Cheska’s POVI slowly turned my head around to confirm my suspicions. Lingering over me maliciously was Vlad’s brother, Valentine. I jumped away from him in terror and took several steps to where Anaki and Derik stood petrified. I slowly started to shake my head, denying the terrors that laid in front of me.He stood burning in anger. His suit was torn and hanging at odd angles, and normally perfect hair sat greasy and unkempt on his head. He probably shifted mid way as furs started to retract back in his skin. He looked towards me with malice and hunger in his eyes."What? Didn't my dear Cheska miss her captor? I know I missed my bitch." His eyes became more dark at the last word and he briskly started to walk towards me. I walked backwards away from him until I bumped into Derik and Anaki, who still stood petrified. When I knocked into Anaki it seemed to pull him out of his trance. He pulled me behind him and walked up to Valentine with a ferocious look in his eyes."Don't you touc

Vlad’s POVWest.Alpha Marzouq was so certain that his eyes seemed so bored. I knew desert wolf was built to be different and what I wasn’t expecting was that he could tell it almost immediately. The word still echoing in my head long after the meeting ended.“I can smell the trails in the West.”Every instinct inside me clawed in that direction now relentlessly now that something had finally aligned.We were moving. FinallyMy warriors prepared outside and Rowan was coordinating patrols when Marzouq stepped up. “Your beta will not lead the trail,” he said. I looked at him, questioning. “My men will lead. I don’t want them to be distracted,” he added. I looked at Rowan, his jaw tightening. “Alright. I trust this one to you, Alpha,” I said. “You should be because I have never done this before.”Marzouq sat down on the chair before me as Vivian was on the other side. I was thankful for her but I was still weighing if Marzouq's help won’t cost me anything. “What do you want?” I a

Cheska’s POVNow I’m back again. I was so close, so close to escape. The freedom was almost there. Almost.The other two prisoners walked into the room and interrupted my crying fest. I heard them entering so I quickly wiped my tears away and let my hands fall to my sides. Erica and Abby approached me with pity in their eyes with a first aid kit in tow. I refused to make eye contact with them, refusing to believe I was really back here.The younger one spoke to me first, quietly and sweetly. "Hi, Cheska. My name is Abby and this is Five. We're going to help you, ok?"“Isn’t her name Erica?” I asked Abby what made Erica jolt in fear. Abby looked at her then to me. “Uhm yes but Erica has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Erica has five personalities. The current one in her body was Five. She’s hostile and extremely quiet.”I looked at Erica. She was not the same woman as I remember. She wasn’t polished anymore. She was like a homeless woman with dirty clothing and unkept hair. “H-hi,”

Valentine slammed the door shut and walked past me once more, not glancing my way once. He took an extra chair that was to the side of his desk and sat down. Before he slouched over once more, he began to take off his jacket and shirt. I gasped as the blistered burns came fully into view. They lined his back and shoulders, leaving hardly an inch of skin untouched. Once he took off his shirt, he threw it across the room and slammed the first aid kit down with his other hand.He didn't need to yell at me twice, so I quickly hobbled over to the first aid kit and began opening it, taking out supplies I needed to fix a burn-looking wound. I was in no way an expert, but I healed the wound on my arm alright, so I figured I would treat Valentine's the same way.As I was working, I settled into a range of motions that felt robotic. I didn't want to be here helping him, and I most certainly didn't want to be touching or fixing his wounds. To ignore these feelings, I simply let my emotions beco

Vlad’s POV “Her scent still lingers here and also your Beta’s” No. No. No I stood frozen in the middle of the forest, staring at the ground like it would somehow change if I looked long enough. According to Marzouq, Cheska’s scent was everywhere. It was faint but definitely there. I would have been happy, hope would have swelled within me but what he added was something I couldn’t just unhear. Cheska was with Rowan. Why? Did Rowan witness what happened to Cheska? I couldn’t imagine what the rogues did to her and he was just standing there, watching her struggles and they way how those damn rogues dragged her around. My chest tightened violently. Did he betray me? No…maybe not but would Marzouq lie to me? I crouched slowly, my hand pressing against the soil where Marzouq had pointed earlier. I didn’t want to breathe. I didn’t want to confirm it. But I did and the moment the scent hit, everything inside me shattered. It was Rowan’s. My fingers curled into the dirt, still
