ElsaEverything inside of me is tying itself up in knots. Kyra had found me. Just like in my dream. She presses the gun hard against my temple. I could feel the burn against my skin until she pulls it away and points it at him.Nate shouldn’t be here. In all my nightmares, he never makes it out without dying. I felt sick as I stared at him.The gun hits my temple again. I growl as it connects with my skin. Kyra doesn’t seem to notice and is busy making demands to Nate.How could he be so powerful and yet so weak in front of a human?Kyra’s lips are close to my ear. “What do you think? Kill him first so you can watch your little boyfriend die?”I keep my mouth shut as the headache kicks in. It seems that becoming a wolf doesn’t take away the headaches.Nate's eyes are still locked on mine. My heart was thudding in my chest. I knew he could feel it. It’s why he hadn’t removed his stare.“Let her go, Kyra.” His voice is low. I see how his nostrils twitch.“Now why would I do that?” Her

NateLeading Mason to the exact spot. I’m shocked to find that he is actually right. Kyra’s body was gone. But not just her body. The blood had vanished too. Like it had never happened.“This isn’t possible.”We have searched the entire forest. No one has found anything out of place.” Mason mutters. “I don’t mean to make you sound like a twat, but are you sure she died?”“I watched Elsa’s wolf rip out Kyra’s throat with own eyes. Her body should be here. The blood should be here.”“And you think she just got up and walked away?” I hear the sarcasm in his voice.“Obviously not.” I sniff the air, but there were no strange scents. Not even a hint of anything different.How could she have just disappeared? “Maybe she has something to do with it!” He mutters quietly.“Who?” He doesn’t meet my gaze. “You seriously think Elsa had something to do with this? Are you mad?”“I’m just saying, we were fine until you marked her. I know she is your mate and my Luna. But even you have to agree that

NateShe quickly goes very white. Her baby blues are wide as she takes in my words. I felt horrible for telling her, but she had to know. This was about her and I couldn’t risk anyone else finding out.She slowly sits on the edge of the bed. “You should have let Kyra kill me.”“You are my mate. That would never happen.”“You’re putting everyone here at risk. What if they come for me?”“They won’t.”“You don’t know that. It’s like I am bad luck. Everything finds a way of getting to me. You can’t do that to everyone.”“We’re not telling them. Vella and Corina will keep their mouths shut. Corina wouldn’t want anyone to know anyway. Mason won’t breathe a word and Lola won’t. She will be made to obey an order.”“Obey?”“She physically won’t be able to tell anyone without causing immense pain to herself. This will remain a secret. As far as anyone is concerned. You are just a wolf that happens to be mated to an Alpha.”She nods her head at me.“Do you know where Lola is?”“She was downstair

NateShe isn’t laughing with me. Her baby blues are wide. Her body was almost frozen in time. Catching the scent of her blood, I frown.“What’s wrong?”“Something is in my back. I can’t move Nate.” She whispersCarefully lifting her up, I spot the blade that lives in my desk drawer. It sits deep in her lower back, right next to her spine.“What is it?” She whispers.“A blade.”“Silver?” Her panic grows.“No. I’m going to roll you onto your front and remove it.”“Okay.” she barely makes a sound as I turn her over onto her stomach. Her blood leaves small tracks over her skin. She whimpers as I wrap my hand around the hilt.“Try to hold still.” It was probably going to hurt more coming out than going in.She lets out a cry as I tug it out. Her nails dig into me, piercing my skin. Grabbing my discarded shirt. I pressed it against the wound, hoping that she would heal quickly, just like how her ribs healed.A few minutes pass and she sits up groaning. Looking at the broken desk, she sighs

NateShe mumbles the words with her eyes closed. I almost found it funny how she thought I would believe that she was asleep. Her heart rate was slower when she was properly asleep. Nothing like it was now, where it was practically humming.“Yes.”It takes her a moment and just as we enter the packhouse, she opens her eyes.“You can put me down.”“I don’t want to.” I wanted to hold on to her for as long as I could“Why are you doing this?”“If we don’t attack, it will be the biggest mistake Lycans have ever made.”“Why now?”“I’m doing this for you.”“For me?” Her baby blues flash up to me. “Why me?”"So that we will never be ripped apart." I groan, because she didn't know what she would experience if I died.“Elsa, they will keep coming. The problem is, they think we won’t fight back. They think we will stay here, hiding out, waiting for them. They believe that they have made us like this.”“That doesn’t explain why you are doing it for me!” she forces herself out of my arms. Her arm
