Bryanna I stomp around the conference room. My father’s words bounce around in my head, but I can’t believe what he was saying. How could he even think I would do anything for him at this point? He is going behind my back, the pack alpha, and plotting something. I still don’t know exactly what, but an uneasy feeling washes over me every time I think about it. What is he up to? Zack steps up beside me and caresses my back. “Bry, baby, you need to calm down. You don’t know what he wants. He didn’t say anything other than he needs your help. Every time you tried to question him, he was vague and wouldn’t answer your questions. It could be nothing.” Nothing. Ha! If he is calling me, it isn’t nothing. From the other side of the table, Jacob shakes his head. “You don’t know his history. You only know a little of it, which includes her father taking her to a witch to cast the spell. That is only the tip of the iceberg and one of the many reasons, Hunter and I asked to be

ZackI stare at Bry’s laptop and the growing list of unread emails. She said I need to start to learn about her pack and what better way to do it than to jump right in, feet first, into the fire? But what am I thinking? Confusion clouds my head while my eyes nearly go cross-eyed looking at all the emails. With each passing second, more pop up and add to the growing list for us to get through. I take a deep breath and wish for some grand wisdom to wash over me, so I know how to respond to everyone. As I open the first email, Bry walks into the living room with a glass of juice in her hand. “So, have you gotten far? Or do you need me to walk you through what to do?”I tilt my head as I read through the message from an alpha I faintly know of. “I have helped Blake before and have watched over things when he was gone. But I’ve never had to deal with anything like this. The emails have not stopped coming since you opened the software. To be honest, I have never had to deal with

BryannaI breathe a sigh of relief as the ceremony finishes. Everyone congratulates Lindsey, Bethany, and Zack while they mull around in the bunker’s small room. With one command, Blake has broken the three’s connection to his pack. The growing issues with my fathers has involved the elders from all the packs, who agree the connections need to be broken at the same time. This will only buy us some time, but not much. I’m sure my father will soon find out three people instead of one have left the pack and that one of them is Zack. I wish there is a way for us to stay in this little bubble longer. I would call it bliss, but we are still working and investigating the issues with Yellow Moon. When we aren’t working on solving issues, we are wrapped in each other's arms and make love into the night. But through all the happiness, a little black spot named my father seems to mar our paradise. Pushing those dark thoughts out of my mind, I turn towards Zack and playfully ask, “Do yo

ZackMy heart races as I sprint through the forest. I can’t believe she went to the one place in the pack’s territory off limits to everyone right now. What is she thinking? A howl slice through the forest and right through me. I muster together every last bit of energy I have and push myself to go even faster. I need to get to her before anything bad happens. Another howl fills the air, along with a blood-curdling scream. My blood instantly runs cold as fear washes over me. Please, tell me this isn’t coming from her. Through our link, I frantically call out. “Bry! Baby! Tell me you are alright!”As my paws pound the ground, all I get in return is silence. No. This can’t be happening. “Bry! Please don’t do this to me! Tell me you are alive and fine!”My eyes sting as silence is my unwanted answer. I silently wish there is a way to talk and communicate with Blake and the rest of the pack, but I know since the ceremony, my link with them has been cut, and I’m working o

ZackI glare across the desk at Blake. What is he even thinking? Why wouldn’t we go and get Bry back right away? Delaying only means those jerks may hurt her more or something worse. The guy’s comment swirls around in my head and pushes my anger even higher. I ignore Bry’s pleas to wait. Later, she finally connected with me, but she didn’t say what I thought she would. A part of me is still a little hurt by her command to wait a few days. She said she could hopefully get more information about who is behind all of this, but I don’t want to wait. I don’t care about that right now. I want to get her back and wrap her in my arms and never let her go again. Doesn’t she understand how much this is tearing me apart from not having her next to me? Blake shakes his head and matches my glare with one of his own. “Don’t be like this, Zack. Bry even told you she wanted to stay with them for a little while longer and hopefully get some clues about what they are after or who is payin
