~Gabby’s POV~ The ceiling was the only thing I had been watching for the last couple of days. People had come up with food and drinks and then came back later to take back the full trays. It wasn't that I couldn't eat, it was that I couldn't move. Not a single muscle in my body was functioning as it used to. Maybe they did but I just didn't want them to. I used to have a lust for life, a sense of wonder and curiosity but that was all gone. The one thing that had kept me alive through all of the pain and abuse I had gone through, it was gone. And I didn’t know how to live without it anymore…I didn’t know if I wanted to live anymore. The door opened up and a little light seeped through the crack of the door from the lamp in the hallway. I felt the bed dip down and heard the crunch of bags being placed down on the bed. Cans of sodas were placed there as well and the tv was turned on and lit up the dark room. She sniffled and wiped her nose. ”We don't have to talk, you don't hav

~Aiden’s POV~ ”That’s enough!” Everyone around me kept yelling. Three guards were holding back Nick and Noah, or at least so they thought. The guys could've broken free easily had they sensed a real threat. My pack members and the warriors were all trying to interfere, believing that I was actually killing Edmund which I could understand. Blood was dripping down his chest from the claw marks. A big flesh wound went from his shoulder down to his elbow and he was limping. His nose was facing the wrong way from being broken…two times. His eye was swollen and I wasn't slowing down. I threw a quick glance over at Noah who had gotten too quiet for my liking. He was looking between me and Edmund with a worried frown on his face. We were all waiting for her to come to Edmund's rescue. Cassy had opened the window last night when Gabby was asleep. I thought she'd be here by now but I couldn't stop. I looked back at Edmund and narrowed my eyes. Nick grew silent as well and cast me a warn

~Gabby’s POV~ ”Do you feel like doing anything special today?” Cassy asked me as I walked outside the house.”I was thinking about shifting and going for a run,” Her eyes lit up and I knew she wanted to come along but I wanted to go alone. ”What’s her name?” She asked me. "Whose name?" I asked her."Your wolf, what's her name?"That’s when I remembered that I hadn't even asked my wolf what her name was. What is your name?’Lela’ ”Her name is Lela,” ”The run, do you want to go alone?” She asked and looked a little unsure of herself. I parted my lips, about to say yes. ’Bring her along’I don’t want anyone to tag along’It’ll be fun’For who?’Have you ever seen her wolf?’ I hadn’t. I had never seen Cassy’s wolf.”Uhm, you can come,” I said and she smiled. Relief washed over her body and her shoulders relaxed.”Ready?” Cassy asked me and I nodded my head. We shifted and took off running.It had been a week since my birthday and I had been spending a lot of my time alone. A few o

~Gabby’s POV~I had just come back from a run and was taking shower. I ran my hands through my wet hair and soaped up my body. The feeling of the warm water against my bones was amazing. They softened and the soreness disappeared.Lela had been begging for another run ever since we came back. She had immense energy that I just couldn't keep up with.But feeling her emotions and her freedom when on a run put a smile on my face. She was fast, strong, and very much an Alphas wolf. She had this aura around her which demanded respect and without even trying people just knew her power. I walked out into the room with the towel wrapped around my body. I looked around and saw the empty walls and then made the bed. The curtains were pulled to the sides. I hadn't been able to do that until today. The sun streamed in and filled the room with a bright light.It was hard to believe that things were moving forward. In one way I was happy about it because it felt like my life was actually continuin

~Gabby’s POV~The tension in the office was rising and we were all on edge. Noah was going over our parent's words in his head and he couldn't believe what they had planned.Nick was standing there looking stoic and Aiden was staring at him with his arms crossed over his chest. ”No one knew what they were going to do but it’s done,” I said. I hoped that maybe I could ease the tension and soften everything up. They were getting agitated and I could see the battle of dominance happening between Nick and Aiden. ”Guys, stop,” I placed my hand on Aidens arm and pushed him back softly.”You really had no idea?” Aiden asked my brothers. ”How could we?””Yeah, do we look like a happy-go-lucky family who shares everything? Cause if that’s the impression you’ve gotten then you’re fucking blind,” Cassy stood up when her phone rang and she went outside. The door closed and I looked around at everyone. ”We need a plan.” Nick said and looked at me. ”For what?””When they find out that their
