Masuk“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
“I’m not sure what to do.” I say over my shoulder to Brianna. “The window felt right, but nothing here does.” I feel stupid. The magic looks so easy when the witches use it, and I don’t know why I thought it would be easy for me to spot it or feel it or whatever with the amount of time I have spent

51 - ElaraI let my rage at being forced to Alpha command one of my own simmer under my skin. I know Ben can feel it, but he isn’t asking any questions. That is what I have been fighting against my whole life. Our pack is too small, there is no reason to have to force anyone to listen if you lead c
54 - BenI move to sit up and feel another wave of nausea hit me. Which pisses me off. What kind of Beta am I if I can’t even handle a small flash of magic that my mate apparently conducts naturally?“Sit for just a moment Ben. The effect will wane in time.” Brianna’s formal declaration has the oppo
Do you promise to uphold the safety of the Black Claw pack?”“I do.” She pushes the tip of the knife into my palm and I try to hold back a hiss at the contact of the silver blade.“Do you promise to put the lives of the Black Claw pack members above your own?”“I do.” She starts to drag the blade, a
47 - BenIt would probably be better if I had more answers, but I don’t and the disembodied voice isn’t helping my case. If I were the type to make a bet I would say the witch was listening in and having fun with us. I am not one to make bets I am not guaranteed to win.I feel Elara stiffen next to
