LincIt hadn’t taken me long to pick up his scent. What was worse is that his scent was already mixed with the smell of death and I was surprised none of the guards had picked up on it.Following the scent, I head deep into the forest. To the place where the trees grow tall and hardly any sunlight breaks through.There Grant was, hanging by his neck from the branch of a tree. His neck was already broken as the noose sat tightly around his throat. His green eyes wide and bloodshot as they bulged from his skull.“Alpha Colt.” I called him through mindlink.“This doesn’t sound good.” He mutters back.“It’s not.”He pauses briefly. “Grant?”“Yes. How did you know?”“Callie broke down in front of Daphne. Is he…?”“Dead.” I mutter, walking around his body.“Are you sure?”I look up at Grant’s hanging body and then down to the cavity in his chest. “They hung him and took his heart.”“What?”I repeat what I had just told him as I start climbing the tree to cut his body down.“Where are you?”

DaphneCallie stares into my eyes exactly the way my sister used to. A hint of amusement hiding behind them. How was it even possible? I always thought that the witch gene had missed my sister. My grandmother never gave me any clue that Sophie was like us.“I am not stupid!” I snap back at her.A laugh escapes Callie. It sounded strange. It was Sophie’s laugh but in Callie’s tone.“You always have been the stupid one. To stupid to see what was right in front of you. Did you really think I was going to let a stupid Lycan kill me? Absolutely no fucking way. Worst of all, this one.” She looks down at herself.“Grant… That was you?”“With the help of this body?”“How? Why? You were mated to him. It doesn’t make any sense. He thought… How could he be mated to Callie if he was mated to you?” “With a little witch’s spell.” She mutters with a smile spreading across her face.Aiden was watching us carefully. His grey eyes shining bright in the darkness. He was linking someone. Sophie had abso

Lilah“She wants my son?” I had been called down to the office by Colt. They wasted no time in telling me what was happening. How long had I been asleep? I didn't think it had been that long.Daphne nods her head at me, “It’s the only thing that makes sense.”“The only thing? How is Sophie even alive? I thought Callie killed her?”“A spell.” Daphne mutters “Callie swears she buried her. She swears that she slit Sophie’s throat.”“So you are both witches?” I splutter. Because she she had been certain that the witch gene had missed her sister.“I’m a true born. Sophie is what grandma called a false witch. A witch that relies on spells and other gimmicks to get what she wants.” She rolls her eyes.“And she wants my son?” It didn’t seem real. I knew Aiden hadn’t been himself when he attacked, but still, why would a witch want him.“Because no one knows what he is capable of.” Colt is staring at me. He had read my mind and if I wasn’t so worried about Aiden, I would be shouting at Colt r

DaphneI felt like an idiot. Or maybe I just was one. Why I thought it would be a sensible thing to go and check out the house that Alpha Knox had been staying in, I will never know. I should have told them where I was going. I should have at least let Linc know.It had to have been a Lycan that grabbed hold of me. The strength matched Linc’s and I couldn’t escape the hold, no matter how much I fought against them.They had held something over my face. The pungent smell had brought tears to my eyes as my insides felt like they had been set on fire.Everything went dark, and it had been dark since. My hands were strapped behind my back. My ankles bound together, so tightly that I was certain it would break through my skin at some point. I had tried moving, only to be met with a slap across the face, but with the eye mask, it made it impossible for me to be able to see who it was. But then, there could only be one person. Sophie.“Why are you doing this?” I call out, not even knowing

Aiden I had no choice but to walk. I couldn’t even bring myself to turn around and look at him. I also knew that mum would probably kill him the moment she realised that I was gone and I had to hope that Auntie Daphne would stop her.The sun was low as the moon tried to take its place. The sky, fighting between night and day.The moment I left the safety of the pack, I could feel sets of eyes on me, watching every step I took. Trees whispered in the wind, like they were talking to one another, passing on messages that I was here. Less than two miles down the road. He steps out, a deep smirk on his haggard face. “Where’s the half-breed?”“I’m here. Isn’t this what you wanted?”Knox smiles at me “The witch?”“I came alone. It’s me you want, isn’t it?” I hold my spot, listening to the sounds of those around me. Maybe a dozen at most.“Alpha Colt wouldn’t just let you go. What is he up to?”“My father knew that this was the only way.”“He is willing to trade you for his Beta?” He half
