Lana’s POVThere was no point anymore. My life was falling to pieces. I had a man standing in front of me that didn’t give a shit. So much so that he had set me up. I had a mate that was in a constant battle with his feelings over me. I had been played my entire life by the very person I was closest too. I was done.I call my wolf forward, letting her take over. I feel the shift in my body as my bones start to crack. It would be an easy death, painful, but simple. It would be no ones fault.“Lana, stop! Don’t do this.” Blake calls out to me.I already felt weak, weaker than usual as my wolf forced herself forward.“Lana, you can’t do this.”Blake grabs hold of my shoulders as my bones continue to crack. It was almost as painful as my first time. Almost like my body knew it would be the last time.My clothes start to split at the seams as my body is thrown to the ground.“Lana. You have to stop this.” I could see the fear in his grey eyes.“This is what you want!”“I was wrong. Now sto
Logan’s POVBlake had sent word two days ago. Letting me know that Lana was safe. The letter also announced that he would have her back to me as soon as he could. I would be grateful when this shit with Hallen was over.“Are you even listening to me?” Freya prods my arm, shaking out her blonde curls. “What’s so important that you can’t even listen to me.”Her eyes fall to the letter in my hand.“Must be important!” she tries to peer over my shoulder, but I screw the letter up before she has a chance to see anything. Something just felt off about his words and yet, I knew he would do everything to get Lana back to me.“It doesn’t matter. Now what did you drag me out here for?” We were stood in the middle of the forest, in a small clearing.“It does matter, but you clearly don’t want to talk about it, so….”She throws my bracelet to the ground between us.“You have come up with a way to destroy it?” She had been talking about her ideas over the last couple of days.“I think so, but I wa
Lana’s POVBlake leaves me in the house. Shutting me away in another of the many rooms. He tells me to be quiet and that I wouldn’t have any problems.When I questioned him, he glared at me. The glare was cold, it had me backing up as he swiftly left.Trying the door was useless. It didn’t budge. “Sit tight, I won’t be long!” He links me, which only infuriates me further.“How…” But he had already cut me off, blocking me from speaking to him.Logan was still too far away for me to link. I just needed a connection with someone.I had no idea how long I had been away from Logan, and right now I was willing to do anything to get back to him. Anything!I could see something catching the sunlight. It was almost like it was hidden in plain sight. Moving, I realise what it is. My blade, the very one that Blake had decided to start a war with. How was it here? I thought Blake had taken it with him?In the reflection of the metal, I could just about make out the hideous mark that Blake had le
Logan’s POVBlake makes his excuses fairly quickly and disappears. From the window, I watched him go back into the trees, in the exact spot he had appeared..Something was off with him, I watched the colour drain from his face before he took off. If anyone had linked him, he hid it well.“I told you that you shouldn’t trust him.” Freya leans against the office door, her arms folded across her chest.“You’re right. I think I need to stop trusting anyone.”“Are you talking about me?”“It seems like everyone is keeping secrets from me.”She stares at me with her bright blue eyes. “I have told you everything that I know. If you need to, just look. I haven’t got anything to hide anymore.”I eye her up, people didn’t normally offer such a thing. I had always done it by force except for one. I had never been able to get into Blake’s mind. Not even as a child. I was pretty sure it was to do with this death thing that surrounds him.“Where do you want me?” Freya smiles at me, was she trying to
Blake’s POVWhen Leo links me, I already knew that something was wrong. I make my excuses with Logan and walk swiftly across the pack grounds. The moment I am out of sight, hidden by trees. I strip off, shifting and racing towards my new home. Something was wrong with Lana. I could feel it in my bones.Crashing in through the front door. Leo and Calvin were arguing. Something about who should be the one to tell me.“Where is she?” I demand through mind link and they both stare at me, like they were surprised to see me. I realised that I was still in wolf form and neither of them had seen my large grey wolf. It was rare that I shifted these days. Lana had already seen me, but that was because I had to make sure she survived.Transforming back, they look relieved when they see it's me. Though now I am more concerned that they froze rather than attacked when a strange wolf appeared in the new packhouse.“Where is she?” I ask again and Leo points to an open door. “She is out cold.”“You?
Lana’s POV “He said that my blade did this.” I moan at Calvin who just nods his head. “He said that I’m going to die because of this.” Again, Calvin just nods his head at me, only irritating me further. “Do you believe that or is he telling me a lie?” “I haven’t ever known of Blake lying.” “What is that supposed to mean?” I throw myself down on to the bed the moment Calvin opens the door but he just hovers in the room. Like he didn't know what to do with himself. “For someone that seems to have things straight, you certainly don’t seem to be able to read between the lines.” He scratches his messy chocolate curls and avoids making eye contact with me. "Pretty much makes sense why you don't really know much about your own kind." "What?" “Alpha Blake is pretty much an open book. You always get your answers, it just might be that you don’t want to hear it.” His dark eyes shine brightly and his response had me running previous conversations with Blake through my mind. “Why did he m
Logan’s POVI had already built a small army, preparing them for what we might face. They had known that something was wrong, they just couldn’t bring themselves to ask. I wasn’t always an easy going Alpha, I liked to keep my guard when it came to my private life.We were already making a move when I felt the searing pain radiate out from the mark on my chest. I may not be able to link her but my mark could tell me everything that I needed to know about if she was safe or not. She was in danger.Freya was keeping me informed from her hde out. But she hadn’t seen Lana either. It was like she was being kept locked up and I hated it. My problem wasn’t just Blake anymore, he had started something that there was no coming back from. A war with the vampires and either way there was going to be a lot of deaths. Deaths that could have been prevented.The second time the pain fired out along my chest, it brought me to my knees. The way it radiated through me, I thought this was it. For a mome
Blakes’s POVHe looked at me like I was mad. His face turns red as he growls. His purple eyes were brighter than I had ever seen them.“Her dagger?” He growls “How the fuck did she get that?”“You know about it?”“Of course I fucking know. Those daggers are linked to my family. Though the last one that I saw apart from Lana's was my mothers.”“But you never had one. You always said as a kid that you wanted one.”“I never needed one! I am more powerful than a blade.” His nostrils were flaring now“Then shut up and let me help our mate.” I wave my arm at him“What did you say?” His voice was dropping lower and lower.“That’s what she is now. OURS! Because I had to mark her just to fucking save her. Now wind your neck in because right now, the only thing that is helping her is my blood.”His fist meets the wall. The plaster cracks and pieces drop away from the wall. Lana stirs but doesn’t open her eyes.“Men! I need you to focus. This girl isn’t going to get better if you two are at log
