Lucas's POV As I watched Endora being taken away on Finns back, I linked everyone to tell them to be careful, shift the moment you can, stalking through as quietly as possible.As we trekked through the woods, close to the paths that were laid out for about an hour we finally started to see houses coming into view. As we got closer to the town we were sensed, we heard alarms going off, then wolves appeared in front of us, they surrounded the entire town, also some creatures like the one that made its way into our home, the monster that took Chloe except now there were multiple around, weaving themselves throughout the wolves. Vampires were in the shadows, we could see their red eyes.'The vampires can't attack out in the daylight, stay clear of the shadows of possible, if they attack pull them into the light!' 'Yes Alpha' Growls were filling the air from both sides, louder and louder they became until the first attacks started. I needed to find Chloe, I didn't want her caught up in

Alaric's POV That guy walking up, looking me in the eyes, without wavering, I knew he wanted to embrace her so I bit back that initial jealousy then nodded to him. He was obviously respectful unlike most would be. Then I saw him look to his Alpha, rage seeping from him but he looked back at her, embracing her in a tight hug iniwhich she returned.I knew they were speaking to one another but words weren't processing with me at the moment as I watched the moment around us all. No one on either side was moving, some slowly shifting back then putting some clothes on but they all stood in place just watching everything unfold around them.The fighting had stopped, no more blood shed. We lost a few on both sides, I felt the link break 6 times, others definitely injured. When the man hugging her finally let her go, I could tell they were still speaking, privately through mindlink, made me wonder what kind of relationship these two seemed to have. I felt myself b

Lucas's POV 'You hurt our mate! I told you not to touch that witch but you didn't listen, you blocked me out, not mate is hurt' Gage is reeling in me right now, trying to ouch forward, show her he still loves her, wants to beg her not to leave him but I am torn.I went to shower, in her shower like she asked me to do. We aren't done, she said, I don't know if I want to know where this is going.Turning on the shower, stepping in letting the heat run over my body as I scrub off Endora's scent off of me. I don't know what had come over me, since the moment I saw her she has consumed my thoughts, no matter howbhard Gage would fight against it I couldn't help myself, most times I didn't even hear him until it was to late anyway, letting those feelings take over me.I finished cleaning myself, I scrubbed myself so hard I was red, I did it twice as well. I didn't mean to hurt Chloe, I definitely wanted to get her scent off of me for her also.As I got o

Chloe's POV The last month has gone by in a blur, lots of training, learning to control my anger, spending time with friends as well as attempting to work on things with Lucas.We have gone one dates, attempted to try making more time everyday for one another but its still not how it was. I can feel that Gage is happy with us but Lucas isn't really all there when with us. I believe that Lucas has fallen for that witch Endora but Gage forces him to be with his mate.We were supposed to go out tonight but I told him that I needed a night to myself for a change. It's not true, I just needed a night without trying to force a smile on my face, a break from feeling his emotions. He was perfectly fine with it, kissed my cheek then left the house.'You know he's going to her, even of they don't do anything intimate, they are together' 'I know Callie, I'm sorry, I just needed the night, let's go for a run' she nodded then jumped up in excitement, she loves night runs more than anything.Mindl

Alaric's POV It's been months now, no sign of her, I know she can feel me but nit being able to feel her is killing me.My anger is out of control, I stopped sleeping in my room, it no longer smells of her.I sleep on the couch in my office, when I cam actually fall asleep anyway. Everything here reminds me of her, reminds me that she left, I close my eyes just to see an image of her in my memories. I'm so lost now.After she ran from me, saying she loved me, those words resonating in my mind 'I'm never going to say goodbye to you, I can't, I love you so much Alaric, my love for you will not fade even with a distance between us. I want you to find happiness in the way you showed me that I can have it when I am with you. This isn't me saying goodbye to you, this is me saying I hope that I see you again in this lifetime or the next, but you will forever live in my heart and I will always see you in my dreams'It's on repeat when I close my eyes, thi
