Freyas povI ran into the room fast. “Zara!” I shouted.She was on the floor. The vase had broken around her. There was glass, so much sharp glass scattered everywhere. Her little hand was red. Blood scattered everywhere.“No, no, no…” I collapsed down beside her. She was screaming so hard that her face was red too. I carried her up immediately.“Shh, it’s okay baby, it’s okay,” I whispered as my hands shook.She cried into my chest with scared little cries. My shirt was wet wet her tears fell but I didn’t care.I carried her to the bed and set her on it. I got a rag, water and some bandages. My hands felt all shaky but I tried to steady it and I had to because she was looking at me with big wet eyes thinking maybe I would be mad at how she had broken the vase.“Stay still,” I said in a calm way. “It just stings a little.”I cleaned the cut. She screamed louder when the water hit it. “Shhh… shhh… I know, I know,” I said, holding her.I put the band-aid on her hand slowly and softly b

Freya’s PovThe house was quiet that night. Too quiet for my liking.I didn’t know what I would do or what was going through my mind at this time, but I knew it was not anything good. I really needed to get out of here with my daughter or I would be in serious trouble.The more I paced, the crazier I was becoming.Zac did not forgive. He didn’t forget. And that vase? That vase was enough to sign both our death warrants. I wasn’t waiting around to see how bad it would get.I got out of the room and walked back in to see Zara still sleeping. I could not even sleep. Not with the thought of me being killed or worse.I sighed. I had no choice. It was either I made this work, or I didn’t.The only choice I came up with was to run away and leave all of this behind. That was all I could do now.I walked to Zara and slowly shook her awake as she looked at me with wide eyes like she had been tortured while she slept.“hey sweetheart,” I smiled. “Wake up.”“Mummy?” She muttered. “what is going

Zac’s povI walked with the elders by my side through the forest as the damp earth squished around.The silence I enjoyed was what made this trip back from the neighboring pack worth it.Actually, the silence cleared the voices from my mind.As usual, though, the elders had a hard time saying nothing at all. All they wanted to do was talk about what could have been and what wasn’t. Gosh I hated them.One of them, his grey beard and thin body made him appear like a stick about to break in half, walked next to me speaking with that voice of his. "Alpha, it was good today. Very good. We should be happy. We came together. Spoke... we were patient... shows how much we have."I stopped walking on the pavement path I had been wandering on for no telling how long now."Happy?!" He shook, eyes darting to the men behind him as I turned to face him. A younger soldier tried to step in, but the elder kept going, his voice shaky. “Yes, Alpha. Grateful. Tonight we spoke of alliance with the neighbo

Freya’s povThe world had shrunken to two points of pure terror: the rough bark of the tree grinding into my back and the sight of my daughter, dangling over leaping flames.All I could do was watch in silence as I prayed for the moon goddess to help me in any way she could.One of them, their leader I think, whose face was shadowed by the darkness looked at me with a smile which had me shuddering in place. “You look really good for someone about to be used by four wolves. We don’t like sharing so we’re taking out your daughter so you can be in heat and be with us. Hope that works for you.”I was disgusted by their ways and it hurt me with his hands being on my neck, digging into me with each breath I took."Please,” I begged, the word wrenched in a jagged tear from my throat. “Please, she’s just a child. Take me. Do whatever you want to me. Just let her go.”The man holding me laughed in a low and brutal way, his breath sour with that night's meal. “Quiet down, girl,” he said. “Your

Zac’s povThe silence after she said it weighed heavier than the dead men lying in their blood around us. The fire crackled, completely out of sync with everything else. It was the only sound minus our breathing and Zara’s cry for help.Why would she say what she said? I was already feeling bad. This was terrible."Running from me?" I asked finally, feeling how ridiculous the words were as they came out of my mouth. "Freya, what in the hell are you talking about? Running from me?"She hugged herself tighter and didn’t look at me. “You have to promise first,” She said, her voice all shaky too. “Promise you won't... you won't hurt her. Zara. You have to say it.I was confused one what she was talking about.“Freya are you okay?” I asked as she has a wild look in her eyes. Almost like… like she didn’t trust me.“Promise me.”“I have to know if you are…” I said while hearing her as she took a step back and held out her hand to stop me where I was.“Don’t come any closer.”She was frantic.
