All three of us sit in a circle, pulling at our silver chains that burn like a motherfucker, but nothing. “I swear to the Goddess if you touch her.” Gunner growls as Asher walks passed us to get to a table, with instruments and needles and a whole array of things placed on it.Asher chuckles, “I won’t need to do anything to her. She’ll come on her own free will now that we have you.” He tells us and I shake my head.“Your plan is flawed, Asher.” I growl and he looks at me interested. “Why’s that?” He asks, and I smirk. “She’s not going to just come for us. She’s going to burn your pack to the ground.” I tell him and he smirks. “This isn’t my pack. And once she gets here, she’ll have no choice but to stay.” He says.I shake my head again.He smiles, standing behind Issac as he continues to fight his restraints, then stabs him in the neck with something. Issac hisses as Gunner and me both growl working the chains more. I glare at him.He walks back to the table for another needle. “What
“We got one.” William says, and I nod. “We’ll see what they know, but they’re not important. They sent them in like pigs to the slaughter. They were using them to distract us. Keep us away from what was going on outside the border.” I tell him, and nods, looking back down at the map in the center of the table.I’ve been trying to keep myself distracted. Trying to keep my mind busy on anything war. I’m scared the second I stop I won’t ever be able to get up again. I stare out the window thinking about their gentle touches, their playful smiles, their love for me. They’re not dead… Just gone. I can still find them.“Grace?” My head snaps back into gear, and I look over at the table. “What?” I ask and Evan looks at me with pity as he repeats himself, “Jordan said you knew some of the killed?”I nod, and a light bulb goes on.“I need to talk to the prisoner.” I tell them. William shakes his head, “That’s not a good idea. I don’t want you near him.” He tells me and I glare at him. “Do you
My mind goes blank as I stare at him. “What happened?” I growl and he swallows. They surrounded us, we were fighting, but then they shot all of them with some sort of bullets. Dean forced me to leave, to get to you. We didn’t know if you were surrounding here too.” He explains, and my glare on him hardens.“You left them?” I growl and he shakes his head, “Grace, there was nothing more I could do. The best chance was to get here to tell you what I knew.” He says, and my teeth clench. “And they just let you leave. Surrounded by opponents and they just let you walk out?” I growl and his eyes widen. “They didn’t want me.” He responds just as Sarah rushes through the door and plows into him.They both embrace and I almost feel sorry for what I’m assuming, but it leaves quickly when I think about how my mates are still gone.Sarah looks over at me, “He’s right, Grace. They didn’t want anyone but you, and I’m assuming their orders were the same for them. The triplets.” She says, and I snarl
“This is stupid. We’re literally using our mate as bait at this point.” Gunner growls from the back seat, we’ve already filled Justin in on what’s going on, so he’s not completely surprised that we’re all not in the best of moods. “We’re not using her as bait. She wants to do this. Finding Cora and ending this is something she needs to do, and you know it. Unless you had any ideas on how to find her with no leads.” Issac says back at him.Both of them have been nonstop arguing about the best way to handle all of this and I’ve just been listening to all of it. I don’t like this plan at all, but it should get us some answers, as long as it’s a trap and we’re all not just freaking out for no reason.“I just wish you guys would have told me about it before I left my mate there unprepared.” Justin sneers, and I roll my eyes. “My dad knows what’s going on. He’s not going to let anything happen to her.” I tell him.He grunts annoyed, and groans. “We can’t even mind-link them.” Justin says, a
My leg bounces up and down while I stand on the training field outside, waiting for Sarah to finish her fight with Jordan. I glance around us, looking into the woods, the house, hell the sky, but its dark outside, things aren’t as easily seen.‘Movement reported by the woods around the training field.’ William mind-links me. I take a deep breath and disappear.Jordan instantly stops fighting Sarah, and now I know why he hadn’t taken her down yet. He was only half paying attention; the other half was watching me. Lux and Rick stand straighter, both getting closer to where they think I am, but I’ve moved. “I’m sorry for not telling you Jordan, but you need to get ready to fight.” I whisper into his ear, and that’s all he needs to take up a fighting stance and glancing around us.“What’s going on, Grace?” He whispers, his eyes focused on the woods. “We need one alive.” I tell him instead of answering him. He sighs, “This is what you’ve been hiding?” He whispers, I don’t answer, moving po
Friday came so much faster than I ever could have expected, but of course it did, because we haven’t figured out any other way to go about our plan. Time wasn’t on our side this week. Lily, Cam and Alec all had to head home earlier in the week, but everyone else is still here. Including King Evan. He’s still not sure how to handle his current situation, and I think he’s using all of my drama to distract him from his own. It has required him to be in the same room as Bert a few times, but for the most part he’s handling that rather well.Lux runs up next to me as I watch the triplets start to pack the suv and I look over at him. “Why aren’t you going to this?” I ask him and he smirks. “I’m future King, my training is much more complex then theirs. And I’ve been keeping up on my training even while you were gone.” He explains and I nod, staring into Dean’s eyes when he glances over at me.“Something’s going on. I can tell. Are you going to loop me in?” He asks, and I take a deep breath.
