My bones feel heavy and my mind feels like it is being weighed down by shackles. My back also seemed to pulse but not in a way that hurt.

I want to stat like this, half delirious, half in the clutches of sleep and half awake but my body had other plans as my mind started to wake.

I woke up feeling numb all over. I reached behind me to feel my back but my fingers came in contact with a cold sticky balm. I wiped my hands on my laps and forced my body into a sitting position.

I leaned my head back against the wall while making sure my back didn’t touch it at all and I tried my bond again but i couldn’t get through and I swore under my breath.

“It’s not going to work,” my body went on high alert when I heard his voice, “Your mind link isn’t going to work.”

Hunter walked into the cell and let his eyes roam over my body slowly. I fought the urge to cringe from his stare and he just gave me a smirk in return.

“Other than the fact that your chains are laced with wolfs bane; I had a witch cast

    Hunter led me to the door before leaving to change the shirt I puked on. I almost gloated in my victory when I saw him retreat.Charlotte- 1, Hunter- 0He must have noticed my glee because he gave me a stern warning.“Behave Charlotte,” he warned, “Or I will not be responsible for my actions after.”He disappeared up a flight of stairs and I stood behind a pair of oak doors. I can smell them from here; father’s cologne and Liana’s scent that reminds me of rotted flowers. I exhaled deeply and pushed open the doors.I don’t know how I expected go feel on seeing them. My family had occupied a crevice at the back of my mind for so long that they almost seemed fictional. But seeing them and inhaling their scent, my steps almost faltered.My father looked the same as always with his graying black hair, his dark eyes held so much anger towards me.Carmen looked bored but I knew she was invested because she sat at the edge of her seat and would occasionally glance up from her perfectly manic

    JAKE’S P.O.VThe entire pack has been in disarray since Charlotte went missing. It was just 3 days ago but it feels like a lifetime. I will never forget the panicked note in Logan’s voice when he called me.“Where is Charlotte?” he had asked, “She screamed my name down the bond but I can’t get to her anymore.”We checked the entire pack house and even went back to his place but she wasn’t there and neither was Kevin. It wasn’t exactly difficult to put two and two together. Hunter had struck when we least expected, he took Charlotte from right under her nose and now the entire pack is suffering for it.Diana has been crying nonstop, Greg had to leave her at home for the past two days so she doesn’t upset the children. Today is her first day back.And Logan- Logan is a shell of his former self. He is all brutal rough edges and no one goes near him for fear that he will snap at them. The only people who see him are Greg, Samantha and I.I knocked on the door of the day care softly and Di

    JAKE’S P.O.V (TW FOR THE CHAPTER)After the clip was over Logan calmly asked us to leave his office and return only when it’s time for the meeting. I didn’t want to but Greg pulled me out.“He shouldn’t be alone right now.” I argued. “Alone time is exactly what he needs.”“You watched that too, didn’t you?” I asked, “That is his mate right there, if it was Diana-.” “If it was Diana, I would want to be alone as well.”“He is upset.” “Rightly so, his anger is justified.” Greg sighed, “Let him stay alone and process.”I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration, “You don’t even look fazed by what you just saw. She was lying in a pool of her own blood. Some trained soldiers will cave before going through what she just did.”“I’m upset, don’t get me wrong. But what use would it be if I show it and throw a fit? It won’t bring her back.” “I know it won’t,” I said, “I just-.”Greg put a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. This is the first time he has t

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VPain, anger and shame; those are the only feelings I can pin point from the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me.Logan- he must be so disgusted by what he saw. I just let him- I should have fought harder. I should never have let him-Just the thought of what he did was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I thought I had everything under control but Hunter is worse than I thought.I did everything possible to ignore the throbbing pain in my centre as well as the horrible bloody mixture lying between my thighs- he didn’t even clean up after himself.The cell door creaked open and my spine went ramrod straight. I saw a guard walk in with a tray of food and I relaxed slightly but the tension came back when I felt his eyes on me.I tried to find him but he was hidden beneath the shadows.The guard put the food in front of me but I refused to even glance it. There is no way I will be eating his junk after- just after. Instead I curled my legs towards my chest and buried

    LOGAN’S P.O.VAngerPainDisappointmentMurderThese feelings have been my constant companions for a while. I can barely remember what it feels like when I didn’t have these emotions filling up my every thought.Once in a while I find myself feeling serene and that’s when I burn out and fall asleep. Then, I have a little peace when I dream about Charlotte and I.When I wake up, the emotions come back in full force. I haven’t slept in almost 36 hours. Fatigue is a lot better than realizing that she isn’t in my arms and succumbing to the crippling disappointment.Every night by 8 p.m I get a new video from Hunter. Some are already pre recorded and some are live. On some days, he sends me two videos but no day has gone by without me receiving at least one.It has been exactly 14 days since I received the first one and I can’t seem to stop myself from watching them. Jake and Greg don’t know about them obviously, I told them Hunter hadn’t contacted me but the truth is; I don’t want them to

    LOGAN’S P.O.VI was out for a day- a whole day. I will strangle Greg slowly and surely when I see him.The door to my office opened. Speak of the devil- he waltzed right in with Jake at his heels looking completely at ease as if he didn’t just drug me twenty four hours ago.“You drugged me,” I said simply and he shrugged, “Why? I could have spent the last hours searching for her and I could have found something. “Don’t blame me; it was his idea.” He jerked his thumb at Jake, “But I completely supported it so I guess I am at fault.”“This isn’t a joke,” I slammed my fist against my desk and I heard a crack, “What if I missed something important in the last twenty four hours that could have been crucial in finding her?” “I’m sorry,” he said softly, “I should not have drugged you, I realize that.”I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, “Why are you here?”“Aubrey got back to me five minutes ago,” he took a seat, “Hunter has been sighted going towards murder valley

    “If you kill me then you won’t be able to find your talisman.” I said and the corner of her lips lifted. “I don’t need him to find the talisman,” she busied herself with scattering a few herbs, “I can just creep into his mind and get it- I already know his name. But I do need him to give it to me.”“If I die he won’t give it to you.” “Actually he will,” she smirked, “You see, we did a blood oath where as long as I do everything in my power to break your bond then I can take the talisman. If you die or not it doesn’t matter; I did my end of the bargain so I get the talisman.”I gaped at how nonchalant she looked about the whole thing, “You’re crazy.”She gasped in mock hurt, “I just like to have a little fun sometimes.”“Does breaking a mating bond sound like fun to you?” “Yes it does actually,” she looked at me as if I was stupid, “It will be such an epic love story- well it’ll be a tragic story for you and your mate but that isn’t really my problem now, is it?”“Yo

    JAKE’S P.O.VLogan is a possessive bastard, I always knew that but this is a whole other level of possessive that I have ever seen.I found Charlotte slumped on the floor in the middle of a ring of chalk. As soon as I saw her I had to let Logan know and I picked her up slowly- but no matter how careful I was, I was still handling the wounds on her back.She must have been knocked out or drugged because she didn’t even flinch.As soon as Logan saw us he took her from my arms and that was it. I have never seen his emotions so visibly on display. There was pain, anger, disbelief, relief and love shining through his eyes as he held her.Everyone had the common sense to give them a car to themselves and I was the designated driver.But that wasn’t where the real problem began, the real problem began when we got on the plane. I had asked our pack doctor to go with us but Logan wouldn’t release his grip on Charlotte long enough for her to be checked.He went into the bedroom at the back of t

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V Adamaris and the council were able to break the bond between me and Esmeralda before finally executing her and destroying the talisman. We held Samantha’s burial the next day. It felt wrong to hold it until after Esmeralda was dead. It was so difficult for me to stand next to her body and act like it wasn’t my fault she was dead. Logan assured me no one felt that way, but I felt that way. What made it a lot harder was having to explain to Amelia that her mum was going away. She wasn’t even two yet, she didn’t understand the concept of death, and she just stayed in my arms and kept on screaming the word ‘mummy’ over and over again. Logan tried to take her away from me but she refused to let anyone else hold her. Amelia’s things were moved into our house the day after the funeral. She was a frolicky baby with a terrible sleep schedule. I attributed that to the fact that she missed her mum. Considering each time she woke up, she would ask for her mother. A lot of pe

    THIRD PERSON’S P.O.VCharlotte was mingling with the guests with a smile on her face. She had the part of being Luna down to a pat, she was sweet, respectful and paid attention to every little detail.Logan stayed behind her to give her space to talk to the people, but also close enough that he always had her in his sight. He was on edge and for good reason too; they hadn’t heard from the witch in a few days and that probably meant she was waiting for a good time to strike.A little girl walked up to Charlotte and softly tugged at the hem of her hoodie. Charlotte turned her attention to the girl with a smile on her face. She crouched down so she was at eye level with her.“Can I help you?” she asked and the girl nodded. “I was wondering how it feels to be pregnant.” Charlotte was taken aback by the question.“I don’t know; I’ll let you know when I am pregnant.”She started to rise but the girl held onto her arm with a grip that seemed too strong for a girl who looked no older

    The next twenty four hours after Adamaris got rid of the brand were entirely uneventful. I guess that should have been my clue that it was the calm before the storm.The day actually started out like any normal day. I woke up with Logan bringing me breakfast in bed, then I lay back while he ran his fingers in circles on my baby bump. I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile but his fingers never slowed.“Are we going to stay here all day?” I asked and he raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be happy that you have a day off from all the drama?”“I am happy,” I admitted, “I was just curious as to why we haven’t moved yet.” “We don’t have anywhere to go for now,” he explained, “Do you remember the changes you approved for the school music department?” I nodded, “Well they’ve been implemented and today is the grand unveiling.”“I totally forgot about that.” “I told them to go ahead with it while you were,” he trailed off, “While you were gone.”He seemed to close off

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VWe all sat in silence while Greg sketched. Logan made tea for me while we waited. Adamaris muttered something about how chivalry is dead since Logan didn’t make one for her too. This led Logan to mutter about how witches should get their own mates to do things for them.They kept on trading back and forth quips between themselves until Greg muttered something about how he was close to stabbing his ears with his pencil. I giggled and they both shot me looks as if I had betrayed them.A little over half an hour later, Greg was done with the sketch and when I saw it, I was taken aback by how life like it looked. He got every single feature of her perfectly, from the slight crookedness of her nose to the fullness of her lips and even down to the meanness of her smirk.After staring at it for a while, I passed it on to Adamaris. She took one look at it and cursed.“Do you know her?” I asked and she nodded. “She used to be in my coven,” she said slowly as she fold

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VI woke up to Adamaris sitting on a chair cross legged and looking bored out of her mind. She had cleared up the circle of salt and moved Kaden and Aubrey to a more comfortable lying position.Logan and Evan were still knocked out on the floor in the same position and I stifled a smile. Leave it to Adamaris to let the men suffer. Aubrey and Kaden began to stir; Kaden stirred first and as if she heard him, Aubrey moved too.Aubrey sat up first and cradled her head in her hands for a few seconds. It wasn’t until she heard Kaden’s whimper that her head snapped up and she rushed to him.He buried his face into her chest while she whispered a few words in his ears, too low for even my werewolf hearing to pick up on. Kaden just nodded and gave his mum a smile.Kaden looked up and saw me and he gave me a small smile. “Hey Charlie, I’m sorry I fell asleep.” I felt my lips curl up at the sides. He turned to Adamaris and gave her a confused look, “Hello, who are you?”“That’s n

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VIt was Logan who snapped out of his reverie and realized that we still needed to find Adamaris a place to sleep. Thankfully, she has her house (I still don’t understand what the hell she means by that). She said that all she needs is a large expanse of land, preferably in the woods.Logan wanted me to stay home but I’m not going to let him go alone, especially since everyone is in this mess because of me. Reluctantly, he handed me one of his big, warm hoodies and I pulled it over my head.I sat in front with Logan while Adamaris and Celeste sat at the back. The drive was tense and quiet; Logan had one hand on my leg to keep me grounded because my thoughts were going haywire.Adamaris was lost in thought, her eyes were kept fixed on the window. Celeste was staring at me, not in a creepy way, but in a way that kept me alert. Occasionally, her eyes would move from my face to Logan’s hand on my thigh and back.I caught her eye through the mirror and she gave me a smile t

    Logan and I decided to make dinner together. It’s been a while since I baked anything and I was itching to get into the kitchen.It was extremely fun, especially because he kept sticking his finger into the batter for the brownies and he would always pull away before I can whack him with the spatula.When we were done, we went to our room and he sat up against the headboard while I leaned against his chest as he fed me brownies.“Were you able to get in touch with Aubrey?” I asked and he nodded. “I spoke to Evan and they’ll be here tomorrow with their son.”“He agreed to that,” I was shocked that he did, if anything, I expected Evan to put up a fight about letting their son into anther territory. “He didn’t want to at first, believe me.” he scoffed, “But then he realized that it was for his benefit, not mine. He finally agreed on the condition that he comes with guards.”“He’s a bit over protective; we would never hurt him or his son.” “I think he’s the right amount

    I sat up in alarm, “What do you mean she’s here?”“She got into my head,” his face was a calm mask but I could see the annoyance swirling in his eyes from being interrupted, “She wanted to give us time to be presentable; something about not wanting to see another wolf naked.” “For good reason too,” Adamaris strutted into the room, “I’ve been scarred enough for one lifetime.”She was wearing a black long sleeved bodysuit with skinny jeans and a huge brown jacket over it. She paired it with black high heeled boots. Her lips were painted a dark red color and her eyes were hidden behind dark shades.When she took them off, I could see deep bags under her eyes.“You don’t look good,” I began, “Is everything okay?” “That’s what happens when you’re bonded to someone who can’t seem to stay out of trouble.” Her tone was cold and sharp. “I was booted out of your head during a game with my daughter this morning; what was that about?”“I don’t know,” I looked to Logan for support, and

    There was a sharp pounding in my skull and a soft hand caressing my curls in steady strokes. I let out a small groan as I forced my eyes open.Logan was leaning over me with a soft expression on his face. His hand in my hair stilled as I stared at him. His expression alternated between anger, fierce protectiveness and worry.I took in my surroundings and realized I was in our room- well, what used to be our room anyways. The chairs were turned over and I can see glass shards at the door of the bathroom. Wood splinters were sticking out of the door and the curtains had been ripped off and somehow replaced.Logan had the decency to look a little sheepish, “I’ll fix the room; I promise.”“It’s okay,” I murmured with a wonky smile but he didn’t return it, “Hey, what’s wrong?”I tried to sit up but he stopped me, “Don’t; stay down.”“I’m fine, Logan.” I told him as I sat up. His face showed that he didn’t agree with me. “What happened?” “You blacked out,” he muttered, “I heard you and
