I nervously tapped my finger on the wooden table in front of me. Currently Callan, Alpha Kendrik, Luna Christy and I were waiting in a cottage near the west borders. It was meant for border petrol, to rest and stuff while they changed shifts.After I had informed Alpha Kendrik about Peter Welch's case, he had immediately ordered a few border gaurds to escort Peter out of the general prisons and bring him to this very cottage.All four of us were sat around a wooden table, anxiously waiting for the truth to unfold before us."Hey, it'll be okay Anaïs" Callan said to me when he noticed I was getting increasingly nervous as the time ticked by. He gently took hold of my hand which I was nervously tapping on the table and gave it a small squeeze.I looked at him and smiled gratefully but wasn't able to hold the smile much longer, given the grave situation we were in."I'm just worried, that's all" I said, drawing my eyebrows together. I just hoped if I was right, we'd be able to help him.

It was morning by the time we were done formulating a plan. Daylight crept into conference room 2 through the two salwood windows and we could pick up the chirping of birds outside.I looked around the conference room and saw every single person present was utterly exhausted. We discussed Peter Welch's situation all night long and everytime it seemed as if we had reached to a concrete plan, something would fall through.The most difficult part of our plan would be not being able to shift. After further questioning Peter, we found out that the underground hideout of the rogues was located beneath an abandoned factory in the city where Peter worked.That's how the rogues set their eyes on Peter and his family in the first place. The problem was that since we had to carry out the rescue and capture mission in the city, we couldn't shift in front of the humans. We would have to carry guns with silver bullets and even though pack members are trained with guns and knives as well, we are str

Callan's POVI felt it in every molecule of my body. It was as if I had been struck by lightning amd my insides were burning but I was cold, so cold at the same time.I was fighting off a shifted rogue when it happened. While I was busy shooting the enemy, a sneaky fucker shifted and latched itself onto my arm by digging his teeth into my flesh. I shot it right between it's eyes and the rogue fell limp.I was about to tune back into the battle when I felt my heart squeeze and burn. My wolf and I instinctively knew Anaïs was hurt, I could feel a small burn in my abdomen, I could feel her pain."Anaïs?!!? Anaïs?!!!" I screamed through our mind link but my words were met with a wall. It was as if her side of the link had suddenly disappeared.A loud and painful growl left my throat. I couldn't leave my men here and neither do I know her position!! My wolf was clawing at my mind, begging for me to run and find our mate but I didn't move, I didn't abandon my fighters and kept on shooting t

Anaïs's POVI think everybody was shocked seeing me up and about after...well after I lost my wolf. I think they expected me to cry around for atleast a few more days but I was in all honesty exhausted from crying.Nobody had any idea as to why I lost Isis, apparently this doesn't happen very often. A werewolf losing their wolf is not unheard of, it happens or that's what my research showed. But it has only been recorded to happen in two situations: one, if the wolf deems it's human too unworthy and a serious danger to other creatures and decides to take away his natural advantage and two, if the wolf's mate dies.It has never happened with a simple gunshot wound which is what makes my case unique. I know Isis didn't find me a danger to other living creatures, hell I was out there risking my life trying to save pack members! And I sure as hell didn't lose Callan...so nobody had a single clue as to why this had happened.I was currently sitting in the pack house's kitchen, eating cerea

We were back at the pack house in no time. This whole shit took way less time than we had anticipated. We thought getting my wolf back would require rituals and sacrifices, maybe hunting down some rare animal to spill it's blood or something but all I had to do to get Isis back....is have sex with Callan?Can this be that simple? The witch said I hadn't lost Isis...she was just asleep. Do wolf just go into hybernation all of a sudden? Was it the shock of being shot? Why would Isis just become dorment?I didn't know the answers to the "why" but I do know the answer as to how I am supposed to fix this and bring back Isis.After I was done helping the guards put away all the accutrement they had packed for the trip, I made my way upstairs to my room. After we came back from the mission, Callan had packed up my stuff from my home and shifted it across his room in the pack house. We were on the second floor, with the Beta's family but they were on the other side of the corridor which meant
