...Alpha Xander POV...That mangy pup managed to get away again. I knew attempting to kill her was futile. I just didn't expect that she had managed to tap into her powers so quickly. I thought I still had time. I was worried knowing that she was still out there, and I won't deny that I also considered killing Darius to ensure that the prophecy wouldn't come true.I loved my son dearly, but at the end of the day, if it were my son versus all the other supernatural creatures in the world, I would pick them every time. My son was nothing but a means to an end. I was fully prepared to kill him once I saw that the girl had vanished. It was my men that had stopped me from doing so. Vince had explained to me that Darius seemed more confused than ever. When I turned to look at him, I saw that he was right. At least that mangy pup was good for something. She must've compelled Darius before she left. I needed to test my theory out before making any decisions."So, how did I do?" Darius asks.

...Darius POV...I couldn't sleep. I felt like something bad was about to happen. It felt like there was something I should be remembering but couldn't.'Ash, what's going on? Is there something I'm forgetting?' I ask him through our mindlink.'I don't know. I feel it as well. But I don't understand it either.' Tired of feeling so restless, I decided to do the one thing that always helps me calm down."KEN!" I yell at him through our mindlink."What the F man! It's like FOUR IN THE MORNING?!?! Are you freakin kidding me right now?" Ken yells back at me for disturbing his beauty rest."Get up. I need to spar!" I shout at him."Now?! Why now? What do you have against sleeping?" He replies, clearly annoyed."Nothing when I can sleep. Which I can't right now, so you're going to help.""Oh, come on! Why do you need help? Isn't that what punching bags are for?""Yes. Except punching bags don't fight back.""So what if I don't fight back? Can I go back to bed then?""Just get your lazy ass

...Wynter POV...In a matter of minutes, my life had completely gone upside down. I was pacing my room for the thousandth time today. I needed a plan. And I needed a plan fast. Ever since this morning when I saw Darius latch himself onto that girl, it felt like my heart had shattered into pieces. Not only that, but whenever they were intimate, it felt like my insides were burning.'We can reject him.' Caedance says to me.'It won't work. Rejection will only work if both parties agree to it. Something that will never happen, now that Darius has already found someone else. He's already moved on. So why would he reject us? We don't even exist.'I knew Caedance was upset if she was even suggesting rejecting Darius. She had been pro Darius from the moment we first laid eyes on each other. So I know it's killing her what's happening now. I can't help but blame myself for putting her through this. It's because of who I am that she can't have her true mate. Because I'm a tribrid, I won't be a

Finally, after days of searching, I found her location. I jotted the address on a note, jogged down to the parking garage and grabbed one of the waiting cars. I keyed in the address and sped out onto the highway in pursuit of it.It led me to a quaint little cottage on the other side of town. I waited in the car, searching for any sign of her. The place looked empty. After all, it was the middle of the day, so she was probably at school, and her parents must be out for the day.I was about to pull away when something caught my eye. It was a dirtbike that was resting along the side of the garage. It caught my eye because it was nearly an exact replica of the one Darius used to have. I got out of the car and decided to inspect it further. I couldn't believe it. The two bikes were virtually identical to each other. Only this one had ribbons of orange and purple on it, and Darius' had green and blue. Since I was already here, I figured that I might as well see if anyone's home. I doubt

...Kenji POV...I felt absolutely horrible for breaking her the way I did right now. But I couldn't understand how she could live without her mate for so long. It was going against our very nature. No one could ever defy the moon goddess. It would only be a matter of time until the person caved. So the fact that she's stayed strong for four years alone is astounding.I pulled her into my arms to comfort her. I know the only person that could ever comfort her right now was the one person she was dead set against ever seeing again. A fact that only made this situation worse. When I had come here, I had come intending to find Darius' true mate and bringing her to him. The last thing I ever expected was to realize that their relationship was doomed before it ever begun."Why do you keep calling me Luna?" She asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.She pulled away from me, wiping her eyes. She sat up in her seat, tentatively waiting for me to respond."You may not be Darius' Luna, but you w
