Kael's POVTheir reactions were so amusing. Especially hers.I'd woken up early in the morning happy despite what happened at night. I'd been thinkingabout Tia and I was thinking even more about her while doing my morning routine. Ronald saidthere was no need to go for a hunt today because we already had enough food to last for a longtime, and that we already had a lot to talk about when it came to pack issues. But I wanted toleave for a run, so they'd let me after various warnings. We could never be too careful.For some reason, I knew Tia would be outside. The ache in my heart lessened the further Iwent. I'd told her I would call or text, but I didn't want to. Seeing her- smelling her- from afar wasenough to make me come to a quick decision.My sharp ears heard her whisper to her beta that we were mates and my heart did a happydance. I briefly contemplated telling Jason about her because it was only fair, but then mythoughts got interrupted by Lori's loud voice and her point

Kael's POVWatching her, I couldn't help but feel bad for Tia.She hadn't shown much sadness since Simon's death and I assumed they weren't too close,but now I could see just how much it was getting to her the more we talked about it.To me, Tia Marion had always been strong- she still is- but it's nice to see a few cracks in hertough exterior. To see that she felt some sort of emotion that didn't have to do with herself.I'd never really had favorable views about the members of the Silverbrook pack, and honestly,my thoughts remained the same, but I did feel different when it came to how I saw Tia.I remembered how indifferent her father acted when she was hurt, and when he was talkingabout it. Maybe home life wasn't that great.I took a step closer, offering her a comforting smile as I took her into my arms. She didn'tresist, instead, she leaned closer.It was a wonderful feeling. I wanted her to lean on me more often.“You smell nice,” she suddenly said, propelling me to burst

Kael's POVI walked home delirious from that kiss with Tia. But anyone who saw my face would doubt it.My expression was cold. It's something I learned from childhood. I was adviced to never letanyone know when I'm hurt or angry, or feeling any type of emotion. They always used thatagainst me back then. A hard habit to die now that I'm an adult, but I wouldn't hide it from Tia. Icouldn't.I sighed as I crossed the familiar territory, taking in the trees and the chattering coming fromafar and it wasn't just because the forest was eerily quiet- it almost always was. My ears wereso sensitive that I could hear anything a mile away, but I could control it now. Back then, I'd belosing it. A terrible ability to have when you just want to have a normal encounter, but perfect forhunting.I was also able to hear footsteps coming my direction.I paused, my hands in my pockets as I called out softly,“You don't have to sneak up on me,you know."I heard familiar cursing, a smile forming o

Kael's POVWe were in the pack clinic having a meeting.It had been cleared out leaving the key pack members. Except two of us. But those two werealready dead.We'd tried to have the bodies searched for something. Anything. As long as it's useful to catchthis guy, but it was futile.The room was tense. We all stood, staring at the table the bodies of our pack members oncewere before we sent them over to the families who wished to bury them immediately. We'd havea proper memorial later, but this was more important.We needed to find him quickly.Finding him would help Lancer and Candice rest in peace. It would make their family feelslightly better.“He left a simple message introducing himself," Ronald spoke, breaking the tense andmournful silence.“The scent on the letter seems pretty common, thus making it difficult to trackhim down. No scent, no fingerprints, no way of knowing where it came from…”“He’s really good at hiding his tracks,” one of our members, Kat muttered.Th

Unknown POVThe house creaked as I pushed the door open, revealing a dark interior. The air was stale, thewindows shut as I walked in.I reached out a hand, flipping a switch, and the sudden burst of light illuminated the spacemade my eyes squint. I closed the door behind me, walking to the push the curtains andwindows open.The afternoon sun outside was sinking rapidly below the horizon, casting long shadowsacross the walls.I turned around.The room was spacious, with high ceilings and large windows that let in what remained of thedaylight. The atmosphere didn't feel as oppressive as it felt when I first walked in. However, thesilence was almost palpable, broken only by the faint hum of the lights, and the cool windcoming through the windows.I moved through the house, my footsteps echoing off the walls. I climbed the stairs, my eyesscanning the empty rooms. Each door I pushed open revealed more emptiness. It looked likethere was no sign of life anywhere. The rooms were bar
