ELLEN
These babies were going to kill me, between the complete exhaustion and not being able to keep anything down. I could hardly conjure up some orange juice. I was sneaking my way down the stairs to get anything to settle my stomach. When I heard a voice in one of the offices. I had a bad feeling, but I snuck closer to the door. It was Alpha Ben Bennet. He was arguing with someone on the phone. I checked my watch. It was past midnight. Nothing good ever happens past midnight. I tried to get closer to the door to hear better, but the floorboards creaked, and he stopped talking. I quickly tiptoed down to the kitchen. I snuck into the fridge. I remember Axel made a double chocolate cake for Lanie.
"You okay?"
"AHHHHH" I screamed!
"OMG Axel, what are you doing up?"
"Couldn't sleep."
"Twins keeping you up?"
"No, this thing with Killian, Damon and Lucy keeps replaying in my head over and over again," h

LUCYWe were rushing back to the packhouse. I was nervous but oddly calm. I finally felt like I could handle anything as long as Damon was with me. Diving into the territory, trackers were everywhere—half in human form, half in wolf form. My nerves started to ramp up, and Damon grabbed my hand and squeezed. I was half-heartedly smiling before we pulled up to the packhouse when one of the guards from Death Moon were out front. There were guards everywhere, from both Death Moon and Mountain moon. I opened my door, took and deep breath and prepared myself for what was about to be thrust upon me. Like he could feel my anxiety Damon joined me side the truck rubbing a hand up my back."Lucy, I am here. Whatever is happening, we will handle it." A large guard dressed in Kevlar and carrying a machine gun walked up to me."Luun, I mean Miss Bennet. Please go to the pack hospital. Your sister." I ran as fast as my legs could carry me the two blocks to th

LUCYThe drive to the airstrip was only a few hours, but the whole drive, I couldn't stop thinking if I had a little sister. The vision I had was of Lanie and myself sitting at a table colouring and Laura at the stove, pregnant, cooking something. Maybe I don't have a sister out there. Maybe she died, or maybe the Academy took her. I leaned my head against the window while Damon held my hand, rubbing circles on my thumb. How had I only met him a few short weeks ago? I feel like I've known him my whole life. I guess that's why they are called soul mates. The other half of your soul.Victoria took her motorcycle to preserve her magic for the fight. I wish she were here so I could ask her about finding my sister or brother. Did Bennet wolves even have boys? I was pulled from my thoughts as we pulled into the airstrip. We were taking Damon's pack jet to colorado to set up a base of operations. Killian was in the SUV behind us. I don't know how I feel seeing him again

KILLIANI watched as Lucy and Damon laughed together, making Diesel angry at me for losing her. I knew I shouldn't have done it. I could have made her love me without the magic. FUCK how did everything get so messed up? I would prove to her that I was worth it. At least her friendship. Diesel retreated to the back of my mind, freezing me out for losing our mate. He was still pissed at me for cheating, and now she is falling for Damon. Her real mate. What I don't get is Bonnie told me once we marked each other, our bonds to our fated mates would sever. How did she know Damon was her destined mate? How did she feel that?I was stewing about everything while we unloaded our gear and headed to the warehouse. Diesel started to pace in my mind. He still wasn't speaking to me, missing Astrid but something had him on edge. I dropped my bags on one of the bunks. Lying back with my hands behind my head, I closed my eyes and remembered the time Lucy and I went dancing. It w

VICTORIA I knew I should have told Damon and Lucy sooner about Oliver. He just didn't want to add to their pain. Knowing the academy sold him to an assassin's guilt as an infant. Trained to murder and kill for their own selfish gain. Pawns and assets, headshots and blood spatter. We were all damaged and carried our own baggage. I remember my first forced kill. It was what ultimately shattered me—fracturing my relationship with Zarina, my wolf, damning me to a life-alone laser focus on protecting my family. Zarina tried to tell me we didn't have to kill, that we could survive without doing as they were told. I was just a child, eight years old. Everyone thought it was Zarina who was unhinged, but it was me. I used my magic to hurt people. I was no better than dark witches. We only had a few hours before the Delta team headed out. I needed to shake off these feelings. I was normally much better at controlling my emotions. Nothing ever distracted me, but the

LUCYI opened my eyes to Killian carrying me."What are you doing?""You collapsed in the hub. I am taking you to lay down.""Killian, I am quite capable of walking.""I know you are, little wolf, but I am going to put you in bed, and you can rest." I had to admit. It was nice being carried. I was so tired. Both physically and emotionally. Killian never treated me like a fragile child. Killian placed me on the bed and went to leave."Thank you, Killian," I was genuinely grateful for his intervention. How embarrassing that was. I am supposed to be this big bad bennet wolf."I will always have your back, even if I messed up being your mate." He looked sad, like he really did regret what he did."I really did love you, even without the mate bond. I never felt the bond the way I feel it with Damon. But Killian, you didn't need the Mate Bond to make me fall in love with you. You are worthy o

VICTORIAOnce we narrowed down the exact location, I mobilized the teams. I had to admit the drama with Oliver and Lucy was distracting, but I am happy to have him on the mission. We had been on a lot of assignments together. Aside from Matice and Amon, there wasn't anyone I trusted more.I linked Ellen and my magic before I left to draw on her power if I needed it. I needed her home safe taking care of those precious babies. How strange it was Axel and Ellen both having twins in the same year. I felt a pang of jealousy, knowing I would never have that. I broke my chance at having a mate, having a real connection, when I chose the guild over my soul. My soul mate did not deserve my heart's broken mess even if I did let them in. I would never do that to them, and I would never bring a child into this evil world. War and hate, evil had seeped its way into every aspect of today's world. I heard Oliver and the other archers pull out of the compound. I sat on my bik

LUCYI woke up feeling like I had the flu. It was a weird feeling, like I was here but not here. I could hear voices in the background, but I couldn't make out like I was in a dream."Astrid? you there?""Lucy, I am here, but I am trapped with magic. You are going to have to get us out of here. All the training you have had with Axel and Kade. Now is when you need to use it. Be strong. There is not a single thing you can not handle. I will be here with you. I just can't help you. Damon is close. You just have to hang on a little longer. I am going to lay down. I feel sick.""Okay, Astrid, you rest. It is my turn to take care of you." I left her energy drain as her presence was gone. I had never felt so alone. Even when she shoved me out, I still knew she was there. I started to feel stronger. Whatever they gave me was wearing off. I could hear them more clearly."Matilda said to keep her alive and unharmed. We can't risk her wolf

LUCY I came to, and my legs and arms were chained in metal this time. I was still naked from shifting, and there were more hunters—two with guns on either side of the door. The guy I headbutted and kicked in the head was sitting in one of the chairs at the table. He had a glass of some amber liquid and an ice pack on his face. The other guard sat in the chair across from him twirling a silver blade between his fingers. He looked deranged. I slowly moved my head upright, trying not to draw attention to the fact I was awake. As soon as I did, I felt hot breath on my neck from behind. "Ah, she wakes." The voice comes out like a snake. It gives me chills. Everyone is now looking at me. Great, what am I supposed to do now? I felt a blade run down my arm, not cutting me but burning as it was dragged down my arm. I bit down so I wouldn't scream. Just think of Damon, fishing or dancing. Remember all you have to live for. The twins, Axel Lanie, if she wakes. The family I always w
