Marcus POV   I stood frozen in place as I watched her eyes grow sad the moment she saw Samantha step out from the forest. At first, I was confused as to why she seemed so sad, but then it clicked—she thought something happened between Samantha and I since we both were coming out of the forest, me half naked and Samantha finishing getting dressed.  Before I had any chance to explain, Olivia ran away. Shit… I reacted on instinct and started to run after her, but just before I reached her, I was stopped by a heavy body knocking me to the ground.  Damon.  I looked over at Olivia just as she entered the woods and disappear

Olivia POV   “Who did this to you?” I was startled as I hadn’t felt his presence approaching me until he spoke.  Marcus was inspecting every scratch on my body. “Who did this to you?” he repeated with a growl.  My mouth went dry and I was speechless. I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander over his body and notice his T-shirt clinging tightly to his body. “Olivia… Who did this to you?” he asked again, taking a step closer to me.  “I-it’s nothing, just a few scratches,” I tried to say, but he put his hand under my chin and ran his thumb near the scratch on my cheek. “This is a little too deep for just nothing, so tell me who did this to you.” His face was close

Damon POV   After a hard practice, I took a shower and went back to my cabin.  I was drying my wet hair with a towel in only my shorts when the door of my cabin opened and inside came Heather, a girl from my pack. I paused in the middle of drying my hair. “Heather? What are you doing here?”  “I missed you,” she said, closing the door behind her as she walked seductively towards me. I arched my eyebrow, and before I knew it, she was in front of me, caressing my bare chest and leaning her body into mine. Then she stood on her tiptoes and went for a kiss. I shook my head and grabbed a hold of her wrists to stop her, and calmly pushed her body away from mine.

Olivia POV   “Attack! Attack! Rogues!”   Teachers and trainers wasted no time and started telling everyone what to do. The male shifters were to go with trainers and fight if needed, while we females were to follow after our head teacher and go hide in the hidden bunker that had a safe room made for us. I looked at the cabin in front of the one I was staying in, and I saw Marcus standing near the door, listening to instructions that were given to them. He looked up at me, and I knew he could see the worry in my eyes—I couldn’t hide it. Yes, I knew how to fight, but I was still worried about him and my brother and my friends. I walked across the little path that divided our cabins and towards him while he moved from his cabin and walked towards me. The moment I was close to him, my heart started racing and Aurora go

Olivia POV   I stood aside, eyes wide, watching in pure fear as two wolves were fought against Marcus. It was a brutal sight to watch, but I was too afraid to close my eyes. The sounds coming from them tore at my heart. I was worried they would hurt him, but he was fast and strong and magnificent. I checked on Mandy and Lizzy and saw that Mandy was wrapped in a tight hold, securely hiding her face in the chest of none other than my brother James. He was kissing the top of her head and trying to soothe her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and I saw her tear-stained face looking up towards him. James wiped away her tears, and when I realized they were about to kiss, I looked away. I searched for Lizzy next, and I saw her lying on the grass under a tree. Her eyes were closed, and a huge wolf was licking her and pushing her arm lightly with his nuzzle. His whimpers wer
