"What was that?" Rosa asked, pulling away from Pierce.Pierce was already on his feet, he kissed her on the head. "Stay here."Pierce walked quickly to the hallway and found Nicolas standing there, staring down at the broken picture frame."Nicolas?" Pierce's asked, his voice deep filled with suspicion "What are you doing here?"Nicolas bent down to pick up the pieces of glass. "I was just... I came down for water. I accidentally knocked this over."Pierce studied his brother's face. Nicolas wouldn't meet his eyes."How long have you been standing here?" Pierce asked quietly."I just got here. Right when it fell."Pierce didn't believe him. "Really?"Nicolas finally looked up at his brother. Pierce could see pain in Nicolas's eyes, and something else. Longing. The way tears stood on his eyes as he looked at him "Yes, really," Nicolas said as he swallowed hard."Nicolas," Pierce said, stepping closer, his wolf growled "I want you to look me in the eye and tell me you weren't listenin

Nicolas woke up to the sound of his phone, buzzing by the bedside stand. He grumbled as he rolled to the other side and reached out for it. He opened his eyes and paused, cold running through his veins. He looked at his hands. "What the hell?" Nicolas whispered, staring at his hands in horror. He couldn't remember anything from last night. The last thing he remembered was going to bed around ten o'clock wondering about the elder's death and how it connected to his life. Now it was morning, and he was covered in blood. Nicolas rushed to the bathroom, snatched his soap, and scrubbed his hands till they pained him. Even after the blood had washed away, he stared at his hands with fear. Like this was not the type of body he used to know about. His phone buzzed again. Pierce's name flashed on the screen. "Nicolas, get downstairs. Now," Pierce ordered. His voice was cold. "Pierce, what's wrong?" "Just get down here." Nicolas put on a blue jean trousers and a shirt and ran downstair

The binding ritual would require a lot of preparation and sacrifice,” Melissa explained, her fingers caressing the stones that had been placed around the salt-formed circle, while Pierce watched, jaw clenched. "Nicolas needs to be in the center," Melissa said, not looking up from her work. "The connection between him and whoever's controlling him will become stronger and we will be fine” Nicolas stood rigid in the doorway. "I don't like this." He whispered, his eyes looking at the salt-formed circle. Something about the way it appeared made his skin crawl. "You don't have a choice. You don't get to like it or hate it. It is not some food that you have an option for. If you don't do it something will happen to you. The choice would be so deadly” Melissa said, looking Nicolas dead in the eye. "You just have to trust the process she added. Rosa sat up a little, her eyes landed on Nicolas seeing how scared he was. "How do we know this will work?" She asked "Because I've done th

Nicolas went rigid. And then he smiled, shrugged. "She's right. I can feel it building. The compulsion. When I see you I won't be able to stop myself."Pierce looked ahead at the moon, as it approached settling in the space around the trees. "Then we go around it.""There is no around," Elena said shaking her head, her face laced with pity."The shadow spirits, they've surrounded us. There is only one way and that is ahead"Rosa clutched her belly. The twins had started moving around, as if they sensed their mother's fear, their movements becoming more disturbing, kicking and fighting without control."They know," she gasped. "The babies know what's coming. They're trying to protect us” she whispered tears flowing from her eyes"From what?" Pierce asked."From him." Rosa looked at Nicolas with tears in her eyes. "They can sense the darkness in him. They know he wants to hurt them."Nicolas stood up, pacing around, scattering his shiat as his hands ran through his hair vigorously till

Pierce sat beside her bed, pulling her close to him, kissing her forehead. "Elena thinks the jail will protect him from Melissa's influence. So don't worry. She has everything in control.""And what happens when they have to let him go? When they realize they don't have enough evidence to hold him? What if Melissa manipulates him out?Pierce kept quiet. They both knew that Nicolas's connection to the murder was not enough. They had not caught him red-handed, and the knife would not be enough evidence to sentence him. They had no real evidence and could not prosecute him without witnesses. It was only a matter of time before he lost."We figure out how to break the connection permanently. Elena and I are working on it," Pierce said.Rosa grabbed his hand. "What if we can't? What if the only way to stop this is to…”"No," Pierce said stopping her before she could continue. "We don't give up on him. We don't sacrifice him. He is my brother. I value him way more than I value Kelvin or any
