Hey my lovely readers, I made a huge mistake when I went from chapters 25 to 26, I left out a chapter. I have added it to the end of 25 since it had been a short chapter. If you can please go back and check it out, I will try to be more careful! Please enjoy.
~Tyson’s Point of View~ This was about my worst nightmare come true. Stuck on a damn deserted island with three Shadow Warriors, who were all Ellie’s true mates. I didn’t think there was any way in hell I would get out of this alive, and that was likely what my dad and Emily planned on. They betrayed me, in the worst possible way. I was still in shock, but I had no time for that. I had three sets of very sharp teeth ready to take out my throat. All I could do was admit the game was up and do what I could to gain their favor. Once they shifted back and calmed down, I sat down. The cut on my side stung, but it was already starting to heal. “Start at the beginning, why did Gunner take Ellie when she was little,” River said. I think it was River, fuck if I knew, they all looked the same. I sighed, not in the mood for story hour but I was in no position to argue with them. “All right so, I don’t remember too much early on ... Ellie is like a year older than me. Well, you might as wel
~Skyler’s Point of View~ I never let my emotions get the better of me, for all my faults and impulsive nature, I thought I was pretty good at keeping it together when shit got real. But this was a whole different level … my sweet Ellie was being held by an insane piece of shit Alpha. The pack life never would have been for me or my brothers, we were soldiers … warriors, but not at the whim of some asshole Alpha with an ego that only served his own interests. I was absolutely terrified that Gunner would try to mate Ellie, it was consuming me. My sweet, little mate, she needed us more than ever. She was literally half a mile from me or so, and I couldn’t get to her. My wolf was beyond furious with me, he blamed me of course for letting this happen. All that side, we were ready to bust some skulls and take some throats. Godfrey called in all his reinforcements and then some, having to bribe the fuck out of many vamps and witches. Supposedly Emily, or whatever the hell her name wa
~River’s Point of View~ When we put out word to the supernatural world that we were taking out Blood Claw, I couldn’t believe who all showed up. Turns out, Gunner had a LOT of enemies. There were even demons here that gave me the creeps and I normally didn’t mind them. The orders were strict, but clear. The Claw had the option to surrender, but at any sign of resistance or aggression, we could kill at will. We were not to kill she-wolves or pups unless they left us no choice. We thought some of them might try to fight. My dad was the main mastermind of the plan, and it was a conquer and devour situation. We had witches, fae and vamps going right down and into the heart of the pack and shifters and demons coming in from the sides. There would be a few fae and vamps mixed in with them just in case. The entirety of Blood Claw knew we were out here, they knew we were ready to strike at any moment. Any element of surprise was gone so we had to be stronger, we had to be smarter. Quinn,
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ As I left the side of the giant ice wall from the shifter’s side, I noticed a mass grave on the other side, and it smelled horrific. Like old death, rotting death. Vampires knew that smell all too well, but it was still enough to make even me gag. I landed back at headquarters and began yelling for updates. “Four injured shifters, no casualties, some crazy shit is going on though, changing by the minute,” Ash said. “Crazy like what,” I said, as it started to snow. The temperature dropped about thirty degrees in just minutes. This wouldn’t really bother the shifters or vampires but demons and witches didn’t like the cold at all. “What are we doing about this bull shit,” I yelled. “I’m wondering if Kai is even here,” Dina said, as if she had all the time in the world to think about things. “Where the hell else would he be,” I asked, getting impatient. I breathed for a moment and took stock. I realized I could no longer smell or sense Ellie close by.
~Ellie's Point of View~ I had no clue how long I’d been out, but I woke up feeling like I’d gotten hit by a truck. Everything hurt and my neck was killing me, I guessed since my head was turned when I hit the wall. I stretched out and realized I was still outside, in the grass. I looked all around and there was nothing, just an open field and woods. Where was the wall?? I slowly got to my feet and reached out my hands, and sure enough there was a wall there that I couldn’t see. What the heck? “Going somewhere little girl,” I heard a voice say. I didn’t recognize it, and I was terrified to turn around. Heck, it’s pointless. I turned to face the man, and I didn't recognize him. But he was giving off the same vibe I got from Max back at the packhouse. “Are you … a fairy,” I asked. “Why yes I am, maybe you’re not as dumb as they say. Although there is such a fuss about you, surely there has to be more to it than a pretty face,” he said. I was initially furious, until I remembered I
~River’s Point of View~ Thankfully, the warlock had been able to get rid of the corpses, it all was just an illusion. A smelly one though, and I still felt my nose burning. It had been hours that we had been wandering the Blood Claw grounds, and there was nothing. Either everyone was underground or they had all left. I couldn’t understand why they would have left the gates guarded just to desert the pack. It made no sense. They had to all be here. We were all just kind of lazing around, waiting for something. It was easily another hour before we got our wish. Maybe they thought we’d let our guards down, who knows. Out of nowhere, a mist began to form around the area, easily three dozen cloud like mists. *Be ready for anything, everyone on guard,* Shane yelled over mind-link. When the mists cleared, we were surrounded by easily a dozen pure white wolves and the rest were brown with white boots, and they were growling fiercely. *I thought Blood Claw warriors were all black, brown
~Hunter’s Point of View~ We’d been watching Angel for a few minutes, unsure of what she was even doing when I smelled more wolves. The very second I smelled them, we were under full attack. Angel immediately levitated herself high above us, being in no position to fight against wolves. For what seemed like an eternity, I was fighting off teeth and claws non-stop with everything I had. Our vampires appeared to help but there were just so damn many of them. This had to have not only been all of Gunner’s warriors, but other packs he’d taken over as well. They were just literally … hundreds. We’d kill a dozen and a dozen more would come out of the tree line. I glimpsed a sea of bodies, fur, and blood. My wolf was already tired and I estimated that I’d killed at least twenty wolves myself. I’d also taken a nasty bite to my back leg and I could tell River was favoring his front leg but it had been awhile since I was clear enough to look for him. “YES,” I heard a woman yell. I recogniz
~Ellie’s Point of View~ The day had passed and neither Gunner or Kai came back. I felt like trying to run off again but I was sure Kai left some type of spell over the area so I couldn’t get away. I was passing the time singing some of my favorite Ipod songs. The sun would be setting soon, and Gunner should have come back for dinner by now ... not that I was missing him but I was desperate to know what was going on. I hoped him being gone meant the Shadows were getting somewhere. But then it dawned on me … if Kai is killed before I’m found, how would they ever know where I was? My mind raced with all the different scenarios, and none of them seemed to end well for me. I was taken from my thoughts when I heard a woman humming. I loved it, it was so comforting and somehow familiar. I didn’t even realize the maid was still here. I followed the sound and saw her in the garden, cutting flowers. She quickly stuck her nose in the air, and began running toward me. Had she been out here all
