Alethea

Xena grows restless in my mind. Her movements feel strange, making me even more anxious. I don't know what to make of it, but a deep sense of unease settles in my chest.

I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself, but Asher notices. His brow furrows as he looks at me. "Are you okay, Ally?" his hand is still resting on the small of my back.

I nod quickly, even though I'm not entirely sure. Being with Asher gives me a sense of security, like as long as he's here, I won't fall apart.

"I can walk you back to your room if you don't want to be here," he offers. "Or we can reschedule."

"Oh no, no," shaking my head. "These are powerful Alphas. They've traveled from their four kingdoms. It would be rude to reschedule now."

Asher studies me carefully, clearly not convinced. I can tell he's ready to turn back if I say the word.

I force a reassuring smile. "Let's go in."

He doesn't move right away. "Are you sure?" His voice is gentle but filled with concern.

"I'm sure, Asher."

    AletheaMy brain feels like it has been drained dry like someone sucked the thoughts right out of my head. My eyes are foggy as if smoke is clouding my vision. A relentless headache pounds against my skull and my entire body feels weak, but the sensation that I've been run over by a truck makes me wince in pain. I try to pry my eyes open, desperate to catch a glimpse of where I am and what's happening around me, but it feels impossible. My eyelids are so heavy as if they're weighed down by lead. I lift my hand-at least, I try to. But it's too damn heavy. It takes everything in me just to move my fingers. Try harder. Summoning every bit of willpower I have left, I force my hand up to my face. The moment my fingers brush against my skin, something shifts. With one final push, I wipe my eyes, and-boom. My eyelids suddenly give way, peeling open with effort. Blinding light greets me, and I blink rapidly as my surroundings come into focus. Confusion tightens around my chest. Where.

    AsherMy gut tells me that this is more than just a simple kidnapping. Ally wasn’t taken at random. Someone has been waiting for this moment. Someone who has known all along who she truly is. And if Selena has been keeping her hidden all these years, then she knows something too. Something she hasn’t told me. I turn to face her, watching as she wipes her tear-streaked face. Her hands tremble, her breathing uneven. She’s scared. But I don’t have time to comfort her. I need answers. “Selena,” I say, with a firm voice. “Tell me the truth. All of it. Why would someone take Ally? And don’t tell me you don’t know—because I can see it in your eyes. You do.” She hesitates, looking away, her fingers curling into tight fists. That’s all the confirmation I need. I take a step closer. “You’ve been hiding her for a reason. That means you knew this day would come. What are they after? What does Ally have that they need?” Selena exhales shakily as if trying to steady herself, but her e

    Asher"What the fuck are you telling me? Ally has been taken?"I roar through the mind link; my voice blazing off with fury. My hands tremble as I clutch the desk in my office, my claws threatening to pierce through the wood."I gave you a fucking instruction to guard her with your life, and you're telling me she's gone?"My chest rises and falls rapidly, rage and panic mixing in a lethal storm in me. I can't wrap my head around it. Just when I was about to make things right with her—boom. My mate is taken.I rake a hand through my hair, my breath coming in sharp bursts. Oh, Goddess. Can the universe be any more cruel?Across the room, Declan shifts slightly in his sleep, curled up on the couch like he doesn’t have a single worry in the world. I force myself to calm down, taking a deep breath so I don’t wake him. But the relief is short-lived."Where are you now? How the hell did this happen?" I demand through the mind link.Liam’s voice comes through, strained and filled with regret.

    Alethea Liam stiffens the moment he receives the mind link. I notice the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw tightens, but I don’t ask what it’s about. It’s none of my business. At least, that’s what I tell myself—until he turns and looks at me. His gaze is intense and unreadable, but I can feel it. This is about me. “What?” I finally ask, my spoon pausing mid-air. Liam exhales sharply. “Alpha Asher says I should bring you back. Immediately.” My eyes widened. Just like that? He suddenly decides I have to go home? “He misses you, Ally,” Xena purrs in my head, her voice laced with longing. I roll my eyes. “To hell with missing me.” She huffs but doesn’t argue. I turn back to Liam. “But I just got here.” He doesn’t respond, but his expression tells me he won’t defy his Alpha’s command. Still, I push. “Come on, Liam. You can stay with me the whole time if you want, but I’m not leaving yet. The city is beautiful, and I haven’t even seen half of it.” I pout a

    AsherWhat the hell is Ally doing at Gaita's place? That Witch has never seen anything but doom and destruction. What could she possibly tell her that might affect us? Worse, I can't seem to get a grip on things between us, and now I don't know if Gaita is about to plant a seed of discord. Frustrated, I rake my fingers through my hair, staring at the old journal on my desk. The pages blur together, and no matter how many times I read them, everything seems to repeat itself. "You've been ignoring the journal about your father, haven't you?" Kaidos speaks up, his voice unusually calm. He's never this calm, and it puts me on edge. "What difference does it make, Kaidos?" I snap, gripping the book tighter. "He left me when I needed him the most, and you know how much that hurt me." "You're still hurting," he says, unbothered by my outburst. "That's understandable. But what if there's something you're not expecting in there?" I don't answer him. My mind is too consumed with the chaos

    Alethea "I'll have to take you back to the pack," Liam says firmly. I raise my hand to my chin, pretending to think over his condition, but in reality, my mind is elsewhere. I had planned to go into town today before making this trip to Gaita's home. Now? Everything has changed. Gaita steps into view, her gaze locking with mine. She walks toward me, holding out a small vial filled with a shimmering liquid. "This will help with your weakness," she says, pressing it into my palm. "But it's only temporary. You need to get your mate to mark you, Alethea. You can't avoid it forever." I swallow hard, as I shove the vial into my purse. As if that's even an option. For once, I wish I could believe Asher would mark me. That he'd see me as his and claim me the way a mate should. But I know better. He isn't ready, and I can't bring myself to ask him why. I glance at Liam. He's watching me with an unreadable expression, his jaw tight, his blue eyes dark with something I can't quite place.
