GIDEON“Are they alive but unconscious, or dead?” I quickly asked the Soldier that came to inform me.Before he could even answer, I was already on my way back to the pack house.The pack was in chaos, with lots of screaming and wailing spreading through the area. About ten percent of my pack members had collapsed to the ground. Men, women, and even children.Something tightened in my chest at the sight.“Take them to the pack hospital now!” I instructed my soldiers, and they began lifting them off the ground and rushing them to the pack hospital.What the hell could be happening to them? Was there something in the food and drinks? Was it food poisoning?Daisy’s mother approached us, along with her father.“Where have you all been? We have been searching for you,” Amelia said.“Gabriel kidnapped Violet, but luckily, we were able to save her,” Daisy told her mother.“Oh, my...” she gasped. “Where is she now?”“Axel has taken her somewhere safe,” Daisy responded.Amelia sighed in relief

DAISY“Why would Lila help us?” I muttered as I slowly inched closer to my mate, took the note, and glanced at it.Before Gabriel’s death, she had betrayed us and given her loyalty to him. Unless...“Perhaps she never betrayed us after all. Maybe she just wanted to get close enough to him to attack him,” Mother voiced out my thoughts.“But she helped Gabriel torture me while I was in captivity. And she was there when he almost killed Violet. If she hadn’t betrayed us, then why didn’t she stop him? And why isn’t she coming out to explain now that Gabriel is dead, instead of slipping us a note with a spell?” I muttered.Before anyone could respond, I moved toward Violet and crouched beside her. “We can think about that later. Let’s worry about reviving Violet first.”I looked at the spell again to memorize it.“Are you sure it will work? What if the spell contains something that would make her condition worse? We cannot trust Lila.” Axel said.“I agree that we cannot trust Lila, but tha
