~Katarina~That… that… BITCH! That stupid ass bitch! I never thought I’d feel this way about my best friend- well, my former best friend. I never thought I’d refer to her like this, but here we are. She’s a first-class, grade-A bitch, and I never knew that before. I guess when you are friends with someone, you ignore the red flags. She’s trying to play us. I know that, Hope. Even if we hadn’t had that premonition, I would still know that. She makes her disdain for us too obvious. Hope retreats in my mind as I make my way to my home. I need a good shower and a change of clothes. I need to wrap my head around everything that’s going on, and I need to figure out my next step.Thankfully, my aunt and uncle aren’t home when I get there. I really didn’t want to run into them because I don’t know what to tell them. I jump in the shower, letting the hot water fall over me.Out of nowhere, warm hands start to touch my body as the sparks cause my core to heat up. “How are you here?” Aston’s ha

~Tatiana~I have no idea how long I’ve been pacing out here, but I’m getting tired of it. I’m outside of the clinic, waiting for Katarina to appear. I was told this is where she’s been for a while now, and I figured this was the best place to run into her.I honestly have no idea how to go about this. I made a spectacle out of confronting her. I’ve even done it in front of others. I don’t know how I’m meant to go back on that and try to be friends again. All I know is that this is what King wants, and he’s my fated mate. I can’t deny him.I’ve wondered how I ended up here, and I don’t really have an answer to that. Katarina has been my best friend all my life, but at some point, I grew to resent her. I’m not entirely sure when it happened; I just couldn’t keep sitting back and watching her get all the attention.Finding out King was my mate ended up being everything I wanted, and then he went after her. I want King to myself; I mean, he is my fated mate. If I do this, if I get close t

~Topaz~All eyes turn to me as I walk through the door. Tensions are pretty high, but I guess that’s to be expected. I look past everyone to the man in the bed. It looks like someone did a number on him, and I feel bad about it. “I have a few witches coming here to put a protection spell over the pack. Hopefully, that will keep Chandra out.” I walk closer to the bed and feel the residual magic in the air. “This man was attacked with magic. I can do a quick spell to help him recover.”No one says anything, so I step forward and hold my hands over his body. I say a short chant and then pull my hands back. He won’t be better immediately, but he will have a better chance at survival.I turn to the woman staring at me as if she wants to ask a million and one questions. I walk over to her and close my eyes, trying to get a feel of her. It doesn’t take long, and I open my eyes to look at Aston. “She isn’t an impostor, in case you were wondering.” He nods, and I take a step back. “About the o

~Shawna~My entire world is crashing down around me, and I don’t know how to make it right. I can’t feel my mate, and Sable can’t contact Jett. I’m sure that whatever happened, wolfsbane was involved. I can only hope that my mate is okay, but hoping is just not enough for me.I follow Katarina and Aston to see the body that was found. I should probably go home, but I know I would be useless against the emptiness that would be waiting for me. We have to sit for a while to allow the doctors to check him out. “How are you holding up?” I’m startled at the sound of Katarina’s voice. She’s standing over me, holding a paper cup in her hand. She holds it out to me, and I take it, breathing in the aroma of freshly ground coffee.“Thanks.” I sigh and grip the cup as tightly as I can, with it being made of paper. “I’m in a fog if I’m being honest. I really don’t know what to do right now.” Katarina is unable to respond because the doctors pick that moment to come out. We follow them back to the

~Eddie~My body is thrown on a rickety bed. As I make contact, a cloud of dust floats up, causing me to go into a coughing fit. “I know you were awake.” That's a voice I'd known for most of my life. I don't care how old I get or how long I go without hearing it. It's a voice that has gotten me through some good and bad times. It's the voice I clung to when I didn't know if I could survive the day, let alone the hour. “I was going to get on Chandra. For a while there, I thought she went a bit too far with the magic.” I say nothing, and it isn’t just because I'm fucking pissed. I say nothing because what the fuck am I supposed to say?If you had asked me months ago what I thought about this man, I'd have said that Blake is more than the best friend a guy could have. I'd have said that he's a brother to me, and I would have been lost without him. I may not have survived without him. Now, today, I don't know who the fuck he is.He clears his throat, and I can feel his eyes on me. “Come on

~Katarina~I say nothing, keeping my eyes on her while making sure no emotions show on my face. I just don’t understand it. We’ve been friends all our lives, and I never knew she could be like this with me. I feel foolish and betrayed. “Well? Can we talk?” I lean back in my seat and get comfortable.“There’s nothing stopping you. Say what you need to say.” Tatiana closes her eyes and shakes her head. She opens her eyes and looks at Aston before looking back at me.“I was hoping that we could speak privately.” I didn’t mean for it to happen, but a scoff escapes my lips.“Talk privately, like you attacked me privately?” I swear I see anger flash in her eyes, but it’s gone much too quickly. I’m almost certain that my dream was a premonition, so I’m not going to be caught off guard by her.“Please. I know I don’t deserve it, but please.” I swear her teeth are clenched as she talks to me, but I’m not completely sure. I look over to Aston to see his eyes glazed over. When they clear, he has

6 Months Later~Paul~It’s been six long months, and Nikki still hasn’t woken up. Owlyn has been here and tried to get a response from her. Nothing has worked because she says it has nothing to do with magic. The doctors don’t have an answer, and I’m just lost without her.I knew she shouldn’t have volunteered. I felt in my heart that it wasn’t the right choice, but what could I do? I love her with everything I have, and I couldn’t tell her not to do what her heart said was the right thing.I run my hands through my hair and then over my face. I haven’t left her side in six months, and I’m beyond tired of seeing these walls. My sons have tried to get me to leave, and so has Tia. I refuse them because this is where I’m meant to be. As long as my heart is here, I will be here. Tia has been here often and has brought our grandchild, but besides those visits, it’s just been Nikki and me. I refuse to believe that I finally found my fated mate just to lose her so quickly.I put my head in m

~Devonte~The pain in my heart is all-consuming. I want the pain to stop, but I don’t know how to make that happen. I curl up tighter, hoping that the pressure will help with the pain. It’s all too much, and I don’t know what to do to make it better.Abe has gone silent, and I’m not surprised. He’s been struggling the most, and I have no words to soothe him. I wish I could wake up yesterday when things were what they were. I’d give anything to go back.“BROTHER?! BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU?!” I curl up tighter as if that’s going to keep me from being found. I don’t think I can handle the words and emotions that will surely follow my brother. I can’t take what that would mean.His thudding footsteps get closer and closer. I know I can’t hide myself; there’s no way to become invisible. I can’t keep this from happening. I hold my breath, waiting for the inevitable. “D, I found you. I’ve been looking everywhere. Our mate, she needs us. She needs you.” I’m trying to block out his words, but I’m

~Third Person~Everything seemed to happen all at once. Andricia is thrown against a tree trunk and curls up with a whimper. The pain is too much, causing Andricia to shift back into Tia. The twins witness this, and all restraint is lost. They shift and run at Imogene, who quickly wraps them up in blue light.Nikki hasn’t taken her eyes off Imogene, so she’s ready to interfere. As she shoots her light at Imogene, it strikes her in the stomach. Imogene is taken off guard and loses her grip on the twins. They fall to the ground and falter as they try to get on their feet. Eventually, they gain their footing and try to attack Imogene again.Imogene defends herself, reduced to hand-to-hand combat with the edge of magic. She repeatedly strikes the wolves as they throw themselves at her. They are taking a lot of punishment, but they refuse to stop. Their only goal is to defend their love, though they’d rather take the time to see about her.The group is joined by vampires and rogues alike.

~Jenna~I scramble backward, making sure my back is flush against the tree trunk. I try to quiet my breathing, but it's proving to be a task. I search around me, but there’s only darkness. The night air is still filled with the sounds of a battle, but I can’t see what’s going on.“Ughhhhh.” I slap my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stay quiet. I look down and see the bright red blood. I shut my eyes tight and try to think about anything else. If I freak out right now, I won’t be able to get back to safety.Every inch of my body hurts, but I can’t think about that now. I need to get out of here and make it back to the packhouse. I struggle to my feet, using only my right arm. My left just hangs against my body. Every twist and turn of my body brings a wave of excruciating pain, but I have to ignore it right now.I finally get to my feet and stand against the tree trunk. My breathing is erratic, and my chest is heaving up and down. “Where’d she go? I don’t see her.”“Sniff her out.”

~Aida~I’m applying pressure to my sister’s neck, and I feel her body giving in. This is so easy it’s pathetic. I would have thought that she would have trained during my absence. She had to know that I would return, and with my return would come the fight for her life. I guess having a brain doesn’t guarantee that you’ll use it.Portia’s body slumps to the ground, and her breathing gets heavier. I swear she’ll be dead in a minute. While part of me is rejoicing, the other part of me feels that she’d be getting off too easily. She’s the cause of all my problems, even the cause of Adela’s death. I may have administered the final blow, but it wouldn’t have come to that if she hadn’t disrupted our plans.Portia completely falls under, and I let her go with a thud on the ground. I get to my feet and walk around her limp body. Her breathing is shallow, so I know I can still play around with her before I kill her. I just need to figure out what games will be fun to engage in.I walk around h

~Ivan~One of the twins lunges at me, and I step out of the way. The other twin moves toward me, causing me to dodge slightly. This can’t be how they expect to beat me. If things continue this way, I’m going to win without breaking a sweat.I don’t want to spend a lot of time with these two. I need to go find Aida and so help anyone who has tried to put their hands on her. No one will hurt my love and live to tell the tale. I’d scorch the Earth before I let anyone hurt her.These imbeciles are staring at me but have stopped lunging. I guess they realize that it’s useless. It doesn’t matter what they do to me, they won’t win. I’m a vampire, so my natural state is on a different level. On top of that, I’ve been around for a long time. There isn’t much that I haven’t seen before, so they are hard-pressed to find something new to throw at me. “We’re wasting time, boys. I have more pressing matters.” I flip two fingers in the air back and forth. I hear reinforcements moving in. “Let me jus
