Skye's POV"Mmm-mmm..." I groaned, feeling soreness enveloping my whole body. I slowly opened my eyes, and I adjusted to the light. My vision a little foggy.I tried to move around but found my wrist chained to the wall. I was rattled by the realization and groaned from pain.I looked to my side to see Nathan and Keira also chained up in the wall."Guys..." I whispered, my voice a little sore. I tried a few more times since they weren't budging and finally after the fifth time, Nathan slowly fluttered his eyes open. "Fuck...what happened." He cursed, and when he also realized where we are. He started thrashing around. The metal chains ringed causing a lot of irritating sound. "Fuck this! Let us go you cowards!" He yelled and I couldn't do anything to stop him. "Nathan. Nathan..." I called him a few time and his voice receded, and he looked at me, fury circled in his bright orbs."Calm down, don't make another sound. I'll think of a way to get us out of here." I said, but it was al

Skye's POVWe settled inside my bedroom so we could talk more privately.Freya was still fuming hearing what Alec said, and I was also shocked he said that, although in truth, I was the one who really marked him. But Alec doesn't know that yet, I bet he thinks it's just some weird rune or something."Skye, our family is in chaos after you left. I know you said that you'd come see your mate but I didn't think that you would leave for this long. I thought it would just be a couple of days, and it's more than a month! What were you thinking." Freya continued, facing me with a pissed look. "Don't yell at her." Alec warned, abut Freya being Freya, as usual nothing could easily calm her down."Quiet! I'm not talking to you." She barked, flipping her hair at him."Where's Sian? How in the world did he let you leave by yourself." I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. Sian was her possessive mate, that guy would do anything to make her stuck by his side all day. So I'm sure something happened be

Skye's POV"So you're really a phoenix, and...not a witch?" Alec asked me, tilting his head to the side like a curious child. But not innocent looking though since he's roughly big, and well... children have soft features. But it doesn't matter, I consider him as my big baby anyway."Yeah." I curtly answered, and he looked me up and down, still shrouded with disbelief."But... aren't phoenix immortals? And you don't age, so..." He paused for a while, and I think I know where he's getting at. "How old exactly are you?" I sighed hearing exactly the question I was expecting from him.I stayed quiet for a few second before answering him, "I'm 358 years old." I said, and his mouth parted widely, his eyes became void of any hint of visible emotions in them. As if he fell into an abyss. Well, actually I'm describing him a little bit dramatically, but his face was really no good when he heard my actual age."So...umm..." He stuttered, looking at me, "You're really old huh?" He said, and my mou

Skye's POV"What's happening Alec where are you going?" I scrambled getting out of the pack house as everyone were walking everywhere in chaos."An informer told us that Erin is alive and is being held hostage. We're gonna dispatch some warriors in the enemies area to see if it's true." He said, walking past me as he commanded the warriors to get ready."Alec, Nathan isn't in his room. I'm afraid that he went there first to save her." I said, and he cursed in the air."That stupid moron." He rubbed his temples, "I'll go with them. And I'll make sure to bring both of them back here safe and sound." He said, and quickly took off with the rest of the warriors. Not even bothering to bid me goodbye.I know why he was absorbed about this. One because Nathan and Erin was involved, but I'm sure he was mostly pressured because he knew Erin is pregnant, and it was his child, or at least that's what he knows."Are they gonna be okay?" Keira asked, as we both watched them go into the forest, morp

Skye's POVI woke up to the unbearable noise I was hearing. There were growls, and I could feel the cold surface as it touched my exposed skin.I struggled to open my eyes, my vision was blurry, all I saw were people fighting not far away from me."Alec..." I called out his name as I saw a figure that greatly resembled him.Soon enough, only one remained standing and the guy with the same physique as Alec walked to me in a hurry, but when he got closer, his face also got clearer."Skye, can you get up?" Nathan helped me up, I looked at him confused why he was here, and when my vision got better, I was bewildered as to how I ended up in the forest again."Alec! Where is Alec?!" I questioned, grabbing hus arms, but he just returned it with a sad look, which he quickly replaced with gruff, trying to appear strong."Alec is inside fighting them off. We have to hurry Skye. We don't have enough time." He said."Hmm-ummm..." I heard someone groaning behind me. I looked to my side and didn't
