[Leah’s POV]I stood in the hallway listening to the voices that drifted from the room I was currently outside of. After waking up and finding myself in an infirmary completely cleaned up and bandaged, I immediately reached out in an attempt to find the others. Once locating them, I wasted no time getting out of bed and making my way towards where they were.As I considered the fact that I had been drugged, I found myself growing angrier and angrier until I couldn’t stand back and listen any longer."....Blood of the child’s mother..."The words drifted towards me, spurring me to move, pushing open the door and taking in the large scene where everyone was gathered."Take it." I snapped, drawing everyone’s attention to me. "You need my blood?" I continued, stopping in front of an odd man I had never seen before. "Take it."Before he could respond, I extended a claw and placed it against my arm. I dug it deep into my skin and yanked, creating a deep cut that began to openly bleed onto t

[Leah’s POV]I slowly crept around the side of Kelvin’s castle, looking for a way to get in without being noticed. However, I was coming up empty-handed. I knew that it had been a long shot, but I had come this far. I couldn’t give up now. No matter what, I had to get into the building. Arabia and Asher were in it waiting for me.Letting out a breath, I pressed my hands against the castle's wall and began to feel around for any cracks or crevices that could be used as claw-holds. However, the thing was smoother than my legs after shaving."Poor lost little Lycan." A bubbly voice chirped, causing me to tense up. "Don’t you know that bad things can happen when you venture off alone?"Trying to remain calm, I slowly turned to face Aldina. As our eyes met, a slow smile spread across her face as she flashed her fangs at me."Do you want to come home and be my pet?" She purred, remaining completely at ease. "Or would you rather just be put out of your misery right here and now?"Slowly shif

[Asher’s POV]I waited until Leah was safely out of the area before turning my full attention to Kelvin. There was no getting around it this time. I had committed a grave sin against him and now all that I could do was fight to stay alive until I could get Arabia back."How sweet." Kelvin laughed, giving a small clap. "The hero saves the damsel.""I’m not interested in your ridiculous back and forth." I snapped.Drawing on my powers, I focused on the roof above Kelvin’s head, sending a ball of energy crashing into it. Immediately, rubble and debris began to fall, giving me the opening that I needed. Rushing forward, I avoided getting hit as Kelvin fought to see.I didn’t look back as I felt Kelvin’s powers reaching towards me, threatening to stop me in my tracks.Drawing on my own, I created a barrier and continued to move, turning down a long, winding hallway that would lead to the main portion of the building. Behind me, I could hear Kelvin whistling as he leisurely followed. That a

[Ashton’s POV]"Stay back." I hissed as Thia attempted to follow Leah and Ian into the fray. "You don’t have any of your abilities right now.""That doesn’t matter." Thia snapped. "My family is in danger. I can't just sit here!""Yes, you can." I countered. "Please, just listen to me this once. Go and find the kids; get them far away from all of this. I’ll find you as soon as I can. "Before Thia could argue, I quickly leaned forward and kissed her. The kiss was nothing more than a quick peck, but I could feel so much from it. Pulling away, I gave Thia a smile as Tatiana appeared behind her and placed her hands on her shoulders. Once they vanished from sight, I turned towards the battle field and began to move.Around me was pure chaos, and it was hard to tell who was gaining the advantage. The ground beneath my feet was scattered with both the bodies of the enemies and those of my fellow comrades. Why Azura and her warriors hadn’t appeared was beyond me, but I couldn’t focus too hard

[Leah’s POV]"Could you explain why you’re here?" I demanded as Craig began to pull me along."Later." Craig huffed, looking over his shoulder at the creatures that were following us. "First, we need to get away from these guys!""Why not fight them?" I asked, digging my heels into the earth. "You’re just leading them back to my home like this!"None of this made much sense to me. Craig roaming around outside of my home and then not seeming too surprised at seeing these creatures. There was clearly something going on that I wasn’t aware of, but what was it?"Are you crazy?" Craig asked as I finally managed to break free of his hold. "What can you possibly..."The rest of his words died out as I called on the fire and let it explode towards the creatures. Giving a satisfied smile, I watched as the monsters closest to me began to shrivel and shriek. I would make sure they understood that they fucked with the wrong person."Leah, look out!" Craig called, just as an arrow flew by my head
