[Danica’s POV]I rushed forward, attacking the first rogue I could find. Despite my draw to them earlier on, now that I had unlocked my wolf, I no longer felt it, at least not in the way I did before. Now, I could control my movements, and I didn't lose myself.Realizing that maybe it was due to my father’s side all this time, I bit down as hard as I could on the rogue’s shoulder, causing a loud snarl to escape it.I gave it a yank and dodged its claws before landing on my paws. Spitting out the skin I managed to tear, I went in for the kill, wrapping my jaws around the rogue’s throat until I could feel a pop from its spine cracking.Jumping aside, I watched as it fell to the ground and didn’t move. Only when I was sure that it was dead did I turn my attention to the fray all around me.‘Next.’ Lizbeth purred.Turning, I found my next victim and began to move while it was distracted by one of my pack members.Leaping forward, I dug my claws into its back, tackling it to the ground, an

[Mason’s POV]I didn’t bother waiting for my younger self’s response before I was making my way towards the portal that was left open to the Dark Forest pack. If we wanted to end this, we would need their assistance."Where are you going now?" My younger self demanded, catching up with me. "Could you at least explain what you’re planning?""I’m going to find Dax." I huffed, "Have you gathered a team?""No, Chris is doing that." My younger self responded. "I was too damn worried that you might do something stupid to leave you alone."Rolling my eyes, I stopped in front of the shimmering portal that I was looking for. Lifting a hand, I motioned for my younger self to follow me before stepping through and finding myself standing in the darklands."Come on." I called over my shoulder to my younger self before beginning to move. "We can’t waste any time.""And when we get them to help, do you even know where to go?" My younger self continued."Amy and Greg do." I snapped in irritation. "If

[Mason’s POV]I led the way into the cave as Amy walked closely beside me. Luckily, it was currently low tide, so we were able to get in this way while the others took up the back."Up here." Amy announced, lifting a finger and pointing towards a large rock along the cave's back wall. "There’s a hole that is big enough for a single person to get through there."Nodding, I shifted back into my human form and made my way forward while the others waited.Gripping the rock that Amy indicated, I began to heave, using all my strength until finally it began to move. A blast of air slapped me in the face, along with Danica’s scent mixed in with the others within."She’s close." I called, continuing to move the rock until it was out of the way. "All of you go in first, and I’ll follow behind."Stepping aside, I watched as my warriors went in first, with Amy and Greg taking up the rear."You go on." My younger self urged once it was only me and him left. "I’ll close the entrance behind us.""If

[Mason’s POV]"...That’s great…"Letting out a sigh, I let Danica’s relieved voice calm the remaining anxiety I was feeling after everything that happened.She was fine, and that meant that I was no longer needed here. I was sure that my younger self and the rest of the pack could deal with the harpies and trolls. It was time for me to go back to my own time, where my mate and pups were waiting for me.Kicking off the wall I was leaning against, I made my way down the hall towards where Killian and the rest of the remaining elders were waiting."How is she?" Killian asked as soon as he spotted me. "Is she awake?""Yeah," I responded. "She’s awake and seems to be fine.""That’s great." Marissa sighed.Nodding, I turned my attention to Arlo, who sat stoically. I was sure he would be the one to know how I could get back to my own time."Go on," Arlo puffed, fixing his gaze on mine. "You’re wanting my help, correct?""That’s right." I confirmed. "Since you were the one to send me here in

[Danica’s POV]I stood in the hall listening as Mason cursed and yelped due to whatever it was that Chester was doing to torture him. Only when the room grew quiet did I begin to worry until a loud bang sounded."What the hell?" I hissed, rushing in to find Mason on the ground while Chester huffed in annoyance. "What is going on here?""Someone thinks that he knows better than the doctor." Chester responded."I don’t need help moving about." Mason insisted, attempting to lift himself.Sighing, I watched as he struggled and then collapsed again."Want to try that again?"Huffing, Mason slowly sat up and then stopped. Giving me a look, he frowned before attempting to stand."Here," I sighed, holding out a hand. "You know it isn’t anything to be embarrassed about."Grumbling, Mason allowed me to help him back up onto the bed before turning his attention to Chester, who was silently watching with amusement."Oh, now you want my help?" Chester asked, earning himself an annoyed growl from M
