Tia's POVJason did not look happy, but I wasn't able to see what else happened because I left themalone. They didn't need my presence to complicate things.As I walked away from the room where I'd left Kael and Jason, I couldn't shake off the feelingof unease. I wondered how Jason would react to the truth. Kael told me he'd explain everythingand I hoped he would.I sighed to myself and briefly contemplated going to find Isla but decided against it. She hadher friends to talk to, anyway. I didn't have to act like her mother all the time. It's not like she'snot in a safe space.I made my way through the paths of the pack's territory, my heart pounding in my chest. Iknew I had to talk to Lori about what had happened. As I approached the edge of the territory, Inoticed a group of Kael's pack members lingering outside. They seemed to be waiting forsomeone, and their eyes locked onto mine as I walked by.I met their gaze for a moment, but quickly looked away, feeling a discomfort i

Tia's POVIt was the next day, around 9 in the morning and I'd gotten a message from Rachel to prepare. Itwas time to work.I undressed, glancing at a familiar shirt one more time before going to shower.I stepped under the warm water, letting it wash away the fatigue of the previous day. I felt asense of relief as the tension in my shoulders eased. I so wanted to spend more time under thewater, but I couldn't risk it. I can always do this later.After getting dressed, I headed downstairs to join my sister, Isla, for breakfast. Our fathernever joined us and we'd grown used to not expecting him. It was fine though, we'd alwaysmanaged without him. And Isla was old enough to make breakfast now, so it made my workeasier.“Good morning, Tia," Isla said, smiling up at me as I sat down.“Good morning, baby girl," I grinned, glancing at the table.of meat early in the morning."“You made burgers. I like the smell"I'm glad you like it,” Isla said, munching on her food.“So what are y

Jason's POVI didn't feel right leaving Lori to herself, but she wasn't a child. She was a whole trained beta,she'd be fine.I walked around the street that seemed almost lifeless. I could hear people, but saw no one.There was movement closeby and it was a door.I glanced up and saw a figure by the window.Frowning, I took a few steps towards it. But then I heard my name called.It was Lori.I wasted no time in running towards the direction of her calls.Then I found her.Panther shifters- I could smell them. They surrounded her, and I could smell blood. I wasfurious.The panther shifters tried to back off as they sensed danger for themselves, but I didn't letthem escape as I moved with speed, taking down the shifters one by one.I wasted no time in beating them up- thankfully, they weren't as skilled as me, but I made sureto keep one conscious. We needed answers.When I was finished, I turned to her, my face etched with concern."Thanks," Lori forced out as she fell to the floo

Kael's POVI flinched, not daring to look behind. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that Tia was fine,so I sighed in relief.“You two!"Thankfully, we were werewolves, so outrunning the security guard.Tia and I bursted through the school doors, our feet pounding the pavement as we sprintedacross the parking lot. The sound of another gunfire echoed behind us, and we didn't dare lookback. We had to get to safety."Where can we hide?" Tia panted, her eyes scanning the surrounding buildings.Going right to the car would make it easier for him to get us, because he'd definitely follow. Itwas best to find a spot.And I found it."There!" I pointed to a narrow alleyway between two buildings nearby. We darted into theshadows just as the guard rounded the corner, gun raised.Tia and I pressed ourselves against the wall, our breathing synchronized as we listened to theguard's footsteps. He walked past our hiding spot, following the route I'd anticipated.We waited a few seconds."N

Jason's POVI couldn't believe what I was hearing. At no point did I think that talking to James Green, thismassive man was going to open a can of worms like this.I was supposed to hate him because he's technically an enemy, but I couldn't because I kindafelt badly for him. He lost both his family members and wouldn't be able to see them again. Itreminded me of Kael. I'm glad losing his family didn't make him go crazy. I'm glad my parentstook him in.Now I was a bit worried about Kael confronting Spencer. What if he tries to use the death ofhis parents to manipulate him to turn on everyone?I wondered if it was possible since Tia is his mate, his hatred shouldn't be enough to leave hismate. Or kill her. Killing your mate is…“Lucinda," I started, getting their attention.“Is she your mate?" I asked, curiously.“No."I blinked.“Oh. Wow… then how?""We were childhood friends, so… we never met our mates and Lucinda wanted to have a childand… we loved each other… so… we got tog
