Cirilla's Point Of ViewThe glow of blinding lights was the only thing that filled my vision for long, torturing seconds before a magic force vomited us in the middle of a forest. The natural darkness had begun to evade, the morning was brighter."I feel sick," Kali's words yanked my attention to her side. She was resting against the bark of a tree, her chest rising and falling with heavy pants. "Are you okay?" As her eyes traveled over to me, I looked away, getting off the ground, and dusting the leaves and dirt from my clothes and hair."I'll live," I managed to say as her stare persisted on me. "Where the hell are we?""Still in Seattle, but somewhere safe," She jumped to her feet, the bottom of her long dress sweeping the leaves as she strutted closer. "At least for now,""In the middle of nowhere?" I cocked a brow.And a chuckle loosened effortlessly from her lips. "There's a house up ahead," She immediately led the way, and soon, we stood in front of an old, abandoned house."

Asher's Point Of ViewRyker and I were moving fast, racing through one of the forests in Seattle. This was the fastest route to get to Beacon Fall. It was almost the outskirts of Seattle. We had obviously wasted so much time already, scouring through every nook and cranny of Redmond, searching for Cirilla, with no luck at all. Theo, Julia, Malia, Carl, Eric, and warriors from the Crescent Moon Pack had already spread out to other cities, in case she was no longer in Redmond. But that wasn't the case. She was there. A vampire informant had reached out to Cameron. We had no idea how she was even able to track the place, but she was there. Even as we were moving as fast as we could, I wished we could go faster. Our gargantuan paws hammer into the earth as we sped by trunks, and leaped over obstacles. I felt so close to finding her, yet still so far. Restless and angry and felt an anguish I had never felt before.As the sun bloomed over the horizon, I knew Theo, Julia and the rest of t

Cirilla's Point of ViewThe magic around me caught my attention, and a blurry light covered my vision. As soon as the light died, silence filled the air. I was still in the temple, but there was no Kali, and I was staring at what seemed like a thousand years ago.There were several women around, all dressed in strange clothes and chanting in a language I couldn't understand. A woman with a small, strange mark on her wrist was performing some kind of spell on the woman in labor. But the magic that bled in the air was powerful. As I moved around, they couldn't see me. It was an ancient memory of how it all started.The cries of babies startled me as they filled the cave. Twins. A baby boy and a girl. And then the surroundings changed. I didn't know where I found myself, but I was in the middle of a meadow where several dead bodies of children lay on the ground with the pyramid symbol etched on their foreheads in blood. Like in my dreams.Before I could move a muscle, my surroundings cha

Cirilla's Point Of View“Are you sure you are feeling a hundred percent alright?” Came Lyra's voice, and the same question almost everyone in the room had asked me, including Julia. That was shocking. But not as shocking and nerve-wracking as what I was currently feeling.I was at the Crescent Moon Pack. Right here in the home of the Alpha King and Queen. Exactly what I wanted. To get answers. But unfortunately, I don't feel the satisfying feeling.It felt like everything had gone wrong. Kali was dead. Mason was out there, alive. Inevitably searching for his powers and I was a second from having the worst panic attack of my life about to face the Alpha and his mate. The man I'd always seen in the picture that was hidden in Jasmine’s drawer. The man I had resented for abandoning me, and the woman I had always been in my dreams. I had known her before even realizing who she was to me. They were my parents.That word sent a strange emotion to stir within me and my eyes were now drenched

Cameron's Point of ViewSilence flooded the court as everyone settled in their seats. It was a small circle of friends we had fought side by side and now call family. We had called an urgent meeting within the pack to bring everyone up to speed on the new situation and discuss what to do next.It was barely up to twenty-four since we got our little girl back, but the news had spread faster than a wildfire. Ever since the prophecy leaked out from the walls of the Council, my daughter has become a target for many. The pack borders have always been heavily guarded, and though I knew no one was stupid enough to bring some trouble unless they were seeking death, I still had some reservations about the Council.Everyone was scared, and I didn't blame them. The rate at which more ranking officials have been dying the last few days has increased by triple, but there was no way we could ever beat this darkness if we didn't stay on the same page, and they finally understood that there was no wa
