Tessa's POVIf one asked me right now if I still love my mates, my answer would be a clear yes but I hated them too. I hate them.I do not even know how to feel about them. I really do not know if I should hate or love them.These are the feelings of confusion and hurt in my heart. I am hurting from their betrayal and lack of confidence in me.If I had been asked, I would have sworn that they would and will stand with me in anything and everything.I thought that they would stand with me and then ask questions later.But how wrong I have been. It was like i was standing on a hill somewhere confident that they would hold me and then they watched as I tumbled downwards with no care at all.When Inko told us that one of my babies would be evil, I thought that Alex and Mason would be behind me supporting me in saving my, our, babies.I would never have guessed that they woukd be the ones to suggest that we kill them.Kill our babies! What audacity!At first, I thought that they were confu
59. Alex's POVWe were ready and I felt much much better after that night with Mason.I can't help but feel my heart falling in love all over again because like he always does whenever Tessa isn't with us and it has happened regularly, he kept me grounded and made sure that I found myself again.I would have wanted to spend a week holed up with just him except for the fact that we needed Tessa here with us.She was also a part of me and my heart was breaking every minute we spent without knowing what she was up to.Dad, Mason's old man, called and told us that sfater a thorough investigation, she isn't with the vampires.That meant that she was with the witches.This is because no wolf would dare take her having in mind that they knew my pack was strong. Stronger than most especially after Mason becoming our mate, they knew that we had the support of vampires not mentioning that Tessa's uncle also had his own pack.The only group remaining that had a reason of taking Tessa were the wi
60. Tamia's POVMason's mom visited again today as she usually does and told me of all the chaos that are going on out there.Apparently, my mates are really combing everywhere looking for me and you they hadn't found me.They had even gone to the Madeleine coven and haven't found me, obviously, and had killed several wolves.That damned woman was able to escape again.I really want to pity my mates for what they are going through but the thought goes away after I remember their plan.If they ever find me, they are going to insist on their way and I can't have that.I would die first before I watch anyone getting rid of my pregancy.And to avoid an altercation between me and them, it's best I stay hidden.This way, I wouldn't destroy our already fragile relationship.Fragile?Yes.Why?Because sometimes I think and feel like I hate them.I feel like they don't love me as much as they used to.I feel like they are being forced to be with me because if they loved me enough, they would d
61. Alex's POVWe have looked for Tessa for a whole month and we haven't been able to locate her.It is taking a toll on us and we can almost not feel her bond anymore.Of late, there have been a lot of wolf killings around our area and everyday we qohkd receive a report that bodies of dead wolves have been cited, we would be very afraid that we would find her body.It is so strange that there haven't been even a whiff of her anywhere.It is almost like she just evaporated off of the face of the earth.We have looked anywhere that is to be looked including in the houses of her coworkers at her company but none of them have seen her.Currently, Mason and I are sitting in our room not knowing what to do next.We are just from following a lead we had gotten just this morning and it was also another blank."What should we do next babes?I am out of thoughts and ideas," Mason asks me tiredly as he lies on my lap.I am absent mindendly massaging his scalp.I am also thinking of any ground w
62. Mason's POVIt had been a long grueling one month and more.We have all had it bad but I think Alex was taking this thing harder than all of us.He kept blaming himself for everything and I didn't know what to do.I love him. Heaven knows I do and it hurt me to see him behave like that.That was why even when he got angry out of the blue or even threw a tantrum, I always indulged him.I would do anything for him because he would also do things for me.He indulges my every whim and I am still sane since we lost Tessa because he has been here with me holding my hand all along and whispering encouragements and hope in my ears.But today I was tired. I felt tirwd both physically from all the exertion and mentally due to all the thinking and emotionally because the pain from Tessa's bond and link were numbing.Alex flared up out of the blue and I didn't want to fight with him.I didn't have the energy nor the will to.I couldn't do it.Thus, when he hit me, I decided to make him feel g
63. Tessa's POVIt's almost three months since I ran away from home and I have to admit that I miss them.I miss my mates so much that is hurts.So much that I want to call them. So bad sometimes but it is the thought of me losing my children that keeps me going.I have come this far and I can't break when it is almost done.My mother in law comes to see me daily and she came today and left.That feeling of someone watching me is still there but I am not worried because if at all someone was watching me, they would have done something in all the months I have been here all alone mostly.I guess it's just my nerves because I live in fear of being found out one day.What of Alex and Mason followed mom one day and found out that she has been hiding me?That's the question tagf always plagues me and I guess that's why I usually think that I am being watched.I asked my mom to sweep the area once though I didn't tell her why and it was clean.No signs of life except me.She even told me t
64. Tessa's POVOh, goodness help me.I was in pain.Pain like I had never experienced.Even when I had been kidnapped by the witches, I though what they were doing to me was painful but no. I could never compare. This was on another level.I am not what you can actually call a religious woman per se because I rarely pray or even visit the shrine.I believe that the prayers the oracle offers for the pack in general are enough to encompass even me.Thus, you would rarely find me offering gifts or even prayers in the shrine for the moon goddess and other gods that we believe watch over us. This is unless it is a pack thing but never me alone.But right now, I said a prayer.As I looked at these two evil creatures before me, I asked the moon goddess to forgive me for being an idiot and running away from home and after forgiving me, I asked them to protect my babies.These two evil witches were here for me. I knew that for a fact because I had got out of Mara's hands on several occasion
65. Alex's POVI am tired and my brain feels like it is in its limit when it comes to thinking of where Tessa could be.I am holding on to the little bit of hope I have and to Mason.Mason has been an angel and I really don't know how to thank him.I have been an arse most of the times since Tessa disappeared and I swear I will make it up to him once this is all over. Just me and him.As we are sitting there without talking just enjoying each other's company, my phone rings."Alpha, we have found her," I sit upright and Mason is quick to notice that it is not a normal call.I hold the phone in front of me and the man on the other side continues."Give me that," Mason's dad says on the other side and he takes the phone."Son, the wizard we went to called.He has finally traced Tessa.I am sending you the GPS location.You two hurry. Don't use a vehicle. Just come," he says and we look at each other.We spring into action without thinking.I take the small backpack I usually keep packed
