VINCENT My senses were fully alert as I hunted for the bastard who had attached such an annoying letter to the gate of my pack house. He seemed to be someone who knew a lot about my past; a past I've struggled to move on from. Whoever was the culprit,was trying to use my past against me. The thought of it made me furious. His scent continued to linger in the air, I could tell that he was still within my territory and was probably running away as fast as he could. I increased my pace and soon, I noticed a young man who was running towards the border of my territory. His scent matched the scent I'd been tracking all along. Like hell was I going to let him escape. Catching him off guard, I attacked him and pushed him to the ground. He tried to fight me off, but his strength was no match for mine. "Who are you? What do you know about me?" I demanded, wrapping my fingers around his throat. He cursed loudly as he struggled to get my fingers off his throat. I refused to budge. "Answer me!
RYLEE The look on his face made my heart ache. He looked both tortured and pissed. His eyes were filled with so much pain, it made me feel sorrowful. I didn't know what he'd gone through. It was at this point that I realized that I had pushed too hard. "I'm sorry" I said, lowering my gaze. I had to retreat before his anger flared up to the point where he would lose himself. "Yes, I killed an innocent woman. I regret it every single day of my life. But, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm a monster, I know that. You don't have to make me feel even worse about myself" he said and I squeezed my eyes shut. He sounded so broken, his voice reflecting raw emotions. It was the first time I was seeing him for who he was. The intensity of the amount of pain that radiated from him was overwhelming. I remained still until I could no longer feel his presence. As soon as he was out of sight, my knees went weak and I reached out to the wall to steady myself. I returned to my room, tensed. I c
VINCENT Several years ago, "Vince? Wake up!" I opened my eyes at the sound of my mother's voice."You need to get up. Take your sisters to the closet and hide" she said, her tone filled with urgency. I was feeling too tired and unwell to do what she'd just asked. So, I continued to lie there."Please, sweetie. I know you're hurting. But, you have to hide. Your father is coming home!" She had tears in her eyes, her brows creased into a frown. I didn't want her to cry, so I dragged myself to a sitting position.My head spun but I ignored it. My sisters were standing by the closet, rubbing their eyes, sleepily. Emma was half asleep and Ava could barely keep her eyes open. Rising to my feet, I limped towards the closet, taking hold of their hands. After I managed to get them into the closet, mum closed the door. In the cramped space, Ava and Emma fell asleep again. I couldn't go back to sleep because I was anxious. The last time our father had come home, he had hurt my mother so badly, s
RYLEE It started with a fever. Then, it progressed to severe cramps and a nasty headache. I was lying on the cold floor because I was way too hot for comfort. After Vincent had walked me to my room and left, I'd lain down on my bed and had fallen asleep. Once I was asleep, I had a dream in which I saw Sky. She was bigger and her fur which was usually a dull grey had become snow white. Her eyes were turquoise colored and she had a single golden stripe across her fur. By the time I awoke, I was a hot mess. I had a feeling that I was about to shift. I could feel Sky's spirit within me. It was so strong and it felt a lot different from before.'It's almost time for me to leave' I opened my eyes and found the other 'Rylee' staring at me with sad eyes.'Why?' I breathed and she let out a sigh.'You've been training so hard. I know you'll do fine without me. I only came to help you prepare for everything that is to come. Seeing as you're shedding off your old skin and embracing your tr
VINCENT She stared at me with wide eyes, confusion written all over her face. I knew I had blood stains on me. I expected more of a disgusted expression from her. I guess figuring out who Allora was, seemed to be more important at that moment."Have you met her before?" She asked and I looked away. "Everytime I was close to discovering who she really was, I would end up at a dead end. She is quite skillful, I'll give her that" I said and Rylee groaned. "Why the hell would she want to kill me? I don't even know anyone who goes by that name," Rylee said, she looked annoyed, her lips pressed together in a small pout. "Are you sure about that?" Jared asked and she glared at him. "What do you take me for? You think I would lie about that? You don't have to make it so obvious that you don't like me" she spat and Jared lowered his gaze. I wasn't surprised that she'd caught on with the fact that he didn't like her. He was making it too obvious. "I'm sorry," he muttered and she ignored h
RYLEE I was worried about what the outcome of the meeting would be. Everything about the arrangement was fishy. It made me feel uneasy. "You don't have to worry, Rylee. Even if it's a trap, I will handle it" he said. "I'll go with him. You don't have to worry, Rylee" Jared said and I leaned back on my seat. "Fine" I said.Jared picked up a couple of white envelopes from Vincent's desk and started to head towards the door. "What are those?" I asked Vincent and he shrugged. "Allora's threat letters" he responded and I winced. "Why are they so many?" "She sends quite a lot of them. She never gets tired." I sighed, rubbing my temples in frustration."I still don't recall meeting any woman with that name. I still don't know how she knows me.""It's okay, you don't have to worry about it. I'll figure it out," Vincent said and I frowned. "What if you had a one night stand with her? What if she's your ex-lover?" Vincent blinked, his face devoid of expressions. "I don't do night sta
VINCENT We sat in silence, the tension in the air almost overwhelming. It was the first time in ten years that the Belmore Town Werewolf Council was having a meeting with the Creek Town Werewolf Council. The topic that was about to be discussed was a sensitive one. It wasn't surprising to see that everyone was on edge. We were all waiting for one person who was yet to arrive. Killian Black. I had never seen him before, so I didn't know what he actually looked like. Thirty minutes slipped by and Alpha Baron who was sitting on my left, commented."Looks like he's running late" he said, but no one said anything. Just then, we heard the sound of footsteps. Everyone looked up and the tension doubled. Killian Black had just arrived with his Beta and Gamma. They all had a circular tattoo on the side of their necks which was half covered by the collar of their shirts. There was nothing abnormal about Killian. His aura radiated no darkness of any sort. He was just as tall and muscular as I wa
RYLEE I probably should have listened to Vincent when he asked me to stay put. But, I was curious. I kept a good distance from the gate and watched the unusual scene unfold before my eyes. I wondered if the visitor really had clear motives. I didn't know what to think. From the look on Vincent's face, I could tell that the visitor had hit a nerve. I knew he desperately wanted to find the man who was aware of his secret, but was it enough for him to let the stranger in? Moreso, I felt that the stranger was desperate to get Vincent's attention. The question was, why?Why would he go to such lengths to get Vincent's attention? Did he really know the whereabouts of the person Vincent was searching for?"What is this? Some sort of trick?" Vincent said, turning to look at the stranger. "I assure you that it is not a trick.""How do you know this person?" Vincent asked and the stranger lowered his head. "I overheard him talking to Alpha Killian. They are friends. He plans to meet Alpha Kil

RYLEE I'd always yearned for a family and a home. Returning to the Crystal River Pack is the choice that changed my life and gifted me with everything I wanted. I decided that it was time for a fresh start. "What the hell, Andy. I thought something terrible had happened to you. They suddenly moved us out of the pack house but they wouldn't give us an explanation. Besides, you stopped visiting us. Each time mum asked to see you, they didn't let her," My baby sister said, pouting at me.Mum chuckled."Don't be so dramatic, Jenny. Your sister must have had her reasons" mum said. I embraced her and closed my eyes. "I missed you so much, mum. You don't have to worry. It's all over" I said to her. She sighed and began to stroke my hair. "I missed you too, baby girl" she whispered. "You still have to tell us everything that happened, do you understand?" She said and I hummed in response, a smile tugging at my lips.After spending time with mum and Jenny, I went in search of Jar
ANDREA "Did you really it's going to be that easy? How ridiculous," the stranger said, taking another step towards us. Alpha Vincent silently moved Rylee behind him, his eyes glowing a bright red and gold. It was at this point that I put two and two together. I realized that the stranger was the demon who had tried to steal Rylee's soul energy. He had acquired a new body, it seemed."Hang in there for me, okay?" Jared whispered to me. I nodded feebly, resting my head against his back. It was taking me a lot of energy to keep myself from crashing to the ground. My head hurt too much and I could barely concentrate. "I'll kill you. This time, you won't be able to return," Vincent snarled, his fiery gaze menacing. The demon cackled and goosebumps appeared on my skin. Shivers ran down my spine and fear doubled my heart rate. "You can try. This time you're trapped. The sisters did quite a good job. They fooled you and trapped you.""What the hell do you want from us?!" Ava cried.
ANDREA None of us moved. I stood by the door, rooted to the spot. Jared had gone so still, he was barely breathing. I waited for him to give me a pathetic excuse. I waited for him to try to convince me that what I was seeing wasn't everything. Anger quickly overshadowed me when I realized that he had no intention of bringing up any excuse. It didn't make any sense. He had told me I was everything to him. Was it all a lie?"You have questions, don't you? Don't just stare at us. Go ahead, ask away" Kathryn said. My gaze met Jared's and I tightened my fists until they were pale knuckled. I could see the regret and remorse in his eyes. "Jared, get up" I said through gritted teeth. He didn't move or say anything. Kathryn let out a breathy chuckle, her fingers lightly grazing my mate's bicep. My stomach tightened as I fought the urge to lash out at her. She was taunting me. "Get your hand off him, Kathryn" I hissed. "What? Are you going to bite me?" She drawled, her eyes lit with excitem
ANDREA Groaning softly, I opened my eyes and blinked to clear the haze in my vision. My gaze met Cara's blue ones. She waved a hand in front of my face and clicked her fingers. "Can you see me?" She asked and I opened my mouth to speak. With my face contorted with pain, I brought a hand to my aching throat. It felt as though I'd swallowed grit."Water" I managed to croak with a wince. Someone else started to help me sit up. So, I looked up and saw Rylee's face. She gave me a small smile and helped me lean against the pillows while Cara poured me a glass of water."Thank you" I whispered, accepting the glass of water from her. I took a sip, swallowing as slowly as I could, wincing every few seconds."How are you feeling? Dizzy? Nauseous?" Cara questioned.I lowered the glass of water and blinked, realizing that I wasn't really feeling as terrible as before."I feel weak, that's all" I whispered.Rylee and Cara exchanged glances. Then, they turned to look at me with brilliant smiles
JARED Back and forth, I kept pacing. Jonathan and Cara were attending to Andrea while I waited restlessly. I couldn't shake off the feeling of foreboding that weighed down on me. My hands trembled as my anxiety swelled. Just before Andrea and I had made it to the infirmary, she'd suffered a seizure. It had scared the living daylights out of me. From the look on Jonathan's face when we'd arrived, I knew that Andrea's condition was worrying. Thoughts swam my mind until I thought I would go crazy. Opal was on edge as well. We couldn't stand the idea of Andrea being used and destroyed by the demon. The fact that I was completely powerless was worsening the situation. A feminine cry pierced the air and I turned towards the entrance of the hallway where a woman was being wheeled in on a stretcher. I recognized her to be Kathryn. "Hurry! She's bleeding out!" One of the women cried as they moved her past me. Kathryn had her eyes squeezed shut. With tears and sweat on her face, she c
ANDREA A smile curved my lips when I awakened to the beautiful sight of my mate's sleeping face. My smile widened at the memory of the previous night. Stifling a yawn, I rested my head on Jared's chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart. He stroked my hair and placed his arm around me. "Morning" I whispered. "Morning. How did you sleep?" Jared asked. "Nicely" I said, my cheeks warming. Jared chuckled and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. "As much as I want to stay in bed with you, all day, we have a meeting to attend" He stated, stroking my hair. I raised a brow."We?""That's right.""With Vincent?""We are meeting with Cara, Jonathan's fiancee. She said she wants to talk to us."We both got out of bed and went through our morning routine. I got dressed in a black hoodie and a pair of light blue jeans trousers. We left the house and started to head towards Jonathan's office. At the entrance of the building stood Jonathan and a blue eyed blonde with a pretty smile
ANDREA "Are they coming here, right now?" Jared asked with a calm expression on his face. "They have stepped into the territory. Some of the scouts must have encountered them by now" I told him. Taking my hand in his, he led me into the pack house and took me to Alpha Vincent's office. He knocked twice and pushed the door open. Alpha Vincent was standing by the window, his hands buried in the pockets of his black slacks. His white long sleeved shirt outlined the fact that he was fit. His hair curled up at his nape and disappeared underneath the collar of his shirt. Jared cleared his throat and walked towards him without letting go of my hand "I heard from the scouts that there have been a breach" Alpha Vincent stated, not looking away from the sky. "The shadow assassins are attacking the pack" I said. Slowly, he turned to look at me. He regarded me warily. Then, he spoke. "You mean, they're coming here to try to do what you couldn't do"....The gates burst open and a cou
ANDREA Pain pulsed within my skull and I held a hand to my temple, for a few seconds. Cracking an eye open, I found myself lying on Rylee. With unsteady hands, I pushed my upper body off her, a gasp escaping my lips when I saw the blood stains covering the left side of her face. "Rylee... your face" I breathed, petrified. She moved me off her and sat up. My eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when I saw the ruined material barely covering her torso and chest. Her forearms were stained with blood as well. Letting out a sigh, she rose to her feet and pulled her hair up into a bun. Then, she folded her arms across her chest. "Are you back to your senses now?" She asked and realization sank into me. Horrified, I stumbled backwards, away from her. "I... I... I did this?" I stammered, my eyes brimming with tears. "Not exactly. The demon was trying to kill me. I jammed my elbow into your face and knocked you out" My gaze drifted and fell on the bloodied knife lying on the ground
