AVA"You don't look like you would hurt a fly ? " she shrugs at me. " But she has all of your women's magic and her sisters , she is powerful and she's conniving. What if we lose ?" I asked her and her eyes softened. " I have not seen the entire pack that we are in , but I have seen enough to know you are surrounded. She is but one woman. Why do you all fear her so much ? " she asks and her questions stumped me into silence. So she continues to talk. " You have magic , so do the other girls that woke us. You are not defenseless ", she states." I know that " I was about to answer, but she cut me off. " Do you know that ? Because if you had known that you would already be fighting her back , would you not ? " I nodded dumbly. " Yea , I mean no. But shit . We have just been letting this all happen. We were so scared they would beat us. They lived with us for weeks and we did nothing. Always waiting. Too scared " I said quietly. " To lose people ? "she asked and I nodded again." You, my

DEREK I never knew being the Alpha of a pack can be this strenuous . Dad usually does it effortlessly, he carried everyone's burden like he was born for the role . Meanwhile I was here being worn out , but I couldn't get tired because Ava needs me more than she needs anyone else . We were literally running around the pack , until Ava looked ready to drop from exhaustion. After a lot of coaxing, I managed to convince her she needed some rest. It took a lot of work , everyone was on a very high alert about whether Sabrina would come back. Ava still needed to release the magic to the goddess , but one thing after another just kept coming up. To where it was now almost three in the morning. We were stopping at the pack house where we could all keep close. I think that was the only way she would settle, at least hopefully a little bit.By the time I got her to our room , she was pretty much asleep on her feet. Adrenaline had been running that high , she was now crashing. We all were. Bu

Once we were behind the door , it took a while for them all to become coherent. They were dazed and foggy , and weak. Some could hardly even stand. They'd been laid down for so long , I was surprised they even remembered how. " We need to get them some food and water down here , they may even need a doctor ", I said, worriedly, watching them. " Let's wait to see how they react first before we put a doc in the room with them " Derek said from behind me. " They're human Derek , what can they do if you have warriors standing guard " I tried to reason with him. Well I was the emotional one and Derek was the logical one so definitely we would clash here and there . " I'm going to go back to the hospital. Do you want me to send a doctor down here ? "Vee asked us . I was about to answer yes , but Derek spoke first. " Hold the doctor , but will you go ask Adrian if he will arrange for food and drinks to be brought down, please Vee ", she looked at him a little fearful. The concept of her goi

The women and concubines we took from the castle had these gloomy looks on their faces like they would be gone anytime soon , I actually felt an urge to release them but I don't work on my own here even though I'm the alpha of alphas I can't skip the authority figures in my life, and honestly I'm greatly for people around me , they help correct my head when I'm about acting irrationally." Can we even remove the spell put on them ? " I asked Nimue . Looking at all the immobile bodies through the cell door was creepy. It made shivers run down my spine just being down here. " We should be able to , but some spells can be tricky. It can be hard to undo another witch's spell. At least for us , I don't want to keep tapping into the moon goddess's magic. The quicker we give it back the better". I heard some shouting further down the hall. The alpha and Derek were talking to someone through the door. Walking over , I went to see what the fuss was about. Getting closer, I heard the one voice

" Nimue, I need them back. Let's just go after her now. We have your magic. I can feel the strength of it running through my veins. We can kill her ourselves ", I said to her while I paced through the room. I could feel Derek's eyes tracking me and I was doing my best to block my thoughts from him. He wouldn't agree with this. " And for good reason he wouldn't. "Ava, What have I been saying this whole time? I have always run into things alone , not relying on others. For me to stay, I have to prove that I no longer need this magic. Not all of it anyway. To go to her now and deal with her ourselves, that will prove the balance keepers right. We need to give the magic back and deal with her with what's left and with our mate and family and friends. Ava , I don't want to have to leave again" she said sadly.I groaned inwardly. " If we give it back now, she will kill them ", I told her. " She won't know , Ava , I think you see us as giving it back, as we will be weak again. We are the tru

"You mean that's not Adrian?" . I asked and Ava shook her head . "We need to go". She clapped her hands again and as soon as she got back , we were surrounded by everyone at the pack including Adrian . He was standing in front of me . "What the hell is going on?" I asked Ava . "We didn't have a choice. When she took you away we began to come up with different plans , and different ideas were coming up . Then Seth brought up the Idea of us distracting her while I went and got Nimue's magic." As I was trying to get everything she was saying, I noticed she was looking at me , from head to toe ,and the next minute I saw that I was putting on boxers ."Sabrina will figure everything out soon , she would know it's Seth and not Adrian and I fear for his life . She had said she wanted me to get the magic , what does that even mean ? She had Fay. Fay shook her head . It was as if I was dreaming because why did no one seem bothered about Sabrina's sister Fay standing with us . I think I pretty
