Tyler POV I have no idea where to start, Lisha has been sitting across from me for the last half hour, and every time I go to say something to her, my mind goes blank. I wasn't disgusted by her actions tonight; I was horrified that she had willingly put herself in danger. What if something had gone wrong? She could have been killed, yet she was sitting opposite me, cool as a cucumber, not even concerned about how I felt. I scratch my beard looking up when she sighs and says, “Look, I know your angry, Tyler, but what's done is done. You need to move past it.” I growl, “What?” She tilts her head to the left, narrowing her eyes at me as she hisses, “I know you're disgusted with what happened tonight; get over it.” I lean toward her and snarl, “I was not disgusted that you killed the guard Lisha; I was fucking furious that you willingly put yourself in danger.” She shakes her head, asking, “I saw an opportunity, and I took it.” “So you're telling me that if you had the

Lisha POV I have never really taken any notice of my brother's looks; why would I? Xavier is my brother, so when he turns to me smiling and holds his hand out, I am astonished at his attractiveness. Xavier has pulled his wavy shoulder-length black hair into a man bun; thick black eyelashes surround his dark eyes. The paleness of his skin only accentuates the darkness of his chocolate-brown eyes. His lips curve at the edges as he looks down at me; I am not short by any means, but next to his six foot two height, I feel small; he shrugs his broad shoulders, repeating the question he asked before we came outside. “Are you ready little sister?” I chuckle, “Yes, big brother, I am.” He raises his eyebrows, inclining his head toward his outstretched hand, “Place your hand in mine and picture where you want to go in your mind.” We had already discussed we needed to create a distraction before going to the cabin; I take hold of Xavier's hand and picture the border closest to the cast

Lisha POV My lips curl in disgust when I see Theo lying in bed; the bastard is barely clinging to life. He must know his dying, but he is still fighting with what little life force he has left inside his weak, frail body. For fucks sake, why can't he die already? The room smells like death; Xavier grabbed hold of my arm when I moved closer to the bed. Theo’s skin is feverish, sweat beads on every inch of his body, and his hair is soaking wet, clinging to his scalp. I shake Xavier's hold on me off, pick up the pillow Theo isn't using, and walk calmly to the other side of the bed. Theo’s eyes flutter open, but his too far gone to recognize me. I arch a brow looking over my shoulder at Xavier and whisper, “Is there any way we can make him suffer just a little longer?” Xavier shakes his head impatiently, takes the pillow off me, and covers Theo’s face. Theo is too far gone to put up much of a fight; I lean over him, listening to his chest as he slowly dies; his heart thuds once, tw

Skyla POV I gag when I see Damian's body; I am a cold-hearted bitch; killing doesn't bother me, but nobody deserves to die like that. Tears are streaming down Lisha’s face when she rises to her feet and runs back upstairs; I mindlink Xavier, “Find Tyler. We need to stop Lisha.” I can hear the puzzlement in Xavier's voice when he links me back, asking, “What have you done?” I hiss, ”Fuck you, Xavier. I didn't do anything; Lisha found Damian's body.” A sob escapes me when I continue, “Xavier, it was horrible; they tortured the poor bastard to death.” He doesn't answer me at first. When he does, he asks, “Which way did she go.” I shake my head, forgetting he can't see me, and mutter, “I don't know, but she said anyone who took part in Damian's torture would die.” Xavier growls, “Fuck, get your ass up here; Tyler has assembled all the werewolves in front of the castle.” I ran upstairs, staggering when the golden sun's rays hit me, blinding my sight momentarily. M

Lisha POV I am sitting on my bed, waiting for Skyla and Lilly to turn up; in my hands rests the urn that contains Damian's ashes. We had his funeral yesterday; today, I will sprinkle Damian's ashes in the part of the forest I set fire to so that when I bring the trees, flowers, and foliage back to life, each one will contain a small piece of Damian. Damian loved this place. His spirit should stay forever in the forest surrounding his realm. Most of our wolves have been healed; there are only a few left that will take another couple of days to recover. Tyler and Xavier are training the warriors in preparation for the attack on the Seelie realm. We need to act swiftly, or Allana will find out what we are planning. Xavier is going home later today to ensure his domain is safe; if there's a way to contact Allana, he will do it, as we need to figure out how to get all our warriors into her realm without her being alerted. Lilly and Skyla stroll into my room without knocking; I stand,
