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 I held on tighter to Tristan. He placed his arm around me. As we waited silently. I could feel Tristan's heart beating. Or maybe it was mine? I heard the rock scraping the ground indicating that the cave was opened. "Hey fellas, who wants to see the body of a dead Silvercrest
Crystal’s POV "Yes, yes. It's me." I told him. It's then that he noticed Roman as well. His face darkened. "What's he doing here?" Before Roman could say anything, I pipped up. "Helping. He's helping. We're gonna get you out of here. Can you get up?" "He has one foot, Crystal." Roman spo
Crystal’s POV We used the night as cover. Roman was right about the evacuation, many of the soldiers who hadn't gone off to fight with Ornyx were helping assemble people and carry bags. I saw mothers getting their kids ready and men storing up supplies. I frowned thinking of how they would b
