April's pov.
" April! " I hear a voice calling my name.
I try to wake up but I'm still sleepy.
" April! Wake up! " I hear only now it's louder.
Damn! Is a girl not allowed to rest?
Suddenly, I wake up and a sharp pain shoots through my arm.
I take in my surroundings and that's when I remember everything that happened yesterday.
Did it actually happen yesterday?
"April,look at me! " the voice urges.It is then that I notice a figure standing just outside my cell.
"What do you want?" I say but my voice sounds like sand paper.
" I'm here to give you some food!" The guard says." I don't want anything!" I reply.
" April, please just eat! You've been asleep for two days and you haven't eaten anything!" He pleads.
Did he just say two days? So, I've been asleep for two frickin days?
My parents have been dead for two days?
"So... my parents have been dead for two days huh? " I say while in tears.
" I'm sorry April, they didn't deserve that and you don't deserve this as well!" He says sadly.
" ARE YOU TRYING TO MOCK ME? ALL YOU DID WAS STAND THERE WITH THE REST OF THE PACK AND DID NOTHING WHEN MY PARENTS WERE KILLED FOR NOTHING! THEY WERE BURNED AND ALL YOU AND YOUR PACK DID WAS WATCH AND DO NOTHING! " I say almost screaming while my anger rises.
" I'm sorry April, I don't know how many times I have to say that for you to believe me!" He says sadly.
" sorry will not bring my parents back!" I shout.
" I know that April! But please at least let me try and help you. We both know you are hungry but you are too stubborn to admit it! Do you want to die?" He asks in frustration.
" yes! In fact I would love nothing more than to die!" I lie.
" well, too bad cause I won't let you! Now eat!" He commands.
My stomach rumbles and the guard has the nerve to smile! Really stomach, you seriously couldn't have rumbled at another time?
" how can I be sure that you did not poison me? " I ask while giving up the pathetic act of wanting to die.
" you can't! All you have to do is trust me!"
Did he just say trust?
" what did you just say?" I ask in disbelief.
" I'm asking you to trust me April. Trust me to help you out of this! " he says sincerely.
My mind goes blank and for the first time in a long time I'm speech less......

Aprils pov."Snow" I call my wolf."Yes April." She says and she sounds better than the last time we talked." are you okay?" I ask."I'm better now " she says.I'm glad she's better. Snow is the only one I have left and if it weren't for her I don't know what I would have done." I'm glad." .. " Snow, do you think we should trust the guard?" I ask.She is silent for way too long and I begin getting worried." Snow?" I call out." yes April. You should trust him" she says and a sight escapes her." Snow, are you sure you're okay?" I ask getting worried." don't worry about me! Its nothing I can't handle. " she says and I trust her on that . So, I stop asking questions." okay! I can give it a shot but trust is a strong word
It's been almost a week now since Dylan told me about the plan and I have a feeling that it's not gonna work out.I don't mean to be negative or anything but have you ever had a bad feeling about something, then it actually happens?I put that thought away and started chanting a few "positive energy " "it will work out well" "nothing will go wrong"" April? " I hear snow calling me. " I have a bad feeling about today! " she continues and my worry comes back. " why? " I ask." I don't know I just do but it's probably nothing. " she says and cuts me off. She leaves my mind and blocks me.Before I can make out what that was all about, I hear footsteps and I smell the familiar scent of Dylan."Dylan! Hey! " I say excitedly." did
I burst out laughing and every one looks at me in shock." was that supposed to work? " I ask in between laughs." ofcourse! You are now an omega! " he says proudly and looks pleased with himself.Another burst of laughter escapes me and I have to hold my stomach and start breathing in and out so as to control myself.After a few seconds I finally calm down and say :" if I was an omega would I still have my wolf? " snow asks. By the look everyone has I can tell that they know it's no longer me but my wolf in control even though I'm still in human form.Jake is silent for a while and I nod giving Dylan a sign for what is to happen next.I push Jake on the ground and before he can shift to his wolf form I jump on him and sit on him.Electric currents shoot through my body the minute we make contact but I'm too thirsty for blood to give a da
Aprils povWe cross the pack border and I feel all my connections with the pack dissolving. I look at Dylan and I know that he feels it too if the look of pain in his eyes is anything to go by.I look back one last time and some part of me feels sad because I've left the only home I have ever known and yet I feel excited because now I'm stepping into the unknown."Hey Dylan? What happened to the warriors you were with? " I ask him through the mind link." they were killed!"he says sadly." I'm sorry for your lose! " I pause " what about the other pack members?" I continue asking." they went into hiding once the attack began!" He says.After that we fall into comfortable silence.A while later: Its almost dawn and we've been running the whole night.
Aprils povWe were near a town and we shifted back to human form.Dylan Goddess bless his soul had packed our clothes and some money as well. He had packed all that in his back pack and carried it with his teeth while in wolf form.We changed and started walking into town.It wasn't very busy and we make our way to a motel." we should share a room so that it would be cheaper. " Dylan says out of nowhere." yeah! " I agree.We get a room and boy does it feel good to see an actual bed!The bed is well spread and the room to say the least is just plain boring and gloomy.It has grey walls, grey curtains,black tiles and a grey duvet. The bed is in the middle of the room and the room is an okay size.I mean what the hell is it with the depressing colours?
Aprils pov I wake up and instantly regret it.I have a pounding headache and it feels as though my skull will crack any minute now. A pair of hands are wrapped around my waist and a small smile makes it's way across my face.He didn't leave." Dylan? We have to talk!" I whisper." That we do!" He replies instantly.Really? He was awake this entire time?"What happened last night?" He continues." I felt guilty and sad at what happened! " I reply. I don't have the energy in me to lie." why?" He asks worried." IT'S MY FAULT THAT THOSE PEOPLE DIED! IF I HADN'T GOTTEN REJECTED, MY PARENTS WOULD STILL BE ALIVE. IF ONLY I HAD BEEN GOOD ENOUGH, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REJECTED! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME YOUR FRIENDS WOULDN'T BE DEAD AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THE ONLY HOME YOU KNEW. ALSO, I KI
Aprils pov So far. The worst part? I have to leave this amazing creature behind who has grown to mean so much to me. What should I do? I know that there is strength in number but I don't want to drag him into the unknown. " April, for goddess sake! Stop thinking so hard! you are hurting my brain!" Dyl says. Wait, he can hear me thinking? " H-" I begin but I'm quickly cut off. " Our wolves have formed a bond, not the one you're thinking. The sibling bond. My wolf can't shut up about his adorable little sister which so happens to be your wolf!" He says. " other than that, are you okay?" " wow that is such a twist!... yes I am better but I'll never be okay... thanks for last night." I say. " what are big brothers for?" He asks and hugs me. " I'm glad you're bet
Aprils pov " April, its time" Dylan says." Gosh Dyl, I hate that sentence! Nothing good ever comes when you say that" I say."I'm sorry but we have to get ready and um..um.. you have to leave!" he says the last part with sadness and I glimpse a tear rolling down his cheek."Big brother? Please don't cry, it pains me to leave you behind ! But It hurts me more to see you cry!" I say and hug him." I know baby sis but promise me you will be careful" he says."I promise! Promise me that we will meet again on better circumstances!" I plead." I promise! Promise me that when the time comes when we meet again you will not leave me!" He pleads and holds me tighter." I promise!" I say and pull back.I go to the bathroom to freshen up.I shower within 5 minutes and put on my clothe
Aprils pov It's been five years, five long years since that awful day. I haven't been the same since I lost him even though things were good between us I still feel guilty because if he had not jumped in front of Nathan to save me he'd be here today and I wouldn't be feeling so alone and empty. Dylan oh sweet Dylan saved me that day and paid the price with his life, He took the stab meant for me and there's nothing I could do to save him because he was stabbed with a silver-coated dagger straight to the heart. After Nathan realized what he'd done to his mate, He went mad with grief and killed himself a few days after the funeral. Slowly, word spread across the kingdom about the battle that went down that day and people became aware of my existence and that I still lived. Royal elders came to me at the moonstone pack to besiege me to take the crown for many people died f
Aprils pov"... And unicorns exist," I say because I mean they're obviously joking but nobody laughs and I start to panic. How can it all be true?"April he's being serious," Dylan says with a straight and serious face."So, you killed my parents? You're the reason why I was abandoned and you're the reason I've been running for my life?" I pause and Nathan tries to speak but I hold a finger up letting him know I'm not yet done."And I'm the queen of werewolves?""Yes you are and I am to blame for everything but I'm not seeking a family reunion. All I want is for you to sign the papers forfeiting your right and claim to the throne and I'll let you live." He says coldly.For months now I've been trying to find my place and purpose and find out my heritage and why my parents did what they did and as I sit across from the reason why I feel the anger s
Jason's POVYesterday was pure perfection. I mean being with April is always perfect, all my troubles and worries fade away when I'm with her and I already miss her even though I know she's in the same house as me. I turn around on the bed to see the other side empty.Thats weird, where's Dylan and where could he have gone so early in the morning?I mind link April to try and wake her up:"Baby. Wake up already. Dylan's not in the room with me. Wanna cuddle?"Nothing. I'm met with silence, its like the message didn't even reach her."April." I call out as I get out of bed starting to panic."April!" I call out once more heading towards the room she slept in.I open the door to find Esmy sleeping soundly but I don't sight April. My pain increases, where is she? Could the person sending the threats have taken her?"Esm
Aprils POV"Wait.. What?" I ask in shock.He remains silent while giving me a pained look."Dylan Joe Lane! How do you know NW? And more importantly what do you mean they're waiting for us?" I ask fearing the answers he'll give me but I just have to know."I'll tell you everything you need to know but not here, we might wake your mate and the alpha up and they'd try to stop you from leaving and I'd really hate to kill them." He says and I feel a shiver running down my spine, not the good kind. I don't know this guy in front me he's cold and seems heartless unlike the happy caring Dylan that I have grown to love and care for.I already know that he's working with NW because he's taking me to him, I just need to know the why..Why would he betray me like that? Is he the one that has been sending the notes? How long has he been working for him? Did- 
Aprils povWe walk around the house and find a path that leads to a tiny gate that is being held up by a wooden fence. Jace opens the gate for me and I walk past him to see a beautiful green field with trees in some parts of the field, its absolutely breathtaking. I've always loved nature❤ I don't know whether its because I'm a werewolf or its just me.Dyl and Esmy join us and we're now walking together in a straight line. Jace directs us to what looks like a stable and there are four beautiful horses outside tied to trees. Damn! They really planned ahead. The closer we get I notice the horses are already tacked up."Dyl? Tell me I'm not the only one who has never gotten on a horse before." I say starting to feel kinda scared."I wish I could but don't worry about it.. You'll be fine." He says.We get to the horses and Jason enters the stables to greet the foreman and to tell him
Aprils povIts been two days since that night and as much as everything between me and Jace couldn't be better, I still have a decision to make.As you probably already know, yes I will be leaving tomorrow in search of answers and of course to avoid bloodshed."Babe.." He calls out from the shower."Yes.." I answer."Could you please hand me the towel. I forgot it." He chuckles sexily.I laugh and get up from the bed and pick his towel from the floor.... How could he have just dropped it?I open the bathroom door and wave the towel in the air while calling out his name."Just get in.. There's nothing you haven't seen before. " He says and I blush."Naaahhh. Just come and get it.""Come on. I promise not to bite.""Fiiiinnneee." I relent.
Aprils pov"Hey! What's taking so long?" I hear Jason ask."I'll be there in a minute." I say trying to keep my voice as cool as possible."What do we do Snow?" I ask Snow frustrated."What led us to our mate is the search of our parents and if this NW guy has information on them then we should go... However, this beautiful journey about finding out about our parents has led us to true love, are you sure you wanna give that up?" Snow asks and damn is she a smart wolf!"First of all, when did you get so wise? Second of all, I don't want to give that up and at the same time I want to find out the truth about our parents." I answer."Then there's only one thing to do... " She trails off but I instantly catch on to what she's trying to say.All my life I've never been so certain about something like I am right now, I've never been more ready
Jasons POVIts been two days since the first note arrived and since then more of them have been delivered to our house.I feel so powerless each and every time I see the notes because my mates life is in danger and I don't know who's trying to kill her... I put on a brave and confident front when I'm with her but the truth is I'm dying inside with fear of the unknown.."I think I might have an idea" Shadow says."I'm listening" I say sighing."We need to mark her!" Shadow growls.. "Its the only way, in that way, we'll know where she is all the time and if she's in danger we'll sense it." I can feel his desperation at keeping our mate safe through the bond."I don't think she's ready for that yet." I say remembering how hard it was for her to open up and give our relationship a chance."Snow is." He says slowly.
Aprils POVEver get the feeling that you're being watched? Well I feel like that right now and when I open my eyes my suspicions are confirmed because Jasons brown eyes are staring back at me."Good morning." I say stretching and yawning."Morning. I could really get used to this." He says looking at me with adoration."Get used to what?" I ask leaning closer to him."Waking up next you every morning for the rest of my life." He says as he brushes a strand of hair behind my ear."Careful there! That sounds like a proposal." I say teasingly because I mean of course its not."Maybe it is." He says and I freeze... He leans in closer and it just hits me.... Oh My Goddess! Morning breath!"I gotta go!" I say quickly and I get out of bed and make a quick dash for the door."No you don't! "He says and gr
