unchanging. "He insulted my mate,

    "Wait!" I yelled as Cassian disappeared from sight without a backward glance. He was going back the way we'd come. Towards the witches. Towards certain death. I couldn't let that happen. I rushed after him, only to be gently pulled back by Barry. I snarled at Barry and struggled out of his hold. He simply held me again. "Let me go!" I ordered. He shook his head. "Sorry, Luna. But I have to follow the Alpha's orders." I yanked my hand away. Or tried to. Barry wasn't letting go this time, and I was too fucking weak to do anything. "We have to keep moving," Saoirse said urgently. "They'll catch up to us soon." "I'm not leaving without Cassian!"Saoirse looked resolute. "He knows what he's doing, and he asked us not to let you go after him. He'll find us. Let's go.""No!" "Keep your voice down!" She hissed. "And if you won't come, Barry isn't above carrying you! You'll get us caught if you keep this up." "But Cassian—""Is a grown man who told you he'll be fine. Just trust him,
