ODETTEThe sight of Devyn roaring at his mate, which was unfortunately me, made Axel fucking flip. Liev looked like he’d join the attack for a moment before taking a deep breath, which was all he apparently needed to calm himself down.I hated that he could be so cool and collected sometimes, even if everyone in the territories, especially me, needed his cool head to knock some sense into the fighting alphaholes. A proper look at them all was all I needed to conclude that they were saying something through their mind-link, but for some absurd reason, it made me feel... left out, which was insane.Being their mate naturally meant I could join their mind discussion, but not having a wolf also meant that I didn’t have the link needed to connect me with them, which made me miss Echo so much more than I already did. I missed her to death. I missed her so fucking much.When would the goddess return her to me?Watching my fighting mates, I tr

ODETTEI took the older servant’s last words to me as a dare, and I never joke with dares.Giving my food a last quick look, I ignored the guilt for a split second to grab two roasted chicken thighs, one for me and one for her—unless I got really hungry—as I needed all the energy I could get for my search.My wobbly legs could fail me at any time.Turning the door handle carefully, like I was afraid it would set off a missile that could destroy the whole world, I threw it wide and was surprised that it actually opened.I looked at the locks and noticed that Liev, earlier kicking it down, had done some damage to them. Whether he’d accidentally left it this way or wasn’t bothered by it since I couldn’t escape anyway, I walked out of the room, staying close to the door as I shut it, taking a deep breath.Feasting my eyes on the scenery of the hallway, I realized that this was the first time I was actually using it.

ODETTEWe made it to the clinic, thanks to Amber’s mumbling directions, and don’t get me wrong, I loved the girl, but it was such a relief to get her off me. There’s only so much weight a spineless and starving human like me could handle.The clinic was in a small section of the packhouse, which was standard and easy to access and find. The only thing a bit alarming about it was the fact that this little clinic was a bit too furnished and equipped to be a simple emergency alternative to a hospital.Did wolves get so frequently hurt around here that the clinic had to be upgraded?Helping Amber on a bed, I handled her with care, like she was a fragile sculpture, as she muttered a thank you. I replied with a smile and looked around to see another servant on the bed at the far opposite of us, and was taken aback by how damaged and sickly she looked.What happened to her? I hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking… Was she the one Devyn

ODETTEIt had been five hours since I left the clinic. Five freaking hours, and I’d been updated about nothing. Absolutely nothing! It was driving me fucking nuts ‘cause the only thing I hated more than waiting—I'm not the most patient wolf—was waiting for potential bad news.The only thing stopping me from not kicking this door and barging out of here, even though they’d fixed the lock in the short amount of time I was gone and secured me in, was the older servant’s advice to not leave my room for the rest of today again.I wasn’t sure why or why I was even listening, but truth be told, she was probably the most reliable person here.After waiting for another thirty minutes, I looked out the window to see that it was completely dark out now. I was so ready to start flipping things and throwing my bed over when the lock on my room unlatched.Taking a step back, knowing that Axel, Liev, or fucking Devyn had read my mind and barged in here because I was too noisy or was about to wreck t
