"Shhh baby," He whispered, caressing my back as I sniffed trying to control my sobs. I was all strong and composed but hearing Jason talking to Connor about my safety if anything happened to him just constricted my heart in pain. This made me realize how dangerous the situation was and how it could badly harm us. I couldn't even think about losing Jason. The thought of it had my body shivering in fright. God forbid if anything happened to him I might not be able to survive the heartache. I didn't want to go down those lanes of thought. "April," Jason cupped my cheek as he pulled me back to look at my face. I lowered my head, the quivering of my chin wasn't in my control as more tears brimmed my eyes blurring my vision. He tucked my hair behind my ear, raising my face but I kept my eyes closed. I didn't want Jason to see me like this, all broken and scared because it might affect his mindset for the battle tomorrow but my emotions weren't in my control and Jason was all I had with w

I don't know for how long I stayed in the hospital helping the survivors. I was so tired. My eyes kept glancing outside hoping that Jason would show up somehow but no matter how much time passed he didn't show up. Ethan was badly injured as Susan and I were treating him. We bandaged him up and he also started to heal because I fed him some of my blood secretly when he was unconscious rather than the capsule for quick healing. Ethan was awake now. "April," He whispered as I glanced at him. "Before the battle, Jason gave me this. He wanted me to give it to you when the battle ends," He said slowly because of pain, handing me a crumpled piece of paper that I took from him. Despair shadowed his features. I took the paper from him with shaky hands. "April you should go home and rest," Susan said, rubbing my arm as I gave her a faint nod. I hobbled out of the hospital. My team members greeted me but I quietly walked past them. I took a cab home. Throughout the way, I kept staring

My head throbbed with pain as I tried to open my eyes but it felt like tons of weight was placed on my eyelids. I tried to move my body but I couldn't even raise my hand. Fleeting seconds passed by in a blur and I realized that my hands were restrained. I forced myself to wake up and with a gasp, my eyes shot open wide as I blinked several times to adjust to the darkness of the room. It took me a second to recall what had happened before I lost consciousness. Jenna called me to some place and then someone attacked me from behind. My eyes adjusted to the darkness. I found myself on the bed. I quickly got out of bed on my wobbly legs. As soon as I got to my feet I felt dizzy and fell back on the bed. I struggled against the binds on my wrists behind my back to no avail. I couldn't break them. The more I struggled the more it tightened, almost digging in my flesh. They appeared mystical. The thought that witches might've abducted me sent chills down my spine but why would Jenn

I felt weaker as the time passed. I don't know how many days have passed but I didn't have a morsel of food in my mouth. I was only ever drinking a little bit of water and nothing else but it appears like my hunger strike does not affect Damon. He won't let me go no matter how much I screamed or banged at the door. I was laying on the bed when the door opened and Jenna stepped inside. She had come yesterday as well but I didn't talk to her. I didn't want to so she left but now she was back again. "April," She called my name but I pretended to sleep. "I know you're awake," She said, coming to sit beside me as I moved away. "April please listen to me for once," She pleaded. I was about to get out of bed when she held my hands stopping me from leaving. I tried to jerk away but I barely had any strength left in me. "April, Damon is not a bad guy," She said. "Let go," I tried to free my hand but to no avail. For the past few days, I felt immensely sick and dizzy. I had no energy in

Damon left no stone unturned to spread the news of our marriage as soon as we reached the pack house. I stepped into the hall only to find Liam and Jenna there but they weren't alone. Stella stood behind Liam staring at me. I felt unsettled at the sight of her because I could still vividly recall her almost dead eyes and now here she stood alive in front of me. I noticed Liam staring at my bruises. Damon grabbed my arm as he dragged me away from them down the hall. He opened the door before tugging me inside. "This is your room, Jenna would bring you food. You're not allowed to step out of here no matter what. You can only step out with my permission," Damon said as he walked to the door. "Tomorrow, we will go on a pack tour as soon-to-be Alpha and Luna of the pack," Damon mused winking at me as he closed the door. I was disgusted by his ridiculous behavior. Once Damon closed the door I heard a clicking noise, he locked me in. I expected nothing else from him. I quickly tried to m
