Alec. I punch one of my warriors hard, feeling a sick kind of satisfaction when I hear his nose break. He groans, but that doesn't deter me. I land another blow and another until he’s on the floor. “Get up, Brady,” I commanded, but he didn’t. I know that I’m pushing him, but he’s one of my best w
Sadie A day ago. Tears formed in my eyes as I began to pack the little belongings I had. Technically speaking, they weren’t mine. Most of them are borrowed clothes from Raven, but that was beside the point. I swipe away the angry tears as I continue parking. Goddess, do I hate Alec. All that was
“This is where I say goodbye,” Beth tells us with tears in her eyes. “May the deities be with you.” I smile, fighting my own tears. “The moon goddess left me long ago… but thank you for taking me in and watching over me. I owe you and Raven my life, and I’ve come to love you as family.” “Your godd
Alec Present day “Are you sure?” I asked, standing up. My mood had already lifted, and I felt much better. Something passed in Micah’s eyes, but it was gone before I could read it. "Yes,” he gritted out through clenched teeth. "Someone has confirmed that it is indeed her." I remain quiet, study
‘On it’ Sure, Micah told me she was dead, but I wanted to see her body with my own two eyes. I also wanted our pack doctor to do a DNA test. With how advanced magic is nowadays, some could have done an illusion spell on a random dead body. Only with a DNA test would I truly know that Sadie was dead
Piper. I wandered around the pack aimlessly. I feel lost. So lost. It feels like a part of me is missing. I’ve known Sadie since we were little girls. She’s been my best friend, my confidant, and my sister. I never expected her to betray me by going after Alec. I was hurt and angry at her, but I n
We remain quiet, his warmth enveloping me, bringing a sense of comfort and peace. I could also feel Knox comforting Ash. Just like with Alec, Knox hated Sadie, but he loved his sister and would do anything to comfort her. “Is it okay if I bury her near her parents?” I asked him tiredly. “I know she
Alec I stared at the pages in the book, but nothing made any sense. For me, it’s nothing but a blur of texts and words that don’t really give me a fucking idea about what I’m dealing with. “So we still have nothing?” I asked as I stared at my beta and gamma. For fucking years, that stupid curse h
“Do you think?” she doesn’t have to finish the sentence. I know what she’s hinting at.Could it be that the veiled woman Calvin mentioned, and this masked one, are one and the same person?We had gone through the probability of the veiled woman being the one that was making the hybrid, but we never
"Man, she scares me," I heard Jason say behind me, making me smirk. "Remind me not to piss her off."When Micah came back with the torture tools, I got to work. He fought; he cursed, but none of that did anything to me. Nothing was going to stand in the way of me getting my answers.By the time I wa
“Sadie?” Raven's voice pulls me from my wandering mind. “Are you okay?”Am I okay? Definitely not.Alec managed to completely disarm me. Of course, I am not okay. What the hell am I supposed to do? I’d planned on how to deal with him because I knew how his mind worked, but now? Now, he changed the w
Alec and I look at each other, silently communicating. After a second or two, he pulls his eyes from mine and focuses on Aspen, who is holding on to him as if her life depends on it.I can see the struggle in his eyes. He doesn’t want to let go of her, but he also knows that questioning that hybrid
I stare at them, my mind racing at seeing them like this, the new discovery about Nyx temporarily forgotten. Aspen is chatting away like she’s known Alec her whole life. I can’t hear anything because my ears are ringing, but I can tell she’s probably entertaining him with stories of her adventure.A
“Who are the two girls?” I ask, fearing the answer she’ll give.“Me and my sister,” she whispers, brokenly.The air gets stuck in my throat as the words strike my already battered heart in a way I don’t understand. There is something just on the surface, but before I can fully grasp what it is, it d
I wake up a bit disoriented. My mind is a bit foggy and I can’t shake the tiredness that was weighing down my body.I hate it when this happens. You fall asleep finally, thinking that you’ll have the rest your body has been craving, only to wake up feeling more tired than you were the previous day.
I walked into my room and immediately went to the bathroom to take yet another shower. This one, unlike the previous one, was quick. I was hoping that I could wash away Alec’s burning stare and the dirt that came with dragging a hybrid through the forest. I managed to wash the dirt away, but not his
I drag the hybrid’s body, my mind full of unanswered questions. I couldn’t help thinking of the last two hybrids that attacked me and wondering whether these two incidents were somehow related.“What do you think?” I ask Nyx, not caring if the man I was dragging got hurt or not.He doesn’t really de
