Rose's POV "My mate will not be harmed just because of some prophecy you claim is true. You won't even answer any of our questions," Derek growled. "I agree my daughter will not be going back to the dark realm," My mom said Joyce, whom I now know is my grandmother, wants to take me back to the evil realm to find some magic book that Cheryl, her sister, stole from her. To say Derek and my mom are upset would be an understatement. They look like they want to rip her head off. "That book has information about the prophecy. It also has spells that could help us defeat the dark realm. When we return, I will answer any questions you may have," Joyce explained, and we all looked at her. "Did you forget Rose doesn't know how to use her powers correctly? What if something were to happen and she needed to protect herself? She wouldn't be able to," My mom said "I know she will be fine. I have witnessed it. There's no way we'll win this battle if she doesn't go," Joyce said Derek and my mo
Rose's POV "What happened to them? Are they hurt?" Aunt Lisa asked as we teleported back into the packhouse "They are just sleeping," Joyce said "Why? Did someone do something to them," My mom asked Just then, Mark and Derek started moving. They were beginning to wake up. Derek looked around, confused, before becoming angry "What did you do to us?" he asked, looking at Joyce "Nothing that will harm you. I just cast a little sleeping spell," She said "Why would you put them to sleep?" My mom asked "If I hadn't cast the spell, they would have let her go into the house to get the book," "Are you alright?" Derek asked as he rose from the floor. He pulled me close and smelled my scent. I did the same thing, smelling his scent, which made me feel safe and relaxed. "Yes! I'm alright. I found the book," I said "Did anyone see you?" Derek asked "No, I found the book and left quickly," I said "Good," he said, softly kissing my lips. "If anything had happened to you, I don't
Mark's POV "Are you okay, son?" My father asked. I took one of my cigarettes and lighter from my pocket and lit it. Before responding, I took a few puffs. "I'm not sure, Dad. How would you feel if you found out your mother was an evil witch who drugged your father for her to become pregnant by him? Not to mention she tricked him into thinking he was her mate, "I said while looking him in the eyes. "Now, tell me how you feel right now, dad," I asked. "I know it's a lot to find out in one day, but you must relax. We'll need each other to defeat whatever comes our way. "What about Mom?" I asked. Even though we didn't always get along, she was still my mother. "I'm not sure, son," he admitted. We stood there in silence, not knowing what to say. "Are you mad that she tricked you into having me?" I inquired. He turned to face me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "I don't like that she drugged me, but I wouldn't have you if she hadn't. I love you, and you are my son. So I
Derek's POV "Derek! I'm so sorry about Rose. You must be going through a lot," Vivian said as I entered the room. She approached me and tried to pull me into a hug. It took everything I had not to throw her against the wall. "Yeah, thanks," I said as I stepped away from her. Vivian sat down next to her father again, while Jason, Mark, and I sat on the other side of them. "They said you needed our help finding the Witch they kidnapped," Jacob said, making me angry. "That Witch is my mate," I growled in my Alpha voice. I could tell he was nervous by his expression. "Right, your mate. I'm not sure how I can help you find her because they moved her before we escaped," he said nervously. "Well, I was hoping you two could show us where you were taken. Maybe we can find evidence there," I explained. "Alright, but I don't think anything will be there. They seemed to be using magic to stay hidden," He said "Alright, let's go," I said and stood to leave. "Do you think we
Landon's POVWhy is she acting like I don't exist? I know she feels the bond just as I do. It has to be because of her father. When I realized Vivian was my mate at that party when I was eighteen, I knew I would protect and cherish her for the rest of our lives. She seemed to feel the bond that night just as I did but then ran away. That was the last time I saw her until today.Her father has always wanted her to be with Derek. I remember when Beta Jacob came up to me a few days after I found out Vivian was my mate, and he told me to stay away from her. He said that she was destined to be with Derek. He told me my father would pay if I tried to be with her. I laughed at him because even though my father was Gamma and Jacob was Beta; my father was stronger than him. I knew my father would have no problem winning if they ever fought. Jacob knew that, too, so he threatened the one person I couldn't let get hurt. He threatened his daughter.He had told me that if I showed any bond with
Jacob's POVWhy would Derek want Landon to guard Vivian? I need to keep her away from him. I can't let him ruin everything by trying to claim her. Right now, I am making tea. I took out the potion the witch gave me years ago and put some in one of the cups. I knew I would need to give her extra since Landon and Vivian had come into contact. So I usually gave it to her early morning when she first woke up.Some may think I am a horrible father, but I am trying to get back what my family worked to build. That is the Blue Moon Pack. This is our pack, not Derek's and his father's.Vivian is the only one that can get back what is rightfully ours. She can't be mated to that Gamma. He isn't worthy of her anyway,I nodded to the pack warrior guarding my daughter's door and went inside. I could see that Vivian was deep in thought."What are you thinking about?" I asked her"Nothing," She said, and I knew she was lying"Here, this should make you feel better," I said, handing her the cup of te
"What is that," Landon asked as Vivian took a sip of the tea I had brought her. "It is my dad's special tea," She said "I didn't know you had a special tea, dad. Can I try some?" Jace asked. Vivian was about to give him the cup, but I grabbed it before he could. "That one is cold. I will make you some later," I said Jace looked at me for a moment and then nodded. "I am going to check on your mother; I will see the two of you later," I said to Jace and Vivian. "Alright, dad, bye," Jace said I exited the room with the cup of tea in my hand. Jace's POV "What do you think was in that cup? It couldn't' just be tea," Landon asked through mind-link "I don't know, but I am going to find out," I replied through the link "Hey Sally, I need you to come to Vivian's room and take some of her blood. I want you to check it and see if anything that shouldn't be there is," I mind-linked Sally "Alright, Jace, I will be there shortly," She said, and we cut the link. "Sally is going to com
Rose's POVSally mind-linked me and told me that she is running labs to see if Vivian has wolfsbane in her system," Derek said "Why would she believe she has wolfsbane in her system," My mom asked"She found bruises and whip marks on her back. She believes they are at least a year old," Derek said"Why would someone give her wolfbane?" My dad asked"I don't know. I think Jacob has something to do with it. Jace said she was drinking tea when he walked in and asked for some; Jacob snatched the cup before he could get it." Derek said"I thought they had a good relationship. I guess I was wrong," My dad said"You never know what goes on behind closed doors," My mom said"You ready to go back to our room Rose?" Derek asked, and I noddedI said goodbye to my parents and walked with Derek to our room.Derek grabbed me by the waste as soon as we walked into the room. He placed a kiss on my lips passionately. I had missed his lips on mine. I pulled on his hair to bring his body closer to me.
