LIAMThe cold in the darkness of the van seeped into my body. I tried to move and to shift into a more comfortable position. But, every muscle screamed in protest.The giant's beating had left me battered and with a couple of broken bones. Each breath I tried to take sent sharp stabs of pain through my body. My vision was still blurry as my left eye was starting to heal.I was fighting to stay conscious, trying to listen to the sounds around me to know where they were taking me. But, the ringing in my ears made it difficult to focus on anything other than the pain.The van moved forward as it sped down the rough road. Despite the ringing, I heard the tires crunching over gravel and dirt. It meant we were off the main roads.The only other sounds were the engine and the occasional movement of feet. I tried to hear what someone was saying in front but I couldn't make it out.I tried to take stock of my injuries. I wanted to mentally check each part of my body. It would help me decide wh

MAXINEThere was something about spending our last day off in Conrad's house. Maybe it was because it was him, or it was because our lives were finally looking up.But it was so lighthearted. I had been searching for so long—for something I didn't quite know what it was and it held me down. But here, with Conrad and the others, I was starting to feel like maybe I didn’t have to search anymore. I had everything."Oh?" I teased, letting go of him to look at his face. He flipped the pancakes in the pan."I have so much more to show you but, you're going to have to stay long enough to find out." He said."Don’t worry,” I replied. “I’m not going anywhere. I'm right here."But even as I said the words with all my heart, a part of me said that it was a lie. It surprised me. Conrad smiled.After a while, he stacked pancakes on a plate while I removed sausages from a pan. We took them to the kitchen island where there were three stools.I called Peter and Zel and they came to take their seats.

LIAMI couldn't breathe, I couldn't think. I stared at the man standing before me. Brother echoes in my mind. I hadn’t heard that voice in years. Never seen that face in almost a decade.Truth be told, I had hoped I would never hear it again. But, here he was, like a ghost from my past. I’d never expected to see him again, let alone under these circumstances.“Ronan,” I let out in the shock of seeing him."In flesh and blood," He smirked. I had seen that same smirk a thousand times when we were younger. It has always made my stomach turn."Surprised to see me, Liam? Did you think you could escape from me?” He asked, his voice lifting in mockery."Ronan," I said again, repeating the name. I was in disbelief.My older brother, the one who had disappeared years ago without a trace, was right in front of me. The same one who had always lived in my shadow. The one who was jealous of the position I held as the heir to our pack. The one who had tried to kill me.“What the hell are you doing

MAXINEThat strange feeling settled in again. It was stronger this time. So strong that I couldn’t ignore it. Something wasn’t right.“Wait,” I said, pulling back slightly. My breath was coming out in gasps, and my heart still racing from what was about to happen.Conrad froze, his hands still on my waist. His blue eyes searched mine. “What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?"How was I going to explain this? I was going to hurt his feelings and I was going to be the bad person. What did this make me? I still loved Liam and I wanted to be with Conrad. Did that make me a cheater like Liam?I didn't realize I was crying until I saw the worry in Conrad's eyes. "Hey, hey, hey," he said, coming up to cup my cheeks. "It's okay. It's okay. You don't have to do anything you don't want to."I nodded sniffling. "I want to," I let out, "I just…""Tell me, Anna." He whispered."I don’t know," I admitted, my voice shaky. "I just… I have a weird feeling."He frowned, concern furrowing his eyebrows s

LIAMThe darkness was suffocating. But I think it was the silence that did it. It was so quiet down here. I could hear the sound of my blood rushing through my veins.I couldn't tell how long I had been down here. The hours seemed to have blended that I had lost count. I was healing but the cuffs around my wrist kept a steady pump of wolfsbane.It wouldn't be long before I died in this place. I could pick out faint sounds of footsteps but they were never for long. My heartbeat was the constant sound in the room.Not only were the metal cuffs poisoning me but it was cutting off circulation. My hands were always having a dull, constant pain. My muscles ached from the cold. I couldn't even kneel. I was left standing or hanging by my chains. My mouth was dry and even my saliva couldn't fix that.I’d been in bad situations before, but this was different. Those were when I was younger. Before I made a name for myself.And this one wasn’t just about me. This was about my pack, my family, eve

MAXINEThat weird feeling had only grown stronger since that day at Conrad’s house. I couldn’t shake it off, no matter how hard I tried to distract myself. It ate at me, whispering that something was wrong, terribly wrong.It wasn't until the eye of the ancients appeared to me in a dream. "You need to go back," the masked spirit said."Why? Go where?" I knew the answer but I needed to be sure."Liam's pack. He needs you," that was all he said before the dream ended.I spent the next few days trying to act normal. I pretended that everything was fine as I tried to return to our routine at Gray Lodge. But the more I tried to ignore it, the more it caused me to worry.Conrad noticed it, of course. He always notices. He would find me staring off into the distance, lost in thought. He would ask if I was okay. Of course, I would lie. I would tell him I was just tired. Everything was fine.But I could see that he didn't believe me. I couldn't tell him the truth. It meant that I had to tell h

LIAMMy mind was racing. I didn't know if it was because of the wolfsbane or because Ronan had threatened me with Maxine but, my mind felt like it was on fire.I couldn't think straight. The only thing running through my mind was Maxine. Maxine, Maxine, Maxine. Was she safe? Did Ronan know where to find her? Was she well hidden? Did her new identity keep him safe from her?All these questions were eating me up and it didn't help that I was slowly being poisoned. I didn't know how long Ronan had been gone. Briefly, a guard had come to give me water and I had bitten clean into his hand.Ronan had showed up and the giant had held my chin, forcing water down my throat. "It's not time for you to die just yet, Liam. There's so much more I want to show you. So much more you have to see burn to ashes."I spat at him and he had given me the hardest backhanded slap I had ever received. His ring had bitten into my cheek as well."Foolish boy," he had snapped before he left angrily.The metallic

LIAM"In flesh and blood!" Ronan laughed but then he caught himself. "Well, not really. But I'm sure you get what I mean, brother.""Let her go," I said, sounding too calm to myself. My ears were starting to ring.Ronan watched me closely. “You know, she was on her way to find you. How sweet. She must care about you to walk into my trap so willingly. It was almost too easy. She doesn't even have a wolf."My wolf howled in my chest. I lunged at Ronan but the chains held me back. It pulled me back but the sounds of the metal straining echoed in the room. I couldn't do anything but growl."Don’t worry, brother. You’ll be seeing her very soon. I’ve arranged a little… reunion. If we can call it that. It will be like old times. You and me, with the woman we love."I looked at him in disbelief. He was talking about Sandra. We both loved Sandra. That was years ago. She had chosen me and not him. In the end, she died. And he blamed me for it."Don't you dare hurt her!" I yelled.He ignored me
