~Katarina~

I feel….I feel sick. I feel…I’m confused. The air is thinning out, and I feel like I can’t breathe. I hurry out of the office, stopping right outside of the door. I look to the left and see Luna Trina with her people. They are facing me, but I can’t deal with them right now. I turn to my right and hurry away. I bound down the stairs, surprised I didn’t fall and crack my skull. I can’t see anything clearly, and I think I’m starting to hyperventilate.

I stumble out the front door and fall on the grass. I take huge gulps of air in and shakily let them out. I can’t believe this; it can’t be right. This isn’t true, is it? Calm down, Katarina. We are okay.

Are we? Are we really okay? You just claimed a mate, and it isn’t our fiancèe. What the fuck is going on?

I know what I smelled. I know who our mate is, and I’m not wrong.

It can’t be. Why didn’t we know it sooner?

I don’t know, but it’s true. We have to see him. I guess Hope’s right. We won’t know; well, I won’t know for sur

    ~Unknown -*Danny*~I shift, loving the softness beneath me. This is a change from the last few nights on that tent floor. I shift again, immediately groaning in pain. Everything ached, and it’s taking everything in me not to scream. My mind goes back to what I can remember. Brackston came to tell me that it was time to complete this job he put me on. He let those men beat me, and I’m sure they enjoyed every second of it. I wasn’t able to see my brother or get an update. I don’t believe anything that Brackston says to me because he would lie about anything to get what he wants.I breathe slowly, trying to gather the strength to open my eyes. The moment I succeed, the bright white burns. I quickly close my eyes and try to calm the pain. I slowly open them again, noticing white walls all around me. I feel Mona sluggishly moving around in my mind. It feels so good to feel her that I almost cry. I try to move my body to sit up, but I can’t quite get myself situated. “You should be careful

    ~Dominic~She’s been back there for a while now. I have no idea what’s going on, and I’m slightly freaking out. I’ve been pacing back and forth, and my mind is a mess. She’s my mate; my fated mate. I know that I’ve been wanting this, but I didn’t, honestly, think it would happen any time soon. As badly as I wanted this, I’m not ready. I’m terrified. She doesn’t know who I am, or who I was. She has no idea the horrible things I’ve done. How do I keep her once she finds out?The messed-up thing about this is that I HAVE to tell her the truth. No part of this process would allow me to lie to her about anything. I’ve seen firsthand how things like that end up, and I refuse to go down that path. A hand clamps on my shoulder, making me practically jump out of my skin. I turn to find Aston looking at me. “What happened?” I quickly fill him in, though I’m sure he’s already gotten the short version before he got here. “I had a few warriors go past the border to see if they could get any inf

    ~Unknown~My arms wrap around my body as it shivers. I swear this sleeping bag is useless. It does nothing to shield me from the elements. I wish I were in a better, more comfortable place. I wish I were with Khalid. I still don’t know how my brother is, and it’s eating me alive. I need to see him just to quiet my erratic thoughts. I want to beg and plead, but I know it will fall on deaf ears. “I guess you have decided not to give me a chance.” My breath catches. I didn’t even realize that he had come into the tent. Now that I’m paying attention, his disgusting scent is burning my nose and throat. I swear I don’t think anyone could smell worse, but then there are always rogues. I shift in the bag, not expecting my position to get any better. I can only hope that he doesn’t invade my space like last time. I’ve made my decision, and no amount of pressure is going to change it. I just want to do this last job and leave here with my brother. I feel his presence more as he gets closer.

    ~Dominic~The past two weeks have been great and that’s no exaggeration. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t like Katarina and I are best friends now. It hasn’t been that deep, that quickly. We have found an in-between that works for us, so I can’t be mad about that. I’ve spent more time with the entire family rather than just with Aston and Skye. It’s been wonderful seeing their family dynamics up close, but it’s also hurt like hell. It’s just another reminder that I have no one. I don’t have my fated mate and I don’t even know if she would accept me when I do find her. I sigh and walk into Aston’s office, plopping down on his couch. “Uh oh. What’s up?” I let my head lean back, and close my eyes. “Nothing’s wrong. Did you send out the wedding invites yet?” I feel the couch dip next to me, but I don’t move. “Of course I did. I did it a few days ago. I’m sure we will be getting responses any day now.”“I had to check. You’re the one who was dragging your feet. Your mate would have your he

    ~Brackston~I tighten my fist, really wanting to punch something. I make it to the edge of my camp and shift into my wolf. Khan is just as angry and frustrated as I am. I let him have complete control and watch as the forest zips by. Khan avoids all low branches, as well as any rocks or logs in our path. I let my mind wander back to the conversation we just had, and I get even angrier. Khan comes to a stop and gives me control over our body. I shift back and find my right hand, Teddy Hill, waiting for me. He has a hoodie and sweatpants slung over his shoulder. I grab the clothes from him and put them on. I turn and walk in the direction of the packhouse. Thought I was a rogue, huh? Nah, I’m not even close to one. Those at the camp think I’m a rogue; they even think I’m their leader. I am that, a leader. I do give them instructions here and there, but that’s not the only place I have. I wear a scent that dampers my pack smell. “Well?” I feel Teddy’s presence behind me, and I wish h

    ~Unknown~I have no idea how long it’s been, how long I’ve been in this tent. I lost count as my hunger took over. I’ve barely been given anything to eat or drink. Brackston says that it needs to be believable. I can’t say that I have any idea what he’s talking about. I don’t even know what the supposed plan is supposed to be. I just know that I’m here, suffering, and I’m missing my brother like crazy. I’ve been begging to see him, begging for any updates. I get nothing. Sometimes, depending on who’s in here with me, I’ll get a kick or a slap for my trouble. I don’t even have anything to threaten anyone with. I’m already being denied food and water, for the most part. I’m already being held against my will. There’s nothing I can leverage. Then there is Brackston. Brackston comes in here from time to time, and it’s getting harder to stay away from him. He keeps asking me if I’ve thought about his proposal. What the hell does he expect me to say? Does he really think that I’m going t
