Looking around the burning room I am confused and scared and worried about how I even got here to begin with. I burnt my hand and it was still throbbing, but it didn’t seem to be healing or even progressing like it should be. Not for a wolf. I tried to call Elsa forward, but I got nothing. It was radio silent inside my head. Like she wasn’t there at all. I tried to move forward towards the fire again, trying to find another way out. When I saw a break in the fire, I thought I would take my chance. But it closed up again, before I had a chance to run through it and my shirt caught on fire. I quickly used my hands to tap out my burning clothes, but I looked down at the seared clothing and the more burns that I had on my hands. Suddenly a hidden door opened up on the other side of the room and Connor came running in. “Aurora.” He yelled. “Connor.” I yelled back. When he saw me there, he tried to brave the fire to get to me. He pulled back a few times because of the heat comi

Peyton started waving her hands around and chanting in a strange language. I couldn’t understand what she was saying and she was speaking so softly that it was almost impossible for me to hear with my werewolf hearing. But she grabbed some powder out of a bowl and started sprinkling that over Aurora’s body while still chanting. I noticed Peyton’s breathing was getting a little labored and she was struggling. It was using all of her energy to do this spell but she didn’t need a book or anything to do what she was doing. She knew the spell all along. She just chose not to do it because she didn’t think she could. That’s what pissed me off the most. She was going to let her daughter suffer without even trying. I wasn’t going to hate her if she couldn’t do it, but the fact that she wasn’t going to try is what really pissed me off more. All because she obviously didn’t have any confidence in herself or her abilities. She claims that she doesn’t have many powers, I believe that she

AURORA’S POV I sat there staring at the red witch while Connor was still right in front of me. He was looking between her and me. He knew that there was something going on here. I was still a little confused. I was stuck in a burning room with no way out and now I was in my bedroom, like I had just woken up from a bad dream or something. Only it wasn’t a dream. And there are people surrounding me and the red witch. Why the hell would the red witch be here if it was just a dream? “Yes, Aurora. You do know me.” She said, taking her hood off of her face. “She’s the red witch. Everyone knows her.” Connor said. “Scarlett.” I said. “It’s very good to see you again, Aurora. I knew you would get out of that house eventually.” She said. “Yeah. With no help from you.” I growled. “You know that I couldn’t help you.” She said. “You were my friend.” I said. “Hold on. How the hell do you two know each other? She’s not a werewolf.” Connor said. “Dad brought her to the house when

So Connor explained the whole situation with the barriers which will stop anyone from seeing them if they don’t want them to. It will keep dad and the black witch away from them. And I went to find Scarlett. I told her about the situation and at first she was pissed. “I can’t believe that bitch is still going on about that portal. She’s been wanting to open that thing for 20 years.” Scarlett said. “Well, she’s found a way to do it. And now we need to protect as many wolves as possible. Can you go with them and put up barriers around their packs?” I asked. “What about your training?” She asked. “I’ll train on my own from what I learnt today. And we’ll pick up when you get back. It’s either that or these Alpha’s are going to bring their entire packs here, who won’t fit in the castle because there will be thousands upon thousands of wolves and that will give our location away because they will be all through these woods.” I said. “Alright. I’ll go back to their packs with the

We got set up in Portland and I saw that the pack was located about an hour out of the city. I didn’t even know that my father owned property around this part of the country. But that didn’t really surprise me. I didn’t know anything about that man. And I didn’t even know anything about myself until I left his pack. Connor sent scouts to check out the pack before we attempted anything and we just had to wait at the hotel where we were staying until they checked in with us. “Are you alright?” Connor asked, coming back into the suite. “Yeah. I’m good. How’s the rest of the pack? Are they ready?” I asked. “Yeah. But they’re always ready.” He said. “I guess you trained them that way.” I said. Connor walked over and sat on the bed next to me and grabbed a hold of my hand while I was staring out the window. “Are you ready for this? You haven’t seen your father since. And you didn’t practice much with Scarlett.” “Honestly, I don’t think I need it. I just needed to know that
