The fight erupted like a storm, the Red Hand members lunging at Liam with a ferocity that took Tess's breath away. Liam shifted into a wolf, his clothes tearing as he moved, and the battle became a blur of fur and fliers. Tess stumbled back, her heart racing with fear as the pack surrounded her, protecting her.

Ethan's guitar screamed a wild melody, the notes cutting through the night like shards of glass, disorienting the attackers. Ryder fought with brutal efficiency, taking down enemy after enemy. Fred...

A scream tore through the night, and Tess's heart froze. Fred was down, a Red Hand member standing over him, a blade glining in the moonlight.

"No!" Liam roared, his wolf form leaping towards the attacker.

"They just called. They've got Fred, and they want to trade him for you."Tess felt a surge of fear, her mind racing with images of Fred being hurt, of him being in danger because of her."No," she said, her voice firm.

    Tess's eyes locked onto her mother's, her mind reeling with questions. What was she doing here? How was she alive?The woman smiled, her eyes cr crling at the corners, a gesture that sent a pang of nostalgia through Tess's chest. She looked like her. Same hair, same eyes, same smile.But something was off. A hardness, a coldness that Tess didn't remember."Tess," her mother said again, her voice low and husky. "It's been a long time."Tess felt a surge of emotion, a mix of anger, confusion, and longing. She wanted to run to her mother, to hug her, to ask her why she'd left.But something held her back.

    Tess slowly came to, her head pounding like a drum. She was lying on a cold, damp surface, and the air was thick with the smell of salt and seaweed. She opened her eyes, blinking away the haze.She was in a cave, the walls rough and rocky. Liam was sitting next to her, his eyes fixed on hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat."Hey," he said softly, his voice low and husky. "You okay?"Tess nodded, trying to sit up. Liam helped her, his hands warm on her skin. She felt a jolt of electricity at his touch, but pushed it aside."What happened?" she asked, her voice hoarse."We were ambushed," Liam said, his eyes scanning the cave. "The Red Hand. They must have set up a trap."Tess's heart sank. "Fred? Ryder? Ethan?"Liam's face was grim. "They're safe. We got them to a safe house. But we need to get you safe, too."Tess nodded, trying to process everything. She was getting tired of running, tired of being afraid."What do they want from me?" she asked, her voice barely abo

    Tess stood outside the windmill, the rusty blades creaking in the wind like a warning. Liam waited inside, his eyes burning with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and slipped inside.The dim light swallowed her, and for a moment, she was lost in the darkness. Then Liam's voice whispered her name, sending shivers down her spine. "Tess."She moved towards the sound, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. Liam stood by the wall, his chest bare, his jeans slugging low on his hips. The shadows danced on his skin, making him look like a god."What do you want, Liam?" she asked, trying to sound calm.He didn't answer. Instead, he pushed off the wall and stalked towards her. Tess's heart pounded in her chest as he backed her into a corner, his eyes burning with desire."You're in danger, Tess," he growled, his voice low and husky. "The pack...they're not what they seem."Tess's mind reeled. What did he mean? She tried to process, but Lia
