JAVIER“You’re early.”I shifted into my human form as I stared at Leonard who was smirking and standing in front of his gate. “Why did you kill that girl?” I asked, a frown on my face. Leonard shrugged, “It’s fun.”My face hardened but I managed to restrain myself from snapping him into two. He was a sick psycho, how could he just decide killing someone was fun?“I have come to warn you to stay away from Mia,” I stated.Leonard laughed, “How pathetic are you? Do you think you'll walk out the same way by coming here?”I shrugged, “You don't want to test me, Leo. Stay away from my mate.”“Your mate is going to come crawling to me herself so you can stop trying to save her,” he sneered. I sighed, “What's your deal, Leo? I thought Bastien already straightened you out.”An angry look flashed across Leo’s face but then it disappeared immediately. “Bastien has nothing on me. Now, why don’t you come inside, let's wait for your mate,” Leo smiled. The urge to resist and smash his face in

MIA“This is all your fault!” I stared at Leonard as he lunged toward me and I managed to move away from the way before his claws slashed my arm. “Ouch!” I exclaimed, holding my injured arm. “This wouldn't have happened if you had just come quietly!” he snapped, lunging at me again. “What is going on and why did I trace Javier to this place? He's not supposed to be here,” I asked, stepping out of the way again. “I don't think now is the time to fight, Leo, especially when Javier has little time left,” the doctor said. I frowned, “Little time? What does that mean?” Leo snarled at me, “Javier is dying.”“Dying? What do you mean by that? What did you do to him?” I yelled. I shifted into my wolf and lunged at Leo immediately. He could barely dodge my attack as I clawed at his shoulders. “Again this isn't the time to fight!” the doctor snapped. Scowling I shifted back to my human form as Leo glared at me. “Little slave has got some claws,” he mocked. “Come closer and I'll show

MIA“It's not happening!” I snapped at Leo. Leo sighed, running a hand through his hair, “Please, Mia, I could die if you don't do this.”I scoffed, “Why would you tell me that? Does it look like I care? If you die the world will be a better place.”“If I die the master will send a more villainous person than me and then you'd wish you had kept me,” Leo said.Javier stared at us, a confused look on his face, “The master? What master are you talking about, Leo? And what is this ‘it’s time’ you're saying?”Leo sighed as he stared at me and shook his head, “He's going to try and stop you.”“Damn right, I am,” Javier stated. “Mia think this thorough. Wouldn't it be better if I'm the anchor? At least you know I'd never do anything to hurt you or Javier,” Leo said. I nodded, he was right. He would never do anything to harm Javier and if he was going to harm me he would have done that but if he's replaced the new person can easily hurt Javier and everyone I care about within the blink of

MIAI stared at the sunken face and hollow eyes that were staring at me and I felt goosebumps crawling up my skin. “Who the hell are you?!” I blurted out, trying to hide the fear that was evident in my voice. “I'm your destiny and doom, Mia, pick your poison,” he answered in an eerie voice. It was a bit dark in this part of the woods and I couldn't see the man properly but I could have sworn that his face was an empty skeleton. I stared at Leo, but he was looking away clearly frightened. Could this be the master he told me about?“I don't like to be kept waiting, Mia,” his eerie voice sounded again, causing another wave of goosebumps. “What?” I was confused. Olivia’s evil laugh reached my ear as she walked up to me. “Did you come here willingly or were you forced, that's what he means,” she explained. I frowned, staring at her suspiciously. Even though she had just laughed at me she still explained what he meant. Could she be correct?By the way, the man stared at me expectant

MIA“Dad, are you gonna say something?” This was the fourth time Ivan was asking Bastien this question and yet he remained in a daze, not saying a word and staring into space. “Damn it, Bastien, get yourself together and tell us what we’re dealing with!” Javier snapped at him.I stared at Javier and felt terrible for Bastien. Now I understood why he was an unhappy man. His mate had cheated on him with his brother and brought a child into this world. Bastien was caring for that child and yet the child seemed to always find ways to fault him and hate him for things that weren't his fault. But at the same time I knew it wouldn't be any easier on Javier realizing that Leo who was the father of all things evil was his father. After how many years and no one told him. I stared at Ivan wondering why they didn't want to tell him. Even his own father Leo is worried about Javier getting the news. “Take it easy, Javier, he's still processing,” Ivan intervened. Javier frowned, “When did yo
