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

Crystal’s POV For hours all I heard was shuffling. Movement, yelling, talking. I paced back and forth in the tent I was in. I could see the reflection of the guards positioned all around just waiting for the moment I tried to make a run for it. I wanted to panic but I couldn't. I felt jump s
Crystal’s POV He was menancing. His build tall and big. His facial hair was salt and pepper. His very presence reeked of intimidation and power. I don't know if I should have been surprised to see my mother by his side. My stomach immediately sank. Oh no. Raph. "Valencia!" He held his
Crystal’s POV I gasped. "Wha-" Another loud scream filled the air and more gunshots. Raphael was breathing heavily. "Ambush!" He let out. He turned and gave my mother a harsh look. He gripped my arms. "You have to get out of here." My eyes widened. "What, no, I'm not leaving the team."
