Sonaya's pov ... It's been three days since my hellish episode with Alpha Morgan. I work till dusk everyday and purposely go in late for dinner, I don't like an audience when I eat. Mama and I always ate together no noise, no fuss. It used to be just the two of us, now it's just me. "Liar, there's two of us now or did you forget." My Lycan accused And I chuckled. Ofcourse I forgot about Rayna. "Heyyy, I'm part of you and I can hear your thoughts, in fact I help construct them." She protested "Sorry." I mumbled an apology to her. Mel and her minions have been a constant torn in my daily routine. The job is stressful enough as it is. But it's almost nothing to the others, I guess. I have been feeling off for a few days now, been sluggish and weak. I've been at odds with the boost of energy and supernatural strength I received when I got my powers and my Lycan. But today has been the worst, I have been so sluggish today that my work has suffered. Asaf offered to help me,

Sonaya's pov ...."It's not nothing." he growled angrily."Rayna I know it's not fair what's going on but I am fighting him day and night, pushing him to do right to make the right choice.It's not easy for him as well..." "Don't you ever say that again." I cut him off."Do you have any idea the amount of pain I go through when he fucks another woman? Do you both feel that I’m in pain at all?Last night was so painful I was throwing up blood, while you were in ecstasy.So do not ever mention that again.You know nothing about what it feels like." I stated angrily.Rayna and I were screaming at him in our mindlink, our rage was beyond anything I had ever felt."Do you know how it feels to watch from the sidelines as your mate parades another as his?Do you know?But do not worry, I will try my best to get you acquainted.”"Is that a threat?" He bellowed at me."No Lygion, it's not a threat it's a promise.I wish I can reject him too, so I don't have to suffer so much

Stefan's pov ...I fought him hard, I fought Lygion for control, but he wouldn't relinquish it.He pushed me down so hard, I couldn't believe it.It only then dawned on me that he has been uncharacteristically angered by my treatment of our mate.I angrily watched from the back of my mind as he interacted with our mate.Behaving like a puppy, our mate doesn't need to be handled with care.She is one of the two most dangerous beings in the kingdom right now.It's a daily struggle to keep my knowledge of a Lockhart alive and even staying in the palace at that.It’s freaking difficult especially when it's your mate and you can see her clearly.Believe it or not I get daily reports on her activities, I might behave like I don't care, I really don't care, but no one let's their enemy into their house without watching them closely.Although it feels odd calling her the enemy.I stared at her through Lygions eyes and sighed.I have always thought Brie was easy on the eyes, you know,

Stefan's pov .... "Have you spoken to Eli, about it?" I asked him. “No not yet, I need to know there is a problem before I go bothering the old man." He said and paused before speaking again. "Besides like I said, it didn't feel like there was interference at the time. The block was only perceived, I am not even sure it's there." He finished. I slipped into his mind while he was distracted, lamenting over his mate situation. I wanted to see for myself, what happened. Ofcourse I had my own suspicions but i refrained from voicing them out until I could see exactly what happened through his eyes. I would be seeing exactly what he saw and what he'd missed. I watched the scene with Morgan and saw the girl come take Sonaya away. She had noticed Nathan but nothing more. I dug deeper and felt what Nathan felt. I had enough and exited his mind. I went through the scene over and over again, but I couldn't get past the fact that the only person who can do it, who might have the power

Zaya's pov ...Yesterday I had been feeling sick and out of sorts. Something in my wrists was killing me.At first I'd thought I had sprained it.But by the time I went to bed early from the pain, I noticed that the inside of my left wrist was swollen and discolored.It had an unusual purple hue to it.It made me feel weak and brought on a heavy pounding headache.Xena, my hybrid Lycan was almost cut off from me, our bond was so weak from whatever it was that was going on with my wrist.I went to bed hoping the next day would be better and my wrist would have healed.It did cross my mind that I might have been poisoned, but to be honest I didn't know what to think.I have no experience with poison, I have never even seen anyone that had been poisoned before. So I tried to ignore the pain and get some sleep.But a few hours later, I woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat.The swelling was gone, but the pain was still there. I stared at the inside of my wrist, at
