Alpha grabbed the witch by her arm firmly and pulled her to her feet.“Get whatever you need,” he ordered.“And get in the car. You’re taking us to your house. You’re doing the spell. And then you’re giving me the name of the witch who hexed Adam.”She gulped but didn’t argue this time.Kael stepped closer and said to her in a low warning voice.“We’re not letting you out of our sight. If you even blink wrong, you may not make it to where we parked our car.”She swallowed again, nodding quickly as she grabbed her bag by the counter.Dante gave her a bright smile that somehow still sounded like a threat.“Cheer up! Field trip!”Alpha didn’t smile, nor did he blink.He was already turning toward the door, radiating fury and urgency like a storm in human form.“Move,” he growled.*****Night was approaching and the blue sky was slowly giving way to gold, as the sun leaned towards the horizon. Adam was carrying Annie like she weighed nothing while he walked miles, deep into the forest. T

Alpha lunged at her but before he reached her,She snapped her fingers and she made all of them choke with her magic. The air ceased. Alpha’s breath choked in his throat.Dante dropped to his knees while holding his chest.Kael clawed at his neck.Onika gasped, coughing hard.The witch held her hand up in the air, by so doing, she was vehemently restricting their air flow. It took a moment. “That’s enough!” she shouted. “If you could stop trying to kill me for one minute, I’ll explain!”She flicked her wrist and she released them.They were coughing and wheezing as air finally found its way into their lungs again. Alpha’s vision dimmed. "You...what did you do?" he pointed at her, still coughing. Dante wheezed, “Girl my lungs are not even that strong... What the hell is wrong with you, freak?"“I didn’t heal Adam,” she said. “My sister did.”She sent another wave of shock with the air she had just released. They looked stunned and confused. “What?!” Kael coughed. "More lies"“My si

Alpha snapped his head up, eyes glowing with grief and rage all at once. “We need a hospital now Dante! Any hospital!”“No,” Dante shot back immediately. “Are you insane? That’s exactly where the council or Elder Isaiah’s men will be searching! Even possibly the witch who did this. They want the vessel. Annie is the vessel. Don't you get it?!” He yelled. “She’s dying Dante!” Alpha snarled. Anger and fear twisted together behind his eyes like a raging storm. “Am I supposed to sit here and just watch her die?!”“And if the council found her at the hospital?” Dante barked. “She won't last two minutes... that's a huge risk, Killian."Alpha held Annie closer, and she made a soft choking sound that silenced everyone. "She's already lost the baby they desperately wanted. There's no vessel if there's no baby... so maybe they don't need her anymore. Kael looked back. "And you think they are just going to let her go because she lost the baby? Killian, it's the council they'll never back down

Kael stared down at his Mom's old and battered metallic box that had been sitting on the table for years.He blew out a shaky breath. His fingers hovered over the lid. Just touching it felt like opening old wounds. The smell rising from it went straight into his memory.He lifted the lid, and the past snapped open with it. Suddenly, he was fourteen years old again— too trusting, too eager to please his mom. He believed everything she told him in that creepy dungeon, He loved her more than anyone else. He recalled the lies she told him. “There's a fun game I want us to play. This will make us stronger, Kael… This will make us one.” Kael’s eyes lit up with joy and innocence."Let's do it, Mommy." his laughter echoed. He remembered how her eyes softened each time he got the pronunciation right like she was proud. As if she wasn’t binding him to a lifetime of unseen abuse and pain.Every injury she took in battle was sent straight to him. Every strike she endured from their father was on

They saw it crawling in a corner—a very fat rat, as big as the size of a small cat, sniffing at the corner looking for what to eat."R–R–Rat!” she yelled. Dante blinked. “...You have got to be kidding me... Are you serious right now?”Kael held his chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack. So you screamed like that because of a rat? I almost feared something had happened to the baby."Alpha barely had time to blink.One moment, she was standing beside Alpha Next, she flew straight behind him to hide."Alpha—Alpha please don't let it touch me."Alpha stood stillNot because of the rat but because Annie was pressed right against him, her breath was warm on his back, her hands gripped his waistline like he was the only safe place in the world.Behind them, Dante choked on a laugh.Kael’s eyebrows shot up as he was trying to process what had just happened.Onika stared, confused at how fast Annie had moved over a rat.But Annie wasn’t thinking about any of them, she was truly terrified
