Logan’s POV“What is it?” Freya asks, peering over my shoulder as I stand in front of the shelves.“It’s nothing.” I don’t touch it. I am confused though. I hadn’t worn it in ages and I definitely did not leave it here.“Well it’s gotta be something, or do I need to send for help because you have lost the plot?” She let’s a little laugh, stopping the moment I look at her.“You’re part witch. Can you sense anything?”“Around that?” She points to the bracelet and looks closer to it, suddenly pushing me back. “Don’t touch it.”“What the hell are you talking about, Freya?”“Don’t touch it.” She glances around the room and picks up one of my father’s ties that still sat on display. She carefully drapes the tie over it, covering the bracelet entirely, carful to avoid it with her own bare fingers.“Are you going to tell me what you are doing?”“It’s a talisman, Alpha. Not a good one either.” She turns around to look at me, her blue eyes wide. “You have been wearing this?”“I was, yes. Kendra
Lana’s POVPacing the room, waiting for Blake to say something else was nerve wracking. I still couldn’t believe he was already here, but why would Logan have let him come alone. Logan had said over and over, that a single wolf didn’t stand a chance against Hallen.The door finally starts to open and I take a step back, uncertain of who might be on the other side.Blakes strange grey eyes come into view and then hers, Kendras. He wasn’t holding her, she wasn’t tied up or anything. Like they were there, together.“There, are you happy now?” Kendra’s irritating voice pierced my ears as she glared at Blake.“Don’t assume that I am happy.”“Well, you have seen her, now get lost.” Kendra stares into the back of Blakes head as he takes a step forward into the doorway.“Never assume.” He mutters, smiling at me. Was the statement for me or for Kendra?He grabs hold of Kendra and pulls her into the room. She starts muttering under her breath as Blake grabs her throat with his large hand.“I su
Blake’s POVShe looked horrified as I removed the blade from his chest. She should recognise the blade, but I was unsure. It had been in her bedroom when I went snooping. Not in the room she shared with Logan, but the one that had been designated to her. The blade was hidden under the bed. She might not have even known it was there. The blades of the Blood Pack seemed to have a life of their own.“You killed him! You. Actually killed him.”“He needed to die. The shit he was causing. That’s not a life for you.”“Huh?”“You cannot be associated with him, Lana.”“You have just started a war.” Her brown eyes are wide as she looks between me and the disintegrating vampire. "You said that if a wolf killed a vampire, it would start a war. Why would you do that?"“The war is coming either way.”Her jaw drops open. She shakes her head a little. Her eyes finally resting on the blade that I had killed Hallen with.“Is that mine?”“Yes, it is the blade that belongs to you. A pretty thing for a p
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?
