ShannonI did not sleep a wink that night, Austin kept to his side of the bed when we first sleep, he did not try anything funny, he just turned to the other side and gave me his back then slept. But I could not sleep, being with him in bed was too much for me and I have never shared a bed with anyone, he knows that.In the middle of the night, he pulled me close to him, his face was right on my neck with his breath fanning my face. I tried to wiggle myself out of his grip, but he held me tighter, we stayed like that till morning then when he woke up, he acted like nothing happen and left me in bed going to shower.The days we spent there were fine, and Lucas did not try anything after our talk that evening and we went back home. Today is my birthday and I woke up early. For some reason I was feeling light as if a load has been lifted off my shoulders, maybe it is the fact that Austin had been acting strange and asking me to look at him

Austin Austin did not wait for his friend to say something, he simply left him there and went into the packhouse calling Shannon’s name as he went up the stairs taking two at a time. When he got to her room it was empty, he looked around then sat on the bed. ‘I warned you time and time again to stop mistreating her.’ His wolf Blake was angry.He had been warning him to stop mistreating Shannon because he liked her, but he would not listen and now she was gone. ‘I will find her Black, I promise.’ He said to him then lifted his head when his beta Eliot came in. “I see that she is not here, I will go and call the council, maybe they will have some information that could help us.”He told him then turned and left. He too warned Austin from the beginning to not take out his anger on her, but he did not listen and he was alpha. He could do anything and no one would say anything. ‘Alpha, there i

AustinIt’s been a week since she disappeared and I have found no leads to her whereabouts yet. I have looked everywhere and I could not find her. Now the only person I can think of that might know where she went is Lucas, he has to know where she is, they have been close and he did not like how I was treating her.He is the only one that might have helped her escape. “I still don’t think it is a good idea to go to the crescent moon pack guns blazing, you might start a war that we don’t need.’’ My beta tries to reason but he doesn’t understand what I am going through right now. The man might know where my mate is and I don’t care about the war.The only thing I care about right now is finding my mate and Lucas might know where she is. “I know care about war, if they want war then it’s war they will get. Right now, I need to find my mate and Lucas might know where she is.”

Back in Africa in the vineyards of Stellenbosch. It was harvest season and most of the pack members were in the fields working with some human workers that were hired by the pack. Shannon wanted to help out so she was also in the field with everyone harvesting grapes.She started feeling hot all of a sudden and she stopped working then adjusted her sunhat. She drank some water then resumed working. But then the heatwave came stronger followed by pain in her chest. She stopped and tried to breath through the pain but it intensified making her feel weak.She tried to breath through the pain again but it got worse and she fell on her knees. She placed a hand on her chest feeling the excruciating pain but soon her vision blurred and she fell on the side. One of the pack members ran to her side and saw that she has fainted. She mind linked the alpha and reported the situation then carried her back to the packhouse.As soon the pack member got to the packhouse with he

Sandy was standing at the door watching her brother break down. she heard from Eliot that he was awake, and she wanted to see him. But when she got there, she heard his cries, they were not loud but with her werewolf wearing she could hear them. She stood at the door looking through the glass and saw her brother breaking down.Her heart broke for him as she has never seen him like that. Her brother was strong, he was an alpha but right now, the way he was, he looked nothing like those things and instead. He looked broken. She stood there for a while looking at him wishing that she could go in and comfort her, but she knew better. Her brother was proud and would not have wanted that.She was crying while standing there, the sight before her was heart-breaking and she found herself regretting everything she did to her sister Shannon. She wished that she could go back in time and undo everything that she did to her. she wished that she had stopped her brother when he made
