Aryan-

Sitting on the couch in the living room, I sat between Kierian and Liam. Sylvie and Connor were still in Lycan form. The house was large enough so they could move in and out of the house without trouble. Now that Liam has shifted into his human form, it is easy to guess that the other male Lycan was Connor.

Although the couch was oversized, three witches were sitting on chairs they brought from the kitchen table. Things were a bit tense, as I was sure they didn’t like that there were more Lycans involved than just me. One of them asked if it was necessary for there to be four of us.

“Let’s start with when this happened.” Kierian led the discussion.

“It started a month ago. At first, we thought that one of the kids just wandered off. It happened in the morning. The first child was sixteen, and she just received her license. She has a boyfriend a few towns over, so we thought she went to see him. It wasn’t the first time, which is why it didn’t raise any flags for anyone. It wasn

    Aryan-“What do you think we should do?” After reviewing the files for the past few hours, I asked the others.“I don’t think what we do matters, but we need to do it quickly.” Connor sighed.“Why do you say that?” I pulled my brows together and focused my attention on him.For the last hour, it could tell something was bothering him. He won’t tell anyone, even when I have asked if he is okay. It seemed like he was on edge.“Tomorrow is Halloween. If something is going to happen with those children, it will be tomorrow. There is a chance that I am wrong.” Connor leaned back on the couch and crossed one leg over the other.“You don’t think they are waiting to do anything with the kids until Halloween, do you?” I jerked my head around as I looked at Kierian.He paused before answering, which didn’t bode well with me. “It is possible. It might not be true as well. We don’t know why they took the kids. Other than they are all children, born from a witch family and the same coven, I do no

    Aryan-As soon as we were ready, we drove the long way around town to enter from the opposite side. If we entered from the side the witches were on, they were likely already watching out for them to cross. When we were at the border, I was having second thoughts.“What if they catch us the moment we cross?” I asked Kierian.“Don’t worry, even if we are caught, I won’t let anything happen to you.” He smiled at me, which didn’t help ease my tension.It wasn’t me that I was worried about. It was the kids, him, and the witches. As for me, I knew Kierian would put my safety above all else. I still didn’t know how I felt about it, but I had to admit it was slightly comforting.“We need to use our link to communicate from now on.” Liam said upon exiting the car we borrowed from one of the witches.It was a minivan and would be able to hold most of us. Connor, Sylvie, and Liam were going to create a diversion when we had the kids so there was enough room for Kierian, me, and the kids. It was

    Aryan-I didn’t know why I hadn’t smelled it sooner, but the scent of burnt sulfur was heavy in the air as we approached what looked like a warehouse. When we reached the large door that would allow us to gain access to the building, the others joined us. We stopped and looked at each other for a long time without speaking.I couldn’t be sure if they were communicating with each other without including me. I felt like I was in the dark about what was going on. They all had a look of understanding on their faces that I couldn’t grasp.“What is it?” I asked, using the link, since I wasn’t sure if we were being quiet anymore or not.“When a Lycan is being burned, they secrete a strong sulfur scent. There is a Lycan here, but I don’t think they are here on their own. We were going to rush in but realized that if they could capture one of our kind, then it is likely that this situation is a lot more dangerous than we thought.” Kierian responded telepathically, which confirmed we were still

    Aryan-Relying on pure instinct, I ran through the warehouse. I had no idea where to find Kierian’s sister, but I had to try. It would be easier if it weren’t for how strong the burnt sulfur scent was. The others were in the same predicament as I was.“In here!” Callie’s voice rang out, causing me to skid across the floor slightly as I stopped.Backtracking a few steps, I peered through the small window of a room I passed. I hadn’t seen anything the first time I looked. Pushing open the door, I stuck my head in and smiled when I saw her chained to a table in the corner of the room.Without waiting, I moved toward her to try to get her freed. “I am so glad to see you.”“Me too, girl, now get me out of here.” She tugged at the chain that I started trying to unlock.“Can you try breaking out?” I asked, even though I knew it was pointless.“If I could, I would have already been out of this. They gave me something that is making me weak. Also, they spent four days stabbing me with a hot me

    Kierian-Pacing the foyer of the house we were staying in, I kept checking the clock on the wall when I would turn to glance at the door. Aryan was currently in a magical coma, where her body was frozen in time. I didn’t know that was possible until the witches said it was the only way to keep the silver from entering her bloodstream.It has been ten hours since we returned to the house, and everyone has been running around trying to help. The witches were grateful that we rescued the kids, but it annoyed me every time they brought over food. I understood they were trying to help, but we wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for them.Actually, I take that back. We would still be in the situation. If there was anyone to blame, it was me. If I hadn’t been so pigheaded about everything, we would have found a different way to approach this mess. My sister wouldn’t have been used as a trump card, Aryan wouldn’t have been forced to help the witches, and she wouldn’t be floating in th

    Kierian-It took another six hours to get more doctors here. All I have to say is that I am glad that private jets exist. The only ones that hadn’t arrived yet were Aryan’s Godparents. They were due to arrive any minute. I haven’t told them what was happening, other than Aryan was injured, and we needed Dexter to help another doctor.I had to lie and tell them I didn’t know anything about what was happening. Now that we were at the hospital, I was waiting outside for them to arrive. We had to use a human hospital, so it hadn’t been easy to get Aryan moved. With the help of the witches, we managed.I hated that I wasn’t beside Aryan right now, but I had to be the one to great Dexter and Maize. When they learn what is going on, I prefer they hear it from me. Checking my watch, I wondered if they were finding the place okay. They said they would be here five minutes ago.“Kierian?” The familiar voice of Dexter had me turning around to face them.“Thank you for coming. I wouldn’t have cal

    Kierian-“You do realize that part of the reason I am hurting is because of you, right?” I took a step forward, clenching my fists at my sides.“I didn’t do anything to you.” My father looked at me with disbelief in his eyes, and I wanted to knock him on his ass.“I must admit, I am disappointed in you. My entire life, I have believed that you were the greatest Alpha King ever to take on the role. I decided to take a different path partially because I didn’t think I could do what you do. I wanted to help others all around the world in person. I was ready to give the role to my sister, who I think would do just as good as you. Now, I think anyone is better than you.” I attempted to regain my calmness by taking two steps back.“Hold it right there.” My father glared at me, but I wasn’t fazed.“No. I have kept my mouth shut over the years because I thought there was nothing I could say to you. From the way I saw it, you were the best. Maybe not the best father since I spent most of my li

    Kierian-I know we are supposed to wait, but waiting was killing me. It has been four hours since she came out of the operating room. Four hours since the witches left. Four hours since my father left. Four long hours since she was fully healed.After surgery, her accelerated healing kicked in, and the wounds on her disappeared. Dexter explained that even if her body had healed, that didn’t mean her mind had. There was also no telling what other kind of damage she sustained after having silver in her body for so long. Then, there was also the fact that too much time had passed before they started operating on her.“You need to sleep, eat, do something. You can’t sit here all the time. You need to take care of yourself too.” My sister Callie entered the hospital room, where I sat with Aryan.“I am fine.” I only glanced at her momentarily before returning my gaze to Aryan.I was afraid that if I wasn’t watching, I would either miss the chance to see her eyes open or she would slip away

    Aryan-Filled with raw and intense power, I could suddenly move again. Without hesitation, I kicked open the locker door. It felt like I was being swarmed with a tornado of wind. My hair blew wildly around me as I rushed toward Charlie.Instead of going straight for him, I moved past him slightly. Charlie’s eyes widened as I grabbed his wrist and twisted. I heard his bone snap as Kierian fell from his grasp. Without pausing, I wrapped my arms around Kierian and moved him to the far end of the hall.It wasn’t until I placed Kierian on the ground that I realized I had shifted into my Lycan form without realizing it. Just like the day at the hospital when I saved everyone, I touched my hand to Kierian’s chest to transfer my energy to him. He gasped as his eyes widened, and he jolted upright.Hearing something crackle behind me, I twisted around to see Charlie transforming into a beast I had never seen before. It was like he was part werewolf and something else entirely. His eyes were red

    Aryan-“Are you okay?” Kierian was instantly at my side when I reached the basement.I struggled to remain upright, but I could feel my injuries already starting to heal. “I am fine. We need to figure out a different way to take him out. If you hadn’t seen, I couldn’t match his speed. His movements were too fast for me to get a single hit in.”“It might help if you shift into Lycan form.” Kierian suggested.“I tried, but he was relentless in his attacks.” I sagged onto a chair that Slater pushed toward me.“You haven’t been a Lycan for long, so it is understandable if you can’t shift in an instant whenever you want. We worked on things but never practiced shifting when under attack.” Slater stepped beside Kierian as he spoke.“I could shift down here and go up, but there isn’t a large enough passage. Maybe if I come out of hiding but stay distant from him, I could shift before attacking?” I looked between Kierian and Slater.“It could work, but…” Slater began.“You can’t risk exposing

    Aryan- I tried not to think about Maize and Dexter for the rest of the weekend. I quickly realized my mistake the next day when we heard they had taken my warning and packed quickly. They left the house, and there were no signs of them anywhere. I know I shouldn’t have warned them. Slater made me realize I was likely in shock and had not thought things through. The Alpha King assured me they wouldn’t get away, but that didn’t make me feel better. I just hoped I didn’t make any mistakes when meeting Charlie today. The weekend had gone by in a blur, but I now had to focus. Standing outside, where Charlie was supposed to meet his son, I was extremely nervous. Kierian didn’t like the idea of me going alone, but I felt it was the only way to get Charlie to fall into our trap. He still didn’t like it, but I agreed to let him be close by just in case. Staying out of sight, I kept glancing at my phone to check the time. A few minutes before the agreed-upon time, I saw Charlie had arrived.

    Aryan-Looking at the open folder, tears formed in my eyes as I saw a letter addressed to me from my father. Blinking away the tears, I picked up the first paper with shaky hands. It took a while for my eyes to focus, but I began to read aloud when they did.“My lovely daughter Aryan, I know this might come as a surprise to you, seeing as I failed to keep everyone safe. I know you thought highly of me and believed I could take on the world, but I am not a superhero. Since you are reading this, it means I failed to stop the evil that has been brewing for years. My most trusted Beta, Charlie, has betrayed me. I thought I could give him the benefit of the doubt when I started noticing things, but as it turned out, I was wrong. I didn’t realize how bad he was until it was too late. Your mother was also aware of this, but now that you are reading this, I know she didn’t survive. I hope that you can take care of your brother for us.”I stopped reading for a moment as I let out a strangled s

    Aryan-While we waited for the witches to arrive, I worked on getting everyone set up. The girl, who hadn’t been subjected to being in wolf form, was known as Maddie. She was surprisingly very mature for her age. She helped find things for everyone since she was the one who knew her Pack the most.By the time we found a place for everyone, I was surprised to find out that the majority of her Pack were teachers, doctors, business owners, and so forth. Now, all we had to do was turn them back into humans. It was a good start.With people who could help rebuild the Pack, it made my life a little less complicated. The witches were due to arrive the following morning. We still had a few days before we needed to worry about Charlie. With an entire weekend, I wasn’t sure what to do.For the most part, the school was prepared for the final battle. All the teachers and students had finished reviewing everything, and Slater ran us through everything before we left. Slater said he would come by

    Aryan-The following day, we skipped school to go to the Pack, where the Lycans disappeared. We weren’t sure how long we would need to deal with the situation. We didn’t know if it would be another situation, like when we were in Louisiana.It wasn’t a long drive, as it only took us an hour and a half to arrive. We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived, but this hadn’t been it. It looked like we pulled into a ghost town. The buildings looked like they were barely standing. Most had been burned, while a few looked like they had partially bulldozed.Only a few buildings remained, but even they looked like they had seen better days. Kierian stopped the car in the middle of the road, but no one got out. This time, we were in a large SUV since there were five of us, and we didn’t see the point in taking two vehicles.If not for the fact that we could sense others, we would have thought we had come to the wrong place. I also sensed the presence of another Lycan, but it was faint. Looki

    Aryan- Over the next few days, we went through special training with Slater. Everyone, including the teachers, worked together to learn about the underground bunker until we all knew it by heart. We learned where every entrance was, including the hidden ones. I was surprised when one of the locations was inside my locker. Everyone was given a communication device and a suit to wear, which we were required to always wear just in case there was an attack. We didn’t think Charlie would show up yet since we didn’t know where he was. I still had to figure out a way to get him to come here. After school, me, Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie tried to learn more about the Pack that Connor and I visited. It took us a few days, but we managed to locate the Alpha that oversaw the Pack. He was a few years older than we were, so at least we thought it would be easy to talk with him. His name was Aaron, and he seemed nice. I wasn’t sure why he turned his Pack into a tourist spot, but that wasn’

    Aryan-Once the students and teachers were in the auditorium, Kierian started telling the students what was going on. I was amazed at how flawless he was as he spoke. It was like he spent months practicing. With how his presence filled the room, I knew he was going to be an excellent leader.Unlike me, he didn’t stumble with his words. He got straight to the point. Everyone sitting in the auditorium was giving him their full attention. None of them blinked as he spoke or attempted to interrupt him. They looked eager even as they waited for him to finish.Everything I had told the teachers, he basically said the same, except in fewer words and with more confidence. When every student agreed to go through the testing to be able to help, I didn’t know why I was surprised. No one asked questions or doubted him, but that goes to show he was a well-respected future Alpha.From the front row of seats, Mr. Slater motioned for me to go to the exit door, that was left of the stage. We met by th

    Aryan-Monday morning, I was a mess. I was fairly sure I had dark bags under my eyes that developed an hour after school started. I was nervous, and my fingernails have looked better, but I chewed them off as I kept circling the conference room, where the meeting would be held.Yesterday, I had everything planned out about what I would say to the teachers, but now it was like my mind was blank. I was rethinking my plan to get them involved. The only teacher I knew was on my side, was Mr. Slater, but that was a given.He was the only teacher that had arrived. While he sat in one of the many chairs around the oval table, I circled around the room. Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie sat in chairs along the wall, appearing to be completely confident.“You are going to burn a hole in the rug if you keep doing what you are doing.” Slater chuckled.“Easy for you to say, all of you look like this is just another Monday.
