SEBASTIAN'S POVThat velvet voice paralyzed my limbs with dread authority, though I railed against its hold. The colossus turned burning pits where eyes should be, fixing their magnetism upon my fighting comrades. We were doomed - yet the pup nestled safe in my jaws, its fate bound with my survival. With a final howl of anguish, I turned from the fray, plunging into the raging waters.Currents seized us in iron claws, pummeling our joined shapes through rapids grown wilful and wrathful. Over fog-shrouded falls we tumbled, the world a blur of roiling white. All seemed lost to the flooding deeps until our battered forms washed ashore miles hence, dusk closing in upon an unknown strand. Gently I crawled from the surf, collapsing amid reeds that hid our landing from any watching eyes. The pup stirred feebly, shivering in my embrace though its flame yet kindled bright. "Have courage, little one," I soothed in a rasp. "Your charge is safe, for now." How long we lay as night fell complet

ATHENA'S POVI watched the sky grow dark, Sebastian had not yet returned. He never missed dinner without calling to let me know he wasn't returning."Ma'am, the kids are asking for you. They have refused to go to bed without their Father's good night kiss" the nanny said to me."What? Oh..." I said beginning to feel even more worried. At dinner, I had felt really bad, my stomach growled terribly and it was not from hunger. It was more of a hunch, a terrible hunch I could not quite place my finger on.I turned to their nanny and nodded. "I'll talk to them, you don't worry about it. Were you able to clear the tables? Did they drink their milk? What about Night Cookie? Did they have their night cookies?" I needed to find out that all their routines had been cleared and there was nothing left to distract them with. How on earth was I going to cover for their Father's good night kiss? "Everything was covered, Mrs Stone. Even down to the cookies. It was right after that they began asking

SEBASTIAN'S POVAs I walked towards the door, the only image that kept flashing in my head was that of the several locations I had seen and the very near-death werewolf which lay on the laboratory table with thousands of silver-laced needles sticking through it.This was going to be a horrendous event, something we had never dealt with before, Sienna had gone far beyond the edges now. She was hungry for something more than revenge and it made me wonder what this was all about. There was only one person who had the answers to my questions, and she still lived in the one place I had come to despise and dread setting foot in...the Stone Mansion. That place which I had once termed home, now felt like a wasteland I did not want to ever set foot inside.I honked my horn outside the marble gates, she had hired new security."Mr. Stone" -and somehow he recognized me. I watched him nod at me as an acknowledging sign of respect, and then he ran back inside his post and pressed the button which

SEBASTIAN'S POVI looked at my mother with an unwavering gaze expecting her to tell me everything I needed to know about her alliance with Sienna mad what she had been planning all along. What did Sienna want with Lycans? And why was she experimenting with silver on werewolves?"Sienna and the Lycaons?" She repeated to herself again as though the first time I said it had no effect or made no perfect sense to her."I do know anything about Sienna and the Lycaons or why do you think I should know something about that " she replied"Bullshit mother, bullshit and you know it. You worked with Sienna for years, you can't tell me you didn't for once catch wind of her fancies or where she went or whom she spoke with or what she did when I wasn't around." I accused her"I was your mother, not her servant. I couldn't keep the girl under lock and key, she had her freedom and often visited her Father's house you know " she said to me."Why are you asking all these anyway?" She asked." Because I

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWI helped the nanny serve Anna and Hendrix their lunch. They had been asking questions since I picked them up from school before they could even have their lunch break. Anna was the most inquisitive of the two."Mummy, is something wrong?" She had asked earlier on when I tried to help her out of her schoolwear."No honey, why do you ask?" I asked helping her out of her favorite pink jelly underwear."You never pick us up from school until later and...Hendrix said I had an episode again the night before, " her little sweet innocent voice said to me. I couldn't help but feel sorry that I could. not give her the answers she requested simply because they were too hard to explain.I did not have those answers for myself. Everything felt wrong the air, the way Sebastian was behaving, my nightmare, and the horrible, life-sizing, scary situation that had happened with Anna the previous night.I lifted her off the bed and did the smooth spin around I usually did when she
