“We are almost ready,” Gabriel said, nudging Emily toward the tables full of food. “Please, get something to eat. This does not have to be a formal setting. I know that you both have to be exhausted with everything that you have done over the last few days.” With that he turned and handed Emily, Angela, and Agatha a plate. “Thank you,” Emily said with a smile as she took the plate and indicated for Agatha and Angela to go first. You know he sure is a lot nicer than I would have ever thought a king much less and Alpha King would be, Emily said to Rica. He doesn’t seem to use his authority or anything special. He seems really laid back almost. I think that is because of us. Conri said that Gabriel and he never really cared about titles, money, or power. They do what they have to do, but that was it. I think the niceness is since they found us. We have tamed the savage beasts, Rica snickered. Emily rolled her eyes at the last piece, but began to fill her plate. Make sure to add plent

“That is what we were actually doing most of the night,” Agatha admitted. “It didn’t take us long to go through the hunter’s mind. Without his stolen powers, and without his ability to take powers he was very easy to read. We were able to see the witches that he took power from and we recognized most of them and most of them are eager to get their powers back and are willing to help or happy to leave and not take sides.”“That’s a good thing, right,” Gabriel asked. “If you know who the hunter stole power from you can contact them and let them come here so that Emily can return it. I do not want her leaving here to go to the hunters.” “In most cases it is,” Angela agreed slowly. “But there is one potential problem that we have encountered.”“What type of problem,” Gabriel asked with his eyes narrowing slightly. Why couldn’t just one thing work out easy for his mate?“One of the witches that the hunter stole power from is Jenna,” Agatha said with a grim set to her mouth. “Shit,” Gabri

“We know,” Angela said, “and that is where we are hitting a slight snag. The council could possibly help us in this matter, but we do not want them here or knowing about your abilities. Jenna wants to see Gabriel to try to plead her case, but we are worried that she may have made a deal of her own or have her own agenda.” “What do you mean,” Gabriel asked with a growl. “Does she know about Emily?” “I do not think that she knows about Emily per se,” Agatha said tiredly. “Outside of the valley and the hunters, I do not know that many know about her at all. With everything going on a formal announcement of you finding your mate was never sent out, we have never advertised if someone was a lycan because of hunters, and she has not used any magic so she has not been linked to anything in the Witch’s Council. Jenna does know that someone one strong was able to absorb the powers form the hunter and that they are willing to return the powers to the original owners. That alone is enough to

Lord Rotterford looked at the two sorry excuses for hunters that were currently trembling in front of him. “I will only ask this one more time,” he said through clenched teeth and barely continuing his temper. “How did you let Daniel go through one of the openings?” “S-Sir, I do not know how he got to one of the openings.” One of the sniveling weaklings in front of him stammered. “W-We were opening them as fast as we could, closing them, and then changing the locations to avoid detection when all of a sudden I turned and he was not there. The hunter that stabbed your fiancee was standing there looking at us confused and demanding to know what was going on,” he finished quickly and looked back down at the floor. “This is bullshit,” Lord Rotterford yelled as he slammed his fist down on the desk he was currently sitting behind. “I know someone saw or knows something! Speak!” Lord Rotterford seethed as he sat there and no one else dared to say anything. After several more tense moments

About twenty minutes later Emily had finally finished breakfast. Rica had talked her into going back for another plate that was mostly bacon. Dang lycan was going to make her have a heart attack from all of the delicious grease. Nonsense. Our metabolism and everything is way too strong for that from bacon, Rica scoffed. If you say so, Emily replied. Since she was done with breakfast, Emily had decided to head to the training grounds. “Are you heading to the training grounds now,” Emily asked Gabriel as he finished up the last bit from his plate. “Yes. We can head there as soon as you change,” he said standing and drinking the last bit of his water in a single gulp. “Changed,” Emily asked, confused. “I thought I was going to be able to let Rica out to stretch and train.” “Rica will be able to come out, but I would also like for you to learn a little just in case you are ever surprised or attacked in this form too,” Gabriel said as he held out his hand for Emily to take.

About an hour later Emily and Gabriel finally made their way to the training grounds. Emily figured that Gabriel must have told everyone to not say anything about how late they were coming to the training grounds. ‘Hey Gabe,” Axel said, jogging up to them. Emily barely contained a groan. She already could hear Axel’s blunt question or crude remark coming. “Glad you finished up your phone call in time to make training. I won’t lie. I thought that Emily might have been trying to find a way to avoid training since she knows that she will lose to me,” he said with a quick wink in Emily’s direction. “No,” Gabriel said with a chuckle. “Emily was not hiding out. It is my fault that we are late. I asked her to wait on me,” he said with a quick glance at Emily that told her to play along. “The last time I let her out of my sight we were attacked and I almost lost her. You can’t blame me for not wanting her too far from me now,” he said with a smile and shrug to Axel. “I understand,” A

“Hello? Can you hear me? Dang it! I did what you asked. You better answer me,” Jenna growled. If anyone was just looking in you would think that she was going crazy talking to the ceiling in her room. Jenna quickly glanced outside the door to make sure none of the hunters were coming for her yet. Once she saw that the coast was still clear she tried again. “I know you are there. Answer me,” she hissed. “Yes, I am here,” a voice finally answered. “What took you so long,” Jenna growled. “They could be here any minute.” “I know. That is what took me a few extra minutes,” the voice answered. “You are getting sloppy. I had to put up some basic sound wards to protect our plan,” the voice chastised. “It’s a wonder I can do anything with so much of my power being gone,” Jenna grumbled. “I did what you asked. I have requested a meeting with Rotterford to offer information in exchange for my life.” Good,” the voice answered. “Do you remember what we discussed?” “Yes. I am suppo

Emily stretched once her transformation into Rica was complete. It was amazing how powerful she felt in this form. Rica really was incredible. I know, Rica said enjoying stretching as well. Emily rolled her eyes at Rica’s response. Are you ready?I was born ready, Rica said grinning. Let’s go then, Emily said as they exited the tent that Gabriel had put up so she could change privately. It had taken a little negotiation, but Emily had been able to talk Gabriel into waiting outside while she changed. She pulled open the flap and stepped out by her mate. Gabriel turned and looked at his beautiful mate with pride. Emily was amazing in either form, but Rica was really spectacular. Are you ready, Gabriel asked with a grin. I think the question is, is Axel ready, Emily replied back with a grin. Let’s go, Gabriel said, leading Emily and Rica to the challenge circle. Emily could hear a lot of people talking as they approached the circle. There was a buzz of excitement as she approached

“She’s waking up,” Emily heard a femine voice yelling right before she heard the pounding up feet and then her hand being held tightly. “Emily. Emily, can you hear me,” her mate asked in a trembling voice. The sound of his voice and the pain that was in it broke her heart. It took more energy than she would have ever thought, but Emily finally forced her eyes open. As soon as she could focus, she found her eyes locked with beautiful relief filled green ones. “Hi,” she managed to croak out with a small smile. “Hi beautiful,” Gabriel replied huskily as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead. “How are you feeling?’ “Thirsty and tired for some reason. Rica said that I have been out for three weeks.” Gabriel helped Emily to sit up a little so that she could take a few sips from the cup of water that was pushed into his hand. “Yes. The wound hit you harder than anyone thought. Agatha thought that she had lost you for a moment, but Rica pulled you back. We just couldn’t get you to wa

I kind of figured we would have to do something like that. Do Gabriel and Conri know? Emily asked grimacing. Nope, Rica said. How much trouble are we going to be in for doing this?Loads. They might even kill us if we make it. Do you think that my grandmother would have suggested this if she thought we wouldn’t. No, but I also know that things can go bad quickly, Rica said hesitantly. Why are you so hesitant? Do you know something? I know a lot actually. There just isn’t anything that I can tell you right now. That was helpful. I know. All I can say is that we do need to survive. For Gabriel and Conri? And others…Rica said carefully. What others? I can’t say yet. Okay…so do you not want to save Agatha? I do want to save her, I just need you to be strong and to get us through this. Promise me. I promise. Should we tell Gabriel and Conri? I think we have to. They are going to have to give a lot of their energy to Agatha to heal us. Okay. Do you want to tell them? No.

“Angela, how are they,” Emily asked as soon as they made it back into the valley and then rushed to the hospital where all of the injured were receiving help. Emily was relieved to see that everyone that they passed at the hospital did indeed have minor injuries. “Not good,” Angela said, quickly swiping a tear from her cheek. “I can’t keep them in this state much longer, and as soon as they are no longer in this frozen state, they will quickly bleed out.” “Can’t I pull energy and give it to them to help them heal,” Emily asked sadly, as she looked at her grandmother and Agatha. Angela shook her head. “No, the bullets have done too much damage for them to recover from.” “Could we do surgery while they are frozen to repair the damage to give them a fighting chance,” Emily asked, refusing to give up. Angela sighed and slumped in a seat by Agatha’s bed. “Even frozen, the surgery would kill them. Rotterford knew what he was doing when he shot your grandmother. He missed her he

“You are right,” Emily’s uncle said, sighing heavily. “I know that saying ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘I was wrong’ will not fix the mistakes that I have made.” “Then what do you want? The only reason that you are not dead is because my mate was hearing you out,” Gabriel growled. “I wanted Emily to know the truth, and I think I just wanted to clear my conscience.” “You came all of this way so that you could have a clear conscience,” Emily asked skeptically. “And so that you could know the truth,” her uncle said with a small shrug. “I am dying, so if you decide to kill me it won’t matter,” he laughed bitterly. “That might be better than what is coming. I have cancer in case you were wondering.” “I can’t heal you,” Emily said quickly thinking her uncle was hoping that injuring Lord Rotterford and finally telling her the truth would make her help him. She felt bad thinking that, but she also knew that she had to try to help Agatha and her grandmother if possible. She couldn’t help her uncle t

“What do you mean,” Emily asked. “I have made a lot of bad decisions in my life. I know that I can never make what I have done to you right, but I can at least make sure that you are able to live the life that you have now.” “What have you done to me? Do you mean the part where you called me a whore for taking my chances with Lord Rotterford over you,” Emily cried as she pointed to the man that was still withering in pain on the ground. “Or do you mean, where you stole from myself and my parents and forced me out of my own home to pay your gambling debts?” Emily’s uncle looked pained as he admitted, “I have done way worse. I was the fool that told the hunters where they could find your mother. I was blinded by jealousy of my brother. I was hoping that I could make it look like he was the one that told them where she was that day then she would run to me for comfort.” “You wanted to have me killed so that my mom might turn to you for comfort?

Emily wanted to close her eyes as she heard the gun fire, but she found that she couldn’t look away. Knowing that you are about to die is a funny thing. It is almost like time stands still. You have all of the time in the world to think about things, but in reality everything happens within seconds. Since Rica had tried to come forward when Jenna first placed the spell on them, Emily’s eyesight was much sharper. She could see every detail of the bullet as it came barreling toward her, but at the same time her mind took this opportunity to think about all of the things that she would regret. Emily hated the fact that she and Gabriel and Rica and Conri never really got a chance to enjoy each other. Hopefully they know how much they love them. Emily also hated the fact that she couldn’t save her grandmother. She had only come out of hiding after all of these years because of her. Just as the bullet was about to reach her, Emily heard another shot fired. Her eyes changed focus just in

“What in the world is that,” Emily asked. She didn’t realize that she had spoken aloud till Gabriel answered her. “I’m not sure what Rotterford has planned. I think that I hear something metallic mixed in with the sound of the trees moving, snapping, and falling.” “I hear it too,” Hunter replied, taking a step forward. “I don’t suppose that giants are real,” Emily asked, only half joking as she watched more trees shake and then give way to whatever was making their way toward them. “They are real,” Gabriel said, “but this doesn’t sound like a giant. If it was a giant you would know it.” “What do you mean by that,” Emily asked. “Giants are old,” Agatha said. “They are elementals. They are made of rock, water, and ice. If one of them moved you would know. When the ones made of rock move it makes the news because they have either caused an earthquake or a landslide.” “Oh,” Emily said as she felt the ground vibrating under them. I still think it could be a giant. It’s not, Ric

“Remember our deal,” Lord Rotterford said as Jenna fought to not roll her eyes while looking into the two-way mirror that he had given her to use to communicate with her during her trip to meet with Gabriel and the others. . “I remember,” Jenna said, trying to mask the frustration on her face and while trying to add a little tremor to her voice. “I know that my life depends on this.” “If you cross me, I will make sure that you die a very slow and painful death,” Lord Rotterford growled out one last time as they disappeared from sight. With a quick scream of frustration, Jenna threw the mirror at a tree and watched happily as it shattered. Hopefully she would get an additional seven years of bad luck for breaking that mirror, she thought ruefully. Rotterford threatening her with a slow painful death was a joke. He must not realize that she already wished that she could die. The only thing that kept her going was thoughts of Alice. She couldn't lert Alice down. If she didn’t help

An hour later everyone had made it to their assigned locations as far as Emily knew. She was waiting with Gabriel, Hunter, Agatha, and the rest of their core group. Always worried about an attack Gabriel was making sure to keep Emily blocked by him, Hunter, Samuel, and Axel, but they were also trying to keep it from looking obvious at the same time. Emily and Rica tried not to roll their eyes at the guys worrying about protecting them. She also knew that there were warriors all around them even though she could not see them. A few of the witches like Breanna, Agatha, and others could aparate warriors as needed, but due to the numbers needed, Gabriel and the others decided to find another way to have warriors able to be in multiple locations unseen. The solution that they found was a small charm that would allow the warriors to be invisible for up to four hours. This time frame allowed enough of the warriors to be set up and prepared if the hunters attack. The rest of the warriors wer
