Ares PovAfter the announcement at the hall, Madison and Isabelle made it their mission to badger me for details. I told them I wanted to hang out with Adriana since Jason was busy looking for a solution to our problem, but that did not deter them. Not even a little. They questioned me in front of Addy.By the time night came, I was spent. All I looked forward to was just cuddling with Jason to sleep. Which we did, then we had an early morning sex and a ‘be careful’ sex, as he prepared to leave for Killian's pack.“Is there anyone that can perform the ritual for us?” I asked “Lyla and Wyatt are the oldest in the pack, but only Lyla is fit enough to perform it” he said as he put on his shirt, I got up and helped him with it.“Can she do it for us?” “I'll ask her when I get back” he said “but we'll only do it if you are absolutely sure you want to” “I am” I said. “Okay” he nodded.“I don't want you to shift in front of everyone today. You can select a few that you think you can trust”

Jason's PovThe terrain changed the closer we got to the jade wolf pack. Killian's pack. This would be my second time visiting here. I came once with my dad when I was twelve. Now, it just looked unfamiliar to me.We arrived at the border of Killian's territory and we met vigilant guards. They looked like Carlton's size, but moved with such quietness that rivalled ninjas. They escorted us through the dense forest to the heart of the pack. The atmosphere crackled with tension, an aura of suspicion and rivalry hanging in the air.Killian is a stern and shrewd Alpha. One that people hardly see, but his reputation for how he treated trespassers and rogues had spread far and wide. He awaited our arrival. I had to leave the two guards I came with outside and walked in only with Josh.As we stepped into his office, his piercing gaze bore into me, a calculated display of authority and scrutiny. "Jason," Killian greeted, his tone cool and guarded.“Killian," I responded with measured respect,

Maverick's PovIt's been three months since I rejected and had Ares thrown out, Two months since I forced my Dad into retirement and a month and half since I started searching for her.I have no idea if what the girl said was right, but since my Dad started acting strangely after that day, I suspect she was. She claimed to be a seer, yet she couldn't tell me where I would find her. Giving me vague clues and cryptic messages. I would have killed her if she wasn't necessary.“We've been at this for weeks now, Maverick. It's time we call it off” James said to me. He was against sending her away in the first place. “No one's calling anything off until I say so.” I said through clenched teeth.I needed to go talk to that seer again. If she wasn't going to. say anything meaningful, then perhaps her usefulness is overrated. Or maybe she needed a little motivation, something to get her moving.“Get up!” I shouted at her. Halting her meditation. No one will zen if I don't get what I want. “Tem

Ares PovWe all gathered in Jason's office to discuss yesterday's meeting with the Jade wolf pack. By we I meant Jason, Luke, Josh, Carlton and I.“How was it?” Luke asked, “it was okay. It went better than I expected” Jason answered. “Don't sugarcoat it Alpha. He was a total nut job. Everything you both worked on was tweaked in one way or another to suit his taste” Josh said“No blood was spilled, right?” I asked them both. “None of ours. Though I can't say the same to whoever was screaming at their dungeons.” Josh answered “We now have an ally. His main request is that we keep him in the loop of things.” Jason said, “Carlton, is two weeks enough to train the volunteers?” “It's not enough, but I can try,” Carlton said. “That's good enough for me. There's this thing I noticed at Killian's pack.” Jason saidWe all looked at him, waiting to hear what it was “Josh, do you remember how they walked stealthily?” He turned to Josh “yeah. It was almost as if they were walking on air. We coul

She brought along a cauldron and lit the logs underneath it that they had set up earlier.“The water, Luke” she said to Luke who passed her the fetcher he stored the water in. She put it in the cauldron and we all waited until it started boiling.“The sand to represent the earth” she stretched her hands to Jason. I haven't asked him where he went to pick it up from.“You did well Jason,” Lyla said after receiving the sand. I turned to him in question “it's from my parents grave. Since they couldn't be here. I wanted them to be a part of this” he explainedI smiled at him. I understood him, but I couldn't understand how she could tell. If the Powers hadn't supported Alpha Matt's decision to kick me out of the pack, I would have loved to have them here too. I know they didn't have a choice, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.The wind picked up, fueling the fire and blowing the rising steam from the cauldron to our faces, completing the final ingredient. It was a perfectly timed coinc

Jason's PovIt's been three days since the ritual and two days since Ares healed Adriana, who was now more clingy than ever to her. Even going as far as throwing tantrums to sleep on the same bed with Ares. I let it happen, but not anymore. I can't take the couch again.“How is it going?” I asked Carlton as I inspected the training. “Well, more than a few have dropped out. Now, it's just these twelve, but expect more to drop”I sighed. I guess I expected that, but hearing it still dampens the mood. “Increase the training hours so those that want to leave will leave now and we can cater for who's left.” “We're already doing five hours a day if I increase it for another two or three, they might all break”“It’s a necessary evil. Do it.” “okay”“Alpha, Alpha Cain's here. He's at the border right now” Luke informs me through the pack link.“Who is he with?” I ask him “just him and a guard”Either he's been too cautious or something's going on. He delayed the meeting all this while only f

Maverick's Pov I've sent James back to the pack to ease the minds of those I left behind. It wasn't really a hard decision. He was already working my last nerve. It was either that, maim him or kill him. I doubt the pack will trust me much if I killed my own beta. “You've been searching for days now rogue, is your sense of direction that bad?” I said, hitting his already bruised face. “I swear it was around here somewhere. I don't know why I can't find it anymore.” he spat out another loose tooth and blood and started looking around frantically. “You are becoming as useless as the seer. The only difference being you're disposable and she isn't. At least not yet” “I swear. It was around here.” He said again. “You have repeated that word one too many times. ‘I swear'. Your swear means nothing if you can't back it up with facts or evidence” I knelt down to his level “I'll give you one more chance. So think carefully about your answers before you say them. Are we in the right direct

Ares’ PovIt's nerve wracking as I watch the volunteers prepare to leave. With each gear they arrange, I feel muscles coil on itself. I've ingrained each face into my memory. Well, all but one.Carlton helps them with their gears while giving them advice. “Even if you're all going in at different points, put your safety first. If you feel like you're in danger, fall back and signal to the rest of the pack and if you can't signal them, then leave a clue so they can find you”“Your safety comes first. Remember all you need to do is get in and get out. Any information you find is enough. Don't die out there tryna prove something” Jason instructed.I have a really bad feeling about sending them out. Especially with Allison as one of them. She might actually kill them before Maverick gets the chance to. They are about to walk into an enemy camp. While I appreciate that they're doing this for me, having someone's death on my conscience isn't exactly giving peace of mind.“Whatever you do, m
