~Katarina~

“Mmm.” I turn my head toward the warmth next to me. I snuggle my head, but it isn't on anything soft. It's on a hard surface, but it smells so good. I blink my eyes open and am looking at a red polo shirt. I let my eyes travel up and am met by the soft brown eyes of King.

“Hey, baby. How are you feeling?” I close my eyes again and let out a sigh.

“What happened?”

“You were in the garden with Tatiana, and you passed out. She told you some news.” My eyes pop open, and I turn my head to

    ~Dominic~I didn’t want to leave Jamorea and Khalid, but it’s important that we have a presence at this ceremony. These are close friends of the pack, and Deacon was the Gamma. We have to show our support no matter what else is going on. The drive is long, but it gives me time to think about things. We will have to check in with the others soon and try to figure out what the next steps will be. I would hope that someone has a clue about Brackston, but I won’t hold my breath. I’m not one for disappointment. I told the warriors to keep their eyes on our special guest in the cells. They need to make sure that they monitor that phone of hers. He’s been calling often, making sure to keep her in the loop. I can tell that she wanted to alert him to what’s going on, but with all of the eyes on her, she didn’t dare. That doesn’t mean that she won’t try it at some point in the future. I don’t know how I will do it, but I will make sure she has enough fear in her heart that she doesn’t deviate

    ~Katarina~My breathing is a bit shallow, and my body feels some pain. I feel small touches on my upper arm. Warmth radiates from the spots. I want to turn and see who it is, but I have no energy in my body. The bed dips next to me and my heart flutters. I can’t even move to see him, and it breaks my heart. His warm lips touch my temple, and he breathes in my scent. “How are you feeling?” I let out a small breath, trying to muster up any strength I may have left. “I’m so tired, drained.” My voice comes out small and thin. I don’t like feeling like this, but what’s the alternative?“Mommy.” Her voice is quiet and filled with emotion. I haven’t spent as much time with her as I would like. I’ve done what I can, but I feel that it isn’t enough. I slowly turn my body, straining to move under the tight covers. I feel so weak, so depleted. I wonder if this is how humans feel every day of their lives. If it is, I would hate to live like this for life. Aston must have realized my silent st

    ~Jionni~*BANG**BANG*I groan and turn to my side. It feels like there’s a blinding light behind my eyes. Maybe I didn’t pull the curtain closed last night. I swallow, but my throat feels dry. I have no idea how long I’ve been out, but it feels like it’s been forever. I don’t really remember much from last night, but that’s usually how this goes. I actually welcome the lack of memory, if I’m being honest. I just wish I could choose what I no longer want to remember. If I could erase the thing that plagues me, it would make my day-to-day that much better. I can admit that I’ve prayed for this very thing. I’ve gotten down on my knees and prayed for the Moon Goddess to take my memories away. I’ve prayed, begging her to make me forget my own name. No matter how many times I’ve asked for this, I was denied. I would wake up the next day with my memories still intact and hurting just as much as they did before. I never really thought I could forget so much, but the pain made me hopeful an

    ~Dominic~I walk into Aston’s office, feeling a bit lighter than before. I know that this isn’t over and that things could get worse, but for now, I will take the win. Jamorea is at peace with her brother here with her. He's getting the best treatment we can provide, and he’s responding well. It’s been almost two weeks since we were able to get him here, and that Brackston bastard keeps calling her every day. He continues to push her off of coming to the hospital without telling her that Khalid is missing. I find it funny, but then again, I know that everything is going to hit the fan sooner rather than later. I’ve been taking the time to try to get to know Khalid. It isn’t an easy thing to do when you take into account that he’s really sick right now. He spends a lot of his time dealing with the medicine that he has to take and how it impacts his body. When he isn’t sleeping or sick, he’s soaking up Jamorea's love. They’ve been missing each other, and I love that they have this tim

    ~Brackston~I let out a sigh and sit back in my chair. All in all, it went as well as it could. I’m not sure what she thought about my explanation, but she took it, and that’s all I was looking for. She wants to talk to Khalid, but I can easily deny it as long as I want to. My door pushes open, and footsteps sound on the hardwood floor. I look up to find the head of my security with a tablet in his hand. “What is it?” He sighs and looks down at the screen. “I’ve been all through the video footage, and there’s nothing. We have no clues and no leads. We have no idea who took him or how.” I slam my fist on the table again in frustration. How can this be? How can a child disappear from a hospital with security outside and inside the room? There’s no way someone walked out of the room with him because we would have seen something. The length of time without video wasn’t long enough for anyone to walk out of this building without being seen. Nothing in the room was off or out of place: n

    ~Third Person~She looks at Dominic with fear in her eyes. She’s trying to do a quick calculation, but things aren’t working out. She needs to get out of here; she needs to find a way to alert her boss that they’ve caught on to her. She watches the call being connected and the speakerphone button being hit. She closes her eyes and sighs, not wanting to think about what she’ll have to do. Her arm is nudged, making her open her eyes. Dominic’s eyes are cold, and she can see his wolf peeking through. He gave her explicit instructions before he connected the call, and the dominance in his voice was unmistakable. He gave her an official command, and there’s no way to fight it. If she could think of something to say, some sound to make, she’d be able to warn Brackston without going against the command. Speak! His voice in her mind startles her out of her thoughts. “Hhhh… Hello?” A throat aggressively clears on the line.“Pay attention!” She swallows, hating the anger in his voice. “Sir?
