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.

I really do wish the best for her and Aiden but at the same time she definitely deserves to live somewhere without all of her past haunting her.

    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

    Cassy wasn't at breakfast and she wasn't answering my texts or calls so I went over to her house to make sure she was fine. I drove up to her house and parked the car. I hadn't seen it before but it was darling and much bigger than I had expected. It was a quaint two-story house with a front side porch and a back yard that was fenced in. I knocked on the door and her father, I assumed, opened up. ”Hi there, how can I help you?” He asked with a bright smile. ”Hi, sir, I'm Gabby, a friend of Cassy’s. I was wondering if she’s here,” ”Gabby? Oh dear, you’re the Luna, where are my manners-” he became a little stressed and reached out his hand, opening the door fully and inviting me in. ”-it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, come in,” he said and shook my hand. ”Oh no that’s okay, I'm just looking for Cassy,” I said. ”She’s at work, she will be back in about an hour but please, come in, I'll make us some coffee.” I couldn't just turn around and leave, he looked so hopeful standing t

    ”Hello? Gabby, you still there?” ”Oh, Uhm, yeah i’m here. Listen, thank you for everything you’ve done to prepare for this but, uh…” I was stuck for the right words. Everything felt so right, right now, and the idea of leaving just made me feel sick to my stomach. What if this was where I was supposed to be? Maybe this was my faith, to be with Aiden, everything had been going so well that I believed I was developing actual feelings for him. Were we mates? Probably not, I didn't have my wolf yet so I had no idea who my mate was and I might never find out but if what I had with Aiden was real, emotionally, then maybe it didn't matter whether or not I had a mate. As long as I stayed with him, I could still live in a happy relationship. ”I’m gonna pass on the move,” I said and it was met with silence but the smile returned to Casandra's lips and her eyes started glimmering. ”Are you happy?” He asked me. ”I actually am,” I said and scoffed and shook my head. Never thought I would sa

    I was up in the room and with a shaky hand I picked up my phone and dialed. ”Hey!” ”The plan, walk me through it, what do I have to do?” ”Gabby, is everything alright?” ”Just get me out of here!” I threw clothes into my bags, closing them up and cramming down whatever I could as fast as I could. The door opened and my head jerked up, terrified to see Aidenw aalking in but it was Cassy who ran inside. ”Cassy, I'm sorry but I can’t-” She started pulling my clothes out and pushing them down in my bags. She went into the bathroom and grabbed all of my products. ”You’re leaving this fucking place.” She spat and closed all the bags. We put them by the door and she huffed a breath and looked at me. ”You don't deserve this, all the pain you've been through, you deserve none of it.” She said. ”When will they be here?” She asked. ”In twenty minutes.” I said and looked at the clock. ”I’ll take two of the bags downstairs, do you need anything else?” I looked around the room. ”There

    ”Aiden, what bet?” My mom asked through seething teeth. I looked down at the table and flicked my tongue. ”What have you kids done.” She said in a breath and shook her head. I was on my way to the one person who could know where Gabby was. ’She won't want to see you’ She won't have a choice ’You allowed her rapist to walk free and you were among those that shunned her. She owes you nothing’ I am her Alpha ’Some Alpha’ He said and scoffed. I parked the car and started punching at the stirring wheel. I needed som of the aggression gone before I talked to Cassidy or she wouldn't tell me a thing. My wolf was right, I hadn't been an Alpha for a long time. The shiny exterior I showed my parents was nothing compared to the nasty things I had done or been part of behind their backs. I would have to think about all of that later. First things first. ”Alpha, to what do we owe this pleasure,” her father said as he opened the door. ”Is Cassidy home?” ”Cassy! Please, come in,” He said

    I woke up to someone banging on my door. When I looked through the keyhole and saw his face and disheveled hair I was suddenly very much aware of how newly awake I was. I patted down my hair and fixed my robe. ”Hey,” I said when I opened the door. He was in a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. His thick hair was messy and he looked just as awake as I was. ”Do you have coffee?” He asked tiredly with a cup in his hand. I smiled and nodded my head. The coffee brewed and he sat on the chair and dragged a hand over his face. I tidied up in the kitchen and put everything away. Just as I reached up in the cabinet to bring down two cups, I felt someone behind me. His arm came around my head and pulled down a cup, handing it to me. His body brushed against mine and I felt the heat he exuded. ”Thank you,” I said and adverted my gaze. I placed my hair behind my ear and walked over to the coffee pot. ”Do you have any plans today?” Easton asked and took out the creamer from the fridge.

    ~Gabby’s POV~ I was in the coffee shop and had arrived one hour early before opening to get aquatinted with the place. I assumed the owner would bolt as he had last time and I was right. The second he saw me, he walked into the back to finish up some paperwork and then he left. I watched YouTube tutorials on on my phone on how to make coffee and luckily I only had about six customers the first few hours. ”Hey, there,” Easton stepped inside and leaned on the counter. The night I had slept over at his place went fine. We slept in separate rooms and the day after he helped me call the landlord and get the lock fixed so I was now back home which felt even better. There was a mysterious cloud clinging to his body. I couldn't put my finger on it but I felt it when I slept there as well. There were no pictures of anyone in his apartment and there were no plants, no tv, nothing really that signified a home. But then again, I had to remind myself that not everyone was caught up on materi

    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
