ORLATHE DARKE RESIDENCEI didn’t even bother searching for him when I realised he had gone. Only for me to look outside and see him running towards a lone rogue that had a particularly ugly look.He leaped into the air and transformed, bursting into a blur of dark fur, claws and sharp teeth, before landing at the perfect angle to swipe at the rogue just in time. A wild howl followed as the beast stumbled backwards, bleeding from new open cuts on its face.I took it as a cue to step out into the fight as well and hold off until Maverick and the others got here.I rushed put through the front door, directing every soldier and guard I found and telling them to protect the house at all costs. Fighting the rogues head on might have been what Ryker's father truly intended, amd there was no way I would fall for that trick. The least he would expect was for me to go searching for him.But first, I had to secure the main pack house, which was just a stone's throw away from my home. As I ran

ORLAMy life slowly bled out from between my fingers, trailing down my belly and into the rim of my trousers. Its warm stickiness constantly reminded me that I needed to get help soon, or else I risked bleeding out right here.I struggled for air, trying to keep my vision from slipping away from the monsters growling and approaching me with grim looks on their faces. Their teeth are large and so sharp that I was sure that a single bite from them could chop my head clean off.During the fight with the first one that had been trying to kill that girl, I had lost track of my surroundings, letting my guard down and not keeping alert in case someone planned to jump out of the blue and hurt me. In return, I'd barely been able to dodge out of the way before the second rogue, which I hadn't seen initially, jabbed the place where I had been with claws sharper than brand new knives.I'd escaped the full force, but still got deep gashes to my side. By the time I recovered from the shock of the p

ORLATHE DARKE RESIDENCEFingers ran through my hair, lightly teasing my scalp. The contact made me breathe easier, and gave me something to focus my mind on asides the carnage that occurred outside.My home had luckily been well fortified, and my parents were safe, although lives were inevitably lost in trying to protect it. We had returned to find some of the rogues dead, and others, scrambling back into the safety of the woods that they had been lurking. I couldn't call it a victory because we lost too many innocent people. I saw too many mangled bodies and bruised, battered faces to think that we came out on top.In fact, if the other rogues hadn't left, I didn't think we would have stood a chance against the savages.My wounds had been tended to, but it was physical. It would surely heal, but the injuries my mind had sustained this day would never be forgotten. These were my people, and I couldn't save them all. I couldn't protect them from evil. They were cut down like flies a

ORLAAlec and Ella left soon after that, and Maverick's packmates decided that it would be better to give us some 'privacy'. I wasn't sure why we needed privacy, because after everything that had happened, we were too tired and serious minded to think of doing much else apart from staring at the ceiling.When we were finally alone, it then occurred to me that Maverick would have to leave as well, seeing as we didn't exactly live together. Although the look on his face indicated that he was thinking the same thing, and he wasn't exactly happy about it.A particularly chilly wind prompted me to wrap my arms around myself. More of the chill came from the inside of me, from fear and anxiety that creeped up on me with every second that passed. Nowhere was safe for us anymore. We could decide to sleep now and wake up in the middle of an attack. Daniel wasn't going to give up until we put a stop to him, and now that he likely had Ryker back, and the other witch working with him, it meant th

ORLATHE BLACKWOOD MANOREverett's outburst left everyone in complete shock.We stood there for minutes after he'd left, wondering to ourselves what exactly had transpired. Even Makila was stunned, and plopped to the ground with a confused sigh. "What . . .?"The only person that I really worried about was Maverick. Because Everett's outburst was majorly directed at him. I touched his hand, offering him some of my comfort. He twisted his hand around mine and held on for dear life. Through the bond between us—that bright thread of light—I could sense all his emotions. Even the ones that he couldn't reveal. The pain. The guilt. The anger. Everything. It hurt, and I was pained for him as well. It never occurred to me that something that brought me so much joy, could make someone else feel hopelessly abandoned."No," Maverick said. "It's not your fault at all. He's just angry and lashing out at everyone. I'll go and talk to him.""I'm not sure if you noticed, Mave, but he was pretty pi
