SHABA…She had tried mind-linking, but couldn’t reach out. “He must have used the runes.” She said out loud as she surveyed her surroundings. Suddenly, she was no longer inside the cage, but an open meadow. “How did I get here? Why do I feel so different?” She asked as she took a deep breath. “Strangely, the air smells cleaner than I remember.” She quickly became aware of her surroundings as realization set in. “Hello, Goddess.” She said, turning in a circle. “I will not change my mind, we have had this discussion before.” Shaba tells her. “I did not bring you here for that.” Rhiannon said. “Then why?” She asked her. “Your wolf has been silently pleading with me.” Rhiannon. “My wolf?” “Yes, your wolf.” Rhiannon replied.“Pleading for what?” Shaba asked, confused. “Her life.” “My wolf is as healthy as I am.” “I am afraid she is not. Shaba, your wolf, is dying.” “She can’t be dying.” Shaba said, starting to worry a little. “Her spirit is broken from the rage you feel. A wolf is meant t
A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE…Shaba was suddenly in a field surrounded by wolves fighting. Mangled bodies filled the ground and she suddenly saw herself standing face to face with a she-wolf. She watched as the she-wolf attacked and was knocked to the side, just before a glowing silver wolf appeared and lunged at her. Shaba watched as she raised a bow and arrow that had been dipped in silver and something else and shot it at the wolf. The wolf hit the ground and shifted back to its human self.Shaba saw Felan’s lifeless body lay on the ground and her own image started to rejoice. She turned her back, just as Felan was getting up. The 2 women lunged for each other. Shaba swung a sword taking Felan’s head off, but not before Felan punched through Shaba’s chest and grabbed heart. Felan’s body solely fell to the ground pulling Shaba’s hear with it.Shaba’s body fell next to Felan’s, as a thunderous growl came from a short distance away. Keyne was instantly standing over the 2 looking down at
FELAN… Felan woke up to find Keyne in the bed next to her. He had wrapped his arm around her waist. She eased out from under his arm looking around. “This must be the hotel.” She thought, not realizing she had been out for that long. She looked at the clock and saw it read 4:00 am. “I am going to shower and get some food.” She said to herself. She quietly gathered some clothing and walked into the bathroom, trying not to wake Keyne. She turned the water on and waited for it to warm before steeping under the water. The shower felt nice. Her muscle were starting to relax, when she heard a knock. “Felan, are you ok?” Keyne asked. “Yeah, I’ll be out in a few.” She answered. Thirty minutes later she emerged. “Felan, we need to talk.” He told her as she stepped into the room. “I know, but can we please wait until we are home.” She responded, putting on her shoes. “I guess.” He said sounding defeated. “I want to talk and we will, but first I would like to get some food and just enjoy a fe
FELAN AND AALIYAH…“What is going on?” Aaliyah asked her. “I don’t know where to start.” She said. “Just pick something and start.” Her mother said now looking more concerned. “What do they have planned for Josiah?” She asked calmly. “I am not sure.” Her mother answered her. “Mom, I know he has done terrible things. I don’t think I can see him killed, but I know keeping him in captivity has risks. If he was able to escape once, I know he will be able to do it again someday. Just a matter of when.” Felan said, with worrying now in her eyes.“My how you have grown far beyond your years. You shouldn’t have to worry about such things like this. I am so sorry, Felan, that you have had to grow up faster, than you should have. I can’t even imagine what you have been through. You are wise. I don’t know what is in store for Josiah, but together, we will figure it out.” Her mother said wrapping her arms around her tightly.Felan suddenly began to cry harder than she had before. Her mom started
ASHUR… Ashur was happy to see his Uncle and figured this would be the best time to mark Sam. This might be the last time all of his friends and family would be together to celebrate. He also knew that when they reached the pack it would be chaotic and very busy for at least a few weeks. He would talk to Nezerra and Aaliyah about staying an extra night. He wanted to make this special and celebrate the marking of his mate. He wanted to make her more than his mate. He wanted Sam to be his wife. He would need Aaliyah and Felan’s help. He needed to talk to his uncle and hoped that he still had the ring that belonged to his mother. His mother had left to Jake to hang on to it until Ashur was old enough and asked for it. He worried that with the attacks and rebuilding that the ring would become lost. He mind linked Nezerra, “Alpha, I need to talk to you and I would rather do it face to face.” “I am at the stable barn.” Nezerra replied back. “Be there in 10.” Ashur said cutting the mind li
SAM’S SURPRISE…. They all had tried to go to bed early, but most was too excited to sleep. Ashur told Sam that he was going to spend time with his Uncle and that he would see her in the morning. Honestly, he wanted to talk to the chef if Ashur could use the kitchen to make a special breakfast for Sam. He wanted to take his mate into the Garden and this is where he was to ask her to be his forever. It was there he was going to ask her if he could mark her and she him. He had no doubt that she would say yes. He wanted everything to be perfect. He asked his Uncle to mind-link her and have her come to the garden before breakfast. What Sam did not expect, was to find Ashur standing there holding her chair out for her. “What is this?” She asked with a smile on her face, thinking it was just breakfast. “Well we haven’t had a chance for a lot of alone time. So I thought we could have breakfast together. We both have such a busy day ahead of us, I thought we both would enjoy a moment just t

Felan is still waiting for you at your place.” The wolf tells her. Sam started to look worried, but before she could jump into action the wolf added, “Matilda and a few others are with her. Got to go now.” The wolf shifted back and ran off.Sam’s mom rubbed her shoulder and said, “Come on, I just mind-linked your father and everything is fine. Jake and the rest of the pack have it under controlled.” Sam nodded, but couldn’t let it go. She had an eerie feeling that there was something they were missing. She walked the way to her place, when it dawned her that they were all running in the opposite direction from Josiah was being housed.She mind-linked Jake an

Felan was focusing on the nature around her, when she suddenly got an image. It was almost like she was flying and looking down, but she could steel feel she was on the ground. She was surrounded by friends and family. They were all staring at her. It took her a minute to realize what was going on. “ASHUR!” She yelled. “I am right here.” He said, stepping forward. She immediately grabbed his arm and squeezed it. “Felan, are you ok?” He asked her. She started to fall as the tears started to pour from her eyes. “Ashur, she needs us.” Felan said. “Who?” He asked. “Sam, she is…, Goddess, what have they done to her?” “Who, Felan, what is going on?” Ashur asked, but Felan couldn’t speak. She was in shock from what she was seeing. Aaliyah was by her side in no time. She wrapped her arms around Felan and
