Staying connected to Tristan felt like a silver shard lodged in the bloodstream. Sure, a small part of me longed for him but the rest of me absolutely loathed the Vampire. I felt no animosity or distain towards Alpha Asher, as his touch and presence seemed to consume me entirely.
Still, I couldn't deny that staying connected to Tristan didn't have its benefits. If I man
After our individual conversations with Tyler and Brittany, Alpha Asher cancelled training for the day. As we emerged from the basement, Luna Freya stood in the living room, eyeing us warily."I trust my daughter isn't being tortured down there." Luna Freya grimaced, scowling at the basement door.
Breyona's P.o.vMy mind was reeling the entire drive back to our pack's territory. While I felt horrible for Mason and what we had just witnessed, the only thing on my mind was Giovanni.

With his arms wrapped around me, and the heat from his body warming my bones, I closed my eyes and thought of Tristan.It was harder than I expected, tapping into that sliver of myself, the part of me that longed for Tristan. Hour after hour passed as I stared at the backs of my eyelids, until a
Asher had set to work the moment he returned from Brittany's cell. Luna Freya had managed to free Brittany and kill the guards. Upon further investigation, one of the patrol teams on the western side of his territory had been killed. We could only assume Luna Freya had been working with the Vampire's and used them to free Brittany.Without Tyler, we hadn't a clue why Br
