A few of my pack loitered in the hall strolling between the kitchen and the dining hall. Casper's voice boomed from the office. Will stood guard outside the door.
"Casper sent everyone back to their cabins after Gage sent reinforcements to help guard your territory," Will explained the unusual silence after the chatter and bustle of the last few days.
"Casper has no right to make that call," I growled. Mountain Ridge was my pack, the people mine to protect. Since his arrival Casper had slowly chipped away at my power, questioning the loyalty of my pack and my every move.
"That's what I said," Will shrugged, "but, I have no right to be challenging your King, that's on you."
I nodded making my way to the office. Lena, Blake and Kayla followed.
"Finally," Casper growled as we opened the door and filtered inside. He paced the small room with his arm

Maddox's POVBlake grinned up from the blaring screen in front of him."Done," he said as he finished tapping keys. "It's posted.""Great," I sighed. Casper pursed his lips, his head shaking. He was the only one who raised concerns out loud about us posting werewolf business on a human trinket like the internet. Gage thought it was a brilliant idea. No one else really understood him as far as I could tell."So, I can like make friends on this thing?" Princess Serena asked peering over Blake's shoulder with wide eyes."Uh-huh," Blake confirmed. "It's how Will and Amber met.""You mean I can find a mate using this thing?" She jabbed a finger at the screen."Kinda," Blake said, spinning in his chair to face her. "I'll show you later.""Cool," her blue eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. She cooed at the screen as if it had just performed a groundbreaking magic trick."So what now?" I aske

Maddox's POV Willow's heartwrenching sobs echoed through the dusty library. Her tears soaked Kayla's shoulders as she hugged the witch tight. Casper shuffled from foot to foot. Gage loitered behind the embracing women, his gaze shifted down. The sun had long since dipped behind the trees outside. The flickering orange glow of candlelight bounced off the walls, shimmering in Kayla's deep chestnut hair. Willow's wavy mane was thinner, duller, lacking the shine of Kayla's but the shade matched exactly. Willow's knees buckled, she folded in Kayla's arms. Kayla stooped with her, gently lowering the weeping woman to the floor. "She killed my baby," Willow wailed. "She forced me to help her and then she killed my babe anyway. I never got to see her. I never got to hear her cry or stroke her head or smell her soft skin. She never knew my touch." "I'm sorry," Kayla said, pulling away, her hands still rested o

Maddox's POV I gazed at the witch, unblinking, trying to make sense of her words. "Huh?" I eventually managed to squeak. "It was your blood," she repeated firmly. "You were at the castle to celebrate the Princess' naming ceremony. The Lycans refused her request so she asked if the blood needed to be pure. It was because it wasn't pure she demanded I use more. You were ten years old." I shook my head, frowning at her, vaguely aware of Blake at my side, resting his hand on my shoulder. "I think I'd remember a virtual stranger taking blood from me," I said, "you must be mistaken." "You're Maddox Mason?" Willow asked, "son of Nicholas Mason?" I nodded. "Then I am not mistaken. It was her lover's idea. He was close to you." "Who?" Blake snapped, stiffening at my side and tightening his grip on my shoulder. Willow dropped her head and sighed. "I'm sorry," she said looking up at

Kayla's POVMaddox inched closer, grabbing my hand and squeezing so hard my bones threatened to break. The pack filtered in from other rooms, all keeping their distance. Soft sniffles echoed around the hallway.The wolf Nico dropped to his knees at Wilow's feet, wrapping his arms around her waist, pressing his face into her barren stomach."Willow," he whispered. "I promise, she is out there."Willow shook her head, tears streaked her ivory cheeks. Her lips moved in protest but grief swallowed any sound she tried to make.My heart swelled in my chest."I thought I lost you," Nico cried, hugging Willow harder."You... You left me," Willow snarled as a lifetime of grief twisted into rage and abandonment. "I thought she had killed you and our child but you left me."Nico pulled himself to his feet. He towered above Willow as he took her tiny human hands into his giant paws."I woul

Skye's POVWillow sobbed into my neck. Nico's arms squeezed tighter. My heart threatened to burst. There was so much I wanted to say, so many questions I needed to ask but my brain and mouth refused to cooperate."Did you bring anyone else?" Casper asked. Nico turned his head but refused to loosen his grip on me and Willow."I've been building an army," he grinned. His words brought reality crashing back down. I finally had everything I'd ever dreamed of. A pack who protected and loved me. A mate who would die for me and parents who adored me and a war hung over me, promising to take it all away."Not now," Maddox growled. "No war. Not tonight. Kayla needs time to reconnect with her family. Alaya is no more a threat tonight than she will be tomorrow.""Every second we waste..." Casper started. A low, menacing growl from Lena cut him off."You can give them tonight. Blake and I will welcome any newco

Maddox's POVI left Kayla in my grandparent's small garden with Will guarding the entrance and made my way back to the packhouse. She needed some time alone with Willow and Nico to try and make sense of the bombshell that just landed. A wall of noise smacked into me as I opened the door.I blinked, trying to make sense of the sight before me. Hundreds of strangers were crammed into the packhouse. Amber and Lena were folding out camping beds in the entrance hall."They came," Blake grinned rushing over with a massive grin on his face. "They all came to help.""But can we trust them?" I frowned. Because if we couldn't we were outnumbered two to one."Well, we'll need Skye to weed out any potential spies, but I think so.""Skye?""Yeah, you know, Kayla? Your mate.""Yeah," I sighed running my hand down my face. "I'm just tired and overwhelmed. This is a lot of werewolves.""I

Skye's POV"Skye," Maddox said cupping my face, "If I do this and anything goes wrong..." he dropped his gaze as his voice trailed off. His sweet face twisted in anguish."Then don't let it go wrong," I growled."Alaya will not take the cure willingly," he said lifting his gaze to meet mine. Tears glittered in his blue eyes. "I will need to get close to her and you saw what she did at White Castle."The horror I witnessed in White Castle was burned into my memory like a grotesque scar. The terror and agony etched onto the faces of the mangled bodies. The heavy, sickening scent of blood and fear lingering in the air. A heavy, Lycan proof cell ripped to shreds like it was nothing more than paper. My stomach lurched at the possibility of Maddox getting anywhere near close to the thing that caused it all."Ask someone else to do it," I begged, gripping his hands in mine. I squeezed so hard, so desperately, I never w

A soft smile rested on her lips."Mmm," she sighed, arching her back."It's morning," I whispered brushing a stray curl from her face. Her smile faded. She twisted to her side pulling herself up on her elbow to face me."It's today, isn't it? We go to war today?"I nodded swallowing down the lump in my throat.We had the perfect night last night, alone in the woods with only the song of the crickets for company we finally sealed our bond. We were mates. True, bonded mates and today we go to war with the vilest enemy my people have ever faced.Skye twisted herself around, pulling her knees into her chest as she faced the sunrise.

The Patient's POVA burning sensation pulsed through my head like something was screaming inside my brain. My body ached and tensed with lightening hot pain, as if my limbs were twisting and breaking. I tried to open my eyes but the light pierced through me.I didn't know where I was but I knew I needed to be somewhere. Desperately needed to be somewhere. Something was missing. Something more important than anything else in the world. Something more important than air or food. It was like a part of me was missing, ripped away by a terrifying darkness. I took a deep breath, ignoring the stabbing, scratching pain in my ribs, and forced one eye open. The room I was in was dim and dusty but the warm glow from the fire was enough to make my eyeball scream in agony. Despite the pain, I forced my other eye open, squinting against the soft, orange glow of the flames dancing in the open fire. A deep knot tightened in my gut. I didn't know where I was. I frantically scrabbled through my brain,

Alaya's POVI tossed the empty rabbit trap back to the ground, scowling at it as if my rage would somehow shame it into trapping something edible. Without Fyre hunting was next to impossible but my patient would need sustenance if he ever woke up. A few dozen rabbits waited in the freezer for him, hardly enough to last a large werewolf three days. There was no telling how long it would take him to gain the strength to hunt for himself if he ever awoke.I'd snuck into a local human settlement a few days after finding him and stole some supplies. Patrick left a full pantry when he left but he couldn't live on sugar water forever. His body was already smaller and weaker than when I found him three weeks ago.Since Obsidian finally left me I had trawled Cedar Woods day and night, desperately searching for food. Yet more desperate was my search for survivors or any evidence that my people still lived, that Obsidian had not obliterated my entire pack along with every other pack in our regio

Alaya's POV I woke on the soft, mossy mound Henry left me on. The iron tang of blood still rested on my tongue. The horrors of the night came flooding back. The desperate pleas of women and children begging for their lives flooded my mind. It wasn't supposed to be like that. They were supposed to worship me for rescuing them from the moronic leadership of Ralph and his insipid son. The only ones supposed to die were Ralph and Casper and their soldiers. Oh Goddess, the Princess. She was a newborn, only a few days old and innocent. Fat, heavy tears rolled down my cheeks. I wanted power, I wanted revenge for losing Fyre. I wanted people to cower in my shadow. I didn't want terror and massacre. "Hmm," Obsidian murmured as she woke from her slumber. "Last night was the best night of my life," she grinned. "The screams, the terror and the carnage wasn't it just amazing?" "You're insane," I snapped. "You're sick.

Skye's POVWords spewed from the mouths of my friends and my family. My pack, our pack, Maddox's and mine but they made no sense. Maddox was lost. Not gone and yet they insisted on spewing lies at me instead of looking for him. On holding me tight, suffocating me with their grief instead of scouring the lands for him. He wasn't gone. I refused to believe it.We won. Maddox told me we won. Those were the last words he spoke to me before he was lost. Maddox would not lie to me.He promised me if he didn't make it our bond would slowly fade along with the mark he left on my skin but I felt it more than ever. He needed me. He was out there, lost and broken and he needed me."Skye," Blake said holding his hand to me."He's here," I said, "he's right here."I clasped my hand to my heart."Gage has called for transport back to Greystone. We can't stay here."Everything inside me boiled with rage an

Blake POVI dragged myself up from the mud and leaned against a half uprooted tree. Every bone in my body screamed in agony as I scanned the chaos around me. Bodies lay broken and battered. Trees were felled. Dirt and debris still fell from the sky.Skye stood in the middle of it all, howling an agonised howl that burned into my memory like a wretched scar."Maddox! Maddox!"No matter how loud she screamed he offered no reply.I looked over to where I last spotted Lena and my heart crashed to my knees. My stomach twisted into a thick knot. Her tiny, bruised body lay motionless in a crumpled heap against a rock. Blood matted her golden hair."Lena," I croaked still struggling to breathe after the massive blast of energy from Alaya threw me sailing through the skies.

Maddox POVAlaya stormed towards me her amber eyes locked on Henry's lifeless corpse and his blood-soaked son still standing over him with his fangs bloody and dripping. She didn't care who got in her way, her own warriors or mine, they were all fair game.She tossed their bodies aside as if they were nothing more than ragdolls. They smashed into trees or slammed into the ground their bones snapping and cracking as they landed. The anguished wail tearing from her lungs never waned.Skye tried to slow her down throwing the ground beneath her thick, heavy paws into the air. The earth rumbled and shook. Warriors, ours and Alaya's fell down crevices opening in the ground, their bodies buried by the debris raining from the sky.Willow's coven chanted spells, desperately trying to slow the beast down.I readied the syringe and rushed towards it, jumping over fallen trees and broken bodies. the beast fell to all

We'd finally come to an understanding. He respected me and I listened to him and now it was all about to bed.Blake, Lena and Skye were the last to change."You take care of each other," I warned them."And you take care of you," Blake said as he shifted into his wolf."I love you," Skyesobbed as she let Izzy free. I kept my eyes on her massive white wolf as she took off into the herd rushing over the ridge. Lena was last to leave.Lena, my best friend for as long as I could remember. No matter how bad things got she was always at my side, always defending me and watching my back. She was the strongest wold I knew.

Maddox POVWarriors crammed into every inch of the entrance hall. Some spilt out of the kitchen and office, others piled on the balconied landing behind me. Hundreds of warriors, stood waiting for me to address them. Skye stood at my side at the top of the staircase. Casper, Serena, Blake and Lena stood behind me. The silence was sickening, deafening. Even the birds in the trees beyond our fortified walls stopped their singing and listened.Our families were secreted away in Greystone Manor. Whisked away amid tears and goodbyes to safely live another day. We all knew some of us would not live to see them again. My Gran took it hardest of all, wringing her hands in her apron and sobbing hysterically as she was forced into a four-wheel drive and taken away to safety. She knew as well as I did what needed to happen. Only I could force the cure into Alaya. And I would not survive it.Skye gripped my hand, her palm damp from the t
