”Hey, is everything alright?” Cassy asked when she met up with us in the hallway.

Aiden walked straight past her and behind the stairs. His father stepped out from the dining hall and his eyes locked with mine before he followed his son.

”Everything is fine,” I said and smiled.

She didn't believe me and I probably wouldn't have either. I had gotten less and less convincing with my lies and it was something that bothered me.

”Do you want to go for a walk?” She asked and smiled a half smile.

”Yeah, why not,”

We walked down the park and toward the town. The movement was getting more and more as everyone started walking to school and work.

”Do you want to share what it is that is bothering you?” She asked and looked ahead.

”What do you mean?”

”The phone call, Aiden, all of it and also the fact that you’re clenching your teeth so hard that I'm surprised they’re not turning to dust,” now that she mentioned it my jaw was hurting from all the clenching.

”The phone call was my mom,

    I didn’t get any sleep, none at all. I had laid awake the entire night just staring up at ceiling or onto the wall, thinking about what today would bring. My parents would soon arrive, in just a few hours. It was six in the morning and everyone was waking up. I walked into the bathroom and saw my dull eyes and pale skin. Whenever I didn't sleep, I looked like crap but it would have to do. I applied some makeup and put on my clothes. Downstairs everyone was getting ready for breakfast and they were sitting down. The former Alpha and Luna were sitting in their places and I went to sit with them. Luckily no one else from our table had arrived. ”Sleep well?” Marie asked me. Did I lie and say yes or was I going to be honest? ”Yes,” apparently lie. ”You know, makeup covers around the eyes, not in them,” she said and rose a brow. ”I’m nervous,” I said quietly. ”Nervous?” No, not nervous. ”I’m scared,” She nodded her head and placed her hand over mine. Her face took on a much more

    My parents stepped out of the car, accompanied by four warriors, all them whom I recognized. The whole energy shifted and in my head, it looked like they were moving in slow motion. Their smiles were big and bright as they hugged Aiden and his parents. It was odd how everyone could pretend to be this happy when in fact, nobody wanted this. Nobody was genuinely happy but they all looked like they had won the lottery. They didn't even know each other, they just fixed their children up and should just back off. But my brother's words kept playing in my head, how they were coming up with a plan and that gave me hope. It gave me hope that this might actually end and I would be free of everyone. Aiden, my parents and all the people who had been making choices for me since the day I was born. I took a deep breath and repeated Edmund's words in my head. ”Oh, sweetheart!” My mom gushed and came over to hug me. ”How we’ve missed you. Your brothers really wished they could be here but unfor

    The tension in the room was rising. Not just from Clark, Aidens father, but also Marie and Aiden himself. They were all watching my parents, straightening their backs and readying themselves.”What did you say?” My dad asked and stood straight. Clark was bigger, broader shoulders and form but my dad was an asshole with a big ego so he wouldn't back down.”I said-” Clark said and stepped around the table, got up closer to my father and stared him dead in the eye. ”-It’s time for you to leave. Gabriella is now a part of our family and our pack. She is this packs Luna and nobody, reagldeless of whether or not they are blood, will treat her with disrespect. Therefor, I'm asking you kindly, to leave.”My mother slowly stood from her seat and took a stance next to my dad. ”I think maybe we’ve taken a bad turn here, why don't we speak with Gabby in private and afterwards we will be on our way home,” Mom said and placed her hand on dads arm. They turned their heads and looked at me. Me an

    His eyes grew darker, black almost and something ominous swirled inside of them.”Who did that to you?” He asked slowly, with a calculated and soft voice but there was a noticeable edge to it. One that said not to lie or defy him right now. ”No one, I walked intro a door,” I said an shrugged a shoulder. ”I’m clumsy,””Gabirella,” he said and leaned closer.”Who hit you?” His voice sent shivers down my spine, it was low and dark. My eyes flickered to his lips for a mere second before I looked back up into his eyes. Why did he even care?”Who would hit me?” I asked and looked at him, awaiting to see if he had a clue of what I had endured for all my life. He let me go, just like he was pulling himself away.”I came to apologize,” he what?”I shouldn't have gone behind your back like that with your parents, I'm sorry.” ”Why did you?” I asked him. He shrugged a shoulder nonchalantly and placed his hands in his pockets. ”I wanted to know more about your past and who raised you, I wante

    ’Can you meet?’ I stared at the screen and nervously chewed on my fingernail while waiting for a reply. She probably wasn't even awake.’On my way’ relief washed over me when she answered and I got dressed and walked outside. Cassy drove up and picked me up. We walked around the dark and quiet town before sitting down on a bench and I told her about my brothers plan.”So, you’re really leaving?” She asked and I heard the sadness in her voice, she wasn't trying to mask it.”I can't stay, my life isn't my own and it hasn't been, ever. I need to take it back,” I said.”I understand, do you know when?””No, they said they’d call once they had a plan but I don't know when that’s gonna be,” she nodded her head and grabbed my hand. ”You deserve to live a life of your own choosing so whatever you need, I'll help you,” she said and smiled.We went back to the house and me and Cassy were in the gaming room watching movies until the sun rose. During one of the movies we had both fallen asleep

    I walked over and locked the doors, making sure that nobody would be able to enter. When I went back to Cassy she had a confused look on her face and she was awkwardly turning in the chair. ”When my parents realized that they hadn't birthed the perfect daughter, they tried to create one by any means necessary,” I said and removed my cardigan. ”They wouldn't tell me what to do and what not to do when I was a child because, well, as you saw they aren't normal. Instead, whenever i stepped over the line or I did anything un-lady like they would try and show what happens to girls who aren't the mold of perfection…” I removed my long sleeved shirt and placed it on top of my cardigan. ”…they would try and instill in me these habits and ways of life and their way of doing that…” I pulled my tank top over my head and tossed it aside. Cassy gasped and she hadn't even seen a fraction of my fathers art. I turned around, showing of my back for the first time in my life. ”…was beating it int

    Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each sedond that Aiden didn't grab it. Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked relaxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had just said. ”We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me away. ”Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but I'm guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren't allowed to hear. Obviously. I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn't a long story. I didn't want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made

    ~Unknown POV~ Aiden and Gabby were away so I knew that I had the entire day to do what I had to, without any getting suspicious. ”Have you seen her?” I asked Cole and he sighed. ”Are you really gonna do this?” ”Do you want her to stay?” I asked him and crossed my arms over my chest. He scoffed. ”She’s in town, at the old library.” I knocked on the door and it swung open slowly with a loud shriek. ”Step in,” Her voice was raspy and deep. ”I need you to do something.” I said and walked up to her. It was completely still around us but suddenly books started flying out of their shelves and the dust gathered around us. ”I do nothing for you with that attitude you bring. Get out.” She said. ”Just listen, I need you to contact someone,” I gave her the name and she looked up at me with that wrinkled old face. ”Why?” ”The Luna, she needs to go.” ”Is that so,” ”Yes, she’s not good for the pack so just do as I say.” ”You’re jealous of her and the bond that is being created betw

    Aiden saw, his eyes met his mother's and like the flick of a finger, the time sped up and Asher's head flew back. He clawed out Asher’s other eye, completely blinding his wolf before jumping up and digging his teeth into his neck. Asher’s wolf fell to the ground, trying with all his might to get back up but Aiden sunk his teeth in deeper and I saw that he was making it hurt as much as possible. As his last breath was drawn, Aiden finally pulled back and rose his head. He looked behind him and took off, running to his mother's side. Everyone else kept fighting and were going ferociously at Asher’s men. Their leader was dead but they weren't stopping. I turned back and saw Liliana, her eyes were turning red as she looked out over all the men fighting. She screamed and raised her hands, and with her hands rose fire and burnt the werewolves alive. Our own men were backing away and pulling at each other to run back. Just as the others were about to run, a wall of fire rose behind them, t

    ~Edmund’s POV~ Liliana was looking at me, her lips slightly parted and her mind seemed deep in thought. I held on to my cup to keep from showing how shaky my hands were. Talking feelings and being exposed like this wasn't my thing, I never had to do it. I'd wink at a girl and they’d come to me but this wasn't a one-night thing and I wanted to do it right. The question was if she’d let me. ”I know that you’re more than that, it’s just,” her voice was so low and fragile and nothing at all like we had seen her be. Her eyes flickered and she rolled her head. ”You don't understand,” she sighed and closed her eyes. Her head fell and her hand let go of the fork she was holding. ”Don’t understand what?” I asked her and pinched my brows together. Liliana slowly opened her eyes, so slow that I could see every littlest emotion that swirled around in there. Her shoulder slumped and she exhaled. ”The fight isn't over,” she whispered as though it was a secret. ”What-what do you mean?” T

    ~Gabby’s POV~ Liliana was sitting next to Edmund, the two seemed to have similar scowls on their faces. Neither said a word, they just ate and completely ignored everyone, including each other. ” How did you sleep?” I asked them and squirmed in my seat. Edmund looked up at me through hooded eyes and then back at his plate. ”Fine,” Liliana said and offered at least a strained smile. She had more manners than my brother, who would've thought. The stale tension only rose but I couldn't be too upset about it. Every time I saw the heart-shaped ring on my finger a swarm of butterflies erupted in my stomach and I got all giddy. Aiden saw where I was looking and grabbed my hand, he lifted it to his lips and placed a kiss on it. I saw Marie’s and Clark’s pleased expressions. They looked just as happy as we were. But of course, I wanted to see all of my brothers happy as well. Noah was happy with Cassy and now Nick had Erin, that only left Edmund who was mated to the woman who put a h

    ”I just…I don't feel like I belong here,” I said and looked down, too ashamed to look into his eyes. I felt his finger under my chin and he tilted my head back. My eyes flickered between his lips and his eyes. ”You do,” he said and leaned down, he placed a soft kiss on the side of my mouth. ”You belong here,” he said and kissed my jaw. He raised his head, his eyes locking me down and he stepped closer, brushing his body against mine. ”You belong with me.” He said and kissed my lips, I drew a sharp breath and released it heavily, feeling my chest and my shoulders sink. He continued placing soft kisses on my lips and his other hand rested on my waist. I leaned forward, pressing myself against him and my mind and my thoughts ceased to exist. I pressed my lips harder onto his and grabbed onto the back of his head. His tongue slipped in and he held me so hard as if begging me to stay. Worried that if he let go, I’ll be gone. He gently lifted me and placed me on the bed. ”I’m beggi

    ~Erin’s POV~ I walked out, ready to say goodbye to everyone but as I got to the foyer, I saw them all standing there with big smiles on their faces. ”There you are, come on, we’re going for a run!” Gabby said and came to grab my hand. ”Gabby, no. I have something-” ”Don’t. Not yet,” she whispered and the sadness in her eyes was just heartbreaking. ”Sure, let’s go for a run,” I said and squeezed her hand. We didn't shift at first, we took off our shoes and ran on the ground, through the grass, and down into the woods. I closed my eyes and allowed my other senses to take the stirring wheel as the wind embraced me. We all shifted and ran between the trees and tried catching up with each other. Nick’s wolf slowed a little beside me and we stopped behind everyone else as they continued. He came up and started nuzzling me. He leaned his head over my wolves and they rubbed against abasing each other, both as pleased as they could ever be. Somehow this made me feel worse because now I r

    ”Sending a bunch of big men with big muscles may work for you wolves but when it comes to a witch, it’s better to send someone with respect.” She said as she stood in front of Aiden. ”You're Liliana,” ”And you must the Alpha,” she reached out her hand and Aiden shook it. Liliana's eyes suddenly furrowed and she looked past him. She walked up the stairs and looked around the entrance. Her eyes were searching for something and it looked like they found it when a door opened up upstairs and a girl walked out. She was pulling down her dress and giggling as she pulled Edmund closer and pressed her body against his. He smirked and nibbled on her ear but then stopped. He froze in his spot and slowly turned his head. His eyes locked with Lilianas and started glowing.”Mate,” was the only word that left his lips. The girl gasped and slapped him as she stormed off down the stairs and out of the house without making eye contact with anyone. Edmund was taking slow steps down the stairs and Lili

    Aiden and I sat in silence for several minutes before I had the courage to speak. ”I don’t know yet. There’s just so much going on and things that have happened that I don't know if I can stay. I mean I just found out that I have this whole other family that I thought all my life gave me up. Now I have a mate as well and things just aren't working out as they’re supposed to,””Or maybe they’re working out exactly as they’re supposed to. You went through hell, Erin, but now you’re here, you’re home. Maybe this was your way back,””Or maybe I was just never meant to come back,” I whispered. The life I had been living for the past years had been that of a nightmare and the thought of it all being part of my faith was terrifying. ”Just don't do anything rash, take your time and think about it before deciding,” Aiden got up and left. His eyes were pleading with me but just like the rest of them, I knew he wouldn't try to stop me if I chose to leave. He’d respect my decision, as they all

    Gabby’s eyes widened and she was staring in shock at our brother who had no recognition of her whatsoever. He twisted her arm and extended his claws. ”Get back!” Edmund pushed at his chest, I went around Gabby and grabbed his arm and we pinned him against the wall. ”What the hell is wrong with him?” Edmund growled. He turned his head and looked at me but this time I didn't have the answer and that pissed me off. He knew me and Edmund but how could he have forgotten about her? All her life it had been the three of us, working shit out together and protecting each other. He was the one alongside Edmund who would break necks and slit throats to keep her safe and now all of sudden she was a stranger to him. ”Easy,” Gabby said beside me. Everyone was silent for a minute, including Noah who was seething and trying to push us back. When I looked into his eyes I could see my brother but there was something more, something that wasn't him and it was eating him up. We needed to find the w

    ~Nick’s POV~I told the others to wait upstairs. We had been patiently sitting around for a fucking hour to see if the warriors could get anything out of Amanda but they hadn't so I was going to see if I could speed it up. ” She’s pretty beaten but maybe you'll be able to get something out of her,” the guard said on his way out. I wanted everyone gone, the only people left would be me and her.I walked up to the cellar and Amanda was sitting on the floor. Her arm was broken and half her body was covered in blood. Her right eye was swollen and there was a cut on her leg where it looked like someone had driven in a knife and still- she hadn't talked. ”What do you want?” She said in a raspy voice, barely able to look at me or move her lips. ”The truth.” I said and circled my fingers around the bars. She tried shaking her head but winced. The cellar leaked of wolfsbane and she wouldn't be healing anytime soon. ”I… I’ve told the truth. I didn't use magic on anyone so…just go,” she sai
