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

Tristan’s POV The first time I went into battle, Raphael had been there, my big brother in the army if you would like. He taught me that in war there was no room for mercy, no room for hesitation. Especially if you were dealing with the shadow pack. Wanna know the funniest thing about war? You
Crystal’s POV The tanker was quiet as we drove through the woods. The sun was setting and I knew we were all shaken by the idea that any time from now Ornyx would strike. But I think we could all agree that the darker news upon us right now was that of Bridget. I couldn't believe she could b
Tristan’s POV People chanted all around us. Mostly profanities and insults towards me as the guard dragged me to a crowd that had gathered in a circle. Some spat at me, others threw stuff. I tried to ignore them and remain focused on the mission. My eyes squinted to adjust to the sun. The
