I nearly wreck the car, swerving into oncoming traffic, but quickly correcting myself. My hand covers my chest, and I take heavy breaths as I realize just what Colt meant by ‘good luck with that.’“You nearly gave me a heart attack. What are you doing?” I snap, glaring at Polly through the rear-view mirror.She climbs over the seat and into the passenger seat. “I needed to talk to you. I figured capturing you was the only way you’d listen.” She tells me.I roll my eyes, turning down a road that leads to the empty side of the pack. “There’s nothing to explain…” She cuts me off, grabbing my arm. “Yes, there is!”She falls back in her seat, turning her head towards me, “You weren’t wrong. At first, I was supposed to make you feel welcome. Help you acclimate.” She tells me, then sits up fidgeting like she can’t figure out how she wants to sit. “But you were fun, nice… I really liked you. After a little bit, I wasn’t pretending. I liked hanging out with you.” She explains, and my jaw ticks

“You ready?” Orion asks, walking over to me, grabbing my hands and looking into my eyes. My lips press together, honestly, I wouldn’t really mind going if we didn’t have to shadow travel, but we’re too far away to get there quickly from land travel.I give him a curt nod and turn to look at my father. He’s not coming, but he wanted to come see me before I left. He’s terrified that I’m leaving the pack, and by the anxious looks my mates keep making at each other every time they think I’m not looking, I’d say they’re nervous as well.But I guess it makes sense to a certain extent, the witch has placed a barrier over her town so we can’t just shadow travel away if something goes wrong.“I’ll be fine.” I tell him, his eyes move to look behind me at my mates, “I know you will be. They’ll make sure of it.” He tells me, and I give him a small smile. “I’ll see you soon.” I tell him, and he nods. “See you soon.”I turn back to my mates; they all are watching my every move. After yesterday’s sc

The witch covers her heart with her hands, looking at Cyrus. “I’m sorry, but I needed to gather the information, I couldn’t have you guys pulling her away from me.“Her eyes were lit up blue!” Cyrus shouts in response. The witch nods, “It was necessary, I didn’t hurt her.” She tells him.His black eyes look back at me. I shake my head, “I’m fine.” Physically, I have no idea what the fuck that did mentally. What was all that?I look up at the witch, her eyes already on mine. “I can help.” Her head shakes, “With how strong you are… I don’t know how long it’ll last.” She tells us, and Orion takes a step forward, “What do you mean? Do you know what order she is?”My eyes widen and the witch looks back down at me. I give her the most subtle shake of my head that I can muster. She looks back at Orion, “No. I could just tell she’s strong. But the witch that has ahold of her is also very strong. The magic she’s using…” Her head shakes, “I haven’t seen it since I was a kid. It’s illegal and ve

I lose count of the days that I stay laying in our bed, staring at the ceiling. My mates are getting antsy. They switch from laying down next to me, comforting me, to pacing the floor.I’ve heard the angry phone calls. The worry that I’m not moving. I was wide awake when the healer told them there wasn’t anything physically wrong with me, beyond the normal.My wrist throbs this morning though. It’s the first feeling I’ve felt beyond the heart break, and I turn my head back towards my wrist. Then I sit up, still staring at my wrist.I’m instantly surrounded by giant men. “Sweetheart?” Orion whispers, like he’ll spook me if he uses full volume.I slowly look up at him, “My wrist hurts.” I whisper back. He lets out a relieved sigh, pulling me into his chest.I let him hug me, then he lets me go and I look back at him. “Can I shower?” I ask him, and he’s already nodding. “You can have whatever the fuck you want, Sweetheart.” He rasps, already pushing Cyrus off the bed to give me room to s

The closer I look at my new tattoo, the more I see. I swear it looks like shadows encased in the flames, the wolf's eyes seem to move. It’s so strange.The twins finally got me out of the room, but I’m still not fully present. My mind keeps wandering, and right now I’m sitting here staring at this tattoo.The one that has taken from me, something I didn’t even know I would truly miss this much. But it’s not just my mate it’s taken. It’s taken my advanced hearing, my advanced smelling and sight… It’s taken what little of the bond that I had felt with the rest of my mates…I know I feel more for them then what it was giving me because I still want to be near them, but something’s different now.I twist my hand around, looking at the flames on the other side of my hand, lacing through my fingers, it almost looks like a fancy glove. I wonder how long I’ll have to have this. How long I’ll be able to handle having it. I have no idea how we’re supposed to find the witches that are threatenin
