~Malia~ James, Alex, Lydia, and I were sitting in the common area. Nobody else was there and we weren't doing anything particular. In fact, everyone sat in silence. The air around us was heavy, thick, and tense. I wanted to speak up but I knew that James was pissed about the events that occurred out in the woods. Both with the rogues but also my impromptu shifting and almost killing his mate.   I waited. I sat there, completely still in my spot. The air grew thicker and I knew it was only a matter of time before I opened my mouth. I wanted him to go first. I didn't want to disrespect him.    ”You can speak, you know,” my rampage of thoughts broke as James spoke. I shifted my gaze, looking at everyone else.  I let out a heavy sigh and straightened my back.  ”I’

~Malia~ I and Avery were in the car. The plan was to track down Amber and make sure she was okay. After a long fight between James and Avery he finally surrendered, on one condition, that three of the packs warriors came with us, which was why we were being followed by a black SUV.    ”Can you hear her?” Avery asked me as we drove down a lonesome road. She was squinting as the rain poured down and it was near imposible to see the road. Lucky for us, not many people were out driving right now. ”No,” my voice was shaking. Never in my life had I been so worried. It was a dreadful feeling to have.  Avery groaned and kept driving. I gripped the handle on the door and looked between the trusty driver and the road. She was going very fast for how the weather was right now. We could barley see the road but I didn’t want her to slow dow

~Amber~ ”Who?” My voice came out hard and confident. My anger was stirring up inside. ”You’re uncle. Carlos Knight. He was the one that turned your mate.”    A shot of pain. The stab of a knife. My insides were burning and Stella was scratching the surface. Both of us on the hinge of insanity.   ”He turned my mate? He hated them so much that he turned an innocent girl and forced war upon our kind for decades?” I was standing. My hands were balled up into fists and my voice came out in a threatening growl.  But then, as I was about to blow up, William started laughing hysterically. He bent over in laughter and dried his tear-stained eyes with the back of his hand.  ”He didn't turn the girl in spite you fool. He saved the girl. He couldn't bring himself

~Avery~ ”Sorry, first things first- hey sis, are you on speed?” Amber stopped and glared at Alex who had asked the question. Her eyes were huge and she shook her head.  Alex narrowed his eyes on her.  ”Answer with words, please,” he said slowly. ”No, I'm not on speed. I just drank a really yummy tea,” she said giddily and rolled her eyes at her brother. But then everyone's focus went back to James.   Alex came over and looked at the scratch on his brother's shoulder and then up at his brother. ”It’s not healing,”  ”It’s fine,” James tried to sound confident. ”James, you’re an Alpha and that mutt out there was a non-rank, low life, garbage eating rogue wolf. This should've been healed already.” Alex was getting frustrated, his tone was lowering and h

~Avery~ When I looked back, I saw everyone sound asleep, what made my heart stop for a second, was that I saw myself asleep too. I was laying next to Alex, his arm wrapped around my shoulders like a shield, my chest rising and falling with every breath.   The ball of light floated deeper and deeper into the forest the closer I got and I followed closely behind. When I looked back, I couldn't see the fire pit nor the packhouse, I was far into the forest. I knew this place and I knew how to navigate through it yet a weird feeling surged through my veins as the ball of light stopped. It was floating in front my face as though it tried to communicate, I reached out my hand, and when my fingers met with the light, it grew into the size of a person. I stepped back, trying to reach out to Xena but I couldn’t, she wasn't there.   I gasped in shock, a puff of smoke leaving my mouth when I saw the light melting off into pools
