Lana’s POV

As the room came into view, I could see hundreds of people standing around the edge. All looking on at something.

The man in the middle is blocking my view but he is talking to someone. I couldn’t make out anything they were saying, just low mutterings, nothing that seemed to form any words or make any sense.

My hands and my legs were both tied to the chair when the tall dark haired man suddenly turns and looks at me. His piercing red eyes twinkled as he hurried towards me. I couldn’t go anywhere, I couldn’t move. Why was I always in these situations?

He mutters something to me, his words still not making any sense. Almost like he was talking another language. He looks over my shoulder and someone else joins him. A man, I think or at least a maculine woman. They touch my head and instantly I feel my body relax as sleep takes me.

Opening my eyes, I find myself on a four poster bed. Crisp white sheets beneath me and a white fleece blanket covered me, but that was all that was

    Lana’s POV“I didn’t mean it like that!” Freya backs off from me“Then what did you mean? You can’t just call me a key and then pretend you don’t know.”“I didn’t…I shouldn’t have… Hallen is going to kill me.”“Not if I kill you first!” I snap at her.“You wouldn’t?!”“Try me!”Calling my wolf forward, every bone cracks and grows as they reposition. Sam was right, it was becoming less painful the more often it happened and I was getting quicker to.In less than a minute my white wolf had replaced me. My clothes laid in tatters on the floor around my feet as Freya stared at me.“I could kill you.” She mumbles, summoning a ball of brilliant white light.“But you won’t.” I stopped speaking the moment I realised that I was linking her. How was that even possible? I didn’t belong to a pack, she didn’t belong to a pack.Her eyes stare into my own as the ball of white light is crushed.“How did you do that?” her words are barely a whisper as tears spring to her eyes. “He did it too, how are

    Logan’s POVThe men launched me back into the dungeon, sending my body rolling across the concrete ground.“Him?” I hear one of them mutter, but no one else speaks as the dungeon door slams shut. I had no idea what they were talking about. As I stand myself up, something moves behind me. Turning on the spot, I see Sam cuffed to the wall, his body beaten and bloodied. He wasn’t healing.“Sam, what the fuck happened?”“She tricked me. That witch tricked me!” He mumbles his words, while pulling faces, His bottom lip was swollen.“Why are you not healing?”“Wolfsbane!” He mutters, squeezing his eyes shut. Wolfsbane was fatal to him, to any wolf other than myself. I watched as his body cramped up. Pain and fire would be coursing through his veins. His only method of survival would be an antidote. Wolfsbane was the most dangerous thing to a werewolf.“Who knows you are here, Sam?”“No one!”Everyone else from the pack were too far away to reach through mind link. There were no other wolves

    Lana’s POVWe continue to stare at each other, his blood red eyes completely still. He doesn’t even appear to blink. When he suddenly leans back in his chair, swinging a leg up and crossing it over the other one. Just like how my adopted Dad would sit, urgh!He quickly stands, making me flinch and his smile fades as he frowns.“My attendance is needed. Please remain here so we can finish our conversation.” Shifters enter and their scent fills the room. It is overwhelmingly sickening. Hallen looks at me as he stands. “I don’t need you vomiting again. Perhaps you will feel more confident if Freya is here?”I nod my head and he sends the shifters away, asking them to send Freya. It’s a few minutes before she appears and her eyes dart to me.“Sam is safe.” She links me while keeping her head bowed. I didn’t even realise Sam was here. In my own selfishness, I had completely forgotten about my half brother. I hoped he was okay.“Freya, what took you so long?” Hallens voice echoes through th

    Logan’s POVHallen wouldn’t give me any more information. Instead he returned me to the dungeon. Sam was pacing up and down and Hallen glares at him. He knew someone had saved Sam, someone had given him an antidote.“Who saved you?” His voice is low, it echoes around the dark dungeon.“I did!” I tell Hallen.“How, you are a wolf like he is.”“You know wolfsbane doesn’t really harm me.” His red eyes move from Sam to me.“I certainly underestimated you.” He moves quicker than a blink of the eye. Slamming the dungeon door shut. Leaving Sam and I alone.“Well?” Sam questions.“There’s nothing.”“What do you mean? Lana is here right?”“Yes Lana is here. I tried to get inside his head but it was empty. There was no chaos like most peoples, no organisation like yours. There was nothing.”“It makes sense Logan, He is dead after all.”“He wasn’t even aware I was in there.”“Again, he is dead. What did you expect?”Hallen had said that I needed to look closer to home, had he been talking about

Besides, Abby and I had taken out loads of wolves in the last few years.“Keep moving.” He orders the rest of us and Freya lets out a little squeal. For someone that is constantly around death, she appeared to not like watching others die.Freya runs on ahead, side stepping around the body. Sam behind her as Logan pulls me along. “I won’t be letting you out of my sight again.” Logan links me and all I could do was nod my head at him.Hallen would be mad. Hallen would come for all of us but Logan didn’t seem to care about that at all.A main road was coming up ahead. Cars were travelling along it at speed, but it didn’t slow down our pace. The sun would be setting soon, awakening Hallen. He would be after us in no time.My grip on Logan must have changed because he stops us as Sam and Freya keep movi

    Lana’s POVMy mouth falls open as I stare at him, unsure of what he just said. He repeats the words, telling me that I lost consciousness, that my heart just suddenly stopped. How I scared everyone, that everyone was afraid of losing their Alpha.“That doesn’t make any sense.” The words come out all croaky and I realise how dry my throat is. Without hesitating, Logan hands me a glass of water. “Lana. What the hell happened out there? Did you eat something? Did you take something? Did Hallen give you something?” He was firing these questions at me, like I knew what had happened. I didn’t.All I remember is shifting and running, how each step started to hurt and how I felt cold. Even now, I was freezing.“Did Hallen do something to you Lana?”“No, well I don’t think so.” I wrap my arms around myself as the cold seeped in.“Freya has worked hard. She has been trying to figure out what happened to you.”“How? How am I alive?”He clenches his jaw, turning his gaze from me. Whatever it was

I couldn’t get her out of my head.When her heart stopped, pain ripped through me, worse than I had ever felt before.I may have jumped at the deal with Abby a little too quickly but I was not ready to lose Lana. Now she was marked by a vampire. A vampire that wanted to recreate a Blood Pack.Lana sits quietly. Little sighs escaping her. She hadn’t said anything, not since I told her that she was all I thought about.The clock ticking was driving me nuts. Every second seemed to last forever as I waited for her to say something.Her lips part, like she was going to say something. But she soon closes them again. Her eyes continue to remain on me, neither of us moving, neither of us speaking.“Why?” she finally chokes out.“You are asking me why I care?”“Uh huh” her head slowly moves up and down, her eyes wide like she is in some sort of trance.“It would seem like the bond is making my feelings for you gr

    Logan’s POV“What was all the noise about?” Her words are quiet. She blinks a few times and I see how her eyes are shaking. Just a little, but enough for me to notice as she turns her head in my direction.“Lana, are you okay?” It was a stupid question. It was obvious that she wasn’t.“I’m fine….” she wobbles slightly. Her hand reaching out to the door frame to steady herself.“Lana. I know you’re not.”As the blanket falls from her shoulders, she reveals her blood soaked pyjama shirt. There were slits in the material, just over her stomach. Like claws had raked over her.Uncle Liam rises from the chair as I demand to know what happened.“I did it.” She mutters as I run my fingers over the wounds. They were healing, just very slowly.“Why would you do this to yourself?”“I thought… I thought you had gone.”The whites of her eyes were dimming as she struggled to stand upright.“What do you mean? I’m right here.”“It hurts.” She mouths as she stumbles forward, crashing into me. Her eyes

    One year laterLana’s POVI never heard from Blake after that day. It was impossible for him to link me after I broke the bond between us. But it didn’t stop his wolves trying to locate me.For the first six months, it even made the news. That there was a new Alpha of Alpha’s. They gave my name and description, promising a reward if I was returned to them. But as time went on, my appearance on the news became less and less. The humans were losing interest. I was never spotted. I had had my hair permanently relaxed so I didn’t have to deal with the curls. I wore shades when it was sunny or brown contacts when the weather was rubbish. If I went out, I never went out alone. I was always with Dillon. A human.It had taken a couple of months before we officially became a couple. Though that didn’t stop us fooling around before then. Not once did I feel pressured with him. Not once did I feel like he was hiding something. He never hesitated to answer a question. He was different, he wasn’t

    Lana’s POV“I already know that.”“No you don’t. Not entirely.”Switching off the car engine. I turn to look at him properly. “What do you mean?”“Blake controls what he wants to control.”“I don’t follow.”“You really are naive, Lana. They told me that you were hard to convince. That you didn’t understand pack life. But you really can’t see what is right in front of you.” He pulls open the jeeps door, grabbing my hand, he places it on his chest. Just like Blake, he had no heartbeat.“How?” I mutter“We are all the same. Anyone that is under Blakes leadership ends up like us.”“Why would you follow him?” “Because it’s always too late. By the time we realise, there is no turning back.”“I don’t get it?”“Holy shit, Lana.” He shakes his head at me. “Are you just not willing to see it, is that it?”“See what? Blake said he made a deal.”“And you didn’t think to question it. He is the reason you killed Logan. He is the reason you chose him. He is the reason for everything.”“Why?”“Becau

    Lana’s POVLogan leans into me, gasping for breath. The Blade slips further into his heart. I couldn’t believe that I had done it. That I was the one to kill him. That I was the one to finally stop him.Xavier had told Blake that I was in the back of the car. Blake had talked me through the plan. He made it clear that I could not speak back to him. That if I were, it would give me away. That Logan would know.He told me that they were tracking me, that I would have to take a chance and throw myself from the car. I did exactly what I was told. The moment my feet hit the ground, I run into the forest. Logan had been steps behind me. If he had lunged forward, he probably would have got me. But Blake somehow pulls me away. Lifting my feet off the ground as he placed a hand over my mouth. He wasn’t alone. I could just make out Xavier and Abby hiding among the trees. Abby's eyes were looking in the direction I had just come from. Her lips moving.As Blake hands me the dagger. I felt the sa

    Logan’s POVShe had given herself to him. I could smell his stench all over her as I held her close. But she would be mine again soon enough. She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t fight me, even when I pin her against the door. She doesn’t even try to link Blake. In fact she does everything that I ask. Pulling her out of the window, I drop us to the ground. Checking that we were entirely alone before heading into the forest.Blakes men were stupid. They were easy enough to get past undetected. It helped that Lana followed me like a sheep. That she did everything I asked.Pushing her into the back seats of my hidden jeep, she still remains quiet. There was no heavy breathing, there weren’t even any tears. She looks back over her shoulder as I drive away from the new pack that Blake had created.“Don’t you dare link him.” I warn her. If she had already done so, there would be no chance that I would get out of the pack grounds alive.Her head moves up and down. Her brown eyes wide as they lo

    Lana’s POVHe was so angry. The grey of his eyes deepened as he snapped at me, pointing to the door. He must have seen the vision too. It was the only answer as to why he was so angry.“I don’t want to see Freya. I want to know what the vision means. I know you saw it too.”“It’s you.” He takes a step back. “It was never Logan. It was always you.”“I don’t know what you mean!” I did though. He had seen it as clearly as I had. The dead bodies piled up underneath me. The blood that was streaked across my face. How he and Logan were both looking up to me.“You know exactly what I mean Lana. Don’t try and play the fool now.”“I’m not… I…” I had no idea what to say and sit myself back down in his office chair. “I would never.”“Wouldn’t you? It’s not like you are sin free is it? You have killed wolves in your bid to find him. Your aim was to stop him.”“I didn’t, that was Abby. I was just… just there. I don’t want to do that. That isn’t me.”He lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me. “I

    Blake’s POVIt was like we had never been apart. Everything came flooding back. Every inch of her body was just as I remembered.Hurrying up the stairs, I run into Freya. She frowns and then asks if I had seen Lana. She didn't normally speak to me unless Calvin or Lana were around.“Yes, I’m just retrieving some clothes for her.”Her frown deepens until her brows suddenly shoot upwards, a big smile on her face. “Could you just tell Lana that I need to speak to her, like urgently.”“Is there a problem?”“Not exactly. Maybe, I guess. Nothing to do with Logan or anything thats happening.”She spins around and I catch the extra scent on her. She was pregnant.“You want me to tell Lana that you’re pregnant?”She turns back to me. Her eyes wide. “How did you know?”“I’m not stupid, your scent has altered to accommodate the hormones.”“I know you don’t like me Alpha Blake, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Not now, not ever.”“Have you told Calvin?”She shakes her head at me.“Then maybe start

    Lana’s POV“Logan is recreating the Blood Pack.” I mutter, casting my eyes in Blakes direction.“I warned you, Lana. I warned you about this shit. You should have stuck with the plan.”“The witch finally says something that I can agree with.” Blake sits on a bench against the furthest wall.I pull the collar of my tshirt down, “Can you get rid of this?”“It’s a mate bond, only rejection can.”“It’s not a true bond.”She gazes at me with her brown eyes, “He never confirmed it?”“No.”“He finally fucked up.” She mutters to herself. A smile spread across her face. “Lana, he screwed up.”“What do you mean, witch?” Blake spits on the ground. Clenching his teeth together.“That mark. He was supposed to confirm it. Kendra put it on you when she saw his mark. She used his blood to form a bond between you. Replicating his mark.”“Kendra? How do you know this?”I had had the mark for as long as I could remember.“Before she figured out the danger of what Logan could do. She thought connecting y

    Lana’s POVThere were talks every day. Some that I was shielded from, others where they encouraged me to talk. But I never had anything to say. Other than feeling like my head was going to explode.Blake was growing more and more pissed off when no one could come up with a plan. What Blake wanted to do was use me. I had agreed to it. But so many of the pack hated the idea. They thought that I would turn on them, or that Logan would use me to get exactly what he wanted.It didn’t help that Logan continued to call to me. He seemed to think that he could talk to me whenever he wanted. It was impossible for me to block him. He would never ask me how I was. It was always questioning me about Blakes plans. When I didn’t answer, he would grow mad and cut me off. And for a moment, I would find relief. He was choosing the Blood Pack over me.I had stopped trying to fight it or trying to hide it. Blake would always know. He had already said that Logan was trying to break me down. I finally beli

    Blake’s POVFive days had passed and there had been no sign of him. It was like he had fallen off the Earth. I sent people out everyday. But there wasn’t even a single piece of evidence that suggested he had returned home or that he had come anywhere near my pack.Lana wasn’t herself either. She would wander the house. Often deep in thought. I tried to talk to her but it was like talking to a brick wall. Anything that I said just didn’t sink in. Sometimes I would find her in a corner, muttering to Freya. They would stop talking the moment they saw me.I didn’t like the witch being here, but I had very little choice in the matter. Calvin had already marked the witch. If I threw her out, then I would have problems with my brother and Lana. It was a shitty scenario that I was trying my hardest to ignore. Aiming to focus on the bigger problem of Logan.More and more of my pack from Europe turned up everyday. New homes were constantly being built on the land. It was expanding quickly, but
