 As Safire got to the lake she laid down next to a big tree and let Kaya take control over her body and mind.

"You really needed that run didn't you Saf?" I say as I stretch my bones.

"We both needed it." Saf said as I pulled the clothes from the backpack and started dressing.

"So what is our plan, we can't hide forever they are going to trace us eventually?"

"I need answers, but I also need time to take this in." I say as I sit down under the tree.

"I can sense you are angry, but it doesn't make you love them any less."

 "Of course I'm angry, they lied to me my whole life. And yes I know what you are going to say, they love me like their own but that is not in discussion here. Trust is." I say with frustration.

"And the fact that Jake loves you." Saf so kindly reminded me.

"Don't ok, just don't go there."

"I told you he gave me a weird vibe."Saf hummed in my head.

"He is my brother, I will never be able to see him as anything else. Honestly, I dont know how to even look at him anymore." I say.

"Well he is not the only one who is going to look for you, Atlas should have woken up by now." I hate the way she purres his name.

"Our Luna should keep him enough occupied, and besides she gave me her word she wouldn't tell him where to find me." 

"He is our soulmate, once awakened a connection like that it only grows stronger." Saf said convinced.

"He is not our soulmate, I don't feel connected to him." I said annoyed.

"I don't understand why you don't feel it, but I... the more the time passes and the further we go, I feel a burn around my heart. I never felt that before." Saf confessed.

"I thought you said you couldn't reach him."

"I can't, and for some reason it hurts. But it also makes me believe he will search every corner of every forest until he finds you."

I look up into the forest on the other side of the lake.

"The forest," I say.

"What about it."

"Jack said they found me in the forest as a baby Saf. Someone abandoned me in the forest. They left me to die."

I say as tears form in my eyes.

"You don't know that, maybe someone lost you." Saf said to console me.

"What, someone went on a picnic and forgot about me." I say sarcastically.

"Don't think about it now, we come here to distract ourselves. Go for a swim, it will help you clear your head." Saf said to me and I listened.I swam for the entire afternoon, I got out of the lake just before the night fell to draw up a fire. Even though I hadn't eaten in the whole day it didn't bother me, I fell asleep next to the fire unsure of what will be tomorrow. The feeling of the sun on my face woke me up, but also the sound of car tires on the stone path.

"Someone is coming." I said to Saf as I got up.

"I know the sound of that engine, it's your dad's truck. The other three I don't know." Saf said.

As the truck came into vision I saw it was Jack behind the wheel. I took my backpack on my back as he came out of the truck.

"I don't want to talk to you." I say to Jack.

"I know you are not ready and I'm not here because of that Kaya. You need to leave, he sent for you." He said urgently.

"Who?"

I asked as three SUVs approached us.

"The future Alpha. They came yesterday, they have orders to take you. Forcefully if necessary. I traced you so I could warn you." Jack said.

"What you did was lead them right to me." I say as several men descend from the SUV's. The front man is a bit shorter than the rest but fairly built. He walked up to me as Jack took a stand in front of me.

"Oh don't be ridiculous," I say as I go in front of him.

"Kaya Knight, I have orders to bring you to the pack's mansion." The man spoke.

"Who's orders?" I ask as if I don't already know.

"Atlas Stryker, our future Alpha." He said as he snapped his fingers and his man came for me.

The first guy grabbed my hand and tried to pull me but I twisted his arm, pulled his jacket over his head, and used my foot to send him flying into the other guy.

"There is no need for you to put your hands on me, I can walk." I said as I passed him and entered the SUV.

"I told you so." Saf said.

"Oh shut up."

  • The Forsaken   Chapter 77

    The word blood doesn’t echo, it lands. Heavy. Final.Every wolf in the clearing stiffens at once. Even the wind seems to hold its breath. Atlas’s fingers tighten around mine like iron, his other hand already inching toward his blade, though he doesn’t draw it."What?" My voice isn’t steady anymore. It breaks, sharp as glass. "My what?"The elder woman takes a single step closer. Her eyes don’t blink. "Your blood," she repeats, and now her voice isn’t soft at all. "It’s the only way to seal what you’ve broken open."The ritual Atlas did on his ceremony. They want me to swear to this ground, leave my mark on it, and them. Goddess, maybe I should just do it and get it over with. Maybe this is where the voice wanted me to come. Maybe all of this is true even if it feels like a crazy dream. "Fine, I will do it. I will give you my blood and with it claim the right to the pack, and after that, I leave." They all share a look, not really sure what about, but it feels like fear. "But I will co

    What comes next?What comes next?What. Comes. Next?No matter how I turn it, I do not find an answer to that question. The plan was to cross this territory, not become the Alpha of it. And I hate how everyone is staring at me… well, except for Cole, who is still blissfully unconscious. For a second, I would actually like to switch places with him.I swallow hard, my throat dry, my palms trembling though the glow still crawls under my skin like it’s alive. My voice is hoarse when it comes, but it carries anyway:"For starters, how about you all rise to your feet." The words leave me before I can think about them, and they’re not a question. They’re not a plea. They’re a command.And they obey.The clearing moves like a single creature. Knees lift from the earth, spines straighten, heads rise, dozens of them, maybe more, all at once, like the sound of a great forest of branches snapping upright. The glow tethering them to me flickers once, then brightens, spilling up their arms, their t

    "What now?" Sofia asks, looking down at the rogues. I have no idea what now. Too many things happened so fast, and between Cole getting hurt and then being saved, I barely had time to draw a breath. "Let me," Amara says as she crunches down next to me, taking Cole's head in her lap so I can stand. "Kaya," Atlas pulls me to his side, his palms coming to rest on my cheeks as he takes a good look into my eyes. So many emotions on his face, more than I could count. "You are Alpha, Kaya. The Alpha of Silver Cressett." Not sure if that was a question or a simple statement. I'm not sure of anything. I keep telling myself it's not possible, that the Alpha is always a son... and that even if I wanted to be the daughter of an Alpha, the Silver Cressett hasn't had an Alpha in more than 300 years. None of this should be real, and yet, now here, standing on this ground... I feel the weight of it settle over me like a cloak I never asked for. Heavy. Unrelenting. Living. But I do not want it. I c

    The word hangs in the air like a blade, Alpha, and it cuts through me just as sharp. My breath comes ragged, the red glow fading but not gone. It’s still there, humming under my skin like something alive."No," I whisper, shaking my head. "No, that’s not..."But the rogues stay on their knees, eyes lowered, trembling. The pressure holding them down isn’t even intentional. It’s me, and that realization makes my stomach lurch. But my confusion, my pain, is to be put aside. I can't think about anything while Cole is bleeding out. "It's not possible, for more than one reason, first being..." Shaun does what he always does, tries to reason."A woman." Amara says. "A female Alpha." "There is no such thing," Shaun says. "Stop it." I say as I drop to the ground, putting my hand over Cole's bleeding wound. "Help me, he isn't healing." I beg... all of them. My hands are already slick with his blood, hot and sticky between my fingers. I press harder against the wound, but it’s deep, deeper th

    "Why not just have the witch lift a shield around us?" Shaun asks, his voice cutting clean through the thick silence.All eyes snap to Amara. She doesn’t flinch, doesn’t even blink. She just tilts her head slightly toward Shaun, her expression sharp, almost salty."It requires a lot of power not only to lift a shield but to hold it up," she says, voice dry as a blade. "So between already doing that once today and the magic I used on Kaya, I’m a bit drained right now."I feel my stomach twist at her words. The magic she used on me. Of course, it cost her. Of course, there’s a price. I knew that, I just ignored it for a second."Great, so the witch is useless," Thalia says. "Now what?""She’s not useless," I say, turning to Thalia, voice shaking but steadying with every word. "She’s tired. She’s spent. And she still hasn’t left."Thalia exhales through her nose, not quite apologetic, but not pushing it either. "Fine. No shield. Then someone better come up with something else.""I already

    The word leaves my mouth like a stone dropped into a well. Everyone stiffens at once. Sofia edges closer to Shaun without even realizing it, but she is not hiding behind him, no. She is more than ready to fight if she has to, even if she breaks a nail doing so. Shaun instantly shifts his weight, his body sliding into that easy, quiet readiness that only years of Beta training can give you. His eyes are already scanning the tree line, the way mine are.“Where?” Atlas’s voice is a growl now, not a question. He’s already stepping forward, his own power humming under his skin like a storm building pressure.I lift my chin just slightly, eyes narrowing on the distant shapes. They aren’t moving like hikers. They’re too still. Too coordinated. The shadows waver, then solidify, figures, low and lean, spaced like a hunting line. My stomach drops.“Straight ahead,” I say, low but clear enough for everyone. “About forty yards. Maybe more. They’re waiting.”Thalia draws in a slow breath through he
