[HI GUYS, I just wanted to put a little trigger warning in here before the chapter begins, there will be some seriously disturbing things happen and I just wanted to put the warning here in case you guys are triggered by s*xual a**ult and or discussion of r*pe, please feel free to skip this chapter or I have placed an ‘*’ symbol before the triggering parts start so you can skip and still get some story context]Vanessa had found a spot far enough away we wouldn’t be seen or heard but we could see everything clearly. Lani had ran a lap around the area to see if there was any other way inside the warehouse but there wasn’t. I had confirmed most of the men around the bonfire were human, Byron joined them after exiting the warehouse with a sharply dressed man who smelled odd. His main scent was human but it didn’t smell real. Like it was a fake human scent. His real scent mixing in with the human mask. It was giving Koray a headache trying to separat

Cassidy POVI could see Jordan was mind-linking with someone. He walked behind me pulling at my ropes before jumping back, the wolfsbane burning his fingers. Good. I thought to myself. It was the least he deserved. I hear a blade slice through the ropes behind me and my legs drop down. They were sore from being spread out and tied behind me for so long. I was grateful to be able to close my legs. I felt the knife cut through the ropes holding my head and for the first time in however long I’ve been trapped here I could move it. He frees my arms last and I collapse on the floor. The weight of my body too heavy for my weakened state.I feel his arms helping me up and I growl at his touch. I let Nina take control as she had more strength than I did. She shifted and it was painful. It felt like the first time again. This time the anger inside was fuelling her. I watch as Jordan also shifts and backs away. Nina growls at him before she stops

Cassidy POVI packed my clothes into the empty dresser before showering. The feeling of hot water running across my body felt amazing. The scent of pomegranate blending in with the harsh stench of wolfsbane and fuel that hung in the air. I stared at my body as I lathered the soap, noticing indents in my skin where I hadn’t finished healing. My own body felt foreign. Having only washed my arms, I sit on the floor of the shower. Not yet willing to bring the washcloth between my legs. It still hurt. I needed to be clean of him but I couldn’t bring myself to touch where he had been. He had been all over me and my body belonged to him. I put my face between my legs and began to cry.“It’s still our body,” Nina said.“It’s not mine,” I snapped back at her and I felt her retreat.I didn’t need to be lectured right now. She felt the pain just as much as I did yet she seemed to think it wasn&rs

“So is this it? A piece of my potential is in this little crystal?” I ask staring at it, watching the light shine through creating thousands of tiny rainbows.“Yes so be careful with it. You don’t want to accidentally break it.” Apollo states.“What happens if I break it?”“You loose that potential,” Leto says.“But how do I get my potential back if I can’t break it?”“You need this box and all five of you.” Artemis says, handing me a wooden box.“What’s this for and five of us?”“Yes there are five of you. One for fire, one for water, one for earth, one for wind and one for spirits,” Apollo says casually. “As for the box, you each have one. You need to stack all five boxes and complete the movements in sync to be able to unlock you potentials from the crystals.”“That sounds super complicated&hell

After Lani and Vanessa left I headed back upstairs. Walking into my room something felt off.“Reign was in here,” Nina says sniffing the room.She takes control and I watch as she follows the scent to the bed. She slides her hand under the pillow and pulls out a letter.“Lock the door,” I tell her and she runs over closing the door and locking it before jumping back on the bed.“What does it say?” I ask.She opens the letter and I push against the veil wanting to read what it says.‘Dearest Cassidy,I’m sorry Quintin and I had to leave so suddenly. I felt that it was no longer safe for us to be here. We have gone to find the forth Elemental. With the hunters close by we can’t risk being vulnerable. Please take care of my brother.See you soon,R’“She left to find the forth?” Nina questions.“What does she know about the hunters t
