LOGIN“So far, we have not encountered anything too terrible. Marietta can help too, but we need to hurry. I think we found our reason and possibly a solution to our situation. And…if we are right, we are on a deadline.”She jumps back from the window as I lift Marietta in, then follow my mate through the
105 - BenArriving back at the packhouse is surreal. Elara’s pack, our pack has been so sufficient in recovering from this attack that the only sign of a problem is the teetering and singed packhouse itself.There is no one else lying around injured, no cries for help or panic. Coven and Pack member
“Ben, this is amazing!” Trevor, a pack warrior, claps me on the back as we step through the main doors.“It’s not done, but it’s good enough to house everyone.” I shrug and look around for Marge and Maggie. Spotting them with a group of younger witches, I call out, “Marge! I need your help.” And jog
104 - BenI am going to lose my mind. She will be the death of me for sure. I would prefer to die buried inside her than worrying about what she is doing inside the crumbling packhouse with Brianna. I have been standing guard over Jason and Juliette for over an hour now. The steam has finally stoppe

50 - ElaraI was hoping I would see Melodie first, she at least would have pretended to be calm and civil.“Hello Deacon, I wanted to introduce our new Beta…”He cuts me off, “So, now that your dad is gone, you’re just going to throw Richard and the rest of them to the side?” He huffs out, and Ben f
“You plan to give up territory to a bunch of witches who could turn on you at any moment?” Richard scoffs.“It’s no different than a Gamma poisoning his Luna, is it?” Ben says not looking away from me. “I didn’t say give them land, but bring them here, onto ours. Offer them protection in exchange fo
Sebastian lets out a laugh, “I thought they were doing alright there for a while. What I really wish was to see Jeff’s face when you sent him back to the Goddess. After everything he did and how we are here suffering, he got off easy…”“You are in luck in that at least.” I interrupt and they both lo
I sit and sip and do my damnedest to not make a face. It tastes worse than it smells, but the moment the lukewarm liquid rolls down my throat, I feel relaxed and calm. The nausea that has been simmering in the pit of my stomach is all but gone. A small sigh escapes my lips and I know the witches hea
