Damien was going over his plans when his aide arrived. The new council member had just been sworn in and the member was in his pocket. Not that anyone knew. He had decided to begin the attacks against per his plans and the council had reacted beautifully so far.

They were split evenly.

Some of them wanted the detained suspects released as they'd been proven innocent while the other sect felt that it could be a copycat masterminded by the heir that Reece and Breeana had failed to apprehend so far.

Most important of all, none of them spoke about what they would do to address the problem. His time was coming now and while he should have been overjoyed, he was anything but.

Sarah's rejection had left him astounded. Maybe he should not have been surprised that the wildcat he took in turned on him yet he was surprised by the drasticness of it.

He had taken an interest in her for her backbone after all then he had taken his time in breaking her down until she had become pliable. He had w

    "Bree." Reece's voice held as much shock as Breeana's face did as he fell, a bleeding wound in his middle. Ivy was on her knees and had managed to get to the gun Reece had kicked out of her grasp."Reece!" Breeana screamed, dropping to her knees, obstructing Ivy's line of fire with Reece's body unintentionally.Ivy pulled herself up so she could aim properly. She has missed before. She wouldn't miss again. Breeana would not leave this place alive. She ignored the trickle of pain in her midsection from where she had hit when Reece had flung her down hard. She straightened partway wondering where her men who had been guarding this abandoned had gone. Perhaps Reece had dispatched them. She had no idea how he had gotten here so quickly though.Breeana was still trying to shake Reece awake, blood smearing on her hands as she sobbed.Ivy took aim, her arm feeling heavy and strained from the fall. Breeana looked up from Reece to her, finally seeing her death. It was too late. Even though

    Breeana helped out at the hospital. She should go to the house and relax but even if she had just seen Reece alive and well she was worried. She wouldn't be able to relax until she checked in on him again so she would help out here until she was sure he was asleep again. Then she would go and see him again. She had eaten some fruits at Ari's insistence and she had also gotten some juice as well as a quick shower and a change of clothes. It was crazy that she could be so angry at him yet care so much about him. She didn't want to think too much about it so she moved. It wasn't like there was much work to be done anyway. The rescue operation had mainly been Reece. He had come to Spain after Ari informed him. "I had to tell him. He is your mate no matter what happened. I'm not saying what he did was right or even justified. But you were missing. I had to do something. Plus he could track you with the bond."While she had been initially mad at her sister, she understood why she had d

    "So you are still not going to talk with Reece?"Ari stood by the archway of her room watching her dress her bed."No, I'm not. We've said all that needs to be said. All that is left is for him to finally leave me the hell alone."The kiss they had shared two days ago must have given Reece hope because he had followed her around these past two days. He didn't speak, he just helped her with whatever she was doing.She hated him for it, hated how every single thing he did weakened her already fragile resolve to stay away from him. Ari stepped into the room. "You might just get what you want then."Breeana scoffed. If only. "Yeah, I don't think so. I think he intends to stay here for a while.""Maybe he did," Ari conceded. "But not anymore. He got a call. The pack was attacked two nights ago. He'll be on the first flight out."Reece was leaving? Breeana stopped what she was doing to look at Ari in shock. "The pack was attacked? Why the hell didn't you start with that?"She began to wal

    Breeana poured herself a glass of water acting as though she hadn't just separated two people who were so in love with each other. Reece crossed the distance between them and took the glass out of her hand."Serious Bree, couldn't you have done that in a more sensitive way? Allen was so distraught."Breeana paused to look at him. "I did what needed to be done. It was better to get it done with quickly. Rip it off like a bandaid so to speak.""Better for whom? You or him?"Breeana rolled her eyes. "You are being way too sensitive about this. But then again what else do I expect from someone who prefers lies over the truth?""Bree." Reece growled.She was so aggravating. Could she not see how insensitive she was being? The only reason he didn't counter her decision with Sarah openly was that he didn't want to undermine her authority and the fact that Sarah had looked guilty as hell."Don't pull that with me." Breeana looked angry and her blue eyes crackled like there was a little thunde

    The full moon shone down on the abandoned warehouse, casting eerie shadows across the empty streets.Inside, a group of werewolf hunters sat around a large wooden table, their faces twisted in anger and determination. "I have received word from one of the twisted creatures. Apparently, they are having dissent amongst themselves." The others expressed similar looks of disgust. The animals could barely control themselves, it was a wonder they hadn't hunted themselves into extinction yet. It irked him to no end that they had to rely on intel from one of them but that would soon be dispensed with and even this informant would die for being an abomination."The hunter organization has become a mere facade of what it once was. Our leaders have betrayed our creed but we will right that wrong if it is the last thing we do."The leader of the hunters, a grizzled man with a scar running down his chin, slammed his fist on the table. "We've had enough of these creatures terrorizing our city. I

    Breeana looked at Reece suddenly unable to speak as he walked towards her with the bottle hanging limply from his hand.He reached her.She didn't know what to expect. No, that was wrong. She did know what to expect. It was Reece after all. He would yell at her and question her about why she hid it from him and then he'd–Reece fell on his knees and pressed his ear against her belly, his arms encircling her waist delicately.Breeana froze as he listened for the heartbeat of their child and he reacted in the most peculiar way that she could never have anticipated.He began to cry.Not loudly but softly. Breeana was confused but tried to comfort him in her own way by cradling his head against her belly.And for some minutes they stayed that way. They just stood and it was okay. Strange but okay."I'm sorry, Bree. Sorry that I made you feel the need to hide this from me."Oh, Reece. How could he be so uptight and downright annoying sometimes only to soften up and be nice later? She felt

    "We should just execute her and be done with it." Breeana said offhandedly and Reece stifled a laugh."Sure. Any more unreasonable requests you would like to add?"Breeana mock glared at him but a smile peeked through. She was surprised that they could even joke about this. The moment she had seen Ivy she had frozen thinking about the last time they had seen each other.Ivy didn't try to attack them or even struggle. She just turned herself in and allowed herself to be detained. Breeana and Reece had been shocked to hear that she had lost her pregnancy and that she was willing to sell her father and his moles in their pack out in exchange for her freedom."Why did you even bother coming back? You could have just stayed in Europe. There is no way we would have tracked you down." Breeana asked her still suspicious about her return and willingness.Ivy locked gazes with her. "I don't fancy being a fugitive for a murder I didn't even commit and I refuse to be used as a chess piece in my f

    Six Years Later"Can I take you to lunch?"Sarah threw a mean left hook that had Jared struggling to keep his balance. He always favoured his right a little bit too much."No.""Sarah…"She didn't let him continue before releasing a barrage of blows that got his head back into the fight and away from emotional talks.An hour later, she was walking out of the training centre with a bag slung over her shoulder after her shower."Sarah, please wait up."She didn't. She kept walking because she really didn't want to have this conversation. He easily caught up to her though with his long legs."So off to pick up Cole?"Sarah stopped walking."What do you want? Please speak directly."Jared looked at her with hurt brown eyes that eerily reminded her of Allen."I'm trying to have a conversation with you, Sarah.""And I'm trying not to. We train together. That's all.""It doesn't have to be. We can be friends–""I apologise for my mistake. I shall find another trainer." Sarah nodded brusquely

    Breeana opened her eyes and nearly screamed.Reece. She had to get to Reece. But what could she do on her own?No, if there was one thing that Anya had thought of her it was that she needed backup. She knew that Reece and the others had a contingency plan where their forces could charge in and rescue them but that plan had relied on the use of their pack links.She didn't even know where the forces were situated. Reece hadn't told her and she hadn't thought to ask."What do I do? What should I do?"She paced the length of her room and then inspiration struck. Of course. How could she have forgotten?Sarah. She would know.*****"We need to get to them now."Sarah had known. She had known that something like this would happen. She had suspected it and now Allen was trapped in a room with Damien she would have felt fear if there was time.Every minute she dawdled was time that Allen couldn't afford especially with the vendetta that Damien had against him."I know where they are camped a

    Breeana puked again and her belly contracted in response. She was in the bathroom for another hour or so before she felt strong enough to make her way out.She had woken up with morning sickness and by God, it wasn't what it was hyped up to be.She hadn't even been able to wish Reece goodbye properly and she knew that if the coronation hadn't been that day he would have stayed with her until she felt better.She was barely seated on her bed before she felt a tug on the bond. It wasn't unusual these days for her to feel that way but what made her pause was the fact that Reece was in a closed-door meeting with a cold-blooded murderer. Relaxing herself, she let herself drift until she connected with him and then she was…******"Today we are here for something momentous. Because for the first one in centuries, we will be welcoming in a monarch. Someone who will lead us through these dark abysmal times."Reece sat in his seat exchanging side glances with some of his allies. Adelaide looke

    "You are asking me to stay behind?" Breeana glared at Reece, she couldn't believe that mere days ago she had cried and wished desperately that he would wake up.Now she felt the almost stifling urge to suffocate him. Ugh. He was so annoying and so obstinate that it was a marvel that they were still together.Truly."I just want you to stay safe while all this is going on." He leaned in and dropped a kiss on her forehead before touching her belly. "You and our child."Breeans pulled away before she would melt against his concern and sweet words the way she had been melting for the past few days since he woke up.Suffice to say that their fight had been long forgotten almost immediately after he woke up and she kissed him like the weirdo she was.No, Breeana do not think of kisses. She chided herself. Or of all the other things he had done to her and she had done to him."So I'm supposed to just sit in my hands while all the men I care about go off to fight a maniac? Come on, Reece. I'

    "You shacked up with a council member?"Breeana looked at Sarah shocked beyond belief.Sarah blushed. "I didn't know that at first."Breeana kept staring at her."And he's Cole's dad?""Yes."When Breeana had come to threaten Sarah to talk to her the last thing she had thought of was this.Sarah had taken one look at her thunderous expression and scented the blood on her before letting her in and telling her what had to be the surprising thing that Breeana had heard since the beginning of this fiasco."Bloody hell, does Allen know about this?" Was she the only one to be blindsided by all this?"I… I haven't gotten around to telling him I guess I just wanted it to go away." Sarah brushed her hair out of her face. "He's the only father that Cole will ever have. The only father I want my child to have. I thought if I ignored it, it would stay that way."Breeana looked at her like she had hit her head on the wall one too many times. Wanted what to go away? For all they knew this was proba

    The ambush was quiet, this was their land after all. They knew every nook and cranny of it and more than that they were preternaturally quick and quiet. The hunters on the other hand were loud and clumsy in comparison. They must have thought they would take their pack the way they had taken the others.They were wrong.As the hunters sat around their campfire, discussing their strategy for the upcoming attack, they surrounded them."We enter from the north and–"Allen gave the signal and they attacked.The hunters quickly reached for their weapons, but they were too slow and the werewolves were too fast. They pounced on the hunters, their razor-sharp claws tearing through flesh and bone.The hunters fought back with guns and knives, but they were no match for the werewolves' supernatural strength and agility.The air was filled with the sound of snarling and screaming as the werewolves tore apart their prey. The hunters tried to retreat, but the werewolves were relentless, chasing the

    Poison.The word resounded over and over in her head long after Reece had been wheeled into the ER.Someone had poisoned him.She felt a touch on her shoulder. It was Sarah."It's going to be fine, Bree." She comforted her, her voice low and compassionate.Only that was a farce, wasn't it?A terrible suspicion bloomed in her mind as she turned on Sarah. She had been there last night and suddenly Reece got poisoned. She didn't think it was a coincidence.Breeana gripped her by her throat watching her choke."It was you wasn't it?" Breeana squeezed harder, her vision going red. They had granted her mercy and she had gone and done this.Reece was… her mate was…. Just when she had wanted to give their relationship another shot. It was almost too cruel."I swear…" Sarah coughed trying to breathe through the strangling sensation around her throat where Breeana held her immobile."Don't fucking lie to me. You are still in contact with your people, right? You didn't tell Allen everything, did
