CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ~Avery: I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I heard the knock at my door. Lost room service? The bad guys who attacked before? No - professional killers wouldn’t knock, would they? But when his voice came through the door my heart soared with hope I didn’t want. My knees quaked as I stood there, overwhelmed by it all. Questions raided my mind, my ears filled with the sound of my heart pumping blood, my breathing hitched. When he spoke again I seemed to wake up from the panic, the relief, the joy - everything - enough to move again. My mind raced for something to hold on to. For something to carry me out of this. A flash of what we had done together came to mind, and it gave me my resolve. I needed to be strong, to be in control. I needed to push him away once and for all. For everyone’s safety. When he looked at me through the crack in the door it took everything I had not to just rush him, pull him close. But I would not let go of what I knew to be righ

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO:~Drake: I may die of frustration before the Lycaon kill me. Trying to understand all the thoughts in anyone’s mind is hard enough - but in my elusive mate? Almost impossible. I hold on to the hope that my guesses are correct - that she likes me but is holding back because of something in her past, that she wants to trust but needs me to keep pushing until her worries are resolved. But there’s nothing telling me I’m not totally wrong. So I keep pushing - right? When she said the words, ‘I’m sorry,’ I almost opened my mouth in shock. But I didn’t want to scare her off or send her on a tirade. I needed to watch myself to not change the atmosphere at all until she elaborated. She rambled and I listened to it all, trying to take in everything I could from her perspective. It was amazing progress, but Dane reminded me of the threat looming closely, and I knew we would have to prioritize leaving and getting her somewhere safe before I went back and hunted every one of

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: ~Avery: After pulling away from Drake, I made my way down the back staircase that led around the other side of the building. It’s hard to move quickly but quietly and I’m not sure at the moment what matters more. Can those wolves hear the creaks in these steps? At the bottom of the stairs I turn cautiously and start walking along the backside of the building, searching for any auras out there. Because of the hour, there’s not much activity anywhere outside of the random rooms I passed with lights coming through the windows. With every step I fight my magic and the instinct to just destroy everything and everyone out there. To remove this threat from the face of the earth. I clench my fists, fighting my magic, keeping it down in my abdomen. My mind flickers to Drake. There’s a flash of worry for him, I can’t hear anything going on out there, but was it right to leave him? Will he get hurt? My heart clenches at the thought of it. A second of heat takes over

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR:~Drake:How did I miss the sound of those loud rogues? Her. My nameless mate. She had me in total tunnel vision. I knew it was silver bullets that hit me the second I was thrown into some tree. The impact was disorienting and when I rolled my head back to face the threat, my mate was blowing up like an ethereal supernova. The light coming from her was intense and maybe overpowering to anyone else, but for me, I couldn’t look away. It was magical. No other way to describe it. It was like the heavens opened up and a Goddess was revealing her real self to me. The sight set my heart ablaze, I was stuck in complete awe. The seconds of her radiation seemed to last a lifetime.“How did an idiot like you get so lucky?” Dane commented.I was totally slack jawed in my total and complete awe.The pain in my neck, side, and back hit me and I rotated my head back, looking straight back up into the night sky. I tried to push up but found it hard to move. I can hear her moveme

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE~Avery:A few hours after waking up all disoriented in the car to realize Drake was alive, we were on foot heading to a corner store to buy a burner phone and some snacks. We had ditched the car, Drake adding tons of mud and such trying to cover the ‘scent’ as best we could, before we moved on. I still had a moderate amount of cash on me but we needed to be strategic about what we spent on now. Otherwise I’d need to use other means to get cash, and I really didn’t want to mess with my magic right now.Drake held the door open for me as we made it to the corner, I walked up and down two aisles with him pretty much glued to my side. I stopped before the phones and gave him a small glare. My stance is firm. I don’t want to say anything aloud here about backing off - but da*n dude - give a girl some space.He looked back at me, mouth twisted like he wasn’t impressed with what I was signaling. He just brought his feet together, crossed his arms, and looked back at me.O

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: ~Drake: I fell asleep after a few minutes of bickering with Dane. I’d tried again to get into her head, but she once again kept me firmly away. She won’t talk to me, not about anything real. So fine. I slept on the couch. I need a break from fighting her. I’d fight her forever on this, get close somehow, but I can’t lie and say it’s easy. It f*king hurts. She doesn’t need to be alone like this, not anymore. But she wasn’t giving into our bond like that. Not now anyway. The immediate irritation that filled my blood as I remembered these feelings in my drowsy mind dissipated as I blinked awake. Something in me was forcing me to wake up mid-REM. Like a small tug in my head. I was disoriented but something in me was making me wake up. Something wasn’t right. I felt the echo of her voice calling to me in a panic. Like a stretched out link. ‘Avery,’ Dane huffed out in a panic. Something was very wrong. All the hair on my skin sat up straight as I flung myself u

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN:~Avery: The painful pounding in my head woke me up. I registered everything slowly. My back felt stiff, I was laying on something cold and uncomfortable. There’s a kink in my neck. The involuntary shiver that ran through me really brought the pain from all over out. My eyes squinted, but as much as I blinked, there was no light. I rolled and pushed myself off the floor only to confirm it. There’s no light here. It’s completely pitch black. And cold. Another shover rippled over my skin. I moved my hands all around me feeling nothing but hard rock. Cement maybe? I shifted my weight, reaching further away, trying to feel for something, anything. A wall maybe? Nothing. I moved further, stretching out, listening carefully to everything around but there was more of the same. No sounds, and no objects but rock or cement or whatever it was. Is this some sort of dream? Nightmare? Was I dead? I kept feeling around, strategically heading in what I think was the same dir

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT:~Drake: ‘We need to rest,’ Dane grumbled again. Annoyed with me. We’d been driving for hours. I’d filled up twice since we’d left the motel but outside of that we haven’t stopped. ‘We’re nearly there,’ I sent him back. ‘No, we’re not. And if we don’t stop we won’t have the energy to defeat them all,’ he pointed out - again. I growled aloud, smacking the steering wheel. I didn’t want to stop but the da*n wolf did have a good point. I haven’t been here in what felt like a lifetime. Alpha Rafael was a grade A a**hole but he wasn’t stupid. He likely changed patrols since I left. I wouldn’t be able to use any knowledge on the packlands other than where the buildings were. I had to slow down, build a strategy - figure out how to get in touch with Archer before blowing the element of surprise. If I even had that. Blowing out more agitated breaths I pulled over, bringing the car to a full stop. I’d lost track of where I even was. I was just heading home. All wolv
