Neena took occasional glances over her shoulder to look at me and each time she did that, she always said something to Asper afterwards. Asper only looked at me once and he didn't say anything. The next time the sun appeared again, we were already far away from the part of the woods where they spotted me. I could tell that by averaging the number of trees I had counted on my path and the distance between each tree. My heart was now beating crazily and I was desperate to find a way out of my captivity. I was done for if I allowed them to take me wherever they were going. Asper certainly wouldn't let me live long enough to be able to rat him out to Aiden and even if he wanted to risk it, Neena surely wouldn't allow it. It was now or never. But what could I do? I wasn't strong or fast enough. Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation in my throat and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Something was happening but I didn't know what it was. Was someone or something else in the woods w

“Again?” He chuckled, and something about that laugh being related to Daisy made my blood boil. “That girl sure has a habit of disappearing.”“Shut it.” But I couldn’t deny that he was right. Trouble always followed her. “Speaking of which, where are you?” “Had to run a quick errand. Why?” “Errand? You?”He chuckled again. “What? I can't run errands anymore?” “You're an Alpha- y’know what, don't respond to that. I need you to help me.” I rubbed my temple, fatigue seeping into my bones. Time was not on my side, and I didn't want to lose her again. Concern coated his tone when he spoke. “Help you? Whatever for?”“Daisy.”A breath of exasperation floated from his end to my ear. “I can't. I'm sorry.”“What do you mean-” “I can't, Aiden,” he interjected, probably knowing that I was about to launch into a string of expletives. “Not now anyway. This errand is pretty important.”“...Fuck.” A dry chuckle sounded from his end. “When I’m done, I can help out. But right now, definitely not.

Daisy's P.O.V:I watched, terribly frightened, as Asper led Neena into the thick of the woods and they disappeared, leaving me with his guards and Leon, who smiled at me like he had a million ways to make me his dinner.Thinking of things he'd done before, I didn't doubt the possibility that he could.“Daisy, Daisy, Daisy,” he said, grinning evilly as he approached me. I tried to shuffle back, but the bonds around my arms prevented the action, and I couldn't cry out in pain against the cloth over my mouth. “Don’t you look well.” I said nothing, choosing to stare back at him with as much hatred as I could muster. He noticed it and laughed, and shock went through my system when malice filled his expression, his claws lengthening, “You just love getting into trouble, don't you?” he taunted, walking around me in circles and causing my head to spin. Before us, Asper’s men stood, stoic expressions on their faces. I let out a sound that was between a plea for help and a sound of defian

Aiden’s P.O.V.I was seated in my office, twirling a pen and pondering over the events of the day before instead of looking through the blueprints of the new school proposed by the elders. No matter how much I tried to shake the feeling, there was just something oddly convenient about Leon's saving Daisy when I'd missed her scent while tracking. How he'd succeeded so easily where I’d failed disturbed me, and at a point I wasn't sure if I was thinking about the situation from a place of pride, or if something truly was wrong somewhere. My mind assured me it was the latter. And the reason was Daisy's odd behavior after I found her. I'd caught her staring at him with an emotion that bordered on fright, and she'd slightly flinched later when someone mentioned his name. She thought I hadn't noticed, but I had. I noticed everything.“Fuck.” I stopped twirling the pen and dropped it beside the blueprints I was supposed to have been reviewing, before placing two fingers on my right temple

“No,” I said. “There's none.”He kept staring at me, and I almost shifted in my seat. “How about the howling?” I blinked. “What?”“The howling, Daisy. I heard it that day, in the woods. It was so loud and unharmonious to the point that my men and I had to shut our ears. And now, I realize it was really familiar.”My howling was loud and unharmonious? “I did howl, but I don't know how,” I answered, knowing that there was no way I would be able to explain. His eyes narrowed. “Do you know who you're talking to, kitty?” Damn. He hadn't called me that in so long. I swallowed. “I do, Alpha. But I promise, I have no idea how it happened, I-” “Do you think I am a fool?” The tone of his voice had dropped to a lethal one, and a shiver ran down my spine. “I can kill you right now. This very moment, and no one will fight that decision.”“I am saying that truth,” I forced out. “I don't know how it happened. I just opened my mouth and...” I shrugged. He seemed to study my face briefly before
