Hector's POVThe way my heart started to beat violently, my eyes started to itch because they were changing color, and my body became so hot that I knew that if I don't calm myself, I would turn in front of all the surviving Rogues. None of them have seen me turn and I intended on keeping it that way. But how could I when Aidan just said the last thing I expected to hear him say?How can Sapphire be dead? How?!I took in deep breaths and my claws started to grow out from my fingers. Aidan soon realize that what was happening was a result of what he told me. He suddenly looked worried even though he had been furious with me for how I neglected everyone and only thought of Nova because I believed only she could save Kayla." Shit...I didn't know you'd react like this, I'm sorry." He started to say as I suppressed growls that were dying to fill the room, growls of anguish. I couldn't make a sound or the others would enter the room and I will for sure turn right in front of them." Hector
Kayla's POVI woke up in a dark room, feeling so cold and my hand stinging because I had been cut with a knife there. I couldn't see a thing but I could tell that I wasn't in my normal environment. Something was wrong. My head felt so heavy and when I tried to think of what happened to me, I could only remember bits and pieces of it. Like, I could remember being in Nova's room, I was telling her something at one point then... someone cut my hand with a knife and I must've fainted and now I'm here? Since it didn't make sense, I tried to think harder but became overwhelmed with pain. My head hurt so much that it felt as if someone slammed a bat against my head. I started to yell when the pain became unbearable. " She's awake! Shh!" I heard a woman's voice say. I winced and closed my eyes because someone abruptly opened what I believed to be the door to whatever prison this was. " Bring her out" I heard a man say, while I lay on the ground, still groaning in anguish and holding my ac
Hector's POV I watched as Sapphire slept peacefully like a child. Her wounds were healing and she was starting to breathe steadily unlike when I first used my magic on her, she was gasping so violently as if she was fighting for air but now she's okay. I had taken her to her room and was watching her and thinking to myself, this is how Sapphire would've died and I wouldn't have her with me anymore? This is how I would've talked about her in past tense? I ran my hands through my hair and wondered deeply about how I got into this mess in the first place. Was there anything I could've done to prevent it? And if there was, why didn't I do anything? Deep down, I knew that I could've done things differently and I knew the reason why I didn't - Kayla. As much as I love Kayla and wanted nothing more than to protect her, I've never been able to love her without pushing others away. If I could, I would've been able to save them a lot of trouble. The minute I heard all those screaming, I s
Kayla's POVThis woman was strong. The way she carried me on her shoulder up several stairs without even taking a breath surprised me. But still, I didn't know if I should trust her or if I should stay clear from her. What was clear is that there is no escape from this place, so maybe the latter part of my thoughts about her wasn't even an option, I most definitely can't stay clear from her. As she carried me up the stairs, my eyes followed the white walls and soon I closed my eyes. I wasn't sleeping but it felt that way. I could feel her drop me carefully on a bed, covering me with warm sheets since the place was cold, and then talking to someone over the phone asking them to bring meals for me. She tapped me gently and I reluctantly opened my eyes and looked at her. Her blue hair matched her blue eyes, the only thing is that her eyes didn't look like the kind of blue eyes that you'd admire and wish to be lost in. No, it looked awfully cold and a bit scary. " Those men were trying
FreyaI woke up feeling very hungry and angry. I wanted nothing more than to just eat right now, so I got up and went straight out of my room to go find my mom. I soon found her in the kitchen with our maids, instructing them on what to do." I'm hungry," I said, glaring at her and the other women who were staring at me as if they'd seen a ghost.My mom clasped her hand over her mouth and started to get teary-eyed as she looked at me. " Freya," she said as she hugged me and kissed my forehead.The moment she called me Freya, I felt like I had lost something. Something huge, something that I may never get back but regardless I was too annoyed because I was hungry, so I brushed the thought away and patted my mom's back." Okay, okay. I don't know why you're hugging me instead of giving me food but the hug is appreciated. I'd like to have some food though." I said and she released me from her grip and nodded her head." Where Jean and Cole?" I asked as the women set the food on the table
Hector's POV The silence that followed my confession was maddening. All of them were looking at me as if I was a foreign entity or something. Nova was holding my hand and she was even shaking. I couldn't blame her, this has been her worst fear, the day she tells the Rogues that she was never a wolf but a sorceress and so am I, only, I am both. " Wait, I'm very confused right now. Nova, when you said that the mist that separates us from other packs was cast by a sorcerer who gave you a little magic gift to tell if someone would be an enemy or a friend, all that was a lie? You were in fact the sorceress? And those items in your vault that you said belong to that sorcerer - who you claimed taught you how to use some of the tools... All those items are yours? " " That's a lot of questions Drew" " But Nova we thought being able to tell if a visitor would be an enemy or an ally was something any of us could do as far as we held that crystal ball thing and placed it near the person's head

Aidan's POVIt's been three days since Kayla's abduction. Even though I just got here, I could tell that things were awful because of what happened. Most of the Rogues are blaming Hector because he brought Kayla to their territory. The real Bloom pack wolves arrive a week ago and they were extremely shocked by the stories they heard. Nova has not come outside in weeks and the same with Hector. I heard they are inside Nova's room trying different spells to find Kayla. But as much as I want them to find Kayla, that may not happen if these Rogues succeed in killing Hector. Currently, they were arguing amongst themselves at the tavern on whether or not he should be killed or pardoned and as always, I watched them from somewhere hidden. " If you keep hiding behind that pillar every time, they'll catch you one day." I heard someone say and found Aubrey crouching behind barrels of alcohol in the warehouse. No one ever goes there that much because unlike what I expected, Rogues aren't heav
