Two hours earlier… ‘Jayden!’The sound of Aiden's voice sent the former witch into a mild panic, as her body tensed, and her heart began hammering in the confines of her chest. Without so much as a backward glance, she increased the length of her sides, her face contorted in a stiff but alarmed facade. In her attempt to make an escape she ducked behind the first building she saw, feigning deafness as the werewolf continued to call out for her, but she was only human after all, and thus easily caught. Before she could feel the relief of freedom she felt a large, rough hand clamp around her upper arm, pulling her to an abrupt stop with such force she lost her balance and all the books she had been carrying tumbled to the floor with an audible thud, and sending her heart slipping into the pit of her stomach along with them, as her escape was effectively thwarted. ‘I know you heard me, I can hear your heart racing,’ Damn werewolf hearing! She cursed, there was never a moment she could

‘Vampires!’ Bile rose in the back of her throat, which she quickly forced back down with a forceful swallow. Her hands trembled with anxiety as her heart raced within the confines of her chest. A red flush spread from her cheeks to her neck as her blue eyes darted back and forth, her mind racing with the crushing weight of her thoughts. No, no, no it couldn't be happening, not again, she thought, desperately trying to keep her emotions to herself, and knowing she had failed when she sensed Aiden’s concern brush across the non-existent barrier, she had failed to erect between them and their soul bond. Why? Why was it happening again? Why now?The questions rattled in her brain, and she tried to keep her composure, now was not the time to lose her shit, she reminded herself. She wasn’t that weak, defenseless human anymore. She was a strong and powerful werewolf, SHE was an Alpha, and she’d be damned if she let her fear rule her actions any longer. ‘Let’s go,’ she ordered, standing up

The stiff ambiance of the room was all but suffocating to the seven occupants, the tension so thick it could have been sliced in half with a sharp enough blade. Seven pairs of eyes glanced at one another, each one weighed down heavily by worry and something far more sinister, a sense of dread that left nothing but dry mouths unable to speak. To think this is where they found themselves when six months ago the world had been a much smaller place, there were far fewer worries to weigh down on the heart of the young, new Alpha. For whom would have ever thought a mere nineteen-year-old would have to worry about the livelihood and safety of an entire supernaturally gifted village that housed the pack she had inherited from her late father? A responsibility she had been wholly unprepared to shoulder on her own was now thrust at her with no word of warning or care that she had no idea what she was doing. She looked around the room at her companions, each one burdened by their own fears and

With a thunderous crash, Alexa found herself lying flat on her back, her lungs screaming in agony as the air left them like an escaped convict, both suddenly and silently. In comparison, the skin of her back throbbed almost loudly, stinging from the impact of her full body weight slamming against the barely padded flooring they had the audacity to call a sparring mat. Stars burst from behind eyelids she'd had no memory of closing, and she fought behind sharp, painful gasps in a desperate attempt to refill her lungs with much-needed oxygen. Her head still spinning from the way her opponent had unceremoniously flipped her feet over her head, leaving her sprawled across the floor like a corpse barely clinging to life, a look of utter bewilderment frozen on her face, and don’t even get her started on the state of her hair. ‘Again,’ came the authoritative command, and Alexa merely groaned, fingers clenching against the mat. The sound came out as more of a pathetic whine than the guttural

‘Alexa, please!’ Aiden called out, a new tentative tone filtered into his voice adding to the pleading and concern that had already been there as he followed her but this time he did not reach out to stop her, instead he followed at what he deemed a safe distance like he was tracking a predator, and in a way he supposed he was for she on the hunt.Alexa ignored him, her mind focused now on only one thing: to find and confront Jayden regarding her behavior the past six months. And she wasn't going to stop until she got herself some answers.Alexa tracked Griffon by his scent, allowing her wolf instincts to take over her more rational human mind, which was all too happy to step aside for the wolf. She knew he'd lead her straight to Jayden, under the impression Aiden would have been able to stop her or talk some sense into her, and for that, he would have been wrong.She found them near the building her mother used for her witchy business and school to teach Isaac and Jayden about witchc
