Marly POV Looking to Carson, “What do you make of his final threat?” I asked. “I do not know but I am not waiting to find out. We will have our chosen mate ceremony as soon as it can be arranged,” Carson stated, before taking my hand and walking back to his office. We had left the three sisters alone and needed to check on them. As we entered the room, we found the sisters sitting and holding Cecilia’s body in their arms. Tears were rolling down their cheeks, “We never knew,” they kept murmuring, as if seeking peace and forgiveness from Cecilia. “How could he have manipulated such a strong witch?” the third sister asked. I stepped forward moving towards the women, “When you love someone as much as Cecilia loved the Elder, it is clear she was blinded by that love, and lost to everyone around her,” I shared as the sisters looked at me. “Can you bring her back?” the first sister asked, pleading with me to do something. I looked at her sadly, “W
Carson POV I watched as Cecilia pointed to Marly, before she fell to her knees. “What is happening?” I asked, as I watched behind the invisible shield trying to understand what was taking place. I could not hear what was being said, and I was savagely trying to break the shield with no success. Not so much as a crack. I was outraged at being held back from being inside to help Marly. “You being in there would be worse for Marly,” Jeff stated, as if reading my mind. “I could help her,” I spit out, as he shook his head. “No, Carson; she would be so worried about you, she would not be able to focus on surviving,” he commented. I stood there, thinking about what he had said. He was right. Marly would always try to protect me first, as I would do for her. “I am useless outside of this barrier,” I muttered, feeling helpless as I watch my mate prepare to fight this unknown woman. I could not understand why Cecilia was bent over, as if she was in
Marly POV “Your sister?” I questioned, surprised that they would be after her. “Why are you willing to help us?” I added. “Because she needs to be stopped. We thought she had been long gone, but clearly, she was hiding, becoming stronger, and more bitter,” the leader stated. “We love her, but we know she needs to be stopped,” the second added. “Did you ever meet Elder John?” I asked, curious about the relationship between Cecilia and John. “Only once,” the third sister replied sadly. “He was a cold man, where Cecilia had always been affectionate up to that point,” the sister added. “We told her we thought he was not good for her; that was mistake number one,” the first sister said. “Why?” Sarah asked, both of us entrenched in the story. “Because it was the first time we had a barrier between us. We knew she deserved better. He was not good for her. She grew colder around us, until one day she turned on all of those who loved her,” t
Marly POV “What does that mean, Marly?” Carson asked me. I felt both Carson and Marise move closer to me. “She is in this general area, from what my program is telling me,” I replied, turning the laptop to Carson. “That seems too easy. She wants to be found,” Marise stated, concern filling her voice. “What does that mean, Marise?” Carson asked getting frustrated at the puzzle around him. “It means she has already come to you. You do not need to track her down. She wanted you to find her. She has come to fight,” Marise stated, a chill running down my back. “Why?” I asked. “You destroyed her mate. She wants payback. Only her payback will result in death,” Marise replied. Carson studied the map, “She is with his body,” he replied, turning to head out the door. “Do not go unprepared, Carson. You will get many killed, including yourself,” Marise stated. “You cannot know that,” Carson replied angrily. “I do know that. I have a
Carson POV I was furious at the moment. Marly had taken such a huge risk, I could hardly see straight. And now this woman, was in front of her and I could see the power resonating from Cecilia as she spoke with Marly. “I bet you think you are so smart; figuring out who I am,” Cecilia responded. “Well, it has definitely thrown you off,” Marly responded, not showing a hint of fear. “It has not thrown me off. I want to know why John was murdered,” Cecilia stated bluntly. “He was not murdered, he was destroyed,” Marly stated. “Why?” Cecilia demanded to know. “He was a toxic virus that needed to be destroyed,” I said, interjecting myself into the conversation. “Ah, I see your fated mate is there with you … or rather was your fated mate,” Cecilia added with a chuckle. “You bitch! I will kill you before this is all done,” I spit out, pissed at everything happening beyond my control. “I would like to see you try, Lycan,” she responded calmly.
Marly POV My heart was racing as I tried to hack into the computer. I tried every sequence, every trick I could imagine. I knew Carson was tracking down our team who has some experienced in safely detonating bombs. However, I could not give up trying, I needed to break into this computer. It had critical information. It had to, otherwise, why would it be protected? I felt Carson pacing beside me but I had successfully blocked him out. I was down to nine minutes, and I felt sweat on my brow. “Marly, let it go. We can find Cecilia some other way,” Carson urged, wanting to toss the laptop before it blew up in my face. “I cannot give up. There are big secrets here for them to want to keep us out,” I said, my face determined to continue at the task at hand. I heard people entering the door, “Marly, let the squad take a look,” Carson urged, but I shook my head no. “There is no time to let that happen, Carson. Just trust me,” I re
