Marly POV I dragged myself from the bed with Carson and slowly made my way to the door. Alex glanced back and saw me trying to get to him. I tripped and closed my eyes as I prepared to hit the floor only to be caught in what felt like familiar arms. I opened my eyes, and realized I was in Alex’s arms. He had caught me. “I promise you, we can fight him,” I said to him as he helped me stand. The King turned and shut the door, as the four of us stood in the room. “How? You are weak, your mate is in a coma; how do you think we will fight the Rogue King?” he asked, disbelieving what I was saying. “I have special powers,” I said, taking a leap of faith and trusting him. He looked at me skeptically. “What do you mean?” he asked. “As a royal female wolf, I have some powers that I have only learned about,” I shared. Alex looked at me in awe, “He was right. He had said you were special,” he replied. I had a mom
Alex POV “Let me look at her,” I said far more calmly than I felt. I had never attempted to help another before. I had been able to help wounded animals, a fact I kept a secret from the Rogue King. I knew he would mock me, a wolf, for wanting to help animals. The reality was I had known I was different from a young age. I just did not know why. If what Marly was saying was true, I must have inherited this from my parents. The Rogue King has been beating at my barrier ever since we left. I knew he would be furious, but I could not have helped myself, even if I had wanted to. The warriors were strong, and I was in shock with all that I had heard from Marly. I saw her slumped on the floor. I had no idea what to do to help her, so I picked her up in my arms, and simply held her. There was a man standing off to the side, I believed to be their Beta, questioning what I was doing. “I have no idea,” I replied simply. This woman
Marly POV I ran with Jeff and Sarah to the hospital. Many were trying to stop me to express their gratitude that I was home, but I could not stop. I only wanted to see Carson. To see for my own eyes what everyone else was telling me. That I would lose Carson. I felt emotion start to take over, but I stopped it immediately. Carson needed me to be strong, and I would be for both our sakes. Walking into the hospital was a somber experience. Many bowed their heads to me, as I walked past them. Nobody cheered, allowing me to understand the relevance of what I would be facing. Jeff came to stop in front of a hospital room and simply looked me in the eyes. Carson was behind that door and my heart raced at what I would find. But I needed to see for myself what was happening. I slowly pushed open the door, stepped inside the room and closed the door behind me. I leaned against the door for strength, as I lifted my eyes to look at
Marly POV It was almost midnight. The nerves in my stomach were bouncing around, almost making me ill. I had been waiting for what felt like forever, but it had not been that long. I was dressed in a black top, and black leggings which I had found in the drawers full of clothes. My hair was in a tight bun, and I had black sneakers on my feet. I did not know if I would be able to shift into Layla. I had still not heard from her, and I worried something drastic had happened. But I could not focus on that for the moment. Right now, I needed to focus on escaping. As the clock struck midnight, I heard a silent click in my room. I had been holding my breath, waiting for what I did not know. But I followed the sound to the patio door. I looked down and what was once locked, was now unlocked. I looked around outside, looking for whoever had unlocked the door but there was nobody. Was this a trick? Was I being tested by the Rogue
Marly POV Alex left shortly after we had spoken. For the first time since arriving here I had hope that I would make it out alive. I worried about Carson every minute, wanting to get some sign that he was looking for me. But I kept coming up blank. No sound. No nudging in my mind. I had gently touched Alex’s arm when he was here, but I could not read anything. Was it because of my wolf, Layla, still being docile? Or was it something more complex? Like I could not read him because he was my sibling. I had touched Carson many times and nothing had been blasted at me. I had not thought anything more of it than it was because he was transparent with me so there were no thoughts to come up. I laid back down on my stomach. I was aching and needed to rest so I could be prepared for what was to come. As I lay there, in a deep sleep, I had not realized somebody had entered my room. I felt chilled and moved to try and gently lif
Marly POV “It is true. You are her brother,” the Rogue King repeated. The man stood there in shock. “You are joking, right?” he asked, seeking some type of reasonable explanation for what he was hearing. “Not at all. She is your sister; soon to be my mate,” he stated confidently. The man walked away from us, not saying a word, before turning back and coming to stand in front of me. “We are twins?” he asked. I nodded, “Yes,” I replied softly. He simply stared at me. “All of these years, I have felt like I was missing something. Years where I felt pain, when I had no reason to. Was that you?” he asked. “I do not know for certain, but I did experience a lot of pain over the years from abuse I took at the hands of my non biological parents,” I admitted. He looked sad, “Did you feel anything?” he asked. “I felt like I was missing something. But I was also hoping there was an explanation for why my family hated me so much,”
