JACE BALDWIN POV I ran to Carly's room with Ian hot on my heel, he was equally as anxious as I was. Carly's son had to be okay, he was our only way out. He was my hope for a better future, for a stronger Brookside pack. I know it sounds crazy for a father to want to sacrifice their child to stay alive but it needed to be done. It had to be done. My pack needed me, my friends needed me, and Addison needed me. And Carly and her child don't need you? Your child? My wolf snorted at the back of my mind. It's either that or we lose all our power, now would you want to become a weak and pathetic wolf? Let me guess from a big bad Alpha wolf to a nonentity. Is that what you want, huh? Because I certainly don't wish that for myself." I snapped back before blocking him out. I could feel him push his irritation on me, I can't deal with him at the moment. I had more pressing issues. In Carly's room, I caught a glimpse of the broken plate of food and glass of milk on the floor, maybe Alic

CARLY WOODS POV In the last 5 days, I was stuck in a room with nothing but my mind to keep me busy. I wanted to go out, oh, how I missed the feel of the fresh evening breeze on my skin as I sat in the garden.Thankfully, the pain in my head had slowly died out and my ankle was healing fast, thanks to whatever medication doctor Allen gave me.Well, now I could move around with a clutch. Even though I couldn't shift, I still healed faster than a regular human because of my werewolf blood but I was surprised at how quickly my injuries were healing."I want to go out," I murmured as Jace was about to step out of my room. Jace came a few minutes ago to check how I was doing and I was hoping he'd let me go out for even an hour, I needed to breathe fresh air, I needed to feel the heat of the sun on my skin again, to feel the wind clashing against me as it whips my hair in whichever direction it pleased.Jace halted his steps, hand on the doorknob, shoulders growing rigid."Run that again b

CARLY WOODS POV "Oh, come on I can't swallow another spoon of anything, I'm already stuffed up," I whine with a pout lowering my spoon in the wooded tray, stretching out my arms and body in an awkward position until I heard a few cracks. Hmm, that felt so good. As the doctor had explained I wasn't allowed to move around so my ankle could heal properly. But, me being me, tried getting up to prove that I was fine and ended up tumbling on the floor because of the pain that shot through me. Damn, I didn't know it was that bad. Since I wasn't blessed in the luck department, Jace had sauntered in a few seconds later to see me writhing in pain on the floor. To say he was furious would be the understatement of the century. He went all 'I told you to stay in bed' speech on me, telling me how I was trying to defy him which would only get me punished, and that he'd let this one slide since I was already damaged. "You either eat on your own or suffer through as I feed you." There was a warni

My hand shot up to clutch my head, in an attempt to relieve the pain even in the slightest bit.Slowly, the events crashed down on me as I remembered how horrible my morning was. To think my day started with a slight happiness.Nate had attacked me and then played it out to be my fault at his friend's arrival.The cold look Jace had sent my way probably was what made me pass out completely. Yes, I was injured and was losing more blood than could be considered medically safe and I felt dizzy yet I still fought to stay awake, I fought the hazy feelings but one cold look from that stormy sea-green orb made shivers run down my spine. I couldn't stand being on the receiving end of his anger so passing out was the safest thing my weak body could adopt to keep us safe.I tried opening my eyes but my lids seemed to be too heavy for me to manage. Gro
