LOGINCrystal’s POV I was taken aback. For a few seconds I was speechless. I opened my mouth expecting no sound to come out but I was wrong. "Was?" I was offended and it clearly showed. Tristan chuckled. "What's so funny?" I whined. "Why did you change your mind?" After the year Tristan and
I learnt as much as I could about leading the pack. I still didn't know how Tristan did it. I had barely just graduated high school and all these people looked at me waiting for guidance and protection. It was daunting and nerve racking but I tried my best. The AAP training helped too. I was g
Crystal’s POV (One year later) I learnt to speak in silence. At least around Tristan. When he got too quiet, I knew it was time to get him to a place of isolation where he could sit in his grief without the whole world watching him. I could tell the pack wasn't the same and though our loss
Roman still hadn't returned and I could tell Crystal was worried even though she didn't voice it out. Probably worried about what I might think. But I guess seeing as to how Roman had helped us both escape, maybe I could try to overlook my intense dislike for the guy. Meggy had gotten up sayin

The car pulled up to the safe house. It was way more silent than I had thought it would be. One of Jasmine's guards had been driving. She sat in between Tristan and I. And in a funny way, I felt like she was shielding me from the full extent of his anger. I didn't wait when the car pulled up an
"No. Of course not." Meggy spat at me. "She's Xavier's freaking wife. But she's also the only person who ever came close to escaping the Shadow pack. She chose to return!" My heart shattered. My mother chose to go back to those monsters? Why would she do that? Leave my father and me for them? "Sh
She held the door open for me. "After you." I stared at her momentarily before pushing myself to move. This was what we agreed on after all. When I walked in I don't know what I had been expecting. But the view wasn't as scary as I had been anticipating. A girl sat on the floor in the corner, he
Lying to Tristan was becoming easier and easier and I was ashamed to admit it. Jasmine had left with him only to come back alone with her guards an hour later. Just like we had discussed. Next think I knew we were driving to HQ. "Tristan's gonna figure out what we're doing." I spoke aloud. Even t
