Kian povThe car ride has taken several hours, and I have used the time to look at every map of the area I can find and satellite footage.All I have been able to see is a thick forest over the area and nothing has been revealed on the ground."we're almost there!" Cannon says when we take off from the main road.It has started to get dark outside and it won't take long before the sun has completely gone down.Cannon gets a phone call and answers it!Trying to listen to who it is I instantly figure out it's Emma by the tone of his voice. He ends the phone call after a short moment and drags a hand down his face, at the sight of him, he didn't get any good news from her."can you tell me what that was about?" I ask him when he doesn't say anything."I guess we have found out how he can know about the herb and make the potions," he says when the car comes to stop outside the pack house and looking over at the entrance I see the Alpha and his men standing and waiting for us."How?" I ask
Selena povHe gave me the syringe in my thigh and the pain it brought to me made me pass out, I even wished for death to take me instead.I thought this was it when the bond started to fade away, it felt like a part of me where about to die when suddenly the thin thread that connected me to Kian stopped and pulled away. Just like it's laying somewhere deep down, not completely gone but broken.My heart feels like it has shattered into small pieces and the only one who can mend it together is Kian.Tears run down my cheeks where I lay in the bed, prisoned in my own body not able to move or fight him, my heart goes out to Kian, and the thought he won't survive this brings a sob to my lips, he is my mate!I should be stronger than this! I should be strong enough to fight for my destined mate, but I'm nothing more than a breathing blood bag right now to feed Elijah's obsession with me!Opening my eyes I look right into a pitch-black room, not a light in sight and I know it has to be in th
Selena pov There is some movement beside me I realize I'm back in the bed again and Elijah is laying beside me. Feeling my body and I have started to get some strength back, I feel it deep down something has changed, and starting to gain strength. "I hadn't planned for you to pass out again! I was about to give you a nice moment when you suddenly were out!" I hear his voice and open my eyes to see the room is still black, turning my head I see him laying beside me in only a pair of boxers, I feel relieved he didn't get to do something more to me! "Now is time for your refill!" he says and I know I have to buy myself some time to try and get as much strength back as I can, whatever he is giving me has me weak and unable to move, cut off from my wolf. "what is it you are giving me?" I ask the one thing I come to think of. "Nice to hear your voice again!" he says when I feel him get up from the bed and move around in the room before he turns on a light by the window. "It's a rare h
Selena povWell, they can forget about it! If I get my strength back my only mission is to kill them all for what they have done to me and Kian, now my target it's not only Elijah but all of them!I will not stop until I have gotten my revenge!Give me my strength back and I will bring them hell for this!Trying to move any muscle in my body I feel some movement in my fingers, I can't move too much and alert Elijah my strength is slowly coming back!He starts to lift the blanket off my body when he takes my arm in his hand, his nose comes down to my wrist when he takes a large inhale. I can't have him sucking more of my blood and weakening me more."how long have you been a vampire and how come you know how to mask your scent?" I ask him when he stops and lifts his head to look at me."Why do you want to know?" he asks and doesn't take his eyes away from me, I know I have to keep calm and don't give away any motions to have him question what I'm up to."Only want to get to know you be
Kian povHearing voices around me I open my eyes and see I'm laying on the bed. Adjusting my eyes to the lights in the room I feel weak and hollow.Remembering this feeling all too well I try to sense for our bond but it's gone, I can't feel her!Laying there on the bed I only know I can't let him complete it, I have to find her."how is it with him!" I hear Declan's voice and know I'm not alone in the room."He's hanging in there" Cannon answers when I try to sit up."I can answer that question for you, I'm dying!" I say and feel Cannon behind me helping me to sit up in the bed. Swinging my legs over the edge of the bed I have to hold on to the bed when my head starts to spin."what happened!" Zoey asks and looking at her she is clearly worried. Turning my head back I place my hands on the edge and try to get up when Cannon is behind me and give a push so I'm standing up."he managed to break the bond!" I say and take a large breath, I'm weak but have to get out there to look for her
Selena povHearing them talk in the room I lay completely still to not give away that I'm awake, feeling my new ability sizzling under my skin like a barrier to shield me and I get this feeling none of them will notice anything.They won't sense I'm awake or that my gift has brought my strength back!I could portal away from here and get back to my pack but that's not my goal anymore, I'm here for my revenge and my revenge I will get!"the sun is almost up and you only have a few hours to complete the bond!" I hear a man say in the room before I hear them walk closer to where I lay on the bed, pretending to still be out.I hear them sniff in the air and stop right beside me on the bed."she's about to go into heat! I bet she was close to getting into heat with Kian before you took the mate bond away, this will make it easier for you!" the man says and I hear them both laugh.I have to admit I'm smiling on the inside because none of them have any idea what's about to happen and once th
Kian povTaking a few steps closer to the bushes by the swamp Cannon and Jessie come walking up behind me turning my head to look back I see everyone else walking on the small path over the swamp.Hearing some sounds coming from the house I snap my head in that direction and see some men get out and stand outside the house.I'm about to get further ahead, ready to take them on when I get grabbed from behind and Cannon starts to drag me back."Get away from here now!" he booms out and starts dragging me with him away from my place. I try to get him to loosen his grip on me when all I see is a purple light hit us all and I get blasted back by the shock wave.The impact is massive and everything becomes dark for a moment.Opening my eyes I find myself laying on the ground with my lower body in the swamp, trying to feel my body when I turn around on my stomach. It's ringing in my ears and my vision is blurry when I try to get up from my place, turning my head and looking around I try to s
Selena povI register when something heavy falls on my body and his mark is burning painfully, I know he is dead and that brings me some relief through the pain. I can't move a muscle and it doesn't take long before I feel how my body starts to shut down bit by bit!My only goal was to get my revenge and I was prepaid for this, I'm cut off from my wolf and can't heal properly. Every breath I take hurts tremendously and I have no sight in front of me, debris from the house is laying on top of me and right now I have air to breathe but not for long.I fall in and out of consciousness when I thought I heard his voice from far away, but that can't be! I'm only imagining things that can't possibly happen!Tears run down my cheek when it's getting harder to breathe, I'm ready to give up and let go. What's there to hold on to when I've lost my true mate, the pain it brings me is more than I can live with!I feel something being lifted off me when his hand comes to my cheek and I know it's on
