Forty-Eight—There’s a possibility you might be with child. **AURORA** “You really think it’s funny huh.” I scoffed loudly as he groaned, “You really thought I wouldn’t protect myself?? You bastard!!” “Don’t shoot!!” He yelled. He stretched forth his hands. I could see the pain he was in and yet I felt no remorse. “You wanted to kill me.” I seethed. “I didn’t..” He groaned, snagging the arrow out of his leg, “I’m telling the truth. I only pushed you down there to save you from danger. My pack was going to— I shot him again and he let out another scream, this time more graining that the last. A part of me hoped Sebastian and the rest wouldn’t hear him, I wanted to hurt Asher myself. My revenge blinded me, an exhilarating sense of pleasure filled me as I watched him groan in pain. “You’re making a terrible mistake.” “Am I?” “The hunters?” He coughed up a bout of blood, seeing my mate look so vulnerable and almost dying shook me to my forehead, “You really
Forty—Nine- **AURORA** I waited until Rowan and the others joined me in the shed, panting heavily. It was the same woman, the one who almost killed me if Sebastian hadn’t stepped in. The tears started to stream from my eyes as I wailed woefully. I clutched onto my jacket, plummeting to the ground in sorrow. Rowan and Sebastian came in, they said nothing, just stared as I sobbed endlessly into the night. A waiter from the small town of Midnight bay, to the lover of an Alpha, now I was in aide to a group of hunters chasing down the supernatural. It hurt me deeply, shooting those arrows at him. A dark feeling wavered over me seeing him grown in pain, a part of my very own conscience wanted to rip the poison arrows out of his legs and apologize. Still, the dreadful memory of his betrayal loomed over all. “Should we talk to her now?” I heard Rowan murmur from behind me. “She just shot her mate,” Sebastian responded, “Give the poor child some time to grieve.”

Forty-Six—My mate is gone **ASHER** Dinah woke up the next morning fully healed, all thanks to Reagan’s spectacular healing powers. I stayed with her all night as she breathed heavily, making sure she was okay and there were no complications. She stirred at a moment in the middle of the night, making the guilt in me deepen even more. It was all my fault. I lied to her. I lied to the pack. I lied to Aurora and I put her in danger. Dinah yawned loudly as she finally opened her eyes and turned around. I remained seated on the chair next to her, tired but unable to sleep another wink, as every darkness reminded me of my betrayal. “Good morning.” She murmured. I nodded in response. An awkward silence ensued between us. She smiled now, “Did you stay with me all night.” I nodded again. She sighed, “Come on Asher. You should speak to me.” “I’m sorry,” I muttered finally, “I should’ve stayed away from her. I shouldn’t have lied to you and the rest of th

Forty-Five—War is Coming(2)**AURORA** I couldn’t sleep, despite cozy room I was given. The windows gave me a Mountain View of Midnight Bay, a rather beautiful sight to behold. I stared at it, my eyes catching Monsoon Creek from afar. Asher’s last words still playing in my ears. I was willing to forgive him, accept him whole. I wanted him, werewolf and all. I didn’t even get the chance to show my true feelings, until he showed his true self by betraying me. Stifling a yawn, I walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Then a knock came moments later, i turned around sharply to see Sebastian by the doorway. “Hi.” I muttered. “Beer?” He asked. I looked down at his hands and saw a six pack of Star Rager. I nodded and he came in, placing the case by the bedside. He corked open one of the bottles and handed it to me. I took a swift gulp. “So…” he smiled, “Why didn’t you tell Billie Jo that you slept with the Alpha already?” I paused. Froze even. My hands
