Kyra-“What do you mean my father asked you to become the Alpha King?” I asked Caleb for the second time, hoping for an answer this time.Caleb had been gone for nearly two days, without me knowing where he had been. I had been going crazy with thinking he left again. Not once did he answer any of the texts or calls, I had made.When he had returned, I wasn’t sure if I had been relieved or just pissed that he took off. When he explained to me that my father had taken him somewhere, my anger had been directed at my father. That had been short-lived though when Caleb mentioned becoming Alpha King.“Your father wants to step down as Alpha King. He said he was tired of it and wanted to spend time with your mother. Not only that but he said he had to take care of some things.” Caleb said with a sigh.His shoulders sagged as if the weight of the world had been placed on them. I was torn between comforting him and getting mor

Caleb-“We can do this all night, I have plenty of time.” I told the hunter after breaking the last finger on his left hand.I never liked to use torture as a way to get what I wanted out of someone, but I wasn’t above it either. Especially after learning the guard that had been exposed to wolfsbane didn’t survive. Once I had Nick come to remove the body, I locked the doors to prevent anyone from coming down the stairs.There was only one I didn’t want to see me doing this though, that was Kyra. She was too good for this. I really didn’t want to expose her to this kind of darkness. Plus, I could still smell wolfsbane down here.I don’t know why it wasn’t affecting me. After searching for it, I still couldn’t locate the source either. However, I did do a thorough check on the hunter to make sure he wasn’t carrying anything else.“Go fuck yourself!” The hunter yelled out in pain.

Caleb-I was sitting on a hospital bed when Kyra found me. When she told me what she found out, I was a bit surprised. Not only was she able to get the information out of him so easily, but like her, I haven’t heard of a wolf being removed from a host.Just goes to show that I have been underestimating her. I have always known she was special, yet allowed myself to forget. From the start, I shouldn’t have tried keeping her out of it, in hopes of protecting her.“Is it possible to regain a wolf if neither of us thought it possible in the first place to have one removed?” I asked.Swinging my legs off the bed, I moved to stand up. I was feeling much better than I had a few hours ago. The wolfsbane was cleared out of my system completely, which was the reason I was acting so foolish before.“Stay.” Kyra said, moving towards the bed and placing her hand on my shoulder as she sat next to me on the bed. “I don&rs

Kyra-This was turning out to be a bigger pain than I thought it would be. For the past four hours, we have been trying to get Cory to talk. He hasn’t said anything, I do mean not one single word.So much for me having any sway over werewolves. He seemed unaffected by me at all, well other than he kept giving me a look of annoyance. Since Nick hadn’t been convinced that Cory was a spy for the hunters, we had to resort to placing wolfsbane in the air ducts to the room.Being that I was the only one unaffected by the wolfsbane, I had to go in myself to look at his hip. There was a one-way mirror in the room, with a small room connected to it. It allowed us to be able to see in the room, without Cory seeing us.Not only did it give us privacy to discuss things, but it also permitted us to be able to monitor him and communicate with him through some monitors. I could tell by the way Caleb was getting antsy that he wanted to torture it out of him.

Hunter-When I came to, it took me a minute to get my bearings. I had to run a mental run-through of everything I knew, just so I could make sure I didn’t lose my memory again. Then I remembered what I had been doing prior to everything going black on me.Rather, I remembered what was done to me. Now that I was thinking about it, I felt this burning sensation on my chest. As I focused on the burn, it increasingly became worse.Tearing at the shirt that I was wearing, I was a bit stunned when it ripped easily. I knew I was strong, but not like this. It had been like ripping paper. Without much, if any, effort the fabric gave way.Looking down at my chest, I saw a spiral branded on my chest. Touching it with my hand, I expected it to hurt, but it felt like it was already scarred over. With this kind of burn mark, I expected it to take months to heal and scar over.“Oh good. You are awake.” I heard Artemis’s voice from the door
