Atticus' POV A gush of wind blew and with it, an invisible wall fell right in front of our eyes revealing a large castle-like house. I turned around to look at my men and see that they all held similar expressions, with their mouths hung open in awe. "You stay here?" I questioned Tony. "Yes, my coven and I stay here." She responded without moving her gaze from the home. "Follow me and be quick. Not all witches like weres." She continued. With that, we all continued following at a quicker pace. Leading us into the house we paced a large group of women standing in what looks to be the living room. "Who are they?" Someone whispered. "They smell l

  Zaraphine's POV It's been a few days since anyone has come down to the cells. It's been pretty peaceful, I can catch up on sleep. Anytime I get visitors they hit and kick me to keep me awake. I can no longer feel the presence of my wolf. Ever since Lakota told me I would be mated to him, I felt her slowly fading away. I just hope she is at peace. The day I met my wolf I have done nothing but cause her grief and heartache, so it makes me kind of happy knowing she is no longer with me. I never wanted to put her through so much.  

Zaraphine's POVIt has been a few days since I have officially left Dark Moon. I have been constantly on the move, never stopping for more than an hour at a time.

I wiggled my fingers and toes making sure I was still in one piece when I hurled the hushed whispers. I tried to block it out the best I could but it was no use. As it started getting louder my anger started to rise, causing me to bark my order, "SHUT UP AND LEAVE MY ROOM NOW!" The voices stopped for a few minutes before there was shuffling and the click of a door being closed.

Atticus' POVContinuing down the dimly lit stairway I pick up the scent of blood. 'Do you smell that?' Leo questions through the mind link. 'Yes. Stay alert.' I tell him. He gives me a slight nod and we continue in silence. Never taking my eyes off of Lakota, I watch as he tenses as he hits the last step. "What's wrong Lakota?" I question him. "Something's not right. I don't know what it is though." He says. "Who do you have down here Lakota? Is it only Esther?" I ask him accus
