JACE BALDWIN'S POV Three days after Addison got out of the hospital, I dropped by her place one afternoon to see how she was holding up.I wasn't surprised to see she had snapped right back to her usual self as though nothing had happened. The event of that day with Ophelia did nothing to subdue her strong spirit and persona.Addison was one person who had a great deal of effect on people and no matter what she always held her head high and that was one of the things that drew me to her."I want us to start over." Addison had said after five minutes of awkward silence that enveloped us after a pregnant pause where we both had nothing more to say to each other. She sat on the opposite side of me, her fingers fidgeting on her lap, her eyes pleading. She pushed herself to the edge of the seat, the soft leather groaning in protest, and her hands came together in front of her.She was in a sky blue striped short and a matching bra, the striped shirt that came with it was left discarded

IAN DIAZ POVMy breath was shallow as I stood in front of the cellar that we contracted at the back of the mansion.For some reason, Jace had suggested we build it there because he suspected Lykos may feel more calm at the back of the house.Maybe it had something to do with the fresh fragrance from the flowers and the breeze that blew out back.I was yet to understand Jace's sudden interest in his backyard, when initially, he wouldn't bother about it. The mansions background was only ever used for his occasional barbeque parties and that was only because Addison insisted we use this backyard since it had so much space mass.The blood moon was out and I, with the rest of the five warriors stationed outside grew anxious as we heard the angry groans and growls of Lykos inside the cell.I stood frozen in place, my eyes fixed on the cell door. The coldness of the night didn't come close to how I felt on the inside. The cell was sealed shut with only a door and three tiny windows that co

JACE BALDWIN'S POV The first thing my senses registered after gaining partial consciousness was the banging in my head then, the soft beat of a heartbeat a few feet away from where I lay, and the smell of coffee wafting in the air. Sunlight streamed into the room from the window, sending warmth into the room.Even with the glaring light from the window, I struggled to open my eyes but my lids weren't exactly cooperating with me at the moment.Letting out a groan, I wrinkled my forehead in annoyance then turned my body to the side and away from the glaring sunlight."Do you need me to slap the tiredness away for you?" What was he doing here?From the familiar fragrance of the room and the absence of any lingering cologne on the sheets, I knew I was in my room.Ian's words were soon accompanied by an amused chuckle. I heard shuffling of feet but no other movement.Taking in a deep breath, my eyes flew open in alarm when my nose faintly picked up Ian's scent.My head snapped in the di

CARLY WOODS POV Silence.Deafening silence. And...Darkness.A heavy darkness that wouldn't go away.My current state isn't what could be labeled as normal or healthy to anyone.Darkness and silence have never been the best match for anyone who wanted to keep their sanity intact.But that was all I had this past hour or so.I had no idea how long I'd been stuck running in the darkness with an occasional moment of silence, where I'd wander around aimlessly.Hoping to see the light.But... I couldn't see anything.Not even the light we were promised to find at the end of the tunnel.Like a routine I couldn't break free from, I could hear the voices of people I'd hoped to never hear from again from a distance.The voices that came from a past I could not bury. My unfortunate fate didn't want me to keep them locked up tight and buried.The closer I got to the voices, the farther they'd go. Beta Ian Diaz... Alice...and Jace.Alpha Jace Baldwin. The man who haunted my dreams every night

CARLY WOODS POV The sun was at its peak, shining down on everyone who stepped out of the safety of a shade.The bright and glowing light the sun brought was a stark contrast to how I felt on the inside.My eyes scan the familiar yet foreign space of the Alpha's mansion.Everything was different from the last time I was here. The furniture. The rug. The flowers that once added warmth to the living room were gone.It was as if I'd stepped into a different house."Why did he change his interior?" I whispered under my breath, my head turning in every direction to take in the new black leather furniture.Was it his way of getting rid of my presence?Ian was kind enough to serve me a cup of tea with a sandwich in the room I was in.After freshening up, I paired a pair of A-cut brown mid-thigh shorts with a crop thin strap top and black Nike shoes to go with.It was weird how I kept jumping and turning at the slightest sound but as time rushed past, I started getting used to it.This was w
