I stare at her stunned.Samantha’s laugh is dark, “I don’t know what her whole plan was but it never came to fruition. My father and brother woke up. They tried to save me and were killed in the struggle. The house caught fire in the meantime and, well,” She glances at me. “There’s no end to evil in a person’s soul, not when it wants to getting something they want.”“I’m sorry,” I murmur, hearing the sliver of pain in her voice at the mention of her family.“Yes, well,” She smiles, tightly. “It is what it is. If you think it gets better, it doesn't. While I was grieving, Livie spread a rumor that I had been trying to escape with my lover and my father and brother caught him and he killed them. The townspeople just needed a reason to gossip and they ate up her stories.”My heart aches for her as I see her tearing apart the bun into smaller pieces, her hands tight, her expression rigid with an agony only she can understand.“Anthony was forced to call off the engagement be

“Sarah, stop!” It’s only when Lucas grabs me that I realise that I was running in the direction of the mansion.My whole body is cold and something within me is screaming to get to -“Have you lost your mind?!” Lucas snarls but I hear a real hint of fear under it. “You just heard-““I did!” He snaps. “I did. But we don’t know who that was! The whole place is lit up! And there are guards crawling all over!”His words finally break through this weird trance in my head and I finally stop struggling in his hold.What was I planning to do?Lucas’s voice is wary when I go limp, “Are you-“He doesn’t get to complete the sentence because I’m suddenly coughing, that familiar shooting pain inside my chest. My knees crumple but Lucas is holding me.I push him away as I feel the blood rise into my throat.The ground is stained with dark blood as are my hands.I sink to the ground, shaking, feeling weak.“Blood,” Lucas looks shocked and I groan, feeling the

I give him an incredulous look.“You're going to protect the woman who wants to kill our child?”He’s silent and his voice is cold, cold in a way I’ve never heard before, “You’re creating a scene.”I want to both laugh and cry at the same time. The person I'm looking at doesn't seem to be my mate. He has Lucas's face but I can't see the man I love within him. It's like looking at a stranger wearing Lucas’s face.I take a step back, shaking my head, “Whatever.”I turn towards Wyatt, “Help her.”I look at the barely conscious Samantha who has managed to pull herself onto the bench. Wyatt hesitates and then quickly says, “Make sure nobody can see.”He’s talking about any passerby.I stand in front of him and watch him use his healing magic to help Samantha.“Don't make it too obvious,” I murmur. “Any dangerous injuries. Just heal those.”He nods, his healing magic working quickly, his hands running over Samantha’s body.I look over my shoulder at where Luc

I whirl around to see a large group of masked men, running towards me.Two of them are holding bows and standing at the back of the group while the rest hole dangerous looking weapons. Their movements are fast and coordinated. I try to dodge their attacks as they move in silence, the only sound, the sound of the daggers and swords moving in the air.One of them ends at my heart and I quickly lift my hand, the dagger going straight through my palm. My scream is silent and as I try to push him back, one of the archers shoots at me and this time I am unable to avoid it.The arrow pierces right above my heart and I let out an agonised scream within my bond, for Lucas. Any other time, a cry for help like this would have garnered a fierce response. But this time, there’s nothing.Even if he's blocked his bond, he can still feel me. I know he can. It's something we've tried and tested. And as I keep fending for myself, trying to protect my unborn child, something inside me

“Now that everyone is here,” I begin, my voice hoarse. “Let’s get to-““Wait,” Carmine says.When all eyes turn towards her, she pouts, “You didn’t answer my question.”I don't have to look at everyone to see the anger in their eyes. Even the people who are not from my pack have looks of disgust on their faces.I don't smile or get angry. Instead, I study her, "What are you doing here? I should ask that question. You are not allowed to be here.”“Don't be ridiculous, Sarah,” Lucas frowns. “We are here to -““I don't believe I was talking to you,” I meet his eyes. “Did I say so otherwise, she is going to jeopardize this mission and she's not allowed to be in the room. In fact, neither are you.”Lucas’s face darkens, “Hold up-““As of this moment, you have become a liability, Lucas,” I say, coldly. “I'm speaking as your Alpha, in case there are any misunderstandings. If you are warming her bed, then you cannot be trusted. Carmine has proven herself to deliberately
