Alice’s Point of viewAfter the doctors examined me, my mother rushed to my side. "How are you feeling?""Tired, but I'm okay. I'm sore all over but the doctors gave me some painkillers. They told me that I've been here for three days."I hear my father swallow. "Yes. Do you remember what happened?"I nod. "Yes, a car hit me. I didn't see the model or the driver. And I don't think it was an accident."Someone knocks on the door and I see Sam, Melanie, Alpha Jack, and Derek walk in. They all hug me, telling me how happy they are that I am alive. "I was so scared when I got there and found you." Derek tells me."You were the one who found me?" I ask, surprised.He nods. "I was with Miss Gibson at school and we heard a car speed up and a loud noise. We went outside to see what was

Elliot’s Point of view"How are you feeling?" Asks my grandfather as he sits in the chair next to my bed. Even though he's 70 years old, he's far from being an old fart. He has the same hair as my father and me, I mean had, because today it is mostly white. I reassure myself that if I'm lucky I will be like him and won't have baldness. "I am doing very well. I keep saying it but everyone is too afraid of my mother to allow me to leave." I say with a laugh.I expect him to laugh too but he just gives me a forced smile."I have a question. I know you never liked my mom very much. Is that because she grew up with Luna Mary?"He looks at me, mouth agape. "But how..."I cut him off and lie. "I found an old picture of her with Luna Mary and Alpha Jack. I deduced that the three of them grew up together."

Alice’s Point of view"Oh, you. I swear I'm going to get up and throw you against the wall. I'll slice you in half with my daggers, slash you with my claws, finish you off with a baseball bat and put what's left of you in a blender!" I scream at this machine of evil.The doctor enters at the same time. "Alpha Alice. Who are you talking to?""To your heart monitor of doom! The beep is driving me crazy!"I see him panic. He hasn't forgotten what I did to the last one. "Please calm down. The angrier you get, the faster and louder it beeps and the more it annoys you. It's a vicious cycle that you can only break by calming down." He tells me softly as if he was talking to a child.I urge myself to calm down and the machine resumes a slow beep. "Please tell me you're going to let me out.""Unfortunately, yes. You've healed incredibly fast and the Ki

Alice’s Point of viewI reluctantly follow Derek into a private room. Cassie is giving me a headache because she wants us to stay with Elliot and no matter how much I remind her why it's impossible, she doesn't budge.I sit down on one of the couches and Derek sits down next to me. He looks embarrassed and that doesn't sound good to me."Uh. Alice. I have something to tell you."Oh no. No no no."I heard rumors that our fathers wanted us to mark each other." That sounds more like a statement than a question but I nod. "Yes I've heard rumors but my dad never told me anything about it." "Well, mine did when you were in the hospital. Apparently, they've been talking about it since we were kids because we've always been so close. They thought we'd be fated mates and they were disappointed that we weren't. So was I." H

Alice’s Point of view"Are you sure?" Ben asks."Positive." Assures Elliot.I fall into the chair next to Elliot. "So how did they do it?"Ben sighs loudly and drinks a large glass of whiskey. "I don't know. Maybe some other spells or potions don't require a sacrifice." We remain silent for a moment before Elliot speaks up again."At least we have some assumptions now. We won't have any more answers on the subject tonight. On the other hand, I do have some other information."He then tells the story of our mothers and Ben is stunned. He's even more shocked by the story of our grandfathers and I have to admit that I was so not ready for that. Like, really not ready."This is impossible." I say. "We would have heard about this Violet and this Vivian for sure.""That's just it. According
