Teegan's P.O.V. We all keep looking at the vehicle following us, and then I get an idea. I don't want any distractions while we're trying to help others, and these people are an annoyance. "Let's pull over and get gas," I tell the others. Joel looks at me, confused. "Why? We have more than half a tank." He says. "I'm tired of them following us, waiting for them to do something," I explain. "What do you have in mind?" Joel questions me. I smile and lean back in my seat. "Let's go to the gas station and get gas. Once we see where they park, we get off the bus, and only one person continues driving. The rest of us will hide and shift into our wolves. I'm sure they want to cause an accident, so whoever remains on the bus needs to be able to jump out before it's too late. I know it's risky, but while they're celebrating, we come up behind them. What do you think?" I look around at the others, and they're all smiling. "No one needs to drive the bus. I can make it go so they think

Scott's P.O.V. I feel sick as I lay in the bed in my hotel room. I'm glad that we killed everyone from the Blood Fangs, but I don't enjoy torturing people. I could tell the others weren't into it either. However, some of my distress leaves me when I think about everything they did and how many pups they hurt or sold. I can't wait to see my parents at Silver Moon, but I needed time to get my head around everything. I also wanted to help reconnect people with their families like this group has done for me. I had always thought my birth parents didn't want me and sold me to the Blood Fangs. Now I know that's not true. The pack that Blake sold me to tortured me every day. I was lucky that I was still alive when Grant and Holly came to the pack because many other pups had already been killed. They were a sadistic pack that got off on inflicting as much pain as possible on the young. It messed me up for a while, but staying at the group home really helped. I was almo

Teegan's P.O.V. I can't stop smiling as I look at Scott and Brooke. From the way they reacted to each other when they first met, I know they truly need each other. She goes to pack her things, and Scott doesn't try to follow, but she pulls him with her. I know what we did to the Blood Fangs got to Scott, and I can feel how distressed he is by it. None of us were happy to do what we did. However, knowing what they had done to countless cubs helped us push away our reservations. In the files we had sent to the palace, they found countless pictures of the sadistic things they did, not only to pups but to adults, too. They were sick, and it made me want to bring them alive just to kill them again. We were able to find two more people who were taken from Silver Moon as pups and were still in this pack. They have decided to go to Silver Moon, so Logan is arranging for them to fly on a private plane. They're both in their early twenties now. When

Joel's P.O.V. I see Teegan and Petra coming down the stairs and feel relieved. I don't like being away from her, even for a few minutes. However, my relief is short-lived. Just as they reach the last step, I feel like I can't breathe. Everyone starts coughing. Anton and I try to run for our mates, but my legs feel like they're made of lead. "Teegan!" I yell. I watch in horror as she falls to the ground. What's going on? When I see Petra fall next to her, I know she won't be able to stop whatever this is. There's no smoke, and I can't smell anything, but something is definitely affecting all of us. "Nooooo!" I try to scream when I see a dark figure lifting them up as if they weigh nothing. The figure turns toward me, and I freeze. The face is distorted, so I can't determine if it's male or female. "Don't worry, prince. I'll take care of your princess until I kill her." I fall to the ground, and blackness takes over as the thing disappears with them. I hear people talking, a

Teegan's P.O.V. I feel numb. I'm still trying to wrap my head around being taken by a demon, terrorized by a giant spider, and saved by a prince from the underworld. It feels like I'm watching myself in a horror movie, but it's not a movie; it's real life. Petra was incredible. I was so busy watching the spider that I didn't realize she had her magic back. My thoughts were on Joel and never seeing him again. They were also on the spider that I was sure was going to eat me or scare me to death. Not Petra, though. She was busy getting us free and summoning Paimon. When our hands touched, I felt powerful. It was an amazing feeling and gave me a glimpse of what Petra must feel all the time. Paimon was a creepy guy. I could never really see his face. No matter which way he turned, he was always in the shadows. I was glad for his help, but a part of me worried he would try to take us with him. We're getting ready to leave the pack now. A lab t
