BRANTLEY'S POVIt was a question I really needed to ask because this was our reality. I didn’t know anything about the evil except that it haunted me for a long time and it had it out for Bentley the most.“From what I gathered, it’s out for me the most, and I’m going to guess that it’s because it knew that we were mates before we did, but I refuse to let it get the best of us. You want to be with me and I want to be with you. We’ll fight it,” she smiled, caressing my cheek. She was still laying on me.“You promise?” I whispered. She leaned down and kissed me again.“I promise,” she replied.We spent the rest of the morning together, getting to know each other. It turned out that we knew the basics about each other, based on the observations we'd made in the past. I was more than happy that she was giving me a chance to prove myself worthy. We separated for a while, just so that we could each go and get ready for the day. We met up again in the hallway and she was wearing a beautiful

CYRUS’ POVI woke up and it was really bright around me. By the looks of things, I’d survived being in the cave I found shelter in for the night. I had to blink a couple of times to readjust my sight. My parents warned me that my senses would become heightened, but it’s not as bad as they made it sound.If anything, the whole heightened senses thing is pretty cool. My hearing was the only truly sensitive thing, but everything else was fine. I’m yet to get my wolf, though I could feel something stirring within me.Being a Lycan so far is amazing really. I’m stronger and faster than I’ve ever been, and the enhanced sight and smell are the coolest things. It’s like I’m a better version of myself, which is ironic because I’m actually the real version of myself.It took a while before it dawned on me that I’m also royalty. My parents explained to me that should Azalea take up the throne, I’m next in line as her Beta, which would explain why I was so intent on being her friend to begin with

CYRUS' POVI raised an eyebrow at her. “I’m sorry? For a moment there, I was sure you said the castle.”“Think about it Cy! That’s the place where this whole mess began. Don’t you think that it’s then the perfect place to start?” she argued.I shook my head. “You’ll die before you even have the chance to find your parents Shay. It’s a bad idea of all sorts.”“Then what do you suggest I do? Sit and wait around?” she snapped.“Or you could go back to The Rebelution and use their resources. Perhaps you could even tell them who you are?” I suggested.She shook her head. “I can’t do that until Simiyan gives the go-ahead.”“Ok, then just exploit their resources. If they’re trying to take down the evil, then you can bet that they’ve run their research on your parents. Rather find out what they’ve got and take it from there. It’s the safer bet right now,” I pointed out.“I guess you’re right, but then your plan suggests that I have to go back to that psycho wolf,” she noted.My parents had al

AZALEA’S POVI was sure that I would go insane because of this world!So much had happened to me that I was failing to see the positives in being here. Things were definitely not turning out the way that I’d hoped they would. I was supposed to be well on my way to finding my parents, and yet here I am worried for my life.Hiding from a certain black wolf.The thought of the huge beast took me back to that night – the night I truly feared something for the first time in my life. I didn’t know why I’d spent so much time with Clayton. It had been both unnerving and comforting, which is what put me on edge about the situation.It wasn’t supposed to be like that.We spent more than a week in each other’s company, barely saying anything to each other. He’d only talk if he was asking me if I was ok, which was every thirty minutes at best. That’s the part I can accept though. The part that scared me, or at least rattled me, was when he held me when I felt like the evil was consuming me whole.

AZALEA’S POVIt took all of thirty minutes for us to be found.I flung a dagger in the direction of the person who’d kicked the door, and they froze as it hit the doorframe.“WHAT THE FUCK ZAE?” Thane swore at me with a scowl on his face.I shrugged. “Who gave you the right to barge in like a bunch of wild animals?”“Oh, so you’re just going to act like you didn’t run away?” Bennett asked. I don’t think any of them had noticed Cyrus in the room yet.“You would run too if a big ass beast was after you!” I snapped.“He wouldn’t have- oof!” Brantley stopped as Bentley hit him in the side.Weird!“Well, as you can see, I’m safe. Now can we leave?” I asked.“Wait, you actually lured us out?” Titus asked incredulously.“Didn’t think you were that attached to me huh?” I teased.Thane shook his head. “I don’t know whether to be angry or impressed.”“I’d definitely go with the second one,” I smiled.“Of course you would,” they rolled their eyes before Cyrus coughed. All eyes turned to him befo
