Chapter 22Davina“What took you so long? You have gotten slower. Maybe it’s all that Luna special treatment you are getting nowadays,” Evans teased, crossing his hands on his chest as he stood at the entrance of the cave. I rolled my eyes. “I came here as soon as I can, and…” I dashed toward him and picked out a strand of his curly blonde hair and zoomed back to where I stood, holding up the strand between my thumb and index, and wearing a smug expression. “As slow as you think I am now, you will still never be able to catch me.”“What the hell was that?” Evans’s eyes bulged out and he took a few staggered steps backward, pointing a finger at me.“What is what?”“How did you d-do that?” he stuttered with a hollow voice from his sudden breathlessness. “You were there and then you weren’t, and then you reappeared just now.”“What do you mean? Have your senses dulled? When last did you wolf out under the moon? Are you alright?” I blurted, worried he might not be healthy. The Evans I kno

Chapter 24DavinaI wiped my hands on my face as I was feeling quite tensed and sweaty. My hands on my face did nothing to ease the droplets running down my face so I rubbed them on my forehead again. As I dropped my hands, I caught a glimpse of blood smeared on my palm and it set my heart pounding faster than I think it has ever beaten.What’s this?I glanced down at myself and saw that I was covered in blood like I had a blood bath and I stepped back, falling to my knees as I splayed my hands in front of me.“This is not how I remembered it,” I cried to Evans. “You know me. I wouldn’t…” I looked over at the girl and tears rolled down my eyes. The gory sight terrified me. I have seen worse because I hunt, but she was just a little girl, and didn’t know if I killed her myself. It seemed so. There was no other explanation.“I’m I dreaming? I better be dreaming. I don’t know what is real right now. I helped her. He,” I pointed at the wolf taking its last breaths. “…and some other wolf we

Chapter 26Davina“Where am I? Evans!” I yelled looking around me without recognizing where I was—everything was blurry. “Evans, where are you?”“Calm down, Veena. You should stay down,” I Evans say and I relax a bit. “Stay.”“I can’t see anything now,” I blinked numerous in an attempt to clear my vision, but nothing happen. “What is happening to me?” Panicking, I managed to hurl myself up. I threw my leg forward, but something pulls me back I feel a sting of pain on my ankle and I immediately bent down to feel my leg. My hands clashed with as shackled which drove a familiar discomfort waging through my body.You didn’t dare!“You chained me up?” I yell.“I had to,” Evans said and I follow the direction of his voice with my head. “I freaked and it is the only way to keep you from going anywhere or doing any other weird stuff. I don’t know for sure what is happening to you so this is the best bet. You should sit down and try to calm down.”“Calm down? Are you serious? This of all things

Chapter 28Jason The girl just won't die! Davina, my ticket to the top. She's proving difficult, but nothing can stand in my way. There are many ways to do one thing. How could she make it through the distance through the woods, bleeding from an excruciating alpha-inflicted wound that should have killed her or at least knocked her out and almost dead? It was a perfect plan. We should have gone to meet Tobi that night on the outskirts of the town and then spend the night in a hotel until the next day, but I texted Tobi to cancel right after Kayla messaged me that Davina was snooping in Keith's room. I knew the girl would do anything for her brother whom I have in custody as leverage to make her do my bidding–he is poisoned with a particular kind of poison that only I can brew an antidote for. We were only a few miles away from the mansion when Tobi buzzed Keith and told him to cancel as some people have known about the meeting and it was too dangerous, and we would meet in the woods

Chapter 30 Jason I will kill Tobi if anything goes wrong with my plan. What the hell do I do now?As we drove towards the designated meeting point, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. The anticipation of finally getting my hands on the amulet was almost too much to bear. But as we got closer, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.Why would Tobi pull something like this on me out of nowhere?"Hey Keith," I said, turning to the alpha sitting next to me. "Don't you think it's strange that Tobi wants to meet us there, out in the middle of nowhere?"Keith merely grunted in response, his focus solely on the road ahead. I knew that he was anxious to get his hands on the amulet too. He had made no secret of the fact that he wanted to use it to find out who had poisoned his father.But I had other plans for the amulet. plans that involved using it to extract memories from a certain someone who had been eluding me for years.I couldn't help but steal a glance at Keith a
