VINCENT "Yes. I killed her." Those words stabbed me in the heart and made me ache. But, I refused to show it. Rylee stared at me with wide eyes. I could see the emotions in her eyes. Hurt, disbelief, confusion. They were all reflected in her eyes. I looked away from her and rose to my feet. I couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't want to be judged by both Ava and Rylee. The door was pushed open and Emma stormed in, her eyes filled with tears. "Is it true? Did you really kill mum? Was it you? Say something, damnit!" Emma demanded. "He killed her and lied to us" Ava said and Emma approached me. I didn't stop her from punching me in the face. Emma had always been the delicate twin. Mum's death broke her. She built up tough facades to hide how much she was hurting."How could you?!" She screamed at me as tears rolled down her cheeks in floods. "I can't take back what I did. I'm sorry" I said and stumbled out of my study. The news had hit me like a storm. The fact that my secret which I'd
RYLEE He took hold of my hand and refused to let go. I had no choice but to stay with him and watch him sleep. I stroked his hair with slow movements and let out a sigh. I knew he was strong and powerful, but at the moment he looked so vulnerable. I wanted to protect him to the best of my abilities. I placed a hand on his forehead to check for a fever, but there was none. Although he was sleep, he refused to let go of my hand. I wondered how he would feel about everything that had happened when he wakes up. Would he go back to being cold and indifferent? Or would our relationship progress? While I could only hope for the latter, I couldn't help but feel worried. He had broken down in front of me, I had a feeling that he was going to be embarrassed. I gazed at his resting face, taking note of the dark circles under his eyes. His brows were creased up and his breathing had quickened. I knew for a fact that his nightmares had begun. So, I laid down beside him. He buried his face in the
RYLEE Without uttering a word, he walked into the room. I'd never seen him look so cold and intimidating. This was on a whole different level. I knew I had to be careful with my speech. The last thing I wanted to do, was piss him off. He walked into the bathroom while I started to clean up all the blood stains he'd left on the floor. When he emerged from the bathroom, he had a white towel wrapped around his waist. I was itching to ask him who he'd just killed. But, I didn't have the courage to. He slipped on some clothes and left the bedroom. Once he was out of the room, I finally felt like I could breathe. He had seemed pissed. Had he found the initial person who knew his secret? For the remaining hours of the night, I sat on his bed, wide awake.In the morning, there was a knock on the door. It was Jared. He had a package with him. He handed it to me, a sheepish grimace on his face. "I was supposed to give this to you, a week ago. But, I forgot about it" he said and I raised a bro
VINCENT "It has to be Allora's doing. It can't be a mere coincidence," Rylee said as we walked towards the gates with Jared. "It's a grotesque sight. I suggest you brace yourself," Jared said to her and her eyes widened."It can't be so bad, right?" "You just have to see it for yourself," Jared responded. He was right. The bodies were mauled beyond recognition. It was a messy murder. The sigil from before, was carved into their foreheads. There were three bodies in all. Rylee brought a hand to her mouth, her eyes filling up with tears."Allora left you a short letter," Jared said, handing me a blood stained sheet of paper. It read:'Soon, it will be the turn of your pack members. You should move quickly if you want to stop US. We love big challenges, Vince'"We also have another problem, Vincent" Jared said, turning to look at me."These bodies were once members of Wyatt's pack. He will definitely not let this one slide. He will make sure to use it against you. Things are not looki
RYLEE Despite the fact that Vincent seemed to be in a lot of pain, he kept his face impassive. Watching the pack doctor clean up his injuries made me realize how bad it was. It made me upset. I turned to look at Jared who watched Vincent with his lips in a grim line."Who did this to him?" I asked and he looked away. "I can't tell you." "Why not? Look at him, he's a mess. These past few days has been hectic, even for him. Now, this?""Don't you think he would have prevented it if he wasn't okay with it?" the tall, dark haired man who was attending to Vincent's wounds, spoke."He's no weakling, you know" he continued, his gaze meeting mine."Jonathan," Vincent warned, his eyes closed. Jonathan mumbled an apology and continued to attend to Vincent's injuries. "Why? Why did you let them hurt you like this? Why do you keep pretending to be fine? I really don't like it. I'm hurt when you're hurt. Don't you understand?" I croaked. Vincent remained silent. From the look on his face, I k
RYLEE While we sat by the fire, eating grilled meat, Ava nudged me and gave me a smile. "You look a lot happier" she said and I patted my cheek with my free hand. "I do?""Of course! I'm so glad Vincent made you the pack's Luna. Can't you tell that the members are happy? We were worried that my brother would never find his mate." I shifted my gaze to Vincent, who was engrossed in a conversation with both Jared and Zeke. I raised my hand to wave at him as our gazes connected. I couldn't stop myself from beaming as he gave me an acknowledging nod. His eyes tightened into thin slits, and his attitude shifted abruptly. A panicked scream pierced the air and everyone rose to their feet."Sorry to crash this party. But, I had to. I must say, I love attending parties. The only reason I'm doing this is because I was not invited." I clenched my fists, my blood boiling in my veins, at the sound of Allora's voice. She was standing in the centre of the field, a little girl captured in her head
VINCENT Maryse had to be cooking up some mischief in her head. The seductive look in her eyes didn't faze me. But, Rylee was clearly disturbed by it. She was yet to let go of my hand and she had a slight frown on her face. If she could shoot lasers from her eyes, Maryse would have been roasted to ashes. I knew she could be possessive, but I was only seeing it clearer in this situation. I hadn't expected to see her at the Bluerose pack. "Are you the Alpha of this pack?" I asked and she glared at me. "What does it look like?" She demanded. 'She's not the Alpha' Rylee said to me through our mind link. 'Are you sure?''She's tapping her feet and she's avoiding eye contact. She's not the Alpha'"You're only going to stare at me? Is that what you're here for?" Maryse questioned, a frown creasing her brows. "Vincent Morgan ?"I turned to see a red haired man with two other men flanked on either side. He looked to be in his late forties."That's me" I responded and he smiled, holding out
VINCENT Anger welled within me at the thought that I had been fooled by Jeremy of all people. He had taken advantage of the fact that I had been desperate to find the person who had been threatening to spill my secret, and I had let him. "What are we going to do now? Jeremy must have known that you would figure it out. He has been playing mind games with us," Rylee said, her brows furrowed. "I still don't understand his connection with Killian," Jared spoke. "Come to think of it, he might have been lying about what pack Killian was planning to approach first," Rylee added and I rubbed my temples in frustration. My judgement had been twisted up due to my personal feelings and I'd messed everything up. I felt that it was my fault. If only I'd paid attention and refused to take Jeremy's bait, the situation wouldn't have ended up this way."I know you're blaming yourself right now. But, it's really not your fault, Vincent" Jared said. "I just need to fix this mess," I said and Rylee

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
