. Alex's POVThat night was the best and my relationship with Tessa Improved from there. She still hadn't believed me but for starters, she sent Nate home that following morning.She even told me that he was just her ex and he came with the hopes that they would get back together. Too bad for him because this seven foot gorgeous me happened and he isn't having her. She is mine. She even allowed me to take her for dinner and lunch on several occasions. No one in the pack knows why she hasn't felt our bond and we decided to wait. She will eventually feel it and I'm hoping it happens soon because Ryker keeps bugging me to mark her. I don't know whether the bonding will work without her feeling the link and I don't want to risk it. Today, I am supposed to take Tessa for dinner. Being with her soothes me and calms my soul. She is all I want. I love her. I call her around lunch time and she doesn't pick up. I wanted to check on her as we are doing nowadays every day and it isn't l

. Leo's POVThis is the fourth day and except the car that was found yesterday, no one else has heard anything about my sister. We are all tense and we are all here in our living room because dad said that he has something to tell us. Alex is here and so is Susan, my mate. It feels awkward with the way we almost came to blows but I forgave him. I know that Alex loves Tessa, it's just that her disappearance is taking a toll on him. He's paranoid but I do believe that doesn't give him a reason to be an asshole.Also, as an alpha, he feels useless that he can't find her. I didn't fault him the same way he didn't fault me for disrespecting my alpha. We are all on edge and like for me, I am sure that it's Suzy who's keeping me grounded. Without her here, I am sure I would have lost it. "We are all here?" Dad asks as he walks from the kitchen with a pot of hot cappuccino. It smells so nice. "I will get the cups dad," Suzy says as Alex stands to take the pot from dad and place it on

Alex's POV"Alpha, we are ready when you are," I heard Leo say through our mind link as dad, susan and I entered the main mansion.My dad got up to receive us in the living room and he gave me a warning look. There, seated on the couch was the most handsome creature I had ever seen. The man stood up immediately when he saw us and he was smiling at me. I didn't smile back because I didn't know him. Heck, I have never even seen him. But truthfully speaking, he was handsome. He was talking, I think we stood that the same height, almost shared the same body features and I think he rivalled me in looks. I felt threatened as a man. But he didn't exude any danger. In fact, I didn't feel wary of him. I felt like I wanted to get closer to him and get to know him more. "Alpha Alexander Jason Aldean, my name is Mason Jason Silvano, a vampire. I am the first son of the Silvano vampire clan of Mayne. It is my honour to meet you today," he said and I felt Ryker groan. Oh, we shared the middl

Tessa's POVI felt like I was in one long unending dream. Sometimes I was floating.Sometimes I felt grounded. Sometimes I felt like my head would kill me. Sometimes I felt like there were people around me. Sometimes I felt like my bones were on fire. It was one long dream. Or was it? After what felt like eternity, I woke up. The first thing I noticed was that my whole body was hurting. I tried moving and my body felt like lead. It was heavy. My eyelids felt like they were nailed on the ground. They couldn't open. I stayed still for a long while trying to wrench the pain away and I tried prying my eyelids open slowly by slowly and after a long while, I opened them. It was painful but I forced myself to roll my head and observe my surroundings. I could tell that I was in a small room and it was very dark. What made me see were my wolf powers were but I felt like those were tied from the inside too.I couldn't move my body and after a long while, I tried lifting my hands an

tessa's POVHere I am in a witches' lair listening to a story But this story made me forget my woes for a while and I forgot whether I was kidnapped. Listening to this woman was better than lying here all alone wondering why I was kidnapped and dealing with endless pain. "Oh, you are so naive," she said, again, shaking her head with an indulgent smile. I guess she thought that she was dealing with a fool. "Yes. You see, when a witch is born in our coven, a candle is lit by her mother and placed in the great hall. It is a special kind of candle made by the witch elders. The light stays on as long as the person is alive. It changes colour depending on the situation the person is in. For example, when one is sick, it turns dark, when one is in danger, it turns red, when one dies, it goes off," she explained and I thought that that was genius. Wow! "So, when her light went off a few days after the war ended, there were only two possibilities: one, she had died or two, she had tu
