For the first time in a long time, I was stunned speechless.
Kaden and Kace left as swiftly as they had come, leaving Lucy and I confused beyond belief. His words of warning took a few moments to fully develop in my mind, as I sink down to sit on the log. He wants me dead. Either that, or he wants me locked away forever in his Pack filled with sickening murderers.
Real murderers.
"I don't think we have a choice," I hear Lucy say from behind me. I hate that I had trusted Kace. It had been a detailed game for Kaden since that night two weeks ago.
What has he been doing since? Hanging around the Purity Pack watching me, or terrorizing the innocent members of this Pack.
"We aren't going," I growl, knowing what my sister wants.
It wouldn't be giving Rylan the satisfaction, he doesn't care

~DawnI shudder at the sight of the closed door. It's a symbol of finality.If I tried to get Lucy to stop cutting the circulation off in my hand, I would have to pry her fingers off with some vicious tool. She hates the idea of being trapped as much as I do, and not knowing what is in our futures is yet another daunting thought.Rylan regards us silently, waiting for the right moment to bring up the questions he is so desperately wanting to berate us with. He knows he is walking on eggshells."You don't have to explain," Rylan says smoothly. I can tell that's his way of making me feel comfortable, yet I can still see in his eyes that he is fighting curiosity. I don't blame him. I'm sure the last thing he would expect from me is to show up at his door after this entire pursuit thing we have had going.

~DawnThat night, I dreamt of when Rylan and I first met."It's our only choice," I hear her murmur lowly. I keep my head behind the wall, trying my best not to be tempted to look around the corner.My father sighs. "She won't like it. They won't like it."My nails dig into the wall. I know what they are talking about. It's only been a week since we first arrived in the Purity Pack, and they are already talking about shipping Lucy and I off to some boarding school at the end of the Pack. It makes me ill just thinking of being locked up in school to pray to a Goddess I don't believe in."It doesn't matter what they like or not," mother says insistently. "They come from the Desire Pack. They need to be raised proper from now on. They need to be put in their place.My teeth grind against each other as I continue to clench my jaw. It's

~Dawn"Let's make a deal," I say firmly, planting my hands on the table in front of him.Rylan looks up at me in surprise, clearly not expecting me to come down here at this time of night. The last time I saw him, we had been sitting on the bed talking about how he may not be a very good Alpha. Moments later, I must have fallen into slumber, since I can't remember a thing after that. Well, aside from the dream.His silvery blue eyes glint in the lamp light. "A deal?""Yes," I breathe. "A deal."His mouth twists slightly as he mulls over my words, then he motions over to the seat in front of him, careful not to spill the dark liquid in his glass. I take a moment before I back up, sinking into the seat without taking my eyes off his."You should be in bed," he says, raising a dark eyebrow. I shrug carelessly, trying to act as if crawling out of bed at midnight

~Dawn"I'm fine, Dawny. I understand why you want to do this."I gaze down at my young sister, all dressed up and looking pretty. She suits this lifestyle, I have decided, and I'm going to make sure she finds someone who will take care of her and let her do as she pleases. Her mate, or not."Rylan even came to see me," she adds, hoping off her bed to wander of to her vanity. It's strange how this all belongs to her now. "He said I can go anywhere on his property. Inside, even the gardens.""It doesn't bother you that you can't go outside anymore? Into the forest, I mean?"Lucy shakes her head at me, picking the hairbrush up to run it through her hair. Had she been lying to me when she told me she loved the freedom over a conventional lifestyle? Her beauty at least will help her fit in here. Those doe eyes and that button nose. She is only young, but I can already see her being so

~DawnI find myself chuckling after the words came out of his mouth.He wants me to make Rylan sin."Rylan murdered people," I tell Fate, although he doesn't look convinced. "I heard it myself. Everyone in this Pack is terrified of him.""He never killed those people with his own hands, Dawn," he said tenderly, as if it would rip me open to hear him say that. In actual fact, I found myself beyond confused. I know what I heard, and it was terror. "He's an Alpha. He gets people to do his dirty work for him."Of course. "Maybe he indirectly caused the murder, but he still did. It was his idea. I don't know about this strange guy you speak of, but that sounds a lot like one of the biggest sins in the book."Fate shakes his head in the way that makes you feel as if you said something beyond stupid."That isn't what Sinful wants," Fate tells me

~DawnDays past by quickly. Most of which, I was spending in my room, trying to hide away from the mortification Rylan out me through when he shut down all chance for Fate's idea to work out. I'm happy only seeing him at mealtimes.However, staying in my room is starting to have an unwanted effect on me. And by unwanted, I mean I'm tearing my hair out in irritation. Being locked up anywhere is not fun.For Lucy, though, it is.Fate did a real number on her. He's managed to convince her that being inside is not only safe, but desirable. Sometimes I'm tempted to slap her across the face to shock some sense into her. It almost seems as though she wears a smile across her face to taunt me.As long as she is happy, I remind myself everyday.

~DawnThe riddle made no sense as I read it in my mind.Untouchable as unseen,a ghost of something you'll never be.See him once, never twice,and witness something as cold as ice.Trust someone just as bad,you don't want to make him mad."Is this a warning?" I question. I couldn't see any other explanation for this strange riddle which I had no answer to.Kaden stays silent for awhile longer before he spoke again, letting me process what was on the note. "I want your answer by midnight. Someone will come for it. If you fail to answer the riddle, they will die. If you answer it correctly, they live.""Why are you doing this?" I demand, watching him back away from me slowly. "Why not just take me awa

~DawnI didn't know how to react. All I could do was think about how my life was probably about to end in the next few seconds, in my own room."What are you doing here?" I question, the words I managed to find hardly doing anything to help me in this situation. I'm trapped in my room by a member of the Vengeance Pack, who also happens to be the brother of the Alpha himself. I'm done for.Especially since I never thought I would actually need the answer to the riddle."I said, I'm here to collect the answer to the riddle," Kace repeats, taking a casual step closer to me. Every muscle in my body was tense, as I matched it backward."You?" I

~RylanDear Rylan,I know this is hard to hear, after everything. It's not as simple to explain as I thought it would be, when I picked up this pen to write to you. I've always known that you were too good for me, and that you deserve better. I know you won't agree with me right now, but one day you will realise. The decision was made when you marked me. I knew then.I will leave, and neither of us will get sick. Sadness is a given, but we can survive that, and move on. I ask you please not to pursue us. Lucy and I can't be here, but you must. I can't explain it, I just have to ask you to trust me, and to understand that I don't belong here. Someone once told me that no one should feel justified to stay with their mate. You can hate me. I understand. What you don't just yet, is the reason why I have to do this. At the end of the day, it's to protect Lucy. Here, I can't do that. Thank you for trying. I'll miss you, mate. DawnI crush the note within my fist, having found it on

*Two Weeks Later*~Dawn"She's your sister, Dawn, why are you so worried?"I can't explain it. The idea of my sisters being risen from the dead is daunting. Will she look the same? Will she get her body back? Nothing in my mind is coming together to make sense at all. Instead, it has me stressing out that the sister I knew won't be the same when Death brings her back. Lucky for me, I won't have to meet Death. From what has been described of her, she doesn't seem like the...nicest immortal to exist. "It's so many things," I mutter, looking up at Rylan who crouches in front of where I sit, hands on my knees. He's been there for me all week. If I hadn't gotten Lucy back, I don't know what would have happened to me. I doubt I would be here, that's for sure. "Everything will be fine. Once she is here, we will go back to the Purity Pack, life will be restored, and we can attend the mating ceremony," he says. I know he is trying to be reassuring, but the cold, dark feeling in my stomach

"She's dead," I breathe. "He killed her."It took a moment for Rylan to register what I meant. While he blankly stares at me, I realise how badly my heart hurts. Lucy, my baby sister. It's not fair. "Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry," Rylan apologises. I'm glad he isn't bringing anything else up, instead letting me fall into his arms in grief. He could ask who did it, and why, but instead he only holds me, letting me finally cry. I'm still numb. I know this is just an automatic reaction, that won't hit until later, when I notice her absence for real. Right now though, I have no idea how to handle this all. Not until I can look Kaden and the eye and ask him why. All of a sudden, a knock on the door draws me away from Rylan, as I wipe my tears away. It's the doctor."We haven't found any clear reason as to why she wasn't woken," the doctor informs us solemnly. I grit my teeth. If Millicent doesn't wake up, this will never end. I'll never be able to escape the confines of the Vengeance Pack. Sh

~Dawn"Seriously?" I splutter, not sure if I could really understand it. Who decided this? Who was the sick person who decided that Sinful and the Goddess would be at all compatible together? I can tell by the look in Millicent's eyes that she doesn't want this at all, but the undeniable bond that even I once questioned has done its work, and she has no other choice but to fall for it. She nods solemnly. "I've long since accepted it. Now, it seems, he wants more than that. He wants me to admit it.""I'm so stupid," I mutter. "I would never have made that deal if I knew this.""You don't have to worry. He can make me admit my love to him, but he can't make me want to be with him, which I assume is the end goal," Millicent says confidently. I have to admire her backbone, as I glance at Rylan, who was coming back into the room. He's not Sinful, I must remind myself. My mate actually has a heart. Even though I don't want to continue bringing up, but I have to. Sinful's threats to my mat

~Dawn If Rylan's hand wasn't against my back I wouldn't have stepped into the room. I could see her the moment I looked up from my moving feet. She sits casually in the middle of the room, watching myself and Rylan as we enter. Her posture is painfully impeccable, her gaze sharp and direct. She's here for a reason...to find out mine. There are two chairs placed in front of her, ready for us to sit down on. Not looking at her for less than a second, I take a seat, Rylan taking his right beside me. When I look up at her, I see...a normal girl.The mystical beauty that had once been explained to me isn't here. Her eyes have been shredded of every inch of soul that she might have previously possessed. The darkness of her hair either has always been like that, or wasn't, I'm not sure. She doesn't look right, and I know instantly why. This isn't the Moon Goddess. This is Millicent, the one who had her powers taken from her. As per her request. She doesn't say anything for a moment. Ins

~DawnLucy looked practically unrecognisable. There's a feral look in her eyes, as she silently slides back into her chair, right after Kaden had let her go. She trembles under everyone's scrutiny, looking as if she had been shocked into utter silence. I am too. That wasn't my sister who attacked Kace...My mind goes to Sinful, but I brush it off. Sinful has to be done with me. I haven't had a chance to speak with Millicent just yet. At this point, I would rather perhaps Rylan or Kaden talk to her instead. She's the Goddess. It's not necessarily an easy conversation to have. Kace looks at me for help, as he says, "I don't understand..."I want to tell him neither do I, because that's the truth. But right now, I'm ignoring my other mate as he holds the side of his face that bleeds profusely, I focus on my sister. Right now, I know her well enough to know she's not about to speak. She has that drawn off look about her that usually only appears when she's shy, when I'm the one who has

~DawnA sense of dread I've never felt before draped over me. I haven't seen those golden eyes of desire for three years. When I knew him, we were both young and stupid, before he was announced as Alpha. He had roped me in with the charming words he spun, and his addictive touch. Our kind of, but not really, relationship we had established was mutually beneficial for both of us, however, there was nothing like love there.He's part of the reason why mother decided we should move away from the Desire Pack. To save me from the temptations of boys like him.He's not a boy anymore. He's grown up, and almost a completely different person.No one else seems to notice the tension between us, as Rylan stands, walking over to Asher to shake his hand. He has no idea. At least I hope he has no idea. Rylan doesn't even flinch, as Asher's gaze remains on mine for a good second, radiating with a fierce, uncompromising intelligence. Knowing. Then he drags that gaze to Rylan, as he smiled lazily.Gl

~DawnThe moment I could no longer hear Kace's footsteps, I was on my feet. It's not Kace's fault at all. It's mine. I need to get back to my room, because at least there, I can't smell his scent, or even accidently fall asleep in his bed. So, I'll go back, shower, and start plotting a way to get Rylan back. No one sees me on my way back. Once I'm to my room, I make sure my door is closed, before I take some clothes from the drawer, and take them to the shower. I feel so guilty for everything that has happened, my feet dragged, as if shackles were locked around my ankles. What if this was Fate's idea? If I never get Rylan back, then I will be forced by nature to be with Kace. I don't think I could live with that decision.I shower everything off me. Washing my hair, my face, my entire body, I try rid of any ounce of Sinful on my body, wishing my troubles would was down the drain with it. Who even is Sinful? What does he look like when he isn't stealing other people's bodies. Once

~Dawn I take a moment to absorb the information. Sinful. The only hint that Rylan is gone is his eyes. The depth of the, holding raw emotion that's too unfamiliar to grasp. Like two onyx stones, his eyes are on me, his gaze unrelenting. I've seen that smile before. That's the scary part. "Why?" I breathe, shifting to my feet so I could have some leverage with him. "Why are you doing this?"I don't know anything about Sinful, but already I hate him. I had no idea spoke one could possess the power to completely take over someone's body like that, so seeing it happen right in front of me is terrifying. There's is a brewing anger within me that urges me to launch myself at him, but I've been witness to Rylan's strength. If Sinful can harness that..."You're not going to ask what happened to your precious mate?" he questions, seeming genuinely surprised. He even sounds exactly like Rylan, which sends a shiver down my spine. This is definitely Sinful though...Apart of me can just feel i
