He pauses, then continues, “My father never mentioned the secret room again, and I forgot about it. That was until I had this dream where he was telling me to check the secret room he’d told me about. At first, I wanted to ignore the dream, but the feeling of checking it out just kept nagging me unt
It’s been two days since our minds were blown away by new revelations. The more things were revealed, the more complicated they became. It seemed like we were wrong about so many things. The only thing that we were right about was the damn curse.I push Knox harder as he runs through the trees, dodg
“We need to go back and start preparations,” I said, breaking the silence after we’d been there for some time.Thankfully, Knox doesn’t argue. He just stood up and started the trot back home. Despite everything, we felt more at ease. I know it’s only for a while before restlessness takes over, but i
I walk through the airport with my beta and gamma by my sides. Some of my warriors were accompanying us. It’s always wise to be careful. You may never know when trouble will arise. It took us almost two hours to get here, and we still had a long way to go. To say I’m irritable would be an understa
I hate it when people answer a question with a question. “Yeah, I have some business to discuss with The Hope Pack’s Alpha. I’m headed there right now.” I hear her squeal loudly, and I’m forced to pull the handset away from my ear so that I don’t damage my ears. “Piper, you’re going to make me de
Sadie“Watch him carefully,” Nyx murmured, looking at John as if we were prey and we were the predators. “See how he is favoring one side?” she asked.I nodded my head. “Yes.”“His other side is the opening you need. If you can land a strong kick to the left, then you’ll take him by surprise long en
It was a lie, but I didn’t know what else to tell her. The two had bonded so fast, just like she had bonded with her aunt Rave and uncle King.Just like she’d promised, Beth had found us after things had settled. No one knows how, and she refused to tell us. She stayed with us, but around mid-last y
Raven. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think that things would go to shit the way they were going right now. I’m a witch, a special witch, as my mom used to tell me. I got that odd feeling first thing when I opened my eyes. That heavy weight on my chest, that premonition of something bad hap
AlecThe conference room was silent, the kind of silence that amplifies every thought, every heartbeat. Everyone had dispersed—Raven with the elders, Micah and Jason to rally the warriors. That left Sadie and me alone, the air between us thick with unspoken words and unresolved tension.I stood by t
Micah was the one to respond this time, arms crossed over his chest. “That’s the point, isn’t it? Keep everyone in the dark long enough to move undetected. She probably knew we’d catch on eventually, so she built this army as a distraction. A shield. While we’re too busy fighting off her hybrids, sh
SadieThey were all staring at me now. My words hung in the air like a dense fog, the weight of my suspicion pressing down on everyone in the room. I could see it in their eyes—confusion, shock, and a hesitant flicker of understanding starting to form.Before anyone could speak, Raven's voice cut in
“Wait,” Raven said slowly, breaking the stunned silence. Her voice was low, exhausted, but clear. “Did Nyx actually tell you that Kaden and Xena are connected?”I looked at her.“No,” I said. “She didn’t have to.”Raven frowned. “Then how—?”“It was in the way she felt.” My fingers curled around the
“We reached out to other packs,” added Elder Thorn, his tone clipped with frustration. “We thought perhaps they’d have some forgotten text buried in their vaults. But even with access granted, we came up empty.”“There’s no record of Kaden,” said Elder Mira, her silver braid falling over her shoulde
SadieRaven and I sat side by side in the large conference room. Last night, before Alec left my room after kissing Aspen goodnight, he had reminded me of today’s meeting. Something that I had completely forgottenThe room was quiet, thick with silence and tension that sat heavy on everyone’s should
“We haven’t confirmed she’s Nyx’s sister,” I reminded him. “That’s just a theory.”“Yeah,” Jason said. “But it feels right. I can’t explain it. I can’t stop thinking of her that way.”He wasn’t wrong. The moment the idea got rooted in my mind, it made sense. There were no coincidences. Everything po
Alec.The evening mist clung to the trees like breath on glass—thick and heavy. The last light of the sun bled across the sky, casting everything in gold and shadow. My warriors moved through it like ghosts, their grunts and the sharp smack of fists against flesh breaking through the quiet. I watche
“I’m not trying to win you back because of Calvin,” she said, her voice steadier now. “I’m here because I miss you, Sadie. I miss my best friend.”And then, just like that, she turned and walked away—rushing out of the library before I could even respond.She hadn’t waited for forgiveness.Just like
