Brooklyn-The next day flew by in a blink of an eye. Tate and I were up early to start training since we expected things were going to be busy. Which is exactly what happened. As soon as we were done training, we went back to get changed and showed. Since yesterday morning I hadn’t received another note, but that all changed after I finished with my shower. Except for this time, Tate was the one who found the note. It hadn’t said much more than, ‘See you soon.’ For the next few hours, the entire pack had been on high alert as we tried to see if we could catch him. Three hours in, we had no luck. If it hadn’t been for my uncle showing up, we would have continued looking. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to work with putting up a ward around the territory. Tate still hadn’t been happy with having a warlock in the borders of his pack, but he said that I had a right to know my uncle. Not to mention that after the

Tatum-Just as planned, we all met at the backside of the pack territory. Brook and I were there first to arrive, but we didn’t have long to wait until Ryan and Jarrod, along with Ryan’s guards, arrived. We were just waiting on Eric, who still had ten more minutes.“Are you up for this tonight?” Ryan asked Brook.I looked over at Brook and found her fidgeting with her hands. She looked nervous, but I had complete faith in her abilities. This morning when we were training, it was as if she did a complete turnaround.Never in my life have I ever seen someone improve so much in their abilities, in just a short time. Watching her had been the highlight of my day. She was flawless in her movements and effortless in her attacks. I had asked her earlier how she was feeling about things; she had claimed she was fine. Now, however, she looked as if she were ready to upchuck. “We don’t have to do this tonight if you aren&

Brooklyn-When we arrived at the border, I was a bit surprised when we just walked right past one of my old pack members. I know Jarod said he could get us in undetected, but this was unreal. It wasn’t that I hadn’t believed it, but it was a whole different thing entirely when I was seeing it happen. I waited until we were a safe distance away before saying anything.“How is it possible that he didn’t even catch our scent or see us?” I whispered, trying not to cause any unwanted attention our way.“You don’t have to whisper. They can’t sense us at all. In order for me to explain it fully, you would have to understand magic. The best I can do is say it in a way you would understand. Basically, what I am doing is keeping a shield of a sort around us that keeps the others out. There is a thing known as light and dark energy. The dark energy recognizes negative energy, so when around an enemy it reacts to it and repels

Brooklyn- Getting my hands on Chad’s throat, I could have easily done a partial shift on my hand and ripped out his throat. Chad must have seen the intention in my gaze as well because his eyes widened in surprise. It would have been quick, painless even, I would never have to deal with him again. So why did I hesitate? My hesitation allowed Chad the opportunity to escape. He didn’t just escape, no, he ran. Instead of attacking me again, he took off in a different direction. I thought about chasing after him, to do the very thing I hesitated on, but I couldn’t afford to leave Tate or Jarod alone. Things were escalating out of control. Between Jarod and me, we managed to kill three of our attackers each, but as soon as one was down, another would show up. Tate was still fighting with the first hunter and more have arrived. Eric had given a distraction alright, apparently, they were drawing the pack’s attention as well from different locations, but it w

Tatum-I wasn’t sure what Brooklyn was thinking, but I had a feeling that she was trying to surrender. If I hadn’t looked over at her when I did, she probably would have made it across the border. If she thought for one second, I was going to risk losing her, she had another thing coming.Jarod needed to hurry up and get the ward back in place. When Brooklyn had stepped to the side to try to get around me, I didn’t even need to tell Axel to stop her. We were both in sync, neither of us was going to let her get past us.I tried to talk to her through the link, but she wasn’t letting me get through. The look in her eyes made me realize that if she did manage to get by me, there was nothing I was going to be able to do to get her to change her mind. That was only if she managed to do so. I was just as determined to not let her by me.“I have to do this. It is the only way to buy time to protect everyone. My life isn’t wort
