Abbie's POVMy eyes widen in shock as Matisa holds the amulet proudly and smirks. "I gotta thank you, Elora. For a while, I feared what would happen if Abigail knew who she was and if her powers awakened before I could see Elena again. But I wasn't counting on her being so stupid to lose the only thing that could help awaken her powers. Seems... she worked in my favor!" Matisa says, chuckling.Matisa grabs Anthony by his hair, making him scream in pain. "No!" I yell, holding my hand out. She jerks her hand up, making me fall back from the force. She had struck me with her magic right over my chest. The impact was so hard that it felt like I had been hit by a car. "Abbie!" Hunter calls out, running to my aid. "No, no, no!" Matisa says mockingly as she smacks her teeth and waves her finger, striking me again. This caused me to fly across the room again and land on a table, smashing everything. "Stop it! Don't touch her. This is between you and us, Matisa. Leave my daughter out of th
Abbie's POVI grit my teeth as I look toward the exit. The room is now destroyed, at least most of it is, anyway. There's debris everywhere, and even the king ended up getting hurt by all the shit that flew everywhere. I can't help the fury building in me, making me fist my hands. My aura slowly dims away, making me gasp as I fall to my knees and cry. "Abbie, we will find her. I promise we will get Anthony back. I promise!" Elora says, making me angry again. I lose control over my anger, grabbing her by her throat and lifting her off the floor. My aura ignites again, making her eyes widen in shock. "Abbie...please... she has... my sister...too!" she says, struggling to breathe as I tighten my grip on her neck. My nails elongated, puncturing her skin, making her eyes go to the back of her neck as she began to turn purple. "Abbie! No. She's... she's your mom!" Titus says as he looks at me worriedly, making me growl. "You listen to me, Elora. If Matisa dares hurt Anthony or she doe
AbbieI know we were on a tight, very tight schedule here. But I had to stop and tell Hunter the truth. The real plan that Elora, Elena, and I had worked out. He was pretty mad at first. We had acted so well that he and everyone believed it, too. But now that he knew, it all made sense to him. “If you ever keep me from something like this, I’ll make sure to punish you for it, Abigail. Which means after this, you’ll be punished, you understand? Punished!” he says as we walk out of the storage, all geared up with weapons and armed to the brink. “I know. Again, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to keep you out; it was Elora’s idea for us to sell it,” I said, making him angrier. He throws his belt filled with extra bullets in the back of the SUV with a loud thud, making me look at him with regret. “Elora? Elora? I'm your husband, Abbie! I mean… I will be… am… whatever! Just…don't keep things like this from me, ok? I love you, Abbie. I don't want to see you and my family hurt.” he says, wrapping
Elora's POVWe ran through the dense forest until we finally reached where Matisa and her clan hid. I have gathered that Matisa came to a neighboring Pack near Hunter's pack just a few months after Abbie disappeared.She disguised herself as the Luna of their pack after she killed the real Luna. That's when all the kidnappings began to rise in numbers again. She didn't find an end to her insatiable desire to eat souls. And given her hatred toward our kind, she relished the thought of eating their souls. It was like killing two birds with one stone. She was filling her darkness and killing our kind as well. Santiago played a great part in all this. She had made a pact with different alphas for years, promising them power and sleeping with them. They fell deeply into her trap, and she ensured they were cast under her love spell. Whatever she commanded of them- they did. And that included kidnapping girls from all over. But when most of the alphas were taken down, thanks to Hunter an
Abbie's POV"We're close. I see it. They're right ahead!" Kaiden yells through our mind link as we continue to run. I looked up, and I could see the war unfolding. But my eyes widen as I hear Elora yelling, and a giant bird-like creature flies high up, holding Anthony in his claws, making my eyes widen in horror. "Hunter!" I yell, making him look up. I shift onto Merida, and Titus comes out, running at full speed. "Hurry, when I strike, you need to catch him, ok?" Titus says as my nerves go wild. Merida nods and runs at full speed. I see Matisa. She's strangled Elora with one hand using her magic, and she's holding Elena in the other hand. Elena's aura is weak; I can see it, which means she was probably poisoned. But my main concern is Anthony right now. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Auntie. "Don't worry, you go get Anthony. I will take care of this bitch." Emily says as she shifts onto her white wolf. My eyes widen as I see her. "She... she looks just like me. I thought... I was
Abbie's POVMatisa looked my way menacingly and fisted her hands. "You just don't know when to give up, do you? Don't say I didn't warn you to stay away, you stupid bitch. I'll make you pay for coming here and trying to sabotage my plans. That throne should have been mine. Our grandmother was stupid to have married that mutt. But rest assured, the throne will be mine, and not you or anyone will stand in my way!" Matisa says as she looks at me with rage. The aura exuding from her hands intensifies, and she smirks at me as if she had already triumphed over me. I can hear something slowly crawl behind me and see the vines creeping up behind me. She was using her herbal spell, making a vine creep up behind me in an attempt to strangle me, but unfortunately for her. I had a counterspell to get rid of her vine. She yells, and the vine quickly dashes toward me, but I move, lifting my hand toward one of her top witches. Using telekinesis, I pull the witch toward me, causing the vine to pi
Hunter's POVThe battle was getting out of hand. Time and time again, we were being attacked by warlocks who would shapeshift into different creatures. They were stronger than I had anticipated, but I managed to tell the difference between Warlock and Santiago. Just as I thought we were done for, Santiago shifted back to a minotaur again, charging toward me. "Hunter, watch out!" Alarick yells, holding his hand out. "Not today, asshole!" I hear Axel suddenly come into view. He charges behind the minotaur, jumping into the air, grabbing the monster by the horns, and pulling him down. I shift onto Titus and launch toward them, snapping my snout; I grip the minotaur's neck and bite down hard. I could feel the canines pierce its skin, giving it a guttering growl. Axel finishes him off, hitting him on the back of his neck, making me snap the whole head off of him. The head falls to the ground, making it roll away. "That's what you get for laying your filthy hands on my son, asshole!" I
Abbie's POV "Sweetheart... it's okay. It's okay. You did really good today, Abbie. I know this is hard, but this is the way things had to end. There was no other way. She would have continued to kill innocent girls if we hadn't ended things this way. I'm so proud of you," Elora says as she kneels beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. I sniffled, shutting my eyes, and leaned into Hunter's chest. My hot tears continued to roll down uncontrollably. I felt Hunter's warm thumbs gently wipe my tears. He kissed my head and rested his chin where he had left his kiss. Despite the sorrowful agony inside, his embrace made me feel a little comfort as our spark ignited inside me. "I know. I just... I can't help but feel so guilty. I know Matisa was a sadistic, evil witch. She deserved what was coming to her. But I truly wished none of these witches had followed her blindly. So many of them died for her sake. And then there's Analise. I wish she were alive. We could have been good friends
