"Wait a moment. She is in grave danger." Gabriel's voice suddenly echoed around Sienna and Jason. They both turned to see Gabriel hobbling after them. "What is he doing?" Sienna mumbled to Jason, feeling vulnerable as she stood behind him. "I will not hurt you, but I feel the girl, Eva. She is in danger. She needs to be found and repurchased." He said. "I don't care what your Alpha may have done to her pack, but this girl is not to be harmed. Especially the children." Gabriel clarified his feelings by pointing a finger towards Jason and Sienna. "She left this necklace behind." He Sienna and Jason exchanged worried glances as Gabriel caught up to them. Gabriel hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I don't know who is after her, but I feel it's someone powerful. She was running for a reason, and I believe she knew something that could put her in harm's way." He said. "I have a friend, Clara. She is a witch, and I believe she can help bring Eva and the children back." He

Eva's heart pounded as she listened to the woman's words. Fear and confusion swirled inside her. How could these people know so much about her? What did they want? "Who are you, and what do you want from me?" Eva demanded to know. The woman smiled sinisterly, relishing in Eva's panic. "You are special, Eva. And we need you to fulfil your destiny." Eva's mind raced, trying to make sense of it all. "I don't understand. What destiny? I want to find my family and go back to my normal life. Just go away." The woman's smirk widened. "Oh, but your normal life is long gone, Eva. You were chosen for something greater. Something that will change the world as we know it." Eva's eyes widened in disbelief. This had to be some sick and twisted joke. She couldn't possibly have any connection to world-altering events. "I don't believe you. Let me go!" Eva struggled against her captors, desperate to escape the clutches of this madwoman. The woman's expression turned dark, and their s

After a few moments, Clara's eyes fluttered open, her gaze fixed on Alpha Duane. "I have a sense of where Eva might be," she stated with certainty. “Go ahead.” The Alpha was listening. She cleared her throat before continuing. All eyes were on her. "There's a hidden facility near the hospital. It seems to be where she was taken." Alpha Duane's eyes narrowed, and he slammed his fist into his desk, causing Sienna to jump in fright. Jason held her to his chest to calm her down, and she smiled at him gratefully but remained silent. “We'll go there immediately," Alpha Duane declared, turning to address Jason. "Get your gear ready. We have a rescue mission to undertake." “Wait. Let me go in there and fetch her, Alpha Duane. I can handle it. If you're warriors go in, it could make things worse. Plus, she knows me better than any of you.” Gabriel suddenly spoke up, and Alpha Duane raised his eyebrows, thinking for a moment. “Bring her to me safely, or you will suffer the consequences

Sebastian's consciousness slowly emerged from the depths of darkness, his mind grappling with confusion as his senses slowly awakened. As his eyes fluttered open, he was met with a chilling scene. His surroundings offered no comfort or familiarity, for he found himself in a cold, windowless room. The air was stale as if time had stood still within the confines of those four walls. A dim light from above cast eerie shadows across the room, barely illuminating the corners. Sebastian's heart quickened. Panic gushed through him, only to escalate when he tried to move and discovered chains tightly binding his hands and feet to the unforgiving walls. The cold metal bit his skin, leaving a lingering sense of vulnerability. He wondered how he had got there; how had this happened? How long had he been locked up in this awful room? Sebastian's memory failed him, like shattered fragments of a forgotten past slipping through his fingers. How had he ended up in this desolate place? Frustrat

Amelia smiled warmly at his question. "We start by finding your child and keeping them safe. We gather our allies and prepare for the fight against the Shadowscale. But first, we must get you to safety and work on unlocking your true potential as a guardian." Sebastian and Amelia left the building and went to a nearby car. Along the way, they kept their eyes peeled for signs of followers or danger. Once inside the car, Amelia turned to Sebastian with a severe expression. "There's something I need to tell you," she said, her voice low. "What is it?" Sebastian asked with concern. "Your child is not just any child," Amelia explained. "They are the key to unlocking the power of the guardians. Without them, we might never be able to face the Shadowscale." Sebastian's heart raced with panic. He thought of the dangers ahead and the weight of responsibility he bore. But before he could ask any questions, a group of black SUVs surrounded them, blocking their path. "Sebastian, we
