Tammy's POVHis words resound in my head, and I hold my hands against my ears to block it out. It can't be true. I didn't leave my job in the city, to come waste my time chasing an illusion. He's probably not telling the truth about this one. Yeah, that's it. "They are all under the influence of-" Adam starts, but Eric interrupts him."Adam!" Eric calls from a distance, cutting off Adam's statement. 'They are all under the influence of what?'Eric rushes over to us, sweat glistening on his skin. "Adam, Tammy! A few of the patients are awake!" he announces merrily. Adam stands up from his sitting position, his eyes wide with surprise. "Don't play with me, Eric."Eric holds up his hands. "I swear, they woke up this evening. It came as a surprise to everyone too.""But how?" Adam wonders aloud and glances at me briefly before they both go quiet. They seem to be engaged in a conversation, without uttering a word. I wonder how that's even possible. Eric shrugs before he speaks. "I do

Tammy's POV It's now the early hours of the morning, but I've been unable to rest, as my mind has been troubled by everything that's been going on since yesterday. My mind has been racing with questions and doubts, and I've finally come to a decision - I need to get out of here. Before anyone wakes up.I quickly pack my essentials into a duffel bag, trying to move as quietly as possible. I make my way down the staircase, my heart pounding in my chest. I reach the door, and to my relief, it's unlocked. I slip out into the cold morning air, shivering as the chill hits me.I take a deep breath and start to sprint through the woods, my bag bouncing against my side. I have no idea where I'm headed, but my sole aim is to put as much distance between myself and this place as possible. The place that's full of lies and deceit.As I run, the sound of twigs snapping under my feet echoes through the silent forest. Adrenaline courses through my veins, and I feel a rush of exhilaration. I haven't

Adam's POVThe cool evening breeze caresses my skin immediately I step out of the house, providing some calm to my racing nerves. My mind constantly replays the events of this evening to me. Of every reaction I expected from Tammy, her wanting to touch my wolf wasn't something I thought could happen. I was greatly pleased, even though she screamed at first. And everything that happened afterwards, her being aroused by me at such a time was also something I couldn't have imagined. If I didn't have some self control, I would have taken her there and then. Luckily, she changed the topic, saving me from adding more to the grudge I'm sure she already has against me.Tammy is upset with me now, and although I understand why, it still stings. She believes I lied to her about the patients condition again. But that wasn't the case. I was as shocked as she was, when Eric came and announced that they were awake. The fact that all these new developments are occuring after Tammy's introduction

Adam's POV At the same time, we all turn to the direction of the voice. He regards me for a brief moment. "Adam," Father says, a recognizable edge to his voice. Ophelia hugs him as he comes to stand by us. He hugs her back with a smile, his eyes crinkling in the corner. "Daddy!"I resist the urge to throw up. While Eric, on the other hand, rolls his eyes. I snicker quietly at his reaction. Ophelia breaks away from their father-daughter bonding moment, to address Eric. "I told you he'd be here soon."Eric scoffs, "Yeah, yeah," turning away from them, and Ophelia playfully sticks her tongue out at his back. Father looks between us, his expression unreadable, as always, before he settles his gaze on Eric. "Take your sister away from here. I'd like to have a word with Adam," he instructs. Eric begins to lead Ophelia out. She makes whiny noises in protest, but follows anyway.'Is there any issue?' He asks through the mind-link. I have no clue on what it's about, but there's a feelin

Tammy's POV The past few days have been filled with boredom and inactivity. It's as if my life took a different turn after I had company. Even though everything remains the same, it still feels different, like I'm missing something. I usually didn't feel this much alone, but after leaving, I've become hyper-aware of the fact that I don't have any company. Working now feels dull. Checking on patients and interacting with my coworkers feels tasking, even when I've been doing the work for long. Although, I was initially surprised when I got to work, expecting to be fired, but I still met a job. Turns out, Mrs Roseline had made an excuse for me. I'm grateful to her for that, only that I wonder why she didn't just let me go, being the one directly in charge of me. When I got home the other day, I packed some of my things, and moved to Grandma Shannon's, knowing that Adam knows my house and might come looking for me. I don't want him to find me, but there's a part of me that thumps in

Tammy's POVI brush my hand over the cover, unable to believe my eyes. If this is indeed the mansion where Adam's family stays, it means grandpa or whoever owns this book, must have known something about Adam's community. 'Maybe I do need the book, after all.'Curiosity nags at me, and I open the book again. Running my hand through the inscriptions on the first page, it feels as though I can understand it if I try. I peer at it, hoping that I will be able to make sense of what is written. Rather, the writings get blurry the closer I get and my head begins to feel heavy. I slam the book shut and leave it beside me, giving up on my attempt. I take my plate and the book, drop off the untouched pie in the fridge, and go back to my room. As I lay in bed, sleep eludes me, my mind being troubled by the thoughts of having to make a decision; whether to go back to Adam's so I can uncover the connection of this book to Adam's family, or stay here and continuing with my life, as before - eve

Adam's POVIt has been days since Tammy left, and I'm not any closer to finding her. I and Eric had gone to her house, but she was not there. The place felt like she hadn't even been there at all. I couldn't get the tiniest whiff of her scent, which meant she probably never visited the place at all. I shouldn't be surprised. She knew I would come searching for her there, which was why she didn't go back. 'So where is she now?'After discovering she had gone back, Eric, Ophelia and I, alongside some other pack members, went searching for her. Father even offered some suggestions on where we could search, which was very unusual. Her disappearance has been the only thing on my mind. It got to the extent that Eric and I had to put off researching her real identity.However, all the effort was to no avail, as it seemed like she had disappeared long before we could have even suspected a thing. We were unable to catch her scent. She masked it perfectly. Nurse Roseline had not been of he

Tammy's POV I turn to face Adam, the fluorescent hospital lights reflecting off the polished floor. I'd felt his presence while talking to my patient, a shiver running down my spine as I sensed his gaze on me. I was sure he didn't know that I'd noticed him, but I had.I ended my checkup and came outside, pretending to be busy with the patient's chart while stalling for him to speak. The sound of beeping machines and muted conversations fills the air, but my attention is focused on Adam. "Hi, Adam," I greet, a smirk playing on my lips. "I expected you a lot sooner."Surprise flickers in his eyes at my admission, but he quickly comports himself, masking it with a grin. "Really?" I nod, my eyes fixed on his. His expression turns thoughtful before he replies. "You say that now, although, I would have thought that you wanted to stay hidden."The smirk on my face slips, a frown replacing it. I wasn't hiding. Well, I was, but I needed space to clear my head and come to a decision. With

Tammy's POV It's been a week since the full moon - and Adam and I were together. I haven't seen much of him since then. There have been some changes in the pack. Most of the people who fell into the curse-induced sleep have woken up. Only about five people have not woken up - of which Jackson is one. Thinking about it sends a sliver of dread down my spine. Because if he never wakes up, it'll be my fault. Aside from the people waking up, my dreams have become more frequent. And stranger. Other unusual things have been happening too.The day before yesterday, I was shaving my legs and accidentally scraped my skin. I felt the sting and saw the blood. But when I looked again, there was no injury. Not even a scratch. I would have convinced myself into believing I'd imagined it, if not for the other oddities that have been piling up lately. I also had a dream - or maybe a vision - about the handbook. It opened to a page, and I could clearly read what was written. I can't be sure I was

Alexander's POV A muffled groan escapes me as I pull at the chains binding my wrists, the cold metal biting into my skin. It's futile. No one has heard me in twenty years - I doubt today will be any different. Footsteps echo through the cave. Then, a familiar sound. "Tch tch tch." My captor clicks his tongue as he steps into the dim light. "What have I told you about making noise, Alex?" I don't respond. How can I, when I've lost my voice? He chuckles, low and cruel. "Oh, that's right. You can't speak."He moves closer, stretching out his hand. The moment his fingers hover near my skin, the searing pain begins. I should be used to it by now, but the agony never dulls. My mouth opens in a silent scream. "You know, I should have grown bored of this by now," he muses, watching me writhe. "But it still pleases me. Why is that, Alexan?" I glare at him, hatred burning in my eyes. It only amuses him. "How pitiful. The mighty Alpha of skyline pack... reduced to this. And yo

Third person's POV "Arabella!" Freya's voice cut through the stillness of the woods.'Where has she gone now?' her mother thought, pushing into the forest, searching for her daughter. Her eyes darted between the towering trees, searching for her daughter. The girl always wandered off, and Freya always had to go looking for her. A sharp squeal rang out behind her, followed by the sound of laughter. Freya spun around, heart lurching. "Arabella, come back! It’s just a bug; it won’t hurt you!""No, go away! You're gross!" The voice was closer now, high-pitched and teasing.A second later, Arabella came barreling through the trees, her black curls bouncing with each step. She crashed into Freya’s legs, giggling, until she glanced up and saw the stern set of her mother’s jaw. Freya folded her arms. "What have I said about you running off into the woods?"Arabella’s laughter died. She clasped her hands in front of her, eyes cast downward. "Not to go too far."A rustling came from the

Unknown person's POV I have been observing the girl Adam brought here - Tammy - for a while now, and none of them even suspect a thing. She isn't just a normal girl, no matter how much she tries to deny it. That night in the meeting, when she first arrived, I sensed something off about her. Something different. Her scent burned hot in my nose, too intense, too unnatural. At first, I thought it was just my heightened senses playing tricks on me. But when I saw her up close again, I knew it wasn’t. Even the people who woke up from the curse-induced sleep testified that they had seen her doing something to them. I can't believe that even when Adam was there to witness it firsthand, he still didn't try to investigate her properly. And when he eventually did, he convinced himself she was a Wanderer. He proves to be a fool at times. I'm incredibly glad that I've gotten somewhat close to them and I was able to get access to the book on Wanderers. And I'm also relieved that he wa

Tammy's POV I sit up, intrigued by what he has to say. "It happened when I was seven," Adam begins, his voice quieter now. "Around the time the curse started and my mom died. I can't seem to remember the details, but I remember thinking about the ashes on every tree. I decided I liked the color grey that day. I couldn't like the color of the ashes because of the sad memories attached to it... so I picked the color closest to it.""Shouldn't that have been white?" I tease, a soft laugh escaping me. He chuckles. "Grey's probably felt more like me. A dull, heavy nothingness."His words settle between us, and I frown. Something about his story doesn’t sit right with me. "All those things happened at once?" I ask, my brows furrowing. "That's three questions, Tammy," he points out, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. "And to answer your illegal question - I don't know. My memories from that time are a blur. I only remember what came after.""That seems odd, don't you think?"He ex

Tammy's POV "What do you mean you can't find the key, Ophelia?" Adam's voice booms, vibrating through the thick, wooden door. He's asked her that, for might be the hundredth time, this morning. I'd woken to the sound of Adam's escalating shouts. Ophelia had so conveniently misplaced the key - my room key! And of course, there's no spare one around, because the keys were in a bundle.I fight to hold in a laugh as Adam's face flushes red, his frustration radiating off him. He's definitely tired of being trapped with me for so long. I don't blame him. After hours of forced proximity and a pretense of casual conversations, due to Ophelia's ingenious plan. We tried our best to make things less tense between us, but that has worn thin. And now, it's either Adam leaves, or we see how long we can ignore the obvious tension lingering between us. "Ophelia!" Adam roars, his fist slamming against the door again. "Find that key right now, or I swear you won't like what happens when I get out

Tammy's POV We've watched two more movies - romance and action - and I'm already starting to feel sleepy. Like she read my mind, Ophelia stands up with a yawn. "I think I'm gonna sleep now." She comes over and gives me a brief hug. "Good night, Tammy. It was so nice that you could join us." I wonder if I even had a choice.Eric, who had fallen asleep in the middle of the second movie, stirs awake. "Has the movie ended already?" He asks, and we both laugh. "Yeah," Ophelia answers. "I was just about to head back to my room.""I'll come with you," Eric says, rubbing his eyes as he stands. "Good night Tammy. Adam," he nods at his brother before they both leave the room. This movie night was more relaxing than I expected - well, if I ignore the uncomfortable moments with Adam. At some point during the movie, I’d unintentionally leaned into him, and the brief eye contact we shared felt like it lasted too long. He didn't seem to mind. But I, on the other hand, was freaking out inside.

Tammy's POV The chill of the night air seems to seep into my bones, a contrast to the heat that was pulsing through me moments before. "Forget we've ever been together," my words to Adam echo in my mind, leaving a bitter aftertaste. I watch Adam's retreating back, the broad line of his shoulders disappearing into the darkness, and a hollow ache settles in my chest. His kiss still lingers on my lips. I didn't intend to make him leave like that. Well, I did, but not in that way. I had expected things to go... smoother, to say the least.I almost regret telling him to pretend. Almost.'Liar.'The word claws its way up my throat, but I swallow it down. I know I'm not fooling anyone, especially not myself. The kiss, the way my body had responded on its own accord, even the way I’d melted into him, was a betrayal of my carefully constructed walls, of my determination to leave, and of my fear. I knew that after having a night together, he would begin to think that he had finally gotten

Adam's POV "Forget that we had sex." Her skin becomes darker, and it's noticeable even in the dim light. She clears her throat. "And uhm... also forget what happened after."I don't have to ask her what she means, understanding that she is referring to her loss of consciousness. I don't think it's something she should be ashamed of, though. But I don't tell her this, knowing that she wouldn't care to hear it. After all, she just demanded I forget everything, like it didn't mean anything to her. "Why?" I ask her. If I'm to do as she says - although it is impossible - I would have to get a good reason. It isn't just her experience; it is mine too. And it's like she's taking away my right to feel happy about being with my mate. She turns, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Why do you need an explanation?"I stand, like the seat suddenly became too hot for me. "Don't you think I deserve one? After all, you are my-" I stop myself, the word "mate" catching in my throat. I know that she
