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 Roman turned to look at the outline of the tent where the silhouettes of the soldiers still stood. He got up and stepped closer to me. I immediately flinched and retreated. He frowned. "I truly come in peace." He spoke holding his hands up. He then dug into the pockets of his
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
