#Chapter43JASON__"So, what’s the problem?"I asked a Brent, who met me just a few miles away from the cabin in his truck. “A lot of activity has been happening around this house. That is just as much as I know.”“What kind of activity? I need to know what dragged me away from-“A surge of excitement surged through my body. Something was happening. Something was wrong. I never felt something so intense. A warning so vibrant that it stunned me in the moment. Aniyah. "Stop!” I commanded. He slammed his foot on the break; his face twisted up in concern. “Call the others. Meet me at the house. Now!” I did not have time to wait for him. I got out the vehicle and rushed through the brush, pushing myself, picking up speed to make back to the cabin. Bursting through the door, I felt a sense of emptiness when I saw what they left behind. They tossed tables and chairs. They destroyed decorative pieces. Something bad had swam through this cabin. T
#Chapter44JASON_I stood in the cabin, waiting for James to arrive, but my patience was thinning out. Everyone else waited outside. They knew being inside with me would only put them in jeopardy. I knew I should have stayed. I blamed myself. “Shit.” My fist slammed down on the table. The wooden legs beneath the table crumbled. The cabin door opened. “Alpha.”I turned to see James and Aaron."What do I need to do?" James appeared ready to go. "I need something. Anything that could tell us who took her or where they are.""Yes, Alpha." He left without anymore needed instructions. "Aaron. I need you to get in touch with the Gold Wolf tribe. I may need their help also.”"No problem.” He responded before he took off. **********I could barely hold on to my stability now. I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Every minute that had passed felt like hours, and I still did not have much to go on. "What’s going on? What happened?" I
#Chapter45ANIYAH_Standing in a daisy filled meadow, all I wanted to do was bask in it. The warm sun shined on me, brightening my pink sun dress. I inhaled the sweet smell if flowers and clean air, adoring the cool breeze that blew through my hair.Suddenly, the scenery changed. I was in the middle of wolves. On one side was a line of wolves that looked familiar. Jason. The other side were wolves I never saw before. Unfamiliar, vicious wolves. They all appeared ferocious; growling and snarling, baring their teeth at one another to intimidate. Me?I was standing in the middle. Fear was keeping me from running, from moving, from screaming. As I feared, they all lunged forward and charged one another. The sound of the heavy paws were like thunder ravaging the field. I dropped to my knees and closed my eyes. The sound menacing sounds flooded my ears as tears rained down my cheek. Suddenly, there was nothing but silence. The growls, the whimpering, the
#Chapter46JASON_Brent and I allowed James to guide us in pursuit of finding her. With his help, we discovered a secluded home settled within the deepest, most dense part of the woods. It appeared abandoned. The windows were shattered and boarded with slabs of wood and metal. The paint chipped and cracked, exposing old brick that rested beneath it. The thought of her being in such a place angered me. "She’s in there?" I asked James.“This is where the scent runs cold.” He confirmed. Crouching behind a bush, I stood up to procced before they tugged me back. "What are you doing?" Brent gestured toward the guards that stood watch. "I’m getting her.”"Not now." Brent advised. “What the fuck do you mean?” I snatched my arm away. “If I know where she is, I getting her-““Jason, listen. Think logical. If you walk over there and start killing off rogues, that will put you, us, and especially her, in danger. I know you are moving on hatred, but we have to
#Chapter47JASON_Earlier in the day…“I need a group south of the house and two smaller groups east and west of the house. My group will take the front.” I gave both packs specific instructions. “We have to move smart, fast, and make sure to get in and get her immediately.”After confirming the plan, I continued. “I need her back.” I could see the worry in their eyes. Some were hopeful, some were worried that their Luna would not return. Those type of thoughts upset me, but I need them to have their heads on right. "She’s still alive, I can feel her." I confirmed, watching as their eyes filled with hope. Once finished, they always dispersed from the cabin to prepare for sunrise. I sat down to think. I couldn’t. I could not think of anything else besides her. All I could think about is the woman I put in danger, the woman I introduced into this world. Truthfully. I could not feel her. I didn’t know for sure if she was alive or not and that scared the sh
#Chapter48ZEIDEN_Talking to Aniyah had deep in thought, reminiscing about my mother, which was breaking me. I missed her. I could feel her, her spirit, lingering around, blessing me. I would remind her of our promise. I told her I kept her promise, making sure she knew I was still looking after her only daughter, Alana. “If I do not make it, go to my pack. Help yourself.” She begged me. “What? I can’t do that.”“You can-““it’s not as easy as you make it sound. I’m known as a rogue man.”“I’m the Luna.” She said, hope resting in her eyes. “And I accept you. I accept you.”I can’t. I can’t just leave my sister.”“It’s okay. You did all you could do. Do not suffer for her anymore. Be happy. Be with people who will appreciate you.”It was not that easy. It will never be easy. I made a promise. "I just cant."I could not dwell on the topic any longer. I had to leave. I had to get away. Looking at her once more, I found that hope. Eyes that resemble
#Chapter49I sat in my room, thinking, wondering how she might feel as this very moment. I was struggling. Straining myself to hold back the inner monster that was on edge. "Hey Jason?" Aaron walked in, taking a seat next to me. "It’s almost time.""I know.""Are you sure we can trust this Zeiden guy?""No.” I answered truthfully. “But our choices are limited and we are prepared for whatever might happen.”If we attack without eyes, they would see us coming, and kill her where she sat. Even though I knew nothing about Zeiden, I had no other options. Aaron nodded before she stood up. “Where are ready when you are.” He said. "We move now."**We slipped through the dense brush towards the secluded home. The home that housed her. “Stay out of sight.” I warned the others as they split up in their groups. I opened my phone before I sent Zeiden a message to confirm our arrival. It was dark. The only thing we could was sit in watch from the dar
#Chapter50I failed to get away. I failed Zeiden, the man who struggled to free me. I failed my mother, the woman who wanted nothing but for me return home. I failed Jason. The man who I wanted to be with. Shit. Honestly, did I really believe I would outrun a werewolf?I ran as fast as my feeble legs would take me. That was until one of Kane’s men caught up to me, and dragged me right back to the house. I found Zeiden standing behind Kane. He kept his head high, but I could not ignore the look of defeat that was lingering in his eyes when he saw me. Kane pushed me to the ground before he positioned me in front of him. In front of Jason. He was standing there. Every emotion I could think of was resting on his face. Anger. Sorrow. Disappointment. Guilt. I yearned to hear his voice, but the anger that blossomed from the surrounding wolves made that impossible. He struggled to remain calm by ceasing his outburst and containing the pack. However, how could an
